Naruto: Our Goal Is To Dig Every Corner of Konoha

"Did... did I lose?"

Several hours later, Goku finally regained consciousness. Asahi was already chatting with the others, behaving casually without any airs, which drew a crowd of curious people around him, eager to ask questions. The conversation naturally shifted topics.

Goku had been knocked out for a few hours, but unlike Beerus, who had severely injured him with a single blow in the past, Asahi hadn't caused any serious harm. When Goku had provoked Beerus back in the Super Universe, he had been left in critical condition.

Upon waking, Goku quickly joined the discussion, eager to learn how to become stronger. This topic resonated with many around him, as everyone wished to improve, especially after witnessing the overwhelming power that existed. Goku's recent experience had shown him just how insignificant he still was.

"There are quite a few ways to become stronger. For Saiyans, typically, the first transformation boosts power by fifty times, the second by a hundred times, and the third by four hundred times. If one can achieve the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, then their power increases by eight thousand times from the base form!"

Asahi's words stunned everyone. The notion of fifty times, one hundred times, and four hundred times multipliers had always been impressive, but now, the idea of an eight thousand times increase was mind-boggling.

This stunned Goku and Vegeta and other people with Saiyan blood. Why should this be so pervert, it can improve the battle by 8,000 times, it is scary to think about it.

"Eight... eight thousand times! That's terrifying enough already, and to think there's still room for that kind of growth. But how do you even train to become a Super Saiyan 4? Goku, you're already close to that, aren't you?"

Krillin asked, slightly in awe. Goku, however, was at a loss. He had spent seven years training with King Kai to reach the Super Saiyan 3 level and felt he could continue to grow.

Yet, the next transformation eluded him, and he hadn't the slightest inkling or inspiration on how to achieve it.

"I don't know. Asahi-san, do you know how to transform into it?"

Goku shook his head, clearly confused. Hearing this, Vegeta finally felt some relief. Thankfully, Goku had already surpassed him. After all, if Goku progressed further, Vegeta wouldn't know how to react.

"I do know. And it's not a problem to tell you. Achieving this transformation can indeed be a complicated matter, or perhaps it's a matter of coincidence. There are a few prerequisites for becoming a Super Saiyan 4. "

"First of all, you must be able to transform into a Super Saiyan. This is the threshold. Super Saiyan 4 is quite unique. If done correctly, even someone who has just achieved Super Saiyan can achieve it. This is the most crucial step, it's very special!"

Asahi's explanation made Vegeta perk up. He had previously thought that the transformation was far beyond his reach. Now, hearing that one didn't need Super Saiyan 3 as a prerequisite, he felt revitalized. After all, his base power level wasn't weaker than Goku's.

As long as he didn't need to lay the groundwork for Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta felt he had a chance. He was quite excited at this prospect.

"In addition to needing to transform into a Super Saiyan, you also need to have a tail!"

When Asahi mentioned the second condition, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and Vegeta's eyes widened. The reason was simple: every Saiyans' tails had been cut off, including Goku. Only Vegeta's tail was intact.

Why is there such a situation? Naturally, there are Why did this happen? It's because non-royal Saiyans can't maintain their sanity. The only one who could transform under a full moon without losing control was Vegeta. This was his advantage.

However, with the appearance of the Super Saiyan transformation, the Great Ape form was no longer utilized, leaving Vegeta somewhat resigned. He had never thought it would be this convenient to keep his tail.

As the Prince of Saiyans, this was his last pride. He would never cut off his tail like Goku did. As for others like Trunks and Goten, they didn't have tails at all.

It's apparent that while Goku had a tail, the next generation, including Trunks and Goten, didn't. This was frustrating to think about. As for Goku and his own tail, it had been removed and sealed away because of the risk of transforming during a full moon. They hadn't anticipated that the tail would be key to the Super Saiyan 4 transformation. This realization almost made Vegeta jump with excitement.

It must be known that throughout the Super Saiyan transformations, Vegeta had never surpassed Goku, always lagging behind. Now, with this opportunity, he felt exhilarated, eagerly anticipating what would come next.

"After the first two conditions, then there is only the last condition left. Moreover, the last condition is also very simple. That is, you need to transform, using seventeen million Blutz Waves to trigger the Great Ape transformation."

"However, this transformation isn't just a simple one. After becoming a Super Saiyan, you'll transform into a Golden Great Ape. Regardless of bloodline, everyone will lose your sanity, even you Vegeta."

"The final crucial step to transforming is to regain your sanity. The best way to do this is to awaken your reason with the help of someone close to you. Once you do that, you can achieve the Super Saiyan 4 transformation. This process carries significant risk, as you will initially lose control. But right now, the only one meeting the criteria seems to be Vegeta!"

Asahi explained with a smile. However, there was hesitation among them. Vegeta had a family and had been heavily influenced by Earth's culture, which made the thought of undergoing such a transformation challenging for him to accept.

In the original work, transformations were used to combat enemies, but the situation was different now. He was unsure of what to do, though it seemed to be his only chance to surpass Goku. Even if Goku managed to unseal and regrow his tail, it wouldn't be an easy task and would take time.

The original work mentioned that pulling out one's tail could encourage its regrowth. However, this often led to a problem, as the tail would regrow but then wither due to limited battle power. This was indeed a tragic outcome.
