Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"That's not the case."

"However, it will take a considerable amount of time for the forest to recover after such an attack."

Naruto waved his hand and stepped forward to tap on a metal door.

It's obvious at a glance that it leads to the basement.

Upon hearing this, Genos immediately bowed.

"Sorry, I'll be more careful to control the area next time."

Saitama gave Genos a strange look, then looked at Naruto with displeasure.

"Hey...why aren't you covered in dust?"

Naruto completely ignored Saitama's words.

Genos looked at the metal door on the ground and said, "It looks like a door leading underground."

Saitama immediately took action and pried open the thick metal door.

He appeared incredibly relaxed.

The door, which remained intact even under Genos's bombardment, was as fragile as paper in Saitama's hands.

......

tick-

Inside the dark and narrow passageway.

"Ah~!!!"

A pitiful scream suddenly rang out.

Thump thump thump—

Then came the sound of gunfire.

Genod's clone, armed with an AK, opened fire on the colossal creature before it.

He kept making terrified noises.

"No...no!!!"

boom--

Unfortunately, neither his pleas for mercy nor the AK in his hand mattered.

Everything else seems insignificant in the face of this behemoth.

The enormous figure unleashed a powerful punch.

In an instant, blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

On the ground, there were countless similar pools of blood and flesh.

Judging from the remaining clothing.

All of them are clothes with serial numbers belonging to Genod clones.

The enormous figure slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Da da da—

Suddenly, several beams of light pierced through the dark space.

Immediately afterwards, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar.

And that enormous figure was also illuminated.

He is a strange person who looks like a rhinoceros beetle.

Its entire body was firmly chained.

Of course, if it were useful, not all of those clones would have died.

"Yo~ Asura Rhinoceros Beetle."

Genod slowly approached the back of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.

He put his hands in his pockets, trying to appear calm.

However, his trembling voice betrayed his current mood.

"How have you been?"

Hearing the noise behind him, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle slowly turned around.

Then he saw Genod standing behind him, his face covered in cold sweat.

His black suit was enough to prove his identity as Genod himself, not one of the clones.

"You've killed so many of my clones again... Are you satisfied now?"

"Huh?!" the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle exclaimed in dissatisfaction.

"Idiot~!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's face was full of mockery.

"How could anyone possibly be satisfied?!"

"They actually locked me up underground."

As he spoke, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle tugged at the collar around its neck.

"I am the strongest fighter in the House of Evolution!"

click-

In an instant, the metal collar was torn off.

"Your mental state is very unstable."

"Even we can't control it."

Genod's body trembled slightly, but he still forced himself to explain.

"There was no other way but to do this."

boom--

The Asura rhinoceros beetle stomped its foot on the ground to express its dissatisfaction.

"control?"

He bent down, looking at Genod with disbelief.

"Hahaha~!!"

"Idiot~!"

"I am the product of your dreams—the new kind of humanity!"

Then, somewhat smugly, he said:

"Whether in terms of intellect or physical strength, we far surpass those of your old era."

"So, you should be listening to me!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of regret appeared in Gino's eyes.

No, you are a failure.

"While its performance is incredibly powerful, it is utterly devoid of morality."

Thinking about it, Genod raised his head, and his mindset changed.

His tone no longer carried any fear.

"Killing me wouldn't be a problem."

"Anyway, there are plenty of alternatives."

Thinking about his clone, Genod didn't feel much.

Upon hearing this, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle curled its thick lips.

Just about to speak.

Suddenly, Ginovic added, "But please hear me out."

"There are two samples; I absolutely must get my hands on them, no matter what!"

As he spoke, Genod slowly raised his head, his expression carrying an air of unquestionable certainty.

wow-

next moment.

A large screen appeared on the dark wall.

The image above shows Naruto and his two companions going down to the basement.

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle narrowed its eyes slightly.

What could make Genod say something like that...

The target shouldn't be that bald guy picking his nose.

So, there are only two left.

One is a cyborg?

The other one... seems to have the air of a powerful figure.

Looking at the screen above, Genold said in a deep voice:

"But...they're both too strong."

"One of them is already troublesome enough, but now the two of them are together."

Cold sweat poured down Genod's forehead.

He was very clear about the results of his experiment and knew what the detected and calculated data represented.

"Of the entire House of Evolution, right now... only you can deal with them!"

"I just hope you can catch them both."

"Hmph..." The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle sneered.

"Whether they're dead or alive!" Genod suddenly added.

This sentence is an unconscious recognition of Naruto and Saitama's strength.

In addition, it was also to give Asura Rhinoceros Beetle the feeling that he was being considered.

As for whether it will succeed?

Genod had even more faith in the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle than the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle itself.

......

Inside the dark and narrow passageway.

"It's quite spacious underground!"

"This is so exciting!"

It's obvious who said this.

Suddenly, Genos stopped in his tracks.

His expression also became extremely serious.

"Biological activity ahead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Genos shuddered.

Turn your head to look ahead.

"Teacher, Naruto, there are two things coming this way!"

"Very fast!"

boom--

As Genos's voice faded.

The lights ahead began to break and quickly moved toward this location.

"Found it!"

A rough voice rang out.

"There are three?"

"Which one did you not want?"

In the blink of an eye, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle charged towards him, carrying the battered and bruised Genod.

"That cyborg!"

Genod managed to speak.

"Ah~ so I guessed wrong."

"So we don't need that cyborg anymore?!"

whoosh-

In the blink of an eye, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle appeared in front of the three of them.

The enormous fist was as tall as Genos.

Rumble—!!!

With a single punch, Genos was thrown into the wall before he could even react.

Saitama stared blankly at it.

Naruto shook his head; he knew it would turn out this way.

Funding is a weapon... and it's not so easy to win.

"Genos?" Saitama called out calmly, his voice still carrying a hint of doubt.

The next second, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle slammed its feet on the ground to slow down.

Just then, his crotch height surpassed Saitama's.

At this moment, Genos's posture became extremely seductive, with his head embedded in the wall, his arms hanging naturally at his sides, and his buttocks sticking out.

However, Genos was not seriously injured at this moment; at least... he was not killed in one hit.

A layer of soft vines appeared where his head was resting.

"My name is Asura Rhinoceros Beetle!"

"There are specialized laboratories here for combat."

"Let's go there to fight."

Immediately afterward, the Asura Rhino Beetle looked at Naruto.

"Are you planning to come one by one?"

"Shall we keep it simple and try it together?"
