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

"But...you dare to play me...you're asking for death!!"

The horns on the head of the Asura rhinoceros beetle are elongated.

"Asura Mode!!!"

After a while, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle finally stopped its muscle expansion.

Its entire skin and armor turned purple.

evo?

"Phew!"

"After activating this mode, I will lose my mind for a week."

"Heh, all that's left now is relentless fighting instinct!"

"I'll kill you first, then go to the city... and keep killing, killing, killing!!!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle spits as it flies.

"I will not stop killing until next Saturday!"

"Since you're some kind of powerful hero, then come and stop me, hahaha!!!"

Upon hearing this, Saitama's pupils suddenly contracted.

Naruto, who had anticipated this, quickly perked up.

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle is powerful, but not enough for Naruto to take seriously.

In the original manga, Saitama got beaten up for quite a while during this part.

When Saitama was attacked, it was when his power was most severely depleted.

Moreover, it is easier to absorb than usual.

Om-! ! !

The next instant, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, now in Asura Mode, appeared before Saitama.

A fist the size of a sandbag slammed into Saitama's face.

Boom-! ! !

The punch landed, and the entire laboratory resounded with a deafening roar.

Saitama's face caught Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle's fist.

Then, like a bald cannonball, it shot backward.

Snap! Snap!

After the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle unleashed its punch, the ground beneath its feet emitted a mournful sound.

It cracks continuously outwards from its center.

The cracks, like a spider web, continued to spread.

Until they reached the ground beneath Saitama, who lay there with a look of utter despair on his face.

whoosh-

In the blink of an eye, the figure of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle became blurry again.

The speed was so fast that afterimages appeared one after another.

Genos lay on the ground, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

Boom-! ! !

Saitama seemed to have lost the ability to resist, and was used as a punching bag by the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.

In mid-air, he strikes to the left and kicks to the right.

It's so addictive!

The ferocious face of the Asura rhinoceros beetle, coupled with its eerie screams.

This silenced both Genos and Genod.

The bald man's behavior was completely unlike that of someone who could make the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle show such a terrified expression.

On the contrary... the two sides should be reversed.

Although Ginod couldn't see the battle situation clearly, his confidence was slowly returning.

He couldn't help but look at Naruto, his eyes seeming to say, "The outcome is decided, you can obediently become my experimental subjects."

Saitama, who was flying backwards in mid-air, had an extremely ugly expression.

What... how could this happen...?

"teacher?!"

Genos struggled to his feet.

The body parts were so twisted that they were no longer recognizable as human.

This clearly demonstrates just how powerful the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle is, even before it has activated its Asura Mode.

Of course, Genos can easily kill even mosquito girls, so it's not a big deal.

call out--

Suddenly, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle appeared behind Saitama, who was flying backwards in mid-air.

Its fists were positioned behind its back, in a posture of gathering power, and its face was extremely ferocious.

At this moment, it subconsciously realized that its previous instinctive warning was an illusion.

This kind of enemy is indeed no match for me.

They were people from an old era, and could never compare to people from this new era!

He threw a punch.

Boom-! ! !

Ok? !

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle frowned slightly.

This guy actually managed to react and block?!

So... how much of that kind of attack could you block?!

The aura of the Asura rhinoceros beetle surged.

Immediately afterwards, fists the size of sandbags rained down on Saitama.

Its fists created afterimages, as if hundreds of fists were slamming into Saitama.

Oh no…

At this moment, Saitama felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

"Die! Die! Die! Die!"

Saitama stared at the crazed Asura rhinoceros beetle, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He thought to himself:

This guy said...it has an Asura mode...!!!

Damn it, this guy said it himself that this Asura mode would continue to go berserk like this for a whole week!

In other words, it will continue... until next Saturday?!

Boom-! ! !

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Saitama's face was contorted by the immense force of the attack.

His body was also flying backwards in mid-air.

If that's the case... Damn it!!!

Isn't today Saturday?!

Splash! ...

Suddenly, Saitama landed on his feet, carving two deep furrows in the ground.

The Asura rhinoceros beetle roared and continued to attack him.

call--!!!

At this moment, Naruto's heart rate became extremely fast.

I haven't felt this way for a very, very long time.

Yes, it feels like my strength has increased rapidly.

It's still so wonderful.

Just like back then, he absorbed nutrients without restraint.

All the muscles in my body were moisturized.

For a moment, Naruto had the idea that he could directly absorb the power surrounding Saitama.

However, this thought was crushed the moment it appeared.

At least!

He wouldn't dare to make such an attempt until the older brother who piloted the spaceship arrived.

Knock knock knock—!

Naruto could feel the muscles all over his body twitching.

His gaze was fixed on Saitama.

My breathing became a little rapid.

Just how strong is it?!

This once again refreshed Naruto's understanding of power.

Dreams, oh dreams, are just dreams after all. Compared to reality, they are far too blurry.

At least at this moment, Naruto had the illusion that he was about to face the legendary Otsutsuki God when he first arrived in the ninja world.

Although he did not know how powerful the Otsutsuki god was.

But compared to myself back then, this is probably the situation I'm in now when facing Saitama.

Of course, more importantly, at this moment, Naruto could clearly feel it.

Saitama's power is growing stronger every second.

Even if this feeling only lasts for a fleeting moment.

But Naruto remembered it to the core.

Moreover, this isn't Saitama in his serious mode.

Just from these things, Naruto felt that he still had a very, very long road ahead of him.

Can you imagine that one cheater would be completely helpless when encountering another cheater?

Of course, this doesn't mean that anyone's hanging item is more expensive.

Rather, it's... a comparison between Earth and the universe.

Naruto shook his head helplessly; he was, after all, One-Punch Man.

It's better for Xiaomingzi to just stay put and develop quietly.

However… Naruto wasn’t sure if the power he absorbed from the Mori-Mori Fruit could match Saitama’s rate of power increase every moment.

"It's a done deal. In this world, no one, at least not the humans of the old era, can stop Asura from entering Asura mode."

After a long silence, Genod spoke.

He looked confident, and when he looked at Naruto, a slight mocking smile appeared on his lips.

However, the next second, Genod's mind went completely blank.

Genos was also frozen in place.

"Damn it!"

"So... isn't today a supermarket sale day?!"
