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

An ordinary punch was delivered.

But it made the world lose its color.

Can you block that punch?!

puff--!!!

There was no hindrance whatsoever.

The Deep Sea King's arms, which were blocking the attack, were instantly pierced with blood.

At the same time, the force of the punch pierced through the Deep Sea King's chest.

The Deep Sea King's eyes widened.

He stared in disbelief at the bloody hole that had appeared in his chest.

And behind the Deep Sea King.

The force of the punch hasn't dissipated yet!

Suddenly, a strong wind arose.

Originally, it was pouring rain.

At that moment, it mysteriously vanished!

Even the streets, soaked by the rain, were drenched after the gust of wind from the punch.

It turned into the dryness of a sunny day.

A bizarre scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

After Naruto's punch, the street in front of him was now bathed in sunshine.

But apart from this direction, everything else remains the same.

The torrential rain continued.

thump--!!!

The Deep Sea King's body crashed to the ground.

His powerful self-healing ability seemed to vanish into thin air at this moment.

And on the ground, a large number of vines also grew.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

"Huh?!!!!!"

"What's going on?!"

"Wow, that's amazing...so strong!"

"This is the new S-class hero?!"

"I didn't even see what happened!"

"That monster's been defeated...we're saved!"

"This must be fake!!"

"..."

For a moment, the citizens behind him gasped in surprise.

"One punch... he killed that monster with just one punch?!"

"Just one punch...that's amazing! No wonder he's an S-class hero!"

"Why is it that while other heroes can't even last a few moves... this man can end the fight with a single punch?!"

Suddenly, a fat man with a bowl cut and wearing a plaid shirt sneered from the crowd:

"Heh, he's not really that much of a weirdo, is he?"

Upon hearing this, the young man beside him frowned and said, "That's not right. So many heroes lost to that monster."

"Heh, it's just because the losing hero was too weak, isn't it?"

"This..." This question left the young man beside him speechless.

The fat man with the bowl cut continued, "Titles with A, B, or S written on them are actually not very useful; they're just for attracting attention."

"Hey! Don't say that. They risked their lives to save us!" Someone nearby couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped him.

However, the fat man with the bowl cut sneered:

"If we put in the effort, any of us could do it, right?"

"But a guy who can't defeat a monster doesn't deserve to be called a hero."

"This time, many heroes ended up seriously injured, didn't they?!"

"But I have to ask, are these people reliable enough for us to depend on in the future?"

He was about to continue outputting his message when someone nearby finally couldn't resist and grabbed his collar.

"Have you said enough?!"

"Why? Why are you getting angry at me?"

"Isn't the Hero Association's operating funds just donations from everyone? Since money has been spent..."

Naruto suddenly turned around and looked at the fat man.

For an instant.

The previously noisy environment suddenly became quiet.

"You're right."

"You can choose not to pay in the future, or you can use the money to hire other capable people."

After saying that, Naruto turned and left.

He has achieved his goal.

As for the fat man's words, they have no effect on him.

Even killing him casually would feel like dirty hands.

"etc--!!"

Suddenly, the blonde woman rushed out.

Naruto didn't turn around and vanished from the spot in an instant.

That's enough, we can't have any more...

But upon seeing the hero who saved everyone, they simply left.

Many people were furious.

They all glared angrily at the fat man with the bowl cut.

"Foolish thing!"

"It's all his fault!"

"Yeah, otherwise I could have gotten an autograph from the new S-class hero!"

"Damn it... are those heroes risking their lives for your paltry sum of money?!"

"Didn't you say anyone could work hard?!"

"Alright, alright, let's all pool our money and make him fight to the death next time he encounters a weirdo!"

"Do you dare?!"

"..."

For a time, everyone was criticizing the fat man with the bowl cut.

Some people, in a fit of rage, even kicked him.

Caught off guard, the fat man with the bowl cut was kicked to the ground.

He kept shouting and yelling.

......

at the same time.

City G.

Inside a building with a sense of history.

The old woman, dressed as a shrine maiden, was trembling all over.

She looked at the crystal ball in front of her and let out a strange cry.

After a long silence, the young man behind her asked in a deep voice:

"Lord Xibabawa, what exactly happened?"

The great prophet, Xibabawa, ignored him.

Instead, she murmured softly, "It's...it's coming..."

"Lord Shibabawa?!"

"A terrible catastrophe is approaching! Ah—!!!"

"The end of the world... Earth... Earth is doomed!!"

......

The next day.

Naruto was petting the kitten.

Genos suddenly brought back a package.

Saitama went over to investigate out of curiosity.

The two opened it and found it was a letter.

"Naruto, there are many of your letters here."

Naruto glanced back.

The letters read: "[S-Rank Hero - Naruto Uzumaki - Acceptance]"

Saitama hurriedly searched for his own belongings in the package.

After flipping through them, I found that nine-tenths of them belonged to Naruto, and one-tenth belonged to Genos.

Hmm... As for Saitama, who ranked seventh in B-class, he only received one letter.

Naruto casually opened a letter.

I noticed the envelope was a pretty pink one.

It also included a photo.

She is a very pretty little girl.

【Naruto Uzumaki ❥(^_-)】

I'm your fan!

I've been cheering for you ever since I first saw you!

【...】

After glancing at it, Naruto opened another letter.

This one also includes a photo.

Looking at the sexy blonde woman in the photo.

Good heavens, it was the same one from yesterday.

Hmm...it even came with an address and a key...

Although most of the content is the same.

But Naruto still read each letter carefully, one by one.

The last letter was from the Hero Association.

Hero ranked S-class, number thirteenth!

......

night.

"Hmm~"

"It tastes pretty good!"

"Shall we go take a look?"

Saitama spoke, giving Naruto and Genos no chance to refuse.

They took him directly to a small shop by the roadside.

Once inside, I discovered that there were other people inside.

It's an oden (Japanese stew) restaurant.

The boss is an elderly man who is over fifty years old.

Welcome!

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

"A platter, please!" Saitama called out softly.

A guest with bandages wrapped around his neck whispered:

"Won't you drink something?"

The three of them turned around to look.

Then the bespectacled man, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, said again:

"If you're not going to have anything to drink, let me treat you."

"Why?" Saitama asked, puzzled.

But in that person's eyes, Naruto's image was reflected.

Outside the small shop, a bicycle was parked quietly.
