The Real Battle Has Only Just Begun

At the sound of something shattering.

Everyone from Konoha immediately turned to look.

The barrier that had originally enveloped the surroundings shattered at that moment, breaking into fragments of light that scattered outward.

"How is that possible?!" Kushina stared at the shattered barrier in the distance in disbelief.

As the creator of this barrier, she knew full well how stable it was.

Even an avatar would not be able to break through it so easily.

Unless it was... one of the Six Paths.

"Ah, where is this?"

A bald man in yellow clothes had appeared atop the iron sphere wrapped in chains at some unknown point.

Countless chains converged into a massive black sphere. No matter how the people inside tried to escape, they could not break through even a single layer of it.

Saitama stood atop the black sphere.

He scratched his head as he looked at Kushina and Tsunade above him. "Have you seen Hero Association headquarters? I got lost."

But he remembered that Hero Association headquarters had been here. Why was there only one huge black ball left?

Tsunade stared at Saitama with a grave expression.

"Kushina, be careful. This guy is strong."

She still remembered how, when they had been about to test King, this man had suddenly appeared and severely wounded her with one punch.

If he had not held back, she was not even sure how badly she would have been injured.

As for death—

Even if only a tiny piece of her body remained, she could fully recover.

"Did the Hero Association send you as reinforcements?" Tsunade asked Saitama solemnly.

"Are you Blast?"

He was the only person she could think of—the number one hero, beyond even S-Class heroes, and the second person to reach that level.

"Huh?" Saitama scratched his head awkwardly.
