Heroes and Monsters

The moment the two bald men clashed, the gust of wind that rose up in a small area felt like sharp blades striking their faces.

Wounds kept appearing on Kaneki Ken's face, with blood and bits of flesh flying everywhere, but Reparo a speed visible to the naked eye.

"So strong..."

He sighed Youyou.

If it weren't for his strong self-healing ability, the aftershocks from their sparring match alone would probably have killed him.

With this thought in mind, Kaneki Ken slowly raised his head and re-examined Jiraiya.

He was already mentally prepared for Saitama's strength.

After all, it was a non-human being whose reputation was guaranteed by Senior Yan.

And Jiraiya...

In Kaneki Ken's memory, this lecherous bald man was always just an easy-going loan shark with a wide network of connections.

Now, Kaneki Ken is beginning to reflect on whether he has been too arrogant.

Any Reincarnator can navigate the Main God Space is no ordinary person.

"The top-tier Reincarnator are all monsters like this..."

Behind Kaneki Ken, Kayn's soft sigh could be heard.

Kayn originally thought that with the trump cards he had acquired after completing several Side Quest in the Assassin's Creed world, even if he couldn't defeat the top-tier Reincarnator, he would at least be able to protect himself.

It now seems that Jiraiya's speed is so great that it cannot even be detected by the naked eye or by his aura.

Even Saitama, whom he had always treated as a joke, seemed to possess fighting power far exceeding expectations.

The sense of superiority that the Reincarnator originally felt over the natives was suppressed.

Being low-key and humble definitely has its advantages.

In the Infinite Planes, you never know what kind of powerful natives you will encounter.

Seeing his teammates adjust their mindset, Kaneki Ken nodded almost imperceptibly.

He turned his head and refuted Saitama's judgment. "The negotiations did not break down; in fact... quite the opposite."

"Just a moment ago, we reached a consensus on cooperation."

As he spoke, Kaneki Ken walked past Saitama and slowly strolled up to Jiraiya: "So, the Legendary Sannin Team can't kill too many people in this mission?"

He chuckled, "Jiraiya- senpai is exactly like Naruto said... Because he felt victory was assured, he easily revealed important information to his opponent, which could easily lead to mission failure, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's face immediately turned blood red.

Indeed, he felt that his previous behavior was somewhat like that of a villain in a comic book, making him seem very stupid.

He didn't care about being looked down upon for his intelligence by his best friend Orochimaru, but he was worried about being looked down upon by Tsunade.

Although Tsunade spent most of her Reward Points and Destiny Gem on her two Guardian Spirit, Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju, she still managed to accumulate a considerable amount of wealth.

She has now resurrected her younger brother, Senju Nawaki, who died on the battlefield, but she has not resurrected Dan Katō.

Perhaps it was a psychological barrier, or perhaps there were other considerations; Jiraiya could not know.

He would not waste any opportunity.

Before Jiraiya could get angry, Kaneki Ken added, "From a combat strength perspective, we at least have the right to negotiate."

"Senior, there's no need to waste your energy trying to wipe us all out."

Having said that, Kaneki Ken, seeing that Jiraiya's eyes were still filled with anger, changed his tone and said, "Jiraiya- senpai, please make a rational choice."

"I heard that Lady Tsunade once said in the One Piece Plane that she hates brainless brutes the most. You wouldn't become that kind of person, would you?"

Jiraiya's face flushed red and then turned pale, before he coughed twice. "Of course, after all, I'm not some kind of demon, how could I possibly want to kill you all just because I'm angry? Hahahaha..."

Kaneki Ken's smile froze.

His face was slightly pale, and his lips were purplish-red.

He then took a deep breath and said, "Now, let's get down to business... You hand over the hostages, and we'll exchange them for important intelligence, how about that?"

"Important intelligence."

Jiraiya touched his bald head, pondering the other person's words.

The Xiao Bai opposite him, who was adopted as Kakashi Hatake's son, is much more reliable than Kakashi. He is calm and composed, and shouldn't be lying to him.

Just as Jiraiya was about to reach a verbal agreement with the other party, a hoarse, croaking voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"What kind of heroes are you? A true hero should be like me, the 'Justice Noble,' who would never compromise with or make deals with monsters!"

Everyone squinted and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

He was a young man about 1.85 meters tall, dressed in a kimono, with a samurai hairstyle and his forehead clean-shaven.

To be honest, apart from his unpleasant voice, this guy's appearance is quite deceptive.

Kaneki Ken had seen this person's information before.

It is said that the other party is a descendant of Toyotomi Hideyoshi from the Sengoku period, and has the bloodline of a daimyo, so he calls himself a nobleman.

Kaneki Ken tilted his head and thought for a moment, then gently cracked his left hand, which was folded behind his back.

Click.

"Clear."

Kayn, who had been eager to try, saw the temporary captain's signal and instantly disappeared into the ground, teleporting to the side of the "Justice Noble".

The sickle flashes, blood splatters across the sky!

The "hero" who was originally extremely aggressive and righteously deceiving the public has been cut in half and blocked.

Cutting in half at the waist was one of the cruelest punishments in ancient times.

A person who is cut in half at the waist will not die immediately.

Even an ordinary person with a strong will can survive for more than ten seconds after being cut in half at the waist.

The upper body of the Justice Noble fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere, startling the onlookers into screaming.

Kayn's blade is too fast.

The Justice Noble only felt a chill and a heat beneath him, and it took several seconds for the intense pain to bring him back to his senses.

"How... how dare you?"

He looked at Kayn in disbelief.

Aren't they worried about their reputation being completely ruined and their future destroyed?

In fact, Kayn is not afraid.

As a Reincarnator roams the Myriad Worlds, and who has no intention of developing in this plane for long, what is there to fear about a bad reputation?

However, some superficial efforts are still necessary.

Kayn brandished his scythe, shook off the blood from his weapon, and said loudly, "Our 'Inspection Team' has another duty besides eliminating monsters—to clean house for the Hero Association and deal with those opportunists who try to take shortcuts."

This is not just White Fang talk.

Wang Yan did indeed grant them the relevant rights.

After all, the Hero Association has developed too quickly, resulting in a mixed bag of characters.

As the saying goes, "A large forest has all kinds of birds," and the association is no exception, with its share of morally corrupt individuals who always try to climb over their colleagues to get ahead.

The high-profile announcement of the Inspection Team's existence can have a significant deterrent effect.

The poor "Justice Noble," who was actually quite strong, was still crawling on the ground after being cut in half at the waist, trying to find his lower body back while howling and screaming in agony.

The people at the scene were terrified and fell silent.

The keyboard warriors on the internet are too scared to type now.

Where exactly is the line between a ruthless hero and a monster?

No one stepped forward to explain the definition.

Fear gnawed at their Mind Stone.

The agonizing screams of those being cut in half at the waist greatly displeased Jiraiya.

He threw a punch from a distance, smashing the opponent's body with the force of the blow, before turning his head to ask Kaneki Ken, "Alright, what information do you have?"

As he spoke, Jiraiya waved his hand, signaling his modified monsters to release the hostages.

How the hostages who escaped behaved is irrelevant to the overall situation.

People around the world watching the live stream are quietly waiting for Kaneki Ken's answer.
