Three days later.
Thousand-Star Archipelago, Island No. 777.
Hattori leaned idly against a coconut tree, gulping down coconut water.
He looked thoroughly baffled.
"Why isn't anyone coming? It was so lively the first two days. Where is everyone now? Don't they want to advance?" Hattori gazed at the empty sea and the desolate island behind him.
He sighed deeply.
The story started three days ago.
...
"You in this group are assigned to Island No. 777. Remember, no attacking each other before landing." On the massive transport helicopter, hundreds of participants nodded silently.
Hattori, mixed among them without a word, leaped out of the helicopter.
"Wait! You don't have your..." The referee stared in shock at his retreating back, holding a parachute pack.
The other several hundred participants also widened their eyes in astonishment.
They were at ten thousand meters.
To jump without a parachute, falling straight down...
"This guy is either an idiot or a god," A calm-looking elite wearing high-tech glasses said.
By landing without a parachute, Hattori instantly became famous on Island No. 777.
Some challengers came seeking him out, while others, more cautious, avoided him.
For the first two days, Hattori fought almost every hour.
After all, each island in the Thousand-Star Archipelago was only about a kilometer in radius.
With hundreds of participants landing, spotting targets was easy.
However, after Hattori eliminated over a hundred people, the situation gradually became strange.
"That guy is terrifying. His Wood-type ability must be at the King level."
"It's not just Wood-type. Some saw him use Lightning and Fire abilities too, all at least Diamond rank or above."
"I've never heard of him before. Who exactly is he?"
"A hidden cultivator, probably. Among tens of millions of Espers globally, there are countless unregistered Espers. He might be a secret trump card raised by some family."
"It's better to leave and try our luck on another island."
Everyone avoided Hattori, fearful and wary.
The Thousand-Star Archipelago had over a thousand islands, so the slots weren't that scarce.
Rather than staying here, scheming and fighting against an unbeatable powerhouse, it was better to leave early and try their luck elsewhere.
Hence, the current situation.
"So boring. Is this the loneliness of being invincible?" Hattori looked out at the blue sea and shouted.
'I just showed off a little at the start, accidentally used Wood Release: Wood Human Technique and created a giant over a hundred meters tall, and accidentally swatted away a few Diamond-rank Espers.'
'Was that any reason to be so cowardly?'
He had also toned it down afterwards, only using the basic Five Element Ninjutsu from the system, playing it straight.
"Ah, as expected, going out just means changing locations to play on the phone. Whatever, let's see if the sillies in the group have any new news." Leaning against the coconut tree, enjoying the sea breeze, Hattori opened the group chat.
He posted his usual check-in.
[Dark Group Owner: @everyone, pop in and say hi. Your brilliant and mighty Group Owner is very bored.]
[The Dead-Last Jinchuriki: No thanks. Currently in Otogakure, digging up graves. Going dark.]
[Second Pillar Thinks He Can Do It: No thanks. Currently in Amegakure, tailing Konan. Going dark.]
[The Young Master of the Demonic Cult: No thanks. Currently at the Demonic Cult, preparing to deal with the Seven Heroes. Conflict of interest. Going dark.]
[This Queen Is So Beautiful: No thanks. Currently in the Kuja Kingdom, hunting Sea Kings. Going dark.]
[The Strongest Assassin of Xuanwu: Not thanking, no reason, going dark. Just forcefully lurking.]
[Dark Group Owner: …]
'These sillies were trying to kill me with anger!'
[The Nap-Loving Sharpshooter: Um... Group Owner, are you really that bored over there?]
[Dark Group Owner: Yeah, bored to death. I can't even see a single soul.]
[The Nap-Loving Sharpshooter: Group Owner, I just learned how to use the red packet function in this group. Should I send you a tool? You can use it to kill time.]
Seeing the message, Hattori slapped his thigh.
'Genius!'
'I hadn't even asked, and Nobita was already offering warmth.'
'Truly the best group friend… everyone should really learn from him.'
[Dark Group Owner: Great, great! Send any one over.]
[The Nap-Loving Sharpshooter: Sent a red packet.]
Hattori lightly clicked the red packet. A high-tech-looking TV, accompanied by a miniature rocket, appeared before him.
[The Nap-Loving Sharpshooter: Group Owner, this tool is called the Anywhere TV. I fiddled with it for a long but couldn't figure out how it works. But since it's a TV, it should help kill time, right? Hehe.]
Several black lines instantly appeared on Hattori's forehead.
'Nobita was still Nobita, the same stingy, selfish guy.'
'Even when sending a red packet, he picked a tool he couldn't use himself, so he lost nothing.'
"However, even if you can't use it, it's a pretty neat toy for me." A smile curled on Hattori's lips.
The Anywhere TV could use the launched miniature rocket to scout all scenes within its range.
The most overpowering part was, the Anywhere TV could clearly display all details, zoom in or out arbitrarily without any distortion.
'Well, since I had nothing else to do...'
'Let's see if there are any interesting characters on the other islands.'
