The bespectacled man realized that people around him were looking at him with displeasure, he felt he had misspoken. He coughed lightly and said: "I've sent people to strictly monitor the Sacred Ruins Trial Tower. As soon as the trial ends and Gin appears, Saitama-kun and all of you must immediately act to take him away!"
Not just the main forces from these three worlds. Even other hidden powers, including other villages in the Naruto world, had sent people toward City J in the One Punch Man world. They all wanted to fight over the ownership rights to Gin. After all, in this scramble of many parties, who knew they might gain benefits.
Days passed one by one, and before long, the seven-day time limit had arrived.
The Sacred Ruins Trial Tower let out a humming and vibrating sound. Around the tower radiated blue light rings that shook souls. The tower doors from the first to ninth floors opened simultaneously with loud booming sounds.
Pillars of light shot out. Along with the disappearance of that light, the figures of trial participants appeared at the coast edge. Some felt relieved, some had fierce-looking faces, and some looked regretful; their expressions were varied.
[The seven-day time limit has arrived, the second trial ends.]
[The Sacred Ruins Trial Tower will seek another place to open the third trial.]
That mysterious voice echoed between heaven and earth. The giant tower connecting heaven and earth began shaking violently. Along with the increasingly strong shaking, the entire pagoda suddenly detached from the sea surface and shot into the sky with a sharp whooshing sound. Although its size was very large, its speed was truly extraordinarily fast; in the blink of an eye, the tower had disappeared without a trace.
No one could even see which direction the tower went.
Gin also appeared on the beach sand. Beside him was a giant jar half a person's height, containing Senzu Beans from the Dragon Ball world on the seventh floor.
"Finally out... a bit regrettable, on the ninth floor I actually already found an opportunity to complete the mission, but there wasn't enough time..." Gin felt slightly regretful, but his face was full of joy.
This time he obtained very abundant results. Not only did his strength increase terrifyingly and he learned extraordinary training methods, he also obtained Senzu Beans that could resurrect the dead and restore bones. From now on, he didn't need to worry about starvation anymore.
He remembered again his difficult times at the Baratie Floating Restaurant; if it weren't for that Curly Brow (Sanji), he might have already starved to death.
"I must find an opportunity to repay his kindness!" Gin was someone who would repay grudges and repay kindness, he never forgot that.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. He sensed strong Ki coming from various different directions. He had understood the "Ki" concept from the Dragon Ball world, so he could judge opponents' strength through the strength or weakness of their Ki. And this Ki was approaching very quickly toward the coast.
"Who are they?" Gin was slightly shocked.
Not just him, other people who survived also realized this strangeness. Visible in the distance, several groups of people were running quickly toward here, as if their target was them.
"Could it be..." Nara Haba, who was also in the crowd, his eyes gleamed with doubt. He had broken through the trial and obtained rewards; could these people be coming to seize his fortune?
It should be remembered that they didn't have a protection period like people who made it onto the Dragon List. If there were experts who wanted to kill him, he might not be able to escape. However, he immediately felt calm because he saw a group of people approaching, with their leader running so fast that his Hokage robe fluttered in the wind.
That was the Second Hokage, Tobirama. Behind him were many experts from Konoha Village: Third Hokage Hiruzen, Jiraiya the Pervy Sage, Kakashi, Guy, as well as Danzo and a group of masked Anbu members.
"Is this to pick me up? Because they're afraid I'm in danger?" Although Haba had extraordinary intelligence and was very calm beyond his peers, he was still an immature young man.
Seeing people from his village valuing him so much that the Second and Third Hokage personally came down to pick him up, he felt very flattered.
"Hokage-sama!" Haba's body gleamed, mysteriously he transformed into a black shadow on the ground that slithered like a snake, and immediately appeared before Tobirama and the others.
Tobirama's group stopped because they were blocked. Hiruzen looked at Haba and nodded slightly: "Good work!"
While saying so, he patted Haba's shoulder, then shot past him just like that.
While Tobirama only glanced at him briefly, then directly dodged to the side to continue running forward. The other group members also immediately followed.
"???" Haba was full of question marks.
What's the meaning? Didn't they come to pick him up? He felt confused.
After all, he was inside the Trial Tower and absolutely didn't know what happened on other floors. He didn't know that there was someone who obtained fortune far greater than his. Compared to Gin, what he obtained was nothing. Godhood Fragment? Perhaps great, but before being fully assembled, that item didn't show extraordinary power, so it didn't attract much attention.
This incident didn't just happen to Haba. At other factions it was the same; people from the Pirate world who were lucky to pass or survive thought Sengoku and the others came to welcome their victory with emotion. But it turned out, those top officials didn't even glance at them and directly passed them, leaving extraordinary shock.
At this time, Gin who was standing in his original place felt his hair stand on end. He finally realized that all these people were actually targeting him. The leaders of these groups weren't unfamiliar faces to him. All were figures on the Strongest List, even several made the top ten. What did these people want with him?!
He suddenly looked toward the jar beside him. His eyes gleamed, he immediately bent down, and the aura in his entire body surged to a terrifying level. His short black hair lengthened rapidly and changed to golden color.
Super Saiyan!
Instantly, in his palm gathered blazing golden light. He aimed it at the jar beside him and shouted loudly: "Stop right there everyone, or I'll destroy everything inside here!"
This action shocked everyone. Sengoku, Tobirama, and Saitama—the group leaders—simultaneously stopped their steps and raised hands to halt their forces' advance.
"Little brother, we have no ill intentions, we just came to congratulate you," Kizaru said while pursing his lips and chuckling.
Gin glanced sharply at these big figures. He felt this time was the peak in his life; to be surrounded by so many great figures was the most glorious moment. However clearly, these people's purpose wasn't pure.
Gin laughed coldly: "You all don't even care about the people you brought yourselves and directly swarmed me. This truly flatters me. I'm sure when we participated in the trial, the outside world broadcast live again. You all must have already seen the treasure I obtained, right? You all very much want these Senzu Beans, don't you?"
