Naruto turned around, smiled, and patted Mumen Rider's shoulder: "Don't say that, everyone is working hard. Let's go, they still need help over there."
The next moment, he formed hand seals.
"Wood Release: Four-Pillar House Technique!"
A majestic surge of life energy poured into the earth, and amidst the ruins and cracks, temporary dwellings made of sturdy wood rose from the ground at an astonishing speed.
The disaster victims were first terrified, then overjoyed and grateful.
"It's Naruto, the number one S-Class Hero!"
"He's building houses for us!"
Naruto didn't stop. His figure flickered, and he reappeared above the giant, abyss-like maw of a hole.
The Monster Association had been hidden underground.
Later, the Monster King's Gaia Cannon directly destroyed the Monster Association's base along with the entire Z-City, forming the bottomless abyss-like sinkhole that now existed.
Fortunately, Z-City was originally an uninhabited area. Saitama had lived there, but after Naruto moved Saitama out, Z-City was completely empty.
Otherwise, who knows how many people would have died in this battle.
"Since it was destroyed by battle, let's rebuild it with power."
Naruto took a deep breath, slowly brought his hands together in front of his chest, and simply formed a single hand seal.
Instantly, a boundless amount of Chakra shot skyward, causing the winds and clouds to change color. Even the Hero Association Headquarters in A-City detected the terrifying energy concentration.
"That's—Lord Naruto's direction!" A staff member exclaimed.
High in the sky, beyond the atmosphere, the barrier of space was forcibly torn apart!
One, two, three—a total of thirty colossal, flaming meteors broke free from gravity's embrace, bringing with them a power that could crush everything, slowly falling towards Earth, towards the abyss of Z-City!
"Ultra-Great Orb of Destruction!"
Unlike Uchiha Madara's Great Orb of Destruction, which only had two meteors, Naruto directly summoned thirty meteors.
Moreover, the smallest meteor was even larger than the largest meteor in Uchiha Madara's version of the Great Orb of Destruction.
Unlike Uchiha Madara, who used it to destroy the Ninja Allied Forces in the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto's Great Orb of Destruction was not for destruction, but for creation!
It was a god-like power, used to mend the scarred earth!
Global observation equipment captured this terrifying scene.
Thirty meteors, each with a diameter comparable to a mountain, lined up, precisely and irresistibly falling towards the enormous abyss!
"What—what is he trying to do?!"
"Is he trying to completely destroy this place?!"
Under the terrified and bewildered gazes of countless people, the first meteor, carrying immense force, slammed into the very bottom of the abyss with a thunderous roar!
"Boom!"
The earth shook and the mountains trembled!
It was as if the entire continental plate was wailing.
The immense impact caused the rock walls around the abyss to collapse again, but the meteor's massive volume also solidly raised the bottomless pit of the abyss by several thousand meters!
Immediately after, the second meteor fell, precisely stacking on top of the first!
Then came the third!
The fourth—
The fifth—
When the dust slowly settled, everyone was dumbfounded.
The enormous abyss that had swallowed everything was gone.
In its place was an incredibly spectacular, dark brown rocky plain, formed by thirty perfectly interlocking giant meteors, rising above the surrounding ground level!
The surface of the meteors still bore traces of impact and the charred color from burning, emitting ancient and powerful energy ripples, as if silently proclaiming the creator's might.
This newly formed "Meteorite Plain" became the most awe-inspiring monument to Z-City's past existence.
"Using meteors—to fill an abyss—" In the distance, Child Emperor, who witnessed this scene via drone, didn't even notice his lollipop falling to the ground. "Is this truly—within one's capabilities?"
"Naruto—"
Tatsumaki hovered in the air, looking at the brand new plain, her small face becoming extremely solemn.
She still had an unfinished battle with Naruto.
Especially after Naruto surpassed her and Blast, leaping to become the number one S-Class Hero, her fighting spirit and indignation reached their peak. She immediately flew above Z-City and then witnessed Naruto filling the Z-City sinkhole with the Ultra-Great Orb of Destruction.
Now, Tatsumaki no longer had any thoughts of challenging Naruto.
This absolute control over power had already exceeded the scope of her understanding.
With Tatsumaki's extremely powerful psychic abilities, let alone blocking Madara's Great Orb of Destruction, she wouldn't even fear a few more Madaras, but thirty meteors, even she couldn't withstand them.
Hero Association Headquarters.
The S-Class Heroes who had moved to the headquarters also saw this scene through satellite footage.
In the training room, Superalloy Darkshine, who was lifting weights, felt all his muscles tremble with excitement: "Too—too strong! This is the ultimate physique! I must work even harder!"
Flashy Flash wiped his beloved sword, "Instant Kill," his eyes sharp: "Naruto—interesting. One day, I will let you witness my 'Flash Style' secret technique."
Atomic Samurai, with a toothpick in his mouth, watched his disciples practice, his brows tightly furrowed: "Iaido—what is its meaning in the face of such power?"
For the first time, he had profound doubts about his swordsmanship.
However, the reactions of the S-Class Heroes were already meaningless to Naruto.
His only goal left in the One-Punch World was God.
Besides that, there was no longer any need to stay in the One-Punch World.
Naruto wanted to find power that could rival God, to make himself even stronger!
Land of Fire, Konoha Village.
The familiar Hokage Rock came into view, and the air was filled with a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
Naruto's expression shifted, and he appeared directly in the Hokage's office.
"Naruto! You're back!" Tsunade, who was reviewing documents, looked up, her visible eye showing a hint of fatigue and solemnity. "You've returned just in time, something has happened."
"What's wrong, Sister Tsunade?"
Naruto noticed that besides him, Kurenai Yuhi, Ino Yamanaka, and Hinata Hyuga were also present.
It was a Shadow Clone that, after dispelling, sent its memories back, notifying Naruto's main body to return.
"The situation is urgent." Tsunade's voice was decisive. "Four major Ninja Villages—Cloud, Stone, Mist, and Sand—each had an elite Ninja with a unique Bloodline Limit disappear successively within the past 48 hours. This is no mere coincidence."
"Bloodline Limit?" Naruto's expression remained unchanged, but he raised an eyebrow slightly.
This plot—it felt a bit familiar.
"That's right." Kurenai Yuhi interjected. As Team 7's captain, she had already learned the intelligence in advance. "They are the inheritors of Storm Release, Dark Release, Swift Release, and Steel Release, respectively. They all vanished into thin air from their own Villages, under strict protection, with almost no traces of battle left at the scene."
Ino's face showed worry: "To be able to do that, the enemy must be incredibly terrifying—"
Hinata activated her Byakugan, scanning outside the window, and softly added: "And, their objective is very clear, targeting only specific Bloodline Limits."
