Naruto's Journey to Training

night.

A huge bonfire burned in the manor.

Sanji was busy at the grill next to him.

Tina and Enju were ultimately unable to escape Fubuki's clutches. They lay in Fubuki's broad arms, with their little faces constantly rubbed by her.

The two little lolis were also humming and moaning in enjoyment, which made Sanji, who was constantly turning the barbecue grill nearby, jealous. He also wanted to lie in the big sister's warm embrace and be kneaded and twisted.

Ace and Tornado were chatting casually about tomorrow's battle, while Sabo was pouring drinks for them.

As for Luffy, all he had in his eyes was meat. His bulging belly made people like Kuroko and others nearby afraid that he would explode if he ate more.

As for Zoro, he was discussing something about kendo with Atomic Samurai. When they got excited, both of them couldn't help but do some kendo with their hands.

"Solo, why is it that your Adventure Guild only has one A-level adventure group coming here now?"

Suppressing the urge to spar with Zoro immediately, Atomic Samurai began to ask about things that interested him.

His favorite thing now is to inquire about the intelligence of the empire, which contains countless new and interesting things that make him yearn for it.

Zoro, who was originally discussing kendo, suddenly paused, but when he saw Atomic Samurai's curious eyes, he still explained the reason.

"Speaking of this reason, we have to mention the ladder competition! It is the battle for the highest honor in our Adventure Guild, and it is also a battlefield between the strong.

Any adventure team that can reach the top of the 90th floor of the ladder island is one of the most powerful in the empire. Once they climb to the 99th floor and successfully defend the island, they will be awarded the highest honorary title of the Adventure Guild - Brave.

And he obtained an extremely powerful sword, the Sword of the Brave. It is said that there are five Swords of the Brave in total. It was the sword that His Majesty the Emperor used in his childhood.

Even though this is the sword that His Majesty used in his childhood, its power is extremely strong. It is no exaggeration to say that anyone who holds the Sword of the Brave, even an ordinary person, can have the world's top combat power. It also represents the birth of the highest honor of the empire."

"Oh! Then why don't you adventure group join in?"

Atomic Samurai became curious and asked in confusion.

Solo did not hide it, “The reason why we are called Super Star New is not because we are so powerful, but because among the younger generation, we are far superior to other adventure groups.

But there is a younger generation, and there is naturally an older generation. Among the many adventure groups, perhaps we can be considered the best among the younger generation, but among the older generation adventure groups, that is not the case!"

“So our leader brought us here when the new world was opened up. The new world means there are great opportunities.

If we can seize these opportunities first, then the strength of our adventure team members will definitely increase significantly. There will be no rush to participate in the ladder competition at that time. After all, there are still more than two years left.

It’s just that the veteran adventurers are either guarding the island or madly competing for rankings, which gives us new adventurers an opportunity to join the adventure group.”

After hearing Solo's explanation, Atomic Samurai gradually understood. No wonder the adventurer teams they saw were all so young. It turned out that those who came this time were not the main force of the Adventurer's Guild.

This couldn't help but make Atomic Samurai feel a little pressured. After all, the younger generation of the Adventurer's Guild was so powerful, so how strong could the older generation be?

The other S-class heroes who heard the conversation nearby were also silent for a while, but they were soon drowned in the enthusiasm of Ace and others.

At first, you and I drank the liquor in big gulps.

The next morning.

A ray of sunlight shines down.

Ace, who was in a daze, heard the manor door banging loudly.

I opened my eyes dazedly and felt something pressing on me. When I opened my eyes and looked over, I saw a green figure lying on my stomach and sleeping soundly.

It was obviously Tornado who had a hangover with him yesterday. At this moment, Tornado's face was flushed, her mouth was opening and closing, and she was drooling.

Shaking his dizzy head slightly and gently pushing Tornado away, Ace staggered to open the door of the manor.

At this time, next to a burnt-out bonfire, there were several other figures lying in a mess, but most of them were Sanji, who got drunker yesterday, and several strong S-class heroes.

As for the two little lolis, they were taken to the villa by Fubuki to rest early and did not stay here.

Ace suppressed the urge to vomit and finally arrived at the gate of the manor. As soon as he opened the gate, he saw seven or eight figures standing at the door.

One of the boys with golden hair raised a hand skillfully and greeted Ace.

"Ace, long time no see!"

"Ah! Naruto-senpai, why are you here so early!"

Ace's eyes showed a hint of joy.

"I just arrived in this world! I wanted to see Brother Yu, but I came here before I saw him. What's wrong with you? You look so unhappy!"

Ace scratched his head sheepishly, "I had a party with some friends from the Hero Association yesterday, and I accidentally went too far. You guys come in now!"

After saying that, Ace opened the door.

Naruto, Sasuke and a few others walked into the manor one after another. As soon as they came in, they saw figures lying on the ground in a mess.

"It seems we are a little late! We actually missed your party, Ace!"

Naruto said with some regret. Sasuke next to him still had a sour face. It was not because he was unhappy with Ace, but because he wanted to meet his elder brother after coming to the new world with great difficulty, but ended up with nothing. He was still full of resentment.

However, just as several people were communicating, a scream suddenly came from the manor villa.

Ace's face changed instantly and he rushed into the villa. He heard clearly that it was Enju's voice, and Naruto and others hurriedly followed when they saw this.

At this time, Tornado and others on the ground were also awakened by the scream. Looking at Ace's hurried footsteps, they rushed in as well.

When the group entered the villa, they saw a pale man lying in the spacious corridor, with a long sword inserted straight into his chest. Judging from the depth of the sword, it had obviously pierced his heart.

Next to him was Yanzhu, who had just gotten up in the morning to wash up. The little girl looked frightened, obviously scared by this scene.

"It's the corpse man!"

Tornado and the others who followed in all had their faces changed.

At this time, Fubuki, who came out anxiously following the exclamation, also gradually became serious in her expression. She gently stepped forward and put her hand on the zombie man's neck.

"There is no pulse or heartbeat. Judging from the degree of blood coagulation, it is obvious that an hour or two has passed since the assassination. Who on earth could have killed an S-class hero so easily? And we didn't even notice it!"

After saying that, Fubuki fell into deep thought. Ace was relieved to see that Enju was fine, and began to think about the same question.

At this time, Sasuke, who was following behind Naruto, opened his Sharingan and observed carefully.

"There are no suspicious footprints nearby. Hinata, open your Byakugan and see if there are any hidden figures around!"

However, just as Hinata was about to take action, a sudden cry was heard.

"This sword, if I'm not mistaken, looks a bit like mine!"

Atomic Samurai couldn't help but look at his waist, and sure enough, where the sword was originally inserted, there was only an empty scabbard left.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Hey, hey! No way, you don't suspect that I killed the zombie man!"

Atomic Samurai looked at everyone's suspicious eyes and immediately explained.

"I have no motive for committing a crime. Besides, I was drinking with Solo yesterday!"

"I can prove it!"

Solo immediately stood up and nodded.

Everyone withdrew their gazes when they saw this. It is true that the relationship between Atomic Samurai and Zombie Man was not very good, but it was not very bad either.

At this time, Hinata also began to open her Byakugan, looked around the villa, and finally shook her head at Naruto and Sasuke. "Besides us, there are no other outsiders here.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes became serious. If there was no outsider in the room, then there was only one possibility, that was someone inside their room.

Thinking of this, many heroes couldn't help but look at Ace. After all, he was the owner of this villa, and he had to give an explanation if something happened.

Ace saw the pressure on himself and his forehead began to frown. After all, it was he who invited people to the villa, but caused the death of an S-class hero in the hero team. This was no small matter.

However, just when everyone was silent, Tina, with a sleepy face, came out holding a furry little bear.

"Hey...what are you doing standing in the aisle? Are you playing some fun game?"

However, before she could finish her words, Fubuki covered her eyes. How could such a cruel scene be allowed to be seen by such a cute child?

However, Tina was not an ordinary little girl. She gently pried open Fubuki's fingers and saw clearly what was happening in the corridor through the gaps between her fingers.

"Hey... why is Uncle Zombie sleeping on the ground and can't get up? Is he playing Halloween?" Tina tilted her head.

Just when everyone didn't have the heart to tell Tina the truth.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter was heard.

"Ahahahaha...Little Tina didn't scare you!"

The zombie man who had been lying motionless on the ground slowly opened his eyes, pulled out the sword from his chest, and stood up as if nothing had happened.

"Hahaha, sorry everyone! I just wanted to play games with the cute Tina. I heard that Halloween in her hometown is coming soon, and people have to dress up as scary things on this day. This just hits my specialty. After all, this is what I am best at!"

The zombie man looked at the increasingly unfriendly gazes of the crowd and couldn't help but took a step back with a smile.

"You are really...too bad!"

Tornado couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Tina, whose reaction arc was a bit long, immediately acted as if she was frightened. Her silly and cute look immediately calmed the anger of the people present.

"Uncle Zombie, you are so scary. Tina was almost scared by you, but it's really a pleasant morning!"

……

After the farce, Ace began to introduce Naruto and his crew to Tornado and others.
