Konoha's Mission Master

After hearing the answer, Tornado's eyes lit up with curiosity.

“Jenos believes you are a savior who can create miracles. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I’m starting to believe it.”

"I don't believe I'm a savior either."

Yakumo was stunned, completely unaware that he held such a high opinion of Genos.

"Who knows?"

Tornado asked a question that seemed to have no other purpose than to turn into a green light and disappear from the spot.

Yakumo rubbed the web of his right hand, completely bewildered.

Not long after, Genos descended from the sky.

Under his leadership, the group found the restaurant. It turned out that the building was essentially a community, and six floors within the building were responsible for supplying food.

After this meeting, Yakumo noticed that Genos had become much more enthusiastic towards him, even showing signs of becoming a bit of a sycophant, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Guided by Genos, the three arrived at the Hero Association's restaurant and entered a private room that could accommodate more than a dozen people. The entire restaurant was filled with highly intelligent technology.

The three people only need to order food on the touch screen on the table, and a robot will deliver the food to the private room. During the process, a dedicated robot will handle any calls they make.

Robots also clean up the dishes after meals.

Yakumo learned from a simple inquiry that only this restaurant had this feature of robots and self-service ordering, and that it was Dr. Kusno's property.

These robots are merely collecting data and earning money by replacing parts, while Dr. Kusno's goal is to create an S-class intelligent combat robot.

Masako Mori found it novel and even wanted to try disassembling it herself.

Yakumo immediately spoke up to stop him.

Although the food at this restaurant is delicious, Masako Mori prefers ice cream, especially the strawberry and blueberry flavors.

Yakumo could feel the somewhat glaring sunlight through the glass. In fact, the glass was comparable to steel in strength, but unfortunately, its light-blocking ability was a concern.

Upon suddenly returning to the human city, those memories that had been suppressed in his heart resurfaced, adding a touch of nostalgia to his eyes.

He could see that Genos was hesitant to speak, and he could roughly guess what Genos was about to say.

After dismissing the robot, Genos slowly began to speak.

"This world was originally a wonderful place, but the appearance of the monsters destroyed everything. The established rules were broken, and humanity lost its position as the world's dominant species."

Genos approached Yakumo, followed his gaze to the distant blue sky, and continued speaking.

"Other heroes may have different ideas now, but my idea remains the same as it was fifteen years ago... I want to eliminate all monsters."

"After returning to City A, I proposed a plan to attack the three restricted areas. Currently... the majority of S-class heroes have chosen... not to support it."

"Of course, we still have one hope. Tornado has set a test for you. If you can pass it... you will get a crucial vote."

The three cities, X, Y, and Z, are led by the darkest level of god-level monsters, each capable of launching a devastating attack on the human world.

Therefore, cities X, Y, and Z were designated as the three forbidden areas.

Genos saw in Yakumo the hope of destroying the three forbidden zones. If the three forbidden zones could be successfully destroyed, humanity would have the confidence to take control of all the cities that had spiraled out of control in the future.

"Many people are now inseparable from the Angel King and the Dark King, and they will definitely try their best to stop your plan."

Yakumo shook his head. Whether it was the divine grace bestowed by the Angel King or the lifespan stolen by borrowing dark energy, it would create a bond of life and death between the user and the two monsters.

With less than ten days left until the mission's completion, Mori Masako and Yuuki Chiyuki have already reached their reward cap.

The number of battle points has also reached nearly three million.

He didn't want to continue working so hard for these last few days.

Of course... he can work overtime if there's no danger.

“I understand what you’re saying. Since we plan to attack the three forbidden zones, we naturally need to deal with the traitors within humanity first.”

"Along the way, Yakumo, you destroyed many of the strongholds of the Eternal Night Tower. Now, as long as we deal with the Holy Light Cult and the Void Society, we can ensure the safety of our rear for this operation."

Genos waved his hands, projecting a map from his eyes.

This is a map of the city currently managed by humans. Many red dots are marked on the map; these are probably those who have secretly sided with the three eccentrics.

“I spent twelve days identifying these scoundrels. As long as you can pass the tornado test, we can move on to the next plan.”

Genos's voice became very excited, and his eyes were full of expectation when he looked at Yakumo, but unfortunately Yakumo was destined to disappoint him.

A surprise attack... The three restricted areas are in great danger.

Internal conflicts within humanity are only one aspect.

The gap in top-tier combat power is what is truly difficult to bridge.

Humanity has only one tornado!

Actually, I wanted to refuse.

When Yakumo said those words, he could clearly see the light in Genos's eyes gradually disappearing until they became completely stagnant.

"Why would you refuse? You have no reason to... choose this option!"

Genos waved his hand, and the projected map disappeared. He then questioned Yakumo, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't you hate weirdos?"

"Don't you want weirdos to disappear completely?"

Chapter 388 The Truth from the Tornado's Mouth

When Genos realized he couldn't persuade Yakumo, he chose to remain silent. His face was broken, as if he had lost all hope, like a puppet whose spring had been wound up and gone.

Inside the restaurant, Masako Mori continued scooping ice cream with a wooden spoon, while Chiyuki Yuuki practiced her swordsmanship with her eyes closed, seeking a breakthrough.

Half an hour later, Yakumo got up, and Genos also left at that time.

A certain sweet-looking mechanical doll dressed in a maid outfit, with current technology it is possible to make the doll indistinguishable from a human, but ultimately it is just a pre-designed program.

According to Yakumo's analysis, this doll will take him to see Tatsumaki.

No matter where she leads the group to the Hero Association, the destination will inevitably be Tatsumaki. Back when they had a brief meeting on the streets of City A, Yakumo sensed that Tatsumaki actually had something to say.

The Hero Association is now roughly divided into two parts.

S-class heroes lead the external battles, while councilors are responsible for governing the seven cities. However, the heroes are not in a good position right now, as the councilors are ambitious and trying to control the S-class heroes.

The advantage of legislators lies in their control over the majority of humanity and their ability to represent the thoughts of 90% of the world's population. Therefore, after several years of development, the voice of S-class heroes has gradually diminished.

However, the councilor dared not push the heroes too hard. Although S-class heroes were nothing special, the status of Tornado, the strongest human, was extremely extraordinary.

She is the goddess of war in the hearts of countless people.

Led by the mechanical doll, the group took the elevator to the top floor of the Hero Association. He needed to see Tatsumaki again and get the answer from her, no matter what.

In the blink of an eye, Yakumo and the others arrived at the top floor.

The space here is very empty, with marble floor tiles and a roof that is about ten meters high. There is a lamp every two meters on the roof, illuminating the entire space.

The platform feels empty and bare, devoid of any human decorations or furniture, resembling a giant cage rather than a human dwelling.

The Hero Association is the tallest building in City A, and from the top floor of this building, you can see the entire city through the glass, and looking up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds.

In the center of the platform, on a one-meter square cushion, Tatsumaki sat quietly cross-legged; it was she who had ordered Yakumo to be brought here.

"Please sit wherever you like. I don't have any outsiders coming here for a long time."

Tornado spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of detachment, lacking the playfulness and cuteness of her earlier words.

She is now more like the anchor of the seven human cities, having hunted down thirty god-level monsters in the past fifteen years.

Yakumo sat casually on the floor in front of Tatsumaki, while Mori Masako and Yuuki Chiyuki sat naturally behind him.

"Jenos said you're curious about the secrets of this world."

"That's right, you know?"

Yakumo did not hesitate.

"Of course, I am the only human who knows the truth."

Tornado nodded, her tone unchanged.

"I would like to know."

"Then let's wait."

After finishing speaking, Tornado closed her eyes.

The top floor space became quiet. Yakumo used his soul energy to observe the changes around him. With the tornado at its core, a huge barrier enveloped the entire city of A.

No, it's not just City A.

Yakumo silently stood up and went to the five-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window. Looking down into the distance, he finally realized that an incredibly huge barrier enveloped all seven human cities.

In other words... nothing that happened in these cities could be hidden from Tornado; it was all under her control.

She used to be strong, but she was also innocent and romantic, and always had a smile on her face. Now, she is like a weapon that cuts off all feelings and love, without a trace of vitality.

Has Hell Blizzard died?

Yakumo thought to herself that she had a twisted protective instinct towards Fubuki, and that was the only reason Tatsumaki's personality had changed into what it was today.

The elevator returned to the top floor silently, and the elevator doors quietly slid open. Genos stepped out of the elevator, wearing a blue shirt on his upper body and a tight-fitting gray tracksuit on his lower body.

"Alright, everyone's here." Tornado opened her eyes.

Genos sat to Yakumo's right, but his gaze no longer fell upon Yakumo. It seemed that... Yakumo's rejection had hit him hard.

"Today I will reveal the truth about what happened fifteen years ago."

Tornado spoke slowly, but her voice was all that could be heard on the vast platform, and everyone listened intently.

"Don't interrupt me before I finish speaking, Genos."

"Back then, the final battle."

"Saitama is facing off against the gods, and many powerful monsters have already been dealt with by humans."
