A convenience store opened in Naruto

After Saitama returned home, he first cleaned the house inside and out, preparing to welcome the shop owner mentioned by No. 1.

He heard that some bosses would check the identity background of their employees to avoid encountering fugitives or the like. Besides, with monsters rampant in the world now, Saitama thought it was very reasonable.

What if a monster sneaks into the company and wreaks havoc?

In his excitement, he ignored the possibility that the investigator came to his door voluntarily and the person who opened the door happened to be a monster.

After cleaning, Saitama took another shower, found the work clothes he wore to work three years ago from the closet, washed them, and hung them up to dry.

Feeling anxious, Saitama tossed and turned in bed until the second half of the night when he finally fell asleep.

The next day, Saitama got up early for the first time in his life, put on his clothes that had become dry after being dried in the sun overnight, and went out happily.

"what?"

When Saitama arrived at the place he was at yesterday, he was a little dumbfounded.

"Where's my door? No, where's my shop?"

There were no doors or shops in the alleys. Some looked like demolished streets, with rubble and bricks everywhere.

The place had already become a ruin, and Saitama's eyes turned red in an instant.

"Who did it?"

Angry roars resounded through the sky.

Looking around, Saitama didn't see any human habitation, as if this place had become a ghost town just like where he lived.

"Ah~"

The huge sound turned into terrifying sound waves, and circles of ripples visible to the naked eye swept in all directions.

After venting his anger, Saitama gradually calmed down.

"No, they will be fine. He is more powerful than me, how could he be in trouble? I must have found the wrong place, yes, I must have found the wrong place!"

Comforting himself, Saitama's figure turned into lightning and he ran quickly.

The sun gradually set, and at dusk, Saitama dragged his tired body and appeared on the street in front of his home.

He spent the whole day running to every corner of the earth. He went to every city and populated place, but he still couldn't find the familiar door.

This inevitably made him feel a little disappointed.

'Is this a dream?'

Yes, it must be my own dream. Because I longed for an opponent, many masters appeared. Because I had no hair, I found a solution to baldness. Because I had no money, ways to make money also appeared in front of me.

What is this called, what you think about during the day you dream about at night?

"Is there anyone still living here?"

Saitama was stunned when walking on the familiar street. He couldn't remember where he lived. There was no one else besides himself.

This is a ghost town, a real ghost town. From the moment the monster descended three years ago, the population of this city has been gradually lost. Now, only Saitama lives here.

Not having money to rent a house is one of the reasons why Saitama didn't move out.

Of course, the biggest reason is that everything here, including water, electricity, and the internet, is complete, and most importantly, it’s all free!

Quietness is the biggest feature here.

Saitama, a man of great skill and courage, is not afraid of encountering danger living here alone, and having to go to other cities to buy food is not a problem for him.

Being fast means you can do whatever you want.

But today, a "guest" came to the ghost town!

"Dangdangdang", Saitama knocked on the door.

He didn't want to drive people away, but he felt it necessary to remind his neighbors of the dangers of ghost towns.

Ghost town, ghost town, he is the only person there, but all kinds of weird people keep appearing.

If you don't have the ability, living here would be very dangerous.

After knocking several times, there was still no response. Saitama put his ear to the door but heard no sound from inside the house.

"Squeak!"

The door couldn't support Saitama's weight and opened automatically.

Saitama was caught off guard and stumbled, falling into the house involuntarily.

"I'm sorry, I'm not..."

Saitama was about to apologize, but when he looked up, he found himself in a familiar place.

There were several doors in a row, and a single door formed a corner with the word "Exit" written in large letters on it.

"Ha ha!"

Saitama was overjoyed and kept repeating "Found it, found it" to his heart.

No wonder it wasn’t available anywhere else, it turned out I had found the wrong place, the convenience store door was so close to my home!

I was wondering, how dare someone live here? Turns out he’s a master who can defeat me, no wonder.

Walking towards the exit, after opening it, there was still a vast warehouse.

When he got here, Saitama knew which way to go.

……

In the living room on the second floor, Naruto was listless and curled up on the sofa, playing boring games.

"Humph, you're not taking me with you!"

A group left in the morning, and not long after, people from the Akatsuki organization also went there. Naruto also wanted to go, but was stopped.

There is an invisible force at the gate of the pirate world that prevents him from entering.

Everyone else had gone to practice, and no one was there to accompany him, making him feel lonely for the first time in a long time.

Business downstairs was booming. When Number One was fooling Saitama, they were all there, but Saitama couldn't see it.

The information revealed in their conversation gave the Twelve Little Strongmen and others an inexplicable sense of urgency.

'Another world is about to open up!'

Number One said that Ye Feng would definitely sign Saitama, and they had no doubt about it.

When Saitama wanted to go on the ring, Number One's first reaction was not to refuse, but to say that Saitama was not qualified.

This qualification does not mean the qualification to challenge, but it is indeed as No. 1 said, this is a gathering of employees between branches. At most, the number of people is a little larger, but it has not deviated from the category of internal staff.

This also indirectly shows that No. 1 believes Saitama is strong enough to enter the ring.

Although everyone can go on the ring without worrying about life-threatening situations, the main thing is that losing is embarrassing. Some people with lower strength and self-awareness will naturally not go up, but will calmly sit as an audience and make fun of those who have lost.

A strange world and strange strong men forced the twelve brave warriors who were preparing to participate in the second martial arts competition to be extremely alert.

'The scope of embarrassment has expanded again!'

In order to avoid embarrassing themselves, the twelve young warriors went back to catch up on their sleep, hoping to be in better condition during their nighttime training.

Naruto couldn't fall asleep even though he wanted to. He was full of energy to begin with, and Kurama took some kind of medicine and started practicing madly, which made him even more energetic.

Not to mention not sleeping for one day, even if he didn't sleep for eight or ten days, he wouldn't feel tired at all.

"Ahaha, here I come again, Manager!"

The place where you came out changed again?

When he went out yesterday, it was Number One who brought him out, and when he went back, it was Number One who sent him back. In the rush going back and forth, Saitama didn't pay any attention to the surrounding environment at all.

Only then did I realize that outside the warehouse on the second floor, there was such a warm environment, decorated just like home.

Living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a balcony?

'This staff dormitory is great!'

Saitama thought that since the staff dormitories were so nice, the treatment of the employees must not be too bad.

Since he has decided to work here, Saitama naturally hopes that the working atmosphere will not be so tiring. He is afraid that he, who has not worked for several years, will not be able to adapt to a too depressing environment.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Saitama always feels that the store manager today is not as handsome as the one he met yesterday.

Saitama's sudden appearance startled Naruto. Seeing some confusion in Saitama's eyes, Naruto quickly sat up straight and pretended to speak in the tone of No. 1: "Do you think I have changed?"

Saitama nodded.

"Normal!" Naruto pretended to be No. 1 and said, "Didn't I tell you that you should pay attention to your personal issues when you are at work, but now it's time to get off work, so you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable."

"Come on, sit down!"

Patting the sofa, Naruto said with a smile: "We will become colleagues sooner or later, so there is no need to be so polite. Just treat it as your own home when you come here, and be casual!"

Saitama was not polite and sat down on the sofa: "Is the boss back today?"

Is it so direct?

today?

Naruto's mind raced, and he casually said, "The boss hasn't come back yet, but if you are really interested in the martial arts tournament, you might as well take advantage of these few days to rest and don't be so excited that you can't sleep for a few days."

"I see you're covered in dust. Did you not get enough rest last time you went back?"

"Hehehe!" Saitama touched his smooth head and smiled sheepishly, "I was so excited when I got home yesterday that I didn't fall asleep until late at night."

yesterday?

Only one day has passed, there’s still time!

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, he thought several days had passed in Saitama's world.

'It should be because he is not an employee of the store yet, which caused the uncle's time synchronization to not be synchronized to his world.'

"In this case, I will have to buy some time, but..."

Naruto was afraid that it would take too long, and when Saitama returned, he found something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "You can bring friends to watch the martial arts tournament. How many people do you plan to bring so I can count them?"

"Uh……"

Saitama touched his chin with one hand, raised his head slightly, and turned his eyes up to reveal a large area of ​​white.

It was a typical thinking pattern, and Naruto did not urge him. After just a few words of conversation, he could see that Saitama's mind was very straightforward, without any twists and turns.

It is easiest to get answers from this kind of person. Often you just need to start by asking him the question, and he will tell you the information you want to know.

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, Saitama said: "I don't have any friends. No one has come to where I live for a long time!"

"How is that possible?" Naruto said in an exaggerated tone. "No matter how remote you live, there are people on the street. If you say hello, you can be considered a familiar stranger. Even if you are not a friend, you can still chat with them. You can bring them here."

"No!" Saitama scratched his head in distress, "Where I live is a ghost town, I'm all alone, I haven't interacted with the outside world for a long time."

Daily practice took up almost all of his time. Except for going out to buy food, Saitama had not had normal communication with people outside for a long time.

When buying food, there are also short conversations like "How much?" and "I don't want this."

After three years of training, he felt that he had regressed a lot, at least in terms of dealing with people, he was obviously not as good as when he was still working.

'Ghost town?'

Naruto shuddered. He was most afraid of things like ghosts.

Naruto forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart, his face turned pale and he said, "It's not necessary to bring anyone to the tournament. I just feel that it's a pity that there are so many delicious foods that I can't share with people I know well."

"Are you feeling unwell?" Saitama asked with concern when he saw Naruto's body trembling slightly.

"Naruto" is his only acquaintance here, and he will become a colleague in the future. Saitama feels that he needs to pay attention to the physical health of his colleague.

He felt that Naruto was right. It would undoubtedly be a pity not to share delicious food with those he knew.

What if Naruto gets sick and can’t go to the martial arts tournament and eat those delicious foods? How terrible would that be?

'If you really can't go, I'll pack your things for you!'

Saitama made the decision secretly, but he didn't know whether others would allow him to take away the food.

"It's okay!" Naruto was too embarrassed to say that he was afraid of ghosts, so he said casually, "The game character I controlled died, I can just start over."

"Is this game fun?" Saitama, who has not yet experienced the blow of King, is also a heavy game enthusiast. In addition to exercise, his favorite thing is to play various fighting games and competitive games.

Being invincible in the real world, he can only feel the sense of failure in the game.

"You like playing games, too?" Naruto, who was just wondering how to delay time, quit the game instantly and returned to the game lobby. "What kind of games do you want to play? We have them all here."

"Are there any fighting games?" Saitama had never heard of the names of the various games, so he let Naruto choose by himself, "As long as it's a fighting game, I'm fine with it!"

"Okay, then wait a moment, I'll go get you a handle!" Naruto said as he stood up.

In fact, it was in the drawer of the guest desk, but the purpose was to delay time, so of course we had to make it as troublesome as possible, but we couldn't appear to be too slow.

Naruto took out a controller from the storage room at a normal speed. When choosing a game, he said it was unintentional, but in fact he chose the most difficult one intentionally.

then……

When No. 1 and the people from Akatsuki came back, they saw two people sitting on the sofa with gnashing teeth and distorted faces, glaring at each other, neither of them willing to give in.

As soon as Number One came out of the time and space gate and arrived in the storage room, he noticed Saitama's presence and had already hidden himself from everyone else.

The people from Akatsuki left first. Kaguya, Shinobu and Black Zetsu went downstairs to wait for fear of disturbing Number One who was walking behind Naruto.

"How long has he been here?" Number One asked Naruto via voice transmission.

"One afternoon!" Hearing the familiar voice, Naruto knew that Number One was back.

He was also a professional in acting, and did not reveal any flaws on the surface, still looking at Saitama.

Secretly, he told Number One everything that happened after Saitama came, including the time adjustment, which did not include Saitama's world.

Number One frowned. He hadn't thought of this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Divert his attention slowly. The earliest I can go to him is tomorrow."

Number One has already figured out a solution to the problem of time flow rate.

The time for the martial arts tournament had not been determined before, so training was needed, which would also allow Saitama to not notice the time issue.

Once the times are synchronized tomorrow, Saitama won’t know. It doesn’t matter if he finds out later, because we will all be family by then.

According to what No. 1 said, Naruto also began to slowly divert Saitama's attention away from the game.

After Saitama's facial expression returned to calm, Naruto pretended to notice that it was getting late outside.

"Oh, it's getting dark. It's time to eat. Saitama, why don't you stay with us? I'll let you taste my cooking skills."

Saitama didn't refuse. His attention was focused on the game, and as soon as he stopped, he noticed his stomach was rumbling.

They had been searching all day and hadn't eaten anything, and had stayed up late playing games for a long time. When Naruto brought the food to the table, the two of them ate with more joy than each other.

Saitama was hungry, and Naruto was hungry too. He didn't feel it when he was just lying there doing nothing. Playing games with Saitama took up a lot of his energy. It was worthy of being the highest difficulty level, and it was very strenuous to play.

"If I had known earlier I would have picked a fighting game!" Naruto thought to himself as he ate.

After helping Naruto clean up the dishes, Saitama yawned and went back through the convenience store door.

There is still one piece of advice, the difference is that it was No. 1 who said it in the morning, and now it is Naruto who said it.

"While I was eating, I received news that the rules of the martial arts competition have been updated. We will have training in the next few days, and the store will be closed. But don't worry, I have already reported your name, and someone will come to check with you in the next two or three days. Just stay at home and don't walk around!"

"Ha~ I get it!" Saitama waved his hand to indicate that he remembered it.
