Naruto World — Konohagakure
Naruto Uzumaki was still completely dazed.
He had spent a long time trying to digest the shocking truth—
that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage, the person he admired most in the world.
His mind overwhelmed, he fled back home, refusing to go out, refusing to train.
Even though Iruka-sensei had already stood outside the door for more than an hour…
Naruto just stared blankly at the video playing before him.
His thoughts were tangled, chaotic—
so he could only hide inside and keep watching.
Hearing Boros' words in the video, Naruto muttered in confusion:
"What's wrong with that guy… killing so many people just for his own selfish reasons!! What a total bastard!"
"So Naruto, promise me you won't ever become someone like that."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside him.
Naruto froze, then turned his head in shock.
Standing next to him were the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Iruka.
"Iruka-sensei… Grandpa Hokage… how did you…"
Naruto stared, bewildered.
He had no idea when they entered.
But to a ninja, entering an unguarded house was nothing.
"Don't mind us. Just keep watching."
Hiruzen gently patted Naruto's head, his expression complicated.
He hadn't expected the reveal of Naruto's parentage to shake the boy this hard—
and guilt welled painfully inside him.
One Punch Man World
All S-Class heroes trembled when they heard Boros proclaim himself a conqueror of space—
invincible across the entire universe.
And ordinary civilians?
They were terrified out of their wits.
"Invincible across the universe"…
What level of strength was that supposed to be!?
No one could even imagine it.
The entire planet was shaken by Boros' declaration.
"No way… invincible across the whole universe… impossible!"
Tatsumaki ground her teeth, disbelief in her eyes.
She was strong—very strong—
but even she wasn't anywhere near "universe-level."
As for the lower-rank heroes?
Many instantly lost all will to fight.
How were they supposed to defeat an enemy like that?
[Inside the Video]
Boros had barely finished speaking when—
His body suddenly stiffened.
Because Saitama had already thrown his punch.
BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!
The air itself detonated around Saitama's fist,
and a violent shockwave blasted straight toward Boros.
CRAAASH!!!!
Most viewers didn't even see what happened.
One moment Boros was standing there—
the next moment he was sent flying like a ragdoll,
slamming into a massive pillar behind him.
BOOM!!!
A huge crater exploded in the pillar, rubble raining down.
Countless viewers froze.
They never imagined Saitama's punch would be this horrifying.
But at the same time—
many looked suspiciously at Boros on screen.
THIS guy claimed to be "invincible across the universe???
This weak??"
Worldwide Reactions
"That punch… was insane!! Did Boros get beaten with just that one hit!?"
"No way—THIS is the so-called 'universal overlord'? He went down instantly!"
"Is that guy just a fraud who talks big?!"
Many of those who were earlier terrified of Boros were now mocking him desperately—
mostly to hide the fact that they had been scared out of their minds.
So once they saw Boros sent flying,
their courage magically returned,
and the ridicule began.
And even in the One Punch Man world—
S-Class heroes quietly sighed in relief.
Ordinary heroes regained confidence completely.
After all, this video was showing their future.
If Boros was defeated in one punch…
maybe things weren't so hopeless after all.
Many lower-rank heroes even smirked.
They had checked the Hero Association registry.
That bald guy?
He was only a C-Class hero.
C-Class.
They all ranked higher than him.
"So THAT's the One Punch Man?
Ha! Not even close to my rank!"
Hero Association Headquarters
"Hahahahaha!!! So he's just a poser! I thought he was powerful—turns out he can't even beat a C-Class hero! 'Galactic Overlord'? Pah!"
"I swear, this whole video had me terrified! And for what!? What a joke!"
The tension vanished instantly.
Tatsumaki stood up, scowling, and flew toward the door.
She had been frightened too—
and now felt utterly insulted.
"To think we held a meeting for this trash. What a waste of time. I'd rather be out killing monsters."
"Hold on, Tornado…
Do you actually think Boros is weak?"
The one who spoke was the S-Class Rank 3 hero—
Silver Fang, Bang.
"Someone who gets dropped by a single C-Class punch—how strong can he be?"
Tatsumaki said coldly.
Bang frowned.
"Perhaps. But I don't think Boros' title is fake. Anyone who commands a ship capable of wiping out half of A-City instantly is no joke—"
Before he could finish, Atomic Samurai cut him off.
"Tch!! 'Galactic Overlord'? More like a clown with a ship!
If he stood in front of me, I'd slice his head off instantly!!"
Compared to Bang's caution,
Atomic Samurai's arrogance was absolute.
Bang gave him a complicated look.
His instincts screamed—
if they underestimated Boros, disaster was inevitable.
He then turned his gaze toward the newest S-Class hero—
Genos.
Rumors online said Genos was close to that C-Class bald hero.
If anyone knew the truth, it'd be him.
Bang glanced properly—
And froze.
Genos' face showed pure shock.
Not relief.
Not amusement.
Shock.
Bang couldn't help asking:
"Genos… what do you think?"
