Chapter 8

Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Nawaki were sitting inside.

Orochimaru was explaining what had happened before.

"That place was indeed a trap. Given the situation at the time, if Nawaki had rushed in, he would likely have been in mortal danger." Jiraiya had a look of lingering fear, "It was so close, fortunately he stepped in to save Nawaki..." Only then did Nawaki realize.

The handsome man who suddenly appeared had actually saved his life.

At this moment, Nawaki felt very ashamed.

He was originally a sunny and straightforward boy.

When Karl grabbed him earlier, Nawaki had thought the other party was an enemy.

He didn't expect that he had actually come to save him. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====

Nawaki was very ashamed.

When Karl grabbed him earlier, he had even launched an attack on the other party.

"Hmm, he is a friend of mine."

Tsunade nodded.

She was the calmest person in the room.

After all, Karl was the one she had called.

Furthermore, Tsunade knew that Karl was not from this world.

And she also knew that without Karl, Nawaki would have surely died.

After all, it was because of Nawaki's death that she had sought help in the chat group.

Karl had come because of that.

"Indeed, he said he was entrusted by you to save Nawaki."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, wanting to say something but hesitating.

He pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but ask: "How did you meet this friend of yours?" Orochimaru and the others had grown up in Konoha Village with Tsunade.

Their relationship was quite good, similar to the relationship between those Konoha rookies.

In the village, they had never seen a person like Karl.

So Orochimaru didn't know how Tsunade had met him.

Tsunade thought for a moment and said: "I met Karl by chance outside the village." Naturally, she couldn't reveal Karl's identity or the matter of the chat group.

Even if she did, there would be no benefit.

And the other party might not necessarily believe it.

So she just had to find a random excuse.

"But he is a very reliable friend, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru said with an inexplicable expression: "I had a brief exchange with him." "No, rather than an exchange, it was more like I was unilaterally crushed."

"At the time, I couldn't even see his movements clearly before I was knocked to the ground."

"If he had wanted to kill me, I would probably be dead already."

"Let alone me."

Speaking of this, a look of deep dread appeared on Orochimaru's face, "I feel that even Teacher Hiruzen might not be that person's opponent." In reality, he felt that Karl's power was completely above his teacher's.

After all, he hadn't reacted at all before being knocked down by Karl.

And even his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, couldn't achieve that level.

However, it was naturally not easy to say such things out loud.

So Orochimaru spoke quite tactfully.

"Orochimaru, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Jiraiya, upon hearing this, scolded with great dissatisfaction.

Beside him, Nawaki was also somewhat incredulous.

Orochimaru, seeing this, did not explain anything.

He trusted his own judgment.

Beside him, Tsunade nodded in agreement, "Hmm, his power is indeed above Teacher Hiruzen." "I don't believe it!" ===== CHAPTER 23 =====

Jiraiya, seeing this, still did not believe it.

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a strange expression.

She thought to herself, even if you don't believe it, there's nothing to be done.

In the original future, Karl-kun did punch you, after all.

She didn't say anything more, because she knew that no matter what she said, Jiraiya wouldn't believe it.

The group chatted for a while longer, then Jiraiya and Orochimaru left.

Nawaki hung his head and whispered to Tsunade: "Um... is the person who saved me called Karl?" "Yes, that's right."

"Where is Brother Karl now?"

"He went to a very far place, why?"

"Then... when he comes to Konoha, you must tell me, I haven't thanked him yet..." Tsunade, hearing this, showed a smile, "Alright."

……

The next day.

Karl had woken up early.

At this moment, he only felt happy, with an indescribable sense of refreshment throughout his body.

It was as if those twenty-plus years before had been bound by some invisible shackles.

Now, he had finally broken free.

What a long-lost notification sound.

Karl had previously set a twenty-five-year check-in period.

As long as he was here, he could check in automatically.

He hadn't heard the system's notification sound for a long time.

Now that he heard it suddenly, he wasn't quite used to it.

He nodded, "Check in."

As the system's notification sound faded, an item of clothing that was entirely black appeared in front of Karl.

He immediately reached out and caught the clothing.

He opened it to look.

A huge cape, the 'S' symbol on the chest...

It was exactly the suit worn by Superman in the movie.

It's just that the one in his hand was black.

Karl had a strange expression; he walked to the walk-in closet and took out a red and blue suit.

This was what he had bought in the chat group shop early this morning.

He compared the two suits.

Hmm, except for the color, they were exactly the same.

Hehe.

Isn't this a waste of points?

Although a few hundred points wasn't much, there was inexplicably a feeling of waste.

Fine, actually it wasn't a waste.

After all, the colors were different, and although Karl himself preferred the black suit.

One never knew when one might want to wear the blue one.

Putting both suits back in the closet, Karl made a simple breakfast.

After washing up, Karl sat quietly in a chair to rest.

At this moment, his phone rang.

He took a look; the contact name was Skye.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

"Didn't we say we were going shopping today? What time are we going?"

Karl was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, "Now." ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
