Jiraiya felt envious in his heart. It should be noted that currently, the people capable of using Hiraishin no Jutsu with their own power were only the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato.
Tobirama observed the surroundings, then nodded: "The environment in this world is indeed decent, its development does have differences from our place... What's the situation now?"
Kakashi answered: "Right now the time hasn't run out, but on each tower floor many casualties have already fallen. There are also people who successfully passed the trial and entered the next floor room, but so far no one has exited."
Tobirama nodded. This indeed made sense. After all, those who didn't pass would die, or had to survive until the seven-day time limit ended before they could leave. Whereas for those who successfully passed the trial, they obtained extraordinary benefits—like Gin—how could they willingly leave just like that? Human greed indeed had no limits.
Tobirama said: "We've also seen the situation inside the Trial Tower. This crystal live broadcast space has spread throughout the world, possessing extraordinary abilities just like the Gold List. That kid named Gin obtained fate-defying fortune. If we can bring him back to Konoha Village, it will be very beneficial for us."
Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Guy looked at each other. They thought to themselves, it turned out their guess was correct. When they watched the live broadcast and saw the rewards Gin obtained, they themselves felt very envious.
Tobirama asked: "What's the current situation of the ninjas we brought?"
Kakashi sighed: "This Trial Tower's danger level is truly beyond our imagination. The space on each floor forms its own world hiding great dangers. About half of our people have already fallen. Most of them can only survive with difficulty. Only one person successfully broke through the third floor and reached the fourth floor room."
"Oh? Who?"
Tobirama's eyes gleamed. He didn't really care about the ninja sacrifices; from the start he knew this Sacred Ruins Trial Tower was dangerous and had prepared a quota for casualties. However, hearing that someone successfully passed the trial made him slightly shocked and happy.
Kakashi pointed toward the distant Trial Tower, while smiling faintly: "A kid from the Nara family, his name is Nara Haba."
"The Nara Clan..." Tobirama nodded slightly. "So it's their descendant, no wonder..."
It should be noted, Nara Shikamaru from the Nara Clan also successfully made it onto the Hidden Expert List because of his very high intelligence. Nara Haba was Shikamaru's cousin; his talent wasn't too high and currently he was just a Genin, but his intelligence was also very prominent.
Jiraiya commented: "This kid isn't simple. He deceived team members and opponents on the same floor, which indirectly helped him avoid crises several times. In the end, he reaped the results, completed the mission, and obtained a Godhood Fragment!"
"Godhood Fragment?!"
Tobirama's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he said seriously: "This item must be very important. Later after he exits, bring him to me, I want to question him thoroughly. Since it's a fragment, it can definitely be assembled into a whole. If the fragments can be fully collected... his future will be limitless! What Godhood Fragment did he obtain?"
Previously they hadn't paid much attention to their own forces' movements, because their main focus was on Gin.
Jiraiya answered: "Its name is 'God of Mischief' Godhood. It seems not to give much increase in physical strength, but appears very suitable for Haba. Now he's like a fish in water on the fourth floor, there's a high likelihood he can reach the fifth floor before the time limit ends."
Tobirama nodded satisfied. Bringing so many people finally didn't disappoint him.
"I came here to tell you one thing. After this Sacred Ruins Trial Tower ends, chaos will most likely occur. Many people are targeting that kid named Gin. To fight over him, a great battle might break out. You must prepare yourselves. At that time, I'll spread a Hiraishin formation to bring reinforcements here!"
Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Guy nodded.
Guy said with full enthusiasm: "I've long wanted to fight with strong fighters from other worlds. Finally that opportunity has come. This is youth!"
Tobirama glared at him and warned: "The modified version of Hachimon Tonkou that Rock Lee obtained from the Gold List you can't learn yet now. You must be calmer, the Eighth Gate (Gate of Death) absolutely must not be opened, understand?"
As the Second Hokage, he had certainly seen how terrifying Hachimon Tonkou users were when opening the Gate of Death, and he knew that opening that gate meant pushing oneself into hell. After speaking, his figure faded and disappeared from the room.

In the Meeting Room.
At this time, several S-Class heroes from the One Punch Man world sat there.
The bespectacled man (Sitch) propped his chin with both hands, saying with a serious expression: "This man named Gin obtained very great fortune. Once he exits this time, we absolutely cannot let him go. Whatever items in his hands are extraordinary treasures. We must pull him to our side."
Bang nodded: "Correct. However this time it's definitely not just us. The other two worlds definitely won't miss this opportunity. It seems we'll face fierce combat. Saitama-kun, this time we're relying on you!"
Saitama rubbed the long hair on his head, then shook his head: "Battles like this are really boring, I'm not interested. Currently there are still many monsters doing evil in the city, it's more important for me to hunt them and save citizens."
The bespectacled man immediately panicked: "You're the strongest combat power on our side! Experts from the other two worlds are stronger than us by not just a little. If you don't go, we might have no chance of winning at all. Monsters will never be completely eradicated, but if we obtain treasures from Gin and make our citizens strong, what else needs to be feared from monsters?"
Saitama tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded resignedly: "Alright then."
He truly couldn't muster interest in battles that could be finished with just one punch. He had tried it before; although he used the wig from the Gold List to suppress his power, still almost no one could take his attack. Imu, who was once the World Government's number one, was living proof—now he was just his prisoner.
The bespectacled man looked happy, he clenched his fist: "Since Saitama-kun is willing to take action, then there should be no more problems. Gin is the target we must obtain."
Tatsumaki who was leaning in her chair snorted coldly, she pouted arrogantly and dissatisfied. The meaning of those words was that people like them were all trash, wasn't it? Although compared to strong fighters from those two worlds they were indeed weaker, but no need to say it so openly like that!
