Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 205: Setting Sail, A Stroke of Luck, and a Devil Fruit!

After some time, Hatchan, Jinshiro, and Momoo returned from Fishman Island.

And, like the rest, Uchiha Yi swiftly dealt with them.

With that, Cocoyasi Village was finally at peace.

But that peace was only temporary—in this world, pirates ran rampant.

Arlong was gone today, but tomorrow, another threat could take his place.

The only way to secure the life they wanted was to grow stronger.

Power was the only true currency in this world.

Nami was still young, so Uchiha Yi couldn't take her directly into dangerous battles.

But he could start training her now!

"Little Nami, do you want to become strong and protect everyone?"

Uchiha Yi tempted her with the offer.

"Yes!"

Nami answered immediately, without hesitation.

"I've found a place where you can grow stronger. Do you want to leave Cocoyasi Village with me?"

Uchiha Yi continued.

"But… I don't want to leave everyone behind."

Nami hesitated.

"Don't worry, leaving doesn't mean you'll never return."

"How about this? Every so often, we'll come back to visit. What do you think?"

Uchiha Yi didn't want to force her into anything she wasn't willing to do.

Instead, he negotiated with her, making her feel in control.

"Really?"

"Then I'll go with Yi-nii!"

Hearing his proposal, Nami agreed without a second thought.

The main reason was Bell-mère's death, which had left her with a deep desire for strength.

Since she agreed, everything became much easier.

After explaining the situation to the villagers, Uchiha Yi also brought Nami's best friend, Nojiko, and the three set sail on Hatchan's stolen ship.

"Ah! This is amazing!"

"So this is the sea?!"

At first, Nami was reluctant to leave.

But after experiencing the vastness of the ocean, she forgot her sadness and ran around the ship excitedly.

"Be careful! Don't fall overboard!"

Nojiko, more composed, warned her.

"I know!"

Hearing Nojiko's concern, Nami calmed down a little and stopped running around.

"Yi-nii, where are we headed?"

Nami ran over to Uchiha Yi and asked curiously.

"Shimotsuki Village."

Uchiha Yi paused his training, grabbed a towel, wiped his sweat, and answered calmly.

"Will I become really strong there?"

Nami, curious, pressed on, while Nojiko also leaned in to listen.

"Not necessarily."

"Becoming strong depends on your own effort."

"Even the best teacher in the world can't make you strong if you don't work hard."

"But if you put in the effort, you can become strong anywhere."

"Only by becoming strong can you protect what matters to you."

"We defeated Arlong this time, but what if next time, an even stronger pirate crew comes?"

Uchiha Yi's words were firm and serious, ensuring that Nami deeply understood the importance of strength.

"I understand!"

"Please teach me how to become strong, Yi-nii!"

Hearing his words, Nami's expression turned serious as she formally requested to be trained.

"That's the spirit!"

"Let's start by training your body."

Pleased with her answer, Uchiha Yi began teaching her simple training exercises.

She was still young, so he couldn't push her too hard just yet.

"Ah! What's happening?"

"The oranges were fine just a moment ago—why do they look like this now?!"

Nojiko suddenly screamed in surprise.

She had brought a plate of oranges to share, but something unexpected happened.

Uchiha Yi turned and immediately noticed it.

A Devil Fruit had somehow appeared among the oranges!

"Holy sh—!"

"A Devil Fruit!"

What kind of insane luck was this?!

A Devil Fruit just randomly appeared out of nowhere?

This was beyond surprising!

Immediately, Uchiha Yi thought of something.

After completing a Conquest Mode mission, the system grants endless benefits.

One of those benefits was "Fortune's Favor."

So, could it be that his domination of the Naruto world also granted him good fortune?

That seemed highly likely—otherwise, what were the odds of something this convenient happening?

"Relax, it's nothing bad."

"This is a Devil Fruit, one of the sea's greatest treasures."

Uchiha Yi explained to reassure them.

Hearing this, Nami immediately leaned in closer to see the legendary Devil Fruit.

"Ew!"

"It looks disgusting!"

"I bet it tastes horrible!"

Nami studied it for a while before giving her honest opinion.

"This fruit—can I have it?"

Ignoring her reaction, Uchiha Yi turned to Nojiko for permission.

He had already recognized it.

It was the Draw-Draw Fruit (Bihou Bihou no Mi).

(Translated as the "Brush-Brush Fruit" in official sources, but Uchiha Yi preferred "Draw-Draw Fruit" for a more fitting name.)

This was the same fruit eaten by Kurozumi Kanjuro in Wano.

It allowed anything drawn to become real.

If used correctly, it was an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit, possibly even god-tier among Paramecia-types.

In his past life, Uchiha Yi had always admired this fruit.

Its sudden appearance was perfectly aligned with his current situation.

His mission wasn't to make himself stronger—it was to make Nami strong enough to rule the world.

If he found a Mythical Zoan fruit, he wouldn't keep it for himself—he'd give it to Nami.

The stronger she became, the higher his chances of completing the mission.

But the Draw-Draw Fruit wasn't suitable for Nami.

"Of course!"

"Yi-nii has done so much for us—this is the least I can do!"

Nojiko smiled warmly and handed the fruit to him.

"Thanks. If I find a better fruit for you, I'll give it to you in return."

After thanking her, Uchiha Yi picked up the Draw-Draw Fruit and took a bite.

Since he already knew it tasted awful, he swallowed it quickly without chewing.

A strange power immediately surged through his body.
