Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 344 Another Exchange

"The Flame-Flame Fruit. It's a pity Orochimaru and Tsunade aren't around, and eating it separately probably wouldn't be very effective."

Uchiha Yoichi studied the Flame-Flame Fruit, but no matter how he probed it with his mental power, he couldn't find anything unusual about it. Apart from the slightly warm temperature, it felt like an ordinary fruit to him.

"Flame abilities suit me quite well, but my weakness is that I'm afraid of Seastone. However, there's no Seastone in the ninja world, and I also have genetic energy."

The Flame-Flame Fruit would make it easier for him to control flames, which would definitely greatly improve his alchemy skills. Moreover, Uchiha Yangyi also possesses the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, so he might be able to strengthen this strange flame with the help of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

"Eat it!"

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Yoichi decided to eat the Flame-Flame Fruit. The Golden Emperor's Heavenly Flame and the ability to refine medicine were enough to make him eat this Devil Fruit.

He took a bite of the Flame-Flame Fruit, and an indescribable nauseating taste burst into his mouth. Uchiha Yang's facial features immediately contorted, but he still swallowed the Flame-Flame Fruit.

"Ugh, that's disgusting."

After rinsing his mouth, Uchiha Yangyi quickly felt the changes in his body. He raised his hand and, with a thought, his palm turned into flames.

"The flames naturally materialized, along with the Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame!"

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, the flames on Uchiha Yoichi's wrist instantly turned into golden flames, raising the room temperature by hundreds of times, and some furniture spontaneously combusted.

In a short moment, Uchiha Yoichi retracted the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and then extinguished the flames that had started burning in the room. Although some furniture was destroyed, he was in a very good mood.

Now his control over the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is as natural as instinct; it's practically become second nature to him.

The next time, Uchiha Yoichi went to the alchemy room on the second floor, where he thoroughly tested the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. He played with this fierce flame in various ways.

Golden Flame Serpent, Golden Flame Bird, and these small animals, apart from being entirely yellow, were made lifelike by Uchiha Yangyi's control, with even their feathers and snake scales clearly visible.

"With fire control abilities dozens of times stronger than before, and also mental power, I can now even try my hand at seventh or eighth-grade pills! What a pity!"

Uchiha Yoichi shook his head. He had the skills, but no materials. Even with the purest natural stone in the ninja world and his own blood, which contained abundant energy, he could only refine a fifth-grade pill.

Fifth-grade pills greatly enhance the power of Kage-level ninjas, but they have little effect on him.

However, he now finds it much easier to refine fifth-grade pills, and Uchiha Yoichi immediately tried to refine a Dragon Power Pill.

Soon, the Dragon Power Pill was refined, reducing the refining time by one-third, and the quality of the pill was also improved.

"Oh right, I remember Yao Chen researched a kind of eye-enhancing pill called the Heavenly Eye Pill, which seemed to be made specifically from the essence of magical beasts' eyeballs."

Uchiha Yoichi suddenly remembered the pill hidden in his memory. It was probably between the fourth and fifth grade. It was made by combining some common medicinal materials with the essence of the eyes of powerful magical beasts. The Heavenly Eye Pill could improve a person's eyesight several times over.

It just so happens that he has the eyeballs of that old guy Gamamaru. After Orochimaru dissected and studied the toad's corpse for a while, he sent over these two most useless eyes.

Although it was useless, after Gamamaru died, his eyes became as hard as gemstones.

If displayed on a shelf, it would make a nice collectible; you wouldn't guess it's an animal's eye at all.

Uchiha Yoichi planned to use Gamamaru's eyes to refine elixirs, which could be considered as Gamamaru contributing his last bit of value.

Meanwhile, Yamanaka Ino also told Uzumaki Naruto and Nara Shikamaru the news she had just learned from Uchiha Yoichi.

When the two heard that the ninja world would have to endure ten more of these calamities, their expressions turned grim.

"Naruto, it seems we need to call Sasuke back. If something like this appears in Konoha, we'll be prepared to deal with it."

Nara Shikamaru spoke up, saying that the beasts were four or five times larger than the Ten-Tails. Although the abilities of those beasts were not yet known, the sheer size of these beasts meant that even a simple turn of their bodies could be devastating to Konoha.

If something like this suddenly appears in Konoha, then the only people in Konoha who can deal with these strange beasts are probably Naruto and Sasuke.

"Well, before that, I plan to discuss this with the other Kage and also inform countries outside the Five Great Shinobi Villages so that they will take it seriously as well."

Naruto's face was now filled with solemnity; he felt the same pressure he had felt when facing Kaguya Otsutsuki.

A monster appears every three days, and nobody knows where it will appear. It will appear nine more times.

Naruto suddenly spoke up: "Ino, could you please call that Yoichi-kun over? I have something I want to ask him."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino shook her head helplessly and said, "He doesn't want to come to the Hokage's office anymore, Naruto. Is there anything I can pass on to you, or you can go to his pharmacy yourself."

"Oh, by the way, when I dropped Sakura off just now, I ran into two civilians from the coastal region of the Land of Fire at the village entrance."

Ino Yamanaka also revealed that the two commoner brothers had sold the treasure to Uchiha Yoichi. After hearing what Ino said, the other two people in the room couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Nara Shikamaru's impression of Konoha soured because of this incident, but unexpectedly, the other party did not go to the coast at all. Instead, he stayed at home and someone delivered treasure to his door.

Although the specific effects of a fruit related to fire are unclear, if the greater the disaster, the more precious the treasure, then this is definitely not an ordinary fire fruit.

"Then I'll go ask that Yoichi-kun after my meeting. But there's something else I need to ask you, Ino."

Naruto Uzumaki continued, "Now the village's security needs to be strengthened, and I want you to take over this area, responsible for sensing any unusual chakra within the barrier."

"Hey, should I take care of it?"

Yamanaka Ino was somewhat surprised by this, as she hadn't been on a mission for a while.

"That's right. Because of these unknown disasters, Konoha's barrier needs to be rearranged. Ino, your sensory ninjutsu is unmatched by most people. You'll definitely be able to take on the responsibility of guarding the village."

Naruto Uzumaki pleaded, a request he made after discussing it with Shikamaru.

"Alright, then we'll go check out the barrier class."

After hearing this explanation, Yamanaka Ino had no choice but to agree, as the Yamanaka clan's ninjas were best suited for the barrier team and the interrogation team.

Yamanaka Inoichi used to be in the interrogation team, but Uzumaki Naruto, considering that Yamanaka Ino was a woman, put her in the barrier team instead.

In the past, when the ninja world was peaceful, the village might not have needed to be so vigilant. But now the ninja world is not stable, and disasters could occur at any time. Therefore, the village's resources must be utilized as much as possible.

After Yamanaka Ino left, Uzumaki Naruto and Nara Shikamaru discussed the matter again. They were discussing whether to bring Sai back first, as the village urgently needed to gather its strength to deal with the current disaster.

However, Nara Shikamaru was against it. Although disaster could happen at any time, they couldn't let go of the organization that secretly harbored ill intentions towards Konoha. Sai had already investigated some clues, and if they came back now, they might not be able to find those people later.

In the end, Naruto Uzumaki agreed to Shikamaru's suggestion and allowed Sai to continue investigating the organization in the shadows.

After discussing the village's affairs, Naruto immediately contacted the other four Kage, preparing to tell Kurotsuchi and the others about the matter as soon as possible. They didn't have much time left; a new disaster would occur after tomorrow night.

When Naruto Uzumaki arrived, Yoichi Uchiha had just finished refining the Tenmoku Dan and chatted with him for a while.

Although Naruto Uzumaki was his stepson in the original world, Naruto Uzumaki in this world had no relation to him at all. Therefore, Uchiha Yangyi had a neutral feeling towards Naruto Uzumaki and would not show him excessive kindness.

Naruto Uzumaki's visit was intended to ease the tension between him and Shikamaru Nara, but Yoichi Uchiha didn't need Naruto's help at all and showed great resistance. Seeing this, Naruto gave up.

He then inquired in detail about the disaster and brought his laptop, on which were the other four Kage, who also wanted to get detailed information from Uchiha Yoichi.

There was nothing wrong with talking about this. Uchiha Yangyi simply repeated what he had said to Yamanaka Ino, and after he finished speaking, he answered a few of their questions. Then he pretended that he knew nothing.

Prophecy is not omniscient, and besides, he has already said enough.

Naruto then gave up asking questions, got up to say goodbye and prepare to leave. He and the other four Kage already knew enough from Uchiha Yoichi, and now they were going back to prepare for the future.

After Naruto Uzumaki left, Yoichi Uchiha began to think about what to do next.

He didn't know what kind of strange beast would appear next, or even where it would appear. If it appeared on the other side of the ninja world, Uchiha Yoichi wouldn't be able to sense it.

Besides the arrival of strange beasts and disasters, the Tenseigan clone also arrived in the capital of the Land of Fire and acquired an electronics company to develop mobile communication devices. Furthermore, Uchiha Yoichi also planned to have the Tenseigan clone set up a film and television company.

For those who specialize in filming TV dramas, such as "Beautiful Wife's Post-Marriage Love Pursuit" and "Marriage is Just a Shackle, True Love is the Choice," these are just side projects. All they need to do is provide the money.

"What should we do next?"

With both his Kamui clone and Tenseigan clone busy, it was difficult for him to continue refining medicine. The precious medicinal herbs were almost used up, unless he used his [Time-Space Trade] ability to exchange them with others.

Uchiha Yoichi opened the superpower panel, looked at it for a while, and suddenly noticed a very useful superpower that he had previously obtained.

[Entering Dreams]: Part of the Dream God's ability, allowing one to create anything within a dream.

"Let's redeem this once."

Uchiha Yoichi made up his mind, thinking that here he could not only hone his alchemy skills or conduct other research, but also deepen Mrs. Ino's love and affection for him, and also...

"exchange!"
