Konoha's Mission Master

He gagged, sounding somewhat disillusioned with life, pressed his right hand against the black face mask, and forced down the fruit he almost vomited up. He looked at Yakumo and Nohara Rin with a questioning gaze.

Didn't you say...it was just a little unpalatable?

This isn't just a little unpalatable, it's like eating shit!

Kakashi now understood perfectly well that Masako Mori and Yakumo had deliberately concealed the true taste of the Devil Fruit just to see them make fools of themselves. Rin Nohara had also concealed the true taste after realizing the problem, and then joined the group of spectators.

"Kakashi... what's wrong?"

Of everyone present, only Obito was unaware of the truth, so Kakashi, with a concerned tone, inquired about it.

"It's nothing, this fruit is just a little unpalatable."

Kakashi stared at the remaining fruit pulp in the broken wooden box, pondering to himself, if this fruit was made by Yakumo, then the taste could only be attributed to his peculiar perverse taste.

Suddenly, Kakashi noticed a change in his body. A cool energy spread from his abdomen to his limbs, and he could clearly feel that his body was different, as if the explosive power between his muscles had suddenly increased several times.

White Fang was drawn from its sheath and gently swung.

The silver light shimmered, like a ray of moonlight descending, cold and chilling.

"It seems Kakashi has had a good haul."

Seeing his movements, Yakumo judged that the speed of his sword swings had increased by about four times. For someone who had just eaten a Devil Fruit, this was already quite remarkable.

This is enough to prove that the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit is a very good match for Kakashi's body.

"Indeed...speed has been improved in every aspect."

Kakashi swiped the White Fang away from his shoulder, quite satisfied with the boost the fruit had given him.

"Can these remaining fruit pieces grant abilities to others as well?"

Kakashi looked at the remaining fruit pulp in the wooden box and asked, "I want my father to have this amazing ability too."

"No."

Yakumo shook his head.

Uniqueness is the ironclad rule of Devil Fruits.

Yakumo might be able to find the hidden reason behind this, but he doesn't have much time to devote to this research right now, since his own time has become increasingly scarce since getting married.

Masako Mori suffered repeated defeats, but she was very unwilling to accept it and always provoked him.

"Ok."

Kakashi nodded with some regret.

"What kind of method is needed to advance this ability to its peak state?" Nohara Rinya asked at this moment.

"By constantly using the ability and constantly consuming physical energy, you can gradually develop this ability to its peak state. However, if you want to break through the limit, you need a little bit of talent." Yakumo explained the development of Devil Fruits.

"If you want to break through the limits and reach the peak again, that little bit of talent is very important, as well as the patience to keep repeating."

Masako Mori is talking about the secrets to achieving the Super Awakening of a Devil Fruit. After all, her Illusionary Bird Fruit has already awakened, so she is qualified to share her experience with her friends.

"I probably understand."

Kakashi decided to develop his abilities while practicing swordsmanship.

"By the way, did Qianxue also consume the fruit?"

Yakumo nodded.

"I'll go find Qianxue later and have a spar with him to see if I can defeat him."

Kakashi attributed Chiyuki's easy defeat to the Devil Fruit, unaware that... Chiyuki did not use the abilities granted by the Devil Fruit during the battle.

Mori Masako secretly chuckled to herself, eagerly anticipating Kakashi being humiliated again. After being subjected to a series of trials by Yukotsu Chiyuki, Kakashi seemed to be possessed by Might Guy, immediately seeking out Chiyuki to challenge him whenever his strength improved.

“Obito, I suggest you choose a Devil Fruit too. Even if you choose a comfortable life, you should still have the power to protect Rin Nohara and the children. Don’t wait until you lose them in the future to regret your weakness.”

Yakumo turned his gaze to Obito, who was cracking sunflower seeds. As his brother, he had to give Obito some advice. Perhaps having achieved his ideal life, Obito had inevitably become somewhat lazy and complacent.

Their strength has remained unchanged for a long time.

Obito Uchiha possessed the three-tomoe Sharingan and was close to the level of the Kage of various villages. He was considered a strong person in the ninja world, but he was not truly among the top.

Although Konoha is currently very safe, with approximately five Kage-level powerhouses who exert pressure on the entire ninja world, preventing other ninja villages from harboring any thoughts of invasion.

Orochimaru could be resurrected at any time, and he remains a major threat to Konoha.

Now that Nohara Rin possesses the Healing Fruit, coupled with her relatively unremarkable strength, she could very well become a tool coveted by some.

The situation will become even more dangerous in the future.

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha showed a thoughtful expression.

"Yakumo is right. The ninja world may seem peaceful now, but the underlying struggles between them haven't changed. It's just that Yakumo's strength has suppressed these ambitions in their hearts."

Masako Mori spoke up to persuade him, because she understood Yakumo's thoughts. While the group was exploring the new world, Yakumo hoped that there would be strong ninjas to guard the main base.

"Obito, I will support your ideas, even if I refuse them."

Rin Nohara reached out and covered Obito's hands, the two gazing into each other's eyes and showering everyone with their affection.

"I think... tranquility is a wonderful thing."

Under Rin Nohara's gaze, Obito Uchiha made his choice.

"But I also know that I need strength to protect An Yi. If that fruit can really make me stronger, I will definitely train hard... even if it's for Lin and the child."

Obito Uchiha also realized his own problems. The most important thing was that although Yakumo advised him less often, each time he did so, his life changed for the better.

That's right. To protect those you want to cherish, you can't be complacent in the cradle of love and ignore the dangers outside. Only by becoming a strong person who goes against the tide can you face the potential dangers.

"So what kind of power do you wish to obtain?" Yakumo asked.

Obito fell into thought again.

Actually, I thought of many alternative answers for Obito and Yakumo, such as a Zoan-type Devil Fruit combined with the ability to control life.

Within a few months, one can attain the strength of the pinnacle of the Shadow Realm.

In addition... there are also Devil Fruits suitable for Obito among the Paramecia and Logia types. In the end, Yakumo decided to let Obito make his own judgment on which fruit to take.

Well...

Obito slowly closed his eyes, recalling what he had learned.

In what aspect can he be considered a strongman?

Whether it's half-baked taijutsu or the Sharingan genjutsu that brings shame to the Uchiha clan, it's definitely... his signature move is the fire-style ninjutsu he's mastered through countless practice sessions using shadow clones.

Now that he had figured out his strongest point, Obito didn't need to think any further. Besides, although genjutsu was ubiquitous, Obito didn't like the fighting style of genjutsu!

"Are there any fruits that can amplify fire-type attacks?"

"That's a good option."

Yakumo took out a wooden box from his storage scroll, casually lifted the lid, and what appeared before everyone was a golden fruit with incredibly complex patterns on its surface, and it was spherical in shape.

But when Masako Mori saw the fruit, she looked surprised; clearly, the appearance of this fruit was beyond her expectations.

"What kind of fruit is this?" Kakashi asked.

For some reason, when he saw the fruit, he felt a wave of heat wash over him, as if it were a scorching fireball radiating intense heat.

But the feeling vanished in the next second.

The fruit did not release high temperatures. The feeling just now was just a sensory illusion, like looking at the flames burning inside a furnace from a distance and feeling that the flames are actually very close to you.

As Obito Uchiha gazed at the golden fruit, a feeling of fondness unconsciously arose in his heart—a subconscious, instinctive choice.

The golden, spherical fruit is covered with cracks, and inside those cracks are even brighter, glowing golden patterns, which feel like golden magma cooling down.

"This is... a Logia-type Lava Fruit."

Masako Mori explained that this fruit could be considered one of the three most precious fruits in the possession of Yakumo.

From Yakumo's actions, Masako Mori deduced that among the people present, Yakumo cared most about... Obito Uchiha.

Because of... the term of address for brothers?

Mori Masako recalled their past meetings. Of all the people, Obito was the one who showed the most enthusiasm towards Yakumo, always giving him a very strong hug whenever they met.

Similarly... Yakumo's first display of strength in front of everyone was also for Obito Uchiha, and their relationship was indeed better than that of others.

At this moment, Yakumo's choice to take out the Magma-Magma Fruit was an even more blatant display of favoritism.

"What is the power of this fruit?" Obito Uchiha pressed.

"Hahaha..." Yakumo laughed, gesturing for Mori Masako to explain.

"To be honest, I felt a little heartbroken when Yakumo took out this fruit. I originally planned to give it to my future child because the power of this fruit is lava!"

"It can transform a person's body into lava, making them immune to many forms of attack, especially weapon strikes."

"Furthermore... it grants the power to control lava, including the endless magma underground. If the owner of this fruit can develop its abilities to the fullest extent, they could defeat a Super Shadow while standing on the ground."

Mori Masako deliberately feigned a pained expression, as if she were reluctant to give this precious fruit to Uchiha Obito. In reality... she was indeed reluctant, after all, this was a fruit prepared in advance for her child.

"Haha, so I've actually made a huge profit!"

Obito Uchiha laughed as he picked up the golden Magma-Magma Fruit, then took a big bite into it amidst everyone's astonished gazes, and began to chew it vigorously.

Chapter 424 The Changed Plan, Preparing to Depart in Advance

Amidst the expectant gazes and mischievous grins of the crowd.

Obito Uchiha's face suddenly turned pale, and he leaned forward, gagging repeatedly. At the same time, he covered his mouth to prevent spitting out the fruit and swallowed hard.

A dozen seconds later, Obito raised his head and looked at Nohara Rin not far away with some resentment. At this moment, he also realized that he had been tricked by a group of people, and even his beloved Rin had not warned him.

The taste of Devil Fruits is more than just unpleasant; it's like eating shit!

"I'm sorry... Obito, I..."

Nohara Rin tried to explain with a hint of apology.

When she ate it, she realized it was a prank by Yakumo and Mori Masako, so she didn't deliberately expose it.
