Devil Law

"No, that's not possible."

"Because I can only imbue the Devil Law into you, or into objects that you possess."

Facing Yu's question, the devil shook its head gently. "And whether it's a weapon or any other item, none can unleash the full power of the Devil Law."

"Therefore, human puppets—those created by modifying human bodies—are the optimal choice for a puppeteer."

"Human puppets, huh..." Yu listened to the devil's explanation in silence, his mind beginning to churn. "In that case... it looks like I'll have to find a way to get my hands on that secret technique in the future."

Puppetry—Yu knew it was a traditional ninjutsu unique to the Sunagakure Village of the Land of Wind in the Naruto world.

It refers to a ninjutsu that uses specific methods to manipulate puppets, corpses, and the like for combat, infiltration, and other missions, possessing immense destructive power.

Ninjas who use puppetry are known as puppeteers and hold a relatively high status in Sunagakure.

And human puppets—they are the absolute limit of puppetry, a powerful forbidden technique created by Sunagakure's first puppeteer, Monzaemon, and later popularized by the genius puppet designer of the Sand, Sasori of the Red Sand.

The strength of a human puppet lies in the fact that by turning a human corpse into a puppet, one can perfectly preserve the target's chakra from when they were alive, thereby allowing the use of all the ninjutsu the target possessed—even including Kekkei Genkai.

"Hmm... as for puppeteers,"

"Although in the original story, aside from Chiyo and Sasori of the Red Sand whose strength reached Kage-level, all the other puppeteers were just a bunch of weaklings."

Hearing the devil's words, Yu finally calmed down and began to ponder carefully. "But human puppets, just the fact that they can perfectly preserve the target's chakra and all their ninjutsu, including Kekkei Genkai, is already incredibly heaven-defying."

"If I were to create human puppets with Mangekyo Sharingan, Wood Release, or even Rinnegan and Tenseigan, and combine them with the Devil Law abilities, who in this world would I have to fear?"

Thinking of this, Yu seemed to see a bright, infinite road opening up before him, and his amber eyes erupted with two intensely scorching rays of light.

"I'm afraid by then, even if Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were resurrected and stood before me, I could teach them both how to be human again in minutes!"

"Besides, the ability of the String-String Fruit combined with puppetry is simply a perfect match!"

For the first time, after transmigrating into this cruel ninja world where geniuses were everywhere and cheaters were as common as dogs, Yu felt true confidence in his future path for the first time.

Even if he faced various heaven-defying bosses or all sorts of overpowered geniuses in the future.

With so many Devil Fruit abilities in his hands, Yu believed that he would eventually be able to master his own destiny and dominate this ninja world!

"It seems you have already found the path that truly belongs to you."

Feeling that Yu had swept away all his previous frustration and that an unprecedented, firm confidence was radiating from within his heart, The devil's voice began to fade from Yu's ears, though it didn't forget to scare him one last time before disappearing. "Very good. Then, starting from today, strive to survive in this world!"

"Because if you die, your soul will be devoured by me until nothing remains."

"You want to eat my soul?"

Hearing the threat the devil left in his mind before fading away, the corners of Yu's mouth curled up slightly. "If that day ever really comes, then come and get it, devil!"

Great... as long as I have the Devil Law...

I have enough certainty to rise at the fastest speed and become the strongest in this world!!

Because the ability of the String-String Fruit alone is already far superior to the vast majority of Kekkei Genkai in this world.

And just like Devil Fruits, there is no limit to the development of Devil Law abilities; as long as Yu uses his perspective as a transmigrator to exert his imagination and creativity, It is only a matter of time before the power of the String-String Fruit reaches and surpasses the level of Doflamingo from One Piece.

Furthermore, if Yu finds an opportunity in the future, And manages to obtain the secret technique for human puppets, it would mean he could possess puppets with various Devil Fruit abilities.

What kind of scene would that be?!

The Glint-Glint Fruit reaching the speed of light, the Chilly-Chilly Fruit freezing the entire ocean, the Mag-Mag Fruit capable of devouring even flames, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit capable of destroying the world, and all sorts of other heaven-defying Devil Law abilities...

Just thinking about the human puppets he would create in the future, which would have the chance to possess these powerful, heaven-defying Devil Law abilities, Yu couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"Yu!!"

"I knew you were hiding here practicing shuriken again!"

At this moment, a voice from the side suddenly pulled Yu's thoughts back to reality.

Turning his head, he saw a boy with a black hat and somewhat dark skin, accompanied by two girls of similar age, walking toward Yu from the grass in the distance.

"Urushi, Mayuna, Momoka."

Looking at the three little kids appearing before him, a smile appeared on Yu's fair face. "It's you guys."

All three of them were Yu's companions at the Konoha Orphanage, but they had been taken in by the orphanage earlier than him.

"I really don't get why you work so hard at training every day!"

Watching Yu silently packing up the shuriken and kunai on the ground, The boy in the black hat muttered with some complaint, "Do you want to become a ninja that badly, just to go to the battlefield and die?"

The boy's name was Urushi.

He was the childhood companion and 'older brother' of Yakushi Kabuto in the original Naruto plot.

The girl with long light-brown hair next to him was Mayuna, and the girl with short dark-brown hair was Momoka.

The three brats were all the same age as Yu, and they were the friends he was closest to at the Konoha Orphanage.

Thump!!

Sure enough, before Urushi could finish his unpleasant remark, he received a sharp rap on the head from Momoka beside him.

"Idiot! Do you think Yu lacks talent as a ninja just like you?!"

Momoka chattered on, lecturing Urushi, "The director has been teaching you for so long and you still haven't managed to refine your chakra, yet Yu succeeded in less than a year!"

"Damn it, Momoka, don't think I don't know!"

Crouching on the ground in pain while clutching his head, Urushi looked unconvinced. "You just think Yu is handsome, that's all!!"

"You should know that I'm a genius!"

As he spoke, Urushi flashed a confident, toothy grin. "I'll be able to surpass Yu with just a little bit of effort!!"
