"Boom!"

Suddenly, a dull roar echoed within Yun Xi's mind.

At the same time, his body began to undergo some changes.

Previously, when he had strengthened his body, there hadn't been any unexpected manifestations, but as soon as he activated the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, a surge of fiery aura instantly erupted from within him.

"What is this power?"

For a moment, Yun Xi was at a loss; after all, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Recalling the settings of the Sharingan from the original series, it seemed that such a phenomenon had never occurred.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, a bold idea crossed his mind.

In truth, Yun Xi had experienced the inexplicable appearance of a fiery aura within his body before.

However, that had only happened after he consumed the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Previously, he hadn't associated the Sharingan with the Flame-Flame Fruit.

But looking at the current situation, it seemed the two were somewhat connected.

After all, one was an item from One Piece, while the other belonged to the Hokage world.

Combining the two might just trigger some miraculous chemical reaction.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi did not hesitate.

On one hand, he kept the Sharingan activated, while on the other, he continuously channeled the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit within him.

Sure enough, the result was far from what Yun Xi had expected.

With the Sharingan active, he could clearly feel the fiery power within his body becoming more potent. At the same time, after he intentionally pushed for them to merge, these two powers—which originally belonged to different systems—actually began to converge!

"Who would have thought that a Devil Fruit and the Sharingan could produce such a chemical reaction?"

If Yun Xi's initial intention upon obtaining the Flame-Flame Fruit had been merely to use it as a trump card, then after witnessing this scene, a different thought began to stir in his heart.

In the lore of One Piece, the Flame-Flame Fruit belongs to the Logia class of Devil Fruits, which are also the most powerful type.

Using such a fruit grants the user the ability to control natural elements.

However, the power within a Devil Fruit is not fixed; it is a force that can change at will.

In reality, the extent to which a Devil Fruit's power can be unleashed depends on the strength of the user themselves.

Powerhouses like Kizaru and Akainu, high-ranking officials at Marine Headquarters, also utilize Logia-type Devil Fruits.

By relying on the power granted to them by these fruits, they possess strength capable of destroying the world.

Yet, when Yun Xi used the Flame-Flame Fruit, he could only use it to amplify the power of his fire-style ninjutsu.

The gap between the two was even greater than Yun Xi had imagined.

But Yun Xi was not particularly resistant to this fact.

He knew that the power within any Devil Fruit required training to be fully mastered.

Essentially, the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit was quite straightforward.

It allowed the user to turn any part of their body into fire and freely shape the flames they created into any form, such as fire nets or fire-fist attacks.

It was similar to the fire-style ninjutsu of the Hokage world, but the combat style was different.

Most fire-style ninjutsu in the Hokage world were long-range attacks, utilizing wide-area damage to eliminate enemies.

The combat style of the Flame-Flame Fruit, however, was more akin to close-quarters combat.

Originally, Yun Xi had planned to learn the Eight Inner Gates and pair it with the Flame-Flame Fruit.

But now that he realized the Sharingan and the Flame-Flame Fruit could trigger such a miraculous chemical reaction, he had to rethink his combat strategy.

"If I can fully master the Eight Inner Gates, pairing it with the powerful Flame-Flame Fruit and the trait of immunity to close-quarters damage would actually be a decent choice..."

"But..."

"The way the Sharingan and the Flame-Flame Fruit pair together is somewhat..."

For a moment, Yun Xi was caught in a dilemma.

The root cause of Yun Xi's hesitation was, ultimately, that the Fire Style ninjutsu in the world of Hokage were simply too weak.

According to the lore of Hokage, Fire Style was supposed to be the most offensive of the five elemental ninjutsu...

But...

In Yun Xi's memory.

There didn't seem to be any truly powerful Fire Style techniques...

Take Fire Style: Blast Wave Wild Dance, for example.

It was the first technique Uchiha Obito used after his mask was shattered.

Furthermore, it was a Fire Style technique that worked in tandem with the Mangekyou Sharingan, utilizing the Mangekyou Sharingan's Kamui to create a spiral-shaped whirlwind, followed by exhaling flames into that space to unleash a wide-range, offensive Fire Style attack.

Uchiha Obito himself even declared it the most powerful Fire Style technique within the Uchiha clan.

Yet, despite such high praise, this Fire Style technique was officially rated as only a B-rank ninjutsu in the Hokage setting.

How could Yun Xi accept the reality of relying on the Fire Style of the Hokage world as his primary means of attack?

However...

After seeing that the power within the Flame-Flame Fruit could merge with the power of the Sharingan, Yun Xi didn't want to just give up like that...

"Let's give it a try..."

After pondering for a long time, Yun Xi still hadn't made a final decision.

Glancing at the pitch-black night surrounding him, Yun Xi decided to find a place to test just how powerful the fusion of the Sharingan and the Flame-Flame Fruit truly was!

Once decided, Yun Xi headed straight out.

Ten minutes later, Yun Xi arrived in the depths of the mountains behind Konoha, in a clearing near the Forest of Death.

After confirming there were no strangers around, Yun Xi immediately prepared for the experiment!

"Sharingan!"

"Activate!"

"Next is to mobilize the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit..."

Yun Xi first activated his Sharingan, then channeled the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit within his body.

In an instant, the same situation as before manifested on Yun Xi.

And this time, because Yun Xi had released the full extent of both powers, the aura of flames displayed was even more intense than before.

Even Yun Xi's skin began to turn slightly red from the intense heat...

"I have to be quick, or I won't be able to maintain this state for long..."

Realizing that he couldn't withstand such power for an extended period, Yun Xi didn't waste any more time; after bringing his body to its optimal state, he acted.

Yun Xi gathered his chakra, simultaneously infusing it with the power of the flames!

Then, Yun Xi formed the hand seals...

"Fire Style!"

"Great Fireball Technique!"

After Yun Xi released the Great Fireball Technique, the previously pitch-black surroundings instantly became incredibly bright!

And at this moment, the Great Fireball Technique released by Yun Xi was no longer its original self...

Rather than calling what Yun Xi released a great fireball.

It would be more accurate to call it a small sun...
