Travel Frog System

Konoha, Year 56, June.

A forest beneath the Naka River.

A dark-haired boy was locked in an intense battle with another version of himself.

"Not enough, not nearly enough! This strength just isn't enough!"

The boy thought with dissatisfaction, This strength only barely measures up to a Chunin's. How am I supposed to survive the Uchiha Clan Downfall Night a month from now?

His name was Uchiha Ye, and he was thirteen years old.

He had transmigrated into this body three months ago.

But when he realized that he'd arrived just one month before the Uchiha Clan Downfall Night, he couldn't stay calm.

With his current strength, he was as good as dead!

Fortunately, on the second day after transmigrating, he'd awakened his own cheat—the Travel Frog System.

As the name suggested, the system sent Froggy off to travel to other worlds.

When Froggy returned, he brought back all sorts of random souvenirs: unusual abilities, powerful weapons, advanced skills, and more.

Each trip lasted anywhere from a week to a year or even two.

With the help of the Travel Frog, he'd obtained the Shadow Clone technique two months ago.

"But how is Shadow Clone supposed to give me the strength to stay alive?"

Right now, he could only just about match a Chunin. He was still far too weak.

"I wonder when Froggy will come back again?"

He stopped, drenched in sweat, and couldn't help sighing. "It's been over two months since it left last time, and there's still been no sign of it."

As he sighed and prepared to leave, a strange synthesized voice rang out in his mind.

[ Ding! Froggy has returned from its travels. Souvenir ready to be claimed. ]

"Claim it!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the space before him began to distort.

A blood-red fruit appeared in Uchiha Ye's hand.

Its surface was patterned with spirals like liquid magma, and it radiated an extremely faint, scorching heat.

The moment he saw the fruit, Uchiha Ye's pupils contracted, and his heart began pounding faster.

Thump!

Thump!

Overjoyed, yet not quite daring to believe it, he swallowed. "Th-this couldn't be the Magma-Magma Fruit, could it?"

Just then, a panel of light appeared before him.

[Item: Magma-Magma Fruit]

[Source: One Piece World]

[Description: The Logia Devil Fruit with the greatest offensive power. At its peak, it can trigger cataclysmic changes in the world. The system has removed the fruit's flaw, so after eating it, you will no longer fear seawater]

Reading the words before him, Uchiha Ye clenched his fist in delight.

"As expected of the system. This is incredible!"

At last, he wouldn't have to live in fear.

[ Froggy is about to set off on a new journey. The host is wished a pleasant life. ]

Uchiha Ye took a deep breath, then bit off a piece of the fruit.

Mmm!

As expected, the taste was indescribable.

But!

"Power is surging through me!"

Uchiha Ye felt his chakra pathways widening and his chakra reserves growing, while the chakra itself became more refined.

It was as if his flesh and blood were burning!

His skin turned red, and scorching steam rose from his body.

Then he began to bubble and gurgle like liquid, giving off the pungent smell of sulfur and smoke.

"So this is...the Magma-Magma Fruit... What an incredible feeling!"

He clenched his fist, feeling as if he could kill an elite Jonin with a single punch.

"Great Eruption!"

Mimicking Sakazuki's stance from his memories, he hurled a concentrated blast of magma with one punch.

The air shrieked.

In the distance, the blast punched a hole through a massive tree that would have taken three people to encircle. Its force carried on, blasting through a second tree before finally petering out.

The vegetation along its path was scorched black by the searing heat. The destructive power was truly astonishing.

"That's almost as powerful as an elite Jonin's Fire Style. Is this the terror of the Magma-Magma Fruit?"

"Not bad at all!"

He'd only just gotten his hands on it, and it was already this powerful.

Just imagine how strong he'd become as he continued to train.

He truly believed he could survive the Uchiha Clan Downfall Night now.

"Then next, I'll need to build up my physique and chakra reserves!"

The more chakra he had and the stronger his body became, the more power he could draw from the fruit.

With the Uchiha Clan under surveillance everywhere, this was the best way to grow stronger without exposing his trump cards.

As for developing his abilities, he could follow Sakazuki's path for the time being.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

He formed Hand Seals and spat out a scorching fireball that blew apart the surrounding trees, covering up the damage caused by the Magma-Magma Fruit.

He wasn't strong enough yet. It was too early to reveal that he possessed another ability.

He didn't want to attract Danzo's attention!

"Still..."

He brushed his fingers over his eyes. "They seem different, too."

When he'd just used the ninjutsu, his perception had felt sharper than ever before.

That was an ability that only awakened with the Sharingan.

"Which means..."

His gaze sharpened as a suspicion formed in his mind.

So he went to the river to confirm his idea.

"Just as I thought. I really did awaken the Sharingan."

Seeing the reflection of his face, with a pair of two-tomoe eyes, he couldn't help grinning. "I didn't expect eating a Devil Fruit to bring this unexpected bonus!"

Now that he'd awakened it, there was no reason not to train with it.

By dusk!

He'd gotten the hang of using his eyes.

Now he was even more confident that he could survive the Uchiha Clan Downfall Night.

He dragged his exhausted body back to the Uchiha Clan.

As an orphan, he lived in the small house his parents had left behind.

The next day!

He continued his grueling training, honing his physique.

But as soon as he arrived, his gaze suddenly turned cold.

All of his training equipment had been deliberately burned and destroyed.

The culprit was a short-haired Uchiha youth of around sixteen or seventeen.

When he saw Uchiha Ye arrive, he wore a look of regret. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your training equipment is such garbage. I only practiced on it a little, and it all broke. You can't blame me, you know."

He grinned, clearly up to no good. "How about this? To show you how sorry I am, let me train with you!"

Without asking whether Uchiha Ye agreed, he charged forward and swung his palm at Uchiha Ye's face.

It was a lie that he wanted to spar. He was really there to humiliate him!

Uchiha Ye frowned and stepped back, his tone unfriendly. "Uchiha Tensho, don't you think you've gone too far?"

"You deliberately destroyed my things. Do you think I don't have a temper?"

Uchiha Tensho had bullied him ever since he was a child.

Three months ago, this body's original owner had been beaten to death after being bullied.

After he'd transmigrated, he'd kept his distance from all the trouble so he could focus on surviving the coming disaster, and found this secluded spot to train.

He hadn't expected the other guy to keep harassing him and push his luck even further.

Was he supposed to put up with this?

"Hahaha, you have a temper?"

Hearing Uchiha Ye's words, Uchiha Tensho scoffed mockingly as if he'd heard a joke. "You? A loser like you?"

His expression turned vicious. "Looks like the lesson I gave you three months ago wasn't enough."

"You thought you could hide from me by finding some secluded place? Hmph. Looks like I'll have to teach you a proper lesson before you learn to behave!"
