Uchiha's Tyranny (New Book—Please Bookmark and Follow)

In the small woods behind the Ninja Academy, dusk was approaching, but Rogge was still obsessively training the powers of the Magma-Magma Fruit.

He knew his performance today had been far too eye-catching. From now on, his life would surely no longer be peaceful. Who knew how many pairs of eyes were watching him from the shadows?

Among all Logia-type Devil Fruits, the Magma-Magma Fruit was undoubtedly among the strongest in terms of attack power.

(The Tremor-Tremor Fruit had the greatest destructive power... Hmm, that didn't seem wrong either?)

The Magma-Magma Fruit allowed its user to transform any part of their body into scorching lava. Its power was terrifying.

Skill—Little Eruption!

Rogge leaped into the air, his lava fists punching out in a rapid barrage like wind and rain.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Countless magma fists poured down from the sky!

In an instant, a massive boulder was blasted to pieces!

Only a layer of scorching lava remained where it had stood.

"Not bad. I'll choose the Magma-Magma Fruit as my permanent ability this year."

Rogge panted lightly and waved his hand, opening the green Devil Fruit system panel.

[Today has been refreshed. Please return tomorrow.]

[Current Skill: Magma-Magma Fruit]

[Historical Skill: Chop-Chop Fruit]

[Would you like to choose between the Magma-Magma Fruit and the Chop-Chop Fruit, making one of them a permanent skill? This option may only be used once per year. Yes/No]

[Chop-Chop Fruit?]

[Magma-Magma Fruit?]

Rogge selected the Magma-Magma Fruit without hesitation, then decisively confirmed it!

[Congratulations, Host. The Magma-Magma Fruit has become your permanent skill.]

[The option to permanently retain a Devil Fruit is now on cooldown!]

[Cooldown: 365 days.]

Rogge closed the green system panel and immediately threw himself back into training.

If developed to its highest level, the Magma-Magma Fruit could even create an endless chain of active volcanoes, permanently altering the local environment and climate!

On Punk Hazard, Akainu and Aokiji had once fought a world-shaking battle over the position of Fleet Admiral, turning the entire island into the bizarre sight of half icebergs and half volcanoes!

Even Oda had once mentioned that volcanic eruptions represented by the Magma-Magma Fruit were one of the three most terrifying natural disasters in reality!

"This little guy is practically a monster!" Even the ANBU ninja secretly observing Rogge from the shadows could not help sighing inwardly.

Following the techniques Akainu had used in his previous life's memories, Rogge trained move by move, constantly familiarizing himself with the Magma-Magma Fruit's formidable powers!

"Flight skill—Jet Engine!"

This was a passive skill of the Magma-Magma Fruit. By turning his body into magma and using the force of lava erupting behind him, he could achieve brief, high-speed flight.

"First skill: Hell Hound!"

He transformed his arm into magma and attacked enemies at close range with lightning speed. That incomparably scorching magma arm could effortlessly pierce an enemy's body while inflicting the terrifying damage of internal explosions!

During the world-famous Paramount War, Ace had died to this very move!

"Second skill: Dog Biting Crimson Lotus!"

He transformed his arm into the shape of a ferocious dog's head. Once unleashed, it tore into enemies like a rabid hound, refusing to stop until it achieved its goal!

"Third skill: Great Eruption!"

He swung a massive lava fist with all his strength, its impact like a volcanic eruption. Its immense power was enough to shatter a twenty-meter-tall boulder in an instant!

Not only that, after striking a target, Great Eruption could burst into countless volcanic projectiles, turning into a wide-area group attack capable of easily killing large numbers of minor enemies!

"Ultimate move—Meteor Volcano!"

He transformed both fists into lava and launched a wave of magma punches toward the sky like soaring firework rockets. Once those magma fists lost their momentum, countless lava fists would rain down from the heavens like meteors!

As an area-of-effect attack, Meteor Volcano could inflict widespread AOE damage. In an instant, the earth would be swallowed by roaring flames and transformed into a sea of fire!

"Seems like I overdid it a little." Rogge rubbed his nose, a trace of embarrassment appearing on his face.

Thick smoke rose from the scorching lava, while the blazing magma surged wildly like untamed horses. Wherever it passed, trees gave off agonized crackling sounds. Thick trunks quickly caught fire under the searing heat, and towering flames shot into the sky as if they wanted to set the heavens ablaze.

Emerald leaves withered in an instant, turning into black ash that drifted away on the wind.

Towering trees fell one after another beneath the violent impact of the lava, like toys roughly knocked over by a giant, utterly powerless to resist.

Even the low bushes were not spared. They were mercilessly swallowed, their once-vibrant green instantly replaced by blazing red.

The ground was scorched blisteringly hot by the lava. The earth cracked apart with chilling cracking sounds, as though the land itself were groaning in pain.

The once peaceful and tranquil woods had now been reduced to a scene of utter devastation.

"Monster! Monster! This kind of terrifying destructive power is probably comparable to the Tailed Beasts!"

"This must be reported to Lord Hokage immediately!" A cat-masked ninja hidden in the distance broke out in a cold sweat. He understood the severity of the matter all too well.

Rogge also realized that the commotion he had caused was far too great. Before long, Konoha patrol ninjas would come to investigate. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to leave at once.

"Stop right there!" A black-haired ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector shouted at Rogge, who was about to flee.

Rogge had no choice but to halt his hurried steps. Frowning deeply, he looked at the newcomer with an unfriendly gaze.

The black-haired ninja flashed forward, landing in front of Rogge and blocking his path. He shouted, "Who are you?"

Rogge was not about to tolerate such an arrogant attitude. He replied coldly, "Before asking someone else's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

The black-haired ninja's face was filled with arrogance. "I'm Uchiha Shu, squad captain of the Konoha Police Force. Now speak. Who exactly are you? Why did you destroy this forest?"

Uchiha Shu had been sent by the Uchiha higher-ups to monitor Rogge. The order they had given him was to recruit Rogge if possible, but if recruitment failed, eliminate him in secret!

"My name is Rogge. I'm a student at the Ninja Academy."

"Why did you destroy Konoha?"

"What?"

"I now suspect that you have been in contact with Hidden Mist Village scouts and spies. Come with me to the Konoha Police Force!"

"You're talking nonsense. Do you have any evidence?" Rogge was furious, fire blazing in his eyes.

Uchiha Shu had long prepared an excuse to make a move. He had come today specifically to pick a fight.

He wanted to use this as a pretext to stomp Rogge beneath his feet!

He was so arrogant because, at this time, nearly every member of the Konoha Police Force belonged to the Uchiha clan.

Konoha's police department and prison had been built together, and the Uchiha clan's primary duty at present was to maintain public order in Konoha.

Rather than calling it Konoha's... Police Force, it would be more accurate to call it the Uchiha's... Police Force.

Many times, even the Hokage's orders were difficult to enforce within the Police Force. Its members only obeyed the clan head's commands and ignored the Hokage's instructions!

The Police Force was practically the Uchiha clan's private army!

"You little brat, are you trying to resist me?" Uchiha Shu looked at Rogge with contempt, his eyes full of disdain.

Rogge's gaze instantly turned cold. This was Konoha, after all. Though the Uchiha clan was quite powerful within the village, he absolutely did not believe Uchiha Shu would dare murder someone in broad daylight!

Did he really think the current Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Hokage's advisor, Danzo Shimura, were so easy to fool?

Rogge suspected that Konoha ANBU ninjas, or perhaps Root ninjas, were hidden nearby at this very moment!

Ever since he had defeated Uchiha Iwa using the Magma-Magma Fruit's powers, he had most likely entered the close surveillance of Konoha's higher-ups!

"Since you refuse to cooperate, I'll have to make a move!" Without another word, Uchiha Shu casually flung a sharp shuriken straight at Rogge's eye!

Damn, was this guy insane?

He actually dared to attack!

The Uchiha clan really was full of lunatics and obsessives!

Rogge nimbly twisted aside to evade the incoming shuriken, then once more transformed his entire body into scorching magma.

Uchiha Shu forcefully pushed off with both feet, gripping another shuriken as he charged at Rogge again.

Rogge did not retreat in the slightest. Raising his magma fist, he resolutely met the attack head-on!
