Awakening of the Op-Op Fruit, The First Step of a Great Medical Ninja

Shinobi World.

Konohagakure.

In the empty training ground, the afterglow of the setting sun cast its light over a thin, frail figure.

If I concentrate chakra on the soles of my feet, it will generate an adhesive force...

The boy muttered under his breath, gathered his strength, and bolted toward a large tree ten meters away.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The boy stepped against the trunk and managed four steps before his feet suddenly felt light. Headfirst, he crashed down into a clumsy sprawl. Pain wrung a low groan from him, and he failed to climb back up for a long time.

"Look! It's that shit-producing boy!"

"People in the village say he's a good-for-nothing. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have no choice."

"This guy has been in our village for a year now, yet it's taken him a whole year to master the most basic tree-climbing. It's mind-bogglingly stupid. It only took me about half a month when I started."

"No wonder they call him a good-for-nothing. In the year since Lord Minato brought him back, aside from eating and drinking, this guy just shits and pisses. He hasn't learned a single ninjutsu, and they say he's practiced taijutsu for a year without even being able to kill a chicken. What a waste of our village's food..."

"Ignore him, let's hurry up and leave. Otherwise, if someone sees us later, they'll think we associate with him, and we can forget about holding our heads high at the academy."

Several boys giggled and mocked as they looked at the pathetic figure in the distance, gloating as they walked away together.

The boy turned a deaf ear to the taunts, grabbed the tree, and slowly pushed himself up.

Such mockery was already second nature to him.

At first he would grow angry and retort, but after a year, he had learned to let it go in one ear and out the other.

He did not actually belong to this world, and Long Ye was the name he adopted after arriving here.

In his past life, he was a surgeon. Once, while invited to a medical lecture abroad, his plane crashed halfway, plunging into the vast ocean.

The ocean crash was the final image burned into his mind. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in an unfamiliar world, and even his own body felt alien.

At the time, it took him a very long time to accept the fact that he had transmigrated.

As for this body of his, the remaining memories were extremely limited, revealing only that he came from a destroyed island nation, while all other memories were lost.

It was right around then that he encountered a man wearing a shinobi headband, who brought him back to the village.

Only later did he learn that this man was Minato Namikaze.

When he later figured out that he had come to the world of Naruto, astonishment gave way mostly to excitement.

In his previous life, he had been a fan of Naruto, and had countless fantasies about being born into such a world and mastering those unimaginable ninjutsu. He never expected that one day his dream would actually come true.

Yet blows followed one after another. This body of his was utterly frail; in the parlance of the Shinobi World, he possessed a born-loser physique.

Ninjutsu failed a hundred tries, and taijutsu was beyond redemption. Just as those who mocked him said, apart from eating, drinking, and excreting, he had virtually no redeeming qualities.

Damn it! Isn't God just messing with me?

Bang!!!

Long Ye slammed his fist hard against the tree trunk.

Piercing pain spread from his palm all the way up his arm, causing him to lose control of his facial expressions as they twisted into a ferocious grimace.

If you're going to make me transmigrate here, at least give me some capital to survive! Based on my knowledge of the Shinobi World's history, the Third Shinobi World War is imminent. Once the war breaks out, what am I supposed to rely on to survive in the cracks between these factions?

Just as Long Ye felt that his world was pitch black, a completely emotionless voice suddenly rang out in his mind:

[Willpower requirement met, Ultimate Demon System awakening...]

What? A system?

Long Ye, who had been plunged into despair only a moment before, stood frozen in place. Happiness had arrived so abruptly that it felt somewhat unreal.

At that exact moment, the system's voice sounded once more:

[Please choose the Devil Fruit ability you wish to possess. You only have a single chance to choose, and once selected, it cannot be changed...]

D-Devil Fruit ability?

Long Ye blinked with a bewildered look on his face.

Right then, an illusory panel appeared in his mind. The panel was densely packed with patterns, and upon closer inspection, one would find that

without exception, they were images of Devil Fruits.

[Bomb-Bomb Fruit, String-String Fruit, Flame-Flame Fruit, Dark-Dark Fruit...]

Scanning down the list, Long Ye found there were actually several hundred of them.

It really is a Devil Fruit. After I choose, I can truly possess the ability of this fruit?

Long Ye suppressed the excitement rising in his heart.

Without a second thought, the very first ability that popped into his mind was the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, hailed as the strongest Paramecia fruit.

After all, the person who possessed this Devil Fruit ability was known in the Pirate World as the strongest man in the world, and this power was even said to be capable of destroying the world.

Just as he unhesitatingly intended to choose this Devil Fruit, the system's voice sounded once again:

[Devil Fruits have no superiority or inferiority, and abilities have no strength or weakness. What determines strength is the person who develops the fruit's ability; the one that suits you best is the strongest. Please choose your Devil Fruit with care.]

Hearing this reminder, Long Ye was just about to make his choice when he forcibly choked it back.

"That's right, the strength of a Devil Fruit ultimately depends on the user themselves. Whitebeard having the Tremor-Tremor Fruit makes him invincible, but that doesn't mean I can be just like him."

A basin of cold water poured down, making Long Ye calm right back down.

"What suits oneself is the strongest. What kind of Devil Fruit suits me?"

He calmed his heart and began searching through them one by one.

"Huh?"

Long Ye let out a startled cry.

He saw a "heart-shaped" Devil Fruit.

"Op-Op Fruit!"

"Even this kind of fruit exists?"

Long Ye's excitement was unstoppable.

In his past life, he was a surgeon, so he could be said to be extremely compatible with this fruit.

And most importantly, based on his understanding of Devil Fruits, the strength of this fruit was, to a certain extent, superior even to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

In the Pirate World, some called it the ultimate Devil Fruit, with its bounty reaching a maximum of three billion.

Possessing this fruit allowed one to perform surgery at will, and even dismember living people into dozens of pieces, then piece them back together according to one's own will.

What truly excited Long Ye was that he was in the Shinobi World, and the Shinobi World had an ability called Kekkei Genkai. With the Devil Fruit Power of the Op-Op Fruit, he could easily transplant these Kekkei Genkai onto his own body.

Sharingan, Rinnegan, Shikotsumyaku, Storm Release, Magnet Release...

I am indeed not a genius in ninjutsu, but other people are, and that is already enough!

I choose the Op-Op Fruit!

[Op-Op Fruit selected. Awakening Devil Fruit Power...]

Amidst Long Ye's nervous waiting, a white dot suddenly flashed on his forehead. The white dot was like a pen tip, drawing a five-pointed star pattern in a single stroke, and the pattern looked like a brand.
