In Hidden Cloud: Starting with a Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Author: Naruto Newbie Village
He had transmigrated to the world of Naruto, been born in Hidden Cloud Village, and started with a Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
[Ding~ You participated in the night the Land of Whirlpools was wiped out and obtained the Door-Door Fruit!] [Ding~ You participated in the Second Shinobi World War and obtained advanced Armament Haki: Ryuo!] [Ding~ You defeated Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya and gave them the title of Three Sannin. You obtained the Fusion Fruit!]
And so, a monster of Hidden Cloud Village was born, possessing the pinnacle of all three types of Haki and countless Devil Fruit abilities.
On the battlefield, Yeyue Ziyun looked down at the Uchiha Clan's Complete Body Susanoo and smiled grimly.
"Susanoo, the power of a god? Let's see whether your Susanoo is bigger or my Fusion Fruit is!"
"Izanagi makes you immortal? Try my Time Fruit!"
"Yellow Flash? Are you as fast as my Glint-Glint Fruit?"
"Rinnegan's Universal Pull? Try my Dark-Dark Fruit! Dark Hole!"
"Ten-Tails, you beast, wait..."
Hidden Cloud Village, ninja academy.
"Yeyue Ziyun, congratulations on graduating..." A Hidden Cloud chunin took out a genin forehead protector he had prepared earlier and handed it to the handsome youth named Yeyue Ziyun standing before him.
"Thank you, Teacher Qingyi. I'll be sure to bring glory to Hidden Cloud Village."
Ziyun accepted the forehead protector and put it on under the eager gazes of everyone around him, adding a touch of heroic bearing to his already handsome face.
His classmates immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers.
"Ziyun graduated..."
"I'll be sure to follow in your footsteps... Ziyun!"
"Hidden Cloud Village's genius, you have to bring plenty of glory to the village!"
Boys and girls alike were overwhelmingly fond of the handsome youth before them.
After all, aside from his looks, this handsome young man from the Yeyue Lineage had a reputation throughout Hidden Cloud Village: he was its greatest ninjutsu genius!
He was called the best in Hidden Cloud Village because, aside from his ability to grasp ninjutsu as soon as he was taught, Yeyue Ziyun also had a talent for creating ninjutsu of his own.
As of now, the people of Hidden Cloud Village knew of three ninjutsu that Ziyun had created himself.
First was the wondrous ninjutsu called Finger Pistol, which required no hand seals.
By concentrating the strength of his entire body in his index finger, he could unleash a lightning-fast strike with his hardened finger. It was powerful enough to pierce a large tree, with destructive power comparable to a B-rank ninjutsu.
Moreover, this ninjutsu required no hand seals, making it even more formidable when combined with Hidden Cloud's ninjutsu-taijutsu.
And according to Ziyun, the Finger Pistol he had created was still incomplete and needed improvement.
Once perfected, a single finger would be enough to pierce rock or even steel.
Next was a body flicker technique called Shave, which allowed him to move so quickly that it had the effect of teleportation. Its speed could even rival a powerful jonin using Lightning Release chakra.
Then there was the taijutsu called Iron Body. By pumping strength into a well-trained body, he could make it as hard as iron, allowing him to withstand swords and kunai. In the terms of the Naruto world, it could withstand ninjutsu used by ninja below jonin level.
Its one drawback was that he couldn't move while using Iron Body.
Thanks to these ninjutsu, although Ziyun had yet to graduate, he had already earned the title of Hidden Cloud Village's greatest genius.
To have such talent at so young an age, he was probably more impressive than Tobirama Senju had been at the same age.
Of course, Ziyun couldn't have created these three ninjutsu out of thin air. He had obtained them by completing system missions during his many years in Hidden Cloud Village. The three techniques were Shave, Finger Pistol, and Iron Body from the Navy Six Powers in One Piece.
That was right. Ziyun was a transmigrator, and he had been in Hidden Cloud Village for ten years.
As a member of the Yeyue Clan, Hidden Cloud Village's largest clan, Ziyun was not the Third Raikage's biological son. In terms of seniority, he should have called the Third Raikage uncle.
As for Ziyun's parents, they had already given their lives for Hidden Cloud Village.
Fortunately, the Third Raikage treated Ziyun as his own. Whether it was food, clothing, housing, transportation, or ninjutsu resources, Ziyun received exactly the same as his son, the future Fourth Raikage of the original story.
When Ziyun first learned that he had transmigrated to Hidden Cloud Village rather than the Uchiha Clan in Konoha, he had been a little disappointed.
After all, that might have meant he would never have a chance to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Rinnegan, or cheat-like ninjutsu such as Flying Thunder God and the Eight Gates in this lifetime.
But after living in Hidden Cloud Village for so many years, Ziyun's feelings toward it had changed.
Unlike Konoha, although it couldn't compare with the wealthy and powerful village in terms of economy, climate, or ninjutsu resources, its people were honest and straightforward.
The Third Raikage, who governed the village, was fair and resolute. He treated everyone equally and never resorted to underhanded tricks.
This could be seen from the fact that, aside from the Gold and Silver Brothers, Hidden Cloud Village had almost no rogue ninja in the original story.
If one had to choose the most united of the five great ninja villages, it would undoubtedly be Hidden Cloud Village.
Besides, it was still decades before the original story's timeline, and the Second Shinobi World War had yet to begin... If he had transmigrated to Konoha at this time, he wouldn't have dared display any talent at all. Otherwise, those two scheming bastards Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura would surely have plotted against him.
But things were different in Hidden Cloud Village. As soon as Ziyun demonstrated Shave, the Third Raikage summoned him.
Upon learning that Ziyun had created the ninjutsu himself, the Third Raikage was overjoyed. He even allocated funds to build Ziyun a private laboratory where he could research all sorts of strange ninjutsu.
Ziyun subsequently "researched" Finger Pistol, which made the Third Raikage even more excited... He immediately concluded that Ziyun might one day surpass Tobirama Senju, the inventor of countless S-rank forbidden techniques.
So, for Ziyun's graduation ceremony today, the Third Raikage himself had come to the ninja academy to cheer him on. But as soon as Ziyun received his forehead protector, he returned to his laboratory, and the Third Raikage didn't even catch a glimpse of him.
"That Ziyun probably went to the laboratory. I heard he's been tinkering with some strange ninjutsu experiment again these past few days. He's been living at the laboratory every day, and I haven't seen him come home in a long time."
Nearby, Dodai, an elite jonin trusted by the Third Raikage, scratched his head and explained to him apologetically.
"It's all right, it's all right. Don't disturb him for the next few days... And strengthen the Anbu protection while you're at it."
Far from being angry that Ziyun hadn't greeted him, the Third Raikage beamed.
For Hidden Cloud Village to produce such a genius was a blessing from heaven.
The Third Raikage was also eager to see what new ninjutsu Ziyun would develop this time.
The Third Raikage had arranged for Anbu to patrol and inspect the area around the laboratory twenty-four hours a day. Unlike Konoha Village, of course, he wasn't using the Anbu to spy on anyone. They were genuinely there to guard the laboratory.
A few years earlier, ninja from other villages had attempted to raid the laboratory and steal the wondrous ninjutsu Ziyun had created. Fortunately, they hadn't caused any major losses.
After all, even if they had stolen them, they wouldn't have been able to learn them. These taijutsu couldn't be mastered through chakra control alone.
Even so, the Third Raikage had strengthened the laboratory's protection and laid down a rule.
Without Ziyun's permission, no one was allowed to enter the laboratory. Even the Third Raikage himself observed the rule.
Of course, Ziyun remembered all the care and support the Third Raikage had given him, and he was determined to adapt the Navy Six Powers into ninjutsu-taijutsu suitable for ninja to learn.
If the Navy Six Powers could truly be combined with Hidden Cloud Village's unique ninjutsu-taijutsu, then Hidden Cloud Village would no longer have any genin. Even its weakest ninja would be at chunin level!
So Ziyun had been busy adapting those two of the Six Powers these past few days. This time, however, he had come to the laboratory for something else.
After entering the laboratory, Ziyun immediately took a fruit covered in spiral patterns and imbued with the deep aura of the sea out of his system space.
Yes, this was a Devil Fruit from the world of One Piece.
Just now, after Ziyun received his genin forehead protector, the system had sent him a check-in reward: the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host on becoming a genin of Hidden Cloud Village. You have received the Rumble-Rumble Fruit as a reward.]
At first, Xuanye hadn't known what fruit it was either. Only when he checked the system message did he discover that it was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Even in the world of One Piece, this fruit was unquestionably a top-tier Devil Fruit.
It had tremendous destructive power and could release high-voltage currents to attack at any time. It could also increase the user's speed, allowing movement as fast as lightning, extend the range of Observation Haki with radio waves, and even revive the user with an electric shock.
All in all, it was an overpowered fruit that combined defense and destructive power.
Unfortunately, the fruit's original owner, Enel, had run into his natural enemy, the protagonist Wang Luffy, and was defeated.
In truth, Enel had simply been too weak. Of the three types of Haki, only his Observation Haki was anything remarkable. If Akainu had possessed this fruit, he could presumably have killed Luffy with a single punch.
"System, can I give this fruit to someone else to eat?" Ziyun asked after receiving the fruit.
Rewards like this were generally granted directly to the host, but this time it had been given to him in the form of a fruit, hence his question.
"Of course you can, but if someone else eats it, they'll suffer the side effect of being vulnerable to seawater... And if they eat two, they'll explode."
The system's voice was pleasant, not mechanical at all. It was a soft, alluring female voice, as lovely as heavenly music, making one wonder what kind of beauty could have such a voice.
"From what you're saying, there won't be any side effects if I eat it, and I won't explode even if I eat two?"
Ziyun had caught the implication in the system's words.
"Of course not!"
After hearing the system's explanation, Ziyun was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected it to have such a function.
Of course, Ziyun had no intention of giving the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to anyone else. After all, these were not peaceful times. The major ninja villages had spent over a decade recovering after the First Shinobi World War, and the militant factions in each village were gradually gaining influence.
The Second Shinobi World War would probably begin before long.
Although Hidden Cloud Village hadn't participated in the Second Shinobi World War in the original story, things were different this time.
Hidden Cloud Village had to develop sooner or later. Moreover, because of his transmigration, he had brought it the two ninjutsu Finger Pistol and Shave, which had also caused the Third Raikage's thinking to shift.
Recently, Hidden Cloud Village had been throwing itself into an arms race, and ninja of elite chunin rank and above were undergoing intensive training in Finger Pistol.
The Third Raikage had presumably sensed that the atmosphere of war was brewing as well. Once war broke out, he would most likely lead Hidden Cloud Village into battle too.
Therefore, Ziyun had to increase his strength as soon as possible. He didn't need to overpower everyone, but he at least needed the strength to protect himself.
As long as he ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, its Logia elemental transformation alone would make Ziyun immune to ninety percent of the ninja world's ninjutsu, giving him the strength to protect himself.
