I developed the devil fruit seal in Naruto

Chapter 15 Mission
Uchiha Itachi walked out of the Hokage Building.

The scorching sun outside made him a little uncomfortable as he had been living in darkness for so many years.

He squinted his eyes slightly to let them adjust to the sunlight, and the image of Uchiha Qiong appeared in his mind.

That guy actually dared to use Sasuke to threaten him. Was what happened to Danzo also done by that guy?

It seems that in addition to his father who has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he has another difficult enemy that he needs to pay special attention to.

That's right, after making sure that the Uchiha could not give up the idea of ​​a coup, for the sake of the stability of the village and the overall situation, Uchiha Itachi had already regarded the entire Uchiha clan as enemies.

The only exception is his younger brother Sasuke.

"Itachi, long time no see. You haven't been in the team these days. Where have you been?"

A figure was walking towards them. The person with the iconic mask and silver hair was none other than Kakashi Hatake, the monitor of ANBU Team 6.

When Itachi joined the Anbu, he was assigned to Kakashi's class.

Kakashi also doubted the meaning of life and wandered on the edge of darkness because of a series of blows including his father's suicide, Obito's death, and the death of Rin and Minato. He even almost assassinated the Sandaime under the instigation of Danzo.

Itachi repeated this word in his heart, thought about it and said:

"So, Mr. Kakashi, can I ask you a question?"

once Upon a time.

Kakashi didn't know that his encouragement made Itachi even more obsessed.

"Ask whatever you want, as long as I can answer it."

He was silent for a long time, then said slowly:
"At first, I didn't understand why my father did that. Later, a friend made me understand that giving up the mission to save a companion is a hero, not a coward. So, in my mind, my father still lives on as a hero."

Kakashi didn't expect Itachi to ask this question.

"Mr. Kakashi." Itachi straightened his expression in an instant, making it impossible for anyone to see anything unusual. "I accept the order from the Hokage and am going to perform other tasks. Sorry."

Companion?

……

He felt that Itachi must be hiding a lot of things in his heart. As the captain and as a senior, he wanted to give Itachi some encouragement and help.

"I see." Kakashi nodded and said, "You are the youngest member of my team. If you encounter any difficulties in making a decision, you can ask me for help. Don't forget that we are companions."

It was precisely because of these experiences that Kakashi was able to keenly see some clues from Itachi.

"Regarding the fact that Sakumo-senpai chose to commit suicide because of criticism many years ago, I would like to hear your opinion as a son. If this brings back bad memories for you, please forgive me for being so presumptuous."

But he really didn't want to go that far unless it was absolutely necessary.

The Uchiha clan, which has also been criticized, is far from having the great magnanimity of Senior Sakumo. Not only that, they even want a coup and try to ascend to the position of Hokage by force.

however.

In Itachi's opinion, Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo, was a hero because he chose to commit suicide for the village.

Such a sharp contrast between the two made a certain terrible thought in Itachi's mind become even clearer.

Although he has not completely gotten over the pain of the past, he now has enough reason and courage to face it and will not let himself fall into extremes.

……

At Uchiha Kyon's house.

Yashiro and Tetsuka kept their promise and asked a member of the security team to deliver 10 million ryo.

Qiong took it with a smile on his face and said:

"Go back and tell Lord Yashiro and Senior Tiehuo that I noticed that Uchiha Itachi went to the Hokage's office. The content of today's family meeting may have been known to the village leaders."

"Itachi is a traitor!" The guard member who delivered the money cursed angrily.

Close the door.

Uchiha Kyon took out all the money he had.

The five million from Jing Tian, ​​the one hundred and twenty-three million from Danzo, and the ten million just sent by the clan, add up to a total of one hundred and thirty-eight million taels.

He only planned to use a small portion of the money to pay off the monthly mortgage, and the rest would be used to buy devil fruits and the necessary raw materials for research.

"First pay 79 million to buy the Phoenix Fruit."

Uchiha Qiong opened the system mall.

Pay. The next second, a strange fruit with a spiral pattern appeared in his palm.

Uchiha Kyon took the Phoenix Fruit and entered the tunnel, and after many twists and turns, he arrived at the underground laboratory left by Orochimaru.

The broken petri dishes on both sides of the basement corridor represent a half-grown child who died due to the failure of the transplant of columnar cells.

The white human-shaped or branch-like objects on the ground are the remains of Hashirama's cells.

When Uchiha Kyon first discovered this place, he was shocked by these things, but now he is no longer surprised.

He walked straight into the innermost research room.

Turn on the lights.

Various scrolls were placed in a mess, and the big hole in the wall that he had smashed last time was still there.

Uchiha Kyon first touched the floor beneath his feet.

This is a simple mechanism he set up. If someone steps on it, an arrow will immediately shoot out from the round hole on the top of the head.

Seeing that no one had been here before, he felt relieved, walked to the experimental table, and began to develop the Phoenix Curse.

"The Phoenix Fruit is a mythical animal of the animal type, just like the Blue Dragon Fruit. This time it shouldn't take another five years."

Uchiha Qiong thought in his heart.

Although he was the one who developed the Devil Fruit Seal technique, he only had one successful experience after all, so it was difficult to guarantee that he could successfully integrate the Phoenix Seal in one go.

What's more, each devil fruit has different characteristics, and even those in the same series have huge differences. For example, can Chopper's Human-Human Fruit and Luffy's Human-Human Fruit be the same?

To extract the different abilities and energies contained in different fruits, the methods may also need to be changed.

He calmed down, cut off a small piece of Phoenix Fruit with a scalpel, opened his Sharingan to use it as a microscope, and tried to extract the power of the Phoenix.

Time passed by minute by minute.

There is no sunlight in the basement, only high-wattage incandescent lamps are always on.

After an unknown amount of time, the small piece of Phoenix Fruit in Uchiha Kyon's hand suddenly turned into ashes.

"It turns out that it is not possible to extract the Phoenix Fruit by following the process of extracting the power of the Azure Dragon Fruit."

Although he had expected this, Uchiha Kyon still couldn't help but sigh.

He had no choice but to gradually improve his methods.

It was late at night in a blink of an eye.

With the extraordinary physical strength and recovery ability bestowed by the mythical beast Azure Dragon, Uchiha Kyon can remain energetic even if he does not sleep for ten days and ten nights.

He worked day and night, determined to extract the power of the phoenix.

Just as he was competing with himself, a charming and lovely voice sounded in his mind without warning:
"Mr. Qiong, Mr. Qiong, I have a mission with great rewards. Do you want to come with me?"

This voice, which is more beautiful than that of 2D voice actors, naturally belongs to Jing Tian.

The last time they parted, Uchiha Kyon asked Jing Tian to connect to the Yamanaka clan's secret technique of telepathy, which allowed the two to communicate with each other over a long distance, but Jing Tian had to take the initiative to activate the ninjutsu.

Every night, the clingy girl would pester him and talk for a long time, just like the long phone calls between lovers in their previous life.

Uchiha Qiong stopped what he was doing and replied with his mind: "How much is the reward for the mission?"

"Six million taels!"

Even though they were not talking face to face, Uchiha Qiong could still imagine the sweet smile on Jing Tian's face as she spoke, as well as those two charming dimples.

"Six million taels is quite a lot, even for an S-level mission."

According to the general rules of the ninja world, only the commission fee for S-level missions will exceed one million taels.

Uchiha Qiong agreed without much hesitation: "Okay, I'll go. But is there any problem with the village? Will the village be willing to entrust such a high-level mission to Uchiha?"

Given the current tense relationship between Konoha's high-ups and the Uchiha clan, how could they safely allow the Uchiha to participate in S-level missions?

Jing Tian said: "Hehe, since they called you, they must be sure of it. This mission is quite special and does not involve any secrets. Moreover, the captain leading the team is the son of the Sandaime."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's son, Sarutobi Asuma?

Uchiha Qiong touched his chin, as if he saw 35 million taels waving at him.
