Chapter 242: Devil Fruit Evolution

Konoha, the Uchiha Clan compound, a villa with no small footprint—this is where Uchiha Feiyu resides.

If an uninformed ninja were to walk into the main hall of Uchiha Feiyu's room, they would surely be shocked, and not because of the luxurious decorations inside, but because in this very room, the four Shadows of the current four great Ninja Villages were gathered!

Mizukage Terumi Mei, Raikage Yugito, Hokage Tsunade, and Kazekage Pakura; not only them, but also Uzumaki Kushina and Temari, women who hold high positions or are even heirs within the four great Ninja Villages.

These beauties were all wearing nothing but transparent, provocative silk robes, looking charming and alluring, surrounding Uchiha Feiyu who sat in the middle, chattering away.

"So, Feiyu, you are planning to let that little girl Kurotsuchi rebuild the Rock Ninja?"

"Indeed. For some time now, although the number of ninjas in the various Ninja Villages has increased rapidly, their strength has grown very slowly, and they haven't even been able to fully realize their own potential. That is why I intend to let Iwagakure act as a catfish to stimulate the other Ninja Villages."

Uchiha Feiyu said this while holding Tsunade in his arms, reaching out to measure her headlights.

"Hmph, is that really the case?"

Tsunade said huffily, glancing at Kurotsuchi, who was lying at Uchiha Feiyu's feet, her face flushed and excited, looking like a small animal.

Feeling the moisture on his toes, Uchiha Feiyu said with a look of righteousness:

"Of course that is the case. Could there be any other reason?"

"Hee hee..." Terumi Mei leaned into Uchiha Feiyu's ear and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft:

"Isn't it because that little girl serves you every day, and is even willing to be your night pot and toilet paper, satisfying your male chauvinism?"

Everyone in this room was a sharp-eared ninja; although Terumi Mei's voice was not loud, everyone heard it clearly, and one by one, their faces turned red with shame.

A look of annoyance appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face, and he grabbed Terumi Mei fiercely, making her unable to help but let out a cry of pain, though the expression on her face carried a hint of a flush, and after she finished groaning, she giggled.

Kurotsuchi, lying at Uchiha Feiyu's feet, raised her head, feeling somewhat unconvinced, and whispered:

"Aren't you all the same? Although I was the first, after that, which one of you hasn't been... hasn't been... a night pot and toilet paper for Lord Feiyu?"

"You're courting death! How can you two say such things?"

"Yeah... this kind of thing..."

"What's wrong with this kind of thing? Everyone has done it anyway, what is there to be shy about? It's as if you haven't tasted the Holy Water and the chrysanthemum..."

"Damn it, watch me tear your mouth, Kurotsuchi..."

"Sisters, help me pin down Terumi Mei!"

Kurotsuchi's words made these female ninjas even more enraged and ashamed. With Uchiha Feiyu's progress in Demonic Path techniques like the Heavenly Demon Secret, these female ninjas had completely lost their minds, lowering their standards further and further to compete for favor, acting more and more recklessly.

But having these things said out loud was still too much for many of the female ninjas to bear, and a group of them immediately became noisy, descending into a chaotic mess.

Feeling himself being squeezed back and forth by a group of female ninjas, Uchiha Feiyu immediately raised his eyebrows; they were not taking him seriously!

The final result of the frolicking was that the group of female ninjas all ended up in a state of "righteousness." Through some small techniques for sharing perception within the Joyous Union Canon, even with their large numbers, these female ninjas were crushed and defeated.

After relaxing, Uchiha Feiyu re-entered the space of the Book of Demonic Inheritance and sacrificed tens of thousands of Black Qi, wanting to obtain techniques that could be used in the One Piece World.

"Uh... this is... the cultivation method of the Yang God World? The Sutra of the Present Tathagata, the Sutra of the Past Amitabha, the Future Unborn Sutra?"

"Will this stuff fit the cultivation of the One Piece World? Humans in the One Piece World don't have acupoints, the world itself doesn't have the concept of Lightning Tribulation, and there is no such thing as Faith Power... where would one cultivate such techniques?"

"And aren't these three scriptures the supreme learning of the orthodox Buddhist sect? How did they become Demonic Path techniques?"

However, it seemed that the Book of Demonic Inheritance knew of Uchiha Feiyu's confusion, and as it poured the information into Uchiha Feiyu's brain, it also gave him some explanations:

First is the explanation of Demonic Path techniques—there is no such thing as orthodox techniques in the Yang God World. After all, that world was created by a certain cannibalistic cultivation tycoon. It was fine when the cultivation level was low, but once the realm was higher, it was all about eating people. Even the original Poxun would have to say "good fellow" if he came.

As for why these three techniques are suitable for the One Piece World, it is actually very simple—whether it is the Yang Spirit Immortal Dao or the Human Immortal Martial Arts, it is only after reaching the Martial Saint and Ghost Immortal realms that one needs the cooperation of individual physique and the external environment.

Before that, it is purely about tempering the flesh and soul, which is basically a technique that works in the vast majority of worlds. What the Book of Demonic Inheritance provided is this part of the cultivation method.

As long as one has a flesh-and-blood body, the martial arts of tempering the skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs can be practiced; as long as one has self-awareness and can meditate, the Ghost Immortal Dao can also be practiced.

The One Piece World does not support soul projection, so many of the wonders of the Ghost Immortal cannot be manifested, but once the spirit is strong, it also has a huge bonus to Observation Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and even Life Return and Armament Haki.

The final Future Unborn Sutra does not cultivate the self, but rather condenses incense and faith. It looks completely unrelated to the One Piece World, and that world has no Faith Power.

However, in reality, the One Piece World really does have power related to things like faith—that is the so-called Devil Fruit!

Indeed, the so-called Devil Fruit was born from the faith and expectations of humanity. The cultivation of the Future Unborn Sutra is actually the collection of faith to temper and strengthen one's own Devil Fruit Ability.

Eighty percent of the Black Qi Uchiha Feiyu sacrificed was concentrated on the Future Unborn Sutra, while the Sutra of the Present Tathagata and the Sutra of the Past Amitabha, because they only had the early cultivation methods, at most accounted for ten percent each.

"Speaking of which... perhaps I can promote the Human Immortal Martial Arts and the Yang Spirit Immortal Dao in the Naruto World. Even if they can only reach the realm of Martial Saint and Ghost Immortal, it can greatly improve the quality of the leeks."

"Even if there aren't many geniuses who can reach the Martial Saint and Ghost Immortal realms, even if they just get started and strengthen their bodies and souls, it is of great benefit."

"It's a pity... my cultivation is not high enough, and the hidden dangers of this world have not been completely eradicated. It is still too early to spread the cultivation techniques!"

Giving the humans of the Naruto World some highly universal, weak inheritances was something Uchiha Feiyu had thought of a long time ago. The reason he hadn't done so was actually because of the hidden dangers of the Naruto World—namely the Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths.

These people have already reached the limit on the path of chakra. Apart from collecting more chakra, there is no way to dig for potential. But if they come into contact with other cultivation systems, who knows what kind of sparks will collide?

Don't let the cultivation techniques spread and end up creating an ancestor for himself; then Uchiha Feiyu would be crying.

"So... hurry up and collect more resources in the One Piece World! As long as my cultivation in the Heavenly Demon Secret is sufficient, I will be able to enter the Pure Land. Once I obtain the souls of the Ninja World from the past thousands of years in the Pure Land, those Otsutsuki will no longer be a concern."

If he could really obtain the souls accumulated in the Ninja World over thousands of years, Uchiha Feiyu estimated that never mind the Heavenly Demon Secret, even higher realms could definitely be cultivated successfully. It is just a pity that although he can vaguely feel the location of the Pure Land now, he has no way to enter it.

"So in the end... it still depends on my development in the One Piece World!"

In the One Piece World, after Uchiha Feiyu settled the problem in Alabasta, he had originally planned to leave directly, but the acquisition of these cultivation methods later gave him other ideas.

The Human Immortal Martial Arts and the Yang Spirit Immortal Dao don't need to be mentioned; they just need to be cultivated slowly. However, the cultivation of the Future Unborn Sutra requires Faith Power, and Alabasta is undoubtedly a good place for cultivation.

It is mainly because this place has a large population. Counting the countries on the Grand Line with a population of over ten million, there are probably no more than three. Even looking at the entire One Piece World, a country like Alabasta with tens of millions of people will definitely not exceed ten.

Just in terms of total population, the One Piece World definitely far exceeds the Naruto World, but the countries in this world are completely separated by the ocean, and the vast majority are small island nations. There are almost no countries of the scale of the Five Great Nations in Naruto.

If there really were such super-nations with hundreds of millions of people, there wouldn't be any World Government—those giant nations would occupy a huge advantage in a national alliance like the World Government, eventually forming a monopoly trend like the five rascals of the United Nations.

Although this is just a possibility, the World Government would definitely not tolerate it. Those giant islands with the potential of super-nations are basically split into several countries by the World Government.

So Alabasta has basically reached the population ceiling for countries in the One Piece World, and the population of other countries cannot be much higher.

In addition, there is one more point: Alabasta has just experienced a war, and Uchiha Feiyu has made a great name for himself in this war, and fame is, to a certain extent, the beginning of faith.

So it is actually a very easy thing for Uchiha Feiyu to preach faith here.

The only problem now is... he hasn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet!

And Uchiha Feiyu doesn't know if the defects of the Devil Fruit can be solved with the Future Unborn Sutra, so first, he needs to get an experimental subject.

Such experimental subjects are also easy to find; Alabasta has three: the curly-haired one who ate the Sand-Sand Fruit, and two powerful guards who ate the Jackal Fruit and the Falcon Fruit, respectively.

Needless to say, in Alabasta, a desert country, the Sand-Sand Fruit can surely occupy Faith Power with ease; as for the Jackal Fruit and the Falcon Fruit, these two fruits seem to have a certain connection to Alabasta, and every generation, Alabastan people eat these two fruits to become the country's guards.

Because of this, the users of these two fruits have an extremely high reputation throughout Alabasta, making it very easy to collect Faith Power.

In the end, Uchiha Feiyu chose the Falcon Fruit user, because this Falcon Fruit user is very famous throughout Alabasta, known as Bell the Falcon, and even hailed as the number one expert of the Alabasta Kingdom.

Although in Uchiha Feiyu's eyes, this number one expert of the kingdom is just a weakling, unfortunately, in a place like Alabasta where weaklings peck at each other, he really is the Shogun among the short.

Relying on this reputation, Bell hardly needs to go out and collect any faith to begin practicing the Future Unborn Sutra.

However, Uchiha Feiyu obviously would not hand over the full Future Unborn Sutra to Bell, giving him only a small portion to test the results first.

The Future Unborn Sutra itself belongs to a faith-based cultivation method and originates from a world like Yang God, so it naturally possesses the means to devour the Faith Power of others; the contingency Uchiha Feiyu left behind can ensure that even if the cultivation method spreads, others can only serve as his leeks.

Two weeks passed very quickly.

Early this morning, Uchiha Feiyu arrived at the highest point of the Alabasta Palace and waved at Bell, who was flying in the sky.

The falcon flying in the sky immediately descended from the heavens and landed in front of Uchiha Feiyu; very strangely, surrounding this giant falcon were golden Flame Clouds like the sun, looking very miraculous.

But if those knowledgeable Great Pirates from the New World, or some high-ranking Marine officers were to see this, they would likely scream out loud:

Devil Fruit Awakening!

Bell, who landed in front of Uchiha Feiyu, quickly changed from his falcon state into a half-human, half-falcon form; the golden Flame Clouds circled behind him like a halo, looking extremely radiant.

"How do you feel, Bell?"

Looking at Bell, who had landed before him, Uchiha Feiyu asked quite satisfied, and Bell's face was also full of excitement:

"I never thought... that I would become this strong... not only that, but my Devil Fruit Ability seems to have undergone some changes..."

"Oh? What kind of changes?"

Uchiha Feiyu's expression stirred as he asked, and Bell showed a look of confusion and excitement on his face:

"My vision has become so strong... no, I shouldn't say strong... how should I put it? Even if I don't lift my eyes at all, as long as it is under the illumination of sunlight, I can see everything within several hundred kilometers clearly!"

Uchiha Feiyu's heart stirred:

"Could it be that your Devil Fruit is evolving toward a Mythical Zoan?"

Desert region, guardian deity, falcon—with these connected, Uchiha Feiyu immediately thought of Horus among the Egyptian deities.

This falcon god is most famous for his Eye of Horus; furthermore, he also seems to be considered one of Egypt's sun gods, so it is quite normal to possess this characteristic of being able to see everything clearly under sunlight.

Of course, Bell currently only has a tendency for his Devil Fruit to evolve in that direction and is still a long way from the true form of Horus, but being able to achieve this just by relying on this bit of accumulated faith is already quite astonishing.
