People with Devil Fruit abilities have a huge flaw, that is, they are afraid of sea water and sea rocks. Although there are no such things as sea rocks in this world, if you are afraid of water, it is still a pain in the ass.
Thinking of this, Yu Ye decided to test it first.
After returning to his home, Yu Ye made a wooden bucket, which was also a prop usually used for bathing. It was very simple.
Since he is an outsider, it would be nice if Konoha could give him a place to live, so the room and equipment were very simple, but Naito didn't mind this.
After filling the barrel with water, he took off his clothes and jumped into the barrel, then squatted down and soaked his whole body in the water.
Although ordinary water is not as restrictive as sea water, in the original book, when a Devil Fruit user takes a bath, their whole body will feel sore and weak.
One second, two seconds...
Until a minute passed, Yu Ye didn't feel any weakness at all!
He stood up suddenly, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Does ordinary water have no side effects at all?"
Although he was pleasantly surprised, Yu Ye was still a little strange and confused.
Because it’s not seawater?
Or……
Thinking of the memory, people who eat devil fruits will be cursed by the sea and become landlubbers.
But that curse is the curse of the One Piece world.
And this is the world of Naruto!
Although I don’t know how that Devil Fruit appeared, there cannot be any curse of the sea in this world, so even if I am afraid of water, I should be afraid of the sea water in the One Piece world.
In other words, the power of this shocking fruit is no longer the so-called devil fruit in this world.
But... to break the boundaries of blood inheritance!
"That's good."
Showing a happy expression.
Next, Yu Ye simply started taking a shower to wash away all the smell of sweat from his body due to practice.
There were too many surprises and surprises today, and he needed to relax and calm down.
And just when Yu Ye finished washing, came out of the barrel, and was about to get dressed.
Squeak!
There was a soft sound, and the door of Yuye's house was suddenly pushed open.
A little red-haired head came out and looked inside.
She is a very familiar character, Uzumaki Kushina.
"Yu Ye, are you at home...uh?!"
The sound stopped suddenly.
Uzumaki Kushina, who was only eight or nine years old at this time, had a small face that instantly froze.
"Well……"
Yu Ye was also a little dazed.
Because it was just to test whether he was afraid of water, I didn't lock the door.
Of course, this is not the main problem. The main problem is... It is already dark. How could he expect that this girl Kushina would suddenly come to his house?!
"Wow!!"
Finally, Kushina reacted and screamed, slamming the door.
"Yu Ye, you bastard! You're a gangster! Remember this! You'll be dead when you go to school tomorrow."
A voice of shame and anger came from outside the door, making the whole street tremble.
Yu Ye's face was expressionless.
Damn it!
It has nothing to do with you at all, okay!
Also, why don't you shout it outside the door at night?
"Okay, you don't have to go to school tomorrow..."
With a pained expression on his face, Yu Ye opened the door after putting on his clothes.
Sure enough, I saw Kushina still standing outside the door, looking angry and ashamed.
"Ahem! Um...what do you want to do here?"
After coughing slightly awkwardly, Yu Ye quickly changed the topic.
If you came to see him late at night, there must be something wrong.
Yu Ye and Kushina are both children from other villages. They came to Konoha at almost the same time. After Yu Ye discovered that she was the Uzumaki Kushina in the original work, Yu Ye's natural affection made Yu Ye deliberately
I went to get close to her and the two quickly became good friends.
However, the treatment of the two people is very different.
Kushina almost came to Konoha as the next Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and she came from the Uzumaki clan that was allied with Konoha.
The previous Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki was Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.
As a member of the Uzumaki clan, Mito Uzumaki naturally takes great care of Kushina, and with so many connections, Kushina even dared to burn the beard of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen in Konoha!
But Naito is more tragic. He has no background and comes from a small ninja village that cannot be trusted. Although the small ninja village has been destroyed, Naito is still not trusted and respected by the ninjas of Konoha.
When Kushina first came to Konoha Village, she was alone without a father or mother. After Naito got closer to her, she often helped and took care of her.
However, because Kushina's identity is not just a girl from another village, the relationship between the two gradually changed.
The person being helped slowly changed from Kushina to Naito.
But even so, Kushina has never hated Naito, and is still willing to help Naito.
Because when she first came to Konoha and was the most lonely, it was Naito who helped her get rid of her loneliness, gave her warmth, and made her cheerful again.
So even though in the eyes of others, Naito is a loser who can't even practice ninjutsu, Kushina has never discriminated against Naito.
"I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death tomorrow, so I'm sending you something in advance."
There was still a faint blush on Kushina's little face, and she showed a vicious look. She glared at Yu Ye angrily and handed over a small bag in her hand.
After hearing what she said, Yu Ye remembered that there would be a practical test in the ninja school tomorrow.
Under normal circumstances, a one-on-one practical examination is nothing. With the Chuunin teacher watching, the students will not suffer any serious injuries.
But Yu Ye was different.
The chuunin teacher didn't like him at all, a student from another village. In short, his attitude was that as long as he wasn't beaten to death, it didn't matter, so Yu Ye was often injured.
"Thank you."
Touching his nose, Yu Ye took the small bag with thanks and took a look. It was indeed some healing medicine and the like.
Yu Ye was grateful in his heart, but the corner of his mouth twitched inexplicably.
Why do I always feel a little weird!!
"Who wants you to thank me so I don't bother to care about you!"
Kushina was still brooding about what happened just now, with a cute blush on her face as she pouted at Naito.
Seeing her looking so embarrassed, Naito couldn't help but want to laugh, and suddenly thought inexplicably that if it was Kushina who was exposed instead of himself, then he might have been chased by Kushina all over Konoha Village.
Already?
"Anyway, that's it. Even if you can't practice ninjutsu, I can always protect you... If you can't win tomorrow, don't be brave, just admit defeat."
Kushina stretched out her small fist towards Naito, gestured arrogantly, then turned around and ran away with a smile, her figure gradually disappearing into the darkness.
"..."
Naito stared blankly at Kushina's back, and then suddenly reacted.
Just admit defeat? Will you always protect yourself?!
