Chapter 2: Flame Flame Fruit!
🕑 Added 2025-07-31 10:28:40 +0000 UTC"Red Sun? What a boastful claim!"
"Try taking my punch!"
A wasn't intimidated by Kaito's reputation and battle record. Instead, his fighting spirit soared even higher as he launched himself forward with a punch aimed at Kaito!
Kaito's expression remained unchanged, his pupils turning crimson red as three black tomoe appeared, allowing him to see A's movements crystal clear!
The Sharingan - the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit, one of the three great dojutsu of this world!
Kaito's powerful eye strength pushed the Sharingan's dynamic vision to its absolute limit! Even at A's current speed, he couldn't escape Kaito's sight!
Kaito stepped back with one leg, lowering his center of gravity, and threw his own punch to meet A's incoming fist!
"Going toe-to-toe? Just how I like it!"
Though A's Lightning Release Chakra Mode wasn't as comprehensive as his father the Third Raikage's - being more focused on speed enhancement - his strength and defense in this mode were still beyond what ordinary ninja could match!
When it came to going blow for blow, A had never feared anyone!
A sneered inwardly and put even more force into his punch!
As the two fists approached each other, Kaito's fist looked several sizes smaller compared to A's lightning-crackling fist, appearing almost delicate!
But just as the two fists were about to collide, Kaito's fist suddenly erupted with roaring flames!
"Fire Fist!"
Kaito called out softly as the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch. The blazing flames exploding from his fist instantly engulfed A's figure!
Orange flames formed a massive fist that carried A's body flying dozens of meters, toppling tree after tree and leaving a scorched trench in the ground!
"Big brother!"
"Lord A!"
Killer Bee and the Cloud squad ninjas cried out in shock, unable to believe that A had actually fallen behind in a direct confrontation!
"Nothing surprising about it - fire's characteristics are explosive force and temperature!"
Kaito shook his aching hand. Though his words were sharp, he mentally gained more respect for A, the ninja world's most famous hothead!
Kaito wasn't originally from this world. Due to an accident, he had crossed over and become an ordinary jonin from the Uchiha clan who had lost both parents.
No need to dwell on past lives!
According to the original Naruto plot development, being reborn as a member of the Uchiha clan was basically a nightmare scenario!
Externally, there was oppression from the Hokage faction led by Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and the "Five-Point-Five Hokage" Danzo Shimura. Internally, there was a group of unruly clansmen who couldn't read the situation and were courting death.
On top of that, the clan had several mentally unstable members with extreme personalities who could snap at any moment!
How could Kaito's situation be summed up with just the word "difficult"!
Fortunately, Kaito had crossed over relatively early - there was still a long time before the Uchiha clan's night of massacre!
Kaito still had a chance to change the Uchiha clan's original fate!
Plus, the golden finger that every transmigrator needs gave Kaito the confidence to change destiny!
Though compared to other transmigrators, Kaito's golden finger seemed rather modest - just a Devil Fruit from another world, the Flame-Flame Fruit!
That's right, the very Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit that countless One Piece fans claimed "even dogs wouldn't eat"!
But as far as Kaito was concerned, he was quite satisfied with this Flame-Flame Fruit!
The Flame-Flame Fruit, simply put, could grant its user the power of flames!
Control fire, become fire!
And because the previous user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, Fire Fist Ace, had shown disappointing performance in utilizing the fruit and ultimately died at the hands of Akainu who possessed the Magma-Magma Fruit...
Combined with the fact that many people in the One Piece world could produce flame attacks - practically anyone could control fire power - the Flame-Flame Fruit earned the label of "even dogs wouldn't eat it"!
But was the Flame-Flame Fruit really weak? Or rather, was the ability to control flames really weak?
In Kaito's view, not necessarily!
Though in One Piece's setting, the Magma-Magma Fruit was the superior fruit to the Flame-Flame Fruit, Kaito believed the Flame-Flame Fruit wasn't actually weaker than the Magma-Magma Fruit!
Both magma and flames shared the characteristics of explosive force and temperature!
Because magma was a physical substance, flames indeed couldn't match magma in explosive force!
But in terms of temperature, flames had a crushing advantage over magma!
Magma's maximum temperature was only around 1,400 degrees, while flames could continuously increase temperature through heat accumulation!
This increase was virtually limitless!
Kaito's previous world could heat flames to over 500 million degrees through special methods - thirty times hotter than the sun's maximum temperature!
The gap was self-evident!
The Flame-Flame Fruit had almost infinite possibilities!
Fire was never weak!
Just like that old man from the neighboring series who also possessed flame abilities - he was called the strongest Soul Reaper in two thousand years! Almost every time he appeared in battle, his flame-controlling zanpakuto would be specifically sealed!
So it was never the Flame-Flame Fruit that was weak - it was just Fire Fist Ace!
Having experienced the information explosion of his previous world, Kaito was confident his understanding of the Flame-Flame Fruit far exceeded Fire Fist Ace's!
Combined with this world's native powers, Kaito would definitely not disgrace this Flame-Flame Fruit again!
And this Flame-Flame Fruit gave Kaito the confidence to change everything!
After years of lying low, Kaito had been secretly strengthening his power, cultivating his forces, accumulating connections, and continuously building up the strength to change this world!
Now with the Third War nearing its end, Kaito had completed his preparations!
Kaito was now eager to quickly end the war and begin making his mark in this world!
"Minato, I'll leave the Eight-Tails jinchuriki to you! Try to capture him alive!"
Kaito slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and spoke to Minato beside him.
Minato was not only fast but also extremely skilled in sealing techniques due to his relationship with his girlfriend Kushina Uzumaki, making him the best choice among them to deal with Killer Bee!
Though in the original story Minato died from sealing the Nine-Tails, the Eight-Tails wasn't the Nine-Tails!
In a real fight, the Eight-Tails couldn't even match half the Nine-Tails' power!
Moreover, the reason Minato died from sealing the Nine-Tails was more likely because he chose to die for love!
After all, the Minato couple had basically controlled the Nine-Tails at that time, and Konoha's reinforcements were almost at the scene!
Other villages that weren't particularly skilled in sealing techniques could handle rampaging tailed beasts - how bad could Konoha's sealing corps be, having inherited the legacy of the Land of Whirlpools?
Could they really not handle a Nine-Tails that was already under control?
In the end, it was Minato's choice to shoulder everything alone!
"Got it! Leave that guy to me!"
Minato flashed a brilliant smile, speaking with complete confidence.
"Then let's make this quick!"
As Kaito spoke, flames erupted all over his body as he flew toward A's location in pursuit!
