Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 215: Awakening Skill—Memory Gallery!

Before setting his plan into motion, Uchiha Yi had already made all the necessary preparations.

He secretly left behind a Mythical-Grade (Iridescent) Trait on Nami—

[Omni-Potential]

Trait Effect: +100,000 Potential

This was the most suitable trait Yi could grant Nami, after carefully considering her situation.

At first, he had thought about giving her time-related abilities, spatial manipulation, or other reality-breaking traits.

But after careful deliberation, he dismissed the idea.

Sure, such abilities would instantly make Nami immensely powerful, but they wouldn't change the fundamental weaknesses of her body—her frail physique, lack of combat experience, and lack of mental fortitude in battle.

Even if she gained god-like abilities, she would still have a human's fragile limits.

If she let her guard down, a single injury could take her out of battle completely.

That wasn't acceptable.

Could he have given Nami a trait that enhanced her physique?

Of course.

But that still wouldn't be enough.

Because Uchiha Yi's goal wasn't just to make Nami strong.

His goal was to make her the strongest—no matter what path she chose.

Whether she became a master of martial arts, swordsmanship, haki, or even a Devil Fruit user, he wanted her to be able to stand at the pinnacle.

Thus, he chose Omni-Potential.

With this one trait, Nami's growth speed would enter a hyper-accelerated state.

Her body, mind, and abilities would all develop 100,000 times faster than an ordinary person's.

Even if she ate a useless Devil Fruit, under Omni-Potential's effects, it would evolve into a god-tier ability.

With this limitless growth potential, Yi no longer had to worry about Nami's future.

Now, he just needed to set things into motion.

Yi suddenly thrust his hand into his stomach.

Of course, he wasn't insane—he wasn't self-harming.

Beforehand, he had painted a storage space onto his own body.

The arm he "sacrificed" to save Nami had actually been stored inside his stomach's painting space.

Now that he no longer needed to play the "crippled mentor" role, it was time to restore his body.

His right hand reached into the painted storage, causing a ripple effect across his abdomen.

The next moment, he pulled out his missing left arm.

He placed it back onto his severed shoulder.

A blue flame ignited at the point of reattachment.

Within seconds, the arm was fully restored, as if it had never been lost.

Yi smirked.

His body was as good as new.

It was time to move to the next phase.

"Alright."

"Next target—Orange Town."

With his orders given, his AI crew immediately set sail.

A red-nosed clown—Buggy the Clown—glared furiously at the intruder on his turf.

"How dare you barge into my domain so fearlessly?!"

Yi ignored him completely.

He turned to one of his gold-grade AI crew members.

"Jin, beat him half to death."

Jin nodded expressionlessly.

"Understood."

Without hesitation, he stepped forward to face Buggy.

Buggy was furious.

He had never been so blatantly ignored before.

But just as he was about to charge forward, his eyes flickered with cunning.

A hidden severed hand hovered in the air, preparing to stab Uchiha Yi in the back.

Before the attack could land, Jin's foot slammed into the ground.

With inhuman speed, he teleported to Buggy's floating hand.

A blackened fist coated in Haki struck it directly.

Buggy screamed in pain.

His real body felt the impact, proving that Haki countered his Chop-Chop Fruit ability.

Yi observed with mild disappointment.

"So Buggy really isn't hiding any secret strength, huh?"

He had once wondered if Buggy had hidden potential, considering he was a former Roger Pirate alongside Shanks.

But now, after seeing him struggle pathetically against Jin, it was clear—

Buggy was just pure luck.

Nothing more.

After a few more exchanges, Buggy collapsed, bloodied and beaten.

His entire body ached, and his expression was filled with fear.

As Yi slowly approached, Buggy trembled.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Yi pressed a hand onto Buggy's forehead.

Suddenly—

A powerful force invaded Buggy's mind.

Memories unfolded before Yi's eyes, forming a long corridor of painted images.

It was Buggy's entire life, converted into physical illustrations.

Yi began altering Buggy's memories.

First, he planted a memory instructing Buggy to seek out Nami in the future.

Then, he erased any recollection of their meeting today.

Once he was done, Yi left quietly.

By the time Buggy woke up, he wouldn't remember a thing.

Superhuman Devil Fruits, when awakened, usually affect the environment around them.

Yi's Painting Fruit was no different.

It gave him control over the conceptual world of "memories".

By visualizing memories as paintings, he could edit, add, or erase them at will.

With this ability, he could manipulate the minds of others without them ever knowing.

This was only the beginning.

With Buggy's memory altered, the dominoes had been set in motion.

By the time Nami set out on her journey, she would not be alone.

Her road to the top had already begun.
