[Naruto: Superpower Roulette] Chapter 343 (Patreon)

"Flame-Flame Fruit. It's a pity that Orochimaru and Tsunade aren't here, and it probably won't work if split between us."
Yoichi studied the Flame-Flame Fruit. Despite probing it with his mental power, he couldn't find anything unusual. Other than its warmth, it felt like an ordinary fruit.
"Flame abilities match well with me. Though it has the Sea Prism Stone weakness, there's none of that in the ninja world. Besides, I have genetic primal energy."
The Flame-Flame Fruit could enhance his control over fire, a significant boost for his alchemy skills. Additionally, combining it with his Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame might further strengthen that rare fire.
"Let's eat it!"
After contemplating, Yoichi decided to consume the Flame-Flame Fruit. The benefits for his alchemy and unique flame control outweighed any potential drawbacks.
Taking a bite of the fruit, an indescribable bitterness exploded in his mouth. Yoichi's face twisted in discomfort, but he forced himself to swallow it.
"Ugh, disgusting."
After rinsing his mouth, he quickly noticed changes in his body. Raising his hand, he willed it to transform, and his palm turned into flames.
"Flame elementalization... and the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame!"
With that thought, the flames on his hand turned golden. The temperature in the room skyrocketed, igniting some furniture spontaneously.
In an instant, Yoichi retracted the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame and extinguished the fires, though the furniture was already ruined. Despite the minor damage, he was thrilled.
His control over the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame felt instinctual, as natural as breathing.
He spent the next moments in his alchemy lab on the second floor, experimenting with the flame. The ferocious fire took on intricate forms under his control.
Golden flame serpents and birds came to life, their features as detailed as real creatures, down to the scales and feathers.
"With this level of control and mental power, I can attempt seventh or eighth-grade pills. If only I had the materials!"
Yoichi sighed. Despite his expertise, the ninja world lacked high-quality materials. Even with the purest natural stone and his energy-rich blood, he could only create fifth-grade pills.
Though effective for Kage-level ninjas, fifth-grade pills held little value for him now.
Still, creating such pills became effortless. He quickly crafted a Dragon Strength Pill, completing the process in a third less time with improved quality.
"Ah, I remember he researched a pill to enhance vision called the Heavenly Eye Pill. It uses magical beast eye essences."
Recalling the recipe, Yoichi estimated it to be a fourth or fifth-grade pill. It required common herbs paired with the eyes of a strong magical beast.
Conveniently, he had the preserved eyes of an old toad, Gamamaru. After Orochimaru dissected its corpse, the seemingly useless eyes were sent to him.
Though no longer functional, the eyes had hardened into gem-like orbs, making them excellent for alchemical purposes.
Using Gamamaru's eyes to refine a pill seemed like the best way to honor its remnants.
Meanwhile, Yamanaka Ino relayed the intel she gathered from Yoichi to Naruto and Shikamaru.
The news of ten upcoming disasters left the two men deeply concerned.
"Naruto, we need to summon Sasuke back. If one of these things appears in Konoha, we need to be prepared," Shikamaru said grimly.
A beast four to five times the size of the Ten-Tails could devastate Konoha with a single movement. Only Naruto and Sasuke seemed capable of handling such threats.
"Agreed. But first, I'll discuss this with the other Kage and inform the nations outside the Five Great Shinobi Villages to prepare as well," Naruto replied, his expression heavy.
The thought of nine more disasters reminded him of the overwhelming pressure he felt against Kaguya.
Every three days, a new beast would appear, its location unknown. Nine more to go.
"Ino, can you summon Yoichi-kun? I have some questions for him," Naruto asked.
Ino shook her head. "He refuses to visit the Hokage's office. If you have questions, I can relay them, or you can visit his shop yourself."
She added, "By the way, I ran into two civilians from the coastal region of the Land of Fire earlier. They sold a treasure to Yoichi-kun."
Hearing this, Shikamaru and Naruto exchanged glances.
The Flame-related fruit seemed extraordinary. If disaster brought valuable treasures, then this was no ordinary item.
"After my meeting, I'll pay Yoichi-kun a visit," Naruto decided. "Ino, I also have another request."
Naruto continued, "I need you to oversee the village's security. Strengthen the perception barrier and monitor for unusual chakra signatures."
"Me?" Ino asked, surprised.
"Yes. With these unknown disasters, we need the best. Your sensory skills are unparalleled," Naruto said.
Though hesitant, Ino agreed. As a Yamanaka, her abilities were well-suited for such tasks.
After Ino left, Naruto and Shikamaru debated recalling Sai. While the village needed its strength concentrated, Sai was investigating a dangerous organization.
Ultimately, Naruto agreed with Shikamaru to let Sai continue his mission.
Naruto later visited Yoichi, finding him just finishing the Heavenly Eye Pill. Though Naruto sought to ease tensions between Yoichi and Shikamaru, Yoichi showed little interest in mending ties.
Naruto asked Yoichi about the disasters while connecting with the other Kage via a laptop. Yoichi reiterated his previous statements to Ino and answered their questions but shared no additional insights.
"Prophecies aren't omniscient," Yoichi said dismissively.
Seeing no further use in pressing him, Naruto and the Kage concluded their discussions.
After Naruto left, Yoichi pondered his next steps. The upcoming beasts and disasters were unpredictable, beyond his sensing range if they occurred far away.
Meanwhile, his reincarnation eye clone had reached the capital, acquiring an electronics company and planning a film studio for dramas like The Beautiful Wife's Post-Marriage Love Life and Marriage Is a Shackle, True Love Is a Choice.
For now, Yoichi turned his attention to another intriguing ability he had previously acquired.
[Dream Creation]: A fragment of the Dream God's power, enabling the creation of anything within a dream.
"Let's redeem this."
With a plan forming, Yoichi decided to unlock the potential of this ability, imagining the myriad possibilities it could bring.
