Chapter 3: Kushina Uzumaki (1/2)

Devil fruits, while it grants incredible power to its users, had a major drawback. Users become weak when exposed to seawater and Kairoseki, a trade-off if you will. In this world, Yu was not certain if he was also burdened with its weaknesses.

If he too had it, then battles over bodies of water would not really be conducive to his survival. Even if there are no Kairoseki in this world, being a shinobi would still include missions and battles over bodies of water. That would really decrease his effectiveness and most likely, his enemies would quickly catch on to his weaknesses and use it against him.

So he decided to have a controlled test using a simple wooden barrel

Since he’s an outsider, the village only appropriated the cheapest of appliances for him, he did not mind though as long he had something to use.

He filled the barrel with water, took off his clothes, and jumped right in the barrel.

He squatted and soaked his full body in the water

One second… Two seconds… Nothing

A minute later, he still didn’t feel weak

[Sure enough, the weakness doesn’t exist in the shinobi world] Yu thought

Yu stood up, his face clearly filled with relief. As the weakness doesn’t extend to the shinobi world. That is to say, there is no devil’s curse in this world. With his Gura-Gura no Mi power already being a blood-line limit and no longer a devil fruit

[That’s great, I won’t have to worry about being a hammer if I get knocked into a body of water] Yu said to himself

Just as Yu was getting out of the barrel, his door was abruptly pushed open.

[Yuu-kun! Are you home?] (t/n: I think gonna go with Yoru Yuu from now on, to give it a more naruto world feel, with yoru “night” from jp and yuu from yumao “feather” from Chinese)

As the voice passed over, a red-headed little girl peeked inside his room.

[Uhh… I can.. explain] Yuu desperately wracking his brain for an excuse

Yuu, a little dazed, since he was only testing if he has a weakness to water. He did not lock the door and it was proving to be a costly mistake.

This is not the main issue, however, the main issue was it was already night time, why did Kushina suddenly enter his room… at night!?

[What! Ah!… Ah…AHHHHHH]

Finally, Kushina screamed, closed the door with a bang!

[If you go to school tomorrow you’re gonna die!!]

The shockwave from the closing door reached the whole neighborhood with some neighbors peeking their heads checking out what happened.

[The hell!? She’s the one barging on people’s rooms and she had the gall to be angry?? My door was almost destroyed for Kami’s sake] a disgruntled Yuu said as he picked up his clothes and started dressing up.
