"No, it's not possible."
"Because I can only grant you the Devil's Law, or to something you possess."
Facing Yu's question, the demon gently shook its head. "And no matter whether it's weapons or other items, there's no way to fully unleash the power of the Devil's Law."
"So among the Puppeteers, those who originally had their bodies modified into Human Puppets are the best choice."
"Human Puppets?" After silently listening to the demon's explanation, Yu began to ponder. "In that case... it seems like I'll have to find a way to acquire this secret technique in the future."
Puppetry Technique—Yu knew it was a traditional ninja art unique to the Hidden Sand Village in the Naruto world. It involved controlling puppets, corpses, and other objects through specific methods for combat, espionage, and other missions, possessing great destructive power.
Ninjas who used Puppetry Technique were known as Puppeteers and held a high status in the Hidden Sand Village.
And Human Puppets—these were the pinnacle of Puppetry Technique, created by the first-generation Puppeteer of the Sand Village, Monzaemon Chikamatsu, and later developed into a powerful forbidden jutsu by the talented Puppet Sculptor, Sasori of the Red Sand.
The strength of Human Puppets lay in the fact that they could preserve the target's chakra and use all the target's ninja techniques, including even Kekkei Genkai, by converting the person's corpse into a puppet.
"Well... when it comes to Puppeteers," Yu spoke after hearing the demon's words. "In the original story, except for Chiyo and Sasori, who reached Kage-level power, the rest of the Puppeteers were all rather weak."
Having heard the demon's words, Yu gradually calmed down and started thinking carefully. "But Human Puppets, just the ability to fully preserve the target's chakra and all their ninja techniques, including Kekkei Genkai, is already incredibly powerful."
"If I can create Human Puppets with Mangekyou Sharingan, Wood Release, even Rinnegan, and Rinne Sharingan, and combine their abilities with the Devil's Law, who in this world could I possibly fear?"
Thinking about this, Yu felt like he had just opened up an infinite path of possibilities. Amber-colored eyes glowed with an intense and unparalleled determination.
"It seems like you've already found your own path," the demon remarked, sensing Yu's newfound confidence. Its voice gradually faded away in Yu's mind, but not before leaving one last intimidating remark, "Very well, from today onward, strive to survive in this world with all your might!"
"Because if you die, I will devour your soul completely."
"Eat my soul?" Hearing the demon's parting threat, Yu's lips curled into a faint smile. "If that day ever comes, then come, demon!"
"Great... as long as I possess the Devil's Law..."
"I have enough confidence to rise swiftly and become the strongest in this world!"
Because the Devil's Law's abilities alone already surpassed the majority of Kekkei Genkai in this world. Moreover, just like Devil Fruits, there was no limit to the development of the Devil's Law's abilities.
As long as Yu worked hard and used his imagination and creativity as a transmigrator, reaching the level of Doflamingo from "One Piece" with the String-String Fruit, freezing entire oceans with the Ice-Ice Fruit, devouring flames with the Magma-Magma Fruit, causing world-shaking earthquakes with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and possessing numerous other powerful and otherworldly abilities—all these thoughts swirled in Yu's mind.
Just imagining the Human Puppets, he could create in the future, armed with these incredibly overpowered Devil's Law abilities, filled Yu with excitement and anticipation.
"Yu!!"
"I knew you'd be hiding here, practicing your shuriken techniques again!!"
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the side, bringing Yu's thoughts back to reality.
Turning his gaze towards the source of the voice, Yu saw a boy with a black hat on his head and slightly tanned skin. He was accompanied by two girls of similar age. They were approaching Yu from the distant grassland.
"Urushi, Mai, Momoka."
Looking at the three kids who had just appeared, a faint smile appeared on Yu's fair face. "It's you guys."
They were Yu's companions at the Konoha Orphanage, though they had been taken in by the orphanage earlier than Yu.
"I really don't get why you're working so hard on training every day!"
Seeing Yu silently gathering his shurikens and kunai on the ground, the boy with the black hat muttered a complaint. "Do you really want to become a ninja and go die on the battlefield?"
The boy was Urushi.
He was none other than the childhood companion and "brother" of the original Kabuto Yakushi in the Naruto storyline.
The girl with long, light brown hair beside him was Mai, and the one with short, dark brown hair was Momoka.
All three kids were roughly the same age as Yu and were his closest companions at the Konoha Orphanage.
Thud!
Sure enough, even before Urushi could finish his not-so-friendly words, he received a fierce kick from Momoka sitting beside him.
"Fool! Do you think Yu has no ninja talent like you?!" Momoka, who was scolding Urushi incessantly, continued, "The director has been teaching you for so long, and you still haven't refined your chakra. Yet, Yu succeeded in less than a year!"
"Damn it, Momoka, don't think I don't know!" Groaning in pain and clutching his head while lying on the ground, Urushi retorted, "You're only into Yu because he's good-looking!"
"If you knew the truth, I'm actually a genius!"
As he spoke, Urushi, despite the pain, showed a confident grin, flashing his white teeth. "Just a little effort, and I can surpass Yu!"
