Devil fruit training

Uzumaki Naruto entered the Ninja School at age 6, became a Genin at age 12, and participated in the Fourth Ninja World War at 16. Yato was born a few months before Naruto and is currently 5 years old. He will enter the Ninja School in another year. If he can't get the Chakra Fruit, he will only have 12 years to live.

Twelve years might seem like a lot, but it's definitely not much, especially considering the strength he needs to surpass a mere canon fodder. Catching up to the likes of Uchiha Madara and Six Paths Sasuke and Naruto is a daunting task. From a bloodline perspective, he is naturally inferior, but it's not completely impossible. With valuable items, he could use the Talent Exchange System for better techniques or powers from other worlds.

"Let's start with double gravity for now."

Arriving at his usual training spot, Yato took a breath and started running laps. His movements were slow, and sweat quickly accumulated on his face, not because of a weak constitution, but due to the gravity applied to his body, which he could currently withstand.

The devil fruit he got from the Talent Exchange System was the gravity fruit belonging to Fujitora from the One Piece world, who joined the Navy after Akainu was appointed Marshal, replacing Aokiji.

The power and potential of this superhuman devil fruit were immense. Its destructive power is comparable to Pain's Almighty Push that destroyed Konoha and Uchiha Madara's Jutsu against the Ninja Alliance. Additionally, this fruit's uses aren't as restrictive as ninjutsu. It can control any object by changing the direction of gravity.

As the user of the gravity fruit, Yato can release gravity waves and exert reverse force on objects and attacks close to the gravity waves, achieving a complete rebound effect. This applies to both physical objects and energy attacks. It is a very comprehensive devil fruit.

Besides combat, this devil fruit helps the user exercise their physique. In this era of cold weapons, high-tech products like gravity rooms didn't exist, and physical ninjas like Might Guy can only use weight-bearing tools for training.

In a sense, the gravity fruit is one of the most suitable fruits for him. Yato knows the ceiling of combat power in this world. Without the bloodline of Otsutsuki and Six Paths, it is challenging to achieve something without threatening one's life. Might Guy has proved that ultimate physical skills can defeat powerful opponents. Additionally, practicing the six styles requires a strong physique.

So far, Yato can only practice under double gravity. If he pushes beyond this, not only will he be unable to move, but it will also counteract the desired training effect.

"One, two, three... "

After running twenty laps, Yato rested for a while, then proceeded with push-ups and sit-ups, still applying gravity to himself. He was sweating profusely, but despite being exhausted, he gritted his teeth and continued training. The pirate training system focuses on breaking physical limits, different from the Naruto system.

Yato isn't sure if he belongs to the pirate system or the Naruto system now. Because Ever since eating the devil fruit, gravity has become his Kekkei Genkai. He can't activate his ability at will like Fujitora; he needs to channel it with chakra. According to the dokkaebi, the devil fruit integrated into this world's rules. Along with this, the curse of the devil fruit disappeared, which is great news for Yato. Otherwise, he would be greatly restricted when facing water-style ninjas or fighting at sea.

Because of the devil fruit changing his body, as his body grows stronger, his cells become more active, allowing him to accommodate more chakra. Essentially, his body is like the residents here, but his DNA was modified by the devil fruit into that of the One Piece world's residents.

"Huff... Huff... Huff..."

After reaching his daily push-up and sit-up goal, he rested and restored his chakra. Then he moved to a nearby tree and started kicking it. Gradually, Yato's kicks slowed, and he began to breathe heavily, with sweet covering his forehead.

For the moment, he had no intention of practicing the six styles or swordsmanship. He needed to lay a solid foundation first.

Eventually, the sun already set, and the forest fell into darkness. Only then, did Yato stopped his training.

His body was aching as the aftermath of his intense training affected him, but he didn't change his expression despite the pain.

If he couldn't get strong enough by the time of war, then all his efforts would be on vain and he would die a miserable death.

The Fourth Ninja War was the most brutal in history. Even powerful Kage-level ninja struggled to protect themselves.

After his chakra reserve was almost empty, he couldn't maintain the fruit effects on his body, and the gravity was canceled.

After resting, Yato crossed his legs and began to refine chakra. Refining chakra when his reserve was almost empty yields the best results.

"I have to find a way to get the Shadow Clone Technique. Whether it's chakra training, physical training, swordsmanship training, or other training, I can't give up."

There were many things he needed to practice. Without a training cheat like the Shadow Clone, training would consume all his time, leaving no room for anything else.

"But the Shadow Clone Technique is in the sealed scroll. How can I obtain it? Should I wait until Uzumaki Naruto learns it and then ask him for advice? With his personality, he wouldn't mind teaching me, but he's too slow!"

Naruto learned the Shadow Clone Technique at about 12 years old. Yato is only five now; he can't afford to waste seven years. But if he doesn't get it from Naruto, who else could he get it from? In the ninja world, all ninjutsu are well-protected by their respective families and are not taught easily unless in a teacher-student relationship.

His deceased parents should have known such skills, but most of their ninjutsu scrolls were recovered by Konoha when they died, leaving him with only some simple chakra refining methods and a few D-level ninjutsu.

After an unknown amount of time, Yato opened his eyes from his deep meditation state. Seeing that it was completely dark, he prepared to go back home.
