Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece

In the country of fire, in a small town.

"Bah, what is it? Why does it taste so bad?!!"

The wandering warrior with a scabbard on his waist threw the strange-shaped fruit in his hand to the ground.

"That damn vendor, is he deliberately taking revenge on me?"

The wandering warrior thought with evil eyes.

A few days ago, he asked for a lot of protection money from a fruit vendor in the market. Later, he saw that the vendor was easy to bully, so he often went there to catch the autumn breeze.

Just two days ago, because there was really no oil or water to squeeze out, he brought back some fruits from the vendor.

But what is unexpected is that among these fruits there are such unpalatable fruits! ! !

"Damn it, labor and management will kill you tomorrow!"

"To actually secretly stuff this... uh..."

The wandering warrior's low-pitched curses suddenly stopped.

"what happened?!!"

The wandering warrior looked at the strange changes in his body with a horrified expression. His hand turned into a tiger's paw!

"no no……"

But no matter how much he wailed, the changes in his body did not stop.

Immediately afterwards, the feet of the wandering warrior also turned into tiger claws, and hair began to grow on the surface of the body. Finally, even the head turned into a tiger head with a bloody mouth!

"Hoho-"

The roar of the tiger was so loud that it instantly woke up the entire town.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Is there a tiger?"

"The tiger has entered the town?"

"..."

However, just when people were still panicking, the roar of the tiger suddenly stopped!

In a dilapidated wooden house on the edge of the town, there was a yellow and white tiger that was as tall as four or five meters tall. There was a humanized surprise on its face.

"It turns out...it turns out..."

The tiger suddenly turned back into a human form, and the wandering warrior looked at himself in surprise: "So I can still turn back into a human!"

The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something.

The wandering warrior quickly found a wooden board, then turned his hands into tiger claws and swung at the board fiercely.

Bang——

The two-centimeter-thick wooden board was cut into pieces by the sharp tiger claws with great ease!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The wandering warrior laughed wildly.

"That's great, that's great! I didn't expect that I would have such an opportunity, hahahaha..."

After eating that strange fruit, the sudden increase in power filled the wandering warrior's heart with joy and pride.

With such strong strength, he even felt that the ninja who bullied him before was nothing more than that!

"That guy must have a lot of money, right? He is a ninja after all, and that nobleman..."

Thinking of this, the wandering warrior's eyes revealed strong greed and resentment.

…

Not long after, in the center of the town, there was a luxurious mansion.

"ah--"

"Help, there are monsters, there are monsters..."

"Don't eat me, don't..."

"Woooooooo..."

In the small courtyard, a yellow and white tiger was biting people wearing silk and satin who were trying to escape.

There were some wounds on the tiger's body, but beside him, the ninja who served the nobles before had also turned into a cold corpse lying on the ground.

After a while, the screams and wails disappeared, replaced by a large number of broken limbs.

The smell of blood permeates the entire luxurious mansion!

After a while, the luxurious mansion suddenly started to burst into flames.

At the same time, under the moonlight, a tall tiger with blood-stained hair on its body was walking toward the edge of the town with a large package on its back and a look of joy on its face.

On the other side, two phantom-like figures quietly witnessed everything that happened.

"Is this your handiwork?"

Uchiha Madara, who was hanging in the air, looked at Suzuki in front of him with confusion:

"What exactly is that fruit? Why can it turn that guy into a tiger?"

"Fruit, it's called Devil Fruit." Suzuki said calmly as he walked forward slowly, "Of course, there should be another name for you in the future."

Uchiha Madara frowned deeply.

Devil Fruit……

It doesn't sound like a good thing at first glance.

"What is your purpose in spreading this kind of thing? Why would you let a lackluster samurai eat this kind of thing? Does this do you any good?"

Uchiha Madara asked several questions in succession.

He couldn't understand how Suzuki could spread this power so casually that an ordinary samurai could kill a ninja after eating it. He could feed it to his subordinates or give it to anyone who appreciates it, right? No matter how bad it is, if it has bad effects, wouldn't it be okay to give it to people who don't like it?

"Mr. Madara, why are you acting like a child and having so many questions?"

Suzuki chuckled and shook his head:

"If you are still here about the purpose, you will naturally know about it in the future."

"Kid! Who do you think looks like a child? Do you want to die?!"

"I am..."

Uchiha Madara's face turned red, he struggled and roared.

After a while, after receiving no response and still being unable to break free from the chains, Madara calmed down, frowned and guessed:

"Is that your purpose to let those guys gain power?"

"Do you want there to be a being on par with ninjas in the ninja world?"

"you……"

Uchiha Madara's questions continued one after another.

However, Suzuki still didn't respond, and just continued to walk forward slowly with a calm expression.

However, the seeds have already been sown.

Destiny has already made waves in the dark.

…

In the Country of Fire, there is a bandit's stronghold.

A group of bandits were having a party and drinking wine in the house.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Drink, keep drinking!"

The bandit boss picked up the wine bowl and poured it to his mouth.

"Boss is so majestic this time!"

"Yes, yes, that ninja has no resistance at all. Otherwise, we don't know how many brothers will die..."

"As expected, the boss is the boss. Not only can he lead us to popular and spicy food, he is also so powerful!"

"It is our honor to be under the boss's hands, hahahaha..."

The bandits were drinking and laughing while talking about the ninja who was killed by the bandit boss.

Yesterday, an inexplicable ninja came here and knocked out many bandits and packed them up in sacks. Thanks to the bandit boss who suddenly had the ability to transform into a black-browed snake not long ago, the bandit was Kill the ninja.

Thinking of this, a bandit couldn't help but look at the bandit boss curiously and asked:

"Boss, how come you have the ability to transform into a long snake?"

"Have you learned the ninjutsu of those ninjas?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The bandit boss was drinking and laughing.

He inexplicably had the ability to transform into a long snake because he accidentally ate a strange and unpalatable fruit among the items offered by his brothers.

However, the bandit boss was not prepared to answer his younger brother's questions.

Regardless, that fruit must be a very valuable treasure!

Since he can turn into a long snake after eating one and have the power to kill ninjas, he must keep this secret well, and then try to find other types of fruits to gain more powerful power. .

So, the bandit boss said vaguely:

"I don't know either, it just changes inexplicably..."

However, before he could finish his words, a large number of white poisonous snakes suddenly appeared in the village and surrounded everyone.

"ah--"

"snake……"

“So many snakes!!!”

"Don't come over, don't come over..."

Under the bite of thousands of white poisonous snakes, nearly a hundred bandit brothers all fell to the ground and died in a very short period of time.

"No! Are there any ninjas??"

The bandit boss's eyes widened, and he immediately threw away the wine bowl in his hand, and his lower body turned into the shape of a snake, preparing to face the unknown enemy.

But the strange thing is that the white vipers just circled around him and stuck out their tongues for a while, and then collectively turned their heads to face the door.

Soon, a cold breath spread into the house.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps that were so soft that it was almost hard to hear, a man wearing a gray kimono with a hemp rope tied around his waist, with pale skin and resembling a cold and poisonous snake walked in.

"You...you are..."

The bandit boss looked horrified and called out the person's name in disbelief:

"Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha?!!"

“Ho ho…”

Orochimaru chuckled lightly, looking at the bandit boss in front of him whose lower body turned into a snake's tail, his eyes showing strong interest:

"Because I was in a hurry, I sent someone to capture the experimental subject yesterday, but I waited all night and he still hasn't come back..."

"I thought we were in some kind of trouble."

"I didn't expect to meet such an interesting creature like you..."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his cheek, and couldn't help showing a curious expression:

"By the way, what species are you?"

"A hybrid between a human and a snake?"

The bandit boss didn't respond. Without saying a word, he turned around and started running away in panic toward the door.

"Ho ho..."

Orochimaru chuckled, then threw a shuriken.

"ah--"

The bandit boss' snake tail on his lower body was hit by a shuriken. He fell to the ground in pain and screamed loudly.

Orochimaru walked over slowly, looked down at the bleeding snake tail, a look of contemplation on his face:

"It didn't disappear because of the attack. It's not a transformation technique."

"die!"

The bandit leader's eyes were fierce, and his upper body turned into a long snake. He opened his mouth wide and tried to devour the powerful enemy in front of him.

But the next moment.

Bang! ! !

Orochimaru slapped the huge snake head away.

The snake's body, which was more than ten meters long, instantly flew hundreds of meters sideways and hit a hard rock outside the house.

If it were a normal snake, Orochimaru's blow would be able to knock out all the brains.

However, due to the unique endurance and recovery power of the animal Devil Fruit, the bandit boss did not die. Instead, the snake's body twisted and rolled on the ground in pain, and kept wailing:

"Ah...it hurts..."

"Ho ho."

Orochimaru slowly walked over again.

Then he cast a sealing technique, tightly binding the struggling and twisted long snake.

Immediately afterwards, he put his hand on the bleeding snake tail wound of the bandit boss.

Feeling the bright red blood and sensing the condition of the strange creature in front of him, the smile in Orochimaru's eyes became more obvious:

"Can transform into half human, half snake, and completely transform into a snake."

"However, there are no traces of chakra. Isn't it the blood successor limit..."

Orochimaru took back his bloody palm, added some blood on his fingers, and looked thoughtful:

"Moreover, it doesn't even have natural energy, and it has nothing to do with magic."

"How could such a strange creature appear in the ninja world?"

Orochimaru licked his tongue and looked at the frightened bandit boss who was struggling on the ground as he looked at the experimental subjects, with a desire to explore in his eyes:

"Hoho, it's really interesting. Let's take it back to study it and dissect it."

Orochimaru quickly picked up the long snake, jumped quickly, and embarked on the journey back to Konoha.

…

Time passes.

January 1, year 48 of the Konoha calendar.

In the new year, everything seems to have a new look.

However, in the Hokage's office...

Namikaze Minato looked at the two desks in the same room, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes.

Third Generation Sir...

Didn’t you agree to leave Konoha to me?

Why are you still staying here and not leaving?

well……

Looking at some trivial files on his desk, Namikaze Minato, who had just become the Fourth Hokage not long ago, couldn't help but have a confused look in his eyes.

Why do I have to make the decision even for things like stealing eggs and having an affair?

Can't we just leave this kind of thing to the people below?

And the more important documents of Konoha Village...

Namikaze Minato couldn't help but glance at the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who was immersed in processing documents, and he couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart.

Although he became Hokage, the reality was obviously different from his imagination.

Nowadays, almost all departments in the entire Konoha Village are still under the control of the Third Hokage, and he has no room to intervene at all.

Konoha Ninja School, Konoha Hospital, Finance Department...

Even the ANBU necessary for Hokage were not handed over to him!

Then what's the point of being a Hokage?

At this moment, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen on the side looked at the document in his hand, frowned and muttered to himself:

"Strange, what's going on?"

"Why have so many nobles died in the Kingdom of Fire recently?"

"Even the ninja team in the village suddenly and inexplicably disappeared. Is there another village secretly plotting against Konoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, habitually took out his pipe, lit it, and puffed away the smoke.

While smoking, he glanced at Namikaze Minato who seemed to be in a daze behind the Hokage's desk next to him, and asked kindly:

"Minato, have you encountered any documents that are difficult to deal with?"

"...Huh? Uh...no, no."

Smelling the unpleasant smell of smoke, Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly and sighed secretly in his heart. Then he lowered his head helplessly and dealt with the matter of the villagers' eggs being stolen.

Not long after, an ANBU came to the office in a hurry.

"Hokage-sama, something terrible has happened!"
