## Chapter 1350: Konan and Yahiko's Devil Fruits!
"Black Zetsu."
Not long after, Im learned of the matter and was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected Black Zetsu to seek him out personally and trespass onto Wano Island on the Sea Star Mainland.
"Oh, it must be for the Tailed Beasts."
Im immediately guessed Black Zetsu's intention.
For the other party to awaken Otsutsuki Kaguya, they must gather the nine Tailed Beasts and fuse them into the Ten-Tails.
Coincidentally, Im also wanted to awaken Otsutsuki Kaguya now, and Black Zetsu was the only missing piece.
If Black Zetsu had truly escaped Wano Island this time and fled into the Great Sea, he would likely have to retrieve the 'Star Map' and search for him personally.
Fortunately, the Sea Ninja Village didn't disappoint him; Uchiha Fugaku fulfilled his duty as the Fire Minister.
Now, all that remained was to wait for the artificial humans from the Biochemical Research Institute to be cultivated.
Then, the awakening of Otsutsuki Kaguya's main body could officially begin.
As for Uzumaki Nagato's Rinnegan, communication went smoother than expected.
Although Uzumaki Nagato was only twelve years old this year,
Yet, as a 'Genius Student', he had been promoted ahead of his grade to the Ninja World's 'Sealing Barrier Specialist Ninja High School'.
He was known as 'the first generation of geniuses in the Ninja School world', alongside Hatake Kakashi, who was promoted ahead of his grade to the 'Fire Release Comprehensive High Ninja School', and Might Guy, who was promoted ahead of his grade to the 'Ninja Taijutsu Specialist High Ninja School'.
It was said that this greatly displeased the Uchiha Clan, who had always produced geniuses.
However, they indeed lacked geniuses of high quality during this period.
Uchiha Shisui was only nine years old this year, and Uchiha Itachi had just been born.
Uchiha Obito's performance made it difficult to consider him a genius.
He could only remain at the 'Konoha Elementary Ninja School' with his beloved Nohara Rin, living a peaceful school life.
Perhaps, for Uchiha Obito, this was what he truly yearned for.
Returning to Uzumaki Nagato.
When he learned that his Rinnegan belonged to Madara Uchiha, he agreed to hand it over without much hesitation.
Nagato didn't resent Madara Uchiha; instead, he was grateful.
Because without these Rinnegan, when those two Konoha ninja broke into his home back then, he would have had no strength to protect himself and couldn't avenge his parents.
Moreover, he had always felt that the Rinnegan was a great burden on him.
It consumed his chakra every moment.
Initially, he thought this was normal, as the Rinnegan was a 'Sage Eye'.
But now it seemed it was only because they weren't his own eyes at all.
Of course, Nagato was aware of the consequences of losing the Rinnegan.
At least six chakra natures would definitely be gone, his title of 'Genius' would likely no longer apply, and there was even a risk of complete blindness.
But kind-hearted Nagato still made this decision.
In his view, something that wasn't his shouldn't be kept.
Fortunately, the World Government did not fail his kindness.
The official who found Nagato promised him on the spot that the World Government would be responsible for helping him transplant new eyes.
Furthermore, he could choose between the Sharingan, Byakugan, and Ketsuryugan, and they guaranteed that the relevant ninja clans wouldn't trouble him.
In addition, the World Government would grant him a large amount of merit points.
What constituted a large amount?
It was equivalent to the value of six Legendary Secret Treasures, or two Epic Grade Secret Treasures, or even one Mythical Grade Secret Treasure.
Legendary Secret Treasures included Standard and Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits from the Zoan System, and Super Creation and Super Human Body Devil Fruits from the Paramecia System.
Epic Grade Secret Treasures included Danger Beast Devil Fruits from the Zoan System, Special Paramecia Type Devil Fruits, and Lower Element Devil Fruits from the Logia System.
And Mythical Grade Secret Treasures included Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits from the Zoan System, Superpower Devil Fruits from the Paramecia System, and Upper Element Devil Fruits from the Logia System.
But who knew that Uzumaki Nagato first refused to transplant eyes with 'Bloodline Limit' ability, stating that normal eyes would suffice?
This was because he hoped to live as a pure Uzumaki clansman in the future.
Subsequently, he proposed that he hoped to exchange for an Epic Grade Secret Treasure suitable for Yahiko and Konan, respectively.
As for what specifically to exchange for, he would let the two of them choose for themselves.
Such behavior earned the praise of the officials present.
Now, Nagato has had his eyes transplanted and continues to follow Uzumaki Kushina, focusing on learning Barrier Ninjutsu and Sealing Jutsu.
However, Yahiko and Konan haven't made a decision yet.
Their intention is to consider it carefully, not wanting to waste Nagato's will.
But what no one knew was...
Im, the Ruler of the World Government, was also thinking about what Devil Fruit or other resources would be suitable for Yahiko and Konan.
Inside the study room of Noah's Ark.
Im casually browsed the holographic virtual image on the tabletop.
The content within was the 'Secret Treasure Index' from the 'Holy Land Treasury'.
One after another, three-dimensional Devil Fruits of various forms, lifelike and vivid, flashed before his eyes, with data related to these Devil Fruits appearing simultaneously around them.
Since the promulgation of the "Law on Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration" four years ago, the quantity of Devil Fruits in this 'Holy Land Treasury' had increased day by day.
The total number was now close to ten thousand.
This was because Devil Fruits were now being born not only on the Sea Star Mainland but also in the Giant World and Imperial Arms World.
According to Vegapunk's research, Devil Fruits were the product of the World Will responding to humanity's desire for 'Evolution'.
While the majority of desires among the people of different worlds were the same, there were certainly different desires as well.
For example, the desire for 'Titan Shifter' among the people of the Giant World.
Another example was the desire for 'Danger Beast' and 'Imperial Arms' among the people of the Imperial Arms World.
This, of course, added many new Devil Fruits.
"The Special Paramecia Type Paper-Paper Fruit..."
Im looked at the Devil Fruit before him, which was entirely pure white and had a very paper-like texture.
Thinking of Konan, one would naturally associate her with the secret technique called 'Dance of the Shikigami', which was essentially 'Paper Release'.
So, the Paper-Paper Fruit seemed very suitable for her.
However, after a moment of thought, Im felt that this Devil Fruit ability overlapped too much with Konan's 'Paper Release'.
Although this was a Special Paramecia Type that could turn one's body into paper, making them immune to various types of physical damage, Konan's 'Paper Release' actually had this ability as well and could also be immune to physical damage.
The only benefit, perhaps, was that as a Devil Fruit, its development limit would be higher?
But Im felt that the Konan in the 'Canon' had already developed 'Paper Release' to an incredible level.
She could even turn 'paper' into explosive tags and then disguise up to six hundred billion explosive tags as an 'ocean' that even the Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't detect!
Even with a Devil Fruit, how much could the upper limit of 'paper' be raised?
Even if she awakened it, wouldn't it just be assimilating surrounding matter into 'paper'?
Although it would count as an improvement to Konan's power, it seemed like nothing more than that...
Im was thinking about whether he could find a Devil Fruit for Konan that would complement her 'Paper Release'.
Or perhaps other Epic Grade Secret Treasures, such as Imperial Arms or something similar.
Since he had no immediate idea, Im decided to first think about Yahiko.
"Yahiko... He definitely needs to transform into 'Deva Path Pain' again, but the Gravity-Gravity Fruit has already been eaten by Fujitora. Im will see if there's anything similar..."
Im muttered softly to himself, deep in thought, while continuing to search for suitable Devil Fruits in the 'Secret Treasure Index'.
A moment later, his scrolling hand stopped.
"This is it!"
"I knew it! Since there are Paramecia Devil Fruits like the Gravity-Gravity Fruit and the Float-Float Fruit, there must also be..."
Joy flashed in Im's eyes. This was the happiness of being a transmigrator!
(Seeking opinions from all esteemed readers: should Konan eat this Special Paramecia Type Paper-Paper Fruit, or is there something more suitable for her?)
