3 Shop Open
(Pov Xia Qingyue)
Xia Qingyue was thinking all morning about the man she met yesterday. Something about him was so mysterious that she wanted to know more about him. She decided to at least know this man's name so she set off.
*********************************
When she arrived she saw him. He stood in the middle of a clearing with his black shirt and high collar. He had his usual black pants and black sandals and on the back of his shirt was a red and white fan. He looked really good in the outfit. She was tempted to call out to him but decided to wait to see what he would do. She saw him close his eyes and suddenly… SWISHH He threw some sharp objects thrown in various directions in the air. When she saw where the object was thrown she was surprised there were many cables that connected to a trap. He actually activated his own trap?*SWISHHH* The cable is disconnected and the trap is activated. Several weapons of various kinds are thrown at him at high speed.
"Watch out!" she shouted. His eyes were still closed and when the weapon approached he suddenly disappeared! Her eyes completely widened when she saw him nimbly dodging in the air. Two sharp objects plunged towards him but he deflected them by throwing the same to objects to intercept them. He landed on a nearby branch, and several more sharp objects were thrown at him. He immediately backflipped and landed with grace on the platform where he slowly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes she was bewitched by his dark red eyes with three black marks slowly swirling around. Xia Qingyue was speechless. During the whole moment, her heart was beating fast. She had never seen anything as beautiful as this. The scene was engraved in her heart and the red eyes seemed to lure her in only to wash her away. She was unable to look away from the deep crimson orbs.
"Oh? Is it you again? I apologize but if you want this place I ask that you come back in half an hour." He said with a stoic face with no emotion. Xia Qingyue was confused and had difficulty responding after what she had just seen. "I-I'm not-" she stammered a little after some time she slowly regained her composure.
"I want to know your name," she said to the man. The man did not change his expression at all when she stuttered but slowly waited for her to finish. He started to walk towards the weapons scattered on the ground and trees to pick them up. She was confused as to why he hadn't given his name yet. "Maybe he doesn't want to give it" she thought but did not know why she cared so much.
"Itachi Uchiha" she suddenly heard in her ears. "What?" she said.
"My name is Itachi Uchiha." He said again calmly.
"Itachi?" she said slowly due to the strange name and last name. Even though this name was odd she felt that it really sounded good and fit him. It was unique and mysterious just like him. She had never met someone like this. He was so unique and not like all the other people she had met. He was like a puzzle and she was trying to slowly put the pieces together.
"Isn't it rather rude to not introduce yourself as well?" Itachi said lightly.
"Oh right I asked his name but haven't given my name…" she thought to herself.
"My name is Xia Qingyue," she said.
"Hmm, a good name." he calmly said. She was pleased with his compliment and continued to ask another question.
"You're not from here right?" she asked.
"Oh and what makes you think that?" he asked with his eyes closed.
"Your name is strange and I have never seen clothes like yours."
He smiled lightly before saying, "Your deduction is quite good."
Xia Qingyue smiled in response. He opened his onyx eyes which were filled with melancholy and spoke. "I come from a distant village called Konoha."
Konoha? She thought to herself. She had never heard of a village like that and why did he seem so sad when speaking of it? Xia Qingyue wanted to know more but knew this was a personal matter and it was not her place to talk about it so she quickly changed subjects.
They talked until the sun went down and when it did Xia Qingyue left towards her home. While walking she was thinking about her time with Itachi. She was surprised with how much she talked as she was normally quieter and never talked to anyone besides her brother and father. She felt very good about Itachi and it reminded her about times when she would have fun with her family. That was until her mother vanished and she seemed to forget what pleasure was to this day. She was quite reluctant to part from Itachi so she looks forward to tomorrow.
In the forest, Shuji was grinning like a lunatic due to the amount of CP he just earned. He's collected 230 CP in just a few hours. All he had to do now was cultivate in the True Profound Realm and open the system store. Meanwhile, he will continue to interact with Xia Qingyue to further sow the seeds and farm CP.
*********************
2 weeks quickly passed for Shuji who is currently cultivating. He is currently at the 10th stage of Nascent Soul and is on the verge of breaking through. As he absorbed the Profound Qi in the air he heard the crack of his core.
[Ding! Stage 1 of the True Profound Realm has been reached.]
[Ding! Because the host has reached the True Profound Realm a portion of the shop has been opened as well as some of Uchiha Itachi's experience.]
"Good! It seems that the system is finally going to be useful again. It seems the experience has also been planted in my mind."
[Ding! If the system feels useless to the host you can discard the system. Confirm Y/N]
"Fuck system! I was just joking, don't confirm. I repeat do not confirm."
[Ding! Understood the host has chosen to keep the system.]
[Ding! Tactical experience of Itachi Uchiha imprinted in the Host's mind.]
The process hurt a bit but after a little while, it was just a slight headache.
"Alright, system now open up the shop!" He was quite excited as he had saved up a few CP.
[Ding! Before opening please check your status.
Realm: True Profound Realm Stage 1
Expertise: Itachi's Tactical Knowledge, Assassination, Espionage, Taijutsu, Genjutsu
Artifact: Divine Dividing
Lineage: Uchiha 3 Tomoe Sharingan
Locked: Mangekyo Sharingan
Locked: Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan
Cool Points: 464]
For the past few weeks, he has not forgotten to collect CP.
"System what are the requirements for Mangekyo?"
[Ding! To fully unlock Mangekyo Sharingan, the host must reach the Sky Profound Realm. If used before will cause extreme pain and if used extensively it will result in blindness.]
"Shit! This is really tiring! I suppose it does make sense though seeing as it's Mangekyo… system I want to find a skill in the shop!" What he really needs are some more skills to increase combat prowess. How can he be cool as a weak cultivator?
[Ding! Please select a world from which you want to choose skills!]
"Aishh… There are so many worlds to choose from. Naruto, One-piece, Bleach, DxD, and more. So many options but he can't choose them all now. For now, Shuji chose the most logical with his skill set.
"Let's look at Naruto's abilities," he said. He saw lots of Jutsu but only chose some that he thought were useful and worked for him.
Katon Jutsus (D-B Rank) = 20 points
Suiton Jutsus (D-B Rank) = 25 points
Doton Jutsus (D-B Rank) = 15 points
Chidori complete package (Includes Chidori as well as variants created by Sasuke Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake) = 75 points
"Well let's look at some Bleach skills." There are fewer skills but some are extremely useful. In the end, he bought one that would fit for now.
Shunpo = 55 points
"Alright now let's check the One Piece skills." When he saw various skills there were only two that were interesting but they were too expensive for now.
Busoshoku Haki = 120 points
Haoshoku Haki = 275 points
He doesn't really need Kenbunshoku Haki right this second because he already has Sharingan. Both are not bad but he can't afford it with his current CP. It's much better to get some more versatile skills.
"Alright, let's look at DxD now"
Touki = 55 points
Senjutsu = 120 points
Only those two are even slightly worth noting but it's useless for him currently when he gets Haki and Senjutsu from other sources. Although Senjutsu is expensive from Naruto, he can get it later.
[Ding! Due to it being your first time in the shop you have been offered a special promotion in the Naruto skill shop. Do you want to see it?]
"Special promotion?! Yes, I want to see it!"
[Special Flying Thunder God Jutsu and Rasengan Package = 1200 CP >>>>> 300 CP]
Shuji was hyperventilating as he stared at the screen.
"YES! BUY IT NOW SYSTEM! BUY! BUY!" He was repeating like a man without his fix not realizing how stupid he looked. I suppose he was afraid the system would take it away.
[Ding! Purchase List:
Katon Jutsus (D-B Rank)
Suiton Jutsus (D-B Rank)
Doton Jutsus (D-B Rank)
Chidori complete package
Shunpo
Special Flying Thunder God and Rasengan Package
Total: 485 CP
Current CP: 464]
[Ding! The host doesn't currently have enough to buy all skills. Please delete a skill to pay.]
"Let go of Shunpo! I don't need it if I have Hiraishin of the Fourth Hokage! Who needs to shunpo when I can teleport bitch!
[Ding! Shunpo was deleted. Total minus 430 CP]
[Ding! The CP transaction is finished 34 CP remaining]
"Perfect! System print the skills into my mind!" he shouted with a smile. He heard the ding notifying him and the pain that came with it. Around 4 hours later Shuji stood up with a feeling of power flowing through him. He raises one of his hands before it becomes coated in lighting. *Chirping* In his right hand is the Chidori causing the cries of a thousand birds before raising his other causing a Rasengan to begin forming.
"Chidori and Rasengan…the potential of these skills is immeasurable" he smiled to himself. Both the techniques fade out as he prepares himself to meet Xia Qingyue soon.
