Chapter 14 - Off to New Moon City (1/2)
DING* [ ”Congratulations host for completing the mission.
Host been awarded with the String String Fruit, Geppo(moonwalk) and the cultivation realm
of host has been elevated to level 7 Earth Profound Realm.” ]
Hearing the notification from the system made Itachi satisfied. He fought against a superior opponent and won by using tactics to use his many different powers. While he was thinking about his victory Jasmine came out of the Sky Poison Pearl. Looking at her face it was clear that she had many questions she wanted answered.
”First of congratulations for defeating that dragon. And second, what was that black fire? Just looking at that fire was giving me the creeps. It was like looking at the flames of deepest part of hell itself. And third, when your eyes changed their shapes. Why did it feel like they contained divine powers? Three divine powers to exact.” Jasmine asked Itachi curiously.
Knowing that these questions would come sooner or later Itachi decided to just get it over with. So Itachi told her everything about the Sharingan and the Mangekyo Sharingan. How those divine powers she felt were the powers of the Mangekyo Sharingan. How his Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi powers work. And how the most powerful ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Susanoo, works. How the powers of the Sharingan are descended from a god that had the power to change the world with her eyes.
(A.N.: Kaguya Otsutsuki with her Rinne-Sharingan created different dimensions she controlled. The Sharingan is an independent power that originated from Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan)
Hearing all this Jasmine was shocked. At first she was shocked and a bit angry at how someone could have this much powers. Basically how unfair it all is. How the Heavens, the System, Itachi and life just in general are all just unfair. But after being with Itachi for four months she started to get used to the idea that he would wield divine powers from different worlds.
”Lets put a pin in that discussion and see what rewards I have been given.” Itachi said to Jasmine to get her attention back.
After saying Itachi brought the String String Fruit out of his inventory. The String String Fruit looks like a big pear shaped lilac colored fruit with the typical Devil Fruit swirls on it. On the top of the Devil Fruit is a curly fuchsia stem.
”Is that a fruit? Why does it look so weird? Well knowing you it must some type of fruit that will grant you some kind powers.” Jasmine asked curiously.
”You are correct on that. These kinds of fruits are called Devil Fruits. This one in particular is called the String String Fruit. Once eaten it allows the user to create white, wafer thin strings that are nigh indestructible. These strings can be used in a variety of ways such as restraining someone, or as very sharp and very thin sword, or as a trap for catching beasts or your opponents. The strength in these strings lies with the user and how he uses them.” Itachi said to Jasmine explaining the String String Fruit and its strength.
Listening to Itachi tell her about the String String Fruit Jasmine became impressed with its strength and its versatile uses.
”Well than what are you waiting for. Eat that fruit. I wanna see those strings.” Jasmine said
”Well here goes nothing.” Itachi says as he takes a bite out of the String String Fruit.
Immediately after that he pulls a face that clearly shows that that fruit tastes bad.
”What's the matter. Does that fruit really taste that bad?”
”Uh.... huh.” Itachi nodded barely keeping himself together not to throw up. After a few seconds he swallows the fruit and drops to the ground as he feels his stomach trying to forcefully make him throw up while he tries to keep it down. After a minute he gets on his feet, still visibly disturbed from this ordeal.
”Ohh man..... That was absolutely disgusting.
And to come back to your question Jasmine. Try to imagine the most disgusting thing your have ever seen. And now imagine eating that most disgusting thing ever. This Devil Fruit tastes ten times more disgusting than that. If it wasn't for those powers that these Devil Fruits give you I would have just burned this thing.”
Right after saying that Itachi feels his stomach forcing out everything. Running to the cave wall Itachi starts throwing up against it.
Seeing Itachi throwing up against the cave wall, Jasmine pulls a face of absolute disgust and looks the other way doing her best not to look at him and trying to forget the sound.
”Those Devil Fruit powers better be worth all this!!! Because I am really starting to doubt it right now!!!” Jasmine yelled at Itachi trying to drown out the sounds of him puking.
'Ohh God that was f.u.c.k.i.n.g disgusting. I wonder if I can buy some gasoline from the system to rinse out this godawful taste from my mouth.' Itachi thought to himself.
Coming back to Jasmine after puking Itachi starts displaying the String Fruit powers. Waving his hands around he could see strings attached to his fingers. Seeing a big piece of rubble in the cave Itachi waves his hand at it and it start to break apart in five neatly sliced pieces.
”How about we get back to our waterfall. A month would be enough for me get used this new power and after that we will go to New Moon City. As beautiful as these forests are I actually want to get back to civilization.” Itachi said laying out their plans for the future.
1 Month later
During this one month of training Itachi basically trained the same way he did during these last four months. The only difference being that the four Itachi clones would fight each other the same way but this time with the addition of using Geppo during their battles. The other four Itachi clones would go out in to the forest and hunt Profound Beasts much the same way but they would be using the String String Fruit powers with it. They would be placing traps across the forest or would use their strings to cut the Profound Beasts in pieces or use it as a defensive shield to protect themselves from the attacks of Profound Beasts.
After training for one month. Itachi could use the Geppo much the same way as the CP-9 agents could in the One Piece anime and he could also use the String Fruit powers much the same way as Donquixote Doflamingo could without the awakened Devil Fruit part.
Cultivating for this one month Itachi almost managed to reach level 8 Earth Profound Realm.
Itachi's current status:
Name: Itachi Uchiha (Ray Williams)
