Feng Xian'er

A few questions.

One is it ntr or netorse whatever it's called that it's still him. I mean all it is a thought partition and not an individual consciousness like shadow clones. I don't really understand all that stuff if I'm being honest.

Second would you rather me just call the thought partition that controls Ace's body Ace or swap between Shuji and Ace like I do with Itachi. I normally use the name Shuji when it's him thinking but Itachi when he's in front of people.

That's something to think about anyways lemme know.

********************************

(Main Body POV)

Shuji was currently heading towards New Moon City to sell some things. He remembered that Yun Che came here in the novel, so he wanted to live the scene in real life. He had left his Ace partition at home to continue to train. He walked around until he saw the Black Moon Merchant guild from the book. He entered the guild with his Akatsuki robe and Bamboo hat that jingled with every step. He mainly came here to sell the Fire Spirit Pellets he made with the Fire Grass in his Sky Poison Pearl. He walked up to the counter and immediately asked for the manager. After about 20 minutes of waiting, the manager came in.

"What can I do for you?" the manager asked impatiently while sitting down. Shuji looked at the man before saying, "I want to sell you 30 high-class Fire Spirit pills." When Shuji said this, a spark of greed ignited in the manager's eyes. This was not a good look and made him think that he would try to pull something dirty. However, he didn't have time to mess around as he wanted to get back to give this money to the Ace partition so he could go back to training. So he took off his bamboo hat and revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan to the manager.

Jasmine, who was inside of the Sky Poison Pearl, could feel the power radiating from his eyes. "His eyes changed like when he put me to sleep! Wait a second…! These eyes hold divine power! What are these eyes?!" Jasmine thought. "It seems that Itachi is much more than he seems… that Flying Thunder God he showed me, those Cursed Chains as he calls them and now these eyes!" she murmured in shock. She further probed his eyes and could feel the three Profound Techniques in his eyes. The Susanoo, Tsukuyomi, and Amaterasu. She didn't entirely understand what they did, but she could feel the massive amount of Profound Qi they took to use.

Shuji currently couldn't use Susanoo due to the amount of Profound Qi. However, due to his soul being on par with a Sky Profound realm cultivator, his genjutsu had become much more robust with the aid of his Mangekyo. So, casting a genjutsu on the manager, he said, "30 Fire Spirit Pills are worth 300 Purple Profound coins. Is that clear?"

"Yes, sir." the manager responded under the influence of the genjutsu. The manager then handed over a purple card containing all the money. After setting the pills on the table, Shuji put the card in the Sky Poison Pearl and exited the manager's room. When he came out, he saw a red dress in a shop front. He walked up to it and asked to buy it while handing the owner some Profound Coins.

Jasmine was surprised because she would ask him to buy her this robe. Shuji took the robe, and after walking a bit, he entered the Sky Poison Pearl. He looked towards Jasmine and walked towards her. He handed her the dress while saying lightly, "Think of it as a gift." Jasmine blushed a bit due to the warmth she felt and whispered, "Thank you." Shuji was now heading back home to give this to Ace to get back to training.

(Pov Ace)

Shuji was currently heading towards the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. He had reached an even higher level of haki with this body and had roughly the same amount of body strength. He was wearing black shorts and shoes with a cutlass on his right hip that he bought from the system. In addition, he had a Black captain's coat with gold lining that was opened for his upper half, revealing his chest and abbs. Around his neck was a necklace of red beads, and on his head, he had his famous hat. It was orange-brown in color and shaped like a cowboy hat. Around the top of the hat was a ring of red beads with 2 blue faces that had one smiling and one crying.

He was feeling pretty good and was excited to see what the Phoenix would think when he saw that fire did absolutely nothing to it. As Ace walked through the forest, multiple people came out from behind the trees. He had sensed them earlier but didn't think they would be stupid enough to attack him.

"Well, boys… look what we have eer…" a roughed-up-looking bandit said. "Hey, buddy, you gotta pay a fee to get through here. It's only about… let's say all the things on ya!" the bandit leader said with a sly smile. All the bandits around him started smiling at him, but Ace was still smiling as if nothing was wrong. He could sense that all these guys were in the Elementary Profound realm and that even if he did nothing, they couldn't hurt him due to his logia body.

"Well guys, sadly I need all this stuff!" Ace said smilingly. "But if you want to fight…you should know that my fire burns everything," he said, lighting tiny wisps of fire on his fingers. The bandits looked at him a little scared but were confident in their numbers. "Get him boys!" the leader shouted. "Don't let him run away!"

"Shishishi… Don't make such a fuss. I don't run from anyone." Ace said before launching an attack. He made some gun fingers before shooting fire from them like bullets.

"Higan!" *Translates to Fire Gun*

Two bandits immediately got hit and severely burned and disfigured before falling to the floor. One bandit ran up to Ace and slashed at him with his sword. Ace was dodging every single attack with observation haki while taunting him.

"Are you even trying?"

"Hey, look, I'm not moving!"

"Here, I'll close my eyes!" he said while putting a hand over his eyes. The bandit was getting angrier and angrier, but even with the opponent's eyes closed, he was still dodging every attack as he could see it. Finally, he started getting tired and did one big swing with incredible speed. His sword went straight through Ace's chest, and the bandit watched as ace looked down in shock with a pained expression. The bandits that were starting to get scared saw this and laughed. "Hahaha… this guy was showing off and got killed!" one of them said. While everyone was laughing, Ace slowly started to pull the sword out with a pained expression.

Everyone who saw it thought that he was going to die, but when the sword was pulled out, some fire came out of it until it closed up. After that, all of the bandits were in shock as Ace showed a confident grin.

"What did you really think you guys killed me? Hahaha… I am fire itself. How can you kill fire" he said to them. The last few bandits who saw this tried to run, but suddenly they heard a voice behind them. "If you think you can run, your wrong! You've got no choice but to fight me!" Ace said with a grin.

"Enjomo!" *translates to Blaze Net*

Ace created a circle of fire around the area, making it so that nobody could escape. The bandits looked back only to see Ace smiling. At this second, they really thought he was a demon. One bandit tried to jump through the fire only to instantly burn into ash.

"Hahaha… My fire burns everything! It's truly an invincible ability!" he said, laughing. "Alright then boys, let's end this!" he said before running towards them and punching out.

"Hiken!" *Fire Fist*

*BOOM* a massive explosion took place, killing the last few bandits. Ace got rid of all the flames, only now realizing that he was now in their base. "It seems they ran towards their base while trying to get away… FREE MONEY!" Ace thought to himself. As he was looking around, he entered one of the tents only to see a cage with a small girl in it. He immediately got rid of the smile he was wearing and looked toward the cage. He used his sword a gave a simple stroke towards the cage. The cage doors were busted beyond repair, and a little girl quickly ran out.

"Hey, little girl… what's your name? And why are you stuck in a cage here," he said with a reassuring smile. The little girl looked at him before saying, "Big Brother, I am Feng Xian'er, and the bad man caught me outside my village when I was exploring a bit." She looked down a little bit guilty, realizing what she had done was bad.

"Alright then… here, come with me. I'll take you back to your village." Ace said with a smile and thumbs up. She looked up with expecting eyes that looked like she had just found her hero. "Thank you, big brother!" she said. Ace nodded towards her before seeing a small red flame marking her forehead. "Holy sh*t! Did I just find a phoenix clan member?!" Shuji thought to himself. "It seems I really have lady luck on my side!"

Ace and Xian'er quickly left the tent and started to walk towards her village when Xian'er asked a question. "Big brother, why is everything burned down?" she asked cutely. Ace thought for a second before giving a big smile. "I'm actually made of fire, and I accidentally burn some trees down," he said with a grin. He then made the same flames in his hand and showed her. Xian'er was amazed and thought that her big brother was amazing! If he was a little silly and accidentally burned some trees down.

[Ding! You have gained 250 CP for acting cool in front of Xian'er! Keep acting cool!]

"Well, I needed some CP, so this is good…." Shuji thought to himself. They quickly headed towards the village with Xian'er on Ace's shoulders. After running for a bit, Shuji saw a small village in the distance. "Is that it?" he asked. "That's it, big brother! Thank you so much!"

"Shishishi… No problem, little Xian'er. How about I take you to your parents." Ace said. Xian'er nodded and then started running towards her house. Ace followed her until he was at the front door. The door opened to show a middle-aged man. The man looked down in shock when he saw his daughter and immediately hugged her. Then, after a second, he stood up and looked at Ace and said, "Senior! You have my sincerest gratitude for rescuing my daughter Feng Xian'er!"

"Hehe… don't sweat it, old man. I simply came across her on my way here." Ace said. The old man looked up and introduced himself as Feng Baichuan. After a while of talking, Feng Baichuan asked a question. "Senior, you said you were heading here anyway. What is it that you were looking for?" he asked curiously.

"I was coming to kill some beasts, but now that I'm in this village, can I ask you something? Are the Phoenix Trials here? I wish to take them." Ace said. Elder Feng's eyes widened at that statement.

"Senior…how did you?" he started before Ace stopped him by raising his hand.

"Your surname is a dead giveaway. Plus, I believe that if I complete the trials, I can ask the Phoenix to get rid of that pesky curse on your head." Ace told him. The elder's eyes widened once again before sighing.

"*Sigh* Senior, you saved my daughter, and although I would not normally do this, I believe in paying people back for help," he said tiredly. "Follow me. I'll take you towards the trial," he told Ace as he started walking away. Ace started to follow him only to look back and see Feng Xian'er staring at him. Ace looked at her and then waved at her with a big smile. Xian'er smiled back and waved excitedly. "Seems like its time to take this trial" Ace looked up and thought to himself.
