The group swapped stories about their day, but the theme remained consistent—disappointment. It turned out they had been assigned a random Jōnin none of them recognized. Jada sighed. "Our sensei was this nondescript guy who kept trying to teach us the values of being a ninja. William and I basically sat back and watched Marge handle it." Margaret puffed out her chest. "Yeah, well, I kept telling you guys I could mop the floor with anyone." She had revealed one of her hidden techniques:…-

One week later. Seven days had passed since Arthur began his healing training. There were times when rain lashed the village, turning the training grounds into a muddy quagmire and forcing him to abandon his attempts at perfecting his healing techniques. Yet, amidst the setbacks, he still grew. He had learned a variety of new medical ninjutsu. One such acquisition was the Body Activation Jutsu. It paled in comparison to the technique being used with 'dark chakra,' offering a slower, less dramatic…

Ranmaru's wide glowing eyes peered into Arthur's cold ones. Tension rose as Raiga froze, not wishing to lift his Boltswords again. "Ranmaru!" cried Raiga. It was clear that he was both furious and fearful at the sight of the only person he cared about in this world about to die. "Don't even think about it," Arthur warned, bringing the tip of the sword to the boy's eye. Helpless due to his condition, Ranmaru could do nothing. "Drop the swords and step away. Slowly…" Raiga hesitated, struggling…

Some time later. The journey to Takumi Village was uneventful, and the trade agreement was delivered without any further trouble. On his way back, Arthur focused on balancing the three different chakras within him. They felt like mini pools, each a different size. By the time he returned to the Leaf Village, a figure was already waiting to greet him: not the familiar guards, but Alexander. "Arthur!" he chimed in surprise. "Where have you been? We haven't seen you in ages." The question…

The night was still young. Arthur wasted no time returning to his hotel. He secured the doors and windows, turning his low estate into a training ground. The next thing he did was activate his Crimson Gaze to gauge his surroundings. Looking at the Leaf Village from this perspective was far greater than before. The greenery, the materials used in homes, and the restful citizens—they all felt as if they were truly breathing now. When Arthur managed to peer through the players' home, he was…

Sunlight glowed through the glass windows of the Yamanaka Flower Shop. Arthur and Alice shuffled through baskets from within. Their simple mission was to clean and organize the entire shop. Arthur, wielding a watering can, carefully replenished the orchids. "How are the others doing?" Alice shrugged. "Honestly, little. We mostly train individually. Jasper and I hang out a lot, though." "Are you two official?" Alice paused, her blood racing, before she said, "Official? We… well, it's kind of…

A full moon hovered over the village as Arthur shut himself inside his designated quarters. Alice's earlier explanation of sensory perception and its vulnerabilities was exactly what he needed to train the 'Chakra Disguise' technique. This technique allowed a user to alter their chakra signature, making it appear larger, smaller, located elsewhere, or even keep it entirely hidden. It could also mimic other people's chakra to further fool sensory types. However, a sensor could still detect…

Muscles glistened in the sunlight as Arthur finished his final set of push-ups. He was miles away from any prying eyes, hidden among the rough terrain of a secluded training ground. After he finished, his solid form dissolved into a wispy cloud of smoke. The afternoon sun was high above the academy building. Arthur drifted through the corridors and lodged himself in the cracks of the ceiling. It was a tight space, but his smoke form allowed him to hear and see everything around him without raising an…

Sunlight roused Arthur awake. The first day of the Chūnin Exams had arrived. He rose and performed a quick set of stretches. A short breakfast later, he found himself in the gathering hall where the first part of the exams would be held. Outside the entrance were two unfamiliar figures. Both were middle-aged, judging by their attire. One sported a neatly trimmed beard, the other a scar running down his cheek. They looked annoyed as they surveyed him. "You Arthur?" the bearded one…

It wasn't long until everyone finished signing the papers. The liability form was a cynical joke, preventing Anko and the Leaf Village from being held accountable for any deaths. The teams were then distributed scrolls. The scroll Arthur's team received was black. When this was done, each team was ushered toward their designated gate. Arthur's was Gate 30. "Like we discussed," his scarred teammate said, "we'll stay together while I hold the scroll and…" Whatever he was mumbling, Arthur honestly…
