    • by Akito B. Takahashi Relaxing, Arthur suppressed any lingering vestiges of Minato's personality, focusing solely on the task at hand. He wasn't interested in a fair fight; he wasn't interested in conversation; he needed to hunt down his prey before they knew what hit them. He armed the reanimated Minato with a handful of kunai, expertly strapped to his cloak. With a silent command, he propelled the Fourth Hokage forward, causing him to disappear into the undergrowth. Moments later, Zabuza and Haku rounded a bend in…
    • by Akito B. Takahashi The sun was setting. Arthur, after a long day of travel, finally reached the bounty station. Zabuza's body, despite Arthur mending his wounds, showed signs of early decomposition. The flesh had paled considerably; the features were still recognizable, but now it was evident that this was a corpse. The building itself was a long, narrow structure with a weathered façade and blue roofing tiles. It stood at the country's edge, near its borders. Bounty stations, Arthur knew, often operated on the…
    • by Akito B. Takahashi Outside of villages, there were three main types of ninjas: tracker ninjas, rogue ninjas, and mercenaries. A tracker ninja is often associated with a special team within a village's Anbu and is responsible for hunting down and eliminating rogues. They possess superior assassination techniques and medical skills and are known for completely erasing their targets by killing them and disposing of their bodies. They typically wear distinctive masks and uniforms and are reputed for thoroughly obliterating…
    • by Akito B. Takahashi Arthur's memory of the entire world map wasn't something to be overlooked. He understood the layout of the separated islands on the eastern side. Reaching his destination wasn't going to be a simple task. First, he needed to traverse the Fire Country's eastern border. The recent invasion had left the Leaf Village in a state of disarray. While the attack was still fresh, Arthur knew it wouldn't be long before the village's defenses were up again. Why he had stayed in the country in the first place…
    • by Akito B. Takahashi Arthur, his body racked with exhaustion, had chosen a new location—a hidden cave tucked away deep within the woods. There, he popped a chakra pill to restore himself. He'd secured the unconscious man in the cave, a strip of cloth stuffed in his mouth to muffle any potential screams. With steady hands, Arthur unfurled the summoning scroll once more. He couldn't afford to let this attempt fail as well. Like before, black spirals writhed across the stone's surface. 'Summoning jutsu:…
    • by Akito B. Takahashi By no means was Arthur going to use the mask right now. There was too much for him to accomplish first. His securing the mask now ensured that the other players wouldn't try to use it for themselves or prevent him from taking it. They all knew Naruto, which meant they knew what Arthur could exploit. Before fully departing the area, he walked to the base of a tree that was slightly far off. There, he placed a Flying raijin mark. Arthur then vanished in a flash, materializing in the familiar…
    • by Akito B. Takahashi Unlike the other monks, who slumbered soundly, Arthur woke up well before dawn. The transformation technique, thankfully, wasn't a strain. It required minimal chakra and held its form for extended periods, even when he wasn't focusing on it. He slipped out of the sleeping chamber, his destination being the koi pond again—the area with the highest concentration of the temple's unique chakra. Following the scroll's instructions, he hadn't eaten breakfast. Apparently, fasting allowed for a more…
    • by Akito B. Takahashi Arthur hovered to the top of the village walls before solidifying himself. The Leaf stretched out before him. Destroyed houses huddled together, black smoke curled from various areas, and a strange barrier was over the Chūnin Stadium. That could only mean one thing: Orochimaru was trying to kill Hiruzen again. So Arthur closed his eyes for a moment to focus. 'Crimson gaze…' The world around him sharpened. He saw the fluctuation of various chakra signatures and the tremours from villagers…
    • by Akito B. Takahashi The forest was long. Sunlight cut through the foliage, giving the two a clear view of the greenery. Koko swung from branch to branch with surprising agility as Arthur walked. She let out delighted squeals when she managed to snag a particularly fat beetle or chase a flitting butterfly. Arthur himself kept his senses sharp as he fixed his gaze on the trail ahead. Escaping the village was just the first step. Now, he had to get to the Fire Temple and access their special chakra to complete the…
    • by Akito B. Takahashi A cloud passed under the afternoon sun as sweat trickled down Lee's face. With swiftness, Arthur ran forward, snatching the kunai on the ground. He lunged at Lee with the weapon raised high. But Lee flung his arms up, and his hands clamped onto Arthur's wrist just as the weapon came down. It was quite a grip, but Arthur could see Lee's body shaking. "You call that a block?" he snarled, pushing down with more might. Lee's face contorted in effort as he strained to hold on. So Arthur lashed out…
