Had Alice seen anything she wasn't supposed to? Arthur had been so focused on the fight that he hadn't sensed her coming. And if she was here, that meant the other players were also trying to help protect the Leaf Village. Alice kept Sasuke's unconscious form close to her chest, while Arthur remained rooted to the spot like a perfect statue. "I'm not gonna let you kill him!" she threatened. "That's fine by me... Keep playing pretend with the others. You don't even know what's at stake." "No,…

Arthur pushed himself through the destruction taking place within the Leaf Village. He had managed to slip away from the chaos in the stadium, transforming into smoke just as the explosion occurred. Now cloaked, he wove through deserted streets, searching for a safe haven. His escape had been a gamble, a fortunate chance since the others had failed to prevent Orochimaru's invasion. Regardless of what they thought of him now, he let their false judgments crumble in his heart, choosing to focus on…

Jada Schmidt. It all happened so fast—the accusations, his claims, the explosion—and now the village was plunged into chaos. Arthur, the quiet guy. He was the one who was always mysterious. He was a walking contradiction—seemingly clumsy yet resourceful, quiet yet explosive. Yet there he was, defying the Hokage himself. And strangely, that was kind of cool. He never made her feel guilty about her own lack of stellar skills, and he was the perfect audience for her endless rants. To her,…

The act of sneaking into Hiruzen's office and learning a forbidden technique was far too easy the second time around. When Arthur was done, he left and found a general store still open. Herbs, specific metals, and a vial of water were what he needed. Finding them on the shelves, he paid for the materials and left the store. "Young troublemakers," the clerk said, eyeing him as he left. Arthur ignored him, believing the clerk should be thankful that he didn't just take the items after the store…-

Hayate continued to explain the single-elimination tournament. Winners move on to the finals; losers go home with nothing. As he spoke, a large, rectangular screen—high above the arena floor—turned on. "This screen will display the names of the two combatants in each match, chosen entirely at random," Hayate said, raising his hand to silence the murmurs that began to rise. "There will be no time for scouting or strategizing beforehand. This is a test of your adaptability and your ability to react…

The sounds of clashing metal filled the arena. Alice and Tenten were locked in a tense struggle. Every kunai thrown and every shuriken hurled were all being deflected by Alice. Many of the onlookers were surprised that a Yamanaka could be so skilled. Even Arthur was impressed that someone he knew who was truly a French woman could move like that. 'There's no way the ninja world changed her that much,' he thought to himself. Suddenly, a hand clapped him on the shoulder. He turned to see Jada,…

The arena fell silent as the screen revealed the names of the next combatants: Alexander Hyūga vs. Rock Lee. 'How ironic,' Arthur thought to himself, remembering how much Lee wanted to fight Alex. An energetic cheer erupted as Might Guy screamed, "Lee!" "Yes, Guy-Sensei!" Lee screamed back. "You're my student, and I expect nothing less than for you to show your opponent the power of youth!" "Yes, sir!" Alex turned to Arthur and Jada, saying, "Would you look at that?" Jada gave him a…

Swinging from branch to branch, the two delved even deeper into the jungle. The air continued to grow thicker with humidity. This time, Arthur was certain that they weren't going in circles. "Orangi," he called. "How much further?" Ooka-Ooka slowed down a little to rumble, "Patience, little Alex. The heart of the Cayman Jungle is a place of secrets. Elder Pepé resides somewhere most primates wouldn't find him. It's not a place easily found by prophets." "I told you, I'm not a—" "Now keep…

It didn't take long for Arthur to briefly explain his reason for being here—all without revealing too much about himself. Enma's posture grew rigid once Arthur had finished, seemingly accepting the information without question. "Let us talk more in private." The giant monkey led Arthur into an office room. Then Enma leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers in a gesture of contemplation. "I must say that what you've told me requires careful consideration," Enma began. "We primates live in…

Before the night could end, Arthur sat down by the still-crackling fire. His mind could not get over the players and their known attributes. William: strong, capable of performing the Rasengan. But Arthur had seen his uncoordinated movements firsthand. The man was a powerhouse in terms of chakra but lacked the finesse of a true combatant. Jada: her Sharingan was incredible to witness firsthand, but the true threat lay in her ninjutsu. It had a lot of destructive power. However, Arthur sensed her…
