The damp chill of the cell seeped into Arthur's bones, but it was nowhere near the cold sensation compared to the ice that gripped his heart.
A muffled conversation could be heard through the bars, the voice of a guard outside.
"They finally found a buyer," the guard rumbled. "Two days, that's what they said. Less work for us, eh?"

'Two days... I have two days left.'

One particular technique that he remembered countless ninjas performing, even the lower-ranked ones, was the generic "Healing jutsu."
To execute certain techniques, one is required to first perform hand signs.
