Chapter 59: Fear The Name
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: reanimation.'
Suddenly, the man on the floor jerked awake, his eyes wide with terror. He tried to scream again, but his sounds were inaudible.
Arthur ignored the man's struggle.
Then, with a crack, ash, thick and grey, erupted from the ground, engulfing him whole. As the dust settled, Arthur watched with considerate eyes. Where the man had been lay a woman from before, her body marred by a network of cracks!
Her eyes were vacant, staring forward. Yet Arthur hadn't finished.
He retrieved a small charm from his pouch—a tool he had crafted before while residing in the Leaf Village. And its purpose: to suppress free will.
Without it, the woman's body wouldn't be fully controlled, allowing her to resist Arthur's commands.
