Chapter 111: Unbeatable
With contentment, Arthur stepped back from the wide, open clearing where he had been training.
He could feel his muscles crying out for rest, but the exhilaration coursing through him was irresistible. As he began to pack his gear, he considered what else he would train.
Arthur's latent abilities did not have any limitations. This meant that all his techniques had boundaries that could be broken.
What he reflected on was his smoke Kekkei Genkai.
He paused, feeling the weight of those thoughts settle heavily on his shoulders. He could create techniques unique to himself but knew further perfection was required.
He couldn't afford to become complacent; he needed to continue pushing himself beyond his limits if he needed to be more than just adequate in combat.
As he walked back home, his mind mulled over several things. His skills, while impressive, were only part of the equation.
Arthur understood that even with his Kekkei Genkai and the techniques he had created, he was acutely aware of the danger he'd face against ninjas who wielded power with years of experience.
Let's consider characters like Jada, who was an Uchiha, and Itachi, who's also an Uchiha. While Arthur is able to defeat the former, he wouldn't be able to last against the latter. Not because he was weak, but because Itachi's visual prowess was stronger than Jada's.
There were styles and jutsu he had only seen from almost every character in this world, each stated to be lethally effective.
The topics excelled in his head: elemental perfection, powerful bloodlines, and primeval techniques. All of these organized thoughts left him with a sense of urgency that he desperately needed more knowledge and skills.
