Chapter 134: Day Dreaming
It's then that tension struck when the next set of names were displayed on the monitor: C vs. Hoshikaze.
Most of the audience were asking themselves, "Who was this Hoshikaze?"
The Raikage leaned forward in his seat, furrowing his brow as the name registered. The fighter was shrouded in mystery and had an unsettling aura surrounding him. And he wasn't the only one who could feel it.
Arthur, disguised as Hoshikaze, had chosen this name carefully, weighing both its meaning and the persona it would portray. He appeared brutish and strong, with a robust build that drew attention. The blindfold he wore was just the tip of the iceberg.
Was he truly blind, or was this a strategy? Whispers among the crowds intensified because of it.
As he made his way to the stage, each step was light yet powerful. And just as he passed the other fighters, Jada noticed something others hadn't: Lars slowly opened his eyes to focus on Arthur's figure!
Arthur knew that Lars was staring at him. To be frank, he could feel the weight of gazes across the arena; he was drawing attention from all corners, whether they recognized him or not. Nonetheless, he ignored them, stepping into the center of the stage, just as C made his entrance.
C, often referred to as Shī or Cee in various adaptations, is a Jōnin hailing from the Cloud Village. He's mainly known for his serious demeanour and serves as one of the bodyguards for the Raikage. Alongside his laid-back partner Darui, he plays a vital role not only in the realm of defense but in strategizing and executing complex missions that benefit their village.
Physically, he is characterized by dark eyes and short, neatly styled blond hair, which he wears parted down the middle. His attire reflects the standard uniform of a Cloud shinobi, including a sleeveless black shirt complemented by a one-shoulder white flak jacket.
He accessorizes with black elbow-length arm guards, shin guards featuring a red-and-white design, a black forehead protector, and sandals, all of which symbolize his allegiance to his village.
C's skill set is exceptional, making him an accomplished shinobi. His prowess in ninjutsu is exemplified by his ability to utilize advanced techniques like those that combine light style with lightning style, allowing him to both deceive opponents and create openings during combat.
