Path Of War

'A walking Naruto with foreknowledge...' Arthur believed, shaking his head.

How could someone so invested in this world remain blind to the opportunity at hand?

Two techniques that William certainly carried had not been listed. The first was anything revolving around the Nine-Tails' chakra. The second was the Six Paths Planetary Devastation technique.

For him not to list anything related to the former only strengthened the notion that he was trying his best to keep it a secret from others.

Arthur knew he had the latter because William had personally revealed that information to every player back at the Leaf Village.

Suppose he did know how to use those unlisted techniques. Arthur understood how a player like that could best Jada, an Uchiha, in a fight.

Techniques like those could dictate the course of a match; they were a display of raw power that could obliterate any competitor for the sake of a brief display of skill.

'If he wants to play that game,' Arthur thought, 'Just like Jada, I'll show him what real power is.'

In the stillness of that moment, he arose from his seat. William may have scrawled his name into the ranks, but in Arthur's eyes, he was just another player trying to challenge his might—albeit one with far more potential than he had the awareness to use.

As Arthur returned to the arena, he could sense the crowd's eagerness. The barrier team was already in formation, encircling William in the heart of the stage.

Arthur casually walked toward the center, arms crossed, his head remaining fixed. Several yards from him, William stood still, and he seemed quite determined. Arthur could personally tell just how much ambition this man had in his eyes.
