Next morning
Arthur rubbed his eyes and yawned. He reluctantly put on his clothes. After eating his breakfast, he immediately went to Hokage building.
Knock, knock*
" Come in."
Arthur carefully went into the office. As usual Hokage was smoking and organized his files. Sarutobi smiled
" You are right on time. Here this is your new mission."
Arthur's eyebrows raised.
" Alright but if they give up, don't complain."
Sarutobi said with indifference
" That's their choice. Whether they give up or not that isn't my choice."
Arthur gets up
" You said that old man. I will be going then."
Arthur dissapeared like wind. Sarutobi looked to outside. He quietly reignited his smoke pipe.
In the training field
A few children were waiting Arthur. Suddenly
Swoosh*
" So you are the students of mine. Nice to meet you. My name is Arthur Frost."
The children bowed down. Arthur nodded
" Now then introduce yourself."
Tall youngster first replied
" My name is Uchiha Fugaku. My dream is to rebuild Uchiha that accepted by everyone. I am 9 years old."
After that a little girl with black hair replied
" My name is Uchiha Mikoto. I am 5 years old. Get stronger to protect my close people that is my dream."
Young child with black hair came out
" My name is Senju Nawaki. I am 5. My dream is to become Hokage. Also long time no see big bro."
Arthur sighed, he hammered Nawaki's head with his iron love fist
" Next."
Child with blonde hair came out
" My name is Minato Namikaze. I am 5 years old. My dream is to become Hokage that unifies Konoha."
Arthur nodded with satisfaction. Next was girl with red hair.
" My name is Uzumaki Ayase. I am 5 years old. My dream is to become person like Lady Mito."
After saying that she glanced to Minato. Arthur coughed
" Now then kids your first mission is survival mission. You have to live in the forest without any tools. Of course I will save when you are dire situations."
Fugaku nodded. His serious face was confident
" I understand, teacher."
Arthur smiled
" Come with me. You will live a month in Death forest."
The kids followed Arthur. Arthur went deep into the forest. The children didn't show any facial expressions. However they were a little anxious.
Arthur came to place where he left his markings.
" Now then this place will be your home. Do your best."
After saying that Arthur dissapeared. Fugaku ordered first
" Mikoto and Ayase go find edible plants. Minato and I will go search for water. Nawaki, you go for hunting."
Others nodded and dispersed. Arthur who was watching from aside, showed intrigued expression.
" Minato and Fugaku have excellent leadership. Nawaki is still naive while Ayase and Mikoto have good responses. Not bad. Old man didn't scam me."
Of course the children faced difficulties but they eventually defeated these difficulties. During this month, they showed tremendous growth.
Arthur smiled with satisfaction
" Today is the day. Well let's end this training."
Arthur went to their camp which was very tidy and clean. The children were waiting for him. Unlike before they are matured a little bit and their eyes showed sharp look. After all they lived in the primordial forest for a month. They learned various ways to live. Arthur showed a gentle smile
" Looks like you are ready for your next training."
The children nodded and their eyes brightened.
Arthur snapped his fingers
" We will go to Hidden Rain tomorrow. After reaching your home, prepare for it."
The children immediately shout out with excitement. Arthur helplessly shook his head. After all they don't know about cruel war situations. Arthur escorted them back to village.
Next day
The children packed their tools. Their parents were worried about them but when they heard their teacher's name, they sighed with relief. After all there are a lot of stories regarding about Arthur.
Arthur went into convenient shop. He bought a few things and 6 popsicles. After that he went to village gate. The children were waiting for him.
Nawaki shouts
" Brother, you are late."
Arthur's forehead filled with black lines. He hit Nawaki with his Iron love fist. He gave popsicles to the children. Except for Fugaku, everyone took it. Arthur looked at Fugaku.
" Sometimes you need to relax, Fugaku. Here take this."
Fugaku silently took the popsicles.
