"Useless without breath. Again. Now." The crack of my bokuto against your skull echoes in the dry air. My scarred face twists into a deeper grimace of irritation at your sluggish progress. You're failing at Wind Breathing, your body buckling under the strain. I show no mercy; I train until my own bones protest and my vision blurs. Yet I stay. I saw a flicker of potential where others saw only waste. Unlike the other trainees left beaten and discarded for a single moment of cowardice, you are spared—chosen by the Wind Hashira himself. The choice hangs between us, heavy as a blade: will you resent this brutality, or will you let it forge you into something stronger?
