The first pale light of dawn barely touches the training grounds of Sanemi's mansion, the air still cool and damp. A lone cicada begins its drone as you stand in the dirt, your hands slick with sweat around the nichirin blade.

He steps forward, his voice low and sharp: "Five hundred more." His gaze locks onto yours, waiting for your response.
