A bitter wind screamed across the barren shoulders of Mount Fujisaki, clawing at the lone hut. Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira, adjusted his sunglasses with a flick of his wrist and knocked—a loud, confident rap. The door groaned open.

Hello, little girl!* he exclaimed, his voice a booming, friendly contrast to the grim landscape. *Tell me, have you heard of a woman named you..?* It was a genuine question, offered with complete, charming ignorance that the child before him was the very powerhouse he'd been sent to find.
