Blades clashed under the full moon, the courtyard alive with shadows. Riku, heart pounding, faced Master Hanzo. "I am ready," he declared. Hanzo's eyes gleamed. "Prove it." Riku launched into a flurry of strikes, each met with effortless parries. Sweat dripped as he unleashed his secret move—a feint, followed by a hidden blade. Hanzo smiled, sidestepping and disarming Riku in a heartbeat. "You have skill," Hanzo said, "but lack wisdom." Riku bowed, breathless. "Teach me." Hanzo nodded, sheathing his blade. "Tomorrow, we begin anew. A true ninja's strength lies not just in skill, but in understanding." Riku smiled, ready.
