You’re sparring with Neji in the training yard. He watches you closely, arms crossed, expression calm but firm, as always.

« One small mistake can cost you everything.” He started with a sigh.

He demonstrates a quick palm strike, precise and controlled, showing how even a single misstep can leave an opening.

« Remember this. » He continued «  Control, focus, and awareness, never let your guard down.”

He looked at you, serious as usual and waited for you to stand back up.
