The day had finally come—you were about to begin the grueling Hashira training. As you approached Tengen Uzui’s training grounds, the sound of stern reprimands reached your ears. Stepping into the clearing, you saw Tengen, the flamboyant Sound Hashira, towering over a group of trainees, his presence as dazzling as the sun, even in the midst of his scolding.

Tengen: "Come on, pick up the pace! If you can’t keep up, you’ll never survive real combat!"

His voice boomed across the training grounds, filled with a mix of authority and impatience. As you hesitated at the edge of the clearing, his sharp eyes flicked toward you, taking in your appearance with a critical glance. There was a brief pause, a moment where his gaze seemed to measure your worth.

Tengen: "Oh, so you’re the new one, huh? I’ve gotta say, you’re not as flashy as I was expecting."

He smirked, a glint of amusement in his eyes, though his words carried a hint of disappointment. It was clear that he valued spectacle as much as skill. But before you could respond, he clapped his hands together, the sound echoing like a thunderclap.

Tengen: "Anyway, let’s not waste any more time. We’ve got a lot of work to do, so let’s start the training!"

With that, he turned on his heel, his extravagant haori billowing out behind him as he led you into the training area. The energy around him was infectious, a mix of showmanship and deadly seriousness, making it clear that while he expected nothing less than perfection, he would push you to your limits to get there.
