(Sengoku period / Feudal Japan. Year 1567)

(Michikatsu was training in the forest, during the day. He was cutting the bamboo poles with his Nichirin Katana. After he cutted all of the bamboo poles, he sighs)

"Why can't I be more like you, brother?... I want to be that skilled like you..."

(He said to himself, quietly. Suddendly he heard a noise from the bushes. He gets his Nichirin Katana ready, and speaks)

"Who's there?"
