Hikaru's Training

WARNING: This article may not be suitible for those who hate Hikaru's laid back attitude.

Hikaru is training with his brother Mizu for the final round in the Shinobi World Tournament.

Hikaru was lying back in the grass watching the clouds go by. He was waiting for his brother Mizu to come. He then noticed Mizu was walking on the road near him. He got up and waved at Mizu. "Hey, bro. How's it goin'?"

"Fine," said a stoic Mizu. "One thing, though."

"What?" asked Hikaru.

"Why do you want to train with me?" responded Mizu. "You could train with Seireitou, Ryun, or anyone else." He paused and then said, "Come to think of it, you don't need to train at all."

Hikaru laughed and said, "Well, you're right. Sort of." Mizu looked puzzled, then Hikaru continued, "The Proctor is checking on everyone else to see what they're donig to prep for the final round. And since I ran out of things to do, I might as well train to control my power, so the poor sap I face in the final round won't get killed."

Mizu then said, "Hold on, isn't Echo your opponent?"

"Yeah, and?" said Hikaru. "I'll admit, Echo's strong. Wayyy stronger than I imagined.  But, he's at least as powerful as Seireitou in Shukai, so I shouldn't worry.  I'll still give him my all in the fight though." He looked to the sky. "I swear, I think I might have to take this battle more seriously than the last one I had with Seireitou."
