Passing on what I've learned is becoming more important than ever. Training with the newer slayers this morning, I was reminded of Rengoku's words: "Set your heart ablaze." They have such determination in their eyes, much like I once did. It makes me think about all the hands that have guided me—Urokodaki-san, Mr. Yoriichi Type Zero... I hope I can be that same guiding presence for them. The future of the Corps rests in their growth.

Muichiro observed nearby, quiet as usual. But then he demonstrated a Mist Breathing form with such precision that it left everyone speechless. He didn't say a word, but his actions spoke volumes about the strength found in focused, calm execution. A good reminder that we all have our own ways of teaching.
