Dialogue
Naoe and Yasuke returned to the site outside the Glyph Door after a day has passed. They overheard Kinu and Kane being enthusiastic about their test.
Kane:You better be ready today!
Kinu:I saw the moves play out in my head all night long. Like a piece of beautiful theatre. A performance of strength and style!
Kane:You wouldn't know style if it bit you on the ass.
Kinu:So that's why it's still sore!
Kane and Kinu gathered at the training ground.
Kane:This is it, Kinu. You wanna stop sleeping on the rocks? Get away from the macaques? That happens today. If... you don't mess it up.
Kinu: (gulps)
Naoe and Yasuke spoke to them.
Kane:To perform in front of you... it is an honor.
The two "treasure hunters" bowed to Naoe.
Naoe:You're laying it on a bit thick.
Kane:I am a changed man, shinobi. Truly. Allow me and Kinu to show you what we will bring to your illustrious team.
Naoe:This will be interesting.
Kane:To perform in front of you... it is an honor.
The two "treasure hunters" bowed to Yasuke.
Yasuke:You flatter me, Kane.
Kane:Told you I'd be your biggest fan, sir.
Kinu shook his head upon hearing his partner's comment.
Kane:Allow me and Kinu to show you what we will bring to your illustrious team.
Yasuke:Show us what you've prepared.
Naoe and Yasuke changed into their training attire and watched as Kane and Kinu get ready from afar. Both of them took a glimpse at one another as the two trainees did some stretching exercises. They then watched the two circle around one another, causing Yasuke to whisper to Naoe.
Yasuke:Do not say "I told you so."
Kane and Kinu began trading punches, with Kinu lending a punch on the latter, causing him to bleed from his nose. Kane responded with a punch of his own as well.
Naoe:I'm thinking it.
Kane then practiced Naoe's lesson by using a rope to choke Kinu to the ground, and imagined himself standing tall to an imaginary crowd.
Yasuke:They have charisma?
As Kane continued laughing, Kinu got up behind him.
Naoe:I thought they were bad, but turns out they're just stupid. And stupidity is not a crime.
Kinu got revenge by kicking Kane in his butt from behind as Naoe and Yasuke continued watching.
Yasuke:But it should be
Naoe:We know Tomiko could use a hand. She hates mucking the horse stalls.
Yasuke:They could handle that.
Kane and Kinu exchanged kicks that knocked them to the ground.
Naoe:Maybe.
Yasuke:All right, you two. Demonstration over.
The two trainees stopped and return to Naoe and Yasuke.
Kinu:Did you see us? Did you see?
Kane:I've never felt more alive, sir.
Naoe and Yasuke looked at one another before the latter gave the announcement.
Yasuke:We have talked it over, and there is very important work you can do for us. Welcome to the team.
Kinu:Yatta!
Kane:We did it! We're joining the team of the greatest fighter in the world... Yasuke!
Kinu:Don't you mean Naoe?
Naoe and Yasuke watched the new recruits bicker over their abilities.
Kane:No, Yasuke. He's a mountain. No one can budge him!
Kinu:Naoe is a shooting star! S fast, she'll slice you before you see her!
