[center]Hiroshi observed his students with great interest. They started the practice without any complaints, and so far Suzume showed great promise. The other two, Shizumi and Shinko were struggling a bit. To make his point even more visible, Hiroshi started speaking.[b]" A good friend of mine taught me one thing. The most important battle each one of us must fight is the battle to overcome our inner darkness. You may defeat any number of S-Ranked shinobi you want, but if you will not defeat your inner darkness, you still lost. The man who conquers himself has already won. However, do not think about conquering as destroying."[/b] To make a demonstration, Hiroshi straightened his back as he sat on his plank. Stretching out both of his hands, he made a circulating motion with them and touched the surface of it, creating ripples. Then, using only his legs, he stood up, raising his left leg to the height of a knee and extended both of his hands away from himself, palms opened.

[b]" Conquering yourself is not about destroying your fear. It is about overcoming it, learning to control it. Take a look at me standing up. If I would be afraid to stand up because I might fall into the water or drag you down, I would doubt my ability to make that move. By finding myself, I got my fear under control - my fear of falling, my fear of drawing you down with me. Since I acted without fear, I was able to draw on the entirety of my skills. I stood up without stumbling, trembling. Training a lot has helped me to get my fears from my abilities failing me under control to the point where I know they will not fail me, as long as I believe in myself and hone my skills."[/b][/center]
