| - The day begins with Arashi waking up and getting dressed. Arashi then walks to the kitchen and greets everyone. "You ready for your first day of training?" Yokashi asks him. "Yeah, I guess." Arashi says as a giant plate of pancakes is pushed in front of him. As Arashi eats, Yokashi laughs at his ferocious appetite. Yokashi takes Arashi outside on the patio. Then Arashi and Yokashi start their vigorous training in the backyard of the house. "I noticed in your fight with Chappa that you have great power." Yokashi says. Arashi cocks back and swings, only to fall in the dirt. "But speed can control who comes out on top in a battle." Yokashi says, appearing behind Arashi. "Chappa is a deadly fighter, he's very quick with a wide offense. So we will train you until I think you're ready to defeat him." Yokashi says. "How long will that take?" Arashi asks. Yokashi thinks to himself and holds up three fingers. "THREE YEARS!!?!" Arashi freaks. "No you dunderhead three months!" Yokashi corrects him. "Oh." Arashi exhales. "Now I want you to use your speed and don't hold back." Yokashi commands. Arashi charges at Yokashi, only for the master to grab his legs and throw him to the ground. "Hmm. Perhaps we should try a different type of training." Yokashi says as he walks his young pupil to the side of the house to the Senzu Garden. "So what kinda training are we doing now?" Arashi asks. "The sun comes up in ten minutes, I want all the Senzu picked and put in this plastic bag." Yokashi tosses the bag to Arashi. "I'd hurry if I were you, it gets to be over 150 degress in Shigai." Yokashi says. Arashi, relunctantly, picks Senzu at a slow pace. "150. Like that really means something. And this is supposed to teach speed?" Arashi complains. A few minutes later, the sun peeks out over the valley, causing Arashi to cover his eyes due to the bright light.
