The apparent ability to bring out a weapon from nothing was both useful and neat. But Minato didn't voice that, yet, as he shifted into his usual, battle ready stance. His sword, far shorter in length compared to Sephiroth's, was gripped in his right hand.

As always, he would make the first move and Sephiroth would react. It’s either him or Sephiroth to move first. Minato stare at the swordsman, quietly and briefly, before he ran in and attempted to land a blow. With the sheer difference in their skills, Minato would have to do his best and give it his all.

No matter how painful this training would get.
