Master's Blade
No one need know how famous this blade of mine is. With the sword strap still clenched between my teeth, a small smile graces my lips. Yes, despite my overwhelmingly disadvantageous position, I am smiling. "Belief lies at the heart of the warrior's way." My master believed that I would be strong enough to overcome this, and so the battlefield is mine for the taking. (From the mutterings of Masamune)
