Naturally, there's something a bit thrilled about meeting with Tonbokiri for something like this. He highly doubts he'll have much in the way to provide in terms of a challenge in their sparring, but...

Isn't that why Tonbokiri is the teacher here? It's fine, he'll just have to do his best to learn as they go.

So Minato turns up not much later, a sheathed sword in one hand, his other hand tucked into his pocket--though he's pretty quick to lift that one in a wave.

"Tonbokiri-san, hello. Thank you for agreeing to teach me."

He's honestly pretty eager to learn some legitimate technique, since all he's got is basically what he was able to put together over a year of fighting Shadows and praying for the best.
