"Not at all if you can leave the white lotus at any time you wish....your sensei's sensei did" Hanzo says shocking Y/N

"Wait Mr Miyagi was a member of the White lotus?" Y/N asked

"Yes as was his father before him but Miyagi only joined for a short while at least that's what my father told me" Hanzo says

"How exactly does becoming a Master work?
Y/N asked

"It's actually a simple process...you start out as a.......Lotus trainee the after some years of training you become a Lotus elite.......then over the period of time you will stand in front of the White lotus council and they will judge if you will become a Lotus Master and only thing will you be able to take on your own lotus trainee" Hanzo explained

"So a White Lotus Master is the highest ranking?" Y/N asked

"No that goes to the Lotus Grand Master" Hanzo answered and Y/N nodded understandingly

"So you want me to become you student?" Y/N asked again

"Yes....in recent years the white lotus had allowed foreigners to join the clan while back in the old times only people of Asian decent were allow to join" Hanzo explains

"I see so are you sure I'm the right choice for this?" Y/N asked and Hanzo without hesitation nodded his head

"Yes...Y/N I have watched you since the tournament began...you have one thing I haven't seen in a while in a lot of young fighters.... determination and heart.....and you have the heart of a warrior Y/N I can see it in your eyes" Hanzo says

"You really think I have what it takes to join the White lotus?" Y/N asked

"I do" Hanzo says confidently

"I know this is a lot to take in for you and I know you already have a lot on your plate already which is why I won't forget you to become my student I'll leave it up to you" Hanzo says

"Thanks for this opportunity Master Hanzo but I'll need some time to think about it" Y/N says honestly and Hanzo nodded understandingly

"I understand Y/N no pressure" Hanzo says getting up as did Y/N

"I should be getting back to everyone else"

"Of course it was nice to officially meet your Mr Barnes" Hanzo says with a bow

"No it was a Honor to meet you Master Hanzo and I'll do my best to impress you out there" Y/N says but Hanzo shook his head

"Pretend like I'm not even there you do your Best for yourself not for me understood?"

"Yes sir" Y/N says before taking his leave and Hanzo watched him leave and have a small smile

"He reminds me of a younger you....mike"

Beach

Y/N and Miguel where walking on the back after getting warning up by chozen and both boys saw their respective sensei's about to fight each other

"Hey, hey, hey!" Miguel yells getting their attention

"What the hell are you two doing?" Y/N asked the both of them and both Johnny and Daniel looked at each like they just had been caught by their parents

"We're not leaving until the two of you tell me what's going on" Miguel tells the two who were now sitting down in the sand

"That's fine with me. It's a topless beach-" Johnny tried to say but was cut off by Miguel

"I'm serious!" Miguel shouted cutting Johnny off

"I thought you guys were done with this shit" Y/N says crossing his arms

"We Were but we never really are, I guess" Daniel said nodding his head

"LaRusso just found out his sensei isn't who he thought he was. And I just found out mine is exactly who I thought he was. And I'm never getting rid of him" Johnny admitted

"Look, it sucks. But….it doesn't change the fact that you turned a bunch of bullied kids. Into one of the most badass dojos this world has ever seen" Y/N said making Daniel and Johnny raise their heads

"Sure, you taught us some things that your Senseis taught you, But you guys added something new on top of it. Did Kreese turn a…a wimpy, skinny little kid into one of the All-Valley champs in six months ? Did he fix me when I was broken?" Miguel asked Johnny who shook his head

"Not a chance" Johnny shook his head

"And Mr Miyagi" Y/N said looking at Daniel

"Did he take each and every one of those kids from the Valley when Cobra Kai came back ? Did he crane-kick Silver out of the Valley for good ? did he turn a common troubled kid like me into one of the best fighters this Entire has ever seen" Y/N asked his sensei who chuckled

"No he didn't" Daniel said with a smile

"OK !" Miguel said punching his fist in exclamation

"So are you two gonna let your issues with your sensei's gonna keep you from doing what you need to be doing? Going in there and being the sensei's that we need to win this world tournament? that Y/N and Sam need to win this world Tournament?" Miguel says

"Hell no" Johnny said Immediately standing up as Miguel nodded his head

"You make a good point" Daniel finally smiled accepting Johnny's offer to help him up

"What do you say we hit the gym and get Sam and Y/N ready to win this thing ?"

Giving Johnny's idea a look, Daniel had soon smirked as a lightbulb went off in his head

"I got a better Idea"
___________________________________________

Sometime Later the streets of Barcelona

Continuing their run through the CIty of Barcelona Y/N, Robby, Miguel and Sam continued to run for their lives as Johnny and Daniel chased them on a vespa scooter with Johnny yelling gibberish Spanish at them while throwing bottles

Y/n, Sam and Daniel stood atop a bench for balance looking down at the city of Barcelona as they continued to practice their Kata

Their training had only continued as they stood within one of Barcelona's most famous buildings. In their fighting position Y/N and Sam continued to spare with Johnny and Daniel practicing their different forms of offense and defense

As the day continued their training raged as Y/N and Sam 2v1'd Johnny leading to Sam kicking the back of his leg with a smile beginning playful banter

Continuing their training through the day until the sun started to fall the group ran through the city to an old abandoned castle continuing their training in jabs and Kata. And of course ending the day with a run, finishing their run up a series of steps where Johnny and Daniel waited for them

And once they reached the top they all high fived and celebrated with their Sensei's and Father figures knowing they were ready for whatever Tomorrow was gonna throw at them

With Y/N on the beach

Y/N wanting to clear his head for tomorrow's semi finals match as he walked along the beach and He notices an older man, sitting cross-legged on the sand, eyes closed, deep in meditation. Curiosity piqued, he approaches him and as he God closer he recognizes the older man

"Master Hanzo?" Y/N says getting the older man's attention

"Ah, Y/N what are you doing out so late at night you have a match tomorrow you should be resting" Hanzo says and Y/N sighed

"Yeah I know I'm just uh.... clearing my head"
Y/N says honestly and hanzo nodded understandingly

"Take a seat Y/N" Hanzo says simply as he kept looking out at the ocean

"Uh okay" Y/N says taking a seat next to Hanzo as both of them looked out at the ocean

"Ambition is a good companion, but do you know what is required to be truly great?" Hanzo suddenly asked and Y/N looked at him confused

"Is it... balance?" Y/N asked and Hanzo chuckled and nodded

"Yes, balance is essential. But inner peace is the foundation of greatness" Hanzo says confusing Y/N even More

"Inner peace? I thought that was just for meditation or... yoga" Y/N responded

"It is a common misconception. To find strength in martial arts, you must first understand the battle within yourself"

"The battle within?....I'm perfectly fine within myself I feel perfectly balanced" Y/N says

"Look at the ocean. Some days it is calm, others it is stormy. In martial arts, as in life, you will face both calm and chaos. Your ability to navigate them defines your path"

"So, what your saying I'm not completely balanced within myself"

"Correct you may think you are completely balanced but even I can tell by the look in your eyes something is still holding you back from finding true balance.....true Peace within yourself" hanzo tells the young man

"When you learn to embrace peace in your heart, you can face any challenge with clarity and purpose" Hanzo continued

"But I don't get it I've learned so much I feel like I'm perfectly balanced" Y/N Says

"Close your eyes and breathe, young warrior. Feel the rhythm of the tides… Let your thoughts wash away like the waves"

Y/N closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, the sound of the waves growing louder in his ears all he saw was darkness he as he focused even more the sounds of the ocean disappeared and he heard voices of his past

Being in Juvie

His anger and rage

Losing the first all valley

Stewart's betrayal

Tessa's coma

Hawk breaking Demetri's arm

Miguel being In coma

Losing Robby as a friend

Breaking Moon's heart prom

Suddenly Y/N's eyes snapped open and he was breathing heavily as he looked at Hanzo who kept his clam demeanor

"What did you hear?"

"My..... My past all of my failures all of my weaknesses...all the things I thought I'd got over  it all"

"Sometimes in life we think can get past certain things in our life but....in reality some people just suppress it" Hanzo says

"How....how do I truly get past this?" He asked Hanzo

"Like I said you must learn to Master inner peace within yourself only then you will get pass your past failures"

"I....I think I understand" Y/N says unsure of he even believed himself

"Remember Y/N...you only do what you can do, you will never be more than what you are now" Hanzo says And Y/N nodded and stood

"I uh....I should probably get back to the hotel gonna big day tomorrow.... I'll be seeing you master Hanzo" Y/N says bowing before leaving the older Master who closed his eyes and started meditating again
