Plot[]
As Splinter kneels on a platform overlooking the lair's tide pool, he proceeds with his lesson for the day. The true warriors’ greatest weapon is his body, Splinter says, as Leonardo and Raphael face off. Their arms are tied behind their backs as they balance on the rocks and posts which are partially submerged in the water. He tells them the body must work in harmony with the mind and spirit. Raphael says he has two sais that would beg to differ. Splinter continues, saying that the true ninja must be like the wind – floating instead of jumping, rising instead of leaping.
Seated cross-legged on the upper railing, with a bag of chips in his arms, Michelangelo interjects that the true ninja turtle knows when to go for snacks. As he reaches into the bag, Master Splinter’s walking stick whistles through the air to strike him, knocking him off his perch. The walking stick bounces back into Splinter’s hand and Mikey groans in pain. Leo and Raph start laughing.
