Kitaro had been hiding up in his mountains for the past few weeks watching the skies after his adopted daughter Aori went off into the lands below to learn what she needed to from life. He hoped that she survived her quest and that she would never cross someone stronger than her. Kitaro had done his best training her in the time they had to train and done his best to make her understand what was going on and what was out there in the world. Now though Kitaro had detached himself from the memory like all others except for the actual memory of it and the carvings in his wooden shack at his home higher up in the moutains. But now Kitaro had come down to search for 2 ninja's with potential for the future. After Kitaro had taken Yonbi and sealed it within himself he knew the akatsuki would be coming but according to the sky an even darker omen was coming to the land.
Kitaro rushed down the mountain and away from the Kumogakure lands. He had explored them time and time again and the only one there that was any help was the kage and kage's were to attached to their villages to be any help in times like these. As to be expected. Back when Kitaro was Raikage he never once betrayed a single belief of someone in the village for beliefs from the outside no matter who or what form they came in. Kitaro was dedicated to his people and only his people and he would give his life the most painful way with his deepest fears realized in order to save just 1 of them. They were his family and he felt them all. So when it came time for Kitaro to leave he knew he must and left without word. They had a new leader who was perfectly capable of guiding them through life.
Kitaro remembered as he went across the fields and plains searching for ninja. He saw small children and felt bad as he knew the chances for there survival in the dark time that was coming to the world were slim. Only the strongest and the most adaptable and set up would be capable of survival in the future. Kitaro expected a great war and a great battle that would decide the dominance of the land. Kitaro shuddered at the idea and dodged an incoming ninja star ignoring it and heading off towards the land he had not explored since he was a sanin of the leaf village so long ago.
Kitaro after more travel stopped in the stone village. It was a long journey but he made it quick due to his incredible speed. Kitaro cracked his neck and walked towards the town. His spikey red hair like usual, his tall height towering over the younglings running around in the village outskirts. Yaouchi's robes bouncing off the ground but remaining there perfect color. Blood red crosses on his robes let everyone know this was Kitaro the legend. Finally his bright white painted face told everyone he would do anything for what he believed in and what he believed in was survival and those close to him. That was his goal. Finally Kitaro reached the front of the city.
