While Usagi collects water and reminds himself to be patient, the mind controlled Turtles, mistaken for kappa, rise from the river and engage the ronin in combat. As he lays a hand on each, they come under his influence, their eyes going white like his own, and he orders them to hunt down and kill Usagi, but to leave Kintaro unharmed.Īs they camp for the night, Kintaro continues to berate Usagi and becomes outraged when told he could help with the campfire. Pretending to be an injured old man, Jei approaches the turtles, claiming that Usagi attacked him. The ritual brings the Ninja Turtles from their own dimension, much to their confusion. He decides he needs great warriors to destroy Usagi, and performs a summoning ritual with four turtle totems. Akemi leaves Kintaro in Usagi's care, much to the pug's displeasure.įrom a mountain lair, Jei magically watches Usagi and Kintaro depart. They are to deliver Kintaro to a safe temple palace, but Akemi cannot travel due to a leg injury sustained in the battle. Akemi explains that as the Golden Boy destined to have superhuman powers (which he does not yet have), Kintaro has been pampered his whole life, resulting in his unpleasant behavior. Akemi brings Kintaro, a pug, from his hiding place, and he begins to act very bratty. Akemi reveals that a band of samurai lead by a mercenary, Sumo Kuma, attacked in search of the holy child, Kintaro. Usagi arrives at a village left in ruins, where he finds his friend, Akemi. He reveals his name to be Jei, and before he can strike a finishing blow against Usagi, lightning strikes him, and he disappears, leaving behind his smoking spear. As they do battle, the wolf further states that the gods have given him his skill so that he may cleanse the world of evil.
