Ankara and Maraza pay for the hotel. Everyone enters the hotel room.

Zandai: It just wouldn't be the same without going on a life changing journey once in awhile

Abuza: I didn't mean to drag you guys into this

Kasumi: Abuza don't feel that way we're happy to help you in anyway we can

Later the sun sets and everyone goes to bed except Abuza. He stays up trying to sense out his fathers location but comes up with nothing.
The next day instead of staying for awhile they leave the city in search for Inuyushi's trail.

Zandai: Are we even getting any closer? It feels like we've been walking for hours

Maraza: We are now shut up and let us lead the way

Gretanazu: Geez

Taaru: Zandai this a serious matter, could you not complain right now?

They suddenly stop. Abuza uses his Sensory Technique and sees they're going in the right direction. Meanwhile Inuyushi is traveling with the people who helped him escape prison.

Hanhocko: We busted you out of jail now what's the plan?

Inuyushi: I'm still thinking on that, but it'll be much more different from the last time

Inuyushi flashes back to his childhood. Inuyushi grew up in a home where strength and power was everything you were nothing without it. When he was a teenager he was in enrolled in a Martial Arts Academy where he was the top student in the whole school even surpassed his father. Later on in his life he met Abuza's mother Tsukina Inochi a member of a nearly extinct clan. To Tsukina seeing Inuyushi was love at first sight. They started dating.
She fell head over heels for him as time went by. Soon Tsukina became pregnant but Inuyushi was happy about something else that didn't have anything to do with a new baby being born. The whole time he used the pregnancy as an experiment to see what kind of power his genes and Tsukina's genes would create. Instead of being a bundle of joy Abuza was a prize in the making for Inuyushi. Months later Tsukina started having contractions and went into labor. She gave birth to Abuza at a nearby medical center. After Abuza was born Inuyushi came to visit.

Inuyushi: Look what we have created. This child could wield so much power

Tsukina: What do you mean?

Inuyushi: My talent and your clan and their rich blood, this boy he could be unstoppable. We could control anything we want. We could have anything we want

Tsukina: Inuyushi you're looking at this all wrong! Our child is not some weapon or tool and we can't raise him like he is. He's an innocent life that we made together and we have to care for him

Inuyushi gets angry silently.

Inuyushi: You can do whatever you want

Inuyushi leaves and disappears never seeing his son again. Abuza and the others reach another city his father walked through.

Zandai: I'm assuming he's not here either

Everyone walks into the city.

Zandai: Another long walk through another city

Abuza uses his Sensory Technique and detect his fathers presence so he pushes everyone to head in the last direction he was located as fast as they can. Abuza sees a flashback of his younger self alone in the dark. The memories made him even more angry and vengeful to find his father. As Abuza gets closer Inuyushi starts to feel his presence as well.

Hanhocko: What is it? Why are you stopping?

Inuyushi: I should have known he'd find out I broke out of prison. That vulture son of mine is on his way here as we speak

Hanhocko: What are we waiting for? Let's keep moving

Inuyushi: No. Look at the landscape it's open and has plenty of space. Let's wait for him to come to us so I can end him once and for all. Then no one will be able to get in my way

Abuza senses that Inuyushi has stopped so he glows gold and dashes to his location.

Kasumi: Abuza!

Gretanzu: He's really worked up

Kasumi: He must have found his dad we need to catch up to him before he does any too risky

Abuza dashes through the woods and reaches his father in the open field.

Inuyushi: I thought you'd show up sooner or later

Inuyushi sees Abuza is alone.

Inuyushi: Where are you little friends? Oh wait did they abandon you like everyone else? I wouldn't blame them

Abuza screams in rage and dashes at Inuyushi in a blink of an eye with a gold power fist.
Abuza turns around to see Inuyushi on the other side of him.

Inuyushi: Always ready to solve any situation with that monster strength of yours. I wonder did you get that instinct from your mother?

Abuza: Don't you ever speak of my mother!

Abuza shoots a gold power blast at Inuyushi. Inuyushi appears on the other side of Abuza.

Inuyushi: If I had stood there for a moment longer that would have actually done some damage

Abuza throws a punch at Inuyushi but appears on another side of him.

Kasumi: Abuza!

Abuza ignores Kasumi.

Ankara: He's under a Probase Mirage he can't hear you we have to take out the caster

Kasumi sees the caster Hanhocko. Taaru, Zandai and Gretanzu charge at him interrupting the flow of his technique. Ankara breaks Abuza from the technique.

Abuza: Where's my father?!!

Ankara: Your father?

Maraza: Abuza your father was never here

After Abuza was released from the Probase Mirage he goes after Hanhocko and starts pounding at him crumbling up the ground.

Gretanzu: Abuza don't you think that's enough?

Ankara: Abuza your dad isn't that far away if we waste too much time here then.....

Abuza stops beating Hanhocko and heads after his father. He comes face to face with him and realizes he was so filled with anger he didn't know he was in a mirage before Ankara showed up.

Inuyushi: I'm actually impressed you broke the Probase Mirage

Abuza comes face to face with Inuyushi.

Inuyushi: Well this is the moment you've been waiting for. Am I wrong? Come on try and take me out. Give it your best shot

Abuza charges at Inuyushi with a gold power fist. The impact causes an explosion from Inuyushi uses his power clashing with Abuza. Abuza then throws a barrage of fists at Inuyushi but he dodges them and jumps back.
Both of Abuza's fist glow gold and he dashes at Inuyushi. He punches Inuyushi in the face and stomach slamming him into the ground.
Abuza sees a flash of all his downfalls and lonely painful memories his father caused.
Abuza screams in rage and pounds Inuyushi through the ground. Meanwhile the others head in his direction.

Maraza: You hear that shouting? It sounds like Abuza

Kasumi: He found his father! We have to get there quick!!

Abuza continues to pound Inuyushi releasing all his built up anger with every bone shattering blow. Abuza focuses all his power into his fist and plows Inuyushi with a powerful gold fist attack. A burst of gold light is seen from the impact of the attack. Abuza jumps back and collapses from exhaustion.

Abuza: *Pant*

Having released all of his anger and frustration he breaks down into tears without knowing why.

Inuyushi: Agh. You really are a lot stronger than you were before

Abuza is shocked to see Inuyushi survived his attack.

Inuyushi: If I hadn't gained this power then that last blow would have been it for me. Looks like I won't have to hold back this time

Inuyushi uses a technique that buffs up his muscles and he charges at Abuza and knocks him through the trees.

Inuyushi: With this strength not even you can match up to me

Abuza glows gold and attacks Inuyushi.
Inuyushi blocks all of Abuza's attacks and knocks down Abuza easily. The others show up. Zandai uses his Chains Technique to hold Inuyushi while Kasumi comes at him with an attack. Inuyushi rips the chains out of the ground and hits Kasumi with them.
He then attack Zandai and Gretanzu. Taaru steps in but he was smashed through the ground. Inuyushi then walks toward Ankara and Maraza.

Abuza: Stay away from them!

Inuyushi turns around.

Abuza: You took everything from me! I swear I won't let you take my friends away from me!!

Abuza glows bright gold. His gold aura is being fueled and strengthen by his emotions. Abuza dashes at Inuyushi with a gold power fist.
Abuza and Inuyushi's attacks match each other's. Ankara and Maraza use that opportunity to heal the others. Soon Abuza's attacks become ineffective on Inuyushi.

Inuyushi: I told you. You can't match up to me now

Inuyushi punches Abuza sending him crashing.

Abuza: N-No....

Abuza uses the last of his strength to get back on his feet and shoots a gold stream blast at Inuyushi.

Inuyushi: You've learned a new move huh?

Inuyushi creates a shield breaking the attack apart causing an explosion. When the smoke clears Inuyushi is standing with a smile on his face. Abuza is shocked to see he stopped his attack so easily as if he had done it before.

Inuyushi: It's been awhile since I was hit with that move. But I have to say you're only half as good as your mother

Abuza was filled with both anger and helpless, having used up all of his stamina he couldn't attack Inuyushi anymore.

Inuyushi: Now it's time for you to serve your purpose, the reason you were created in the first place!

Inuyushi comes at Abuza. Just when he was about to finish Abuza a figure comes out of the woods and punches Inuyushi in the face.

Inuyushi: Who are you?!
