The figure turns out to be Shichiro and he brought Minoru along with him.

Inuyushi: Who are you?!

Shichiro: Your demise looking you dead in the face

Inuyushi: It doesn't matter how many weaklings you send at me it won't stop my ambition

Shichiro: Your ambition to murder your own son and absorb his power like he was a spare battery pack? You are the lowest life form in humanity

Inuyushi: You.... You're in the Inochi Clan! But how?!! I thought they were all extinct

Shichiro: So if you're Abuza's father then that means you're the one who killed my sister

Inuyushi gets angry.

Shichiro: Your opponent is me now

Shichiro charges and punches Inuyushi in the face. Inuyushi gets up and Shichiro grabs him and hits him with an uppercut. Minoru helps Abuza up.

Minoru: Can you walk?

Abuza: Uggh... Yeah....I have to finish him off

Minoru: You're not any condition to do anything. My dads got this

Shichiro dodges Inuyushi's attacks and throw a hard blow to the abdomen to Inuyushi.

Inuyushi: So this is the power of the Inochi

Shichiro: We can end this the easy way or hard way, it's your choice. I'm on a whole other level you could only dream of reaching

Hanhocko suddenly appears.

Minoru: Who's this guy?

Abuza: I fought him before. He shouldn't even be able to stand and yet he made his way all the way here

Hanhocko: We're leaving. We didn't come here to fight against these nearly extinct species. We'll return in time. 2 in half years is all it'll take for you to reach your goal

Inuyushi: Right. Do it

Hanhocko prepares to use a technique for them to escape without a trail. Right before he does Abuza dashes and punches Inuyushi in the face with all the little power has left. Abuza falls to the ground and Inuyushi and Hanhocko escape. Later they head back to Abuza's house.
Abuza sits on the couch with a frustrated blank look on his face. Shichiro sits on the couch next to him.

Shichiro: Abuza you did your best to stop him but--

Abuza: But I was too weak! The chance to finally take him out was right in front of me.... And I failed

Shichiro: You're still young. The power that he had came from intense training and experience. You're expecting too much from yourself it'll only disappoint you without being patient. And training on your own is good but without the knowledge or the proper teachings you won't get far

Abuza: Then what else am I supposed to do?

Shichiro: That master in our city I told you about is still an option

Abuza remembers when Shichiro told him about the master.

Shichiro: I'll give you some time to think. Let me know soon, we're leaving in the morning

Shichiro and Minoru leave. At sunset Abuza heads to his clans den. He goes inside to talk to Shichiro.

Shichiro: Abuza. So did you make up your mind?

Abuza: I did and I decided to go with you to train with the master

Minoru and Karamee over hear the conversation.

Karamee: Your really coming home with us?!!

Abuza: Yeah, I guess I am

Shichiro: We're leaving at 9:30am sharp so make sure you've packed everything you'll need

Abuza goes back home to pack his belongings.
Abuza goes into his room and starts to pack his belongings. Kasumi walks pass his room but didn't want to interrupt what he was doing so she went into her room.Abuza stops halfway into packing and goes to bed. The next morning Abuza finishes up packing his bags.
Kasumi walks into his room.

Kasumi: So you were just gonna leave without saying anything huh?

Abuza: Kasumi you know I don't know how to say goodbye

Kasumi: Well you're gonna learn today

Kasumi hugs Abuza.

Kasumi: We're really gonna miss having you around. All the trips and journeys we went on together it taught me so much. It showed me how important friends are

Abuza: Me too

Shichiro lands his airship next to Abuza's house.

Abuza: That's him

Abuza goes outside and sees Ankara and Maraza running.

Ankara: We got here just in time!

Maraza: Kasumi told us you might be leaving. We weren't sure but we had to be on the safe side and come down here anyway

Kasumi, Taaru, Zandai and Gretanzu come outside.

Abuza: All of you came just to say goodbye to me?

Zandai: We're not just gonna sit back while our friend is going away

Kasumi: Abuza we're your family now

Kasumi flashes back.

When Kasumi met Abuza in the flower shop.

Kasumi: When we first met you were so shy and insecure

She flashes back to when the bandits attacked the city.

Kasumi: Then I saw you also had a kind heart, a strong will to protect when those bandits showed up and tried to take over everything

She flashes back to the battle with Xian.

Kasumi: Even after all of that you still didn't give in to anything that tried to cause any type of harm. You've matured so much since we first met. You're not that little crab hiding behind a shell anymore

Karamee gets off of the airship.

Karamee: Abuza! My dad said we have to leave now so we can make good timing before the wind picks up

Abuza: Well I guess this is goodbye

Everyone gathers around Abuza for a group hug. As Abuza is about to get on the airship Zandai and Gretanzu stop him and give him a photo they took together. In the photo is all of them in a group picture.

Gretanzu: That way we'll always be with you

Abuza: Thanks. It means a lot to me. But I'm not going away forever you know

Abuza gets on the airship and it takes off.

Abuza (In His Mind): My whole life I always wanted to know how it felt to be important to someone. I used to watch the world from a wall of glass like a spectator in the audience. If I had never left Stone Valley I never would have gotten to where I am now. Maybe all the things I went through happened for a reason. But now it's time to walk a new path
