“We’re almost back at the village, my shinobi friend. Hop on up here and we can talk if you’d like, tell me all about what you were doing back there before you passed out.” Said the old man, and Ieyasu listened well before picking himself up with what strength he had and clambered out to the front where he sat by the old man.

The two spoke to one another, although it was mainly the old man doing the talking given Ieyasu wasn’t a very social person. He only talked when necessary and so forth. It turned out the old man’s name was Ichiro Taira, a simple merchant of sorts who traveled these lands and was local to Konoha given the good trade and opportunity it gave him.

They talked to one another all the way back, Ichiro being kind enough to even stop at Ieyasu’s house given how tuckered out the young man was. The two said their goodbyes, Ieyasu’s respectful nature coming into play as he graciously thanked Ichiro for the service he provided and let him know he’d do his best to repay them if a time ever came. With that, they finally parted their ways and Ieyasu essentially collapsed onto his mat once he got back in there. Testing his limits in chakra and stamina was potentially dangerous, but doing this constantly would help improve on that stamina so Ieyasu wouldn’t pass out as quickly as he did here.
