He was aboutt to get onto the schizophrenic Daedric hearing things that didn't happen when Gouda started breaking everything down. The empire was gone, the Akatsuki were enemies, and Gouda didn't really care about Ieyasu as much as Ieyasu respectively cared for Gouda. It was just a kick in the head and it all really hit him right then. Ieyasu really was alone, just like he was in the start.

"Really? After all the shit we've been through, and that's how you really feel," Ieyasu was just repeating the obvious at this poin, Gouda was only getting older obviously what happened back at the Land of Iron was getting to him. His only brother died right in front of him, and he wasted most of his natural life in a fit of rage in his fight against the leader of the samurai. It made sense why he wouldn't really care about much anymore, he didn't really seem that kind of type even before those events.

He really had nothing to lose again, right when he gained something again. Ieyasu's fists tightened and clenched his jaws, becoming flush as he took look away and back to Gouda.

"but that's alright, isn't it? It has to be, I can't fucking look Keru in the eye anymore..."

Ieyasu followed Gouda to Kusa, gathering all of his belongings including all of the other money he gained from being with The Drunken Dogs [DM can specify amount] carrying it among his other things as he gathered what few possessions he had and putting it all into his backpack and what didn't fit into his jacket. During all of this time, he had a lot of time to think about everything that was happening. As safe as the Drunken Dog was, the Akatsuki knew all about it and could stop in at any moment to finish the job. Keru and Bruce had no hand in that part, out of respect there was simply no way he could stay with them.

What about Kōgakure? Just run back to a miserable life and give up? Give up on Gyugii's dream? Just cower and hide when the going gets too tough? No. Things couldn't end like this, there had to be something at the end of the darkness. Ieyasu would stop through Kōgakure, but he had other plans than simply sitting back down and taking up the normal shinobi life. He kept silenty following Gouda to the Steel, once they arrived at the village gates he couldn't help but unconsciously tense up.

It was wrong to be around Gouda, he felt alienated being around the guy. He wasn't even sure if he shouldn't have made the decision to come back here instead of skipping town entirely and seeing what became of that. Ieyasu just knew that whatever came next wouldn't matter in the grand scale of things. The world was going to hurt for its cruelties, one step at a time Ieyasu wanted to become one of the strongest people in the world and claim a land of his own. A people of his own. Power of his own. After Kōgakure, it was just going to be his ride through the world.
