| - That's good then. You may tell Katsumi that I am assured of her safety. What is your name? I will remember those that you have helped my family.
- The ninja enclave lies in the forests west of the Zen Gardens. My Uncle ranks high within their order, but how high he does not tell even me. Since my father...passed, Uncle has been the only family that I have.
- As you say. Still, I think you have much to learn. Go seek my niece and help her as much as you can. When you are done there, return to me and we will speak again.
- Nonsense. Now, I give you a choice. Choose carefully. I have two needs. One is that my niece may still need protection. The other is that my clan is sorely pressed within the forest. We have need of those that do not fear danger to assist us. Which will you pursue: loyalty or adventure?
- Have you found my Uncle yet?
- Now that my wish is made, my head is clearer and I realize that I need to reach my Uncle to let him know I am safe. He is older and worries about me.
- I'll go back and help Katsumi
- You've got that right. Thank you. I will return to Katsumi.
- Kat...I don't have time for...
- My Uncle can be hard to find.
- Ninjas? Tell me more!
- Yes. You see, there is one other thing I could ask you to help me with, if it's not too much trouble.
- Yes. Exactly. Good luck, [name].
- Yes. Heh. That sounds like her exactly.
- You just found the Recipe: Ninja Boots!
- You know Katsumi then?
- I would be glad to help you out, Katsumi. Where's your Uncle?
- You...are NOT Katsumi. How did you come by that glass rod?
- Oh good! Since you're alone, I'm guessing that Uncle needed to stay at the enclave. He knows best, I am sure...but why are you here now?
- Well...no. He belongs to a clandestine organization. He is a powerful man.
- So you have chosen to abandon an innocent to possible doom while you race into the unknown to face foes you know nothing about. You have much to learn about caution and loyalty, young one.
- Thank you, [name]. I am indebted to you, but first let me give you this small gift as a token of my appreciation.
- I want to help YOU. Katsumi is safe now and won't have any more troubles!
- You niece is just fine! The Kokeshi aren't even a threat if she stays in that shrine, so the need seemed to be greater here, with you.
- Good. I am glad that you prize loyalty over irrational adventure. Katsumi needs your help. Ask her what she needs. If she releases you from duty to her, then return to me and I will reward you for your loyalty. Be wary, [name]. The world is not what it was.
- No. Do not go into the forest. If the ninjas found you there without an invitation... well... just do not go there. Instead, you must take this glass rod and ring the iron bell you'll find along the forest's edge to the north.
- You must trust what you do not understand if you are to converse with the ninja.
- My family has been part of the enclave for many generations. My Uncle's name is Kin. He is a ninja.
