Racing back towards Konoha after a mission that had not discovered its target, Josho Adashino passed close by Amegakure. As he ran through the outskirts, he noticed an important-looking man gazing back at the city. Josho stopped, and, curious, watched the man for a while. After awhile, Koutetsu felt a presence behind him. It was almost like he was being watched. He ignored it for a bit, deciding to wait for what the presence would do. As he waited, he swiftly grabbed a kunai out of his sleeve, although it was obscured by the long sleeves of his kimono.
