After Saki's death at the hands of Leonardo Hamato, this original renegade branch disintegrated as Saki's Foot Elites fought amongst themselves for control of the organization. These feuding factions themselves collapsed in the City at War incident, when Karai's Foot Clan and three mutant turtle brothers of the Hamato Clan joined forces to purge the remaining Foot Elites. One Foot Elite, Eikichi Gotoh, secretly survived, and he gathered surviving renegade Foot Ninja into a shadow of the former branch. For years, they were aware of the Hamato-Jones Family's secret, but generally left them alone. This changed after the best-selling author Mikael Buonarotti (the pen name of Michelangelo Hamato) published On the Trails of Purple Dragons, which published many details still damaging to Eikichi's organization. In a sequence of events beginning in Chapter 11:A Prelude to..., Eikichi Gotoh marked Michelangelo Hamato for death, and began to target the Hamato-Jones Family directly. They kidnapped Shadow Jones and her friend Davianna Wallace to lure out Michelangelo directly, but were soon defeated by the combined force of the three Hamato brothers and Casey Jones. Then Karai's Foot Clan secretly intervened and captured Eikichi. In Chapter 23:Following the Leader, Eikichi escaped Karai's custody and again regathered surviving renegade Foot.
