Heise and Wukong would eventually arrive in The Fire Country and would return to make their way to the Leaf Village. Heise was surprised at the village and how much it continued to improve no matter how long his absence was. He arrived in front of a store that was almost as old as the village itself. When he sat one of the stools, Wukong joined him. When the waiter turned around he dropped the bowl in shock of Heise and the monkey.
“Yukimura… Is that you?” The waiter said. He then turned to the monkey, “So the rumors are true about you being the monkey sage” He continued.
“He’s no Yukimura, at least not anymore” A voice said from behind. Both Wukong and the Waiter peered behind to see who was entering the store. Heise knew who it was. At least by voice. It was his teacher. A sort of smile drew itself upon his face.
“Sensei Shizou.” Heise said.
“Senju Yukimura, Senju Heise, The Monkey Sage, Starter of Wars, The Wooden King, The Prodigal son of Hashirama. Whatever They’re calling you now.” A Man in a usual Leaf Jounin Garb said. Heise stood up and turned around to give the Blue haired Ninja a hug.
“It’s been a long time my friend.” Shizou said. Heise smiled as he sat down and motioned for Shizou to sit down as well. He turned to Shizou and smiled.
“Why did you call me here Young one?” He asked as he motioned for the waiter. “I’ll take a saki.” He said to the waiter. Heise wondered if he should mention the prophecy to Shizou. He turned to Wukong for a look of reaffirmation but nothing came.
“You’re the only connection to my parents. I need to know who they were. And I need to get stronger.” Heise replied. Shizou sighed and nodded.
“Understood. In a week.”
