History
Kai: Ninja of Fire
In hopes of helping Zane uncover his memories, Kai decided to travel to the small village Zane had lived at before becoming a ninja.
Upon arriving, Zane happily greeted Genn, but the balding man was nervous and hesitant about the Ice Ninja's presence. Genn attempted to shoo Zane away from the village with the excuse that the village was typically busy that time of year, but Zane immediately saw through Genn's lie and offered to help instead.
The next morning, Kai and Zane realized that the lack of activity in the village was peculiar, noting that Genn's words should be true: it was the busiest time of the year - sleeping in was not an option for the village. Zane and Kai headed over to Genn's hut, only to find no sign of life.
Genn later admitted to being a part of the Skulkin's plan, sorrowfully stating that he had no choice. Zane told him that the Skulkin would not likely return, though if they were to, Zane and Kai would be sure to protect the village. Genn and Zane briefly hugged before the other villagers eagerly thanked the two ninja for their help.
