Kagemasa was prepared. He was prepared to go to Hyougagakure and was ready to meet someone who he could call his new and first ally once he was able to make it past the large fifteen meter thick ice covered outer wall of the village. This seemed to be of no concern to Kagemasa as he was more worried about the cold than he was about the wall, and as he slid across the icy landscape, falling into the snow numerous times, he now became aware of what the word "cold" really meant. Knowing that the tired soldiers who guarded the wall and now started to retreat from their posts would have to rest up for tomorrow soon and new ones would take their place in a couple of hours, Kagemasa took advantage of the time he had now and easily started climbing his way up the wall while hanging onto the cracks embedded in it, left there from the endless attacks caused by Kazangakure.

In a couple of hours Kagemasa had made it into the village, climbing into it just as the new soldiers began to take their positions on the wall. With a sigh of relief Kagemasa could now triumphantly walk and explore a village different from his own.
