After someone leaked information about the White Room, the government launched an investigation and the White Room program was ultimately shut down with Kiyotaka's father serving a life sentence in prison. Kiyotaka later met his mother and she was in complete tears as she ran up to Kiyotaka and gave him a tight hug while repeatedly saying sorry to his son, Kiyotaka hugged her mother back and comforted her as a nice feeling spread across his body which made Kiyotaka's lips slightly curl up. After explaining everything to his son, Kiyotaka learned that it was her who leaked the information about the White Room. Kiyotaka and his mother left Tokyo and went to Osaka where he later learned he had a stepfather, but what shocked him more was that his stepfather was a chief of a ninja village! Kiyotaka was completely bewildered by the sudden reveal, he only knew about ninjas when he was reading books but he didn't think that they actually existed. He also learned that he has a stepbrother younger than him named Kazuki Araya, who was next in line to becoming the next chief of the village and that they would be going on missions together from that day forward. A few weeks passed, Kiyotaka had managed to adjust to his new life and was now training with Kazuki, the two quickly became good friends during the past couple of weeks and had successfully completed their first mission together. 6 years later, Kiyotaka and Kazuki were now being called "The Two Legendary Ninja" and was the two strongest ninja of their village. After finishing up another mission, the two went back home to eat dinner when Kiyotaka's mother noticed something was bothering Kiyotaka while they were eating. She later confronted his son about the matter and found out that he wanted to experience what a normal school life would be like. His stepfather who was against at the idea at first, later agreed with the condition of Kiyotaka returning right after and start assisting Kazuki again, which Kiyotaka agreed to.
