			===Opposing the Black Cross===
			After some time, Kinu and Kane met with an [[England\|English]] wanderer [[Eamon Hathaway]], unaware that he was a [[Black Cross]]. When Eamon asked about the same symbols, both men informed him of the glyphs, gave their riddle scrolls, and stated that their ally Yasuke held a [[Isu beacon\|keystone]]. In response, he gifted them a [[wood]]en [[elephant]]. Later, they were present when Naoe returned with an unconscious, bloody Yasuke, left for dead by Eamon and his protégé [[Nirmala]]. The next morning, he and Kane gleefully saw Yasuke awake but they were told to go when Rufino came. Outside, they met with Naoe, whom they admitted about their previous talk with Eamon. After being scolded by Naoe, both men saw Yasuke standing as Naoe informed him and Rufino of the stall cleaners' stupidity. Thus, Kane and Kinu stayed behind for Yasuke while Naoe and Rufino left to confront the Black Crosses.<ref name="DoubleCrossed">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Featured Events]]'' – [[Double-Crossed]]</ref>

			However, Yasuke asked Kinu and Kane to accompany him to the [[Wakasa Temple\|temple]]. At the door, Yasuke entered into the cave alone while Kinu and Kane stayed outside. While waiting, Kinu and Kane managed to retrieve [[Kassandra]]'s treasures. After some time, Kinu looked at Kane, who began to doubt their survival. Fortunately, they saw Yasuke, Naoe and Rufino exit the temple alive. Before leaving, Yasuke broke the keystone and threw inside right before it shut, making sure it remained closed indefinitely.<ref name="Buried Secrets">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Featured Events]]'' – [[Buried Secrets]]</ref>

	In 1582, Kinu and Kane became amateur treasure hunters and came across small [[Isu beacon\|talisman]]s and riddle scrolls about a secret treasure. This led them to come across a large door with [[Isu\|unknown]] [[Isu script\|markings]] in southern [[Wakasa]]. Arguing about what glyphs they pressed before, their argument brought the attention of Naoe and her ally [[Yasuke]], who met with them. Naoe soon recognized them as the poachers she fought with in the past and rejected to help them at first. While reminiscing, Kinu developed a sort of infatuation with Naoe, who did not reciprocate the same feelings. Both men soon shared their findings and informed them of a glyph nearby.
