He spent the night searching and taking in the surroundings. He thought that here he would stumble across a clue or two. After all, this was old information and here in the cemetery he was among old company. However, there was nothing here that directly relate to the proverb. He thought that he could eventually find something, or even be led to the next tier of clues, but nothing. He was sure that he was in the right place, as the wind element and location in wind country was more then obvious to him, unless it was in fact so completely different that he was oblivious to the answer completely. It was frustrating now, and he had in fact, slept in that graveyard itself. He had the location, in his mind, however now was the time to focus on more of the specifics.
There were two items of note, in his mind. They called it the "Hero's Tear" and the container in which the beast was most likely sealed, or to be sealed within. He would apparently need both of them and then it wouldn't matter where he broke the seal because it said that it could be spilled anywhere. In any case, the first of obvious note was the "Hero's Tear". There was obviously no surplus of water and he couldn't help but wonder about exactly where he could find or conjure tears of a hero. It was only upon brainstorming past events that he realized something... There was already a source of water that was known to those considered Hero's. It was called the Hero's Water, and it was native to Takigakure!
A large, old tree, considered magic in some rights, is positioned at the center of the Waterfall hidden village. According to his prior knowledge, the Hero's water was once considered a fountain of youth; water that brought out immortality in the drinker, and was in truth, an agent that sped up ones chakra metabolism. It could bring out their full potential but only by chipping away at ones life in the same instance. Though the countries hidden village was once based upon it, they forbid the water, the sap of the tree, due to its severe aging and damage to the user. If this forbidden water that was considered that of the "Hero's" still existed, it would exist in the presence of Waterfall Country, and more specifically the Hidden Village itself.
Thus he stood, closing the book. There was really no question his next decision. He would look to find the Hero's Water as an extension of his new found quest. Even if he failed, he would still have a chance of gaining a power of the Hero's Water itself, which most likely had a strength in itself. It wouldn't be a waste of time for a man with nothing to lose; a man with no home. And as he took off, he found that it was much easier to travel instead of the wagon. The wagon was slow and he could travel as fast as he liked to the north... to Takigakure.
