Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret History of the Foot Clan issue 2

Plot
Present day: April, Casey and the turtles sit in April's van as April and Casey try to plan how to ask Dr. Miller about the ''Ashi No Himitsu. ''Leonardo spots Dr. Miller entering a limousine with Karai and they decide to follow them. Karai realizes they're being followed (by April's bright yellow Volkswagen van) and a high speed chase ensues. The chase transforms into a battle, with Foot ninja leaping from the limo onto April's van, where Leonardo and Raphael fight them off. Karai disables April's van with an arrow to the tire, but not before the turtles plant a tracking device on Dr. Miller. Dr. Miller is brought to one of the Foot's hideouts where Shredder reveals himself to be the leader of the Foot Clan, and demonstrates his sincerity in hiring the doctor for his expertise.

Feudal Japan: a young Oroku Saki is being tested by a monk to determine who he was in his previous life. Saki passes over the objects laid on the blanket until they land on the Ashi No Himitsu, immediately recognizing it as his own creation, revealing him to be the reincarnation of Takeshi Tatsuo. Oroku Maji is initially highly distressed by this, but the monk encourages him to look at it as an opportunity to end a cycle of negative karma.

Over a decade later, a feast is being held to celebrate a successful contract carried out by the clan; Oroku Saki and Master Masato's son Hamato Yoshi are honored as heroes. Yoshi leaves his wife Tang Shen unattended for a moment while he speaks with Master Masato. Saki makes an unwelcome advance towards Tang Shen, provoking her to slap him. Saki is poised to strike Tang Shen but is taken down by Yoshi. Before they can battle further Master Masato breaks them up. Masters Oroku Maji and Hamato Masato speak to Saki and Yoshi, telling them they need to cooperate more, as they are both being promoted to chunins. Upon learning that he is not the only one being promoted to chunin, Saki storms out. Saki and Yoshi speak. Saki reveals his frustration due to his father's reluctance to recognize his greatness. Yoshi advises him to meditate on his anger. As he meditates later on, the witch Kitsune reveals herself to him in the form of a three-tailed fox. She leads him to the hidden location of the Ashi No Himitsu, so that Saki may know his true legacy as the founder of the Foot Clan.

Present day: Raphael makes fun of Donatello's screenname as Donatello changes the flat on April's van. The turtles find the location of the Foot and Dr. Miller using their tracking device and decide to infiltrate. Upon entering the building, a fight breaks out. As the Foot Clan fights the turtles, Shredder has Alopex stand guard over Dr. Miller. Shredder enters the battle, claiming it at his destiny to conquer all his foes.
