You were walking down the road one day when you came across an injured white snake. You paused and carefully tended to its wounds.

You couldn't bear the thought of leaving it alone, so you carried it. As you walked, a lean man politely stopped you.

"You tended to Kaburamaru's wounds," he stated in his monotone voice. He thanked you quietly before carefully taking his snake back.

"I am Obanai Iguro, the Snake Pillar. You have my utmost gratitude."
