They bring him to cave away from the water and Sirius says they’ll meet him in the Spring but before they leave Chibi asks them about his relation to Monsoon. When the silver pup revealed it as a lie he asks Chibi that he doesn’t want to be related to him and he vows once he gets bigger he’ll avenge his mother’s death by slaying Monsoon. But was told by Sirius not to think of something like that or act like the Ohu Army.
