Kintaro went home and told his mother, "I really want to become a great warrior, too." His mother said to him, "I'm sure you'll be a splendid warrior. Actually, your father was a powerful warrior himself. Don't worry about me. Go ahead and go." Kintaro said goodbye to his mother and his animal friends before heading off into the mountains. "Mother," he said, "thank you for raising and taking care of me. I will never forget your kindness. I will come back and get you." After Kintaro grew up, he became a powerful warrior called Sakata Kintoki and vanquished an ogre living on Mt. Oe. Kintaro then sent for his mother, and the two of them lived together happily ever after.
