Maki would leave his house as e was giving it a once over since it being built. Maki thought he would take a trip to the village. Just to check. Maki would walk out onto his pier as he made the rat handsign. The water would bubble as it formed into a bird. It flexed it wings and bowed forward ready for Maki as he jumped onto its back.

Maki flew a short flight in as he returned from the battle. It was triring as he flopped the bird down wherever was close to his front door. "Thats was close." He said aloud. He used up alot of chakra maintaining the bird and other jutsus. It took alot from Maki as he settled on his living room floor. The world slowly blurred as Maki fell asleep.

Maki would wake up on the floor and stretch. He had this pattern on his face from the mat's texture. "Ohhhh, man..." Maki felt groggy as his nap was pretty short. He got up and stretched while yawning. Maki looked across the room at a calendar. Chunnin Exams were coming soon... Maki had only been on two missions but they were failures.

"Uuughhh..." He said aloud. "This is going to be a long week." Maki stood and walked out of his house greeting the crashing ocean and the shining sun. Maki would look at the mainland of the water country. And with a running start, Maki jumped in its direction leaving his home island. He headed for the water village.

Maki stepped out of his house as he shielded his eyes from the morning sun. He stretch as a cool breeze chilled the air. Maki pulled a scroll from his pocket as he enjoyed he breeze. "Fuuton: Reppushou" He said aloud. Maki started out making handseals as he was interested in this technique. He focused his chakra and and felt it flow into his hands. He slammed his palms together making a instant gust of wind. The wind blew he low grass and made light ripples on the water. Maki got closer to the ocean water and made the handsigns again which focused the chakra into his hands as he pressed his palms together.

The wind blew out from his palms as the water rippled violently from the forceful wind.The wind gust was much more focused than his daitoppa. Maki removed his palms from each other as the wind subsided. Maki walked around behind his new home. A dummy stood on a stand as it swayed in the breeze. Maki just put it up while moving into his new home earlier. He stepped up to it and started to make handsigns. "Lets see what this technique has to offer." He focused his chakra and felt the chakra surge into his hands. He slammed his hands together making a fierce wind erupt from the impact.

As the wind impacted the dummy, it flailed from the fierce wind that erupted from Maki's hands. Maki released his palms as the wind stopped and the dummy jerked back violently. It swayed back and forth slowly losing momentum. Maki looked pleased at its effect on a human form. "Wow, this is powerful." Maki made the set of handsigns again as the dummy became steady again. He felt the chakra in his hands again as he slammed his palms together. The wind blew forth surging from the impact of of his chakra infused palms. The dummy and the low grass trembled from the sudden shift and acceleration of the wind. The wind blew up and over its stand. Its string holding on tightly against the force of the wind.

Maki peeled his hands apart as the winds calmed to a light breeze. Maki sighed at his accomplishment so far. He cracked open the scroll again as he looked upon its knowledge. "When acting in conjunction.... Hmmmm..." Maki thought. Maki thought through the technique and found no way to throw a kunai and slam his palms together in time. Maki went through his handsigns again as he faced the dummy. He felt the chakra in his hands as he slammed his palms together. The wind blasted the dummy again send it only holding on by it tether. The wind blew violently shaking the trees and shrubs in line with Maki and his vicious wind.

Maki stood as the wind calmed from his last attack. He cracked open the scroll again as he seen the other effect of the attack. "It could increase a weapons power and speed if thrown during the attack." Maki knew he couldn't do it himself so he lightly whispered. "Baki." "Huh?" He said peeking around Maki's shoulder. "Come out. Were training." Baki stepped out and yawned. Maki pushed the dummy far away almost to the edge of the forest. "Can you hit that from here?" "Hmm..." Baki sad winding up with a shuriken in his hand. The shuriken flew and hit the dummy weakly. Maki started to make a set of handseals as he asked to do it again. Baki wound up as Maki focused his chakra. Baki threw his shuriken as Maki slammed his palms together Maki a vicious wind. The flying shuriken accelerated from the tailwind it received.

Baki looked in awe as the shuriken stuck deeply into the dummy's body. Maki stopped the wind as he peeled his hands apart. "Wow. what was that?" "Fuuton: Reppushou.. great isn't it." "Yea..." Baki replied pulling out another kunai. Maki began the handsigns as Baki wound up to throw. As Maki focused the chakra into his palms. Baki threw the shuriken as Maki slammed his palms together as the wind blew out. The shuriken caught the wind and accelerated into the target embedding itself deeply into the dummy. "heh heh heh. That's deadly" Baki said after impact.

Baki was liking this justu as it did more damage with his shuriken and kuani. But he wanted to push the envelope. He whipped out his scroll opening it and placing his hand over a seal. As a windmill shuriken... appeared from the white smoke. "Come on do it again." Maki started the handseals and focused his chakra as Baki opened the giant shuriken. Maki nodded as Baki wound up to throw the shuriken. He released it as Maki pressed his palms together unleashing the wind. The spinning shuriken blurred slighty as it spun faster from the wind. The shuriken continued to the target as they waited with baited breath. The shuriken sliced completely through the dummy, its lower half flopped onto the ground.

Baki went to go retrieve his windmill shuriken as it flew into the woods. Hopefully, it didn't go into the ocean. Maki tried the reppushou again alone. Maki made the handseals as he felt chakra in his palms. He slammed them together as a fierce wind blew out. The dismembered dummy's stuffing blew about as the violent wind blew. The wind stopped as Maki peeled his hands from each other.

The trees wagged in the wind as they slowly calmed. Maki saw that the stuffing made a huge mess of their backyard. He walked over and picked up the dummy's lower half. The stuffing was spread out behind it. "Urgh... this is going to be hell to clean up or is it." Maki stepped back as he made the handseals and pressed his palms together at the moment Baki returned. The wind blew out as the stuffing and Baki were blown back.

"I'm going to kill you Maki" Baki yelled as he fell back toward the ocean down a short hill. "Huh." Maki said as he caught a glimspe of Baki falling... But nonetheless, the ground was suddenly fluff-free. Maki felt a slight chakra drain as he been doing this jutsu, and splitting it with Baki. He needed him back... but he was in the ocean. Maki waited as Baki came out of the forest soaking wet. "Damn you..." Baki yelled as Maki got on his feet. Baki roared as he ran at Maki.

Maki started up his handsigns as he felt some of his remaining chakra flow into his hands. Baki closed in as Maki slammed his palms together. Baki tried to shield himself from the wind as he struggled to make any progress against the gale force winds. Baki was soon uprooted by the wind and was blown back to the tree line. He landed as Maki felt a greater drain on his chakra. Maki panted as Baki returned to his feet. He roared again and rushed at Maki. He started his handseals as he felt weak.. The chakra gathered in his hands as he slammed his palms together. The wind blew Baki back again but not off of his feet. It only kept him in place this time. Maki started to fall as Baki noticed him fainting. Baki ran as the world grew black. Baki caught Maki before he hit the ground. Maki woke up hours later on Baki's back... "What happened?" He said shaking his head drowsily. "You ran out of chakra.. Idiot!" "Oh.." Maki said as he drifted back to sleep

Maki recovered for a day as he still felt the fatigue from overexerting himself yesterday. He spent the day just relaxing. He wanted to get back to training he felt he didn't complete this session. The moon was high as Maki sat on his porch looking at the downhill slope leading to the ocean.

Maki sighed as mastery of the reppushou was as far as the land of earth. Maki became frustrated that he couldn't finish this. Maki trudged out of his house. The chilly winds bit at his face and neck as he made his way to the back of his home. The dummy swayed in the wind. It was left a paraplegic by Baki's Windmill shuriken attack. Maki started the handsigns as he forgot one. "Damn.." He said. He went through them again as they slowly came back to him. He felt chakra in his hands as he slammed them together. The wind accelerated blowing the dummy around violently.

The wind soon calmed as Maki separated his hands. The jutsu felt new to him after his day long break. Maki felt a light fatigue as he was off of his feet from that incident. The dummy stopped moving as Maki started on his next set of handsigns. "Haaa..." Maki said as he quickly through the handsigns and slammed his palms together. The wind kicked up as the dummy flew back barely hanging on by its string. Maki watched as the grass and trees shook with the furious wind.

Baki peeked up as Maki performed the jutsu... Baki sneered as he was inspired by Maki's determination. He reached out with his hand reaching into Maki's pouch. He brought it around so Maki could see it. Maki saw the glint of a kunai in his eye as he peeled his hands apart. Maki put on a smile as he said. "Do it." Maki started the handsigns again as he presed his hands Baki loosed the kunai at the dummy.

As soon as the kunai hit the air, it shot off like a rocket.. heading for the dummy which buckled in the wind. The kunai was aimed straight for the neck of the dummy. At the kunai hit it made a gash in the dummy's sack skin. Stuffing flowing from it mortal wound. The winds force ripped the remains of the dummy's body from it head its body flew into the sky. Baki screamed "Ya-Ha....!" As he put up his hand out of Maki's shoulder.

Maki sat outside of his house the sun high in the air. The ocean breeze shook the trees lightly as they swayed. Baki was beside the house throwing kunai at a dummy. Every shot had been hitting. Maki decided to crack open a scroll looking at weapon techniques. One stuck out of the others as Maki read it. "Scroll grenade" He said aloud. Baki turned around as he said this and seen he was reading the weapon techniques. "There's one in here about scrolls made into grenades." Ohh.." Baki said as he jogged over to see. Baki went in and came out with a bundle of scrolls They had a large stash of scrolls from a haul a long time ago. All filled with weapons.

They walked out as Baki flipped a scroll in his hand. Baki dropped the scroll as he read the technique. Baki went through the handseals as he practiced them. The handseals came to him quickly. Baki went through the handseals as he focused his chakra. He charmed the scroll into his hand as he focused the chakra into the scroll. The chakra sealed into the scroll as it glowed a light blue color. Baki held it in his hand waiting for something to happen. Maki stood with his mouth open as Baki held the scroll in his hand while it glowed. Maki grabbed Baki's wrist wrenching the scroll from him. Maki would throw it around the backside of there house. Baki tried to chase it but Maki quickly tackled him. "Are you stupid!" Maki yelled as they were on the ground.

They waited a second as the scroll did not explode yet. Maki got up and was flat against the corner of the house as he peeked down at the scroll. It was not glowing anymore. Maki picked it up and chucked it back to Baki. "Nothing." Baki started the handseals "No..!" Maki yelled. Maki motioned for Baki to follow as they headed into the forest. The forest led to a ruin with some high walls. "Here this is better..." They stood behind the wall as Baki started the handsigns. He grasped the scroll tightly it glowed a brighter blue. "Don't look at me get rid of it ..." Maki yelled. Baki threw the scroll over the wall into the open area in front of them.

The scroll landed in the dirt as Maki and Baki ducked behind the solid wall. Baki peeked over the wall as the scroll shone brillantly. Maki pulled Baki back down as the scroll soon exploded releasing all of its weapons. The symphony of shuriken hitting stone rang out. Shuriken flew over their heads embedding themselves into nearby trees and shredding bushes. The clashing and ripping soon stopped as they uncovered their heads. They peeked up looking at the chaos left behind. Shuriken were piled up under the wall they were hiding behind. Some shuriken were stuck in the stone walls.

They looked over the site as it was littered with an open scroll and shuriken scattered about. "Whoa." Baki said aloud amazed by the outcome. Maki sat behind the wall and picked up another scroll... and handed it to Baki. Baki grabbed the scroll and put it on the wall as he started the handsigns. He picked up the scroll and focused chakra into it. It glowed a light blue around its edges as Baki flipped it over his shoulder into the clearing. Baki ducked but still peeking over the edge as the scroll rolled on the ground coming to a stop. Baki waited as the scroll still glowed even in the sunlight.

Baki sat down on the ground and turned to Maki. "Wat's in that scroll?" "Senbon..." Maki said. Baki looked at the wall they were sitting behind as it had small gaps in it. "Are we safe here from the senbon?" While Baki said that Maki was crawling away to another wall several feet away. Baki saw this and ran staying as low as possible as the scroll soon exploded letting loose hundreds of senbon in every direction. Baki dove behind another cover as senbon flew past him. The sound of senbon piercing stone and the stone subsequentally cracking filled the air. After the initial blast senbon rained from the sky as they were also sent upwards.

"Once again I am amazed" Maki said as he looked over the site. The wall they were once hiding behind crumbled from the shuriken earlier and the senbon weakening its composition. "Good thing we moved." Baki said. "Yea" They began resealing all of the shuriken and senbon. It took an hour as the senbon and shuriken were spread out all around the area. As they were cleaning, a bandit appeared... He watched Maki and Baki cleaning ad saw there house. "Heh heh heh.." The bandit snickered. as he trotted toward there house. "Baki someone is over there going to our house..." Maki said as baki looked up. They quickly followed and spotted the bandit trying the front door. Maki would shunshin and grab the bandit in a choke hold knocking him out.

The bandit woke up later as they splashed water on his face... he groaned as he was bound to a chair. "Where's your hideout?" Baki yelled. He punched him in his jaw wanting an answer. "Ahhhh.... The island south of this island." They dragged teh bandit outside and tossed him and the chair into the ocean. Maki quickly made a water bird as they flew over to the south most island of the water country. As they flew over the seen a building several bandits were outside being merry as they landed on the roof undetected. A skylight revealed five bandits and their leader in a central room. "This is too easy..." Maki said. "Throw the senbon scroll grenade down there." Maki opened the skylight slowly as Baki prepared the scroll. He made the handsigns as focused his chakra and grabbed the scroll. The scroll was prepared as it glowed a light blue. Maki held his palm up to signal Baki to drop the grenade. 5 seconds passed as Baki dropped the scroll grenade into the skylight as it landed in the room making a small thud. The bandits watched as the innocent scroll glowed and exploded spreading senbon each being hit with no less than twenty senbon each.

The bandits from outside ran in from hearing the explosion. Senbon littered the walls and riddled the bodies of the bandits. "Shuriken scroll grenade. Go!" Maki said as Baki began his handseals. He poured the chakra into the scroll as it glowed also.... Baki dropped it into the skylight. One of the bandits seen it fall as he tried to signal the others but it exploded as the looked. Shuriken were embedded in their faces and upper bodies as it exploded in mid-air. Several shuriken lodged themselves in the glass pane of the skylight as they watched the grisly scene below.

Maki returned home as he rceovered the scrolls and some of the weapons that weren't in a bandit corpse. When they returned home Baki refilled and resealed the scrolls. Baki looked up as he wonderd about something. "Maki... how did you know when to throw the grenade." Maki turned and said "Well... I timed how long it took for the grenades to explode. "Come with me i'll show you." They headed to the ruins. Maki stood behind a wall as Baki prepared the scroll. He made the handsigns and focused his chakra as he picked up the scroll.

The scroll glowed a light blue as it was ready. "Throw it." Baki chucked the grenade around the corner as it landed in the ground. "Now the grenade takes about ten-one thousandths. to explode. So 5... one thousand... 4 one thousands... Maki counted down as the grenade exploded to Maki's cue. Shuriken implanted themselves into the walls and pillars of the ruin. Som flew over Maki's head into the forest behind them.

Maki had a smug look on his face as it came exactly as he had planned. Baki scoffed at this idea... timing wasn't his thing. Maki found a spring nearby as he made five water clones. They walked into the spring and stood around casually like the bandits before. "If you don't know the timing the grenade could be thrown back. Throw the scroll into my group of water clones." Baki liked this idea as they all looked like Maki. Baki made the handseals as he picked up the scroll and focused it into the scroll. The scroll glowed lightly as Baki just hurled it into the crowd. The clones panicked and two of them piled onto the grenade. It exploded, decimating the clones... the remaining three rushed Baki behind his cover as they stopped short.

"See...." Maki made replacement water clones as Baki resealed the weapons. Baki readied another as Maki's clones took there positions. The scroll was ready as Baki held it in his hand glowing. maki counted in his as he signaled Baki. The scroll landed in the center of the clones as they panicked again but were destroyed by the wave of shuriken. "See no survivors..."

Maki landed the bird outside on the small island behind his home.. Maki dropped the handsign as the bird lost form... falling to the ground... His home stood pristine a he had only left a day ago living in the Mizukage tower... Maki unlocked the sliding door pushing it open... His table was bare as he walked past...

That soon wouldn't be the case as Maki made tea... placing a kettle, cup and sugar in the center of his table.. "No paperwork here.." Maki said.... Dropping sugar cubes into his tea.. and taking a sip.. The crashing ocean and gulls soothed Maki ....

Maki sipped tea for a while as he thought about the village. Tis calm moment turned into nervousness as Maki set his cup down. "Uughh... I can hear the paperwork piling up" Maki said as he walked out of the door.

He stepped onto the pier and made the rat handsign as the water bubbled and formed into the shape of a bird bowing on the water's surface. Maki jumped oon as the surface rippled from the bird flapping its wings. The bird took off into the sky carrying Maki as he flew toward the main island of the water country.

Kotaromoved through the water country as he reached the Southeast shore of the main water country island. A smaller island laid before him as he crossed using his chakra to grace the water's srface. As Kotaro got closer, a house came into view... It seemed to not have been cared for in a while as the grasses and bushes grew wild. the small pier was warped from times effect.

Kotaro walked to the door as he pried it open with his sword. Kotaro walked in as he read a sign that said "Futakongo" on it. The floors creaked as Kotaro walked. Koatro had a feeling that he knew who lived here. He searched in drawers and chest as he plundered the decrepit house.

Kotaro found a book that he chucked aside. It fell open to a page that Kotaro noticed. He kneeled down and peeked at the page as he tensed up. "This... This is Maki's house... Kotaro looked around at the mess he had made.

Kotaro scanned throught the book as he copied the journal of Maki's history as a ninja ... It was short but full of information on several missions and some of Mist's history... Kotaro summarized its contents into his own scroll. he felt this information could be important in the future.

Kotaro's summary of Maki's life:

Maki lived in an apartment in the Water village as he continue to hone his skills. Maki was soon given a team. A hyuuga medic named Shin and another medic named Krim. Another team of ninja escaped the village and they were sent to assassinaate Kimyasha Kaishin who teamed with Hyuuga Xero and Kasai Kaiseraikou and negotiate peace with the grass village.

Soon, Maki left alone making quick time across the sea to the village of grass. Maki went to its capital and was greeted by several guards. They asked him to wait for the Kusakage to arrive. Maki grew impatient and headed into the grass country to continue his training. When he returned to the capital, Myou a criminal threatened to attack villagers in the grass capital.

Baki took on his challenge as Maki watched. Baki fought masterfully, trumping Myou at every turn. But Baki was inflicted by a genjutsu debilitating his ability to continue. Maki jumped in finishing Myou with a three explosive note kunai. Another challenger arrived, a young leaf nin. Maki did not get his name. They fought until guards intervened and escorted Maki back to his hotel. BUt on the way he escaped and fled the Grass country on the advice of a fellow Mist nin.

Maki returned to the horror of monsters in the Water country. He and another Mist nin Senith defeated the monsters. Chunnin exams loomed near as monsters stormed the village itself led by a giant bird made of water. Maki arrived from his home outside of the village and jumped into the fray. As the future Mizukage Near and several other Mist nin fought off the demon bird.

The Mist nin were saved by a missing nin from stone Itaru. Who afterwards murdered the Mizukage Near and escaped capture. Maki found a rival in Cloud nin Kanaye and an enemy in waterfall nin Karo. Maki stepped in as Mizukage. The mist's srength waiivered as several ninja went missing Maki hoped to rebuild from the ground up...

As Mizukage, Maki wanted to turn Mist to isolation. To solidify it's ninja strength before revealing a great force to the ninja world later on in his reign. Maki readied to leave for the upcoming chunnin exams to show what little force Mist could muster to show in the exams.

The journal ends here...

Kotaro returned the book to its old place as e rolled up his copy he stored it on his person. Kotaro exited the home and closed the door behind him as he stood outside the house
