▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|н ι ѕ т σ r у|├▬
Satoshi was born into a family of ninja. Generation after generation, the techniques of the Hatake were passed down. Through the harsh circumstances that each shinobi endured, the ruthlessness of each ninja grew from the academy until death. This was the way for Satoshi. Toned from birth to embrace the cold ways of the art of the ninja, Satoshi progressed through the academy with great promise. His quick unbiased decision making placed him in recommendation for the black ops. Satoshi quickly proved himself as a Jounin and was chosen to become Mizukage, replacing Doku Le who had decided to step down as Kage.

One Year Later
After having served his village as Mizukage for months and months after Doku, Satoshi decided to find an apprentice to take his place. Having been in the office for so long, Satoshi hungered for battle. He longed to go out once again to the field as a shinobi accomplishing missions of the highest priority. However, Sato would not leave the fate of the village to anyone he did not trust fully. Taking Mi Young Roo as his Chunnin apprentice, he trained her in the ways of shinobi and as Great Kage for an entire year. At the near end of the year, Satoshi had gotten wind of batles in each country breaking out involving an army of white robed individuals. Intrigued by the activity and concerned of the Mist's security, Satoshi decided to investigate. He had found out that their leader had been defeated by an individual that no one ever saw only his name had been known. In order to find out the purpose of the white army and their attacks, Satoshi granted Mi Young Roo with the title of Mizukage, now that she had completed her training.

The Restless Walk of a Thirsty Man
After having stepped down to Mi, Sato found himself unburdened by the responsibilities of an office. With his new found freedom, Satoshi began to invest time in unfruitful ventures, investigating curious events and traveling the land. Through an encounter with a band of criminals, Sato realized that his skill had diminished. Frustrated but determined, Satoshi looked to take up his training once again. Learning new techniques and jutsu, Satoshi began to feel meaningful again. Although he continues to train, the urge to enter battle to gauge his strength grows with each new skill and every swing of the Bokken.

Shigeru knows only one thing of his origin: That his birthplace was Konohagakure. He was raised by the Jounin of Yukigakure until he could fend for himself. His teachers were the closest he had to parents. They had told Shigeru that he had been found in the mountains, alone. Shigeru was found with a single scroll with the a leaf drawn upon it. It was later revealed that he had a bloodline trait: Mokuton. It was this fact along with the scroll that he had come from Konoha. In order to keep relations positive with the Leaf, Yukigakure decided to house and keep the presence of Shigeru in the village, a secret. Shigeru was told to always keep his bloodline a secret for everyone's safety so he became fond of Taijutsu and it's almost chakra independent techniques.

Clash in the Land of Snow
Recruited by the Yukikage's ANBU, Shigeru became part of a three man squad. This squad included, Jae Ketsueki and Jounin named Nakura Seishin. Together they were entrusted in dispatching a powerful team of rogue shinobi that had placed a spell upon Crisis, the Yukikage at the time. They set of for the region that they had been spotted and fought head on. Jae was pitted against a kunoichi with an affinity for Bukijutsu. She used a pike but fell to Jae in the end but not before nastily injuring her. Shigeru fought against one who used ink and paper to summon creatures to fight for his stead. Shigeru used the power of the Celestial gates to hold off his opponent for a time before the enemy retreated. Together, Jae and Shigeru faced the final rogue member, a Jounin kunoichi. Nakura had been injured and left the rest to the Genin. Shigeru decided to take on the Jounin himself but his Taijutsu was ineffective against the Jounin's Genjutsu. Somehow, the Jounin retreated but had mortally wounded Shigeru. He was taken back to Yukigakure where he had surgery to undo the deep puncture wound to the abdomen.

Jae's Leaving
After Shigeru had recovered from his last mission, he had met a Chunnin named Ayaki Daichi while leaving the hospital. Jae had taken to her own activities while Shigeru proceeded to regain his strength and even more than that. Shortly after, Ayaki and Shigeru had met at Yukigakure's most prestigious restaurant and took to training together. Soon, Shigeru and Ayaki requested a mission together that required them to travel to Konohagakure and beyond. WHile on assignment, Shigeru and Ayaki had separated. Shigeru stayed in the Leaf while Ayaki traveled to the Mist. While he was there, Shigeru found Jae in Konoha. Estranged by her presence there, Shigeru investigated only to find that Jae had abandoned Yukigakure in hopes of joining the Leaf. Outraged, Shigeru tried to convince Jae to return but did not succeed. Shige decided to return to Snow in order to inquire the Yukikage about Jae's leaving and asked to be assigned to bring her back.

The Chunnin Exams
Shigeru had been entrusted ith the task of bringing Jae back to her village. Ayaki opposed the idea and refused to support Shige. On opposing ends, Ayaki and Shigeru grew apart, leaving him to work alone. Shigeru alone was the single Genin to register for the Exams. In hopes of gaining more authority by rising in rank, Shigeru attended. He knew that he would be able to move much more freely being Chunnin and that would be of much use in his mission to retrieve Jae. The Exams were held in Red Bean country, ruled by a very tasteful emperor. They consisted of three rounds in three stages. The first was a simple battle in an elevator. There SHigeru had been placed to fight against a horned shinobi that seemed to be young but alcoholic. Together they had just begun to fight when they had reached the second stage. There the second round as held. Together, Shigeru and his former opponent had to work together to choose one of twenty one doors where all but one was fatally rigged to trap. They succeeded in opening the right door and were taken to a lobby where the rest of the Genin were determined for a final fight. Shigeru was lined up against a Genin from the Mist. He emerged victorious and was promoted to Chunnin. With his new rank, Shigeru decided to celebrate and spend his mission rewarded Ryo in Takumi village, a merchant village built on tourism and trade. There Shigeru fitted himself with armor and new supplies.

The Blind and the Dead
With the installation of a new Yukikage, the Snow village had been proposed a treaty with the village hidden in the Leaf. The Yukikage accepted and was asked to visit the village and personally speak of the terms and benefits of the treaty. Shigeru had just returned from the Chunnin exams and had been chosen to escort he Kage to the Leaf village. AMong those chosen was Ayaki. Shigeru met up with her again and saw that she had changed dramatically. SHe clearly had degenerated for her appearance was torn and her actions sparked concern in SHigeru of her mental health. It had come to be known that it was Shigeru's leaving to retrieve Jae that had caused such a change in Ayaki. Depression and loneliness had overcome her and broken her. Shigeru vowed never to leave her again and to stand by her side the way she had before he had left such a time ago. Together with several other shinobi, they escorted the Yukikage and went to the Konohagakure. There, Shigeru and Ayaki had encountered Jae. Although, there was something different about her. Jae seemed to recall nothing about her past and nothing of the Snow village, including Shigeru and Ayaki. By the gathered information brought forth by a fellow shinobi, SHigeru discovered that Jae had gone through a procedure that had her memories locked away and suppressed. Shigeru, disturbed and deeply moved planned to bring back Jae's memories by reminding her of her past and her life before the Leaf. A sparring session organized between the Yukikage and Hokage was held at a training field and SHigeru saw his chance. He challenged Jae to a match and proceeded to refresh her memory. Meanwhile, the entire time, Ayaki felt uneasy about Shige seeing her again. She felt that Shige was going to leave her again in an attempt to retrieve Jae. Earlier, before the match, Shigeru had confessed to AYaki his feelings towards her and how much Ayaki was worth to him. During the duration of the match, SHigeru tried to bring back the memories of Jae by asking her of her childhood and family. All the while, SHige became more and more emotional and elated by combat. After a few questions were asked that could not be answered, Jae broke through the seal that held her memories back and returned to her previous self. Unsatisfied and enraged, the severely wounded Shigeru launched a fatal attack from behind that would impale Jae and end her life. Helpless but hopeless, Jae stood by and waited for the end but Ayaki, in a burst of mercy, put herself before the attack and was hit instead. Ayaki died in Shigeru's arms. Quickly, Shigeru took up AYaki into his arm and sped back to the Snow village where he summoned a tree to bury Ayaki in the great snowfield at the village's front.

The Blind and the Dead 2
Having buried Ayaki in the snow, Shigeru had fallen to his wounds and was left to the whim of a blizzard. Near death, a young Genin by the name of Rikuto Sanyu had found Shigeru. She took him to the Hospital where medics rushed to treat him and begin surgery on his severely damaged arm. He had suffered extensive Hypothermia and had fallen into a coma. It wasn't a few hours after the surgery that Shigeru began to change. He was quickly covered by a wooden cocoon. After a few moments of thrashing about, the cocoon cracked open to reveal a conscious Shigeru. After coming out from the coma, Shigeru had been blind and a victim of great Amnesia. Not knowing who he was or what he even looked like, SHigeru became desperate and unstable. With the help of a few Snow shinobi; Ryoichi Kaguya, Zain Hakemoto and Rikuto Sanyu, Shigeru received a new identity and a new place in the village. Called 'Matsu' Shigeru seeks to investigate his true identity and what had caused him to be in such a weakened state.

- Inner Chasms of the Corrupted Mind: The Coma
The hours preceding Shigeru's transformation into 'Matsu', Shigeru's grief, with the help of severe hypothermia, had plunged his mind into a coma. It was during this time that Shigeru had found himself at the base of a tree. By this tree, Shige had been approached by something oppressive but immensely persuasive. Taking form of his beloved, Ayaki, the Beast showed Shigeru's horrid act of murder, over and over. Having lost his will against the Beast and given way under his oppressive presence, Matsu asked for it all to be taken away from him. The Beast heard his pleas and moved to keep Shigeru's subconscious and memories locked away from the 'surface'. Thus, Matsu formed a wall between the two planes of being and took up a new identity as 'Matsu', meaning pine tree, giving him comfort. It is during long sleepless nights, where reality blurs into fantasy, that Matsu can hear screams and cries of a thousand voices.

Post-Genesis
While hospitalized, Matsu was frequently visited by Rikuto. She would give him company and try to help him to remember who he was. One day, while having lunch, Matsu reacted to Rikuto's touch. Having a vision of his past, Rikuto bled from his eyes before gaining his sight once again. Eyes white and blank, Matsu realized that he was of the Hyuuga clan and felt hopeful now that he had part of his identity back. Having the strength to leave the hospital, Matsu went out to speak to other fellow shinobi and meeting new friends hoping to find more about him.

Time Skip
Having recalled his rank and abilities, Matsu became stronger and stronger until he managed to reach the rank of Jounin. With such a vast understanding of Taijutsu and the body's limits, Matsu took up a student, Ryoichi Kaguya. Together they trained their bodies under harsh conditions and strenuous routines. For a year, this went on. Matsu and Ryoichi had left the village to train in the most extreme of climates and environments, not seeing friend nor foe.

Call to Action
With the rise of yet another Yukikage, Matsu realized the Snow village's state of stagnancy. Hoping to help aid the village into development, Matsu went to seek the Yukikage in his new office and ask of him a mission. Wanting to get back in the routine of a shinobi, Matsu asked for the mission most fitted to him by his strengths and weaknesses. Keiji, the Yukikage, assigned him the duty to aid the allied Leaf village with anything the Hokage may need. Eager to fulfill his mission but slightly disappointed, Matsu took on the mission and set sail to Fire Country.

The Voyage of a Lifetime
Having boarded a private vessel, Matsu met the crew and it's captain. The fact that they were headed the same way, was the reason Matsu was allowed to come aboard. Mirroring a band of pirates, Matsu was welcomed like one of their own. Finding fellowship and good times on ship, Matsu created memories that would always to come to mind when the image of a family was ever presented to him. At time to go their own separate ways, Matsu felt deeply saddened and reflective. Having no family and no one close to him, Matsu felt alone. Matsu's loneliness burdened him heavily, having no remedy on a lifelong journey traveled alone.

Overshadowed Soul
Quickly after arriving at the Leaf Village's gates, Matsu began to get visions of a nightmare he would often have when he crossed the snowy fields of the Snow Village. It had begun when Matsu saw Jae just outside the gate. Having no recollection of her or who she was, Matsu simply thought her to be attractive and interesting. Little did he know that his subconscious was shouting out at him at the sight. Jae, seeing him once again, had not moved to kill him but instead moved on. She had been shaken by a sudden gust of a horrible past but left the village with another one of her fellow shinobi. Matsu, oblivious to his past as Shigeru, continued on with his mission to see the Hokage. Meanwhile, the walls of his mind shook with every flap of an eyelash.
