Andeddo never once met his parents, as they died to a disease when he was a year old. Leaving him with his elder brother, and their uncle. Andeddo's brother Musuko left him, becoming a wanderer, one of the best ninja in the village, who hated his younger brother, for an unknown reason. When he left, Andeddo had been no more than a baby, still only about a year old. His uncle had to raise him, alone, while still grieving for his dead sister.

Musuko could not live with the fact that he thought he had killed his parents, and he only pretended to hate Andeddo, just to protect him, and so he left when both of their parents died, leaving Andeddo with their uncle. Andeddo knows very little of his brother except that he was a very brash, very fiery and irrational man, who absolutely hated the sword, unlike himself, and instead used a scythe. Andeddo was groomed as far back as he can remember, about two, to become the next great ninja of Boufuugakure. He Has been given lesson after lesson, drilled in the various skills required of the position he was expected to take up.

Andeddo first picked up a blade at the age of five, and could almost perfectly use it, in an old style thought long forgotten, so old in fact that none living knew how to use it, though knew of it, had heard tales of it's existence, but none of the legends spoke of how to use the style. His uncle could only stare in shock, numbly feeling the blade nick his shoulder, as the young child that was Andeddo toppled around with the sword, using a very unbalanced version of the style. The blade was quickly removed from his grip, and he was not allowed to wield it again until he was old enough for proper training.

At this time Andeddo was often missing for his practice's, found studying, reading or writing in his room, a large volume of books and manuscripts littering his already cramped room within his uncles home. He did not need to be dragged away however, he followed along eagerly, as any seven year old would. He would fight harder than any of the other young children learning to wield the blade, in a style no one could teach him but himself, he had to learn it's intricacy's himself, it's subtleties, it's basic offence, and it's defensive capabilities. He learned fast, and just after he turned nine he had mastered a once dead style of fighting, Rongāmu, in both of it's forms.

When Andeddo finally was enrolled into the ninja academy he had an unfair advantage in combat over most, if not quite all, of his peers. He was a fast learner, and never once forgot anything. He did occasionally slip into what his classmates deemed his 'genius mode' where he seemed to know everything on the subject, before it was taught. This only really happened when Andeddo was nearly asleep, or not keeping his inherent genius in check. He made friends with most of the people in his class, and became quite popular.

Andeddo graduated the Academy with ease, being one of the top of his class. He was assigned to a squad, and began the life of a ninja. He Accomplished many missions with his squad, becoming known. On one mission that they were assigned they were ambushed, and Andeddo's fellow genin were slain, his squad leader dieing to save him. Andeddo fled back to the village, and was not assigned a new squad. He expected the worse, but it was for naught.

Andeddo was given the option to remain squadless, and still go on missions. He accepted, unable to take any more losses, accept for his own life. He quickly became known for his solitary missions, his exceptional performance, his flawless missions. He had many under his belt before signing up for the chuunin exams. Unfortunately he didn't make it past round one, simply because he was a single man, against many allied opponents. He vowed to become stronger, so that he would pass the exams the next time he took them.

Andeddo delved deeper into his studies, amercing himself in the compounded knowledge of all the previous ninja masters, particularly those who were renowned for their blade skills. Andeddo practised, and practised, improving the ancient style only he knew, never taking on a student, though many asked him to teach them his way of fighting. He would not allow this style to become frequent in the ninja world again, it would die with him.

Andeddo had another loss, not long after turning sixteen his uncle died, leaving him alone. Andeddo had hardened to loss, and felt it less than he did the loss of his parents, even though he had never truly known them. He attended his uncles funeral, and stayed the longest, after everyone else had left. He returned to his home, now quite literally it was his, left to him in his uncles will.

Andeddo has tried hard to search for Musuko, and inquired about his whereabouts, having never found out the reason he left, blaming himself for his brothers betrayal and fleeing. He wanted to set things right between them, and bring him back to Boufuu. But Andeddo never found him, though he has yet to give up trying. He will one day find his brother, and make him no longer hate him. Andeddo would find the last family he had left, even if it killed him to do so.

Andeddo eventually gave up on finding his brother, as the man left no traces at all to follow, and his life needed to be lived his way, not in the shadow of an absent elder brother. Though the man seemingly disappeared Andeddo harboured a secret wish to one day still be reunited with the only family member he still had left.

Andeddo began to travel to other villages, meeting people and making fast friends with several ninja from these villages. He even met a woman on his journey, and this woman would become to be the love of his life, though upon their first meeting he didn't know that. Kiraka Ookami. She marked him as her territory, and they became a couple, training together, and just enjoying each other company. Oddly enough they met in Shippu, but were both Boufuu ninja, and as such were confused by the circumstances of their meeting. It seemed like fate had intervened, forcing their meeting.

The two began dating and all seemed well for the couple. Andeddo reentering into the Chuunin exams a second time, this time facing off against individual opponents like himself. This was a far easier challenge for the still genin ninja, as he quickly rose through the rankings. However he fought against a friend of his that he had made on his travels, and was dismayed at having to face him in true combat for  the rank of Chuunin, however he did it. He won the fight and the finals, finally adopting the mantel of a Chuunin. Thus did Andeddo's rise through the ranks begin.

Andeddo once more partook in several solo missions, increasing in difficulty, but spreading his name far and wide, bringing several more people into his sphere of influence. The Young Nin was on his way up in the world, and nothing was going to get in his way. He made several allies throughout the world, and could count on them all, no matter the circumstances. Of course he spent plenty of time with Kira, not one to ignore the finer things in life. They were happy together, and nothing could come between them, at least so they thought.

As Andeddo grew increasingly popular amongst the people he drew attention from his Kage, who took a special interest in his rise in power, watching the young ninja progress higher and higher through the ranks. During this whole time Andeddo never stopped his exploration of the land, travelling to little visited places, far from any of the major shinobi villages. Andeddo in fact found the perfect place for him to consolidate his growing power. A small group of islands off of the southern coast of the continent, conveniently placed beyond a range of mountains, providing protection from the landmass.

Andeddo began to gather both followers and materials in secret, sending them to these islands, forming at first nothing more than a small base for himself and his supporters. But eventually this would change, as the Shinobi youth climbed yet higher, being promoted to special Jounin for outstanding field work and mission success rate. Andeddo was one step closer to realizing his dreams, which no longer included his home village.

As his pay increased from the more difficult mission Andeddo began to accumulate more workers, more craftsmen, and more supplies to fuel his growing community. It was one of the greatest kept secrets in the Shinobi world, since none but Andeddo himself knew where the islands were. He would send workers there, and inform them prior to their departure that to accept his proposal meant that they had to relocate themselves, and their families to this new settlement. As such Andeddos small town grew, eventually bringing in farmers, and other agricultural necessities, in order for the now Small village to remain self sufficient. Fishing became their primary source of industry, since the village was surrounded on all sides by water.

Andeddo informed some of his friends of this village in the works, and they all agreed to accompany him to it when it was finished. However, Kira was not one of the people the Young man informed at this time, he wanted to surprise her with the news when he became the official Kage. His strength only grew, as each passing day provided his village another opportunity to expand, eventually covering the entire group of islands that Andeddo found. The young man needed a name for his new village, and Having recently perfected a new Jutsu had an idea.

He commisioned a tower to be built in the center of the Village, higher than any other structure on any of the islands. The construction of this tower took several weeks to complete, and by that time Andeddo had become an official Jounin of Boufuu. Of course this came with more responsibilities, and Andeddo took to them like a fish to water, even having a squad of his own. This didn't last long, as the Kage requested that Andeddo become a solo fighter again, preferring to be able to send him off at any given time on high import missions. When he finally had the chance to return to his village the tower he had wanted built was finished. He ascended to the top and waited there. His villagers looked up to him in awe, wondering what he had planned.

Andeddo unleashed the jutsu he had spent years mastering, and created a massive, permanent Typhoon around the village, effectively making it the eye of a never ending storm. This hardly effected the fishing trade, since the eye extended far enough from the village as to allow the small fishing vessels of the Villagers to continue plying the waters around the islands. Thus the Village also had a name to go along with it's new line of defence. Taifugakure: The village hidden in the Typhoon. Andeddo stayed for several days in his village before heeding a summons back to Boufuu from his Kage.

Of course the man wouldn't refuse anything his Kage asked of him, he wasn't prepared for that quite yet. However, he was becoming suspicious of his Kage, and how he treated Andeddo, always sending him off on missions while keeping his known Girlfriend Kira close. It irked Andeddo, and so he payed off some of the servants in the Kages palace and they kept an eye on him for the Jounin. What Andeddo's agents discovered shocked them. The Kage was moving in on Andeddo's life partner. Kira had marked him, claimed him, but she was falling for the Kages charms. It infuriated him to discover this, but his anger was directed at the Kage, not Kira. He could never get angry at her for anything, let alone for being seduced by a man of power like this, who was purposefully keeping her actual lover as far away as possible, for as long as he possibly could.

Andeddo knew the man was using her to get to him, and so he challenged the Kages bluff, pretending it didn't bother him, pretending in fact that he didn't even know or suspect anything at all. This tried his patience, as the Kage grew bolder and bolder with his attempts at stealing away Kira. Andeddo had a difficult time in not lashing out at the man immediately, but he knew well enough that he wasn't prepared for that. However he plotted against his own Kage, though he wouldn't be for long. Andeddo finally had everything in his new village prepared, and as such was ready to exact his vengeance upon the Kage of Boufuugakure.

Andeddo called the man out, challenging him to one on one combat, telling him, and all the villagers of Boufuu that he was leaving the village, that he was no longer one of their number, their friend and ally. He did however pleed to the people, to any who were opposed to the Tyranny of the Kage, to come with him and join his newly founded village. Several citizens listened, and they left the arena before the fight happened. Thankfully, as what came next was nothing short of a disaster.

The fight was brutal and short. With his control over metal the Kinzoku Kage made short work of Andeddo, preventing the swordsman from being able to do anything, simply due to his lack of effective weaponry. However, he hadn't expected the environment itself to fight against him, as the Kage used his metal manipulation to shape and form the Arena floor around Andeddo, trapping him within a metal coffin, so close to his body the Gray Maned Wolf barely had room to breathe, let alone preform handseals to free himself. He was forced to forfeit, being branded a traitor, with the marks to match. He left the village a disgrace in his own eyes, however he was free of Takeshi's tyranny. He regretted not bringing Kira with him, but he couldn't face her, knowing both of their shame, both at the hands of the same man, a man for whom hatred and loathing grew in equal amounts within his breast. The man took on the personification of all the evils of the world in the now official Shimakages mind.

Andeddo and his followers finally arrive at his village, which has grown nicely in size, finally rivalling that of the other Shinobi villages. His men had errected homes, offices, entire farms, the office he would come to call his own, training areas. In short, everything needed to run a village. Due to the lack of common knowledge of the whereabouts of the village Andeddo and his men had time to plan and prepare for the attack he knew deep down was coming, it was inevitable, creating strategies based around each of their strengths and playing off of them.

Andeddo and his allies had plenty of time to set up their defences, and were well prepared for the attack that they knew was coming from Boufuu. The purposefully designed architexture, and the lack of metal almost anywhere on the islands was a defence against Boufuugakure, since the Kinzoku clan who reside there are capable of manipulating metal. However, what they hadn't accounted on was the assistance of Takeshi's allies, in the form of Shippuugakure shinobi joining the invasion and attack. Andeddo's carefully laid out plans and defences held, but only for so long. Since Shippu was also an island village they had ships, and these ships were capable of trailing through the typhoon surrounding the village. Though it would take them time to mobilize all of their troops across the water, since it was too unstable, and too dangerous to just walk across with chakra. This gave the defenders some last precious minutes to finish evacuation, and preparations.

Andeddo however had sent ambassadors to both Kusamuragakure and Hyougagekure in hopes of securing alliances with these villages. Unfortunately neither village had gotten back to him with answers prior to the invasion, and as such Andeddo and his men had to fight it out alone. They couldn't count on a timely rescue, that type of thing didn't happen in the real world, the only people they could count on were one another, and the man fighting at your side. The bonds formed in battle often went the deepest.

The Shimakage, now going by the name Decesso, lead his troops by example, always being in the front lines, fighting with his friends and allies at his sides, never backing down. He slew many who sought to destroy his village, and fought both leaders of the opposing villages simultaneously. The three men did not intend to hold back, the hatred and anger palpable in the air between the trio of kages, as the engaged each other in combat, setting the stage for the whole war. The ensuing battle nearly decimating the entire cluster of islands.

Decesso was outnumbered, and many thought outpowered, but this was his home turf. He knew the islands defences like the back of his hand. And using that knowledge against Takeshi and Dominic, was childs play. They forced him up to the base of his Weather Tower, as it was affectionately known by the locals, hounding him with jutsu and weapons, not giving him much opportunity to retaliate. However this was part of his plan. Knowing what the cost might be Andeddo prepared his ultimate defence, knowing full well that he might destroy everything he created. It was worth it, if he saw these two monsters buried with him.

While the three Kage battled Decesso had secretly had his greatest fighters, and his fiercest friends, on a mission. This mission took them into the enemy encampment, sowing chaos and confusion among the ranks, and he hoped, far enough from the battle to procet them from the powers he was about to unleash. He blocked every attack sent his way, dodging the flying fists of Dominic. He managed to stab the man in the side, though the wound was superficial, until the blade was charged with high voltage electricity. This effectively took Dom down, if only for a little.

However due to Takeshi's ability to manipulate metal Decesso was having a much harder time with the man, though due to the terrain being made almost entirely of wood and other fibres, with very little metal used in the actual construction, Decesso didn't have much issue with their surroundings, his weapons were mostly useless against him however. So the Shimakage resorted to his jutsu, battle back the Kanetsukage quite effectively. However his ultimate plan still needed to be executed, simply because he had no other choice. Backing from the fight as Dom rose to his feet Decesso sprinted up the side of the tower, coating his feet in chakra to run literally up the building. Upon reaching the peak He began to use handseals, rapidly progressing through the most complicated jutsu he had ever cast.

Just as he finished The Weather Tower gave way to the assault at its base, as the two enemy Kage destroyed it. Decesso fell, but manged to catch himself on a nearby rooftop. Suddenly the Typhoon surrounding the village closed in, making Decesso, the Shimakage himself, the eye of the storm. He rose to his feet, having absolute control over his village defence technique. He increased the downpour, sped up the winds, struck energy shinobi with lightning, and just laid about himself with pure destruction and devastation. However, it wasn't as accurate as the Kage would have liked, and many buildings and his own men were being harmed by the intense lighting storm being concocted above their heads.  Decesso felt sorry for those of his own he had undoubtedly wounded unleashing this ability, but the non-combatants had already been evacuated long before the battle had begun.

The Shimakage threw himself from the buildings roof, practically launching himself at the two kage beneath him, bringing the full fury of the storm to bare on these two men. However... they had left. The devastation Decesso himself had brought about to his own village nearly rendered it obsolete in it's own regards. Decesso stood in the ruins, cutting the jutsu short, completely stopping the Typhoon that had been raging around the village for the better part of a year. Decesso sat with his head in his hands, and his surviving shinobi gathered around him.

Luck was not on their side that day, as the enemy were not finished with the island yet. Dominic unleashed the power of one of his strongest attacks, literally sinking the islands with the destructive force of his punch, shattering the ground and causing the islands to crumble away into nothing. Chaos ensued, and hundreds more died, those who managed to flee only being slaughtered by the reserve forces of Takeshi's Boufuu shinobi. The Shimakage, knew the end was here, and went to meet his doom head on. However, the islands destruction threw him into the ocean. As he surfaced one of his still surviving jounin spotted him, and used a desperate jutsu on Decesso. This jutsu puts Decesso's body and mind into a form of stasis, preventing the ravages of time itself from effecting him. His body, safe in it's bubble of stasis, sank into the ocean.

The Villages annihilation was complete, and the invaders left, feeling satisfied with themselves, mourning the loss of good comrades. No reports of survivors ever surfaced. Decesso himself had sunk down to rest on the ocean bottom, His body perfectly preserved. In his sleep he dreamed, if what he saw could be considered dreams. Tormented by his past the Ex-Shimakage's subconscious was plagued by nightmarish scenes, each worse than the last. He watched again and again the deaths of each of his friends, his villagers. He watched how they bravely defended their homes, only to be cut down by men they may have once called friends. He saw a brother holding his sisters broken corpse as liquid poured from between her thighs, mixing with the blood on the ground.

Worst were the visions of the gloating faces of Takeshi and Dominic. These visions would appear most frequently, leaving behind scenes of Kira... and what a horrible fate that was. She had been used and abused by Takeshi, horribly treated and violated, only to be discarded when her body couldn't hold up under the torment any longer. This hit the Shimakages mind hard. He couldn't bare the thought of the love of his life being used by the bastard who ruined it. Little did Decesso know however that he was outliving the man, simply due to his hibernation.

Eventually the nightmares passed, and they were replaced by happier times. Images of Kira in the forest outside Shippuu, of Genesis and Andeddo sparring, and training. Images of the blind man Hitori he once sparred in Boufuu when he was but a Genin. This calmed the sleeping mind of the Shimakage, and helped him pass the years in a peaceful slumber. Of course his mind eventually just turned to a still image of Kira's face, the first time he ever laid his eyes upon her, and her beautiful smile. Decesso's mind began to stir, after what seemed an eternity.

The Shimakage opened his eyes, only to have them assaulted by the salt water of the ocean. Panicking the Kage shut them tightly and pushed from the ground, having noticed the water level not been incredibly deep. He burst through the surface of the water, inhaling his first breath in decades. He opened his eyes once more, now red and raw from the salt water, and looked around himself. Nothing remained of the proud village that had once stood upon the islands here, nor the islands themselves. Only a few protruding boulders marked that the land masses had ever existed in the first place. Pulling himself onto one of these boulders Decesso hung his head. He looked out across the water, and began to cry, for his lost friends, his lost village and his lost love. But mostly, he cried for himself, for how weak he felt for being incapable of protecting any of them.

Raising himself to his feet the Ex-Shimakage wiped his eyes. He would be Decesso Cacciatore no longer, that name was as dead as the Village it belonged to. Once more Andeddo Tokko would walk the earth, and those who had wronged him would learn to fear the wrath of the Gray Maned Wolf. Andeddo dove into the water, swimming back to land. Once there he had a surprise. All along the beach there were crosses planted in the sand, each with names and family glyphs carved into them. His heat went out to those who had come to mourn. A noise drew his attention, as a young man came down from a path through the mountainside.

He stopped dead when he saw Andeddo, his brow creased in confusion. The two spoke, and the lad explained that he usually never saw anyone else while he was tending to the memorial. Andeddo asked him how long it had been and was shocked to his core to hear the answer. He dropped to his knees, grasping his head in his hands, terrifying the lad. The poor boy forsook his duties to run to the small town he lived in for help. Soon after Andeddo is moved into the boys home, where he sits in shock, his eyes large and hollowed by the realization that everyone he had ever known... were dead. His vengeance could never come to pass, for those who had wrong him were no more. He felt cheated, cheated for his rightfully deserved retribution.

Andeddo stayed in the town for several weeks, working to repay the debt he felt he owed these people, for the small memorial they had made, to the treatment of Andeddo himself while he was there. He left the town and wandered, not sure where to go. Andeddo knew two things, he would stay as far from Boufuu anf Shippuu as he possibly could, and that he needed to find a new village and soon. Being the homeless Ex-Shimakage... wasn't exactly a good prospect for his future. So he set out, avoiding the two villages he would never see the same way, feeling out of place, a relic in this new world.

The Gray Maned Wolf set out on a quest to find a place to live, though he felt no desire to truly belong anywhere, since his home was sunk beneath the waves of the ocean. His mind kept straying to thoughts of Kira, and how he didn't know what became of her. Had she been happy with Takeshi? Had she discovered his true nature and escaped before it was too late? Andeddo was resigned to the fact that he would most likely never know. Then there were his friends, many of whom he had seen buried at the memorial on the beach. Had the ones he sent away on the missions survived? Had the civilians he evacuated lived? Were the people of that town their descendants?

He pondered much as he made his way through the Shinobi world. Andeddo himself didn't fully understand how he survived all these years, seemingly without ageing a day. However, he knew that Kusamura would be a good place to try to live, since he had once tried, and was unsure of the success of that attempt, to ally with them. He had no idea how well of a reception he would receive, all things considered, but since he was most likely considered long dead, and his name lost to the archives of history, he doubted anyone would know him.

So he made his way to the hidden jungle village, hoping to just start over, or live out the rest of his days in peace and quiet. He wasn't entirely sure what he would do with himself, since he wasn't exactly sure of the worlds affairs since his return, and hopefully entering one of the great Shinobi villages would in fact fix that. Andeddo hoped that the times were peaceful, else approaching the village might be enough for the Kusa Shinobi to attack him on sight. He was prepared to fight a retreat if needed, though he would far prefer to keep bloodshed to a minimum.

Andeddo made his way through the jungle, vaguely aware of where he was heading, having never actually visited the village in person. Andeddo didn't quite know what to expect of the place, since much can happen in 100 years. Though he had never laid eyes on the village prior it had been reputed to have been beautiful. The Ex-Shimakage trudged through the jungle, finally stumbling upon the village hidden within. Kusamuragakure. Andeddo smiled lightly, for the first time since his awakening, and approached the village, resolving to not take no for an answer.

With his skill set, and experience Andeddo was fairly confident that he would have no problem actually gaining admittance to the village, or being accepted as one of her members. Though, to be fair he knew nothing of the villages culture, perhaps he would offend in some way by accident, and be refused, or worse, attacked outright. Sighing Andeddo shrugged, it was time to get this over with. Entering the Village Andeddo went straight for the Kage building, hoping to make himself known, and his presence accepted as soon as he possibly could. So that if things didn't work out he could simply leave, and try his luck elsewhere. Wishing for the best, and hoping that everything would go well Andeddo entered the building, going to see about joining the Village of Kusamuragakure.

Tamashi stayed on the ground, cowering at Lin's feet, and he looked up at her, for some reason his eyes again altering their vision and he buried his head in his arms. Tamashi heard her giggle as he had walked past, probably at his face, which was undoubtedly red. When he heard her first remark he had stopped in his tracks temporarily before moving on, pausing for less than a second.

He cowered at her feet, because he had seen someone naked, her. "M-miss. Lin, I did peak. I p-peaked at you." He commented after she said something about peaking on the sake, which he had actually. He looked up at her, his vision normal, when she put her hand on his shoulder. When she began to look through the basket he wondered whether she was looking for something to discipline him with.

Tamashi was surprised when Lin told him to sit up. commenting on the temperature, and saying that he should take off his jacket which he did. He lay it on the ground, and felt slightly warmer, but was still very cold, and was still shivering. Tamashi felt the cloth being wrapped around him and he looked up at Lin. "Miss Lin..."

Tamashi watched as she pulled up her sleeves and again placed her hair into a ponytail, and continued to stare at her hair, captivated by it for some reason. He huddled himself under the sheet, gratitude and humiliation welling up in him. Gratitude for the kindness, and humiliation for what he had done to Lin.

Tamashi watched as she took his jacket and added it into the basket with everything else. He then looked at her extended hand and used it to stand. He listened to Lin's statement about the cloth, and Tamashi could feel his eye filling up with tears, and he hugged Lin tightly, his eyes shut, tears streaming out of them. "Thank you Miss. Lin for everything you've done, even with what I did, which is unforgivable. I should never have peaked at Miss. Lin, and I promise I hadn't meant to, honest I only wanted to see what the Sake looked like, and maybe try a little. But I never meant to peak at Miss. Lin's body." His face was buried into her shoulder, and his tears were pouring out into her.

Tamashi quickly pulled away, rubbing his arm over his eyes, brushing away his tears. He hadn't wanted to get Lin as soaked as he was, but he felt too bad to move on, so he stood still, looking down at the floor, shivering under the sheet, which in spots was already soaked through.
