Jaki, otherwise known as "Jak", is a Jōnin of Kirigakure. He is a long-time believer of Roku Jashinism, something of which he has been scorned for almost all his life. Most that oppose him however, for his views, simply disappear. Past this disturbing revelation that most have found true, he has been an influential figure in Kirigakure's rise to power. For this, he has been tolerated by the Mizukage who has continuously supported Jaki despite the open backlash he receives for it. He has a temple dedicated to Jashin within Kirigakure, which he actively works, sleeps, and tends to whenever not on a mission.

## Background

Jaki was born in a relatively poor part of Kirigakure, where war was constant and strife everywhere. From a young age, his original family was slaughtered as part of a massive attack planned by a liege lord of the village Jaki was born in. Where exactly this was in the Land of Water is unknown. What is known is that shortly afterward, his body was found in the arms of his deceased parents, whereupon he was collected by an old priest. This priest anointed him in the shadows of his hidden temple, and from that day on: Jaki would forever be under the watchful eye of Jashin.

From what is gathered by others close to Jaki, much of his early life was being taught the ways of Jashin. Dark rituals, both sacred and forbidden within the cult of Jashin. The ways of life and death, and the necessary matters needed to be taken to please the lord Jashin. He served his lord dutifully, always slaying the innocent at night. Yet, something to which Jaki admits to, he did not like having to murder people he felt undeserving of such a thing; unworthy, even. Taking his effects from the cult, he fled from the secret society and started a new life of his own, trying to find purpose in everything.

He spent years of his life trying to convert people to the new ways of Jashin he began to teach. He called it **Roku Jashinism** (碌ジャシン教 *Roku Jashinism*, lit. meaning: Worthy Jashinism). He had no solid foundation for his new ideals, and it showed so very few accepted his ways. Thus, he began his life's work compiling the old doctrines, rewriting them, and creating new ones. As he did this, he began to find new ways to communicate with his god. New ways to appease his lord. So, with a new vision set in mind Jaki began to preach upon the battlefield and take the lives of only those worthy of his spear.

During this time, the formation of Kirigakure was well underway. With the careful guidance of the First Mizukage, Fugukyō Suikazan, the village was well under construction. Yet, there was a great deal of difficulty in its creation. Many clans of Kirigakure could not get along with one another, mostly due to previous history. Upon hearing of a new sect of literal Jashinists, Fugukyō came into contact with Jaki. After compromising on one another's ideals, and settling on something to appease the powers that be for the both of them, Jaki and his followers were officially introduced to Kirigakure. Following this, Jaki's power grew greatly.

Years passed by, and all of Fugukyō's political enemies were silenced. Without interruption, she conquered much of the Land of Water under the name of the Daimyō. She brought order and balance, where none was before. There never seemed to be anyone powerful enough to stop her either, and her superior intellect combined with this gave her the right to become Mizukage of the village she oversaw the building of. Since this village's opening, Jaki has opened a temple dedicated to Roku Jashinism.

## Personality

To the citizens of Kirigakure, although perhaps bizarre in appearance, Jaki is a benevolent figure among them. His sermons are dark in their themes, and yet they all speak of themes of inner peace and acceptance towards the cycles of Life and Death as well as realizing one's inner power. Of course, him and his religion are not without their dark sides.
