Enatsu Makiko

Makiko Enatsu (えなつまきこ, Enatsu Makiko) is a shinobi of Konohagakure.

## Background

Makiko is the eldest son of Kenzo and Miyu Enatsu. While a child he spent most of his time playing with his younger brother, Kaito, and working on their secluded farmhouse. Hunting was a fun past time for Makiko and Kaito, going with their father to catch and kill wild boar and deer. Often after hunting they prayed for the sacrifice of the animals, always making sure to use their meat fully as to not waste. Makiko and Kaito often spent time together playing games and play fighting with each other keeping each other company. Once old enough Makiko was often sent to the nearby village to gather supplies and help sell their harvest, often helping local people with general errands if they seemed they needed the help.

After a day of work Makiko and his brother were treated to a night of hunting in the nearby forest, whilst hunting they came across a sounder of boars, deciding this was going to be the prize they both positioned themselves into bushes and readied their bows. Kaito released his arrow early and missed the boars, alerting them to their presence and causing a stampede to occur towards the younger brother's location. This caused emotions to overwhelm Makiko feeling as though he was about to lose his brother as his sharingan awakened allowing him to analyse the situation and get Kaito out of there.

With his newly-awakened sharingan came lots of questions to which he had found out his mother was an out-casted member of the Uchiha clan. Wanting to learn more about his eyes and abilities his parents agreed that it would only be fair to send him to Konohagakure.

## Personality

As a child Makiko was quiet and reserved enjoying the quiet life with his parents, working on the farm and doing his chores. As he was growing up he would often find his only social life would come from speaking to his brother, his parents or interacting with nature. His passion for nature allowed him to become friends with a owl who he later named "Chikao". With the changes beginning as he was being homeschooled by his mother and father in most subjects using books and their knowledge as a basis for his learning, he found a spark in his thirst for knowledge always finding the difficult questions or wanting to know the whole truth of the subject.

During their down time as a family they'd often go to the forest to hunt for prey to make into dinner that night, often praying for a successful hunting trip and thanking for the sacrifice of the animal. This helped him follow a more constructive pattern of violence never wanting to use it unless he needed to and learned to care about all life no matter how small.

"**The strong should aid and protect the weak**. Then, the weak will become strong and they, in turn, will aid and protect those weaker than them. That is the law of nature." The words his mother imparted on him always stuck with him. With his work on the farm it often meant he'd take crops into the town to sell to the locals, often helping and giving his services to those people who asked him or looked like they needed it.

When his eyes initially unlocked the first tomoe sharingan he came to the realisation that there was more to himself than he knew and this fed into his thirst for knowledge, a thirst that his parents saw and allowed him to follow his path to go to Konoha and learn more about it. When reaching the village he found his social skills around other people lacking, spending most of his time either training or working in the library to learn more about a whole world of knowledge he didn't know about. This led him to begin working within the Academy where he enjoys imparting his knowledge onto younger and next generations of shinobi, though even while working here he continues to strive to learn more having allowed this thirst to consume him once.

After going to a trial of a rogue ninja he had a secret meeting to find out more information, though this act never sat right with him going out of his way to immediately seek council with the higher ranking shinobi of the village being ready to accept punishment.
