I will be gone for two weeks. I am leaving Temari, Gaara and Kankurou in the care of another sensei until I am back.

Don't expect to see me back anytime before then.

(This is RIGHT BEFORE the timejump. After this, Baki isn't seen for a whole year.)

Everyone is angry at me of late.

Three Konoha shinobi showed up during the formal dinner, without passports or even a good excuse. By law, I was required to pronounce them spies and throw them in jail to be tortured until their purpose could be identified. It wasn't my fault, yet I was sent dirty looks by everyone from Yamanaka-san to Temari to ( Read more... )

Today... I gave my team thwe day off, and went to see Sunako's grave. Aftereverything that's happening over the past few days, I felt like I'd need to visit her. She must be lonely, it's been a long time... So I left early in the morning, leaving a note for the ambassador that I wouldn't be home ( Read more... )

I have found myself the rather unwilling host of two Leaf genin diplomats, both of whom consider me a murderer (I was only fulfilling my mission - If you follow your standards, then anywher in the Sand you'd be surrounded by murderers. I am not the only one with Leaf blood on his hands, and I do not regret fulfilling my mission, even in this case. ( Read more... )

I completed the mission to Yanagi's Kazekage-sama's satisfaction. I captured both missing-nin alive, and they are both in custody now. I am home, and I am debating whethermy team should work on ninjutsu or taijutsu tomorrow...

I will sleep on it.

I am going on my first solo mission since becoming a sensei. I hope my skills haven't deteriorated, since my students have been able to take care of themselves. I stillretain all my jutsu, though my seal speed has slowened bya fraction of a second. that could get me killed...

Sunako...Anyways, yes, that is the only real piece of news. In training ( Read more... )

Temari is returning to the Sand. I'm glad, because Kankurou is getting more and more out of line every day, and I'm not sure how much I can handle Gaara anymore. He asks about Temari every day (What brother wouldn't?), but the way he stares at me, as if I am to blame for her not being here, is starting to unsettle me. I hate to say this, but Temari ( Read more... )

Kankurou forfeited his fight, all according to plan. Temari won against the Nara kid by forfeit. I warned her not to underestimate her opponents ( Read more... )

I'm devastated... My most precious son, the light of my life, Kankurou-kun, has taken his own life. I can only blame myself, for not giving him as much love as I could have. Kankurou-kun... Will you ever forgive me? I would kill myself to make up for the dishonour of driving you to suicide, but that's what samurai do. And I'm not a samurai ( Read more... )

Wait, I should get back to the beeginning. When I awoke this morning, I recieved an important missive from Kazekage-sama, containing paternity test results. I was to reveal the truth, after all these years! Kankurou is my own son by Kazekage-sama's wife (Before they got married... I hope ( Read more... )
