- Matsuki wanted to give Nonzo some discipline. He attempted to slap his face when he talked back to him, but it failed when Nonzo fought back. Spitting senbon with poison on them and taking down Matsuki in mere seconds. He also tried to kill Izzy when Matsuki brought her within the walls. It took Matsuki all of his power to protect her from Nonzo.
________________
- Soon, Izzy had to leave the village since no one was fond of he being there. So Matsuki had to do that. Then Kogure came to Shimo to tell Matsuki that she was going to kill herself. Matsuki went to Ihaigakure just to stop it and she did with the help of Keitna putting her to sleep and they carried her off to the hospital. Later after that. Matsuki stayed in Ihaigakure to spar with Yukimura. It seemed they were both in equal power, but Matsuki had to get some B RANKS to get better if he wanted to to compete against Yukimura.
________________
Matsuki was in the mines and he met a few Ihaigakure warriors like he usually does. One in particular caught his eye. Izzy stayed inside the mines when everyone else left and Matsuki stayed too. They kissed, but Matsuki couldn't convince her to go back. So he snuck her inside and had he change her look so she could stay. But it wasn't long before everyone figured out that it was Izzy.

Matsuki was tasked by the king to go steal a scroll from Ihaigakure. He brought along Mitsu and Rou. Matsuki and Mitsu distracted most of them at the gates while Rou and his sneaking skills went to retrieve it. Sadly he failed in doing so. Though they got out quite alive.
________________
Izzy was being their 'slave. Though Kosui apparently took her to Ihaigakure to steal a scroll for them. Kogure came back and told him this story and Matsuki was angry at his cousin. He went over to find out that she was dead. And of that course that put him in a depressed state that no one seemed to care about.
________________
It was couple versus couple! Keitna and Matsuki versus Kyoshi and Kosui. Obviously Keitna and Matsuki won.
________________
Matsuki was in the mines one again. He met a familar armored figure and automatically knew it was his pun-friend, Sachi. They talked about a lot of things concerning their lives. And how Matsuki couldn't handle being a Shuryo as much with the constant depression.
________________
Suddenly as he was with Sachi. A roar appeared out of nowhere. Kensei and Shimizu were both at the scene and they fought long and hard.[Lewd]. He helped defend against Kensei which literally and almost slashed Sachi in half. Matsuki RISKED his LIFE and jumped right in front of Kensei with his back turned to save Sachi from dying. Carried her back to Ihaigakure and had Rangetsu stabilize her. It was a day Matsuki thought he was actually going to die.
________________
Matsuki was taking a trip to the mines once again and of course he saw two people fighting. Shun and Tetsuo. As he got there he made them stop fighting and asked what happened. Tetsuo said that Shun used Smoke release. Matsuki was dumbfounded when he heard this and Nonzo and Ran have been keeping him there. He took Shun to Ihaigakure and they attacked him on the spot eventually killing him near their gates.

Matsuki gets rejected by Keitna to have some alone time at home.

Matsuki had a trip to the mines for the 100th time. This time he was attacked by a fast and strong ass thief asking for tax. But since Aragetsu's life wa sin danger he just gave up his minerals as tax so Aragetsu wouldn't have to die. Good thing he lived through it, but Matsuki made an announcement of it to Ihaigakure. When he got back home and told his Fiance about it. She literally STABBED him in the chest. He almost bled out until Rowan was there to save him. He was back in the mines to talk to Rowan, Arata, and someone else about his life in Shimogakure and how it wasn't the best.

Matsuki and Abram went out to an area where a foreigneer from the Mainland was stealing weapons. Sadly they escaped and Matsuki told Abram to leave without him. Matsuki and Nakahira had a huge argument about his rank. Thus causing Nakahira to attack him and tell Matsuki to kill his cousin Kosui. Matsuki fought back, but ended it after being convinced to stop. Though Nakahira still didn't listen and just went with his day as Matsuki left the scene.
