Despite his age, the young man sports an aura of calmness from not only his look but also the tone of the words which extend from his lips that possibly borderlines on the verge of overconfidence. Yet, the golden hue eyes that young man now sports given a different aura that is hard for most to put their finger on. But some more experienced shinobi are able to place it somewhere between the searching of power and the intent to kill for his goals. Having been the student of a handful of different shinobi, amongst such as the S-ranked puppet-nin Bunraku, he seems to sport knowledge beyond his years as some might call it.

:HISTORY:
A young boy was born into a normal family of two shinobi of Wind country, not a prodigy but above the average child as he began to learn that ways of becoming a ninja. Graduating the ninja academy at a young age of ten years of age, Zao quickly took up learning the art of puppet fighting of which his father was very skilled in using. This helped to lead the young boy along much faster then he normally abilities would have grown if things had been different. Yet at the age of twelve the boy lost both his parents, murdered, and he was taken away from the village ending up under the care of a guardian whom resided in the Stone village.
Three years passed as the boy’s skilled continued to improved, climbing the ranks of Stone shinobi until he was finally promoted to the rank of jounin and was well known in and out of the village for his amazing skills in the use of puppets in battle. Though it would seem that history was to repeat itself in the young boy’s life as the guardian had cared for him for the last three years and trained him was killed much in the same way as his parent had been many years ago. Now the young boy finds it hard, but not impossible, to develop relation ships with other shinobi after the sadness and events in his past to those that he had been so close to and thus he went into a shell staying mainly to himself studying the mechanics of puppets and design features.
Two more years passed as Zao had finally began to overcome what had plagued him since the death of his guardian, allowing for his persona to become a bit more normal in term of how it had been for a long time now. Also he is now not only known for his ability in using the puppets in battle but also his skill in creating new puppet designs, from his past two years of studies in the area. Also during this time he spent some time working with the village's medic-nin studying intensively about different herbs and poisons that he might use in tatics with his puppets (later he would develop two trademark poisons). At the age of sixteen, with a lot of help from his uncle whom was his only known living relative and guardian, the pair developed a sealing skill that allowed for them to take known techniques and seal them into part of a puppet so that with the aid of chakra from the puppeteer the puppet itself could activate the technique. Though so far, the pair had only been able mastering fully in sealing Kaze and Doton ninjutsu but Zao himself has experimented with genjutsu being profience with sealing up to chuunin level illusionary techniques so far, also he has found a few special skills such as chakra absorbing technique and one technique that allows a weapon to cut through almost any substance that he has sealed within parts of one puppet that might be his most powerful single puppet creation.
But the memories of his past still haunt him at times, distracting him one could say and leave him fragile state of mind at that time. Because if he witnessed another person he was close to be killed it with the shape his mind concious and subconcious mind is in, the effect could devistating and unperdictable. Though that was something he decided he would not allow to happen if he could help it and one way of doing that was for him to disappear from the village and from those that he had come to know and work with over his time of growing up here in Iwa. This took place when he was assigned a S-rank mission that had him traveling down to the southern board of Wind country tracking down several leads on an organization which the Iwakage believed might be preparing to attempt an attack on them. But weeks and finally months passes as they would hear no word from Zao, a hunter-nin team reported back about two months later with their findings. It appeared that the puppeteer had managed to dispose of the entire group but in doing so he appeared to have given his life trading final blows with their leader. Only parts of a charred body resembling his own were found along with puppet parts scattered about. Though the real Zao took to the dirt roads that winded through the country side allowing the wind to take him were it would as for the time being Saisuko Zao was considered dead.
After his faked death Zao aquired two more puppets, upon journeying to Suna to visit his old home, which previously had belong to his father and mother whom used them as a team against targets. Daitenshi and Yakubyougami, known as the lover puppets. Unlike other puppets, these two puppets are sealed into the same scroll and can either be summoned one at a time or both at the same time. Though these puppet's are not like his other six puppets as they don't have any special jutsu sealed in them or double as armor; only a few combo attacks, strong hand held weaponary, and a few different traps that are special to them. Also after his "death" (see history), the young special jounin has was able to obtain three more puppets; which were started by his mother, father, and Karchi to be a surprise several years down the road when he was able to make it into the jounin ranks. Though after several months of work, the shinobi's parents where killed and he was more or less forced to move away. But while away the puppet maker (Karchi) finished each of them and waited until he returned just recently to give Zao the three powerful puppets after a "test" session. During which he was also taught a new chakra thread/string technique that allowed for him to increase the number of chakra threads/strings he could create and use at once. Thus also allowing him to control more puppets at once. Now he journeys from place-to-place for the moment only working on the remaining unfished puppets while passing himself off as a person whom deals with different herbs and plants for medical usage.
::New three years of Zao's History::
After leaving the village under the circumstances which he did, Zao has not set foot near or in the Iwa village in almost three full years now. Though in the past two, almost three, years which he has posed as a traveling merchant and part-time artist to help fund his journeys which have led him to numerous villages and countries: shinobi and non-shinobi a like. Though it was the first person he truly met after leaving the village which would help steer the course which the wind would lead him. This man himself to was a puppeteer, though one whom was of S-rank status, a man whom much like the puppet master Sasori had made himself literally into a puppet. That man being a missing-nin from Suna by the name of Bunraku. A strange man to the young former shinobi at the time whom was only seventeen, trying to escape the world of the shinobi to lead a "normal" life and escape the side of him the was forming a completely new persona. Their was a curiosity from the puppeteer to the elder puppeteer, as for months he traveled and learned from the wise former shinobi, even training a bit under the man's or best it would be called the "puppet's" supervision because of his body being that of a puppet's. Though one day Bunraku left, disappearing from the young man's life like all the others he had grown somewhat fond off, adding to the creation of his two sided persona that he sometimes has to struggle to control.
Taking the collection of puppet that Bunraku had helped him design and construct, the former Iwa shinobi once again began to wonder losing all care of his destination but instead simply enjoying the journey itself instead of the destination. Over the next two, almost three years in his journey his puppet collection would greatly expand as he collected puppets from other puppeteer, created his own along with devising a new chakra nature sealing technique which allowed for his ninjutsu using puppets to become even more powerful weapons of war. Collecting different types of ninjutsu which now stretch to all five elements (Raiton, Fuuton, Suiton, Katon, and Doton) along with other ninjutsu which is not exactly elemental based. A drastic improvement from back in his mid teens when his uncle and him finally perfected the jutsu for use with fuuton and doton...as he attempts to construct an army of three hundred puppets to do his bidding...starting to near it now with the completion of his two hundredth puppet which was his creation to deal with the fact that he did not have nor rely on animal summoning ninjutsu.
With his collection continuing to grow at its pace, he expects to finish his three hundredth puppet before turning twenty-one, though one thing he wishes more then even completing the puppet set that his lost family members were trying to is to find his former mentor or discover of what happened to cause his disappearance. Despite over two (close to three) full years passing since last hearing from his former and last mentor Zao had been hearing of rumors on his journey of that same man...so with some faint hope that perhaps these rumors do hold some truth in their words he had begun traveling from village-to-village in search of him. Though even he, himself is not sure of what might come of meeting with that last man he ever called "sensei"...would such a meeting with the s-rank missing-nin give a push to the growing battle-lusting side of the young man whom nears twenty years of age now? Or will his recent meeting with a young woman whom is from a clan of doll users have an effect on Zao as he slowly grows fond of the woman known as Tara. It seems that only time will tell of this and what becomes of the wandering puppeteer...as he finds himself in Suna searching for clues once again to his former master.
::Ame's Lady::
The young man several months ago would come across a ANBU from the Rain village, a small battle would follow before the pair reached an agreements of such which would soon lead to them becoming fast friends. Tara, the Ame-nin, was a powerful ninja of the village and in the months that followed she would be chosen to become the Lady of Ame, though not long ago she disappeared. During this time Zao had also went through his own change and one that changed his own persona a bit. Any recorder of him in the Ame village are seeming missing anything before him being deemed and ANBU Captain by the former Lady about six months ago. With a new Lord being chosen for the village the young man had decided to hang around the village for his own reasons until his past deeds manage to catch up with him.
