Click the above Mousou image to reveal his true appearance.

The charming and calm Mousou persona masked the real wandering ninja Houki disguised beneath. Houki, whose name means "the law," "abandonment" or "revolt," traveled the world along with Nagare and Hokushin, gathering jutsu to use as their own. Houki came to the country in the hopes of gathering jutsu. He masked his appearance as an elderly man who appeared to be able to do magic type tricks. Houki really was using Genjutsu to trick and impress the Daimyou.

The daimyou was impressed by "Mousou" and appointed him as a trusted advisor. Houki began to enjoy his position and sought to end his wandering ways and take full control of the country. Houki then had the daimyou and his son Sagi poisoned. They died shortly afterwards and only the daimyou's daughter Toki suspected foul play. She impersonated her brother to Houki's ignorance, and began plotting ways to root out their killers through the usage of the Noroimusha, a spectral ghost who was said to be the ghost of her father.

Houki used the ghost to his advantage, hiring the services of Konoha ninja to reveal the ghosts true identity. Unfortunately the plan would lead to his end. With Houki's careful plotting, he had blame for the Noroimusha placed on Koumei, the daimyou's chief strategist. Houki expected the Konoha ninja to leave the country once their mission was finished, but they chose to remain instead, due to their dissatisfaction with how things were being revealed.

Chishima, the assistant to "Mousou" discovered Houki's real identity and the Konoha ninja came to bring him down. Mousou kidnapped Toki and sought to murder her, removing the last block to his attaining control of the country. Uzumaki Naruto confronted Mousou and Houki finally dropped the act, revealing his true self. The two battled, and Houki used many of the techniques he had copied in the past. Unfortunately many were pale imitations of their real counterparts and Naruto managed to surprise Houki and defeat him with a Naruto Rendan. Houki was then captured and Toki finally brought her brother and father's murderer to justice.

Mukade was used as a sacrifice to take on the form of Hoshigaki Kisame in Pain's Shouten no Jutsu. This was an image changing technique which allows an Akatsuki member to take control of a body and use it as if it was their own. The sacrifice would change to look like the member and utilize however much chakra the member was willing to donate to them. The body essentially would become the Akatsuki member. This allowed Kisame to fight Guy and his team from a remote distance without their knowledge.

Kisame fought Guy and managed to imprison Neji, Lee and TenTen. Guy was forced to open several gates and used his Asakujaku technique to pummel "Kisame" and defeat him. In the rubble the body of Mukade lost its appearance as the donated chakra ran out, killing him. This revealed to Guy that they had not actually been fighting Kisame at all.

In the following years Hotarubi died due to the star's side effects. Also the Hoshikage was murdered by upstart Akahoshi, who desired to use the star training to strengthen the village and make it respected. With the training back in place, Natsuhi came out of hiding and stole the star once again. Akahoshi figured it was Natsuhi or her husband, and used Sumaru as bait to get her to return the star. She eventually did and Sumaru was released. She finally got to spend time with her son and bond with the young man.

When the star was returned to the training center, she returned to steal it. It was a trap and Akahoshi struck her down. Because she was weakened due the excessive meteor chakra use, she could not put up much of a fight. She managed to leave a blood seal on the floor though, which was imprinted with her being. This spectral being assisted Naruto when he fought Akahoshi. With the combination of Naruto's Rasengan and the meteor chakra, Akahoshi was stopped for good when the meteor was destroyed. With the rest of the village finally being made aware of the bad side effects, Natushi's job was done. Sumaru was also happy to have spent time with her once again.
