Maiko watched the Hokage's spar with Kota and Sharaiyu with fascination. what surprised was Sharaiyu's ability to create a limb made out pure chakra, Maiko had always thought that only Jinchuuriki and extremely powerful shinobi could pull off such techniques. he was also impressed by the young Uchiha's fighting skills, and he felt a small desire to one day fight the genin, if war broke out then maybe someday they would. if he defeated an Uchiha then his village marvel at his fighting prowess and he would become a legend throughout his village. it was interesting how Konoha had an Uchiha as Hokage what with the dark history between the clan and the village. but Maiko just guessed that it was simply the change of the times and now he was getting to witnessed the skills of the Konoha shinobi firsthand which would give a lot of information on how they fight which would come in handy if the mission went badly

[i]"Maiko, I sense my brother the two tails is very close"[/i] Isobu said to him.

"really? whose his host?" Maiko asked very curious to know, he hadn't gotten a chance to know what tailed beast all of the Jinchuuriki on the mission had.

[i]"The young member of the Uchiha clan battling the Hokage"[/i] the three tails answered. Maiko was surprised, so Konoha did have Jinchuuriki of their own, but was the Uchiha aware of the beast inside of him? after hearing Seranai's story about how she had only found out a few days ago about being a Jinchuuriki, he wouldn't be surprised if this genin didn't know about the two tails living within.

"in that case Isobu, we had better pay close attention to him, an Uchiha Jinchuuriki sounds like a very deadly combination and we better be ready to fight him one day" Maiko said to his inner companion.

[i]"I just hope you don't get us both killed in your egerness to test your skills"[/i] Isobu replied, and Maiko laughed to himself. the three tails sometimes acted like his mother and fretted about him being too reckless, this was funny coming from a might beast that commanded insane amounts of chakra. Maiko continued to watch the sparring match, examining the fight very closely, looking for weaknesses and plans of attack in Konoha ninjas' offense and defense.
