Them Darn City Folk [IO,NK,Max]

"Very well, sir." Whoever this Hato person was, she was about to get a whole dose of Northern hospitality. With that cheery thought in her head, Kozue would make her obeisance to the kage, and leave the building, filled with a positive attitude. Things had been the worst before, what with all the disease around, but now things were looking up again. It was like her mama always said, "there's always a summer after the winter". This was particularly true in her region, since the seasons pretty much lasted for half of each year, and winter was basically entirely nighttime. The hope that summer would always come was part of what kept them going through that long and seemingly endless night.

It was also this sentiment of family and hospitality that pervaded her spirit, despite her love for carnage and fighting. If people stuck together through thick and thin, and cared for each other against outside threats, they could survive anything. This could be the same for Kumo, though there was a lot of ways to go as far as a spirit of unity was concerned. Kozue would work on it, though. Eggheads and tinhats were always talking about how true understanding and relationship wasn't possible, but that was bull and she knew it.

People's hearts might not have an easy way of connecting to each other, but with enough work and with sufficient pressure from an outside threat, she knew it could happen. She'd start with her own colleagues, and work down to her subordinates, bringing everyone together as part of the Kumo family, and creating a bulwark around the kage. Although she wasn't all to familiar with some of the other shining stars in the Kumogakure shinobi force, at that point, she was quite resolved to find out about them.

Friendship couldn't be forced, of course, but she was at least bound to try her hardest. Then, of course, there was always the civilians who had become some kind of big ol' plague engine for the old kage. Her good feelings remained, but now there was a steely determination. No matter how much effort it took, she would undo his legacy, bit by bit.
