Kozai sat alone in the now closed library. He'd worked very hard on this place, from the time he'd come here and met that woman, Akihana, to the time when he crawled out of his fucking grave. This was his only lasting accomplishment on the planet, other than Amegakure (and he doubted that the place was still standing). Despite everything, Kozai was still human, and still had an ego. Quite a large one, he considered with chagrin. Still, that kind of thing came naturally with power, and with power came the mandate to use it for what was right. To Kozai, of course, what was right was to prevail in all of his goals.
There was no greater evil, however, than failure. History did not look kindly upon those who did not come out on top in conflicts, and Kozai had had his fair share of conflict. Trampled by foreigners, outshone by rivals, disfavored by most of his kage..... that ended now. At that moment, Kozai resolved to play a perfect game. Every advantage Yasaki or the others gained, he would turn to his own ends. Butting power against power and acting directly to put a stop to his enemies was going to get him nowhere.
Kozai entered his basement, upon which six tables lay. Zero out of six... but soon, these tables would be the resting place of the tools he would use to reach further out beyond the walls of the archives and into the unknowing village beyond.
