<sub>The ruined building had become the 'rendezvous' point for the shinobi of Suna that had banded together. They could hear the war echoing out in the country, and the current state of Sunagakure was relatively similar to that of nomads. They needed to find a new place, a new location, to rebuild! But no, the current Kazekage was way too focused on rebuilding the rubble of the current location of the village. A large explosion was heard soon after, and the raven haired boy exhaled a sigh as his eyes closed briefly. He sat upon the wooden desk near a window, the ruined atmosphere was quite beautiful in a disturbing way.

"With Shukaku attacking, we can assume we'll suffer quite some casualties. I've no interest in taking on the bijuu when it can do the work of killing the Kazekage for me." he stated to the group that had gathered, eyes drifting to their faces.</sub>

Holed up with the rest of the chosen group, Koji appeared to be in a lighter mood that would be expected with the situation at hand. The monstrous cries were audible, and the undulating earth notable. Despite how dangerous the situation seemed, the group located within the distressed building were far more safe than the shinobi outside, fighting the bijuu, Shukaku. It was perhaps due to the fact Koji preferred it this way...

Etsuko spoke with words that Koji didn't completely agree with, but he definitely agreed. The current location of Suna was a wreck, and it would take more time rebuilding, and clearing out the rubble than it would to relocate. Their position was also a bit isolated, and it offered no beneficiary for visitors or tourists, in essence, a good chunk of economic exchange. In addition, he much preferred not risking his life trying to take on the monster. Koji did consider himself quite skilled, even if he was only a genin, though no-where near any potential to fight. He was smart too, there was no point in fighting a battle he would ultimately lose.

While Koji felt inclined to follow up with a question, he instead just sat their, nodidng alongside Estuko's statement. He didn't enjoy abandoning those that were doomed to die following the Kazekage's orders, but at the same time - anyone that had the will to resist were standing in the cramped broken room already...

_{"We should relocate to Hi no Kuni until the battle dies down." he muttered, and hopping from the desk he went forth after gathering his belongings. Like hell would he sit around and get blown to smithereens.}

While happy, Satio couldn't help but frown in frustration. "Aw... we just got back from there. Oh well, the place is nice." he said, his mood lightening towards the end of his own input. Swiping his foot in front of him to start a rotation towards his back, he followed suit, grabbing the minimal belongings that he actually had; making sure to place the light-weight blue helmet on before hoisting the bags over his shoulders. About time they were leaving this pig-sty.
