. . . 17 years old . . .
The war had been going on for about two years and a half now. There were territories lost and some gained, but ultimately, Kazi thrived all the way, and his little organisation in Black Lake was fully operational now.
Through Boar and Navi's connections to the underground, Kazi even got more members to join him exclusively. They were all sutori recorded missing in action or rogues, so it was safe to say that he had brought in a lot of backstabbers and cowards who would abandon him at any moment, but that didn't matter in the end, since he was making plans to counter that very fact.
Kazi was clear of one thing in his mind at all times. What he needed most wasn't trust worthy allies or soldiers who would put their trust in him, no... what he needed were highly intelligent and individual puppets that would gladly throw their lives for him if he so much as wishes for them to.
