Taking a walk around Hokage Rock used to be such a pleasant jaunt, but with more members of her clan in town, it was more or less inevitable that she would run into them more often. All she wanted was a silent stroll, instead she had clan members vying for her attention and issuing queries. While her husband was away, it was up to her to run the clan, which is all well and good until you realized just how much schmoozing some of the clan members perform just to manipulate their way closer to the clan head. As if brown-nosing would ever do anything but make her or Maki less amicable to these... annoyances.
At one point she actually had to cast a genjutsu around her to make them think they only some someone that sort of looked like her and then she had to literally henge into a tree! These money-grubbing pests were getting on her last nerve. With a sigh, Hoshirei sat on the edge of the cliff next to the carved faces. While she didn't see him very often, Hoshirei missed Maki's presence in the village. He always had this presence about him which soothed her somehow. She had this jittery feeling that started less than a month after Maki left the village, like something wasn't quite right.
Hoshirei looked out over her home. Konoha had long been her home and some individuals in her clan decided that she was an outsider because of that fact. They didn't care that she was the cousin of the previous clan head since she had grown up outside of the clan. The only part of stepping into Maki's shoes while he was away, which she found enjoyable, was shutting down the elders who thought she might be a doormat. Seeing their countenance turn and tone change from a pandering smile to grudging respect was glorious. A small smirk graced her face and she leaned back onto her hands just taking in the sights, sounds and smells of Konoha.
