Hence, I was requesting that some of your men would work for me", Gōka said without a break. In response to the Mizukage's open request a few of the advisers take on a look of bewilderment, and and begin to murmur amongst themselves. Without delay the daimyō silences their comments with a wave of his hand. "Is that so?" the lord replies with a smirk, "Assuming it is shinobi you desire, what makes you think that members of my personal guard would be suited for your endeavors?" "As I looked into Kirigakure Academy Records, the Shinobi's who were sanctioned to you were of high importance to the village, they were given to you in hopes that they wouldn't die like a normal shinobi but die a Honorable death, honor higher than that of the birds lurking in the sky, especially those members of the Yuki Clan" Gōka replied. "Leave us," the lord instructs his servants, who resist for a moment before filing out of the room slowly. "You've gone to great lengths to research this Gōka," he begins to explain after the pair were left alone, "I'm sure you're aware that the infamy of the Yuki clan persists to this day, thus you must realize that employing him may be interpreted poorly by the village." "You think so ?, you are a Daimyō ? Kirigakure has regained the trust back from the what you call- demons in disguise ? Look at the Fifth Mizukage, look at the seventh Mizukage and look at me Gōka Hōzuki of the Antartic, the Nineth Mizukage of Kirigakure, If you feel you must keep the Yuki's from running the Village you are wrong !", Gōka raised his voice, clenching his fist to the nearby Table. Maintaining his composure the lord of the Land of Water merely observes the Mizukage for a moment. "If you are so adamant on this path, I suppose I have no choice but to trust your judgement," he responds in a stoic manner, "Though considering the scenario at hand certain measures need to be taken to explain handing over one of my soldiers." "What is it ?" groaned the Mizukage. "Hashitaka," the daimyō calls as a kneeling shinobi appears beside his summoner, face hidden by a dark cloak. "Since this is what you want Gōka...why don't we have a little fun with the exchange," the lord announces, "Hashitaka, you'll be serving as my representative in an event. More specifically, you'll be publicly dueling with the Mizukage, I'm sure it will be a hit." Standing up the table the lord makes his way to the exit, "If you can take him Gōka, he'll be under under your command from that point forward. I'll send you the details the event soon, farewell Mizukage." Without another word the daimyō takes his leave, while the cloaked shinobi remains silent but relocates himself to one of the several chairs around the table." "So be it" Gōka thought to himself, as he looked at the man then finaaly taking his leave as well. "What an annoying pair," the cloaked man speaks quitely to himself as he leans back in the chair. Later that evening the Mizukage is delivered the date and time of the duel, had been advertised throughout the village. Gōka scanned through the invitation and left a sigh. He called a man in traditional Kirigakure flak-jacket and whispered in his ears. He then walked slowly to the window side where he watched the news spreading to the town.
