‘ i apologize , takuma-san. i suppose i allowed my tact to evade me for a moment there. ’ honesty was shimo’s strong suit , no doubt , but he normally worked to put things delicately rather than plainly in order to avoid unnecessary confrontation. ‘ of course i will vouch for your candidacy to become hokage when the time comes. all i’m trying to say is the job isn’t what it’s made out to be. ’ he should know , after all; the responsibilities of being yukigake slowly creeping up on him despite the current yukikage being perfectly capable of the work. he was next in line , he knew it well and so did his people. did he want the job? absolutely not. ‘ i hope the council takes my word into consideration , i’ve worked with konohagakure closely these last few years so i’m sure it won’t be a problem. ’ as an ambassador for an ally village to konoha shimo’s opinion on the next hokage was important , just like any other ambassadors opinion was considered important.
     Takuma frowned like a child as reality hit him in the face; well, more like Shimo backhanding him across the face with the truth even though he half expected to hear it. The Hokage position was a lot more than he was making it out to be, he assumed that much, but he couldn’t help but want to know more about it. Not to mention he had a bet with Uzumaki Naruto on who was going to snatch it first.

                                  ❝Look, I’ll be honest with you, buddy,❞ Takuma placed a hand on the other’s shoulder as he looked him straight in the eyes, ❝I gotta take that position from my dweeb of a friend, no matter what it costs. I can’t give him the satisfaction, y’know?❞
     Takuma could be a devious little shit when the time called for it, though he wasn’t sure how far it would get him in a situation like this. The most he could hope for at the moment was that his words had some sort of effect on the other that motivated him to, you know, secure it. Was it possible? Probably not, but he’s desperate. 
                                  ❝I’m what the kids call a “broke bitch” Mo—can I call you Mo?—and I’d hate for him to win. Help a fella out, right?❞
