Asuka chuckled, covering her eyes as the hilarious situation started to way in. She was going take over for Takeshi. No. This had to be some kind of twisted joke between the higher ups. Her skillset wasn't to par, her qualifications alone didn't make her worthy for the title of she was being given. Pinching her nose she turned to Takeshi. "A Hokage of War." She repeated shaking her head. "Since your appointment we've had a failed invasion attempt, rebellious children and a couple of fights that, coincidently, landed me the role I am in now. Talking of yourself as if you were a glorified executioner is laughable at best." She shot back, trying to convey the radicoulness of the allegation. "From the moment you took an interest to me you've been nothing but honorable and fair in giving out rewards as well as punishment. Heck, I'm a troublemaker yet you still saw potential in me and gave me the chance to become who I am today. Hokage of War.... I swear. If one of those council old farts called you that I will personally make them witness what a Hokage of War looks like." She warned, in all honesty she didn't really know what to think. She couldn't see exactly Takeshi in anything but that role, he was definitely a lousy joker but a wonderful leader.
"The village needs you." She shot back "I'm a glorified teacher that got high ranking position based purely on coincidence and luck. Got Head Jounin cause Shion decided to book it. Main Branch Sennin thanks due to; 1. Kenshins retirement and 2. because literally no one else was remotely qualified. So please do not say the village needs me, it has never needed me." She started getting emotional, in reality, thinking it through it wasn't because of the job per say, things were changing way too fast, too fast to contemplate and she wasn't liking it. "Kenshin left, Yukio is gone. I don't want things to change anymore. I'm the village idiot, I like it that way."
