Listening to Kokai words frightened Kota a little, the very imagination of a goal began to make him nervous. He had never thought of a goal ever since he joined the Academy and he still do not have one. He sat in front of Kokai in silence, thinking to himself quietly. Then he knew. It was always in his head, the very goal he never knew, it was always there, ever since he was kidnapped by Republic shinobi in his Academy days....the very event that had changed him. He stood up, his hands balled up into a fist. "My goal....it's not to become Hokage. Nor' is my goal for the destruction of the Republic. My goal is to become the strongest Shinobi in the world and stop this war....and I'm going to see it through!" He smiled, with a burning rage in his eyes. It seemed as if you looked into his eyes, you would have seen the very things he had in his past.
