In a fit of nervousness, Kota raised his hand, which was shaking, and mumbled out "C-Can I please leave and go train with Kokai or Ria Sensei....this is a little too much for me..." He had a squeak in his voice, which was rare. As said before, he has a brave heart, but this was a little too frightening for him. He would much rather have been practicing his Fire or Wind Release instead of getting in a conflict...specifically because the Hokage was there...and the Hokage scared him greatly.
