Lord Genma nods and takes the offered scrolls. He begins translating the message out loud to Masahiro, who seems to be listening intently, though not direcly looking at it. Masahiro's face is turning red with anger as he listens, and Genma looks none too pleased reading it. When Genma finishes he turns to Rose.

"There's no need to keep your head down, Rose-chan."

"The daughter of the Iron Fist is a person of great respect." Masahiro concurs. "This is indeed concerning." Masahiro turned at the sound of Yukimura's breathing. "Much will have to be done to cover this fool's error." He taps the ground a few times with his cane, before smacking Yukimura in the face with it. "You will go before the jonin for this. Your Lord status is forfeit. Your assets will be divided amonmgst your peers and your soldiers will be reassigned. I suggest you come up with a suitable plea for your life."

The blow had woken Yukimura up. "No! Wait! I did it for the Hand! For all of us!"

"You heard Masahiro-sama, get him out of here." Genma ordered. With that several Hand ninjas grabbed the fallen lord, binding his wrists and escorting him to the estate's dungeon. When he's gone, Genma wipes at his eyes. "This is some predicament we are in."

Keiji speaks now, having kept silent in the presence of the senior lords. "This must be brought before the jonin, only he can summon all the lords. They must see this if we are to respond in a united fashion."

Masahiro turns at Keiji's voice and nods. "You are correct Deathstrike-sama. I will see to that myself. My apologies for the trouble the Hand has caused you, Rose-san." Masahiro gives a deep bow, before departing with his own soldiers.

Genma bowed as well. "I leave the return of Rose-chan to her home up to, Keiji-san. We may be fractured, but the Hand will not allow itself to become a pawn. We will be ready for retribution. Farewell, Rose-chan." A final bow from Genma, and the rotund lord leaves with his men.

"Well, I seem to remember promising you a boatride to the United States. Follow me. My attendnet, Shinsuke will be waiting for us."
