If i'm playing Shiro Kitsuki with Bokkai and Hirohisa under 2 provinces, can i use the battle from the SH to bring Hirohisa into play for free, use his reaction to get Bokkai into play, then duel someone with Bokkai as the aditional action, win and react with him to put Hirohisa under a province again? If this works, will Hirohisa still be removed from the game after the battle ends? If i have another way to bring someone into play from under one of my provs, can i use Hirohisa's reaction again?

SHIRO KITSUKI After players reveal Strongholds, search your deck for four different non-Unique Dragon Clan Samurai. Attach one to each of your Provinces, face-down and out of play. Battle: Once per battle, target a face-down Personality attached to one of your Provinces. If he would be opposed, bring him into play face-up at the current battlefield, ignoring costs. You may take an additional Battle action. Remove the Personality from the game after the battle ends.

MIRUMOTO BOKKAI: Reaction: Once per turn, after the end of a duel that Bokkai won: Target one of your Provinces and a non-Unique Dragon Clan Personality in your discard pile. Attach the Personality to the Province, face-down and out of play.

MIRUMOTO HIROHISA Reaction: After Hirohisa enters play: Target a Personality attached to one of your Provinces. Bring him into play at Hirohisa's location, paying all costs.

No.

Note that Bokkai's Reaction can only target a Personality in your discard pile to put under a province. In the sequence you describe above, Hirohisa is at the current battlefield.
