Are you sure about this?

No, I'm being serious here, are you sure you can handle this? It's not really fair to put me in these places when you're so...well, like you. You know what I mean, slow!

I know you miss Vatheon, I guess I kind of miss it too, and Soul is all alone in that weird port place...but still! Don't take on more than you can handle!

What do you mean I'm being a hypocrite? I never take on more than I can handle. Hmph.

And yet it seems tame compared to having Five Countries hunting you day and night with kill-on-sight orders.

[he doesn't mention the part about being unable to return home because... that's not home anymore. it's a village full of fools that deserve death]

[heartandsoul]

They probably got sick of you talking about killing things all the time.

Killing is a way of life for a shinobi. We are taught how to kill as soon as we can walk.

[malignancy]

They are hypocrites deciding who should live and who should die, playing games of war with people as the game pieces, pitting families against themselves, selfishly sacrificing others to protect themselves.

[malignancy]

And I will kill all of them. Who are you to judge when you know nothing? Is righteous vengeance not a just cause?

[heartandsoul]

It's insanity.

Insanity affects them and you, and you all think you're in the right. But I can't say who is right. I can't judge insanity; I don't understand insanity and I will never be able to, all I can do is keep it out of my soul.

But I can say that killing everyone is not a just cause, it makes you as bad as the people you hate. And if it were up to me, I'd stop you.

[malignancy]

He says he'll stop me. I'll mount his head on a pike for the whole village to see.

[heartandsoul]

Somehow I doubt that. I think a part of you doubts that, too.

[malignancy]

I left my doubts behind when I discovered their lies.

Do you prefer comedies or tragedies?

[heartandsoul]

If this is the build up to some dumb punchline I'm ending this.

And I prefer historical fiction, actually. I read more often than I see plays.

[malignancy]

Do I look like the type to make a joke?

[heartandsoul]

One of my friends claims to be a ninja, too.

He loudly announces his presence whenever he's on a stealth mission.

People do strange things at strange times.

[malignancy]

I don't.

[heartandsoul]

Says the insane ninja that's talking about committing mass murder.

[malignancy]

Justice and murder often go hand-in-hand.
