True. Some shinobi in my world would look down at you for it. I sure as hell won't though.

[She pushed off the wall a bit, leaning forward, eyes filled with more energy. It's true that shinobi from her world would probably reject heroes for the most part.

However, she and her friends weren't normal. Then again, nothing of what she explained was normal.]

You're taking a path that's more difficult, and you're clearly set on it. You will be challenged and tested constantly. Probably already have been too with how you talk. [And with how much Homura blabbed on about killing so casually.]

I don't think it's naive, not when you are aware of all of this, and with how adamant you are with no killing. If we all took the easy way out, I imagine we wouldn't be doing these trials at all.

[She smiled, for the first time since coming up here. All this reminded her of the first time she and Asuka met, both still finding their true path of being a shinobi.]

That level of strength and resolve is worthy more of respect than anything. Especially when you aren't yelling like a certain blonde I met.
