Yondaime sat on his desk at the front of the room, looking relaxed as he normally did. "Today's going to be a review for you all to go over what we've done this term since next week is your final. It's covering a little bit of everything from the begining. So I want you all to study what we've covered. Work with each other as much as you want, the only notes you're allowed to have are your hiragana and Katakana charts."

...Well that sort of response didn't put him on edge at all.

"Uhh... I would hope that I'm a better person to ask than him, what is it Ino?"

Re: Talk to Yondaime

[intraspective]

"He's good for a lot of questions actually." Ino couldn't resist saying, before continuing, "Do you think all ninja are psychopaths?" Straight to the point.

...That was an interesting question.

"To a point yes," he nodded. "Why else would we do the things we do? Why are you asking?"

"At work yesterday, this woman came by and we had a... difference in opinion about needing a license to own a gun. I don't get it - what's the point? It won't stop the people that want guns from getting them, and there's plenty of other ways to kill things." Ino shifted slightly, "And she said that I'd feel differently if I'd ever killed someone. I don't see why it would. Why would I think about the family of a ninja who'd tried to kill me? Why should I care? So I said that most people I knew got along just fine with killing people, and she said that we're psychopaths."

"Are you really okay with killing people Ino?" Yondaime asked, his face turning serious. "Do you really think there is nothing wrong with killing people?"

Re: Talk to Yondaime

[intraspective]

"I don't see a problem if they're trying to kill me." Ino said, frowning, "I mean, I'd never go and do it for, like... fun, or anything. And I don't know how I'd react - I've never done it before, but I don't think it'd be that big of a deal. Especially if it was for a mission."

"Don't say it's not wrong until you've done it Ino," he sad very seriously. "If you can, never kill. Even if they're attacking you, you incipaciated them if you're able," he shrugged. "Though accidents do happen. You never kill jsut because you can."

Ino stared at him. "Yamanaka jutsu are, like, made for killing people. Dad says I'll start being sent out on missions that use them that way not long after I make Chuunin." Never kill? How was she supposed to avoid that? "I mean, we've been pretty peaceful since you... uh... left, but... never kill?"

"I didn't say that Ino, I said don't just because you can, there are some situations where you can't get around it and I understand that. However." He paused and leaned back in the chair.

"My generation fought so that your didn't have to fight as much as we did." He might have had a pitying look. "I doubt that your father meant you to think that your jutsu is only good for killing people."

Re: Talk to Yondaime

[intraspective]

"I don't think that it's only good for killing people." Ino protested, bristling at both the pitying look and his implying that she'd ever just kill 'cause she could. "But that is one of the primary things it was designed for. That, and spying."

Re: Talk to Yondaime

"Do you think killing is okay Ino?"

Re: Talk to Yondaime

[intraspective]

Ino spent a long moment readjusting Kabu-chan's position, and thought about that. She looked fustrated. "I don't know! Doesn't it all depend on the circumstances?"

Re: Talk to Yondaime

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

"No," he shook his head. "It doens't depend, but we can talk about this again after you've actually had to take a life. In the mean time... why do you have a baby?"

Re: Talk to Yondaime

[intraspective]

She didn't get it, but didn't mind the subject change.

"Kabu-chan?" Ino said to the baby, "Meet Yondaime-sama." Needless to say, the baby didn't really react. "He's an assignment in Ethics and because Kabuto is a complete and utter jerk I'm stuck with Kabu-chan the entire time."
