There seem to be quite a few people here who identify themselves as ninja.

They're much more rare where I'm from. Is this different in other places?

It seems there are some places that have several villages still. I wonder how long they'll last.

Hey, I know what ninja's are My girlfriend's kind of like one, but I've met more here than I thought existed back home. I mean, I know there are probably more than I've gotten to see, but I think that's the point. You know, since you're not supposed to see ninjas?

What kind of ninja just tells anyone who asks what they do?

People with talents or special abilities might be more likely to be gathered here. It's hard to say.

... Why anyone?

Do we really have to go over this all again? I swear, if this is that idiot from before, I'll do more than bust your nose next time I see you.

I don't understand why it's such a big deal. Just because ninja are more rare or less rare, doesn't mean they'll be more or less skilled. Whether you grew up in a big village or just got trained from some old guy in the middle of the woods, it shouldn't matter!

A little defensive, aren't we?

Funny or not, it's obvious that you doubt yourself.

So I have a temper. Big deal.

If people's opinion of your village ninja is important to you, it is.

Look, if you want something, just say it. If all you want is to poke fun and me, my village, or the way I react to your stupid comments, I've got better things to do.

Look, if you wanna discuss this, I don't mind telling you what just about everyone in our world already knows about ninjas, but I'm sick of hearing that just because there are lots of ninjas or whatever, it means we're not as good. Maybe there's something wrong with whatever universal translator they're using, but since when does where you come from have anything to do with how good a ninja you are?

Yes, alright? We have whole villages of ninja. Happy?

I've just had way too much condescending attitude from other so-called ninja, and I'm a little fed up. If it's not you, then fine, I'm just tired of it.

Anyway, it sounds like your other ninja are more like spies or something? We do espionage sometimes, but not primarily. We do a lot of what I guess might be called mercenary work. We get hired out a lot to perform missions, but they can be anything from like, an assassination to undercover work to weeding someone's garden (by the way, that last one is totally not even a Genin rank mission, it's like kid stuff for training ok?). There's one ninja village in each of the main countries. If we weren't there, I think a lot of things would totally fall apart! We train from a young age, go to academy and if you're lucky, you graduate and pass on to become a ninja. It's not something just anyone can do!

Anyway, I don't get why you have to keep that you're a ninja a secret. Most of the ones I know are really proud of what they are! We even have emblems that show what village we're from.

There you have it. I'm not saying either one is better than the other or whatever like that turtle ninja guy, but so long as we're all still acknowledged as ninja, there's no problem, right?

[identity profile] see-my-back.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, that's what he said. Guy was a complete ass. Even more obnoxious in person, trust me. And didn't look anything like a turtle. Nothing against turtles, I mean, they're okay for summoning jutsu or whatever, but not really my first choice.

Wutai's the only place in my world that has ninja. Stuff happened, things changed, and they were on the front lines where they wanted to be and needed to be. Now only the best of the best are left, but it's picking up again.

It's a definition thing, like you were saying up there.
