The Most Dangerous Tool

A common belief is that ninja are tools and it's true, however, the common misconception is that we are mindless tools meant to do our master's bidding.

This couldn't be further from the truth and that truth is that shinobi are weapons of the highest caliber, we are sentient weapons. We think, we feel, we choose. Like the masterwork blades Samehada and Ame no Murakumo we choose who wields us and like those blades we can leave and destroy that wielder.

So never lose your humanity because without it you are no better than a simple slab of hammered metal.
