Leah will be the first to admit, at any given time, that her morals are not quite human. She does not think like a human. She does not react to death like a human. She does not regard pain or injury as a human does.
She does have very strong opinions on the matter of soul theft, though.
The first time Uzumaki Nagato plucks a soul from the furthest reaches of her kingdom and drags it back to the world of the living, all of Hel feels her rage. The stones shudder and the demons scream, and all but the highest ranking of the dead souls hide.
"You could ask if this is normal," Rin suggests, watching Leah pace the length of their shared office with a frown. "There are legends about this, so maybe there are regulations for Rinnegan-based reversal of death. Shinigami-sama might know."
He does, and he tells her not to worry about it. He tells her that with all the souls that go through this process, he handles every transaction.
"It'll happen occasionally, with Rinnegan. Technically speaking, the Lady Death did approve it. When they die permanently, they'll return to you, but until then, just let them go. The longer they've been dead, the harder it is the return them to life, and the technique's wielder pays you a tithe in chakra every time he does it."
"So it'll happen again."
"Yes. Leah, it's normal for here. You don't have to like it, just accept it. Rinnegan has been approved as an official way for souls to be returned to the living. If someone else tries a different way, talk to me about whether it's been approved and we'll see about what we can do if it hasn't been."
Leah seethes.
