[Apropos of nothing, towards the end of the return mingle...]

I'm in need of someone who wants to learn to become a ninja.

[This will surely end well.]

...Why?

[ninjayeehaw]

T'prove that my method a' trainin' one up's just as damn good as Yakumo's.

[yep. that's what this is about.]

Hell, I reckon I can do it better than him.

[fearinahandfulof]

Oh.

[Really, what else is there to say to that?]

[cloudpotter]

Kinji is self-taught. I was born into it. We have different ideas of what makes a good lesson.

[fearinahandfulof]

That... depends on the approach. Doesn't it? Different approaches have different strengths and weaknesses.

[Cassandra actually has rather strong opinions on this, given that her point of comparison is the Organization, but Yakumo has no way of knowing that.]

[cloudpotter]

I don't disagree. For every student, there's a different way of learning that best suits them. Kinji's done well to have come as far as he has, and to have taught himself as much as he did; but his situation and motivations were unique. I don't believe that the same methods would produce the same results for others as they did him. A more structured approach and a more solid foundation would produce better results for most students.
