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

[This will surely end well.]

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

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.]

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.
