Cranky Ninja

[ninja_coder]

 
I have informed my compatriots in Clan Nettobuku that when a ninja is sneaking up on his target, it's kind of annoying when his clan-mates come and ask him questions. Hopefully my productivity will now increase a bit.

If we didn't have to spend so much time in the temple, chanting and burning incense and propitiating the ancestors and kami, perhaps we might have more time for slaying enemies. However, the priestesses and monks have pointed out that we must be righteous and harmonious, as well as ferocious and efficient.

It's just hard, when so many of the people we need to kill are city-dwellers. As always, my list of targets is large and growing.

(The appropriateness of the musical selection is purely a coincidence. Honest.)

Too many meetings and visiting coworkers to do actual work?

But the chanting and burning of incense also shows the clan leaders you are one with the clan, centered and balanced, before doing battle. This, to the clan leaders, is as important, if not moreso, than the battle itself. War comes in time, but once it does, there is no more time for preparation.

Small comfort for the warrior who longs for battle, but cares little for court politics.
