[i]"The Second Great Shinobi War,"[/i]

Kami blinked. Even herself, who grabbed onto any subject and intensely studied it, had barely heard anything of the Second Great Shinobi War. She had heard a little bit, but it was only passing words. Something her mother silently discussed with another medical ninja. Kami could understand. There was probably something so awful about that war that adults didn't want the younger generation to know about it. However, it just didn't sit right with Kami. If history was erased, how would they ever learn from it? They were bound to only repeat it. 

Hitori was ready to let Sai live. Although that might not be complete nonsense, Kami would have never made the same decision. Sai had caused a massive genocide; he didn't deserve to be pardoned for that. And, even if he would have spent the rest of his life in jail, Kami couldn't see that happening either. Sai had never seemed like the type of man who would quietly sit in a jail cell until the ends of time. At first, Sai had been a good man. He had tried to change the world for the better. It was unfortunate the man had become corrupted. So many lives had been lost; too many children slaughtered. Kami would forever see Hitori in a different light, but she wasn't too sure that was a good thing. He had showed mercy to even his enemy, but... Sai could have escaped or people would have tried to free him. It was merciful of Hitori but definitely not a wise decision.

None of that mattered though- Sai as dead. Kami stared at the spiraling ball of wind. "You cannot have peace without war; you cannot have war without peace." Kami commented, staring at Hayato's hand. Was he going to injure her? In... a hospital? Kami tilted her head to the side, watching and waiting. She wouldn't stand here and allow herself to be injured. Her mother would be so ashamed if Kami wielded such like that. "It is wonderful people can believe otherwise." It was hopeful. A hopeful and pure thought but so easily corrupted. "However, people are flawed and emotional. A perfect world can't exist." That was unless someone had some powerful ability to brainwash the whole world. Otherwise, an Utopia was completely improbably. 

Hayato was still insisting the war hadn't been necessary. But it [i]had[/i]. Sure lot's of lives had been lost, but... The war had stopped a greater evil. "It was necessary. There was a [i]genocide[/i] going on that needed to be stopped." She hissed the word genocide; it felt like poison on her tongue. Sai's reign had been a tramuatizing experience for anyone who had lived though it. One day you could be playing tag with your friend and a few days later be burying them. Sai hadn't been about peace as much as killing off clans. To Kami the war hadn't been about the freedom to able to use ninjustu or to create an army. The war had been about stopping a genocide. 

Leniency because Hayato had helped finish the war. That was absolute nonsense if Hayato believed that leniency was endless. Kami reached her hand up and, if Hayato didn't stop her, Kami would poke him in the chest. "Sai was a good guy once too." She reminded him, brusquely. Even if Hayato was a war hero, that didn't mean he was resistant to being corrupted.
