On the ninja base, the sensei turned to the thousands of black-clad fighters before him.
He spoke in a soft voice, but it projected to every soldier.
"We fight this battle because they challenged us. If we fall, they have succeeded in pilfering our honour, our lands- and our lives."
"But we shall take up our swords- we shall kill- for the millions of men, women and children who shall be vanquished if we do not. If we fall, they die.
"That cannot happen." *
The troops sat in silence, digesting these unsettling words.
"So we battle?" asked one, a girl, forlornly.
The sensei stared at her for a moment. Then he replied, his voice grim:
"We battle."
*Yes, lame.
