Kenshin would look around. This group was very interesting. There was a strong potential for this class. They had good instincts.
"Reicheru is correct. Respect is not bowing down to every little thing. You can respect and be respectful with someone while disagreeing. Katsu yes respectability is always in a state of flux but in this instance you continued your diatribe despite knowing who you were talking to. As leader of the village, Takeshi does deserve at least a little respect form his own village. As he leads us you can make your own decisions on him but at least to his face be respectful is all I ask. Sorry Kohaku I am sorry this is what the class entails. We are almost finished I believe. Ryujou you bring up a good point. Maybe what we are discussing is a little pedantic. Being polite is far more important in the now. However just because one is strong does not mean you have the ability to follow whatever motives you may or may not have. Goodness knows if all of you attacked me now I wouldn't even suffer a bruise. That does not mean that I am going to exert my power so others have to follow. If it were that simple why didn't I just bring you in here and attack you until the message had sunk in? Because there are proper ways of doing things. Power by itself does not mean you rule and lord over those around you. Sure the Hokage is someone I would rather not fight 1 vs 1 but I imagine I could give him a run for his position if need be. Therefore, I would suggest reexamining your need for power and what urges come to you. All of us in this room are shinobi of the Leaf village. All of us are in this together. It is easier if we can all trust each other and not all fight. Part of that is accepting a chain of command. You may not like it or you may not like the person who is directly overseeing you but unless it is an order that puts you in danger, that order is to help you. For you young ones it means following orders. Again you may not like it. Goodness knows I didn't like all my instructors and I hated doing some things as a students. Now please forgive me for a moment, I need to step out to get something."
Kenshin would leave and leave a clone of himself at the door to see if there was any funny business.
The Real Kenshin would rush around to the kitchen area of the schoo land shuffle around a few things.
In a minute or two, he would be back with some containers and some simple dishes.
"Here you all are. Three different types of ice cream, vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry and some honey for you if you want it Ryujou. I suggest you keep your destructive habits to a minimum in the future. Now please help yourself."
Kenshin would wait to see if anyone took it and then after a little bit, he would start to speak again.
"I understand you all have your own opinion on the matter. I understand that having respect for someone may not always be an easy thing to do. Maybe we can agree on being polite to the higher ups. In time you should be able to respect them. Some are eccentric but capable. I hope in the future I will see you all as capable Genin and higher up. Some of you may join the medical or ANBU branches but if you stay in the main branch I will be your advisory, your supervisor, and your voice among the higher ups. I hope you trust me enough for that at least. Class is dismissed. "
Kenshin would wait and see if anyone stayed but if everyone left he would too. He hoped he had reached them. If he didn't there was going to be problems.
