Takahiro listened with full attention as Rena explained why she wanted to be a shinobi. Honestly as Chisa explained the situation with her grandmother it made him angry, for a moment his eyes would seem to turn red before fading to black. He could be seen clearly tightening his grip on the menu when she finally stopped to let him speak he took a deep breath "Chisa. Don't be dumb" It was surprisingly blunt compared to his normal calm persona. "No one controls you but you. Your Grandmother is stuck in old times. Look at my family, they are set in tradition but I have my freedom still, I'm an heir just like you but i'm not being forced into marriage." he would rub his temples letting the menue fall flat "Look, all i'm saying is ... don't let them decide for you. Stand up for yourself, you don't have to get married to carry on the clan, you can get married when you're older" He then smiled "Though I'm glad you made the decision to become a ninja, despite everything you might think ... that was pretty brave. So become a ninja and make your clan famous because of your achievemnts, not because you married someone. You can do it" For a moment he would just watch her before he coughed when she asked him what he became a ninja for.

Taka would seemingly light up as if this was his favourite topic. He would motion for her to look around. "Look at these people" There was a young child eating ice cream with his father, children playing tag in the streets, girls laughing amongst themselves, a young couple showing public displays of affection, all these people were from different walks of life. "These people are the souls of Konoha, its what makes Konoha amazing. What makes it home" He would lean forward, ambition clear in his dark eyes "I became a shinobi because I want to protect them, I want Konoha to remain peaceful, safe for all of these people. I became a shinobi so i can become Hokage, 'cause if I'm hokage then no one can stop me from keeping Konoha safe" He would grin at her and sit back before seemingly looking kind of disturbed "6 months back I was on that mission to save the Hokage's daughter. Some of things that I saw that night still ... they still bother me. I don't want anything like that to happen to Konoha again"
