Hiko Seijuro: I cannot allow you to leave this mountain. Kenshin: Teacher! While we discuss philosophy, scores of people are being crushed by the disturbance each day. We must use our power now! Mitsurugi Swordsmanship must be used to protect the innocent, right? Hiko Seijuro: You contemptuous whelp! What will you do after you lend your arm to this disturbance? If you want to affect a change in the current crisis, you will have to join one side or the other. Therefore, you will also be used by those who hold the power down there. I did not teach Mitsurugi Swordsmanship to you so you could tarnish it that way. You should not pay any attention to these external distractions. Concentrate on your training! Kenshin: People are being oppressed all around us. They are suffering. I cannot just turn my back on them! I will not! Hiko Seijuro: Mitsurugi is the most powerful form of sword technique. It is the black ship of absolute power that sails the land. Kenshin: Thats why we should use it now! To protect the people from these painful times! That is the purpose of the Mitsurugi technique! Hiko Seijuro: Swordsmanship is a method of murder, do you hear me? You can decorate it with all sorts of pretty words, but that is what it is. Kill some people in order to protect others. Murder some to save all. That is the final principle of all sword technique. As you know, I have murdered hundreds of evil men, but they were all human beings. They were merely trying to live their lives the only way they knew how. If you leave this mountain, you will live a life of murder under the direction of men who write their own justice. If you throw your lot in with them, Mitsurugi Technique will make you a mass murderer. Kenshin: You may be right, but I want to rescue with my own hands those who are suffering! Many people, countless lives, as many as I can! I want to be their savior! I must leave in order to do so! (Hiko Seijuro turns his back on Kenshin and walks away) Kenshin: Teacher! Hiko Seijuro: I am wasting my breath on a simpleton like you! Go! Go wherever you want to go! Kenshin: Thank you very much.... Hiko Seijuro: That half-witted pup! He has decided to live according to his own principles. Because he is so pure, he has no other choice but to do this foolish thing.
