Nindō

is a rule for the particular shinobi to live by. It is their way of ninja life, their motto. It can also be taken as a dream. A ninja's nindō can be anything, no matter how immoral their personal point of view is. Most often Naruto Uzumaki proclaims his nindō, his ninja way, to be: "I'm not gonna run away. I never go back on my word, that is my nindō! My ninja way!" According to Madara Uchiha, the nindō of the Uchiha clan is to exact revenge against their hated enemies, the Senju clan and Konohagakure.
