[... They are serious, but Minato's never been the sort of person to judge anyone, and this is no different. Something about the concept of changing someone's heart is a little discomfiting for him, someone who has always wanted to see people change on their own.
But it sounds like Akira did what he did for a very good reason. How can he blame him for that? They're different people, different leaders, and had different methods. And Akira... Akira saved so many people, he's sure.]
... It started because you wanted to protect people... right?
Because you wanted to help protect people who couldn't protect themselves.
[Minato gets it in one, and Akira lets out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding]
We fight on behalf of the people for whom no one else will fight. We give courage to those who are too afraid to speak up against those in power above them.
[. . .]
I'm not going to say that we're blameless, or that we're completely innocent, or that we aren't crossing some lines ourselves. But-- [another sharp exhale]
If those who do have power won't bring men like that asshole teacher to justice, then that's why the world needs us.
[Minato takes a slow breath in... and nods. It's not his place at all to judge what Akira's doing as right or wrong. It's what Akira feels he has to do, and that in and of itself has merit.
Besides... how can he not have faith in Akira's passion and certainty?]
... I see. So that's why you and your team took up arms to fight Shadows...

It must've been hard.
