[The young ninja would be among the first to tell her that sneaking up on a Master is in an entirely different category than in getting by a sentry. Also, Leo's brothers fail at stealth all the time, and when leader-boy is busy yelling at them to be quiet he does too.]
It's important against overwhelming numbers, but not much use in a spar, [he chuckles as he runs his thumb along gleaming metal to polish it off. They're still wet, but Leo gets soaked on a regular basis; it's business as usual for his gear.
At the question he smirks, gaze drifting up and to the side as he considers the scale of their battles to date.] Well – not by myself, no. [He makes it seem as if it's a slightly embarrassing admittance; Leo would very much liked to have made that claim, but unfortunately couldn't. Miyamoto could have.] And, not all at once.
[The clean blade twists in the air with a flourish, then slides back into its sheath with a clink. Leo's in full Serious Hero (or Pretentious, as his brothers would tell him) Mode.]
But the Shredder has an army all right, and he's serious about taking us out. I don't know how many guys he's got, but the one time they really cornered us with superior numbers he must've sent… I don't know. Fifty guys after us? Plus his two best henchmen, they're worth any ten ashigaru.
In ninja terms, that's an army - and stealth wasn't an option… They had a hostage.

It was pretty intense.
