The question brings a not-so-well-hidden sparkle into her eyes. Naoto enjoys talking about tactics and skills, and how to make the best use of abilities.

"What increase of reach a longer blade would bring me is made negligible by my own unfortunate stature." Naoto says that crisply, in spite of the fact that she tries to straighten her spine more and lifts her chin in defiance. "And besides that fact, my affinity is Wind."

She doesn't elaborate, but if this ninja knows what can be done with Wind chakra and a blade, he'll know exactly how she compensates for the shorter reach of a smaller blade in an efficient way. Wind chakra cuts so beautifully, perhaps not as well as Lightning, but well enough for her purpose.
