At the end of the day, they are pretty much Assassins for hire. If they dream of world peace and flowery meadows, boy did they pick the wrong profession. I wonder if ninja villages allow people with other dreams and aspirations to leave the village.
Isn't that what Konoha is pretty much all about? You know, the whole will of fire thing.
