Change into the shape of Princess Naomi.
That is our answer: because we have seen the suffering that lies on Sumire's path. The pain, the death, the betrayal, all the innocent who suffer because of her choices, we have witnessed these with our own eyes. Even if the Empress does prove less than trustworthy, there are many more worth fighting for, worth protecting from those like Sumire. By our honor as a kunoichi, so long as the shadows hide cruelty within them, we will always have a reason to fight.
And what awaits her on this path she chooses? She turns against her friends, her family, her loved ones, what is left for her then? At the end of it all, what will she have lived for?
Does she even know of the fate that befell our Princess because of her betrayal? If she is willing to surrender peacefully, we promise to tell her whatever we learn. If she still chooses to run, the answer may be lost to her forever.
It may help to emphasize our point by shifting into different forms during our conversation. Perhaps our new apprentice Nanako or Nanao, or any other victims of the Sisterhood we have witnessed. Perhaps Sumire herself, or what she will look like as a withered corpse. Perhaps even her friends and family, if we have ever seen them.
