Weird Planted Evidence question

L5R CCG Rules board, 30 April 2014

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Planted Evidence text states: "Destroy a target personality with 3 or lower chi, or with 4 or lower chi if you control a ninja." My question is how this should be read. Is it:

1.) Target a personality, destroy him if he has 3 or lower chi, or 4 or lower chi if you control a ninja or 2.) Target a personality with 3 or lower chi, 4 or lower if you control a ninja. Destroy them

In other words, does a "with statement" as in this card set up a requirement to TARGET or a requirement on the effect?

The chi requirement is a restriction on the targeting
