Just for clarification on Costs and targets
limited:Bow your target Ninja Personality and pay Gold equal to the targeted unit's total Gold Cost: Destroy a target unit. Lose 4 honor.
The question is there are two targets and it does not specify on the card that it is the unit being destroyed. Could we get a clarification as there is a bit of a discussion on this... thanks

As you say, there are two targets. Those are your Ninja and the unit you're destroying.
Note that the phrase "the targeted unit" in reference to the Gold payment is referring back to the same unit.
Because of the the sequence of taking an action here, you do this:
A. Announce the action. "Hey! I'm taking an action!" Okay.
B. Target required targets. You now target your Ninja Personality and the unit in the sentence "Destroy a target unit."
C. Pay costs. Now, what costs have you got? "Gold equal to the targeted unit's total Gold Cost". What "targeted unit"? The one you "targeted" in Step B. There you go.
I hope that helps.
