One word: Power. As a member of the shinobi world, we all seek power. We crave the acknowledgement, recognition and praise from our comrades that we all go to a certain extent of no return. We lose ourselves in a crazed obsession of ambition that we're naïve and go after false hopes and promises. From personal experience, I too, am a fool for being over ambitious to the point of losing my family and myself. I was deceived and am currently paying the consequences with my very life. I trusted the untrustworthy and now, I will forever take this lesson to heart. But, as I've been told, "To all poisons, there's an antidote. To all problems, there's a solution." If I've learnt anything from this god forsaken experience, it's to trust yourself and your natural instincts. Granted a deal, I exchange my life for another's. It's only if he lives up to his end of the bargain, will I be deemed as free. My name? Not needed. Only know that within my story, there's only unnecessary trouble, uncontrollable desires and friendships I never considered were possible.
