The Frozen Rose

"It's unfair. This is so unfair!"

Life was unfair to her.

"Sayonara, Tou-sama."

He left.

"Do whatever you think is best, dear."

He left his wife to take care of their child.

"I don't know."

She had plans for her child. But fate had it's own plans,

"Sayonara Oka-san"

And the two were separated.

"I'm Mebuki Haruno and this is Kizashi Haruno. Welcome to the family."

The child grew up in the hands of that family. But they loved her as their own.

"Is she a genius or something?"

A lot of people question themselves when they meet her because of her unusual behavior.

"May I remind you that you are a prodigy and a genius, if you forgot."

She was a prodigy and a genius.

"She's good"

"She's fast. I didn't even see her attack coming."

"Her attacks are flawless, leaving no blind spot open to land a hit."

"Her aim is accurate, dead center."

She bloomed into someone powerful.

"She's perfect to be a legal shinobi of Konohagakure.

"Rina is the perfect example of an ideal kuniochi."

She was shinobi material.

"But the only difference is that she made the ideal a reality."

"Senju Rina. Daughter of Tsunade and Jiraiya. Age: 4. Top 1 in the academy. Best in everything. One word to describe her: Perfect."

And she became the greatest of them all. But everyone had their own flaws. She was broken. Her family was forced to leave her. She witnessed her friends die in front of her. The one she loved became a criminal. He was seen as a monster by his own beloved brother. But despite the chaos and darkness trying to envelope her, she stayed true to her words.

"I can't promise you that sensei. But even if I have a cold facade on, I will always have a golden, pure heart. I promise."

And she believes that..

"Hurting others is wrong and killing is wrong. I know that as a young, inexperienced shinobi. But I believe, when you kill, when you hurt someone with the right purpose -to protect someone you love or the village you love- you are doing the right thing."
