The Shinobi's Life
It is silence.
It is silence in the face of authority.
It is silence as yet one more breathes his last.
It is silence facing interrogation. Never show pain.
It is silence when you know there are no real answers.
It is never turning.
It is never turning when you hear the screams.
It is never turning back when the goal is ahead.
It is never turning on your team mates, even when they are no longer sane.
It is never turning your will away though you know you are breaking.
It is quick.
It is quick to find the answer you need.
It is quick to accept the orders you have been given.
It is quick to move on to the job, even while your soul is still bleeding.
It is quick to recognize the end when your life is worth no more than your death.
It is death.
It is death to emotions.
It is death to all the precious ones now lost.
It is death to all appearances of a normal life and mind.
It is death to your soul and everything about you that was able to see life.
It is the shinobi's life.
