Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

This is my first fic, please review. Constructive critism is also appreciated. This is just an introduction, the story will be in the next paragraph.

------------------------------

A Shinobi shouldn't be concerned with a reason for his or her own existence. It is important merely that they exist as a tool for their homeland to use in whatever way they need…but that path is not meant for the true Shinobi.

A true Shinobi is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the one(s) they care about most; to fight, to kill, or dieto fulfill that person's dreams, doing so is their dream.

A true Shinobi when they are protecting someone truly precious they truly can become as strong as they must be.

A true Shinobi sacrifices themselves for their comrades, friends, loved ones, and lovers…a Shinobi worthy of the utmost respect, who in order to protect someone they care about died.

With that, they will become a true Shinobi.
