Inspired (adj): aroused, animated, or imbued with the spirit to do something,
It was amazing, the power he had. It was like he wasn't even trying most of the time, all he had to do was be himself and that made people find the courage within themselves to seek out their own impossible dreams. She should know, for he inspired her as well.
"So that's it? You're going to give up just like that!" a gruff, masculine voice barked at the retreating form of a petite, dark haired girl.
"Who am I kidding?" the girl called over her shoulder, "my sister is the shinobi, not me. I can't keep pretending I'm something I'm not! Being a part of ANBU has always been a silly dream; I thought that maybe if I trained extra hard and never complained that maybe….It was stupid of me to even try." The girl stepped back in surprise when the gruff-voiced male appeared before her, bright blue eyes glaring determinedly into her own hazel ones.
"There will always be voices of doubt trying to stop your dreams," the blonde boy growled, "Your voice should never be one of them. Maybe your sister is the better shinobi but that doesn't matter because you are here now, not her. You got here by your own ability and smarts, not Sen's. Despite what you may think you are a great shinobi and I will not allow you to throw it all away now!" The hazel-eyed girl bristled at the heart felt words.
"Why do you even care, Naruto! This is my dream, not yours, if I want to give up then I'll give up!" A hard jab to the stomach knocked the wind from the girl, effectively silencing her. Crumpling over, she held tightly to her abdomen as she gasped desperately for breath.
"If you can easily throw away your dream like its trash then what hope do I have of my dream coming true? You are one of the few people who support my dreams, even though they are far-fetched. If you can throw away your dreams what hope do I have in mine? I won't allow you to give up on your dreams; even if I have to force you the rest of the way, you will become a part of ANBU. Now. Get. Up!"
Because of all his pushing, because of all his annoying antics, because of him she was where she was today. Standing tall before the Fifth Hokage, she eagerly accepted her intricately decorated fox mask.
"Welcome to ANBU Black Ops, Tachibana, Kokoro."
The dark haired girl was barely able to hold back a smile.
