Shikamaru the Shadow of Loss
Born with a shadow of peace.
He befriends the deer of Nara forest.
He calms the raging boar.
He believes in the loyalty of the canine .
He evokes in the mischief of the fox.
Blowing through life as though a leaf in the wind,
Not indulging in the difficulties of labor,
But talking task of mentality with drifting ease.
He lives life as a cloud in the sky,
But all clouds create an overcast,
And darkness grows over the ground.
With the silhouette of death,
Comes a shadow filled with sorrow.
Grief covering the heart with a shadow of misery
Enabling his jutsu to overflow with power.
A strength only achieved through the pain of loss.
A power filled with the color of suffering.
Webs of black that entraps its enemies
Suffocating the trapped with hands of anguish.
The ability to stab foes to remorse.
The intelligence and capacity to defeat his opponents
Into the shadows of purgatory.
