And no, I didn't "Steal" this fic from "Sandlewood996"...I've merely begun transferring all of my other fics from my "Sandlewood996" account to this one in an attempt to keep everything together and no confuse myself any further. (I have a horrible memory and trying to remember passwords for multiple accounts is a real pain.

Intent
By: Kitsanken
Everyone needed a goal in life…something to strive towards. He wasn't sure where the notion originally came from, but once it took root in his mind, he couldn't shake it and it grew. Everything he did, everything he learned, it all went towards that one, glorious moment he envisioned in his future…the day he became Hokage.
Of course he wasn't so simple minded as to believe it would be easy. If it was easy, he probably wouldn't bother in the first place. After all, even more so than becoming Hokage, the thing he desired the most was to be recognized. It may seem like such a small thing, but for him, it was the all encompassing driving need to belong and to be acknowledged by his peers that drove him forward every day.
He understood that his unorthodox methods might cause unnecessary hardship for him along the road to his ideals, but he wasn't willing to sacrifice who he truly was in order to achieve success. After all, he wanted to be accepted as he was and for who he was…which meant he had to work extra hard in order to prove himself to all those who were skeptical.
He knew he'd frustrated his sensei with is irreverent approach to his studies, but he'd persevered and proven himself despite the setbacks. Maybe he'd been unable to master Bunshin no Jutsu at first…but in the end, he'd more than proven he was capable by using Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. He wasn't certain who was more surprised…his sensei or the Hokage!
However difficult it was to master the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, it was extremely satisfying to have done so. And, it was even more satisfying to…as he liked to put it…improve on the technique. In his mind, it was pure genius to take the elements of Oiroke no Jutsu and Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, combine them and come up with Harem no Jutsu. It was diabolical…and quite effective, if he did say so himself.
All in all, his hard work had paid off, allowing him to expand on one of his personal favourite techniques…much to the consternation of more serious minded ninja from his village. It was only a matter of time, he knew, before he'd be able to eventually see his way to his ultimate goal…just as long as he remained relatively focused and intent on it.
