Once upon a time, there was a boy with no one. He had no home, no family and no purpose. Once upon a time that boy was close to death.

Until…

That day a man gave a purpose, to live, to protect, to serve. The boy loved the man. That boy died for him.

It was so cold, so cold. Death was indeed a frightful thing. I have no regrets. My master…Zabuza is alive. That is all that matters to me. But as I left my world, I felt a hand grab my shoulder.

I turned and saw the man I gave my life for. He had a smile on his face and his skin was warm. This is what I wanted. To spend eternity with my master, my friend, my…my Zabuza. This is what I truly desired.
