The hall is quiet save for the rustling of the wind blowing in through the opened window. The air smells of death. As it should, blood had been shed not that long ago. The presence of despair could be felt by even the youngest of children: that I was sure of.
An hour ago, or maybe two, this very hall, this very hospital, had been bustling with frantic activity. Activity meant to save lives, for the blood of many innocent civilians, and shinobi, had been spilt tonight. Blood that dried on the walls and the floor. Blood that caked my clothes and hands, blood from a frantic action to stop the arrival of death.
Blood that will no longer flow. Bright red blood; now black as the night that engulfs this land.
Death came early for many tonight, innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire of the internal struggle of one famous shinobi, an internal struggle brought out for all to see. A struggle that just escalated beyond anyone's worst nightmares and now that silver-haired shinobi has more deaths to add to his conscious; more blood to soak his hands.
And he will never be forced to pay, he will never be punished. For he is Hatake Kakashi, the famous Copy-Nin; the one shinobi that Konoha cannot function without. The one who has given up more than anyone else for this village; he's lost his family, his friends, his childhood, his sanity, and whatever resemblance of a life that he might've been able to have.
He's lost himself, he lost himself years ago. He is, by my account, the only shinobi that has ever managed to live past two years after losing their desire to live. He lost his desire when he was fourteen and still he keeps on fighting, keeps on killing, keeps on serving this village. And what for? To regain the honor his father lost? To try and be perfect?
The one shinobi who has never failed a mission is the one shinobi that will never meet his own standards. Who will try again and again and in his own mind he will always fail.
It almost makes me feel like forgiving the guy for what he's done.
Almost.
