The Avenger That I Am

Life was full of fun and bliss,

Living in my family's loving embrace.

Striving hard to be the best,

To always excel in every test.

To surpass 'him' was my dream.

My brother, my idol,

The pride of our clan.

His likes had not been seen

Since Madara, the founder of our clan.

Sharingan at seven, ANBU at thirteen;

He was truly a genius, a unique gem.

Sadly, power so great corrupted him.

In a fit of cold, calculated insanity,

He massacred the entire clan but me.

Why he let me live, I did not then know

But one thing I can state as fact,

That he is the one who, in my heart did sow,

The seeds of vengance n hatred that before I lacked.

So it was that I formed a pact,

With my destiny and my soul,

To become the avenger that I am.
