Preface
I had never given much thought as to how I would die. But, dying in the place of someone I love, seems like a good way to go. You could go as far as to say noble even. I knew that if I had never gone to Konoha in the first place, I would not be looking Death in the face. Yet, I can't bring myself to regret the decisions that brought me here. They also brought me to him. When life throws you a dream so beyond any expectations you ever had for yourself, its best not to grieve for them when it comes to an end. The hunter in front of me closed the gap even further, and I closed my eyes, and waited for the final strike.
