I don't own Naruto.
Can you feel it? Our feet pound on the pavement. We are running. We are running, and we can't stop. We won't stop. We don't know how to stop. Our feet are pounding, and so is our head. Our head is pounding now, and we do not know why.
Tress and shrubbery fly by us as we continue to run. We can run for a long time: as long as we want. For we are ninja. We have been trained in the shinobi way. So there is no stopping us.
We don't know how it got to be this way. We were just trying to do our job. We were on a mission. When on a mission, nothing is more important than completing it. Nothing is more important than the mission. This has been drilled into our mind since we were a child.
And then you had to ruin it. You had to veer us off track from the mission. We were doing fine until you just decided to completely ruin it. We were fine. And then you told us the truth. And then we weren't fine.
Why did you wait so long to tell us? And you had to choose a mission to tell us. You should know that we become unfocused when something happens. We don't comprehend things as fast as most people do. You are supposed to know that. We thought you said you could read us. And we believed you.
You told us before a fight. A very big fight. One of the most important fights we would ever have to endure. And that was when you chose to tell us. And we were shocked. We stood very still, trying to comprehend what you just confessed.
And when the attack came, we were still shocked. We couldn't get our mind wrapped around what you had just said. So we remained still. We were still during one of the most important fights of our life.
And then we heard your distant shouting. But it wasn't distant. It was right next to us. And we heard you, but we didn't understand. So we began to ask you to repeat it.
And then there you were. You were right in front of us. But something was wrong. Your back was to us. Shouldn't your pretty face be facing us instead of your back?
So we turned you around. We didn't want to talk to your back. And there you were. Your beautiful eyes closed shut. And we started to smile, but then stopped. Below your beautifully shaped face, there was a hole. A huge hole. And there was blood streaming from it. Too much blood. Too much blood for you to go on living.
We screamed. We looked up and finally saw the attackers. We were mad. We were beyond mad. How dare they hurt you? How dare they lay even one finger on you? You, the only one who ever truly loved us?
We felt our chakra burning within us. It was an all-eating fire that was rattling against its cage, dying to get out and murder every last one of them. We needed revenge. Revenge for killing you, for your breath had stopped now. They killed you, the most beautiful person we had ever laid eyes on. They killed you, the one who should've been our only true happiness in life. They took our hapiness, and we would never get it back. And then all went black.
As we woke, we found that we were running. Running without stopping. We can't stop. We will never stop. Because we need you to stay with us. Because you are everything. And the only place you are is within us now. We are one, just as you someday wanted to be. Isn't that right, Hina-chan?
