Chapter One
Fear.
It had always been fear.
Fear prompted me to break the bonds between a friend and I.
Fear prompted me to chase after a boy whom everyone sought.
Fear prompted me to lose myself in vanity.
I was the embodiment of fear, and I was disgusting.
I judged without mercy and put down those who sought to be themselves.
Fear… it was everywhere.
Woke up – I feared.
Ate – I feared.
Trained – I feared.
It was such a pathetic existence.
Ultimately, fear was the major factor in the loss of both, my teammates and friends.
"I always considered myself...to be a true ninja. I said I loved Sasuke ... and I always lectured Naruto, like I was better than him. But it's all empty words."
