Top Secret: ANBU Mission Logs
Chapter Eleven
There are two types of people in ANBU – those who know why they're fighting, and those who don't.
The ones who are there for a reason – usually because they're protecting something – they live. They go home, take off the mask when the mission is over, and the reason that they cling to so desperately allows them to survive, to cope, with what being an ANBU means.
Those who don't know why they're fighting, they die. All of them, one way or another, be it their minds or their bodies, they die. It's too much for them – they can't handle it.
After all, if you're going to willingly sacrifice your life, you want to know why, right?
Some of them may get out quick enough. Escape with their health and their sanity, but even then – they're never the same.
When I joined ANBU, it was because I had nothing to lose but my life. Now, though, I have my team.
Now I have a reason to fight.
I just hope it's not too late.
