Hidden (Shino)
"Secrecy is key"
People always wondered why he and the rest of his esteemed clan always covered their eyes, and the rest of them whenever practical. There were all sorts of wild theories, including that they weren't human – they always gained mistrust due to the parasites they willingly stored within their bodies – or that their eyes were nothing more than a mass of crawling insects. The real reason was far more simple, and something that so many shinobi seemed to have forgotten over the generations until only they truly remembered it. If you are to survive in this cut-throat world, secrecy is key.
