Author's Note: Originally, I had posted the second part featuring Gaara, Rock Lee, and Hinata. But I wrote about their subordinates too, so I split them up according to their three-man teams. The pieces go in no official order.
"Rock Lee"
They told me I could never be
But I never believed them...
Bandages hide hands that are scarred
Hide the moments of perseverance
I have nothing to lose, nothing to protect
But my mind, heart, and soul
United together all for that light
To prove them wrong
Envy fills my heart
My hard work easily undone
By the work of an eye
Dreams stolen, esteem dead
But I'll continue to run
Someday my worn feet will carry me
Past these hardships high into the sky
"Hyuuga Neji"
Sullen and keen white-eyes
Cold bitter fury trapped inside me
Foreordained to inferiority
I scream at cruel fate
Resent the curse bestowed on me
Fighting to prove my worth
When I already know it's worthless to
You cannot fight destiny
I sneer at the weak successor
Abhor the brother of my father
Scoff at my hotheaded comrade
Respect the genius's potency
And refuse to believe the loner
Until I felt the blow of his fist
That fate all along was in my hands
"Tenten"
A myriad of weapons at my bidding
Skillful and stealthy as the shadowing leaf
I fight along side two great boys
Although they stand out more
My worth is just as valuable
But attention is not what I crave
And while timid I certainly am not
Peace and quiet is what I prefer
I am a maternal presence
The steady and levelheaded counterpart
The calming water to complement
The determined fire and the bitter wind
A small part I play in this turbulent time
But I am here nonetheless
And there's more to me than you think
