Author's Notes: I've already wondered what being a missing-nin would be like...so this is my exploration of it.

The Missing-Nin's Way

I can truly see

Why some ninja decide

To take the path of the missing-nin

You obtain true freedom

Freedom from the Hokage

Freedom from rules

Freedom from everyone

You only live for one's own soul

No person else

But, I can also see

That it is a hard existence

A painful and difficult one

For a person to live

Hunter-nins always following you

Traps all along the cruel way

No room for error

Ever

It is a lonely life

This way the missing-nin must follow

But the question is

Is it a choice for me to consider?
