I'm Sorry...

I took you in as a

Small child; You were

Alone, feared, hated

Unwanted...

'A kid like you will not

Be needed by anyone

And die a beggar,' I said

years ago, on that bridge

'You have the same eyes

As me,' came the reply,

This young child with an

Awesome power inside

'Do you want to be needed

By someone?' A simple

Question...'Can you give

Everything to me?'

A nod of the head and that

Power was mine, in the

Form of this boy, pure as

The snow I found him in

Now, I have finished my

Final mission...I can see

Him, lying on the ground

As cold as the snow...

He was too kind...

A shinobi is still human...

We may not be able to become

Emotionless tools...

Haku...My body has reached...

It's limits...This is goodbye,

Haku...Thank you for everything...

I'm sorry...

Snow..gentle, pure...Haku...

Are you crying? You have always

Been at my side...I'd like to be

At your side in the end...

If I could...I'd like to...go to

The same place...as you...

A single tear from your eye...

Haku, I'm sorry...
