"All of us are either users, or tools...or both."

Is that all?

Is that all I ever really meant to you?

You told me from the beginning that I was your tool. You said that shinobi were meant to be used as tools.

I know how much I owe you.

I know that I'm indebted you.

But, really…

I thought…that you actually did care.

Have you always been emotionless?

Haven't I earned your respect? Your love?

You know I would, and I have, put myself on the line for you.

As you have for me.

But do you still only consider me your tool?

And as I lay here suffering, will you come to ease my pain?

You don't seem to want to.

And now, I must accept that.
