My Name is Hikari, Last light of the Uchiha clan
-
My name is Hikari Uchiha, and I am the last Uchiha alive… I am also a bastard.
I find no shame in that. It is what I am, and I have learned to accept it.
I used to feel badly when other kids teased me about it.
But now I don't care, and they're too scared to hurt me.
I've learned to be tough, how to live and be strong.
That is what is required, for one to survive as a ninja.
My uncle Neji used to tell me that to be a good shinobi,
I must learn to hide my emotions. However, at one point,
he also told me that I should never refuse to show my mother
that I love her, and that I should respect her for
she has sacrificed much for my sake.
-
Sometimes I don't know what to believe. Life has too many shoulds and shouldn'ts.
Ultimately it is up to each individual to follow the path he or she chooses.
These choices are ultimately what determine our destinies. We live each day
walking along the path, never knowing what will happen next.
But in the end there will always be at least two choices, to live or to die.
I've promised my mother that I would always choose to live.
I've also promised this to myself, and it is a promise that I do not plan to break.
-
On the day of graduation from the academy I had a talk with the Hokage.
He told me what happened between my mother and father.
My father had betrayed this village long ago, but in the end
died to keep Oroochimaru from destroying it. I promised him
that I would never betray the village and that I would die in order to protect it,
just as my father and mother before me. Such would be the only reason
I would ever choose death over life
instead of life over death.
-
Some people don't like me because I'm a bastard.
Some people don't trust me because my father 'betrayed the village',
and despite his ultimate sacrifice there are still people who resent him.
There are also people who don't like me because of my quick temper,
or my overly healthy appetite. But those people are the people I call friends,
because they see me for who I am
and not what I am.
-
I no longer mind when other people call me names, if that is in fact what I am.
If there's no denying it, then what's the point? And since there's nothing I can do to change it...
I've learned to live with my past and my background,
but I won't accept being judged for things that are not under my control.
I have my occasional flaws, but so long as I attempt to correct them every once in a while,
it's okay, and sometimes I even enjoy them.
But ultimately I accept them as part of my personality and therefore a part of me… natural, in a way.
I will remain fully responsible for the consequences of my own actions, and never the actions of others.
I will stand proudly, because I am the last Uchiha heir. I will always strive for my dream
to be the strongest female ninja in Konoha, and maybe even the world.
-
And thus is how I will live my life to the fullest of its potential, ignoring all insults behind my back
by people who don't even know me…except maybe the occasional kunai or two if they get really insulting.
I will learn to be the best kunoichi that I can, accepting who and what I am, accepting my fate created
by my own decisions in life.
I will never give up, I will never back down, and if I should fall I shall always get back up again.
For in the end, as uncle Naruto would say, "that is my ninja way".
