Chapter 65: Ode
He was quick as lightning when he fought.
A master of ninjutsu who perfected his craft.
A husband and father who lost his family too soon.
He gained four sons and cared for them as though they were his own.
He loved them until the very end and did all he could to teach them what he knew.
He was stern but also loving as he shared his wisdom with them.
He named them after the famous painters he admired so much.
They were all like him in their own ways.
Leonardo was a great leader and a skilled ninja.
Raphael had his temper and recklessness.
Donatello had his sharp mind and intellect.
Michelangelo had his sense of humor.
They were not his by blood, but they were still his sons.
And he was a great father who had raised four wonderful warriors and boys.
Hamato Yoshi was gone but not forgotten.
He had four sons to remind him of who he was and what he had accomplished.
And he would continue to guide them no matter where he was for he loved them so.
