There was a burrow across a swamp,
So noisy that it was known for the sound.
This was the dark and dangerous place
Where the white snake could be found.
He was the symbol of rebirth,
And was known for his old age.
He was one of the few forest animals
That had spent most of their life in a cage.
During the entirety of his caged life
He had been kept next to the window pane.
He was served three rats a day and
Almost never had a reason to complain.
The was until the spring came
And all the birds started flying around.
He watched them all in envious awe
And cursed that he was stuck on the ground.
But then one day the lid was left off his box.
He took this as an opportunity to leave.
He dreamed that one day he'd take to the skies and soar.
And to this day he still believes.
Orochimaru: "A dream is a wish your heart makes."
Naruto: "This isn't 'Cinderella'.
Sasuke: "Naruto, 'you could be my Cinderella."
Sakura: "Ehh, ehh, ehh. Under my Umbrella."
