BloodyCrystal: Okay, so this one's a lot longer than usual, but only 'cause I couldn't fit what I wanted to say about him into 150 words. The quote at the end was written by someone else (I don't know who), so I don't own that, either.
Hero
A hero is known for his rise, his shining peak…and his inevitable fall from glory. But there is so much more than that to every hero who will be, has been, and is. And he was no exception.
His deeds and job overshadowed everything else about him. His wife was all but unknown, shunted into the shadows. Most even seemed to forget that he was married, and with a child coming soon. His wife had not been the least of her clan, but then she was far from being the greatest.
He loved the people of Konoha, every one of them, and that was why he was going to protect them, no matter what.
When he heard of the demon fox, he prepared his village for battle. And when his shinobi returned beaten, injured, dead, he recalled his promise to protect Konoha no matter what. He left his wife in a difficult labor, hoping, praying, she would understand why he did what he was going to do. He passed Kakashi, the only member of his team left alive from the war, and silently apologized for leaving the boy alone once again.
But he never looked back from his chosen fate. And when he died, he died smiling.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
