Haku's account
Final
I… was wrong. As I lie here, in bed I have had a lot to think about. And I must admit my initial impression was wrong, the Fire ninja are not ignoble. They have helped us, treated my wounds when I should have died, and even offered us a permanent home. Soon Zabuza will be the head of the village. The bridge builder is not happy about that, he does not like the idea of violence, and Zabuza had killed his workers, but the leader of the nin, Kakashi talked to him. Telling him that they could not always be there, and who would save them next time. Zabuza will be watched by Leaf. I know, because the walls are thin and their voices loud, they thought I was asleep. I am angry that they do not trust Zabuza, but I cannot blame them.
I myself have not recovered, and their medic tells me I will not be at full strength of months. They offered to take me to Konoha, but I begged them to let me stay. Even, disabled I think I can be of use to Zabuza. Establishing a village is a lot of work. He will need someone to help him, someone who can train others in chakra control, know who to let in and help with paper work. Lord Zabuza claimed that was the only downside.
I have been doing some thinking. One thing I forgot about nobles is the duty they have to those under them. A servant's duty is to obey their Lord, but the Lord also has a duty to the servant. A man cannot have two lords, but can have many servants. Naruto considers himself to have a duty to every single person, and I wonder what does that make him?
I have decided to end this account, for I believe that this chapter of my life is over. It is the dawning of a new one, for the first time since my power manifest I will finally have a home.
