Chapter Forty-Seven: Perfection

Perfection, Hinata knew, was an impossibility. Her cousin had constantly sought it, as so many shinobi did, including herself, but no matter how much you worked, no matter how dedicated you were, perfection was an unobtainable goal.

That didn't mean that you shouldn't strive for it. People who had the will of fire had determination to keep on improving, and going farther than anyone to protect what was important. Rather it meant that you should never let the pursuit of perfection get in the way of real happiness.

She wondered about it sometimes, and she was glad Sasuke wasn't perfect.
