Silently There

By AngeloftheOdd

No emotion. No compassion. No turning back. The true test of a shinobi is to block out all that is human. To become the perfect killer. To rely on nothing but instinct and self-preservation. Make your targets faceless, nameless shadows to be dispatched. The only mercy shown: a quick death.

No clan. No mother. No father. No village.

Just the goal.

I was exceptional. Successful beyond all expectation. My will of fire burned so strong it became as the light of the sun. It scorched me to the core and blinded me with its radiance. But even with all the blood on my hands, I failed to exterminate that which was most precious to me. My final hope at restoring us to our former glory. The only one who could avenge all my sins. The sins of the Uchiha clan.

Despise me. Let your hatred be your strength. Let your veins boil over with the rage of what was taken from you. Make me a monster in your eyes. A dragon for the valiant hero to slay.

I will let the rain hide my tears so that you will never know the truth. Each chime of the bells will be a constant death knell for me. The crows will be my only true companions, the heralds of your coming storm.

I will always be watching over you. Silently there. My little brother. My light.
