Shikamaru believed love was troublesome. And it probably didn't exist either. Just look at what had happened to his dad.

"I married her because she has a gentle side."


Ino believed love was waiting just out of her grasp. After all, just because her dad failed didn't mean that she would too.

"Do you love mommy?" "Now why would you ask that Ino-chan?"


Chouji believed that if love came, it would probably be for either Ino or Shikamaru. He wasn't blind. Just because his dad succeeded didn't mean he would too.

"Even your old man found love Chouji!"


Kiba doesn't believe that love should exist. You should be able to screw how ever many people without the excess emotional baggage. After all, that's what his mom did.

"Are you sure me and Hana-nee-san aren't half-siblings?" "I'm not too sure actually."


Shino doesn't believe that love has anything to do with the cycle of life. People are born, they reproduce, they die. It's as simple as that.

"The life cycle of bugs is simple and complex. They live, breed and die. It is our job to make it easier for them."


Hinata doesn't believe that her love will ever be reciprocated. The man she admires probably doesn't know she exists. Her mother was a perfect example.

"Daddy's working late today sweetheart." "But isn't it your anniversary today?"


Sasuke knows that love is fickle. Anyone with half a brain would know that. It's not just his brother. His parents were burned into his mind.

"Daddy, why is mommy sad?" "I wouldn't know. Now go to bed Sasuke." His dad never went to check on her.


Sakura knows that love is bittersweet. The longing is painful and the embrace is heaven. Her love wasn't it. It was her parents that she thought of.

"Oh dear, I forgot to buy the flour for the anniversary cake." He didn't come home that day, but he did buy the flour.


Naruto knows that love is everywhere. He just doesn't think he belongs to it. It was his parents that taught him that lesson.

"Who were my parents?" "They were brave shinobi" "Did they love me?" The Hokage never answered.


Team Ten Believes, Team Eight Doesn't believe, Team Seven Knows.

And that is what made them Legendary.

...even if they were a bit broken on the inside.
