I've never been religious. The only thing I used to believe in was the rules. And I realized the hard way that I was wrong for prioritizing them over the lives of my comrades.
Now I pray to the people who made a difference in my life, not the gods who didn't.
( heroes like the sandaime hokage. like his father. like minato and kushina. like rin.
like obito.
they all died to protect the ones they loved. sacrifices, though regrettable, that taught men like him that their lives were important. if they can burn so brilliantly still, maybe he can, too, even if his light flickers and is turbid. the will of fire can never truly be extinguished. )
You already know my answer, Sasuke. The day I acknowledged you, Naruto, and Sakura as shinobi, you paid attention to what I had to say about teamwork and applied it. Because a part of you knew that it was the most important lesson I could teach you if I managed to teach you anything at all.
I honour those who honour their friends and disregard those who disregard them.
