Another stupid curse.

...

I was a failed weapon. After Yashamaru, my father sent one assassin after another for years.

They never stood a chance.

... But

Naruto should have killed me.

Is that it? Esther, when are you free for dinner?

A weapon?

[sandmullet]

Ninjas are tools of the village; that's how it was. I was born to be a weapon.

[fingerbanging]

Born to kill.

[sandmullet]

Yeah.

I couldn't control it well then.

[fingerbanging]

The fault does not lie with you, then.

[sandmullet]

That was irrelevant.

[fingerbanging]

No... it is. You just don't see.

[sandmullet]

It wasn't relevant to them.

[fingerbanging]

Your... village? Were they family?

1/2ish

[sandmullet]

Family?

[sandmullet]

My father was the Kazekage, the leader. He ordered my creation, and my assassination. I killed my mother in birth. My siblings were just lumps of meat...

[sandmullet]

But it's different now.

[fingerbanging]

You, too...

[fingerbanging]

The present... is important, isn't it.

[sandmullet]

It can be changed. It's what matters.

[fingerbanging]

What of atonement?
