They cannot know.

No one can know.

I am no longer Saori, I am Takeo. 

I have trained my entire life for the mission, to achieve victory at all costs, and to ensure the safety of those in positions that cannot ensure it themselves. With my village under the threat of siege and plunder, I have to move forward. The time for mourning is a luxury I cannot afford. Not when destiny calls me elsewhere.

Takeo is dead, but I am not. Takeo would not have given up. Takeo would have wanted me to keep moving. He shed blood for the innocent. His final breath was spent wishing for peace. How will I follow in his selfless footsteps?

The fear I have witnessed in the eyes of my enemies is not something I have ever taken lightly. Let that be my great motivator. Edo asked for a shinobi of great skill, and it is a shinobi of great skill that they will receive.

I am no longer Saori. 

I am Takeo.
