(This is my first fanfic, so I would really appreciate some feedback...) "A genius, huh? What does that mean? "Genius"? So I was not born with a whole lot of natural talent, not gifted like Neji ...but I work hard and I never give up! That is my gift, that is my ninja way!" -Rock Lee "And today I realized that I am the biggest hypocrite of them all. I tell everyone to keep holding on, that there's light at the end. That everything gets better as long as you continue to wait. I always tell people to have hope. That they need to keep trying because it's too early to give up. Then there's me, and I'm barely holding on." -Hasu no Hana "Yuka"
