Perfect heroes are cool, but no one can really empathize or identify with them.

I'm just being selfish..... I'm here on my own free will... I used to always cry and give up... I nearly went the wrong way... But you... You showed me the right way... I was always chasing you... Wanting to overtake you... I just wanted to walk with you... I wanted to be with you... You changed me! Your smile saved me! So I'm not afraid to die protecting you!!! Because I - Love You.

No, you don't get it, thats why I'm telling you. You think you get it, which isn't the same as actually getting it. Get it? (Kakashi)

You have someone in your life whom you honor and revere so much that every hurt on them is inflicted on you as well. And the closer they are to you, the greater the pain.

I just want to protect them no matter how much pain befalls me.
