"But no, this isn't about social barriers. It's about you, Hazō. You are loving. Kind. Thoughtful. And goal-oriented to the point where you can't see the world any other way. People, even yourself — especially yourself — will always be tools to accomplish your goals before they can be anything else.
"It doesn't mean you're not a good person, because I know that you care about your friends. Hell, you care about people you haven't even met. But at the end of the day, we are all resources. Our skills are your skills. Our possessions are your possessions. Our wills are only relevant when they intersect with yours. I could use a roleplaying metaphor here, but I think you already know what I mean.
"Someday soon, you, the Hokage's presumptive heir, will be giving me explicit orders, and I will obey them because I'm a loyal Leaf ninja and because I really do believe that your vision will change the world for the better.
"But I can't live my life as an extension of yours. I'm sorry. I just can't."
"Akane, I…"
But he didn't know what to say.
"You should go, Hazō. You have an event to prepare for, and I have people who need looking after."
Hazō wanted to argue, but there was a finality to her expression that rebuffed any words before he could find them.
He left.
YES.
She finally gets it.
Guys, I'm okay if you all want to try and get back with Akane now.
