The Lost Art of War

The Lost Art of War

By Sasori and Shiro Hikage

Prologue: The Orphan

Orphaned at a young age and shunned by an entire village, I would have never believed you if you told me that one day I would be cherished. I would have never believed you if I was told that two would risk everything for one insignificant little girl. I wouldn’t have believed you, and I would have been wrong.

I have learned several things from this story, courage, love, and determination.

Though my parents and I were not related by blood, they taught me that ties of the blood were superfluous when compared to bonds of the heart. Once a poor orphan girl, they will never know how much their love meant to me; to me they were the greatest parents that ever lived.

This is their story.
