His own mother, his own clan, had been all but hunted down for their role in Kirigakure's civil war. It'd be easy enough to say that there's nothing that war leaves behind but broken families and generations of hatred -- he's living proof of such things, after all. But in the end that isn't the answer he gives. He looks up, filled with conviction.]
A dream, I think. That the future can be made into a better one.
[It is, after all, the path that someone precious has shown him.]
