Pure Heart : Haku

Advanced Bloodiline is a powerful trait one possess. Sometimes, it can be very helpful and useful. Nevertheless it can be the opposite, evil and scary. People in Konoha now believes that it is one thing to be able to get rid of some of the people who possesses an Advanced Bloodline. What do they do? They kill them.

But it is not a sin to inherit an Advanced Bloodline. When you have it, you take the responsibility for it. It does not mean that when you have it, automatically it will be used for not-so-good thoughts. They judge your skin so much more than what you really got inside.

Haku who is so kind and gentle has been gifted with an Advanced Bloodline from his mother from the country of mist. It is the 'Mastery of Water and Ice'.

Unfortunately, people began to hunt and kill people with this kind of power. When Haku's father learned that his mother inherited this kind of bloodline, he killed her. Furthermore, he tried to kill Haku as well. He tried, but Haku just have to protect himself. Because of this, he killed his father.

It was his father's fault.
He must not panic in this kind of situation. He must learn to protect his wife and son from the people who hunts them. Knowing the fact that they will be killed only if the people know their secret. His father has done a wrong move.

Resulting to this, Haku fled away from the village all by himself.

Along his journey, he met Zabuza.
"You have the same eyes as mine" as Haku said to him. Zabuza saw that Haku was a boy who has an Advanced Bloodline. He thought it would be easier for him if he carries him along.

From then on, the two journey together.

Haku let himself to be a tool of Zabuza.
He did whatever Zabuza commanded him to do. But, Haku is not doing this just because it was assigned for him to do. He is doing this because Zabuza is his friend. His precious thing.

"When a person has something precious to protect, that is when they can become truly strong."

Haku considers Zabuza a precious thing to protect. In this case, he does anything for him.

Now tell me, would you consider a man like this, who offers his life to you without any hesitations or complaints.. just a tool?
A man who has undergone many sacrifices, hardships, loneliness and abandonment, just a tool?

Maybe Zabuza considered him as one.
But even though he did that, he still was Haku's friend! He did anything! Everything! He was not against Zabuza's plans.

He orders, he follows.

He does not mean to kill.
His purpose was to protect. He does things for his loved one. And he does it without any complaints. He does this things as a sign of thanks. He was not forced. He was not obliged. He did it for himself. To be strong. To know life. He was not a tool. He was a friend.

A loyal friend.

That is why, I liked Haku.
He owns this very strong personality. I hope he just became a ninja of Konoha and did not die T_T
The story might be more fun with him around.
I can imagine 'Naruto' with a lot of lessons to be learned about life if he was alive. I really loved the episodes where Haku was there. It maybe brutal, but still, the plot was amazing. And he himself was so cool. His story made me cry.. T_T

hehe..

Well.

Just remember.
He is NO tool.

Let's just say...
He's a friend you can always trust! ;)

(( the following are some quotes i got from the Haku FL, [click the image above]))

Old habits die hard and it was also useful for my monkey pantomime routine... -Haku

You are so innocent, so guileless...no doubt, it's why I like you. - Zabuza

But...but you look so strong and manly already! - Haku to Naruto

When people are protecting something truly precious to them, they truly can become as strong as they must be! - Haku

You will get stronger. I know we'll meet again so...you should know...I'm a boy. - Haku

No way! He's...he's even girlier than Sakura! - Naruto

.I...can see myself in your eyes. We have the same expression! - Haku to Zabuza

I have my own dreams as you have yours...Please try not to resent me, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to protect the one I care about most...To fight, kill, or die to fulfill that person's dreams. Doing so is my own dream. To that end, I will become a true shinobi and I shall kill you both. - Haku

Often people have it wrong, mistakenly believing that showing mercy to an enemy is kindness. They spare the foe whose life is in their hands. But don't you see? It's an empty existence to go on living...alone and unloved...when defeat's already cost you your dream!. - Haku

Once...I was precious. I belonged...to...my parents. - Haku

I am your weapon and your tool. Keep me beside you, and I'll strike where you tell me to strike, kill whom you tell me to kill. - Haku to Zabuza

and

He was a pure spirit - as true and clean as a newly fallen snow... - Kakashi
