You shake your head and approach him. You realize you've gained fame at his cost. That panging guilt stayed aflame deep inside of you somewhere. Somehow seeing him like this turned that tiny flame into a brazen fire inside of you, and you felt the need to apologize. Almost like there were people watching your every move and helping you come to this decision.
As you approach him his angry look wavers and becomes a look of fear, he's still afraid of you. Well, it's understandable, you did shatter half of his teeth and his arm. As you get closer, you notice he is almost to the point of running away from you. You decide now is the time to say something before he has the chance.
"Wait!" You shout out to him, your voice softened by sympathy, "I owe you an apology you can never truly accept. Look, what I did back then, it was wrong and I feel terrible about it. I used you to my advantage, for fame. If I have to gain fame at the expense of others, than somebody else can have it. I deserve to be hated for what I did to you. I truly am sorry."
The look on his face was utter confusion followed by shock and then was swiftly replaced by anger, "You, you broke me and shamed me in front of my friends. Even my family is ashamed of me, that I was destroyed by some ... some monger of violence like you! You don't deserve to be a ninja, I should be a ninja!"
You nod with your condolences, "You don't think I understand that? I don't deserve to be a ninja, but I am and the only course of action I can take now is redemption. I must prove my worth by becoming worthy. I never expect you to forgive me, but I'll do whatever I can to prove to you I am worthy of this headband."
The other kid looks enraged by your humility, then spits through the air in your face. "You'll never be worthy or amount to anything, get out of my face!"
