[Naruto] Can the Earth Keep Spinning Without Shisui? We’re Just Barely Holding On!

Uchiha Xingfeng, just as his name suggests, is Shisui Uchiha's younger brother.

With a solid family background and a capable older brother, Xingfeng originally thought there was nothing left for him to work toward: live off his brother and laze around until old age. Everyone would be better off that way.

Who knew that perhaps the heavens couldn't stand his carefree attitude, because Shisui died.

Xingfeng was devastated. In a moment of agitation, his Sharingan evolved into a Mangekyō Sharingan.

Unfortunately, this Mangekyō Sharingan was just as lazy and laid-back as its owner. Aside from improving his eyesight, it was completely useless, until one day Xingfeng died too.

The Mangekyō Sharingan told him: I'll give you another chance.

Fine, the Konoha ANBU benefits are pretty good, actually.

Unfortunately, Xingfeng isn't especially talented. He tries again, and his brother dies again.

Then I'll give you another chance.

...Actually, Root has pretty good benefits, too.

...Actually, the Konoha Military Police Force suits him just fine.

...Actually, becoming a rogue ninja isn't out of the question.

...Actually, going to another village would be fine, too.

Actually...

Actually...

As corpses fill his vision at the moment of death, Xingfeng can barely keep count of how many times he's died and how many chances to start over the Mangekyō Sharingan has given him.

The more times he dies, the more he sees, and the more things he wants to save. There are simply too many problems to deal with. Solve one, and another springs up. If this keeps up, will he ever get the chance to live to a ripe old age alongside his brother?

Xingfeng, who has lost track of how old he is, hugs his long-neglected sword and sits in the pouring rain of the Land of Rain, silently wondering what Shisui is doing right now.

Is he eating? Chatting with someone? Tired from a mission? Is anyone giving him a hard time?

Thinking about it makes Xingfeng feel like he can keep going, keep drifting between life and death.

If ten tries aren't enough, then a hundred. If a hundred aren't enough, then a thousand. A genius like him, who can reverse time, was born to do anything he sets his mind to.

This story is also known as Uchiha Brother-Con: An Absolutely Glorious Nth Loop!

Xingfeng's Sharingan ability is ridiculously overpowered and lets him rewind time infinitely. In exchange, he's less talented than an ordinary Uchiha. His Sharingan has no other abilities and cannot evolve further. So he generally focuses on taijutsu (he's a real gorilla of a male lead).

At first, he's a laid-back slacker. After his brother dies, he turns into a mad little widow (what?).

This story has no CP, but the author will secretly ship Xingfeng and Shisui ().

Theme: Uchiha brother-con and brother-protecting devotion are no joke.
