Why does someone have to spend three lifetimes worrying himself sick as the big brother?
And his little brothers may be adorable, but they’re not the least bit obedient.
*
The first time he became a big brother, he was born into the Warring States-era Uchiha clan, a family that revered strength. But he was born disabled and too weak to make a name for himself, so his clan treated him with contempt.
In the chaotic world of shinobi, an idealist without influence has no say in anything. Without strength to back him up, that’s a sin in itself.
Fortunately, he has two powerful younger brothers by his side through thick and thin, and he would give anything for the brothers he loves most.
[And so, when all was said and done, his eyes became eternal in his brothers’ eye sockets.]
*
The second time he became a big brother, he was in the warmhearted Senju clan, famed for its love of family, where he was branded a rare coward: coldhearted, selfish, and afraid to die.
His cold, upturned eyes see through the brutal shinobi world, where self-interest and oppression rule above all.
His clan thinks he’s a calculating egotist, but his two younger brothers believe in him unwaveringly, no matter what rumors they hear.
He’ll show them just how resolute he can be.
[He’ll give his life to make up for his mistakes!]
*
The third time he became a big brother, he was the son of the head of one of Konoha’s great clans. He had no lofty ideals and only wanted to lie flat, live off his family, and enjoy life.
He can’t outdo others in talent, and he doesn’t have it in him to work himself to the bone. He’s not the best, but he’s not the worst either. What’s wrong with choosing an easy, carefree life?
Other people’s opinions don’t matter! It’s only a little sad when his genius younger brothers call him a stupid big brother and strip him of his big-brotherly dignity, which he never had in the first place.
But never mind. As a big brother who can happily live off his family and plans to mooch off his brothers in the future, he can afford to be magnanimous and forgive them!
[Unfortunately, he couldn’t bring himself to die nobly. He fought back until the very end.]
*
In the world of shinobi, sorrow and despair are woven through every moment. Love and hate are entangled beyond measure, and fate and reincarnation go on without end.
Only the bond between brothers shines eternally, reaching beyond death as a salvation within their grasp.
It’s just that his younger brothers are all too rebellious, breaking their big brother’s heart time and again.
The big brother can’t help but sigh: It’s so hard being the big brother in the shinobi world!
No CP, brotherly bonds in Naruto, you know the vibe.
The younger brothers are Madara and Izuna, Hashirama and Tobirama, and Itachi and Sasuke.
