This Naruto fan fiction follows the journey of Ryu, who has died and been reincarnated as Sakura Haruno's older brother. His love interest will be Hana Inuzuka, and he will share the same age as Itachi. Ryu won't have access to any kind of system; instead, he will rely solely on his own strength and abilities to navigate the perilous world around him. I plan to extend this story all the way to the Boruto era. The novel will not feature a harem, and Ryu won't start off as an exceptionally strong character; rather, he will gradually build his power over time. He won't be facing off against Kage-level opponents right away.
Before diving into this project, I've read numerous fan fics and noticed a common disdain for figures like Hiruzen, Danzo, and other elders of Konoha. While I don't necessarily endorse their actions, I aim to approach this differently. As the story unfolds, Ryu will slowly uncover the corruption among the elders and take it upon himself to address the issues he discovers.
