   Summary

   Of all the ninja villages in the elemental nations, Konoha treats its ninja the best. Community and respect form the basis of Konoha's culture. The privileged few who form the military backbone of Fire Country are afforded rights and treatment unmatched anywhere else. They are given training, resources, and support that most other ninja can only dream of. Konoha is, without a doubt, the best place to be born into the elemental nations.

   Unless you are born to the Hyuuga branch family.

   Premise: The main character is a person from our world familiar with Naruto lore reincarnated as Neji's identical twin. The butterfly effect is in full force.

   Focus: Interpersonal and familial relationships, with a heavy emphasis on the power of loving relationships to help one survive abusive situations, mental illness, and physical trauma. Most of the story is about character's connections to one another and how those relate to surviving life as part of the branch family.

   Content Warnings: The story delves deeply into abusive traumas and crippling injuries. Individual chapters have relevant warnings. Graphic sexual violence will *not* be a part of this story though, and is only referenced abstractly.
