Naruto: Forgotten Son, Eternal Flame
Born of heroes, yet forged in suffering.
From the union of two of the greatest shinobi came three children. The youngest, consumed by arrogance, basked in the rot of unearned privilege. The second, cherished and protected, grew under the warmth of love. But the firstborn...
Neglected. Abused. Abandoned. Forgotten by the world that should have cared, he was deemed worthless-a weak, pathetic shadow unfit to stand among his kin. Starved of affection, betrayed by those he trusted, and cast aside as an unwanted burden, his soul was ground into dust. Despair became his constant companion, and the only escape he saw was oblivion.
But the galaxy is vast and its plans unknowable. Just as the abyss threatened to claim him, he was found-called forth by a being of unimaginable power. Perhaps a weapon, perhaps a tool, he was offered a chance to stand, not as a forgotten soul but as something greater.
Now, in the service of a new master, he seeks not redemption, but recognition. To prove that even a broken life can have worth. Yet, in the grim darkness of the far future, where there is only war, such desires may come at a terrible cost.
