"It's about blood bonds and priorities! You have no clue -- you and Naruto both, you have no clue what it means."
"I have a family too."
"You still have it. You don't have a clan. You don't have siblings." His voice turns quiet. "Itachi is my brother. He comes first. Whatever I feel for him or for any of you doesn't matter. He comes first. Always will."
His fists shake.
"... but if your child is mine, then -- Itachi comes second."
