The manga says he refers to him as "Brother" but does anyone know specifically which honorific he uses?

I do not see him using O-nii or Nii for the simple fact that he is too mature and doesn't seem to look up to him.
I would assume he uses either Aniki, Ani or maybe Oto. Also, does he use -san, -sama or none?

I think it would reveal a lot about his relationship with Hashirama so I was wondering if anyone knows, I'll rep if you do know and provide a source/reason.

(To Sasuke) "My brother believed that the village was was something that demolish the boundaries between clans. Well in the end it wasn't that simple… My brother was too soft… and Madara too dangerous… My role as Second Hokage was to mediate between them while protecting and reinforcing the village."

Here you go he only uses ``my brother`` in terms of honoring him but still being the older one so no chan or sempai or kun

I don't even think he uses one. I think all he says is Brother in the translations.
There are several ways to say brother and it's important which he uses.
It's due to Tobirama's formal tendinchy of speech.
Eh?
Not really my question.
I'll have a look through the raw.
Thanks.
And heads up, your SIG is probably too big.

What I'm looking for is not in the English version but thanks for trying.

Tobes looks down on hashirama's naivete therefore he doesn't use honorifics. Hashi is just too carefree to demand respect anyway so he gets away with it.

+ rep please.

I'm looking for which specific word for brother he uses... as long as it isn't his name, it's an honorific I think. I don't know much about Japanese so I could be wrong but I'm looking for the word like onii.

Edit: IDK if honorific was the correct term but I'm on my phone and can't really look it up ATM.
What I'm looking for is in the raw, I could look myself but I don't know anything about Japanese so I wanted to know from someone who does or someone knows a reliable source for this.

Then you should get a Japanese dictionary and dig some raw scans up.
