The viewing room was still emotional from Kyo's collapse; everyone was eager to know his condition after the devastating fight with Gaara.
"Please tell me he's okay," Yuri whispered, gripping Ryo's hand tightly.
"After that much blood loss and pushing Super Saiyan," Tsunade said with medical concern, "he needs the best treatment possible."
---
Days later, Kyo loses his match and is rushed to the hospital for immediate medical treatment. Lucky, the best doctor in the world, is there to treat poor young Saiyan.
"Tsunade's treating him," the real Tsunade said with professional satisfaction. "Good."
"The best medical care possible," Sakura noted with relief.
Kyo has an open old wound, and he pushed his body to its limit, causing blood loss.
"The stomach wound from fighting Orochi," Yuri noted with maternal worry. "It reopened."
"Fighting with internal injuries," Ryo said grimly. "Stubborn boy."
Now, in Kyo's room, Tsunade finished her treatment today. Kyo heals much faster than before because of the treatment.
"Saiyan healing factor plus medical ninjutsu," Tsunade observed with professional interest.
Suddenly, Kyo's hospital room window opened. As Tsunade looked at the window, she saw Jirayu step in.
"Window entry," Anko noted with amusement. "Classic ninja approach."
"Why are you here?" Tsunade asks the white-haired woman while she continues the treatment.
"I just want to see how he's doing. So how is he?" Jirayu asks back.
"Jirayu's concerned about him," Jiraiya noted with understanding.
Tsunade shook her head and said. "Not good, he should be dead from his state right now, but his body can heal faster than ordinary people. Did you ask Sensei about who he is? What is his original clan?"
"She's investigating his identity," Hiruzen observed.
"They suspect he's not just a normal Uchiha," Shikamaru noted analytically.
"I did... but this information is gonna have so many questions unresolved."
"What do you mean?" Tsunade asks.
"Here comes the revelation," multiple voices said with anticipation.
Jirayu starts to explain to Tsunade what the Hokage told her. After about 6 minutes of explanation, Tsunade has a slightly shocked expiration on her face.
"Six minutes of explanation," Kakashi noted. "That's comprehensive."
"So you're saying that the powerful chakra two months ago is the person who is the same race as him?"
"They're connecting Kyo to Asura," Gaara realized grimly.
"That's what Sensei said," Jirayu replies as she looks at Kyo. "I can't believe our beloved reincarnation into a non-human race." Jirayu continues. "But he looks human to me... don't you think, Tsunade?"
The room went dead silent.
"Beloved," multiple voices repeated in shock.
"REINCARNATION!" Hiruzen exclaimed with amazement.
"Our beloved?" Kushina questioned with growing understanding.
"How can you say him, our beloved reincarnation?" Tsunade wants to deny it, but she hopes Kyo is Kenshi deep down in her heart, and she continues. "Everything with him is just a coincidence that he looks like him."
"She's in denial," Yuri observed softly.
"But she hopes it's true," Ryo added with understanding.
"Tsunade, I know how you felt, but look at him. He has the same trait, the same face, and even the same eyes! As far as I know, Kenshi is the only Uchiha who has Gray eyes and Blue Sharingan! The only thing he lacks is his memories... for us..." Jirayu said sadly and had tears in her eyes.
"Gray eyes," Fugaku noted with realization. "That's incredibly rare for Uchiha."
"Blue Sharingan from his Ki energy mixing with the transplanted eye," Ryo explained.
"Memories for them," Kushina said with growing emotion.
Tsunade pauses her treatment to calm herself from sadness. In her heart, she is wondering why she can't move on with Kenshi's death; maybe she still loved him even after his death two decades ago, and she believes Jirayu also felt the same, maybe Orochimaru.
The room fell into stunned silence as the implications hit them.
"Still loved him," Jiraiya said quietly. "After 25 years."
"All three of them," Orochimaru noted with complex emotions. "The entire team."
"That's why they broke up after his death," Hiruzen realized with sadness.
"T-Tsuna-Hime? Jira-Chan?"
Everyone's attention snapped to the screen.
"He's awake," Yuri said with relief.
Both of the women's eyes were wide open, and they looked at each other and looked down at Kyo; they saw the young Saiyan's eyes were half-open, and Kyo continued to talk. "D-Did I tell you that I'll be back from the dead..... for you three....."
"THOSE NICKNAMES!" Multiple voices screamed.
"Tsuna-Hime, Jira-Chan," Tsunade repeated with growing emotion. "Only Kenshi called us that."
"He remembers," Jiraiya said with amazement.
"K-Kenshi?" Both of the women said at the same time.
The room was electric with anticipation.

•Flashback•
For days, Kyo floats in a dark space, unconscious. But suddenly, everything turns to bright light space.
"Spiritual space," Hiruzen noted with interest.
Kyo slowly regains consciousness, seeing everything bathed in bright light. "W-Where am I?"
"Hi, me."
Kyo turned his head to the voice that came from and saw a person who looked like him but was older and had longer hair.
"It's Kenshi!" Multiple voices exclaimed.
"Me? Wait! You are Kenshi! from my memories!" Kyo said to Kenshi.
"Our Memories, actually..." Kenshi replies while smiling sheepishly.
"Our?"
"Yes, Kyo, you are me, and I'm you, do you understand?" Kenshi said as he crossed his arms to his chest.
The viewing room was in stunned silence, trying to process this revelation.
"Same soul," Yuri whispered with amazement.
"Literally the same person," Ryo added with awe.
Kyo's hand was under his chin, and for a couple of minutes, he said. "No... I didn't understand." Kenshi is down on the ground in an anime style.
The room erupted in laughter despite the serious moment.
"Classic Kyo," Naruto said with amusement. "Dense even with himself."
"You took 2 minutes to think and still didn't understand?" Kenshi knew this was coming. His younger self is as dumb as he expected; he sighed and said, "This is gonna be a long explanation."
"He knows himself too well," Sasuke said with amusement.
After 10 minutes of explanation, Kyo finally understands, maybe.
"Maybe," multiple voices repeated with laughter.
"So you tell me we are one soul with two memories?" Kyo asks as Kenshi nods.
"One soul, two lifetimes," Hiruzen said with philosophical interest.
"What's gonna happen with you when all of your memories come back to me?" Kyo asks again.
"We're gonna be one because I'm just the fragment of our memories," Kenshi replied.
"Memory integration," Shikamaru noted analytically.
"I see... so Tsunade, Jirayu, and Orochi are our lovers or something? Because they often appear in my dreams." Kyo asks, and Kenshi nods.
The room exploded.
"ALL THREE!" Multiple voices screamed.
"He was involved with all three Sannin!" Jiraiya said with amazement.
"That explains so much about their dynamics," Hiruzen noted with understanding.
"Yes, they are..." Kenshi said with a smile. "But." He lightly punches Kyo in the chest. "You seem to have more girls chasing our ass, hahaha."
"More girls," Ino said with competitive interest.
"The harem grows," Anko noted with amusement.
"More girls? As far as I know, Asuka-Chan is the only one who said she loves me." Kyo answered as Kenshi sighed and facepalmed.
"HE'S STILL DENSE!" Multiple voices screamed in frustration.
"Naruko, Satsuki, Ino, Hinata, Sakura, and so many more..." Kushina counted on her fingers. "He's completely oblivious."
'Why was I always this dense when I was younger...' Kenshi sighed as he continued, "Anyways, Tsuna-Hime is healing our body right now, and Jira-Chan is also there; maybe you can tell them both that you are me... they are waiting long enough... 25 years is a hella long time. Can you do it?" Kenshi asks.
"25 years of waiting," Tsunade said with deep emotion.
"He wants to ease their pain," Yuri noted with maternal understanding.
Kyo chuckled as he said. "You are me. So you already know the answers are." Kenshi also chuckles the same way as Kyo.
"Identical mannerisms," Minato noted with interest.
Of course, Kyo's gonna agree with Kenshi; he can't let anyone he loves suffer because of him.
"Always protecting others' feelings," Kushina observed warmly.
"Thank you... and because we are not Chakra users no more, even with only one Sharingan, I think we can trap more than one person into [Tsukuyomi]; that might be useful to explain to both of them." Kenshi said with a smile as his body began slowly to glow in bright light.
"Ki-enhanced Tsukuyomi," Fugaku noted with fascination. "Incredible."
"Will I see you again?" Kyo asks, and Kenshi shakes with a smile. "Man... I can't believe I merged with an old man," Kyo said with a smile, but Kenshi replied. "Hey, I'm not that old. I died when I was 18th!" Kenshi replies in anger.
"18 years old," multiple voices said with sadness.
"Still just a teenager when he died," Hiruzen noted with grief.
"Yeah-yeah, I know... hehe." Kyo giggles as Kenshi merges with him into one.
Everything turns to bright light and dark again.
"The merger," Yuri said softly, watching her son gain a lifetime of memories.

•Flashback End•
Kyo felt his body ache, and he heard voices. He slowly opened his eyes to see Tsunade and Jirayu.
"K-Kenshi?" Both women spoke at the same time, noticing Kyo's eyes were half-open.
"H-Hey... Tsuna-Hime, Jira-Chan," Kyo said in a low tone and weakly smiled at them. "Sorry for the wait..."
The room went silent with the emotional weight of that moment.
"Sorry for the waiting," Jiraiya repeated with deep emotion. "After 25 years."
"A-Are you actually him?" Jirayu said with hope, fire brighter in her heart.
Kyo, active in his Sharingan, shocks them both when his Sharingan morphs into Mangekyou Sharingan.
"MANGEKYOU SHARINGAN!" Fugaku exclaimed with amazement.
"He awakened it," Itachi noted with professional interest.
"From Kenshi's experience." Madara continues.
"[Tsukuyomi,]" Kyo said as both of the women were trapped inside the world Kyo created.
"Using Tsukuyomi to explain," Sasuke noted with tactical appreciation.
The first thing they see is Kyo, who suddenly transforms into an older version of himself, or perhaps Kenshi, and explains everything to them.
"Showing them the truth directly," Hiruzen noted approvingly.
After 20 minutes of explanation, both of the women were in tears, and before they could hug Kyo, they were back in the real world.
"20 minutes of explanation," Kakashi noted. "Comprehensive."
"They're crying," Yuri observed with sympathy.
Both of them are speechless; Kyo's right eye turns back to a normal grey eye. 'I can't use Tsukuyomi long enough.' Kyo felt light-headed, and then suddenly, a hug came.
"The technique drained him," Tsunade noted with medical concern.
Tsunade and Jirayu give Kyo a gentle as tears down from their faces. 10 mins when the hug broke off, and Tsunade said. "I'm glad you're back to us, Kenshi... even you are 13th right now."
The room was emotional watching the reunion.
"He's back to them," Kushina said through tears.
"But he's still physically 13," Yuri noted with maternal concern.
"Kenshi?" Jirayu said as they didn't receive any response from Kyo. They saw Kyo fall unconscious, and Tsunade immediately checked his pulse as she sighed in relief.
"Exhaustion from the technique," Tsunade diagnosed.
"He must be exhausted for the first time using his power at his state right now." Tsunade claims as she covers Kyo with a blanket. "I'll continue to heal him in time, and I heard you're gonna train Naruko?"
"Training assignments," Minato noted with interest.
Jirayu nods as she speaks. "Yes, I'm, well, Kakane, actually gonna train Satsuki and Naruko, but I told Kakane I'll train Naruko so she can focus on Satsuki Sharingan training."
"Dividing training responsibilities," Kakashi noted approvingly.
"I see... then see you in the next three weeks," Tsunade said with a smile that showed her happiness.
"Three weeks of training," Lee noted with excitement.
"Don't do anything with him when I'm gone," Jirayu said with a chuckle, but suddenly, she got a punch from Tsunade that sent her to the end of the room.
The room erupted in nervous laughter.
"Jirayu's being perverted," Kurenai noted with exasperation.
"Shut up; you perv, he's 13th! For Kami's sake!" Tsunade has a slight blush on her face.
"Age concern," multiple voices noted with approval.
"At least Tsunade has sense," Yuri said with maternal relief.
"He is 13th physically, but he also has an 18th mind," Jirayu said with a grin on her face while she recovered from Tsunade's punch.
The room went uncomfortably silent.
"18-year-old mind in a 13-year-old body," Hiruzen noted with complexity.
"That's... complicated," Minato said with concern.
"Whatever, we are still older than him. He's lucky he didn't age." Tsunade crosses her arms under her big breasts.
"Age gap awareness," Kurenai noted approvingly.
Tsunade and Jirayu just left Kyo's Wardroom as Naruko, Sakura, and Asuka, except for Satsuki, because she already went to train with Kakane.
"The girls are visiting," Kushina noted warmly.
They walked into the room but were only stopped by Tsunade.
"Kids do not get so loud. He needs more rest," Tsunade said as the Genin nodded.
"Medical instructions," the real Tsunade noted approvingly.
"And Naruko waits for me at the Main gate after this," Jirayu said to Naruko.
"Sure," Naruko replies with a smile.
"Training time," Naruto said with excitement for his female counterpart.
Tsunade and Jirayu took a last glance at Kyo with a smile as they walked away.
"They're happy," Jiraiya noted with warmth. "He's back to them."

•To Be Continue•
---
The room sat in stunned silence, processing everything they had learned.
"So Kyo really is Kenshi," Hiruzen said with amazement. "The same soul, reincarnated."
"That explains everything," Yuri said with understanding. "The memories, the resemblance, the techniques."
"All three Sannin were in love with him," Jiraiya said with complex emotions. "That's why they broke up after his death."
"25 years of grieving," Tsunade added with deep sympathy for her counterpart.
"But now he's back," Kushina said warmly. "In Kyo's body."
"The age situation is complicated," Minato noted with concern. "13-year-old body with 18-year-old memories plus his current experiences."
"At least Tsunade has appropriate boundaries," Kurenai said with approval.
"The Mangekyou Sharingan awakening," Fugaku noted with professional interest. "Ki-enhanced techniques."
"One soul, two lifetimes," Gaara said with philosophical interest. "That's incredible."
"He's still our Kyo," Ryo said firmly. "Just with additional memories and understanding."
"But now he has to deal with adult relationships from his past life," Yuri added with maternal concern.
"The training period will be important," Kakashi noted. "Three weeks to process everything."
"Naruko training with Jirayu, Satsuki with Kakane," Shikamaru observed. "Good development opportunities."
"Guardian-sama," Hiruzen requested, "this revelation changes so much about Kyo's relationships and responsibilities."
The Guardian's light pulsed with understanding. "The merging of souls brings wisdom, but also a burden. Kyo must now balance the love of his past life with the bonds of his current one. The heart that loved three women as Kenshi now loves many more as Kyo."
"Emotional complexity," Hinata noted softly.
"He'll need time to sort out his feelings," Sakura added with understanding.
"The important thing is that he's alive and healing," Yuri said with maternal relief.
"And he has people who love him in both timelines," Ryo added warmly.
"Both the legendary Sannin and his current friends," Naruto noted with approval.
Everyone settled back, emotionally processing the profound revelations about reincarnation, love, and the complex nature of Kyo's existence as both himself and the legendary Kenshi Uchiha.
