The viewing room was still processing the profound revelations about Kyo's identity as Kenshi's reincarnation when the new chapter began, but the ominous title immediately set everyone on edge.
"Oh no," Yuri whispered, gripping Ryo's hand tightly. "He's back."
"The one-year deadline," Gaara noted grimly. "It hasn't been that long yet."
"Why is he returning early?" Minato asked with growing concern.
---
In the days before the final round of the Chunin exam, in some places, you can see Asura mediate under the high pressure of a waterfall. Fish and every living being are natural and calm until Asura opens his eyes and releases the power that destroys everything around him.
The viewing room fell silent as they watched the environmental destruction.
"He destroyed everything just by opening his eyes," Tsunade noted with medical alarm.
"The wildlife was peaceful until his power awakened," Hinata observed sadly.
"That level of energy output," A noted with professional dread. "Just from meditation."
"He's gotten stronger," Ryo said grimly, recognizing the signs.
Asura smirks as he looks at the environment he destroys. "Soon, this world will be destroyed by my hands." His hand was under his chin. "But where is Tomarot hiding his space Pod... I must find it before I destroy this planet." He smirks. "Maybe it's time to give the world a warning, or maybe also time to destroy the world."
"DESTROY THE PLANET!" Multiple voices screamed in horror.
"He's planning genocide," Hiruzen said with grave seriousness.
"Space pod," Orochimaru noted with scientific interest. "He's looking for something specific."
"Tomarot's space pod," Kushina realized. "The ship that brought Kyo to Earth as a baby."
"Why does he need it?" Shikamaru wondered analytically.
The Saiyan man grabs his sword as he disappears in a blink.
"He's moving," Gaara noted with alarm.
"Toward Konoha," Yuri said with maternal dread.
---
Kyo has been awake for two weeks, secretly training without Tsunade or anyone else who cares about him noticing. Thanks to Tsunade's treatment, he heals faster than before.
"SECRET TRAINING!" Multiple voices screamed with worry.
"He's supposed to be resting," Tsunade said with medical anger.
"Our stubborn boy," Yuri said with frustrated affection. "Always pushing himself."
"Two weeks of secret training while injured," Ryo noted with paternal concern.
He also knows how to use his Sharingan power, and he notices his power boost almost ten times after he awakens his Mangekyou Sharingan---all thanks to his older self.
"Ten times power boost," Fugaku noted with amazement.
"Mangekyou Sharingan mastery," Itachi observed with professional interest.
"Kenshi's knowledge is helping him," Sasuke added with understanding.
Kyo is now floating in the night sky as he is panting for air after hardcore training.
"Night training," Kakashi noted. "Smart to avoid detection."
"But he's exhausted," Kurenai observed with concern.
"Soon, my body heals enough; I have to train even harder," Kyo said to himself as he tightened his fist. Kyo knows his Super Saiyan state is not enough to fight Asura, and then he must try something that might destroy his eye or body.
The room tensed with worry.
"He knows Super Saiyan isn't enough," Madara noted grimly.
"Something that might destroy his eye or body," Yuri repeated with maternal terror.
"He's willing to sacrifice everything," Minato observed with deep concern.
Kyo floats back to the ground, and the wind starts to fire away from him. His hair spikes up, and he closes his eyes. He then opens his right eye, transforming into a Super Saiyan and Sharingan form. His Sharingan has changed from blue to cyan, and he experiences a more powerful boost than usual. However, this surge is short-lived, as he suddenly feels pain originating from both his brain and body.
"CYAN SHARINGAN!" Fugaku exclaimed with amazement.
"Combining Super Saiyan with Sharingan," Itachi noted with fascination and alarm.
"The color changed again," Sasuke observed with interest.
"But the pain," Tsunade noted with medical horror. "His body can't handle both transformations."
"GAHH!" Kyo screams in pain as he reverts to a normal state and falls to his knees. 'As I thought, Super Saiyan uses so much energy as Sharingan... If I continue with Mangekyou, my body might turn to ashes...' Kyo wobbled, standing.
"TURN TO ASHES!" Yuri screamed with maternal terror.
"The combination is literally killing him," Tsunade said with medical alarm.
"Two power systems conflicting," Orochimaru noted with scientific concern.
"He's pushing beyond his limits," Guy observed with worried admiration.
'I need to know what a Saiyan is... What I'm capable of...' Kyo thought to himself as he raised his power once again.
"He doesn't fully understand his own nature," Jiraiya noted with sympathy.
"Still searching for identity," Gaara said with understanding.
"Raising his power again after that pain," Lee noted with amazement. "YOUTHFUL DETERMINATION!"
---
Unknown to Kyo, he makes the Kage and most Jonin in Konoha slightly notice his power every time he powers up.
"They're detecting his energy," Shikamaru noted with concern.
"His secret training isn't so secret," Kakashi observed.
"Bee, do you feel that?" Raikage asks his brother as Bee nods.
"Yes, brother, but don't be bothered. That is just a kid who can turn his hair yellow, yeah." Bee said with some rap style.
"They know about his transformation," Ay noted with interest.
"Bee's rap style even here," Killer Bee noted with amusement.
"But how did he turn blond? Uchiha can't turn blond. His Sharingan also turns blue." Raikage said.
"Still investigating his abilities," A observed.
"For the eyes, maybe he might be a descendant of Kenshi Uchiha?" Bee reply.
The room went silent at the mention.
"They think he's descended from Kenshi," Hiruzen noted with irony.
"If only they knew the truth," Jiraiya added with complex emotions.
"That can be possible..." Raikage agreed. "But what about the hair turning to blond..."
"Maybe his mother has a bloodline that can boost its power while a turn to gold.
"Logical but wrong conclusion," Shikamaru noted analytically.
"They're trying to explain Saiyan powers with ninja logic," Minato observed with amusement.
---
"Damnit, I told him to stay in bed!" Tsunade said to herself as she opened Kyo's room and saw Kyo nowhere to be found. But then, suddenly, she felt a powerful surge of energy from somewhere.
"Tsunade's found out," Kurenai noted with approval.
"Medical orders ignored," the real Tsunade said with familiar frustration.
"Tusnade-Sama, did you feel that?" Tsunade's assistant, Shizune, said to her.
"Shizune's there too," Sakura noted.
"That Idiot! I'm going to kill him for the second time for ignoring my order!" Tsunade has a tick vein on her head, and Shizune has a sweatdrop. "Let's go, Shizune. I got an idiot to smash."
The room erupted in nervous laughter.
"Angry Tsunade," Jiraiya noted with familiar fear. "He's in trouble."
"Kill him for the second time," Naruto repeated with amusement.
Tsunade rushes to the place where she felt the power, but as she closes the door, she realizes the power has vanished and is now coming from a different place.
"He's moving around," Tenten noted. "Hard to track."
---
Tsunade was walking toward the training ground with her student, Shizune, until she found the Saiyan boy panting for air.
"She found him," Hinata noted softly.
"I think this is my limit for now..." Kyo said to himself as he fell to the ground. The Saiyan Boy looked to the sky as he tried to grab it; he said, "I need to heal more... those people, and the people that I care about, must be protected... Asura will come soon, and I need to get stronger..."
The desperation in his voice broke hearts across the viewing room.
"He knows Asura is coming," Kushina said with deep concern.
"Always thinking about protecting others," Yuri noted with worried pride.
"The weight of responsibility," Minato observed with sympathy.
Tsunade watched from afar as she sighed and said, "How do you get stronger than this, Kenshi?"
The room fell silent at her use of his past name.
"She's accepting him as Kenshi," Jiraiya noted with complex emotions.
Kyo turned to his left as he saw his past lover and said, "I didn't know either... but every time you heal me, it kinda makes me stronger than before..."
"Past lover," multiple voices repeated with various emotions.
"The relationship dynamic," Kurenai noted with interest.
"Kenshi, please don't push yourself more than this... I know you were trying to protect us, but at least let us aid you too."
"She wants to help," Tsunade said, understanding her counterpart.
"Partnership instead of just medical treatment," Sakura noted approvingly.
Kyo was silent for a second as he said, "How long until I completely heal, Tsuna-Hime?"
"The nickname," Hiruzen noted with warmth. "Their bond is reforming."
"If you didn't push yourself much, it might take one or two treatments more," Tsunade replied, knowing Kyo was desperate to get stronger, especially with someone trying to destroy the world sooner or later.
"One or two more treatments," Yuri noted with maternal calculation. "If he rests."
"But he won't rest," Ryo added with paternal understanding. "Not with Asura coming."
"I see..." Kyo was lost in thought when he replied. He felt something powerful was wandering in the village, but he couldn't be sure if it was Asura because there were so many Kage and Jinchuriki in the town for the Chunin exam.
"He's sensing something," Gaara noted with alarm.
"Asura's already in the village," Temari realized with horror.
"I think it's time for you to rest and heal. So, do you want to come with me?" Tsunade said, pulling her hand forward to help Kyo get up to his feet.
"Caring gesture," Kushina noted warmly.
Kyo chuckled, knowing Tsunade was strong enough to handle the weight he had with him. She surely can pull him up.
"He trusts her strength," Guy noted with approval.
Shizune was watching from afar, and even though it was weird, her Sensei didn't get mad when the kid called her 'Hime'. They act more like long-time friends or lovers simultaneously.
"Shizune noticing their dynamic," Sakura observed with interest.
"The relationship is confusing for outsiders," Kurenai noted with understanding.
---
Days later, on the Chunin exam day, Asura is now arriving at Konoha, observing from Hokage Mountain. As he gazes upon a peaceful village, he has been there for days, watching, stalking, and trying to find what he wants.
The room tensed with dread.
"He's been watching for days," Shikamaru noted with alarm. "Studying the village."
"Stalking," Anko said with anger. "Like a predator."
"Damn it, Tomarot, where the hell did you keep your space pod..." Asura growls in anger as he disappears.
"Still looking for the space pod," Orochimaru noted with scientific interest.
"Why is it so important to him?" Minato wondered.
Asura gains people's attention; why? Because he was shirtless. But Asura didn't care at all. He had had enough hiding, and this time, he wanted people to know and fear him.
"He's done hiding," A noted grimly.
"Wants people to fear him," Gaara said, understanding that mindset.
"Public intimidation," Ibiki noted professionally.
The Saiyan walked on the street, then stopped when he saw a girl carrying some groceries with brown hair covering her right face and her single green eye.
The room went dead silent.
"No," Yuri whispered with horror. "Not Asuka."
"He found her," Kushina said with maternal terror.
Asura smirks as he goes closer to the girl and says. "Hello, Asuka."
Asuka looks at Asura as she tilts her head.
"Do I know you?" Asuka asks.
"She doesn't recognize him immediately," Hinata noted with hope.
"You seem to forget about me, huh, brat?" Asura smirked as Asuka's eyes widened in shock.
Asuka trembled and backed away. "A-Asura..." Asuka shookly replied.
"She remembers now," Sakura said with sympathy. "The trauma returning."
"Poor Asuka," multiple voices said with concern.
Asura smirks and asks if he wants to grab Asuka, but only stops when Kyo suddenly appears right in front of him and stops his hands. "Ho, Hero is here. Came to save his princess," Asura said with a smirk.
"KYO TO THE RESCUE!" Multiple voices cheered.
"Perfect timing," Lee noted with admiration.
"His protective instincts," Yuri said with proud worry.
"I know you were here, Asura, but you have to leave... now," Kyo said in a cold tone as Villagers nearby were scared when Kyo and Asura's power rose.
"He sensed him coming," Neji noted with approval.
"Cold tone," Sasuke observed. "He's serious."
Kyo looks at Asura with a death glare; small stones and dust start to float around Kyo and Asura.
"Environmental effects from their power," Madara noted with interest.
"Death glare," Fugaku observed with paternal approval.
"Asuka, go to safety now!" Kyo said in a cold tone.
"Always protecting others first," Minato noted with admiration.
Tsunade and other Jonins arrive upon seeing Kyo and Asuka's intense power.
"Backup arriving," Kakashi noted approvingly.
"Let me go, TOMAROT-TO!" Asura yells as he punches Kyo, but only blocks Kyo's other hand, making a huge shock wave.
"Shockwave from blocked punch," A noted with amazement. "Incredible power levels."
"Tomarot-to," Naruto repeated. "He keeps using that name mockingly."
"Kenshi!" Tsunade yells, worried, as she covers Asuka from the shockwave.
"She called him Kenshi publicly," Hiruzen noted with concern about the implications.
"Protecting Asuka," Yuri observed with approval.
"Go warn The Kage's and take everyone to safety!" Kyo claimed as suddenly he and Asura went to the sky, only leaving a massive crack in the ground.
"Taking the fight away from civilians," Minato noted with tactical approval.
"Massive crack in the ground," Tenten observed with awe.
"He's thinking strategically even while fighting," Shikamaru noted approvingly.
"We must hurry!" Tsunade said as Shizune picked Asuka with her.
"Evacuation procedures," Hiruzen noted with professional approval.
To Kyo and Asura. Kyo still holds Asura's hands while they're floating in the sky.
"Aerial combat," A noted with professional interest.
Asura smirked as he said to Kyo. "I see you stronger than before, Tomarot-To, and you seem to heal well."
"He can sense Kyo's improvement," Gaara noted analytically.
"The healing comment," Tsunade said with medical interest. "He knows about the injuries."
Kyo grins his teeth with anger as he asks. "Why are you here, Asura!" Asura grins widely as he uses his right leg and swings to kick Kyo away from the Konoha area and crashes far from the village.
"Strategic kick," Minato noted. "Moving the battle away from populated areas."
"At least they're fighting away from the village," Yuri said with relief.
Kyo slowly got up as he saw Asura drop from the sky. Kyo dodges just in time with a backflip. Kyo activates his Sharingan as he throws Kunai with Ki enhancement straight to where Asura lands, then Kyo gets a surprise undercut from Asura when he comes from the ground; Kyo manages to make a counter knee kick that sends them both away from each other.
"Ki-enhanced kunai," Tenten noted with weapon specialist interest.
"Underground attack," Shikamaru observed. "Asura's getting creative."
"Good counter by Kyo," Lee noted with combat appreciation.
Kyo wipes his blood from his mouth as Asura laughs and says. "Hahahaha, your skill also gets better." Asura gets up, and so does Kyo.
"Already drawing blood," Tsunade noted with medical concern.
"But Kyo's skill improvement is noticeable," Guy observed approvingly.
"Why are you here, Asura... you said you would give me one year to think about joining you," Kyo said, his tone laced with slight anger. He continued. "If you came here because of that. My answer is no, and never! I'm going to protect this world!" Kyo stomps his hand to his chest.
The declaration sent pride through the viewing room.
"Absolute refusal," Naruto said with admiration.
"He's choosing Earth over his own race," Gaara noted with respect.
"That gesture," Kushina observed warmly. "Pure determination."
Asura scoffed as he said. "You, fool! You against your own kind to help this Human!" As Asura gets angry as his power rises numerously, Kyo turns to Super Saiyan and switches off his Sharingan.
"Power escalation," he noted professionally.
"He turned off Sharingan," Fugaku observed. "Conserving energy."
"Racial loyalty vs chosen loyalty," Minato noted philosophically.
"Then our deal is done... Tomato-to... you want to stay by their side, protect them, and against your Own Race!" Asura changes to Super Saiyan. "You really disgrace to our race, Tomarot-to! And you can die with a human as you wish!"
"Both in Super Saiyan now," Madara noted with anticipation.
"Calling him a disgrace," Ryo said with anger. "Our son is no disgrace."
"He's choosing love over blood," Yuri added with maternal pride.
"No, I'll not let you!" Kyo rushes to Asura as they continue to fight.
"Direct confrontation," Lee noted with excitement.
"The final battle begins," Hiruzen said gravely.

•To Be Continue•
---
The room sat in tense anticipation as the chapter ended on the brink of the ultimate confrontation.
"He's really here," Yuri said with a mixture of dread and determination. "Asura's finally made his move."
"Two weeks early," Shikamaru noted analytically. "Something made him change his timeline."
"The space pod," Orochimaru said with scientific interest. "He needs something from Kyo's original ship."
"But why?" Minato wondered. "What could be so important?"
"To escape," Tobirama gives his thought.
"Kyo's secret training," Tsunade noted with medical concern. "Combining Super Saiyan with Sharingan nearly killed him."
"The cyan Sharingan," Fugaku observed with fascination. "His power evolution continues."
"He sensed Asura coming," Gaara noted with approval. "His instincts are sharp."
"Thank Kami, he got to Asuka in time," Kushina said with relief.
"The way he immediately moved the fight away from civilians," Minato noted with paternal pride. "Always protecting others."
"But this time he's facing Asura while still recovering," Yuri said with worry.
"The Kenshi memories and Mangekyou Sharingan gave him a ten-times power boost," Itachi noted analytically. "But is it enough?"
"Both of them in Super Saiyan," A observed grimly. "This could level the surrounding area."
"The other Kage felt his power spikes during training," Hiruzen noted with concern. "They're all aware something major is happening."
"Tsunade calling him Kenshi in public," Jiraiya observed. "That'll raise questions."
"Their relationship is developing," Kurenai noted with interest. "She's accepting both his identities."
"The way she wanted to help instead of just treating him," Sakura added approvingly.
"Shizune noticed their dynamic," Ino observed. "Like lovers, she said."
"Asura's been stalking the village for days," Anko noted with anger. "Planning something."
"The threat to destroy the planet," Onoki said grimly. "He's not bluffing."
"Guardian-sama," Minato requested with growing urgency, "this confrontation will determine the fate of the world."
The Guardian's light pulsed with anticipation and concern. "The final test approaches. Two warriors of the same blood, but vastly different hearts. One seeks destruction, the other protection. The choice between heritage and home will be decided through battle."
"Heritage vs home," Naruto repeated with understanding. "I get that struggle."
"Kyo's already made his choice," Sasuke noted with approval. "He's defending what he loves."
"But can he win?" Temari asked with worry.
"He has to," Guy declared with tears. "THE POWER OF YOUTH AND FRIENDSHIP WILL PREVAIL!"
"His training, his new abilities, his determination," Kakashi listed analytically. "He's prepared as much as possible."
"But so has Asura," Madara countered grimly. "And he's had longer to master his power."
"Our son won't give up," Yuri said with fierce determination. "He'll find a way."
"He's not alone," Ryo added warmly. "He has people worth fighting for."
"The ultimate test of a Saiyan raised with human values," Hiruzen noted philosophically.
Everyone settled back into tense anticipation, knowing that the next chapter would likely determine the fate of not just Kyo, but the entire world. The stakes had never been higher, and their beloved Saiyan warrior was about to face his greatest challenge yet.
The room buzzed with nervous energy, pride in Kyo's unwavering moral stance mixed with terror at the overwhelming power Asura represented. This was the moment everything had been building toward.
