The viewing room was electric with tension as the ultimate confrontation continued, everyone on the edge of their seats as Kyo faced impossible odds.
"The title," Yuri whispered with hope. "He's not alone."
"But he was getting beaten badly," Ryo said with paternal worry.
---
Kyo and Asura are fighting outside of Konoha.
"At least they're away from civilians," Minato noted with tactical approval.
Asura forgot his main goal in coming to Konoha, which is to find a Kyo space pod to escape when he destroys the planet, but his rage about Kyo siding with a human makes him forget all that.
"Rage is overriding his strategy," Shikamaru noted analytically. "That could be exploited."
"His anger at Kyo's choice," Gaara observed with understanding.
"He's lost focus," A noted with professional interest.
Villagers can hear the sound waves of their punch far away in the village.
"Sound waves from punches," Lee noted with amazement. "Incredible power levels!"
"The whole village can hear the battle," Hiruzen observed with concern.
Tsunade manages to gather the Kages; there are 5 Kages in Konoha for the last round of the Chunin exam tomorrow, but unknown to them all, Kazekage is Orochi disguised as Kazekage itself.
"Five Kage emergency meeting," Onoki noted with the gravity of the situation.
"Wait," Orochimaru said with realization. "My counterpart is disguised as the Kazekage."
"Her infiltration plan," Jiraiya noted with understanding.
"Tsunade, what happened!?" Hiruzen asks his former student.
"He's here!" Tsunade replies as Hiruzen's eyes are wide open.
"Just those two words," Kushina observed. "And Hiruzen knows exactly who she means."
"Who's here!?" Mizukage asks as she wants to know.
"Asura... a person that can destroy the world in the blink of an eye." Hiruzen replies.
The room went dead silent at the casual declaration of planetary threat.
"Destroy the world in a blink," Mei repeated with horror.
"Hiruzen telling them the truth," A noted with approval.
The Kage's eye is wide open as Raikage speaks. "You can't be real, Hokage-dono! Is this the person who had a big Chakra two months ago!?"
Hiruzen nodded and said. "Yes, he is..."
"They're connecting the dots," Shikamaru noted. "The energy signatures from months ago."
"You know all of this!" Mizukage asks once again as Hiruzen is silent for a moment.
"Political tension," Hiruzen observed. "They feel deceived."
Tsuchikage asks. "If you said he can destroy the planet in the blink of an eye, then who is fighting him right now?"
"Good tactical question," Onoki approved of his counterpart.
"Kenshi Uchiha is the one who is fighting him right now, Tsuchikage-Sama." Tsunade's reply caught Orochi's attention.
"KENSHI'S NAME!" Multiple voices screamed.
"Orochi's reaction," Jiraiya noted with interest. "She's paying attention now."
"Tsunade-Dono... you joking. Kenshi Uchiha died 25 years ago; how the hell is he fighting that beast right now!" Orochi said that while she is in Kazekage, in disguise, she wants to know the truth.
"She's trying to get information," Orochimaru noted with understanding.
"Her lover's name being mentioned," Kushina said with sympathy.
"No, I'm not. I know this is a lot to take in, but believe me, Kyo Uchiha is the reincarnation of Kenshi Uchiha! And he is fighting out there!" Tsunade said as she pointed to the window.
"PUBLIC REINCARNATION REVELATION!" Multiple voices screamed.
"The secret's completely out now," Hiruzen noted with concern.
"Every Kage knows about Kenshi's return," Jiraiya observed.
At the time, Tsunade pointed to a big explosion outside the village. "And if you want to stay here chatting, then I'm off. Kenshi needs my help right now!"
"Tsunade's priorities," the real Tsunade noted with approval. "Healing first, politics later."
"She's going to help him," Yuri said with relief.
Tsunade walks out of the room, leaving Kage and their assistant.
"Bold move," Kakashi noted with admiration. "Walking out on five Kage."
"Anbu, go gather as many Jonin as you can and assist Tsunade and Kyo," Hiruzen said as they could hear Anbu Shunshin away.
"Full mobilization," A noted with professional approval.
"All hands on deck," Minato observed.
Orochi is furious right now; her plan was almost perfect, but now everything is ruined.
"Her invasion plan," Orochimaru noted with understanding of his counterpart's frustration.
With four Kage here, and the news that her lover is also alive, makes her think. 'Why..... Kenshi, at a time like this, why do you appear when I'm not what I'm, and now you are once again, fighting to protect everyone? Why can't I be like you...' Orochi tightens her fists as she walks out of the room, as Raikage asks her.
The room fell silent as she struggled internally.
"She's torn between love and her plans," Kurenai noted with sympathy.
"Why can't I be like you?" Jiraiya repeated sadly. "She still loves him."
"Her moral conflict," Gaara observed with understanding.
"Where are you going, Kazekage?"
"..... I'm Gonna assist the other... and I'm not Kazekage," Orochi said as she revealed her split pupil and Shunshin away.
"IDENTITY REVEAL!" Multiple voices screamed.
"She's choosing Kenshi over her plans," Orochimaru noted with amazement.
"Love conquering ambition," Kushina said with warmth.
---
Shizune is with Asuka at the Hokage building, but it seems like there are more genin with them, and they see Tsunade walk out.
"The genin are all together," Sakura noted with relief.
"Tsunade-sama! What happens now?" asked Shizune.
"I'm gonna assist Kenshi, and you take care of them," Tsunade replies.
"Who is Kenshi?" Choji asks, but Tsunade already rushes to Kyo's place.
"Poor Choji," the real Choji said with sympathy. "So confused."
"Didn't know," Shikamaru replies as he shrugs.
"Even Shikamaru doesn't understand," his father noted with amusement.
"Asuka-Chan, is Kyo-Kun still in the hospital?" Sakura asks, but Asuka doesn't reply; she seems in a shocked state.
"Asuka's traumatized," Hinata noted with concern. "Seeing Asura again."
"Asuka-Chan... are you okay?" Hinata asks. Then another big explosion outside the village makes them scared.
"More explosions," Kiba noted with worry.
"Whoever is fighting out there is not even compared to our rank right now," Shino said as all of them looked at the explosion.
"Realistic assessment," Neji noted with approval.
"I-It's Kyo..." Asuka spoke as the Genin paid attention to her.
"She knows," Ino realized.
"Huh, Kyo? What are you saying, Asuka-Chan?" Ino said as Asuka pointed to the battlefield and said. "Kyo is fighting out there?"
"Kyo? So Kenshi and Kyo are fighting that person together?" Kiba asks because they didn't all know what Kyo had discovered over the past week.
"They think Kenshi and Kyo are separate people," Shikamaru noted with understanding.
Asuka shakes her head. "No, Kyo is Kenshi!"
"THE REVELATION!" Multiple voices screamed.
"Asuka telling them the truth," Kushina noted with amazement.
Before they can say anything, a sound Ki blast flies toward Konoha, but before it hits, Konoha. Kyo appears in Super Saiyan state and blocks the Ki blast with an energy shield.
"VILLAGE PROTECTION!" Everyone screamed with relief.
"Even while fighting, he's defending the village," Minato noted with admiration.
Kyo's clothes are torn apart. He also has brushes all over his body. Before anyone can react, another golden blond appears and punches Kyo right in the face, sending him back to the battlefield. The blond then chases after him.
"He's getting beaten," Yuri said with maternal terror.
"Both in Super Saiyan form," A noted grimly.
"I-Is that Kyo-Senpai!?" Lee asks.
"Lee recognizing his senpai," Guy noted with emotional pride.
---
Kyo crashes to the ground, then he quickly recovers and sees Asura fire a Ki blast toward him; he dodges the first and second Ki blasts, and the third Ki blast he braces with his body. Kyo is down on his knees, panting.
"He's taking direct hits," Tsunade noted with medical alarm.
"His endurance is incredible," Lee observed with admiration.
Asura appears right in front of him, grabs his hair, and pulls his head to face Asura. "Is this the world you want to protect, Tomarot... A human that never passes our power level, this is the one you want to protect!?" Asura said as he threw Kyo far away from him.
"Grabbing his hair," Yuri said with maternal rage. "How dare he?"
"He's mocking Kyo's choice," Gaara noted with anger.
Kyo was wobbling to stand and said. "Y-You never understand, Asura, This world... makes me who I am now. You never know what it is like to protect your love."
The declaration sent pride through the viewing room.
"This world made him who he is," Kushina said with tears of pride.
"Protecting love," Ryo noted with paternal admiration.
Kyo is still in his Super Saiyan form as Asura laughs.
"Hahaha..... Tomarot-To... Everything I love is already gone... Our Planet is gone, our race! ARE GONE! I don't know how you get younger than me; maybe you have been stuck in a space void for years, and I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS WORLD! AND DON'T YOU DARE TALK LIKE YOU KNEW BETTER THAN ME!" Asura fires a powerful Ki wave at Kyo, and behind him is Konoha.
"Everything he loved is gone," Gaara said with understanding. "That's why he's so angry."
"Space void explanation," Orochimaru noted with scientific interest.
"He's aiming at the village!" Multiple voices screamed in alarm.
Kyo's eyes were wide open as the deadly blast came toward him. Then he heard "[Summoning: Rashōmon]!" Three giant demon gates suddenly appear right in front of Kyo.
"RASHOMON!" Orochimaru exclaimed with recognition.
"Someone's helping!" Naruto cheered.
Kyo makes an Energy shield right in front of him, blocking Konoha from the Ki wave. The wave hits the first gate and stops a split-second at the last one, and then every gate is destroyed as it hits Kyo's shield.
"Triple defense," Shikamaru noted with tactical appreciation.
"He's still protecting the village even while being attacked," Minato observed with pride.
"GAHHHHH!!!" Kyo screams as he blocks the Ki wave.
"The strain," Tsunade noted with medical concern.
"YOU ARE ALONE, TOMAROT-TO! IS THIS YOU PROTECT!? HUMAN, SUCH A WEAKLING! NOW YOU DIE WITH THE HUMAN!" Asura yells in anger as he powers up his Ki wave even more.
"You are alone," multiple voices repeated with growing emotion.
Kyo lost his Super Saiyan state. His shield is cracked bit by bit.
"He's losing power," A noted with alarm.
"You're wrong about one thing, Asura..... I'm not alone," Kyo said with a weak smile as Asura looked at the top and saw Tsunade in the air, ready to smash the Saiyan.
"I'M NOT ALONE!" The entire viewing room screamed with joy and pride.
"TSUNADE TO THE RESCUE!" Multiple voices cheered.
"That smile," Yuri said through tears. "Even dying, he has faith in his friends."
Asura cancels the Ki wave and dodges the Tsunade to attack the blonde woman to destroy the ground under him.
"Smart evasion," A noted professional said.
Asura is floating in the sky when suddenly he feels something coming his way. Asura tilts his head like the sword passed by his face and slightly cuts his cheek. Asura turns his head as he sees Orochi throw the sword.
"OROCHI!" Multiple voices screamed with amazement.
"She chose love over ambition," Jiraiya said with deep emotion.
"First blood on Asura," Tenten noted with weapon specialist approval.
Asura felt something again as he turned and saw Jirayu with a giant blue orb in her hand. "[CHO ODAMA RASENGAN]!" Jirayu yelled as Asura, unable to react, braced the impact and hit his back. Asura gasped in pain as Rasengan sent him crashing back to the ground.
"GIANT RASENGAN!" Naruto screamed with excitement.
"Direct hit!" Minato noted with tactical satisfaction.
"He actually took damage!" Lee observed with amazement.
Jirayu, Tsunade, and Orochi are reunited with Kyo.
"THE LEGENDARY SANNIN REUNITED!" Multiple voices screamed with emotion.
"After 25 years," Hiruzen said with tears in his eyes.
"For Kenshi," Kushina noted with warmth.
"I can't believe we are back in one team again, hehe." Jirayu giggles, Tsunade smiles as she heals Kyo's injuries, and Orochi is on her guard and says.
"Their dynamics," Jiraiya noted with interest. "Like old times."
"Tsunade immediately healing," the real Tsunade noted with approval.
"Focus, that attack isn't gonna let him down."
"Orochi staying tactical," Orochimaru noted with professional respect.
"HeheheHAHAHAHA!" Asura laughs as everything around him explodes into pieces. "Is this what you call backup!? HAHAHA, they are nothing to me!"
"He's not even fazed," A noted with growing alarm.
"Three legendary Sannin and he's laughing," Onoki observed grimly.
Then, suddenly, more Shinobi appear right in front of Kyo, and his old teammate is the Kage, accompanied by other Jonins, such as Kakashi, Asuma, Guy, Kurenai, Bee, Chojiro, and more.
"FULL MOBILIZATION!" Multiple voices screamed with excitement.
"All five villages united," Hiruzen noted with amazement.
"International cooperation," Mei observed with approval.
"Guy-sensei!" Lee screamed with tears of joy.
"OI, YOU THE MAN WITH TAIL, HOW DARE YOU TREAT OUR WORLD, AND I'M GONNA DEFEAT YOU MY 8 TAIL POWER, FOOL YA FOOL!" Bee yell at Asura.
"Killer Bee's entrance!" Multiple voices cheered.
"Eight-Tails power," Naruto noted with excitement.
"His rap style, even in serious moments," Kiba said with amusement.
"Tsunade Heals Kyo until he can fight again. Jirayu, you cover both of them..... and Orochimaru... I didn't know what made you change your heart, but please cover Kyo as long as you can." Hiruzen said as Orochi replied.
"Strategic leadership," Minato noted with approval.
"Hiruzen is organizing the defense," Ay observed professionally.
"I'm not doing this for you; I'm doing this for Kenshi."
The room fell silent at her declaration.
"For Kenshi," Orochimaru repeated with complex emotions.
"Love changing everything," Kurenai noted with warmth.
Hiruzen nods with a smile, and he looks at Asura.
"Understanding smile," Hiruzen noted with approval of his counterpart.
"Hoo... The entire nation is here to stop me... hehe, I don't even need a Super Saiyan to fight all of you." Asura smiles as he drops his Super Saiyan state. "Now... KAKATE KOI!"
The room went dead silent at the implications.
"He dropped Super Saiyan," Madara noted with amazement.
"Against ALL of them," A said with growing horror.
"He's that confident," Gaara observed with dread.
"Base form against the entire ninja alliance," Shikamaru noted analytically.
"The power gap," Onoki said grimly. "He doesn't even consider them a threat."
"That's terrifying," Mei added with honest fear.

•To Be Continue•

The room sat in stunned silence as the chapter ended, processing the incredible developments.
"The legendary Sannin reunited after 25 years," Hiruzen said with deep emotion. "For Kenshi."
"Orochi chose love over her invasion plans," Jiraiya noted with amazement. "She abandoned everything for him."
"All five villages working together," A observed with historic significance. "Unprecedented cooperation."
"But Asura doesn't even need Super Saiyan against all of them," Madara noted grimly. "The power difference is staggering."
"Kyo's not alone anymore," Yuri said with proud relief. "He has the support of the entire ninja world."
"That moment," Kushina said through tears. "'You're wrong about one thing, Asura... I'm not alone.' Even while dying, he had faith."
"The title makes perfect sense now," Minato noted with admiration. "He's never been alone."
"Bee's entrance was perfect," Killer B noted with satisfaction. "Eight-Tails versus alien warrior!"
"Orochi's character development," Kurenai observed with approval. "From villain to protector because of love."
"The international implications," Hiruzen noted with wonder. "Every village sets aside differences to face a common threat."
"Guy-sensei appearing to help," Lee said through tears of joy. "YOUTHFUL COOPERATION!"
"But the confidence of fighting everyone in base form," Tsunade noted with medical concern. "What kind of monster are they facing?"
"Space void explanation," Orochimaru said with scientific interest. "That's why Kyo is younger than Asura despite being the same generation."
"Guardian-sama," Minato requested with growing hope, "surely with everyone united, they have a chance?"
The Guardian's light pulsed with complex emotions. "Unity is the greatest strength mortals possess. When hearts align for a common cause, even the impossible becomes possible. But the price of victory against overwhelming power is often measured in sacrifice."
"Sacrifice," multiple voices repeated with worry.
"The price of victory," Gaara noted grimly.
"Someone might not make it out," Yuri said with maternal dread.
"But they're all together," Ryo added with fierce determination. "United against the threat."
"The power of friendship and cooperation," Naruto said with conviction. "Just like in our world."
"Orochi's redemption through love," Sakura noted with romantic approval.
"This is it," Sasuke said with anticipation. "The entire ninja world versus one Saiyan warrior."
"The ultimate test of whether unity can overcome individual power," Kakashi observed philosophically.
Everyone settled back with a mixture of hope and dread, amazed by the unprecedented cooperation but terrified by Asura's casual dismissal of their combined might. The next chapter would determine whether love, friendship, and unity could triumph over overwhelming power and destructive rage.
The image of Kyo's weak but confident smile as he declared "I'm not alone" would stay with them forever - a moment that perfectly captured the spirit of never giving up when you have people worth fighting for.
