The title appeared on screen, and the room fell into an expectant silence. Several people leaned forward with interest, but Ryo and Yuri exchanged a meaningful glance that didn't go unnoticed by some of the more observant viewers.
"A Saiyan name, Asura?" Sasuke read aloud, his Sharingan unconsciously activating. "That's not Kyo..."
"Another Saiyan?" Naruto asked excitedly. "Like Kyo?!"
Madara's eyes narrowed with interest. "The plot thickens."
Yuri's hands clenched in her lap, while Ryo's jaw tightened almost imperceptibly.
---
One month after the Kakane test.
"Time skip!" Lee noted enthusiastically. "I wonder how much stronger Kyo's gotten!"
"A month of missions and training," Guy observed approvingly. "His youth should be burning even brighter!"
Team 7 has been on their first mission for a month now.
"D-rank missions," Kakashi predicted with amusement. "The classic genin experience."
"Poor kids probably chased cats for weeks," Anko laughed.
As usual, Kyo goes to train after the mission. He asks Kakane if she can add more weight to his weight bracelet and his shoes.
"More weight?!" Rock Lee's eyes sparkled with admiration. "The dedication to training! Beautiful!"
"He's already wearing weights?" Tenten asked with interest.
"This should be good," Guy said, practically vibrating with excitement.
"Sure, hand me your bracelet and your shoes," Kakane said with a smile.
Kyo takes it off and hands it over to Kakane. At the same time, his other hand holds a pair of shoes.
"Let's see how heavy these are," Tsunade said with clinical interest.
Kakane thought this was just a normal Gai training weight bracelet. So, she takes it with one hand, but something strange happens; she can't lift it. 'What?' She tries harder but still can't, and finally, she uses both hands to lift both weights. "H-How many kilos is this training bracelet, Kyo-Kun?"
"She can't lift it?!" Sakura exclaimed in shock.
"A jonin can't lift his training weights with one hand?" Ino asked in disbelief.
"This is getting interesting," Neji observed analytically.
Kyo shrugged as he said, "I didn't remember. Ummm... last time, Gai-sensei told me that bracelets are 100kg each."
"ONE HUNDRED KILOGRAMS?!" Multiple voices shouted in unison.
"EACH?!" Lee yelled, his jaw dropping. "That's 200kg total on his arms alone!"
"That's insane!" Kiba said with amazement. "No wonder he's so strong!"
"And he's been wearing this casually?" Temari asked in disbelief.
Guy wiped away a proud tear. "That's my training method! Beautiful dedication!"
Kakane let go of the training tool, which made a small crack on the ground when it hit. "And you want to add more weight!?"
"It cracked the ground!" Choji said with amazement.
"100kg each and he wants MORE?" Shikamaru said, his lazy demeanor replaced by genuine shock.
Kyo rubs his wrist. "Yeah, it's starting to feel lighter."
"Starting to feel lighter," Hinata repeated faintly. "100kg... feels lighter..."
"The boy's strength progression is incredible," A rumbled with approval.
"Saiyan physiology adaptation," Orochimaru noted with scientific fascination.
"Don't tell me you wore this when we fought at a test a month ago?" Kakane asks in shock.
"He was wearing 200kg during their bell test?!" Fugaku demanded.
"No wonder she couldn't keep up with his speed," Itachi observed analytically.
"He was handicapped and still dominated," Madara said with dark amusement.
Kyo rubbed his back head in shame, "Yeah, I wore that. These shoes also serve the same purpose."
"THE SHOES TOO?!" Tsunade yelled. "How much weight is this kid carrying?!"
"At least 400kg total," Kakashi calculated with amazement. "That's more than some summons weigh."
"And he's been training like this for months," Kurenai said with wonder.
Kakane, eyes wide open, 'This kid is unbelievable. Just how strong are you, Kyo?'
"The question we're all asking," Mei said with genuine curiosity.
"So, can you do it, Kakane-sensei?" Kyo asks again.
Kakane sighs. "How much do you want to add?"
Kyo thought about it for a second as he said, "Not much, just three times the weight."
"THREE TIMES?!" The room exploded.
"That's 300kg each!" Lee calculated rapidly. "600kg on his arms plus the shoes!"
"He's going to be carrying over 1200kg total," Neji said with amazement.
"That's not training, that's torture!" Sakura said with concern.
Kakane is disbelieving, "What?"
"Same reaction as all of us," Kiba said, still in shock.
---
Kakane goes to the weapon shop, and the owner greets her. She shows the pair of training bracelets and a pair of shoes with a sealing scroll because she didn't want to carry 400kg in her pocket.
"Smart woman," Anko observed. "I wouldn't want to carry that either."
"Good morning, sir. I want to add more weight to this bracelet and the shoes."
The owner immediately recognised the item as he said, "Ah, you must be Kyo-Kun's new Sensei."
"He's famous at the weapon shop," Ino noted with amusement.
"Makes sense if he's constantly upgrading equipment," Tenten observed professionally.
Kakane looks at the store owner as she asks, "You know Kyo-Kun?"
The owner shook his head, "Not really, but Gai-San always comes here to add more weight to this, and my daughter knows him too."
"His daughter?" Hinata asked curiously.
"I wonder who that is," Sakura mused.
"So you're the one who makes this?" Kakane asks again.
The owner: "Kinda. I just make the material, while Gai-San is the one who comes up with the idea. So how much do you want to add this time?"
"Gai-sensei's engineering skills," Lee said with admiration.
Kakane paused for a second as she said, "Just add three times the weight."
The store owner's eyes were wide open in shock, "SERIOUSLY! THAT MAKES IT 300KG EACH!"
"Even the professional is shocked," Kurenai noted.
"300kg each," Gaara repeated with amazement. "That's beyond normal human limits."
Kakane sighed, "Yeah, I know."
The store owner sighs, "Man, how strong is this kid? Well, come back tomorrow. It takes a day for me to finish it."
"The shop owner's questioning reality," Anko laughed.
The day later, Kakane comes back to the store to pick up the training tools. But she didn't meet the owner. She meets his daughter.
"Here comes the daughter," Naruto said with interest.
The girl is 5.0ft tall, with brown hair, two buns, and brown eyes. She was wearing a pink Chinese-style outfit with short arms, sleeves, and B-cup breasts.
"That description..." Tenten said slowly, a blush creeping up her face.
"Wait," Lee said with realization. "Is that...?"
"Ah, welcome. How can I help you?"
Kakane looked at the girls as she said, "I want to pick a bracelet and shoes."
"Ahh, that item." The girl goes back door to pick up the item, returning to the back counter with a scroll. "Here." She hands over the scroll to Kakane. "My dad said, 'Don't open it if you don't want to break your back." I didn't know what he meant by that."
"Smart dad," Tsunade said with amusement.
The one-eyed teacher takes the scroll. "Where's your dad, by the way?"
"My dad wanted me to take over for today. He had an accident yesterday. Something heavy fell to his leg." As she remembered her dad, the girl screamed in pain last night.
"The weights injured him," Kakashi said with concern.
"That's what 300kg can do," A noted grimly.
Kakane sweatdrop "I see. You are from the Gai team, right?"
The girl nodded, "Yes, my name is Tenten from team 10!" She smiles at the end of her word.
"It IS Tenten!" Lee exclaimed happily.
"Team 10?" Neji asked with confusion. "Shouldn't that be Team Guy?"
"Different team numbers in that world," Shikamaru observed.
Kakane smiles under her mask as she introduces herself. "Nice to meet you, Tenten. I'm Kakane, leader of Team 7."
"So you are Sensei to Kyo-kun's team, then?" The girl named Tenten asks the teacher.
"Yup," Kakane replies.
Tenten blushed a little as she asked, "C-Can you say 'Hi' to him?"
"Another one!" Jiraiya said with glee before getting punched by Tsunade.
"Tenten has a crush, too?" Ino asked with amusement.
"The Kyo fan club keeps growing," Temari observed with amusement.
"Even in other dimensions, girls fall for him," Anko laughed.
Kakane chuckles as she replies, "Sure."
Kakane walks to the training ground where Kyo always trains there. Then she saw Naruko, Satsuki, Sakura, and Asuka walking in front of her. Then they stopped when they heard countless booms coming from Kyo's train.
"Training explosions," Guy noted approvingly. "The sound of youth!"
"What kind of training makes that noise?" Kurenai asked with concern.
In a split second, they saw Ki blast down toward Kyo in the sky. He drops to his fighting stance and counters all the Ki blasts with a punch at high speed.
"He's firing Ki blasts at himself?!" Sasuke asked in amazement.
"Self-training with energy attacks," Madara noted with approval. "Innovative."
"The precision required," Neji observed with his technical eye. "Incredible control."
Kakane can't see his movement at all. Everything is a blur to her normal eyes.
"Even a jonin can't track his training speed," Minato observed with amazement.
"His development is exponential," Orochimaru noted with scientific interest.
Kakane sweatdrops and shock, 'He's fast, faster than before. Can this train's weight improve that much? As far as I know, Cutie can't use Ninjutsu. What was that?'
"She doesn't understand Ki," Kushina observed.
"The mystery deepens for her," Hiruzen noted thoughtfully.
Kyo finishes his training with a breath of relief. He saw the girls walking toward him. "Hi, everyone!"
"Casual greeting after insane training," Kiba said with amusement.
Sakura was amazed, "Kyo-Kun... that was awesome!"
As the other three girls narrowed their eyes at Kyo with anger, he immediately became scared. He tries to find something to make excuses for.
"Uh oh," Naruto said with sympathy. "The angry girlfriend squad."
"He's in trouble," Choji noted with amusement.
"Three angry girls," Shikamaru said with his characteristic response. "How troublesome."
Then the Saiyan boy saw Kakane behind them. "Kakane-Sensei! Good, you're here! Is my training item finished yet?" He is trying to dodge every glare from the trio.
"Using his sensei as a shield," Kakashi observed with amusement.
"Smart tactical retreat," Minato noted approvingly.
Kakane pulls out a scroll from her pocket. She put the scroll on the ground and unsealed it. "All done, here."
Kyo initially struggles, but he powers up and lifts it with ease. Kakane is once again surprised by Kyo's strength.
"He had to power up to lift his own training weights," Tsunade observed clinically.
"300kg each requires actual effort now," A noted with respect.
Sakura notices Kakane's face is shocked. "What's the matter with the bracelet and the shoes, Kakane-Sensei?"
Kakane looked at the pink-haired girl as she said, "Their weight is 300kg each, Sakura-Chan."
Sakura's eyes were wide open, same as Naruko, Satsuki, and Asuka.
"The revelation hits," Ino said with amusement.
"300kg each," Hinata repeated faintly. "That's... that's incredible."
"No way! Kyo-Kun, can I try to pick it up?" Sakura said as she wanted to try it out.
"This should be entertaining," Anko said with anticipation.
"Uh, sure, why not? I've got to warn you, and this is really heavy." Kyo handed over one of his bracelets to Sakura, putting the bracelet on his palm.
Sakura picks it up with a single hand, but it won't lift; even with two hands, it remains unlifted. She then uses all her strength to lift it off Kyo's hand, but only holds it for a second before dropping it to the ground, which cracks the surface.
"She could barely lift it for a second," Lee observed with amazement.
"With full strength and chakra enhancement," Neji added analytically.
"And Kyo carries this casually," Gaara said with respect.
"Sakura-Chan, are you okay?" Kyo asks in concern as he takes the bracelet with a single hand.
"One-handed pickup," Temari noted with amusement. "Showing off."
Sakura sighed as she said, "Yeah, I'm fine... It's just so heavy."
Kakane chuckled as she said, "Well, I will get going now. Don't forget, tomorrow morning, we have a mission. And Cutie, you can go to the weapon shop to add more weight to those items. Finally, Cutie, Tenten says, "Hi." She disappears with a Body Flicker.
"She delivered the message," Tenten said with a blush.
"More weight already?" Kurenai asked with concern.
Kyo notices Nauko, Satsuki, and Asuka are very silent, and finally, Naruko speaks. "Nii-chan... you think you can dodge our glare at you, huh~?"
"Here it comes," Naruto said with sympathy.
A demon mask appears behind her, Satsuki, and Asuka.
"The scary mother technique!" Kushina said with pride. "All three learned it!"
"Even Asuka?" Yuri asked with surprise. "When did she learn that?"
"The past chapter, remember?" Mikoto said with a smile as Yuri smiled, she remembered.
"Girls stick together," Anko observed with amusement.
Kyo sweatdrops, 'Oh no..... Satsuki-Chan has joined them too.....'
"He's doomed," Kiba said with sympathy.
"No escape now," Shikamaru noted with amusement.
---
One week later, they get bored with their D-rank missions, and that same day, Kyo asks Kakane if they will get an upper-rank mission.
"The classic genin complaint," Kakashi said with nostalgic amusement.
"Everyone gets tired of D-ranks eventually," Minato agreed.
"Kakane-Sensei, will we get a harder mission?" Kyo asks.
The blonde girl agreed with him. "Yeah, we tried chasing a cat or picking firewood."
"Cat chasing," Naruto said with traumatic remembrance. "The worst missions."
"Tora," Sasuke said with a shudder. "That demon cat."
Kakane giggled, "Well, if you say so, I will ask Hokage-same if you will get the upper-rank mission, okay?"
"She's accommodating," Kurenai noted approvingly.
Sakura jumped for joy as she said, "Yes! That is what I am waiting for."
Satsuki scoffed, but she was happy to have a high-ranking mission.
"Tsundere approval," Anko observed with amusement.
"Well, what were we waiting for? Let's go," Kakane said with a smile as she and others walked to the Hokage building.
---
In the Hokage Building, Team 7 enters the Hokage room.
"Time for mission assignment," Hiruzen noted with anticipation.
"Ah, already done with your mission, huh?" Hiruzen asks the Team.
Kakane nodded, "Yes, we are, and I want to ask if we can get the upper-rank mission."
Hiruzen smiled, "Why is the mission too easy for you?"
Kakane chuckled, "Well, I didn't say that, but Cutie here says he wants a more challenging mission," She said while rubbing Kyo's head, which made the male Uchiha blush.
"Still with the inappropriate touching," Yuri said with irritation.
"Professional boundaries," Kurenai agreed disapprovingly.
Hiruzen looks at the raven-haired boy as he asks. "Is it true, Kyo-Kun?"
Kyo nodded, "Yeah, it is true! Hokage-Jii-Chan! We want something more challenging, which is why we want to take the upper-rank mission."
"Hokage-Jii-Chan?" Hiruzen chuckled with amusement. "Such familiarity."
"He's got no fear," Naruto said with approval.
Sakura and Kakane were shocked, but she was at ease when Hiruzen laughed it off.
"The casual disrespect," Tobirama said with mild disapproval.
"It's endearing," Hashirama countered with amusement.
"Yeah, we tried chasing a cat. Can we get something that is more challenging?" Naruko said with hope.
Hiruzen looks at the white hair teacher as he asks, "Kakane, are you sure that your team will be fine to handle the upper-rank mission?"
"I believe they can. They are great ninjas after all... hehe... especially this one." Kakane said with confidence and giggles while rubbing Kyo's head.
"More inappropriate touching," Mei noted with disapproval.
"She's obsessed," Anko observed bluntly.
Hiruzen smiled, "If you say so, then your mission is to escort this man."
"Escort mission," Minato predicted. "Classic C-rank."
"Who was it?" Sakura asks.
Suddenly, the door gets knocked as Hiruzen says, "For your answer, Sakura-Chan, you guys will escort this man... Well, come in."
"Dramatic entrance," Kiba noted.
The man opened the door and saw four children, one adult girl, and the Hokage. He bowed to the Hokage, "Good Evening, Hokage-sama."
He is a drunken old man with an onion-shaped hat.
"Bridge builder look," Tenten observed.
"The client appears," Shikamaru noted analytically.
"Ahh, Tazuna, you come in a great time." Hiruzen greets the old man named Tazuna.
"Tazuna," several people repeated, committing the name to memory.
"Sorry for the interruption, Hokage-sama," Tazuna apologised.
"It's okay, well, you came at a great time. Team 7, they are the ones who will escort you back home." Hiruzen said while pointing at Team 7 members.
Tazuna looks for a second as he disbelieves, "These four kids? Are you serious? They look like they can't even handle a cat," He is mocking them.
"Big mistake," Naruto said with warning.
"Don't insult Team 7," Sasuke added ominously.
"He's about to learn," Gaara noted grimly.
Kakane tried to ease her anger as she said, "Tazuna-San, pardon me. My name is Kakane Hatake, and I'm sure my Team will handle it just right... These two are the rookies of the year." She points to Naruko, Satsuki.
Kakane continued, "This one is the one who got a perfect score in Chakra control." She points to Sakura. "And lastly, this Cutie has the super ability in fighting skills." She said while rubbing Kyo's head, making him smile.
"Professional introduction," Kurenai noted approvingly.
"Though the touching continues," Tsunade observed with exasperation.
Tazuna hummed as he said, "Hmm... I still didn't trust you... especially this kid." He points to Kyo. "You gonna be kidding me, right? "Super Ability In Fighting skill." What kind of joke is that? Hahaha!"
The room fell silent, the tension palpable.
"He didn't just..." Kiba said with shock.
"Nobody talks about Kyo like that," Naruto said with rising anger.
"This won't end well," Temari predicted grimly.
Naruko got a tick vein on her head as she yelled in anger, "That's enough, old man! Kyo is strong, and he is strong enough to beat you with a flicker of the wrist, old man!"
"Protective sister mode," Kushina said with pride.
Satsuki nodded, "Yeah, he is strong, and I will beat you if you don't shut your goddamn mouth!"
"Language," Mikoto said with mild reproach, though her tone carried approval.
"Yeah, shut the hell up, old man!" Sakura adds.
"Even Sakura's defending him," Ino noted with satisfaction.
Kakane is getting angry too; the old Tazuna dared to say to her precious student in front of her, "Tazuna-San, if you insult my student even more, you know your place!" She treated him with a death glare, Tazuna's sweatdrop from his face.
"Protective sensei," Kurenai noted approvingly.
"Finally showing proper teacher instincts," Tsunade observed.
Kyo sighed as he said, "Girls, please stop. I think he didn't mean to."
"Still trying to be diplomatic," Hinata said admiringly.
"Too nice for his own good," Anko noted.
Naruko shook her head, "No! He means to talk to you like that!"
"Naruko-Chan, stop this, please." Kyo sighed as he tried to calm his adopted sister.
Hiruzen also sighed as he said, "Clam down! Kyo-kun is right. Please stop this argument. Like it or not, guys will escort this man! Or you will have a D rank mission for three months."
"The ultimate threat," Naruto said with horror. "Three months of D-ranks."
The Girls give a glare at Tazuna as they say, "Fine... Whatever!"
"Unified glare," Shikamaru noted with amusement.
---
In the woods, Team 7 begins the mission to escort Tazuna, even though the girls don't look happy with it.
"Mission begins," Minato noted.
Kakane notices that there is mud, but the weather is clear. It is not raining, but it gets there. Kakane uses Clone to replace her, and she is hiding somewhere nearby. Kyo and the others didn't notice it.
"Smart tactical thinking," Kakashi noted approvingly.
"Ambush detection," Neji observed analytically.
Kakane Clone warns them, "Be careful. Something is not right here."
Sakura didn't notice Kakane replace herself as she was the Clone. "What is it, Kakane-Sensei?"
Suddenly, someone emerges from the mud, and the two of them, The Team, realise they are bandits; one of them stabs Kakane Clone.
"Ambush!" Multiple voices called out.
Kyo and the others were very shocked as Kyo yelled, "KAKANE-SENSEI!" He saw Kakane unmoving, lying on the ground as his right eye turned blue.
"Blue Sharingan activation," Sasuke noted with interest.
"Emotional trigger," Itachi observed.
"He thinks she's really dead," Hinata said with sympathy.
The Saiyan boy gives the bandit a death glare as Kyo rushes toward them. Grab one of them and slam him hard against the nearby trees, destroy the tree a second later, and knock the bandit out.
"Tree destruction with a single slam," A noted with approval.
"Incredible force," Gaara observed analytically.
The other Bandits were shocked. "What the hell?!" he tried to make his move to Kyo, but The male Uchiha dodged it, and Kyo countered with ease and delivered a single punch to the bandit with a side punch on the bandit's face.
"Combat efficiency," Madara noted approvingly.
And the bandit continued his attack, but it wasn't valid that he couldn't hit Kyo. The Uchiha continue punching again.
After the bandit gets hit by multiple hits, he gets tired and hurt. Kyo smirks and lets his guard down, and takes the last punch from an exhausted bandit.
"He's toying with them," Orochimaru noted with interest.
"Sadistic fighting style," Anko observed.
Kyo smirked evilly, "Shi'ne... (Die...)." He delivers a last punch that destroys the whole ground in a 10-meter area.
"TEN METER DESTRUCTION?!" Lee yelled in amazement.
"With a single punch," Tsunade said with shock.
"The power escalation," Minato observed with concern.
"GAHHH!" The bandit screams in pain and falls unconscious, and dies a second later.
"He killed him," Kurenai noted grimly.
"Lethal force," Tobirama observed analytically.
Kyo saw another one just about gaining his consciousness. Kyo walked toward him with a killing, tense aura around him.
"Killing intent," Kakashi noted with concern.
"He's lost to anger," Jiraiya observed worriedly.
The first bandit got scared of the 12-year-old Kid. "Get away from me! Please-Please, I will do anything! Please..."
"Begging for mercy," Hinata said with sympathy.
Kyo ignores him, and he is about to make another deadly punch.
"Kyo! Stop!" Kakane suddenly appears in front of him and grabs his arm and wrist.
"Sensei intervention," Kurenai noted with relief.
"Kakane/Sensei!" All of them shout at the same time, except for Kyo. They are all relieved that Kakane is safe.
"Relief all around," Mito observed warmly.
"Stop, Kyo... We need him. We need to get information from him." Kakane said in seriousness.
Kyo gained his sense back as he looked at his teacher and said, "Sensei... Kakane-Sensei! Thank god you're okay!" He hugs her, which makes her blush, and he has some tears in his eyes.
"Emotional relief," Kushina said with understanding.
"The hug," Yuri noted with mixed feelings.
Kakane chuckles as she hugs back. "Cutie, I'm far stronger than you think... Now, who sent you here!?" She asks the bandit.
"Information gathering," Shikamaru noted approvingly.
The bandit shook his head, "No! I won't tell you shit!"
Kakane smirked, "Is that so... I ask you once again to send you here..., or I will ask this Cutie to end your life right here..." She smiled under her mask and pointed to Kyo. Kyo looks at him with a death glare.
"Psychological warfare," Madara noted with approval.
"Using Kyo's intimidation factor," Anko observed.
"O-Okay-Okay, please! I will talk! Just get him away from me!" The bandit is trying not to let Kyo get any closer.
"Effective interrogation," Ibiki would have approved if he were there.
Kakane makes a hand sign, "Settle down, Cutie... Now talk!"
"We are demon brothers, and we are being sent here to kill the Bridge builder owner." The bandit said, still scared.
"Mission escalation," Minato noted grimly.
"C-rank to A-rank real quick," Kakashi observed.
"And who sent you here?" Kakane asks again.
"It's..." The bandit paused for a second.
"Who?!" Kakane demand.
"It's G-Gato-Sama!" The bandit got scared.
"Gato," several people repeated ominously.
"Gato, huh? Well, thanks for your information," She strokes the bandit on his head and kills him on the spot. Then she turns toward her student.
"Clean execution," Tobirama noted approvingly.
"Necessary elimination," Ay agreed.
Naruko was shocked when she saw that. She sighed, "Thank Kami-Sama. You okay, Kakane-Sensei?"
Sakura was shocked as she nodded, but she couldn't help but ask, "Yeah, but how did you survive that attack?"
Satsuki sighs. "You guys didn't notice yet? Huh?"
"What is it, Satuki-chan?" Kyo asks.
"That." Satsuki pointed to a wooden log.
"Substitution technique," Neji noted.
"Is that a wooden log?" Naruko asks the teacher.
Kakane nodded as she explained, "Yes, Naruko, it is. I use my Clone to replace me when I sense something is not right."
"Standard jonin tactics," Kurenai noted approvingly.
Tazuna sighs in relief, "Well, anyway, thank Kami, you're safe, so should we get moving now?"
Kakane nodded, "Yes, we should move now before that. Tazuna, you need to explain what actually happened to us because, from this point, this mission has already become an A-rank mission."
"Mission rank change," Hiruzen noted officially.
Tazuna sighs once again as he explains what actually happens to his country.
"Exposition time," Shikamaru noted.
---
As night fell, The Team decided to rest for the day and agreed to help Tazuna build the bridge as part of their ongoing mission.
"Mission acceptance," Minato noted approvingly.
The camp is not far from the river.
"Everyone, we need to camp here and rest for tonight. We will continue in tomorrow morning." Kakane said, eliciting a sigh of relief from her students.
"Camp setup," Guy noted.
"That's a good idea, Kakane-Sensei. My back hurt so bad." Sakura said as she dropped her bag to the ground.
Kyo nodded as he said, "Yeah, and I'm starving!"
"Saiyan appetite strikes again," Choji noted with understanding.
Naruko giggles, "I will cook for you, Kyo. Asuka-Chan has taught me how to cook."
"Family care," Kushina said warmly.
Satsuki smiled as she said, "I'll help you to Naruko."
They both soon prepare the cooking tool.
"Teamwork," Mikoto observed approvingly.
"Young man, can you come here?" Tazuna suddenly asks Kyo to come over.
Kyo looked at the old man as he said, "Yeah, sure." He goes closer to old man Tazuna as he asks, "What is it?"
Tazuna apologised, "Well... I'm sorry, young man, that I insulted you this morning. I just lost my belief in what happened to my life lately."
"Character redemption," Mito noted approvingly.
"Humility," Hashirama observed warmly.
"Nah, it is okay, Tazuna-san, hehe." Kyo giggles and rubs his neck. Then he hears Naruko call him.
"Forgiving nature," Hinata said admiringly.
"Kyo, can you get some water, please?"
"Sure, why not... Sakura-Chan, can you pass the bottle, please?" Kyo asks the pink-haired girl.
Sakura gives him the bottle, "Here."
"Thanks... Okay, wait, here I will be back." Kyo smiled as he walked away to get some water.
"Fatal decision," Madara noted ominously.
---
The mood in the viewing room shifted as Kyo walked away alone. Ryo's hands clenched into fists, while Yuri's breathing became slightly irregular.
Kyo goes to a nearby river to get some water, but suddenly he feels someone watching him.
"He's being watched," Neji noted with concern.
"Ambush incoming," Kakashi predicted grimly.
"Who's there!" No one answered.
Kyo checks his surroundings, but still, no one is in sight. Then he saw a shadow right beside him. Kyo turns his head to the sky.
"Sky approach," A noted tactician.
The Saiyan boy saw a human figure floating in the sky, slowly descending to the ground, which shocked him.
"FLOATING?!" Multiple voices exclaimed.
"Flight capability," Orochimaru noted with intense interest.
"That's not normal ninja techniques," Tsunade observed grimly.
Ryo's entire body went rigid, while Yuri covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide with a mixture of fear and pain.
Kyo is on his guard, watching the person in front of him, with a feeling he fought before when he was 5. He can see clearly because the person is standing right where the sunset is.
"Familiar feeling," Itachi noted analytically.
"Something from his past," Hinata said with concern.
"T-Taros..." Kyo just guesses that the aura of this person is almost the same as Taros's.
"He thinks it's Taros?" Sasuke asked with confusion.
"But we know Taros is dead," Naruto said with certainty.
Yuri's hands trembled violently, while Ryo's jaw worked silently, as if he were fighting not to speak.
The mysterious man said in a deep voice, "Wrong brat."
A collective intake of breath filled the room.
"Not Taros," Madara noted with dark interest.
"Someone else," Gaara observed grimly.
This person shows his tail to Kyo. "What a tail?"
"A TAIL?!" Lee exclaimed in shock.
"Like a monkey tail," Tenten observed with amazement.
"Same as Kyo's original form," Orochimaru noted with scientific fascination.
"So we finally meet, Tomarot." The mysterious man said.
The room fell completely silent. The name hung in the air like a death sentence.
"Tomarot?" Naruto asked with confusion. "Who's Tomarot?"
"That's... that's not Kyo's name," Sakura said slowly.
Yuri was now visibly shaking, tears beginning to form in her eyes. Ryo had gone completely pale, his hands clenched so tightly his knuckles were white.
"His original name," Kushina realized with growing dread.
Kyo shook his head as he corrected the man. "What? I'm sorry, but my name is Kyo. Not Tomato."
"He doesn't remember," Hinata said sadly.
"Lost memories," Neji observed analytically.
"Hehehe, HAHAHA!" The man suddenly bursts out laughing like a maniac while holding his head.
"Psychotic laughter," Anko noted with unease.
"He's unstable," Kurenai observed with concern.
"What!?" Kyo asks as he feels the spike of power grow on that man.
"Power spike," Ay noted grimly.
The man finally slowed down his laugh as he said, "Haha, Tomarot- Tomarot-to, you truly forgot who you are! You are truly unworthy to be born as a Saiyan race!"
"SAIYAN RACE!" The room exploded.
"Another Saiyan!" Naruto yelled.
"There are more of them," Madara said with intense interest.
Yuri let out a small, broken sob, while Ryo's breathing became labored. Several people glanced at them with growing concern.
"Saiyan?" Kyo asks, and he has no idea what is going on or what that man with the tail said.
"He doesn't know what Saiyans are," Tsunade observed with sympathy.
"Complete memory loss about his origins," Orochimaru noted.
The man scoffed, "It's useless to talk to you. I really didn't know why they sent a handicapped Saiyan to this Planet anyway."
"Handicapped?" Fugaku asked with anger.
"Sent to this planet," Itachi repeated ominously. "This confirms the alien origin."
Kyo had had enough as he demanded, "What the hell are you talking about!? And who are you?"
Then the sunset is finally gone as Kyo can see him clearly now.
The room held its collective breath.
This man had black hair with long bangs covering his half-face and tan skin. Black eyes, shirtless, long black pants with red cloth wrapped around his waist and twin blades, with a monkey tail attached to his bottom back, and multiple scars on the centre of his chest, abdomen, and right arms.
"Warrior appearance," Ay noted grimly.
"Multiple battle scars," Gaara observed analytically.
"Twin blades," Tenten noted professionally.
"I'm Asura, from the Saiyan race, just like you." The mysterious man named Asura claims to be of the same race as Kyo.
The name hit the room like a physical blow. But for Ryo and Yuri, it was devastating. Yuri let out a choked gasp, while Ryo's face contorted with a mixture of rage and anguish that he was clearly struggling to contain.
"Asura," several people repeated the name.
"Another Saiyan," Kushina said with amazement and dread.
Minato noticed Ryo and Yuri's extreme reaction. "Are you two alright?" he asked with concern.
Ryo could only manage a strangled, "We... we're fine," but his voice cracked with barely contained emotion.
"Saiyan race?" Kyo asks again.
"Enough talk," Asura said as he suddenly disappeared in a half-second. To the right front of Kyo, Asura put his palm on Kyo's chest. "Let's see how strong you have become, Tomarot-To." He fires Ki's blast straight to Kyo's chest, which explodes right in front of Kyo.
"DIRECT HIT!" Multiple voices screamed.
"Point-blank Ki blast," Madara noted with shock.
"He's trying to kill him!" Tsunade yelled with alarm.
"GAHH!" Kyo screams in pain as a loud sonic boom shakes the whole area of Asura Ki blast.
Yuri buried her face in her hands, while Ryo's entire body shook with suppressed rage and grief.

Meanwhile, Kakane and the others are shocked at the sound, and the ground shakes.
"The explosion reached them," Neji noted with concern.
Naruko looks at her teacher as she asks, "Kakane-Sensei! What was that?"
"Sister's worry," Kushina said with empathy.
"Are we under attack!?" Tazuna yelled, scared by a second sonic boom, which sent him crashing to the ground.
Kakane searches for Kyo, but he is nowhere to be found.
"Naruko! Where's Kyo!?" Kakane demands to know.
"He gets some water... Oh no..." Naruko said as she covered her mouth in shock.
"Realization hits," Sakura said with dread.
They saw Satsuki running towards the source of a loud boom.
"Satsuki, wait! Everyone, let's go after her!" Kakane gives them an order, and they give the nod and follow after Satsuki.
"Rescue mission," Minato noted.
The raven-haired girl was terrified, and she didn't want the same fate to befall Kyo, which is why she acted without hesitation.
"Love driving her forward," Mikoto observed with maternal understanding.

The screen faded to black, leaving the room in stunned silence. The revelation of Asura's existence and his apparent connection to Kyo's past - and to Ryo and Yuri's hidden pain - hung heavy in the air.
"Another Saiyan," Sasuke said slowly, breaking the silence. "And he knows Kyo's real name."
"Tomarot," Naruto repeated. "That's who Kyo really is?"
"Was," Hinata corrected gently. "He's Kyo now."
"The power difference seemed significant," Neji observed analytically. "Asura appeared much stronger."
"Did you see how fast he moved?" Lee asked with amazement. "Even faster than Kyo!"
"And the casual Ki blast," A noted grimly. "He's not holding back."
Madara leaned forward with interest. "This Asura... he's what a fully trained Saiyan looks like."
"The contrast is stark," Orochimaru noted. "Kyo, raised on Earth versus Asura, clearly raised as a warrior."
Tsunade was studying Ryo and Yuri with medical precision. "You two... You know something about this Asura, don't you?"
The couple exchanged a look of pure anguish. Yuri's voice was barely a whisper. "We... we can't..."
"The pain in their eyes," Kushina observed softly. "This isn't just about Kyo being in danger."
Gaara, with his understanding of hidden truths, spoke quietly. "Some secrets are too painful to reveal."
"But Asura called Kyo 'Tomarot,'" Sakura pointed out. "He knows about Kyo's past, his real identity."
"The question is," Kakashi said grimly, "what does he want with Kyo now?"
"Training wheels are off," Jiraiya noted seriously. "This isn't like fighting Taros. This is family business."
"Saiyan politics," Shikamaru observed. "How troublesome."
"Will Kyo even survive that blast?" Ino asked with worry.
"He has to," Naruto said firmly. "He's too stubborn to die."
Ryo finally spoke, his voice thick with emotion. "Asura is... he's not like the others. He's..."
But he couldn't finish, the words catching in his throat. Yuri reached over and took his hand, and they sat in silence, bearing the weight of secrets too heavy to share.
"The next chapter can't come soon enough," Temari said, voicing what everyone was thinking.
"Guardian-sama," Hiruzen requested politely, "might we continue? The suspense is rather overwhelming."
The Guardian's light pulsed ominously. "Very well. But be warned - the truths you've been waiting for are about to surface. Are you prepared for what Asura represents?"
Everyone settled back, but the tension remained. The appearance of Asura had changed everything, and from the look on Ryo and Yuri's faces, the worst was yet to come.
