On the lecture platform—
Asuma was passionately delivering his interpretation of the Will of Fire.
After that, Asuma went on to tell many stories about Kazuki.
From how he, a rebellious son of the Hokage, was personally guided by Kazuki—who patiently explained things to him and taught him the intricacies of Fire Release chakra techniques…
To how Might Duy, once a forever-genin, was discovered by Kazuki and became the first person to rise to jōnin through taijutsu alone—his strength unfathomable.
To Nohara Rin, who had no resources of her own but was noticed by Kazuki, who selflessly shared his knowledge and even used his Sharingan to teach her the Mystical Palm Technique.
Even Kakuzu, once a bitter enemy, had been persuaded and turned around by Kazuki's words.
And then there was Hatake Sakumo, wronged and framed by Shimura Danzō. In a time when no one in the village dared speak up for him, it was Kazuki who led the charge to clear his name—and even saved his life.
There were many such stories…
Stories that, even now in Konohagakure, only someone of Asuma's standing would dare to share with students of the Academy.
The strained history between the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha clan?
He told it.
The persecution of the war hero Hatake Sakumo by former Hokage advisor Shimura Danzō?
He told that too.
With Asuma, nothing was off-limits. Everything was up for discussion.
Because all he wanted was for these new generations of Konoha to understand just how great Kazuki truly was.
Still children, they sat wide-eyed, captivated by Asuma's vivid retelling of Konoha's former darkness—of how Kazuki, like a beacon of light, rose from his identity as an Uchiha and step by step earned the trust and support of so many.
These were topics even their parents wouldn't dare drunkenly ramble about at dinner.
Many students were swept up in the thrilling tension of Kazuki's legendary tales, cheering purely for the excitement of his exploits.
But the sharp-minded ones—like the precocious Uchiha Itachi and Kabuto—heard more than just heroic anecdotes. They absorbed the deeper meaning behind Asuma's words. In their young hearts, a quiet reverence for Kazuki had already begun to take root.
They understood better than anyone how difficult it had been for Kazuki to achieve all that he did…
And quietly, imperceptibly—a thread of destiny wound its way around Kazuki.
...
Below the lecture platform, Kazuki—currently posing as Uchiha Kai—grinned brightly.
As expected of Asuma. When it came to glorifying him, the man was unrivaled in all of Konoha. Combined with the clout of being the Hokage's son, it was practically unstoppable.
Those few lines had stirred the emotions of every student in the Academy, engraving the name Kazuki deep into their minds.
Kaguya listened, entranced, as Asuma continued telling Kazuki's story.
So this… was the way of mortals. A world where every step was filled with struggle. Even within a small village, there were so many factions—civilian, shinobi clan, and elite leadership—each with its own perspective and position.
Sealed away for a thousand years on the moon, Kaguya was utterly fascinated.
"How wonderful," she whispered. "I want to hear more!"
"Kazuki… so your circumstances before were even worse than mine when I was cast out by the Ōtsutsuki branch family…"
She murmured softly, "How incredible… to rise up from such a persecuted clan, to climb step by step to the top—and even unravel the contingency plans left behind by my descendant… Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo… You even tried to seal him away!"
"Just how strong must your shoulders be, to carry such a burden and still keep moving forward?"
There were stars in Kaguya's eyes now—like a starstruck girl seeing the male lead of her favorite romance novel materialize before her.
She had so much she wanted to talk about!
...
"Alright, that's it for today's lesson."
Asuma finished with lingering emotion. His expression then turned grave.
"The next class will be taught by a different ninja. You'll be learning the basics of chakra control and the Three Basic Techniques."
"Your homework is to prepare thoroughly in advance!"
...
"Kazuki, tell me more about what that bearded boy said about you earlier! I want to hear all the juicy details!" Kaguya said excitedly.
But Kazuki simply shook his head with a calm smile.
"No, Kaguya. You have homework to do."
Kaguya waved her hand dismissively.
"Pfft, easy. Just watch me!"
...
While Asuma was giving his lecture at the Ninja Academy...
Hashirama listened to Tobirama's story about Kazuki, then hugged his younger brother and burst into tears.
"Kazuki… truly is a remarkable Uchiha!!"
"We have to save him!"
"Kazuki… he truly is the kind of Uchiha I always dreamed of—one who holds boundless love in his heart!"
"You see, I told you, Tobirama! The Uchiha clan really is a clan of love, but you never listened…"
Senju Hashirama was sobbing uncontrollably.
Part of it was because Kazuki's background had been incredibly difficult.
In Tobirama's version of events, Kazuki had pretended to be the reincarnation of both Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna's chakra—primarily due to the early decline of the dovish faction within the Uchiha clan...
Under the control of Hiruzen and Danzo, Konohagakure had implemented severe repression against the Uchiha. Tobirama's establishment of the Konoha Police Force—a bloodstained role—had bound the clan to the village in an inescapable trap.
In such a situation, tensions between the Uchiha and the village only grew worse…
Within the clan itself, the dovish faction that sought peaceful reconciliation lost more and more influence, replaced by extremist hawks like Setsuna who seized dominance.
But Kazuki—young, idealistic, and devoted to Konohagakure as well as his family…
In the midst of this crisis, he could only turn to the wisdom of those who came before. He used forbidden techniques to successively summon the souls of Uchiha Izuna and Senju Tobirama—while enduring the intensely prejudiced gaze of a certain Second Hokage…
Step by step, through his own actions, he changed Tobirama's discrimination, united Konoha's various factions, and led the village toward a better future.
And now—
Whether it was Hashirama, hearing Kazuki's story for the first time…
Or Uzumaki Mito, who had taught Kazuki herself…
Or Tsunade, Hiruzen, Shisui, and the many others who had been close to him…
All of them now understood that the so-called 'reincarnation of Tobirama and Izuna's chakra', the theory of 'forbidden-arts creationism'—these were just subtle ideas Kazuki had deliberately planted into the minds of Konoha's leadership.
And yet no one blamed him in the slightest.
Because everything Kazuki had done… was for the good of the village.
If he hadn't posed as the reincarnation of Uchiha Izuna's chakra—
Then with the hawkish faction's overwhelming influence at the time, it would've been nearly impossible for Kazuki to quickly win hearts and minds or calm the fury of so many red-eyed Uchiha. He could never have stopped the outbreak of a major disaster.
If he hadn't posed as the reincarnation of Senju Tobirama's chakra—
He would've never earned the trust of Konoha's upper echelons. As a member of the Uchiha, he would've had no path into the Hokage's inner circle—no voice or authority to correct the village's already deteriorating political situation.
Was this something Kazuki wanted to do?
Of course not—it was Konoha that left him no choice!
He put his heart and soul into this performance, all for Konoha's sake!
He even sacrificed his own ocular power…
Thanks to Tobirama's analysis, Kazuki's Mangekyō Sharingan ability was now quite clear: it allowed him to replicate techniques—and even bloodline limits.
That's how he'd managed to impersonate both Izuna and Tobirama so perfectly, down to every tiny detail…
