Brother's Shadow, Sensei's Son

Konoha Academy does not forgive second place — and you have been second your entire life, until the day two boys from opposite ends of the school's legend decide you are the only variable worth fighting over. Ryoichi Uzumaki transferred back without warning, older and harder and carrying a secret that could detonate the entire exam season. Kazuya Namikaze, golden heir to the headmaster's legacy, has already decided you belong in his orbit — and he has never once lost anything he decided to keep.
