Chapter 115: Kenjutsu Spar (Part 1)
“As you wish. Since you’ve already learned the Memory Extraction Jutsu, the next thing I’ll teach you is memory feeding and hypnotizing your opponent using genjutsu. So be prepared—tomorrow’s going to be fun,” Shisui said with a smile.
“Okay, brother,” Kaida replied.
“I had something to ask you about. Recently, I heard rumors about a young doctor in Konoha Hospital who’s treating civilians for free. Do you know about him?” Shisui asked.
“Yes, brother, I’ve also heard about him. Apparently, he’s super handsome and hardworking. Some people are even saying he’s the best medical ninja in the hospital,” Kaida replied with a serious look on his face.
“How can someone be so self-centered? You shameless brat,” Shisui said, smacking Kaida’s head.
“Now tell me, why are you doing this?” Shisui asked.
“I don’t have a big reason for it. I’m just learning medical jutsu for now, and I don’t have my certification to treat civilians yet. I’m only allowed to treat them under the supervision of experienced staff. Since those people are already helping me practice my basics, why should I charge them? That’s how I see it. Also, the amount wouldn’t be that much—just 20,000 to 40,000 ryo per day,” Kaida explained.
“40,000 ryo isn’t much for you? How?” Shisui asked.
“Because when I complete those D-rank missions every week, I earn 600,000 to 700,000 ryo. And currently, even that’s more than enough for me,” Kaida replied.
“Well, it’s up to you. But remember, being kind is admirable—just don’t let anyone exploit your kindness,” Shisui said earnestly.
Kaida nodded, thinking, ‘It’s not like I’m doing this out of kindness. I need to increase the Uchiha clan’s reputation so they don’t start planning a coup like in the anime.’
“So, what are you going to do now?” Shisui asked.
“Nothing much. I was thinking of using the meditation room today,” Kaida said.
“That’s great,” Shisui replied.
Kaida nodded, then went to his room. After resting for a while, he went to the dining area when Hae called him for a snack.
After lunch, he booked the most expensive meditation room, which only elite jonins of the Uchiha clan used, for four hours. Any longer, and he’d miss dinner at home. After creating some shadow clones and depleting his chakra, Kaida headed to the meditation room, while his clones went to complete some missions. Kaida decided to take a break from training for the day.
After spending four hours in the meditation room, Kaida returned home.
“Hey, Yomi, how was your day?” Kaida asked, noticing Yomi sitting in the hall, looking exhausted.
“Ugh, I don’t know why I asked my sensei to increase my training intensity. Thanks to my foolishness, my already hard training just got harder. But at least the results were worth it,” Yomi replied with a sigh.
“We have two years—you don’t have to push yourself so hard, you know,” Kaida said, thinking Yomi was overexerting herself.
“So can you kindly explain why you’re using a soldier pill every week if we have plenty of time to train?” Yomi asked.
‘Even though I said we have time, the reality is different. The number of events I know of where we could lose our lives is greater than you can imagine—the latest being the Uchiha massacre. But I can’t tell you that, can I?’ Kaida thought, then said, “Hey, I’m doing it because my training isn’t that hard, and I want to learn genjutsu. Wait—are you trying to match my training rate, thinking you’re doing less?”
“…No, why would you even think that?” Yomi asked, turning her head away.
*Tap.*
Kaida flicked her forehead.
“You silly girl. The reason I decided to train extra is because you train until 7 PM, while I only train until 4 PM. And even then, I’m not training that hard. Now you want to increase your training intensity? What are you trying to do, kill me?” Kaida said.
“Really?” Yomi asked.
“Of course,” Kaida replied, using the *Dao of Lies and Shamelessness* to make Yomi feel better and not push herself to match his progress speed. He knew that, no matter how much she tried, the gap between them would keep increasing. Right now, Kaida already had almost four times the chakra Yomi had, thanks to his bloodline and Sharingan.
After persuading Yomi not to increase her training intensity further, they enjoyed the meal Hae had prepared and headed to bed.
The next day, Kaida followed his usual routine until 4:00 PM. After treating many patients, he went to the training area, only to find Shisui waiting for him.
‘I’m getting a sense of déjà vu,’ Kaida thought, remembering the same thing happened last week.
Kaida took out the soldier pill he had bought before coming and ate it.
“So, are you ready for genjutsu practice?” Shisui asked.
“I’m ready, brother, but there’s something else I want to do before we start genjutsu training,” Kaida replied.
“What is it?” Shisui asked.
“I want to have a kenjutsu spar with you,” Kaida said. Since he had been able to hold his ground against many shadow clones easily, he wanted to know his power level against an elite jonin.
“Are you sure?” Shisui asked.
“Yes, brother,” Kaida replied.
“Alright, if that’s what you want. Let me get some blunt swords before we start,” Shisui said.
“Don’t worry, brother—I already have them,” Kaida said, pointing to the swords piled in a corner.
“Good job,” Shisui said, picking up a sword similar to his own. He then asked, “Do you want me to use genjutsu during the spar?”
“No, brother. I just want to test my level in kenjutsu, so let’s not use genjutsu during the spar,” Kaida said, picking up a sword himself.
