Hiruzen initially wanted to read Kaida's memories to check if he was hiding something, but he quickly discarded the thought. Reading memories can be dangerous and harmful to a person mentally.

Kaida had now become too valuable to risk losing, and Hiruzen didn't want to jeopardize such a powerful card.

While Hiruzen was pondering this, Kaida and Yukihiro arrived at the training area, though they hadn't yet started their training.

"Kaida, I think we need to change our plan now. Since you have access to a chakra metal sword, we need to start different training," Yukihiro said.

"You're going to teach me chakra flow now?" Kaida asked, his eyes practically glowing with excitement.

"Yes, but chakra flow is quite deadly, so you won't be doing the training yourself. We'll sit and watch your clone practice while I guide you on how to correct any mistakes it makes."

Kaida nodded, too excited to argue. Chakra flow had become too powerful in his mind, to ignore, especially with his fire chakra.

Kaida quickly made 24 shadow clones, and half of them used the Transformation Jutsu to become swords—needless to say, chakra metal swords.

But this time, their design was different from Yukihiro's sword. It was based on memories from his previous life, from a game he used to play as a child.

A completely black sword with a wavy pattern, truly a beauty.

Even Yukihiro was impressed by the sword. He took one and passed his fire chakra through it. Not seeing any problem with the sword heck it was even better than his sword, since he wasn't able to afford to have pure chakra metal sword, and only had one made up of alloy

While Kaida's sword also a copy of alloy one, the chakra flow was better due to lower number of irregularity which arise during mixing 2 metal, Yukihiro used that sword for 5 minute to perform various slash and then they moved on to the next phase of the training.

Each of Kaida's clones picked up a sword and began trying to pass fire chakra through it. This wasn't very difficult due to their constant training during fire chakra control exercises.

The real problem started during their sparring session. Just a small scratch or even a graze from the sword would disperse the clone.

It got to the point where, within just 10 minutes, only six clones remained. Since Kaida only had eight hours before the effects of the soldier pill would wear off, he continuously made new clones one by one for seven hours. Finally, Yukihiro stopped him from continuing any further.

Kaida returned home, eating four times his usual serving due to the extreme exhaustion he felt this time. After a solid 22-hour sleep, he woke up feeling as fresh as a daisy. For the first time, Kaida woke up with a peaceful smile instead of the usual urgency to train.

When he first came into this world, he was extremely happy at the prospect of living a life free of the constant pain that haunted every second of his previous life.

But living a normal life was never an option in the ninja world. If you don't have the power to protect it, you could be sacrificed for the 'greater good', and you're supposed to feel happy about that.

F**k that.

But if you have enough power, nothing can stop you from living the way you want.

Though he hasn't reached that level of power yet, Kaida had gained something more—he had become important to Konoha.

Now, at least, he didn't have to worry about Konoha's higher-ups screwing over his life anymore... not openly at least

As for power, he could now see that if he continued his training at this pace, he could reach Jonin level in three to four years at most.

Sorting out his thoughts, Kaida got up from his bed and once again sent his clone shopping. After having a hearty breakfast with Yomi, they returned to training.

Yomi had also completed her elemental training, and she would take a soldier pill today so she could learn five elemental jutsu in the three days she had with her sensei.

Upon reaching the training area, Kaida wasn't surprised to find Yukihiro waiting for him. Recently, their bond had deepened. Before, Kaida would train on his own and only talk to Yukihiro after completing his training.

Now, things were different. Yukihiro was actively teaching him, and due to the miraculous effects of the soldier pill, Kaida had almost spent a year with Yukihiro by the end of 15 days, if you took the clone memories into account.

No doubt, ninjas grow up fast due to chakra—their bodies mature quickly and remain in their prime for a long time. As for mental age, Kaida thought he was already 14-15 years old, considering the time his clones were active.

This thought was a little frightening.

For the next three days, Kaida kept creating new clones to practice chakra flow. Since they couldn't even afford a single scratch on their bodies, the clones were developing extreme defense. Their offense was already high due to fire chakra flow.

As stated previously, no other elemental chakra is as destructive as fire chakra. Slowly, Kaida was becoming a very scary opponent in kenjutsu, without even realizing it.

At the end of the third day, Kaida's clones were able to spar for 30 minutes before dispersing. Though the time may not seem much, during that period, they didn't even get a scratch on their bodies. When only two hours remained, Yukihiro called Kaida over and said…
