At the end of the third day, Kaida's clones were able to spar for 30 minutes before they got dispersed. Though the time may not seem like much, it was enough for them to avoid even a single scratch on their bodies. With two hours remaining, Yukihiro called Kaida over and said,
"Kaida, you have outperformed my expectations, and I am really happy to have you as my student…"
"Umm, Sensei, please don't say it completely—it sounds like a total death flag."
*Smack!*
Yukihiro smacked Kaida's head and said,
"Don't joke around and listen carefully.
Even though you've done great in training so far, and I'm sure none of your friends can compete with you in terms of strength, you're still nothing compared to a veteran ninja.
So don't get cocky and get yourself killed, okay?"
"Yes, Sensei."
Kaida had never once gotten cocky, as even though he had chakra reserves similar to a Jonin, his strength was nowhere near that level.
For example, if a truck and a motorbike have the same amount of fuel and they collide with each other, the motorbike will be thoroughly crushed, not the truck.
Even though Kaida had the same amount of fuel (chakra) as some Jonin, he was nowhere near their strength level. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.
"Sensei, how many shadow clones can you make at most?"
With a cheeky smile, Yukihiro answered,
"I can make 85-plus shadow clones at a time."
"Can every Jonin make that many shadow clones?"
"If you want to compare your chakra reserves to theirs, no. Many can make 40 at most. Some Jonin can only make 25-30, but they shouldn't be underestimated. Their strength lies in different areas than just chakra reserves.
As for your father, he had so much chakra that he could easily make 150 shadow clones. He should have been promoted to Jonin, but due to some clans, he was held back. Hah!"
Listening to his father, Kaida felt a bitter twinge, but he was sure the clan Yukihiro was talking about was the Uchiha clan. Knowing that his father was so strong made Kaida very happy, and a desire to surpass even his father emerged within him.
"Anything else you want to ask?"
"Sensei, will you teach me again after your mission, or is this our last training session?" Kaida asked.
"Well, you can always ask me any questions you have whenever I'm in the village. As for training like this, it will be difficult because Lord Hokage keeps giving me one mission after another since our village is currently lacking in ninja population.
But nobody knows the future, so let's see what happens.
Anything else?"
"No, Sensei."
"You don't want to learn the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu?"
"No, Sensei. When I can land a hit on you, then I'll learn that jutsu. That was the deal, and I'll follow it."
"Hahaha, great! Now come here and take off your shirt."
Kaida watched Yukihiro with suspicious eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, brat. I don't swing that way. I have something for you."
Kaida nodded and took off his shirt. Yukihiro took out a seal from his pocket and placed it on Kaida's back.
"Now, pass your chakra into the seal and don't resist the mental pull you'll feel."
"Yes, Sensei."
If anyone other than Yukihiro had said that to Kaida, he would have run away. But he had started to trust Yukihiro, so he did as he was told.
Slowly, the seal dissolved into his back. Kaida could feel in his mind that he now had control over the seal. Confused, he looked to Yukihiro for an explanation.
"This is a training seal. Since you're still in your growing phase, you shouldn't use weights for your training, as it may hinder your growth.
That's where this seal comes into play. You can increase gravity on your body, making it feel like you're carrying some weight around.
The max weight this can produce is 350kg, but you'll have to start with 10kg and gradually increase the weight day by day while doing physical exercise. You can control the weight with your mind—just channel your chakra into the seal, and you can adjust it. This will help you get stronger. It's my parting gift for you."
Though Kaida was mostly unaware of the market value of the seal, he knew it was costly.
"Sensei, how much did it cost?"
"You don't have to worry about that, brat. When your elder gives you something, just accept it.
Now, why don't we go out to eat?"
"No, wait, Sensei, I'll also prepare a parting gift for you."
"Haha, okay."
Kaida quickly made 10 clones and sent them to his house. They used the Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu to get there. After half an hour, one of Kaida's clones dispersed.
Kaida was listening to stories about different missions Yukihiro had gone on when he received the memory and said,
"Sensei, it's ready. Please come with me."
They both made their way to Kaida's house. Yukihiro was surprised to see what Kaida had prepared.
He had made many dishes for them, including steak, burgers, pudding, biryani, and even beer for Yukihiro.
"You can cook?" Yukihiro asked.
"Yes, Sensei, I learned a little."
Since both of them were hungry, they started eating. After 10 minutes, the bell rang. One of Kaida's clones went to answer it.
"Hey! How dare you eat alone, you bastard! I was waiting for you to call me, you scoundrel—" Yomi's curse came to a sudden halt when she saw that Yukihiro was also sitting there.
"Hahaha, we're sorry for not calling you earlier. Please, come join us," Yukihiro said.
With a face as red as a ripe tomato, Yomi sat on the same side as Kaida.
"Now that I think about it, are you guys planning on getting married?"
Yomi's face somehow turned even redder. She looked to Kaida for an answer.
Kaida, with a similar blush, said,
"Is the beer affecting your mind, Sensei? How can you ask such things to children?"
"Hey, you guys are now Genin. Though you're younger, you're considered adults in the ninja world. While no one usually marries at such a young age as it may hinder future growth, no one can stop you if you want to."
**Author's Note (A.N.):** If anyone doubts this, think about it: Genin can kill on their missions, but you think they can't marry because they're too young? Of course not. If they're allowed to kill, then who's going to stop them from being with someone they love?
"But if you think otherwise, feel free to share your thoughts. :P"
Yukihiro said while drinking beer from his cup.
Seeing that no one was going to reply, he continued,
"Well, it depends on you guys. But since your training is now over, report to Lord Hokage the day after tomorrow, okay?"
Both of them nodded their heads without saying anything.
After that, they finished their meal, and Yukihiro left after another farewell.
Yomi left for her house without saying anything. Kaida, too, was tired and fell asleep after thinking for a while about what Yukihiro had said.
After sleeping for 22 hours, Kaida woke up at 3 AM. Without wasting any time, he headed toward his previous training location to try out the new seal he had been given.
