Bab 85: Chapter 85: Meditation Room
"It is not a good idea to do this without others' consent," Shisui warned.
"I-I'm s-sorry, sir. I won't d-do it again," she stammered, a bit intimidated by Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan.
"It's okay, just don't do it from now on." Shisui deactivated his Sharingan and paid the 20 contribution points.
"Your room is F36, sir," she said, regaining her composure, indicating her experience.
"Let's go, brother," Shisui said as he headed to the first floor.
Upon reaching room F36, Shisui asked, "Do you have full chakra reserves now?"
"More or less, yes," Kaida answered.
"You should empty your reserve a little first; that way, you'll be able to feel the efficiency of the room."
"No problem. Can I use a jutsu here?" Kaida asked.
"Yes, but only if that jutsu won't damage the property," Shisui replied.
Kaida nodded and created a shadow clone with 90% of his chakra. The large chakra usage made his knees weak, and he had to sit for a moment to recover. Smiling a little, he said, "I'm ready to use the room now, brother."
"Okay. Just go in and try normal meditation. You'll have to make some adjustments as you go."
"What do you mean?" Kaida asked, confused.
"You'll understand once you enter. You've got two hours; I'll come back to get you then."
Kaida nodded and entered the room. As soon as the door closed behind him, it felt like the engine of a rocket had just started.
Activating his Sharingan, Kaida saw that a 1m² area marked as the meditation spot was growing more and more unusual. It appeared as if all the chakra in the room was concentrating there. Kaida understood the benefits of this setup.
He sat on the mat and began meditating, but soon felt uncomfortable. It was like swimming in a pool of honey instead of water—the chakra was dense.
Deciding to ignore the discomfort, Kaida continued meditating. When he tried absorbing chakra as usual, only 20% of it was stored in his reserves.
'So, this is what he meant by adjustments. I need to take in less chakra and circulate it longer to fully absorb it. And as he said, this will also improve my chakra control. Let's get to it—I only have two hours.'
Kaida started his new, modified meditation, completely forgetting the outside world.
After two hours, Shisui returned to the meditation center to pick Kaida up. By that time, Kaida's clone and Yomi had already moved all his belongings to Shisui's house.
*Knock, knock.*
Kaida opened his eyes, finding his clothes drenched in sweat and his chakra reserves not only replenished but slightly increased—by about 1%. Given how much chakra Kaida already had, this was significant. If it continued at this rate, he could potentially double his chakra in about 50 sessions, which would be massive for a 9-year-old.
Standing up, Kaida dried his clothes with air and fire chakra, using both simultaneously.
Five minutes later, Kaida opened the door and found Shisui patiently waiting outside.
"Sorry for the delay, brother," Kaida apologized.
"No problem. It seems like the meditation session was successful. Now let's head back. All your belongings are already at the house."
Kaida nodded, and both of them walked back home.
On the way, Shisui turned to Kaida and asked, "Do you know how to mask your chakra?"
"No, brother."
"Then you'll need to learn that along with Genjutsu. Showing your chakra in a fight is foolish—the enemy could just wait for you to exhaust yourself or analyze your chakra usage patterns."
Kaida nodded. He'd already considered this problem and had planned to learn a technique from the library to address it, but it seemed like Shisui would be teaching him instead.
After a short walk, they arrived at their house. Shisui entered first, and they found all of Kaida's belongings in the hall. They proceeded to the drawing room, where Yomi and Hae were talking.
As soon as they entered, Hae said, "Why are you two standing there? Can't you see the things in the hall? Hurry up and put them in the rooms."
"But which room should they go in?" Shisui asked.
"Yomi is in the room next to mine. Kaida can pick any room he wants."
"Yomi, put your things in your room," Kaida said.
"Is that how you treat a lady, Kaida? Go and place her things in her room," Hae said.
"Shishishishi," Yomi laughed in the background.
In such a short time, she had already become Aunt Hae's favorite. Kaida smiled at the thought.
"Okay, you two carry on, and we'll do all the manual labor," Kaida said dramatically.
"You know, you have a talent for this. Maybe I should add acting lessons to the things I'm going to teach you," Shisui said, patting Kaida on the back.
"Now hurry up, we don't have all day," Hae urged.
Both of them shook their heads and went to the hall to complete their task. Kaida made a shadow clone to help put Yomi's things in her room.
"Since you need to choose a room, let me give you a tour of the house," Shisui said with a smile.
After the tour, Kaida understood how large the house was. It was a two-story building with a 140-square-foot garden and a small pond. The house had one hall, one drawing room, one kitchen, one dining room, and eight bedrooms.
On the first floor, Hae and Yomi occupied their rooms, with one more room available. Kaida decided to take a room on the ground floor, next to Shisui's room, which offered a perfect view of the garden.
Half an hour later, everything was in its proper place. The more Kaida used Shadow Clone Jutsu, the more he realized that while it might not be the most powerful jutsu, it was certainly the most versatile and useful.
After organizing everything, Kaida sat in his room, gazing at the garden and resting a little when Hae called out.
"Both of you, come to the dining room! Lunch is ready!"
Kaida headed to the dining room, followed by Shisui...
