Capítulo 118: Chapter 118: After One Month
"Hurry up, Mom must be waiting for us," Shisui said.
Both of them went back to eat breakfast, and afterward, Kaida returned to the hospital to treat more patients, working until 4 PM. Today marked the last day of the soldier pill's effect. Fortunately, with the help of 75 shadow clones for over 50 hours, Kaida had already completed 2000 D-rank missions.
After receiving his reward for completing the missions, earning 40,000 contribution points, Kaida decided to focus solely on kenjutsu training. He left 10 shadow clones to practice genjutsu, while the remaining 75 clones began practicing Uchiha-style offense and defense techniques.
Kaida himself sparred with five of his shadow clones, focusing mainly on defense. After 12 hours of non-stop training, he began to grasp the technique Shisui had been teaching him.
At 4 AM, Shisui arrived at the training area and found Kaida's clones engaged in intense practice. Kaida noticed his arrival and dispersed the clones before walking over.
"Looks like you're taking this seriously," Shisui said, observing Kaida.
"Yes, brother. This is much harder than it looks. Blocking an attack doesn't require much technique, but this form of defense is far more complex," Kaida replied.
"Exactly. That's why it can be trained to a much higher level than regular blocking," Shisui said.
Without further discussion, they began sparring. By the time their training ended, the soldier pill's effect was nearly gone, so they returned home. There, Hae had prepared a massive meal for Kaida. After eating to the point where his stomach resembled a balloon, Kaida went to his room for some much-needed sleep, resting for 20 hours straight.
…
With nothing new to learn, Kaida settled into a repetitive routine: spending his mornings at the hospital from 7 AM to 4 PM, then training in either kenjutsu or genjutsu into the night. Every day, he consumed spiritual resources like focus pills, spiritual empowerment tonic, and harmony restoration elixirs three days a week. On the fourth day, he would take a soldier pill and train intensely while completing 2000 D-rank missions.
This cycle continued for three weeks.
…
Clank, clash, clang.
The sounds of steel echoed in one of the Uchiha clan's training areas, where two figures darted back and forth at blinding speed, appearing in one spot for a second before vanishing to another. After 30 minutes of fighting, they finally stopped. Shisui's sword rested on Kaida's neck.
"Looks like I win again. That's 92 wins for me and 0 losses," Shisui said.
"As if I can compete when you're using your signature body flicker jutsu," Kaida grumbled.
"This gives you experience. Do you think your enemies will only use kenjutsu in a fight?" Shisui asked.
"Not at all. That's why I agreed to this. But can you stop counting your wins? It's getting a little embarrassing," Kaida said.
"Nope. It'll motivate you to try harder," Shisui replied with a mischievous grin, clearly enjoying himself.
"Fine, do as you wish. We should head back now; the soldier pill's effect is about to wear off," Kaida said.
"Yep, let's go. I need to update Yomi on our new score," Shisui said, his grin widening.
Kaida shook his head, using the wind instantaneous movement jutsu to return home. Shisui followed suit with his body flicker jutsu. Yomi was waiting in the hall when they arrived.
"What's the score, brother?" Yomi asked.
"What do you think?" Shisui teased.
"92 wins and 0 losses," Yomi guessed.
"Correct," Shisui said proudly.
"Can you two leave him alone?" Hae said, coming toward them.
"At least Aunt's on my side," Kaida said, acting pitiful.
"Shisui, no dinner for you tonight," Hae said sternly.
"I shouldn't have taught him to act. Now he's using it against me," Shisui sighed, shaking his head.
Yomi wisely chose to stay quiet, not wanting to face any punishment like her brother. They ate the meal Hae prepared, except for Shisui, who was stuck with bread and milk for dinner.
Afterward, Kaida went to his room for more rest and slept for 18 hours. Thanks to consuming various resources, his physical and mental stamina had greatly improved, meaning he no longer needed 24 hours of sleep after using a soldier pill—just 18 hours was enough.
Kaida woke up at 2 AM and decided to meditate until it was time for his next sparring session with Shisui. By the end of that session, the score had updated: Shisui 93, Kaida 0.
"Why are you keeping count? Is there even a chance I'll defeat you?" Kaida asked in frustration.
"Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? Just a month ago, you didn't even know how to attack properly. Now I have to use my Sharingan just to deflect your strikes. If anyone heard you complain about your progress, they'd beat the crap out of you," Shisui said.
"But I still haven't managed to land a hit on you after a whole month," Kaida said, exasperated.
"I don't want to brag, but do you know how many people across the five great ninja villages can land a hit on me in kenjutsu alone?" Shisui asked.
Kaida remained silent, unsure of the answer.
"Less than 10," Shisui said, ruffling Kaida's hair. "And you want to be at that level in just one month?"
"No... but I will be someday," Kaida replied with determination.
"I have no doubt. Now, let's go home," Shisui said.
The two headed back home for breakfast. Afterward, Kaida went to the hospital while an Anbu operative, who had been watching him, reported to Hiruzen with the final update.
