Chương 231: Chapter 233: Three months
With sparring with Ryota and medical jutsu training at the hospital in the morning, fuinjutsu in the evening, and spending time with Yomi and Naruto during night walks, three months slowly passed. However, the effects of those three months were monumental in Kaida's life.
Firstly, he perfected every medical jutsu required to learn the Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu. He also learned every seal except for the last one—the complex array seal—which he had not yet perfected. Mitsuru firmly declined to begin teaching him the Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu until all of the basics were complete.
Due to that, Kaida decided to focus entirely on the last array seal. Now, all 30 of his clones were focused solely on the complex array seal, while his daily spars with Ryota were also in full swing. Although his taijutsu was still not at the same level as his kenjutsu, it was becoming more refined day by day.
The win-loss ratio against Ryota was now equal for Kaida. He was able to win quite a few matches against Ryota, but considering Ryota was not even at jonin level in taijutsu, it was not a major feat. Kaida was tempted a few times to go to Guy for taijutsu training. Considering he was now acquainted with Kakashi, getting along with Guy would be easy, but he decided to put that idea on hold until he learned the Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu—one thing at a time.
The bathhouse business was also in full swing. They tripled the size of the bathhouse in three months. After increasing the size of the bathhouse by three times, they stopped, because some of the baths were starting to be empty from time to time, meaning increasing the size any further was unnecessary. Hae bought all of the nearby land too. The area surrounding the bathhouse was transformed into a beautiful garden, enhancing the overall appearance of the bathhouse.
Hae was also planning on opening some shops nearby. The number of people visiting the bathhouse daily was not small by any means, and a shop that complemented the bathhouse would undoubtedly be great. They had still not decided which shop they would open first.
After a family discussion, they came up with three shop ideas: Beauty and Skincare Shops, Cafés or Tea Houses, and Nail Salons or Hair Salons. All of these were great, and in the next month, they would open one of the shops. The monthly revenue of the bathhouse was 8 million Ryo, which was the reward for some lower S-rank missions. Everyone in the family was happy about this except Kaida.
For him, this much money was not enough. With the plans he had in mind for the future, money would be a crucial part of them. But still, it was a good start, and with this, the initial fund for something very important could be gathered.
However, Kaida was becoming more restless day by day. There were many people he wanted to add to his ranks—people like Kimimaro, who could fight Gaara and Lee alone, and that too when he was almost dead due to his disease. Then there was Karin Uzumaki and her mother, who should also be alive at this time. There was also Haku, if he had not already been found by Zabuza.
The reason Kaida was getting restless was that in just half a year, Orochimaru would find Kimimaro, and in two years, Karin's mother would also die due to the overuse of her healing abilities.
If Kaida wanted these people, he had to take action soon. But the problem was that Kaida was still too weak. Yes, he was at Jonin level, but Kimimaro was in the Land of Water, and it would be very dangerous for an Uchiha to be spotted there.
But out of all the people, getting Kimimaro before Orochimaru was of utmost importance. Orochimaru was already too powerful; he didn't need people like Kimimaro, but Kaida did. Kimimaro had almost as much potential as Itachi. When he was brought back to life by the Edo Tensei jutsu, he was in a class of his own.
So, Kaida was planning on taking some missions to find Kimimaro first. Even though Haku was also about to be found by Zabuza, if given a choice, Kaida would definitely choose Kimimaro over Haku, because a Kimimaro trained by Might Guy would most likely be a Kage-level ninja.
The same could not be said about Haku. Though if he got the chance, Haku would also be added to his team. But for all this to happen, he first needed to learn the Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu. This would be a fail-safe if things went south during the missions. If all went well, Kaida should start learning it in a month.
...
"Good job, Kaida. Now try to make that array smaller. If it's that big, it will lose its purpose," Sora said.
"But sensei, if I make it any smaller than this, it will become unstable and disperse easily," Kaida asked.
"Yes, and you have to find a way to prevent that," Sora said. Even though he could teach Kaida how to do that, doing so would limit his future potential. A fuinjutsu seal master and grandmaster should know how to improve a seal according to the requirement.
"Okay, sensei," Kaida said, then began focusing on shortening the length of the array slowly. After reducing its size to 75%, the array became unstable and dispersed.
The array itself was nothing great; it was a simple concealment array formed using many concealment seals, but it was used to make a perfect concealment. With all light, sound, and smell concealed at night, no one should be able to sense the person inside this array normally.
This was the use of arrays—combining many seals into one singular structure that worked together to produce results greater than the sum of individual seals. Kaida could already see how this would be important for the Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu.
"Keep working on this. Make sure to reduce the size of the array by half while maintaining its stability," Sora said.
"Yes, sensei," Kaida said, then began practicing again and again. With him and 30 clones working, the progress rate was astounding, to say the least.
Sora nodded his head, then left to complete his array as well. He was at the last step on his way to becoming a grandmaster, and seeing Kaida making progress so swiftly, he was also motivated to complete his array as soon as possible.
Though Kaida was interested in the array Sora was developing, Sora said it was a surprise, and he would only tell Kaida about the array when it was fully completed.
With both Kaida and Sora practicing, one more day passed.
...
*(Next morning)*
Kaida woke up, completed his morning routine, and then went to the hall to enjoy some tea with his family.
"I will not come home for the next three days. I am planning on eating a soldier pill for training," Kaida said.
"Are you close to any breakthrough?" Shisui asked.
"Yes, brother, I think I will be able to master the last seal by the end of the third day for sure," Kaida said.
"Do as you wish then. Just make sure you don't overdo it," Hae said. By now, she had come to terms with Kaida's tendency to train super hard daily.
"Okay, Aunt," Kaida said.
