"Whie? As you know, they e in various price ranges," the receptionist asked.

  ‘I’ve earned around 120k Ryo from the 30 missions I did. For now, let’s use it for Focus Pills,’ Kaida thought and asked, "Is there a soldier pill around 100k?"

  "Yes, there’s one for 80k and one for 110k."

  "What’s the differen their bes?" Kaida asked.

  "The 80k pill is good enough for elite jonin. It replenish chakra 6 to 8 times faster than the normal recovery speed, and it also boosts the body’s natural recovery for a while.

  As for the 110k pill, it gives the same bes, except the chakra recovery speed is 12 times faster."

  "I’ll take the 110k one," Kaida said, handing over the money.

  The receptionist nodded and gave him the soldier pill.

  After taking the pill, Kaida went directly to the training area in the Uchiha pound and ed it.

  As soon as he took the pill, Kaida felt his chakra pathways expand, and his body became ready to absorb chakra from his surroundings at a rapid pace.

  He quickly made 9 shadow es with 10 pert of his chakra, theated for 10 minutes. He repeated the process, making 9 more shadow es until he had created 80 in total.

  After that, he went to the Uchiha headquarters and took on 100 D-rank missions.

  "Are you sure? I know your track record for pleting these missions is good, but 100 is a little too much for you alohe receptionist in charge of missions asked.

  "I know my limits. If I ’t plete them on time, I always ask my brother for help," Kaida said.

  The receptionist remembered that Kaida was Shisui’s brother, so he nodded and assigned all the missions to him.

  After taking the missions, Kaida returo the training area, where his es were waiting. He created one more shadow e using 50% of his chakra and gave it all the missioails.

  "You’ll be in charge of submitting the missions and taking on more. Here’s my ID," Kaida said to the e. Then, turning to the rest of the es, he tinued, "As for you guys, plete these missions as fast as you . Once done, e to him and take more missions. Do this until your chakra runs low."

  The es nodded a off to plete the missions.

  With 10% of Kaida’s full chakra reserves, each e had the same amount of chakra as a in, which meant mission pletion would be very fast.

  Satisfied that his training resources were covered, Kaida returo the training area and created 5 shadow es. Three of them used the Transformation Jutsu to turn into swords.

  "Now, let’s focus osu," Kaida said as he picked up a sword. The other two es also grabbed swords.

  Sihey shared Kaida’s memories, they knew what he had in mind: a 2 vs. 1 sparring match.

  Kaida activated his Sharingan and got into a stance. His es took the cue and began attag him.

  Thanks to his already high defense and the power of his 2-tomoe Sharingan, defending against the two es wasn’t much of a problem for Kaida. After practig for an hour, Kaida said, "Warm-up is over."

  He then made 10 more shadow es, 5 of which transformed into swords.

  This time, it was 1 vs. 7, with Kaida aiming not just for defe also offeo be on the safe side, they didn’t use chakra flow, which could be deadly.

  After a 5-minute break, the sparring resumed. Fifteen mier, Kaida was standing alone on the ground.

  ‘Looks like I uimated the power of the Sharingan again. It was like I could see the future. After some more practice, their attacks won’t even touch me,’ Kaida thought.

  Even though he had won the sparring match, his es had mao nd a few hits on him. However, si was just training, they stopped before the attacks ected. If this had been a real fight, Kaida would have had 10 to 12 cuts on his body.

  ‘This is good practice. Let’s tihis until my brother es back,’ Kaida thought as he created 14 more shadow es.

  Once again, the sparring resumed, but this time, Kaida didn’t use his Sharingan. He wao see how much he relied on it isu.

  After half an hour, Kaida stood alone on the ground again.

  ‘This time, I almost took 40+ hits, which is four times more than when I used the Sharingan. I o foproving my kenjutsu without relying on the Sharingan, in case I’m uo use it.’

  Kaida tinued practig kenjutsu until midnight. However, his es, which had been pleting missions, began dispersing one by one. Kaida stopped his practid started meditating to avoid a headache from the ining memories.

  After half an hour, all of his es had dispersed except for the one holding 50% of his chakra.

  That e used the Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu to reach Kaida. Since Kaida had already received the es' memories, he had a rough idea of how many missions they had pleted, but he still asked for the report.

  "We pleted 240 D-rank missions, and the leader wants to meet you," the e reported.

  "Did we break any rules by doing the missions this way?" Kaida asked.

  "I don’t think so. If we had, the order would have been more serious," the e answered.

  "Looks like I’ll have to go there to find out the problem," Kaida said, dispersing the e.

  Using the Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu, he quickly reached the Uchiha headquarters. He approached the receptionist and said, "The head asked to see me."

  "He’s waiting for you in his office," the receptionist replied, pointing toward the stairs.

  Kaida nodded and headed to Fugaku’s office.

  ---

  *Knoock*

  "e in," Fugaku said.

  "You called for me, Fugaku-sama?" Kaida asked, bowing slightly.

  Fugaku nodded. "Yes. I wao ask why you’ve been doing so many D-rank missions. Acc to the reports, you’ve pleted around 300 D-rank missions. If you had dohat many k missions, you could’ve been promoted to B-rank," Fugaku said.

  "As you may know, I’ve pleted most of those missions with the help of shadow es. I selected D-rank missions because es easily hahem. Even if they fail, no os hurt. I ’t send es on k missions alone, since most are esissions, and if a e fails, someone’s life could be in danger," Kaida expined.

  "You still haven’t answered why you’re doing so many D-rank missions," Fugaku pressed.

  "The reason is simple, Fugaku-sama. I want resources for my training, and D-rank missions are the fastest way to earn them," Kaida said.

  ‘That may be true for you, brat. Who else has chakra reserves rge enough to do D-rank missions in bulk?’ Fugaku thought, sensing Kaida’s immense chakra.

  "So, you pn to keep doing D-rank missions?" Fugaku asked.
