"It is not a good idea to do this without others' sent," 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 tribution points.

  "Your room is F36, sir," she said, regaining her posure, indig her experience.

  "Let’s go, brother," Shisui said as he headed to the first floor.

  Upon reag 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 efficy of the room."

  "No problem. 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 e with 90% of his chakra. The rge 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, fused.

  "You’ll uand once you enter. You’ve got two hours; I’ll e back to get you then."

  Kaida nodded aered 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 trating there. Kaida uood the bes of this setup.

  He sat o and begaating, but soo unfortable. It was like swimming in a pool of honey instead of water—the chakra was dense.

  Deg to ighe disfort, Kaida tinued meditating. Wheried abs chakra as usual, only 20% of it was stored in his reserves.

  'So, this is what he meant by adjustments. I o take in less chakra and circute it loo fully absorb it. And as he said, this will also improve my chakra trol. Let’s get to it—I only have two hours.'

  Kaida started his new, modified meditation, pletely fetting the outside world.

  After two hours, Shisui returo the meditatioer to pick Kaida up. By that time, Kaida’s e and Yomi had already moved all his belongings to Shisui’s house.

  *Knock, knock.*

  Kaida opened his eyes, finding his clothes drenched i and his chakra reserves not only replenished but slightly increased—by about 1%. Given how much chakra Kaida already had, this was signifit. If it ti 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 mier, Kaida opehe door and found Shisui patiently waiting outside.

  "Sorry for the dey, 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 bae.

  On the way, Shisui turo Kaida and asked, "Do you know how to mask your chakra?"

  "No, brother."

  "Then you’ll o 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 sidered this problem and had po learn a teique from the library to address it, but it seemed like Shisui would be teag 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? ’t you see the things in the hall? Hurry up and put them in the rooms."

  "But whi should they go in?" Shisui asked.

  "Yomi is in the room o mine. Kaida piy room he wants."

  "Yomi, put your things in your room," Kaida said.

  "Is that how you treat a dy, Kaida? Go and pce her things in her room," Hae said.

  "Shishishishi," Yomi ughed in the background.

  In such a short time, she had already bee Aunt Hae’s favorite. Kaida smiled at the thought.

  "Okay, you two carry on, and we’ll do all the manual bor," Kaida said dramatically.

  "You know, you have a talent for this. Maybe I should add ag 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 ao the hall to plete their task. Kaida made a shadow e to help put Yomi’s things in her room.

  "Since you o choose a room, let me give you a tour of the house," Shisui said with a smile.

  After the tour, Kaida uood he 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, o, one dining room, a bedrooms.

  On the first floor, Hae and Yomi occupied their rooms, with one more room avaible. Kaida decided to take a room on the ground floor, o Shisui’s room, which offered a perfect view of the garden.

  Half an hour ter, everything was in its proper pce. The more Kaida used Shadow e Jutsu, the more he realized that while it might not be the most powerful jutsu, it was certainly the most versatile and useful.

  After anizing everything, Kaida sat in his room, gazing at the garden aing a little when Hae called out.

  "Both of you, e to the dining room! Lunch is ready!"

  Kaida headed to the dining room, followed by Shisui...
