After pg everything in their rooms, Kaida was sitting in his room, gazing at the garden aing, when Hae called out,

  "Both of you, e out of your rooms, lunch is ready."

  Kaida went to the dining room, followed by Shisui, where he found Yomi helping his aunt pce the food oable. Since everything was already set, Kaida and Shisui sat down at the table to eat.

  "So, Kaida, what are your pns now?" Hae asked while sitting down.

  "Nothing, Aunt. Since I have nothing to do, I was thinking about going to the training ground to train a little..." Kaida trailed off as he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

  "Listen here, gentlemen," Hae said with a smile—ohat looked as normal as always but gave Kaida the sehat it was anything but ordinary. "Yomi told me you're a training freak. You train for 12 to 16 hours a day, is that correct?"

  "Sometimes," Kaida answered, gng in the opposite dire.

  "I won’t ent on how you've lived until now, but from now on, you’re not allowed to train for 16 hours straight under any dition. I know training is important, but enjoying life is equally important. I 't watch you all the time, and I don’t want to restrict your freedom,

  but this kind of training will have a ive impa your mental health as you grow up. You’ll miss this time, so try to enjoy it a little more." Hae’s smile now resembled the gentle, motherly expression Kaida remembered his own miving him when trying to expin something important.

  "Okay, Aunt. I won't train that hard, so don’t worry," Kaida replied.

  "Good. Now, eat your fill, a me know if you want something special for dinner."

  "No, Auntie, whatever you make is delicious," Kaida said, smiling as he ate.

  Hae smiled, then turo Shisui.

  "Yoing to stay for a while, right? I’m not allowing you to go on another month-long mission before at least two weeks of rest."

  "Don’t worry, Mom. I have a little student here I o teach, so I’m pnning to take some time off." Shisui said, pointing toward Kaida.

  "Oh! What are you going to teach him, brother?" Yomi asked Shisui.

  "Brother?" Kaida asked, fused.

  "Aunt said I call him 'Brother' and her 'Aunt,'" Yomi said, grinning from ear to ear.

  "Nothing too big. Some Genjutsu and basic chakra hiding teiques," Shisui replied.

  "Oh! I also learn this Genjutsu?" Yomi asked, sounding petitive.

  "I’m sorry, but you won’t be able to learn the same Genjutsu as Kaida. However, I teach you some different ones," Shisui expined.

  "Why ’t I learn the same Genjutsu as him?" she asked agaiermined not to fall behind. She knew Kaida was already strohan her and suspected that even if she, Ryota, and Kiba attacked him together, Kaida would still win. She didn’t want Kaida to bee so much more powerful thahat they couldn’t stay on the same level.

  "Kaida will learsu specifically for Sharingan users, and since you don’t have one, you ’t learn those. But don’t worry—with enough practice, regur Genjutsu reach a simir level to those teiques," Shisui expirying to be fair.

  Yomi uood, but it didn’t stop her from feeling petitive. She khat even if she and Kaida leareiques of equal power, he would eventually surpass her. No matter how hard she tried to train, she couldn’t match Kaida’s iy. What she didn’t know was that Kaida’s unique bloodline was not only strengthening his body but also increasing his chakra reserves. With the additional powers of the Sharingan, no ordinary ninja could keep up with his growth rate.

  She looked at Shisui and said,

  "Thank you, brother, but I’m going to focus on sensing and trag teiques for my specialization starting tomorrow. So I don’t think I’ll have time fenjutsu training."

  Shisui uood what she was feeling, so he added,

  "No problem, but you should still learn how to defend against Genjutsu. It’s an essential skill for any ninja."

  "Okay, brother," Yomi said with a cheerful smile.

  "Alright, enough about traini’s focus on the food," Hae said, redireg the versation. Everyone resumed eating while Hae chatted about small topics, like how the food tasted and what types of dishes Yomi and Kaida liked.

  After the meal, Hae announced,

  "You all go back to your rooms a, but don’t even think about training for at least an hour." There was no room fument.

  They all nodded, and Shisui turo Kaida.

  "When are you starting your specialization training?"

  "Oh! Grandpa told me to go to Konoha Hospital in three days, so hopefully, I’ll begin the day after tomorrow."

  "Okay, so we’ve got two days to get you through the basics of Genjutsu. If I’m correct, as soon as you grasp the basics to a satisfactory level, your Sharingan will evolve into a two-tomoe Sharingan."

  "How long do you think it’ll take me to learsu basics to that level?" Kaida asked.

  "For a normal ninja, learning even the basics takes about two to six months, but for a Uchiha, it usually takes oo two months," Shisui answered.

  Kaida nodded, eager to start learning. He’d been feeling a stant itg in his eyes, a strange sensation he couldn’t expin, but it felt as though his eyes were being more powerful day by day.

  "Now, go rest for an hour. After that, we’ll begin yenjutsu training. Yomi, you start after you’re fortable with your specialization training."

  Both of them nodded.

  Yomi offered to help Hae up, which Hae gdly accepted since she now had someoo chat with. Kaida also volunteered to help, but Hae deed, reminding him that he’d be training ter and o rest while he could. With no other choice, Kaida went to his room and took a short nap.

  An hour ter, Shisui knocked on Kaida’s door.

  "Kaida, it’s time to start our training."

  "ing," Kaida replied, waking up from his afternoon nap.

  The two headed out to the garden, as Genjutsu training wouldn’t damage the property.

  Shisui looked at Kaida and asked,

  "Now, Kaida, tell me what you know about Genjutsu."

  "Not much, just the basics they taught us at the academy, like how it attacks the nervous system and how our chakra flow gets disturbed. We break out of it by disrupting our chakra flow," Kaida expined.

  "Hah! It seems I’ll have to start from the very basics. Even though you’ve been taught about Genjutsu, all your knowledge is superficial—nothing practical. For instance, you’re already in a Genjutsu, and you didn’t even notice," Shisui said, then vanished into thin air, reappearing behind Kaida.

  Kaida was shocked. He had excellent chakra trol, so if even he couldn’t tell he was in a Genjutsu, normal genin and even some in wouldn’t stand a ce. The ability to appear behind an enemy without them notig was overwhelmingly powerful. Kaida was beginning to grasp just how formidable Genjutsu truly was…
