Seeing the time, Kaida got ready ao the dining area for breakfast. Yomi and Hae were already there. Seeing Kaida, Hae spoke, "What happened, Kaida? Why were you in the garden so early this m?"

  "Aunty, I took the Focus Pill yesterday, so I wao see its effects," Kaida replied holy.

  "How did you get that pill? If I remember correctly, you would need around 300 tribution points for that, and you've only been with the for three days. Did Shisui buy it for you?" Hae asked worriedly.

  "No, I earhe points myself. I did some D-rank missions with the help of my es and was able to get those tribution points. But why are you so worried?" Kaida asked.

  "Oh, it's nothing," Hae said, trying to act like she wasn't worried.

  Kaida grew a little suspicious.

  'There's something they're hiding from me, and it's reted to my brother. He's a Jonin and mostly does A-rank missions, which reward 3000 tribution points each. So how was he low on tribution points when he showed me the resources room? I know 200 tribution points is a big amount, but it shouldn't be much for him. The only thing I guess is that there's something ridiculously expensive my brother needs from those points,' Kaida thought, deg to leave the matter aside for now and wait for them to tell him.

  Yomi, unaware of everything, asked, "What is this medie you're talking about?"

  "Oh, you don't know? Actually, just like the Hokage's office, you do missions for the too, but only if you're a part of it. When you plete those missions, you not only get money but also something called tribution points, which be used to get various resources. The Focus Pill is one of those resources. The receptionist said it would help me utilize my Sharingaer," Kaida expined.

  "Oh! Does that mean I 't do those missions et those resources?" Yomi asked.

  "From what I know, you o be part of the to do those missions. Also, many of the resources won't even work on you. But for those that will, I get them for you," Kaida offered.

  "No, I don't want to rely on your help every time I need something. I want to increase my strength by myself," Yomi said.

  "You know, there is a way Yomi do those missions without being part of the Uchiha ," Hae said.

  "Really?" Yomi asked.

  "Yes, but you'll have to wait for Shisui to e back. He knows more about it than I do," Hae replied.

  "Oh, okay," Yomi said.

  After eating breakfast, Kaida and Yomi headed toward their respective destinations. Kaida was quite early, as it was only 7:10 AM and the hospital didn't open until 8 AM. His sensei usually arrived at 8:15 AM, so he had around an hour. He could use the Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu and Body Flicker Jutsu to get there in just 10 minutes, but the reason he was early was that…

  'I won't have much time for physical training now, so I'll train whenever I get the ce,' Kaida thought.

  He activated the weight seal to 100 kilograms and started running toward the hospital. Running, especially with extra weight, was a great exercise to develop full-body muscles and endurance. Despite the challenge, Kaida was used to intense workouts, so it wasn't too hard for him. However, this time was different. He wasn't flowing normal chakra through his body but Yang chakra, and he kept the ratio at 70:30, with 70% Yang chakra.

  This helped him increase his strength, trol over Yang chakra, and rebuild muscles torn from the weight training. After running for 50 minutes, Kaida was still some distance away from the hospital, so he deactivated the weight seal and used the Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu to reach his destination.

  Seeing the hospital still closed, Kaida thought, 'That was a good workout. I'll do the same on my way back, and train while my e hahose D-rank missions.'

  His pn was solid, but Kaida hadn't sidered how much chakra he'd o use for the Shadow es.

  After some time, the hospital opened, and Kaida headed straight to Mitsuru's office, sitting in the chairs outside. After 15 minutes of waiting aating, Mitsuru finally arrived.

  "Good m, Sensei," Kaida greeted.

  "Oh! How long have you been here?" Mitsuru asked while unlog her office door. "e inside."

  Kaida ehe office.

  "As you see, I have a mountain of paperwork to do. How will I ever find time to teach you?" Mitsuru said dramatically.

  "Sorry, Sensei, but I've been w since yesterday—why don't you use Shadow es to finish all this paperwork quickly?" Kaida asked.

  "You have a sharp mind, but ck experience. If I finish all the paperwork quickly, it's not like I'd get free time. I'd just get more work. Plus, when I dispel the Shadow es, the mental fatigue trao me," Mitsuru expined.

  Kaida now uood why such a ve jutsu wasn't used by all the leaders in Konoha.

  "But don't worry. Now that I've accepted you as my disciple, I won't promise on your training," Mitsuru said, and then *poof*—a Shadow e appeared in the room.

  Kaida thought the e would be teag him, and he was fih that since his progress would depend on his own effort. But to his surprise, the e went to the desk and started doing the paperwork.

  "What are you waiting for? Let's go," Mitsuru said as she walked out of the office.

  Kaida quietly followed her. Instead of heading toward the area with injured patients, Mitsuru led him to a differeion of the hospital.

  "This is the area where trainees practice. I've booked a room for us so that no one disturb our training," Mitsuru expined.

  "Oh! We're training ihe hospital? I thought we were going to use a training area," Kaida asked.

  "Why would we? Medical jutsu isn't destructive—at least, not in most cases. We easily train here. Also, training in medical jutsu isn't as simple as other types of training. You need various resources to train properly," Mitsuru replied.

  They ehe room Mitsuru had booked, which was rger than maure halls in uies. She poio a chart on the wall and said, "You'll start by learning these basic jutsu."

  Kaida looked at the chart ahe descriptions:
