"Miss Chiri,"
Kaito finally visited the Great Hall of the Castle Tower guarded by Uchiha Chiri.
"Kaito."
Upon seeing Kaito, Uchiha Chiri imdiately made her presence known.
"I’m planning to make another trip to Konoha. Miss Chiri, would you like to join ?" Kaito directly stated his intention, "You haven’t left this place for a long ti, would you like to go out and see?"
"I understand what you intend to do." Uchiha Chiri looked at the young man with a gaze full of affection, "It should be done, at least we need to retrieve what belongs to the Uchiha clan."
"Miss Chiri, please don’t look at with those eyes, I’m already over twenty years old." Kaito felt sowhat uncomfortable, "So, Miss Chiri, would you like to go back with ? This might be our last visit to Konoha."
"Kaito has really grown up." Uchiha Chiri did not let him off easily, "I still rember the first ti we t, how cute you were."
"Of course. I was only three years old then, the peak of cuteness." Kaito shalessly accepted the complint.
"It’s also thanks to Kaito, otherwise, I would have dissipated long ago."
"Where, I am the one who should thank Miss Chiri for your companionship and encouragent."
"I didn’t do much."
As the topic reached this point, Kaito couldn’t help but recall the past.
It was an abandoned old house located in a secluded part of the clan area where three-year-old Kaito ran to avoid his father’s scolding. There, he saw a woman he had never seen before, standing in the house, enveloped in solitude.
"Who is big sister? How co I’ve never seen you in the clan before?"
The child, with tears still in his eyes, curiously looked at the woman, awakening her thoughts.
She slowly turned her head, didn’t answer, just stared blankly at the child’s clear, bright eyes.
After a while, her expressionless face strained into a smile.
The young Kaito didn’t mind, instead, he was happy to sense a bit of kindness and started talking to the silent ’big sister’ about his troubles non-stop.
Kaito’s birth had brought misfortune; his weak and sickly mother died from exhaustion after giving birth to him.
His father harbored resentnt, never looking at him directly.
Fortunately, there was an older sister in the family, over a decade his senior, who didn’t bla him for their mother’s death like their father did but instead was very compassionate towards him.
So, until that day arrived, he didn’t feel anything was wrong.
Anyway, he didn’t like that cold and rigid old man.
With his sister’s care, other kind elders in the clan, and a few good friends, he could live happily every day.
Everything took a downturn after he began trying to practice ninjutsu.
It wouldn’t have been much of an issue if it was just due to having too little chakra to beco a ninja, as there weren’t a lack of such individuals in the clan.
The key issue was that Kaito’s chakra-insulating physique was too rare, sothing that had never occurred before.
Because it was so unusual, everyone in the clan beca aware of this fact.
Since then, he began receiving odd looks from other clan mbers.
His friends stopped playing with him, preferring to mock him instead.
And the adults’ looks of pity or disdain made him fearful, nearly afraid to leave the house.
His father, Uchiha Shō, as a respected elder in the clan, couldn’t stand the sympathy and pity from others, let alone his son becoming such a well-known ’useless’ person.
So, he stopped ignoring his child and grew more hateful, scolding him now and then.
This was still moderated because Uchiha Mikoto, who had risen in status due to her engagent to the next clan leader, firmly protected her brother; otherwise, it would have been worse.
Uchiha Chiri was the only person who showed kindness to Kaito during that ti, prompting him to confide in her.
After their first eting, Kaito often sneaked into the abandoned house to spend ti with Uchiha Chiri.
Though the elder sister never spoke to him, he felt a long-lost sense of relaxation.
Over ti, Uchiha Chiri gradually changed.
Her expression beca less rigid, and her smiles more tender, much like the mother Kaito imagined.
Then one day, she spoke.
"Don’t be disheartened, Kaito," she gently told the boy in front of her, upset from seeing his friends practice ninjutsu, "You possess a power others do not, a unique talent."
"But I don’t have any talent, big sister, you don’t need to comfort ," Kaito responded gloomily.
The woman reached out to touch his head, "I’m not lying to you, because only you can see ."
"How is that possible?" Kaito was skeptical.
Uchiha Chiri softly said, "I have been dead for a long ti, now just a ghost. Are you afraid, Kaito?"
"No," Kaito shook his head vigorously, "Miss Chiri is so kind, even as a ghost she is a good ghost, she wouldn’t harm ."
"Is that so? You’re really sweet, Kaito," Uchiha Chiri smiled tenderly, "So, Kaito, there’s no need to envy others. You have a talent they never possessed. I was about to dissipate, but it’s because I stayed near you that I’ve recovered."
"Really?" Kaito’s eyes twinkled,
"I knew it, I am not worthless!"
Afterward, Kaito entered a new phase of life.
He beca extrely confident, no longer caring about others’ views, even believing he was destined for great things.
He proudly told others he could see ghosts, but apart from his sister, no one believed him, leading to many jokes.
From being deed worthless, he was now labeled a liar.
Despite this, Kaito was unshaken, continually believing in himself with encouragent from Uchiha Chiri.
However, as he grew older, he beca completely marginalized within his clan. Apart from his elder sister, Kaito, no one else paid him any mind.
Even though he was smart enough to see the clan’s awkward situation within Konoha, no one listened to him.
A person without power doesn’t have the right to be heard.
Kaito deeply understood this.
Although he believed in his talent, he couldn’t continue to wait aimlessly.
He planned to travel outside, knowing that talent without a thod was useless for gaining strength.
He had to find his own path to becoming stronger.
Fortunately, fate was on his side. Before he could embark on his travels, a butterfly spirit accidentally entered his dream.
From then on, he saw a whole new world.
Kaito, brought back from his mories by Uchiha Chiri’s unchanged face over the years, again suggested, "Miss Chiri, co with this ti. I might need your help."
"Alright," Uchiha Chiri finally agreed, "Maybe it’s good to make a final decision."
