The next morning at 6:00 AM:
“You're so hard to find,” Shisui said, looking at Kaida, who was lying on the ground, completely exhausted.
“Brother, you’re back! How was your mission?” Kaida asked while trying to stand up.
“Don’t you think this was a little excessive?” Shisui asked, helping Kaida sit.
“How long have you been here?” Kaida asked, circulating yang chakra through his body to aid recovery.
“Long enough to see you fighting 10 shadow clones alone,” Shisui said, shaking his head.
“I was trying to check my limits,” Kaida said shyly.
“And why weren’t you using the Sharingan?”
“Because I don’t want to be overly dependent on it. Initially, I used it while sparring, but when I tried sparring at the sa difficulty without it, my efficiency dropped by four tis,” Kaida explained.
“That just ans that even an underdeveloped Sharingan enhances your efficiency by 400%. And the more you train with it, the better it’ll beco. So don’t treat the Sharingan as a handicap,” Shisui said simply, sitting down beside him.
“Since the Sharingan increases my base efficiency, doesn’t that an this kind of training is still beneficial for ?” Kaida asked.
“Of course. Normal training is crucial. Without a strong foundation, even the Mangekyo Sharingan won’t help you. I’m just saying you should also focus on training your Sharingan,” Shisui replied.
“Okay, brother. But why are you here this early?” Kaida asked.
“Oh! When I got ho, I found Mom worried about soone’s well-being. So, being the responsible child I am, how could I rest? I had to find that ‘soone’ so Mom wouldn’t stress anymore,” Shisui said dramatically.
“But I already told Aunt that I’d be training using a soldier pill,” Kaida said doubtfully.
“And I’m an elite jonin strong enough to protect myself, yet she still worries every ti I go on a mission. That’s just how moms are,” Shisui replied with a smile.
“Right,” Kaida said, rembering how his own mother visited him at the hospital every morning, despite his constant pleas for her to rest.
“So, I know you’re not ‘feeling hungry,’ but how about we head back for a quick bite?” Shisui suggested.
“Okay, brother,” Kaida agreed.
As they walked ho, Kaida told Shisui about his eting with Fugaku.
“You lucky brat! For that many Contribution points, so of us jonin have to stay away from the village for weeks, sotis months. And you’re going to earn them so easily. The world truly is unfair,” Shisui said, shaking his head.
“Brother, I’ve been aning to ask—are you saving Contribution points for sothing?”
“Yes, I originally wanted to buy an S-rank jutsu, but now I’m saving for dicine for my eyes,” Shisui said.
“Are you having trouble with your vision?” Kaida asked, concerned.
“Not yet, but I had to use my Mangekyo Sharingan during a few missions, so my vision’s starting to blur. The clan head said it’s treatable and should clear up soon, though he’s overcharging for the dicine,” Shisui joked.
“Have you visited the hospital about it?” Kaida pressed.
“No, it’s not at a critical stage yet. I can still see better than a normal person. This is just a precaution to prevent problems down the line,” Shisui assured him.
“Are you sure? If you want, I can ask Sensei to check it out,” Kaida offered.
“You brat, I said I’m fine! Stop worrying,” Shisui said, flicking Kaida’s forehead.
“Okay,” Kaida said, rubbing his head.
By then, they had reached ho and entered together.
“Mom, I brought him back,” Shisui called.
“Welco back, Kaida. You’re going to eat breakfast, right? Then go take a bath first,” Hae said, wrinkling her nose at the sll of sweat from Kaida’s constant training.
“Yes, Aunt,” Kaida said and headed to his room.
After so ti, they all sat down at the dining table.
“Hey, how co you decided to train alone without ?” Yomi asked when she saw Kaida.
“You’re already training hard, Yomi. How could you make ti to train with ?” Kaida replied.
“Did you forget I’m not the only one training?” Yomi asked with a smirk.
“No, but I’ve exceeded my training schedule, so I can fit in more ti for this,” Kaida said casually.
“Show off,” Yomi muttered, focusing on her food while thinking, *‘Just wait, I’ll catch up to you.’*
Kaida turned to Shisui and asked, “Brother, can we continue our genjutsu training after you rest, or do you have more missions?”
“Nope, I’m taking so ti off. I already told the clan head before my last mission. We can continue your training after you’re back from the hospital,” Shisui replied.
“Just don’t overdo it,” Hae said, shaking her head.
After breakfast, Kaida and Yomi left for their respective destinations, while Shisui went to his room to get so much-needed sleep.

Kaida took a small detour to the training area.
*‘I could send shadow clones to the hospital for training... but that’d be disrespectful to Sensei. Still, I could use shadow clones to complete missions while I train there,’* Kaida thought.
He began making shadow clones, taking his ti since he still had an hour and a half before he had to go to the hospital. After making 60 clones with 15% of his chakra each, he made a final clone with 50% of his chakra. His plan was simple: the stronger clone would retrieve missions from the clan headquarters, and the others would complete them quickly. Then he headed to the hospital.
…
Kaida arrived exactly on ti. Mitsuru had instructed him to first learn the basics of treatnt from a nurse and study the first-level dical books, along with perfecting the poison removal jutsu. His plan for the day was already set.
Kaida approached the receptionist and said, “Good morning, ma’am. Sensei said to arrange for soone to teach the basics of treatnt and to provide with the first-level dical books.”
“Okay, just give a minute,” the receptionist replied and went to take care of it.
A minute later, she returned with a middle-aged man and introduced him: “Kaida, this is the chief of all the dical nurses here. He’s agreed to teach you. Chief, this is Kaida Uchiha, Mitsuru-sama’s student.”
Kaida bowed and said, “Good morning, sir. I’m Kaida Uchiha, and I’ll be in your care.”
“Great. I’ll be making my rounds in 30 minutes. You can follow today and learn by watching,” the chief said, then left, telling Kaida where his office was.
The receptionist added, “Since Mitsuru-sama has already booked a training room for you, I’ll send the books there so you can study them during your free ti.”
“Thank you very much,” Kaida said and went to the room where he’d trained yesterday. There, he made 30 shadow clones. Half practiced the poison removal jutsu, while the others waited for the books. With this, Kaida had almost reached the maximum number of clones he could create.
Kaida then went to the chief’s office and followed him on his rounds for the rest of the day. He watched the chief perform various tasks like plastering, bandaging, administering dicine, and checking civilians with minor conditions.
Kaida learned a lot from him while his clones worked hard on their respective tasks.
