Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Chapter 57: Preparation for missions

Yukihiro saw All member of team 13 in front of him especially Kaida, who looked much more relaxed and 'mature?', completely opposite of the gloomy version Yukihiro had last seen yesterday

"Kaida, are you fine now?" Yukihiro asked.

"Yes, sensei."

"Good. As you may know, Kaida has already had his first kill, which is a very important part of a ninja's life. We kill people not to show our power or superiority, but to protect those we care about and love.

You might not know, but there are many bandit camps like the one Kaida just cleared in the Land of Fire. Due to our lack of ninja, we're short on manpower to remove them, and some other villages are using this as a chance to weaken our village's economy.

This is a top secret, and you are not allowed to share it with anyone else. The reason I'm telling you is that I plan on taking every bandit extermination mission available in Konoha from now on, as it will be like killing two birds with one stone.

If any of you have an objection, you can tell me now."

(A.N: top secret, to not cause stress among civilians)

Though Ryota and Yomi were a little terrified by the idea of killing someone, they understood why they had to do it. Unlike Kaida they didn't had the moral compass of someone from a peaceful world, and in this world Killing someone was not too unnatural even for civilian let alone ninjas, there main job was killing

"No, sensei, we don't have any objections," Ryota said, and Yomi nodded.

Kaida was still thinking. But after a sec he asked

"Sensei, when will we have to depart for the mission?"

Seeing that none of his students had any problems with this, Yukihiro smiled a little and said, "We have to complete some preparations before that. Two of you don't know any movement jutsu, so you will learn that in one week. As for Kaida, you have something much more important to master. So here, eat a soldier pill each." He handed soldier pills to Ryota and Yomi since Kaida had already taken one during the mission to save Ayame.

Yukihiro made two shadow clones and took Ryota and Yomi to a different area of the training ground to teach them Body Flicker Jutsu. Since they didn't have Wind Chakra affinity, Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu would be difficult to learn; Body Flicker Jutsu was the second-best option.

Then he turned toward Kaida and asked, "Do you feel anything different after killing those bandits?"

Kaida thought Yukihiro was asking if he felt guilty about killing them.

"No, sensei, I don't feel any guilt killing those bastards."

"I'm not talking about that, brat. You activated the Sharingan during that time."

Kaida was shocked upon hearing this.

'What? I activated the ultimate cheat-like ability, the Sharingan? Me, who had the least chance of awakening it due to mixed blood? How the hell—'

"What?" Despite thinking so much, only this word came out of Kaida's mouth.

"Yes, you've awakened your Sharingan. Now, the Uchiha Clan won't leave you alone like before. There's a chance they'll try to bring you back under their command. So, what do you want to do?"

Kaida was stunned by the sudden flood of information, but one thing was certain.

"Hell no, I'm not going there. Just because I've awakened the Sharingan, they want me back? Before this, I was just an orphan to them. I'll continue living as I always have," Kaida said firmly.
