Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Chapter 182: Itachi Uchiha

Kaida went back to his temporary house, or one could say a mansion, because in real life, the house of Fugaku Uchiha looked fitting for the clan head and leader of one of the, if not the biggest and most powerful clan of Konoha.

After entering the house, Kaida went to the hall where Hae and Mikoto were sitting, watching television. Yes, there was a television in Fugaku's house, but not the same as the televisions we are familiar with. The television was completely wired and worked in a very close range, meaning if one show was broadcasted on those wires, the maximum distance it could be transmitted was 10 km, which was itself a technological marvel in Naruto's world.

Due to that reason, it was extremely expensive, and since there weren't many interesting shows broadcast on television, not many people were fans of getting one.

"So you're finally back. I'm pretty sure I told you to rest for a day," Hae said with a smile that wasn't actually a smile.

"Aunt, I was just out for a walk with brother, and I'm perfectly fine, rather than fine, I'm feeling much better than ever," Kaida said.

"Okay, okay, I know how much you hate resting, but still refrain yourself from doing any training for some time. Even Mikoto said that you should take some rest, and she is a veteran Jonin, so you should listen to her advice," Hae said.

"ME? When..." Mikoto was saying when Hae gave her a stern look, and she changed her sentence.

"Oh! I remember, yes Kaida, try to take a rest for some time and let your body get adjusted to your new condition. After that, you can train as much as you want," Mikoto said.

"As you say, aunt, I will rest for some time," Kaida said.

"Meaning he won't spar against brother?" came a small little voice from the corner of the hall where the door was located. The door was half-open, and from behind, a small boy was peeking.

With dark black eyes and hair of the same color, with looks from his mother's side, the boy looked so cute that no one would have believed that this boy was going to become one of the most badass characters of this world.

Kaida looked toward Sasuke and asked, "You want me to spar against your brother?" There was a small smile on his face.

"My brother is super strong, but brother Shisui said that you are stronger in something, which is obviously a lie, and that's why my brother will fight you and show you that he is more powerful than you," Sasuke said, as if he were stating a universal truth like the sun rising from the east or the Nine-Tails being the most powerful among all the tailed beasts.

"Brother actually said that, really?" Kaida couldn't believe his eyes. He was actually stronger than THE ITACHI Uchiha? HOW?

As far as the Naruto anime goes, Itachi was a genius no one could compare to. He was the most powerful ninja from the Uchiha side, much more powerful than Shisui himself, and if I dare say, even Sasuke with Indra's chakra.

The reason was that even when Itachi was dying, he was able to fight Sasuke with the same level of Mangekyou Sharingan as well as years of training under Orochimaru, and could have won by all means if not for his guilt.

That Itachi Uchiha was weaker than him at something was impossible. Also, like many others, Kaida was a fan of Itachi Uchiha, which didn't help.

"I think he said the right thing, Sasuke. Kaida is very powerful at kenjutsu," Yomi added when Kaida was thinking those thoughts.

"I'm sure I'm not better at it than Itachi. He is the son of Fugaku-sama, as well as one year older than me. There is no way I could be better than him. There is a reason he is said to be a genius on par with his brother," Kaida said.
