Chapter 167: Evolution Through Illusion
The emotions in Kaida's mind were still in turmoil, even though his mind was telling him that everything was a lie. But just to be sure, he dispersed his chakra many times, only to confirm that the enemy had not placed him in a genjutsu to keep him out of their fight with his brother.
"Everything is fine, you can take a rest now," Shisui said, appearing in front of Kaida all of a sudden. Due to his highly alert state, Kaida threw a punch straight at Shisui's face as soon as he appeared in front of him.
But since his mind was not stable and Shisui had kept his sharingan activated until now, the punch didn't connect with Shisui's face.
Dodging the punch easily, Shisui hugged Kaida. Feeling the warmth of the hug, Kaida's mind finally returned to a calmer state, at least calm enough to process the information his eyes were seeing.
A large area around him was burned black, maybe done by him, and with his brother in front of him, Kaida knew that he was the one who had put him under genjutsu.
'But when, and why?' these were Kaida's last thoughts before he succumbed to the fatigue his mind and body had experienced.
Shisui easily lifted him up and brought him in front of Fugaku's house, this time really.
"Aunt Mikoto, I need your help, can you please add him too?" Shisui shouted while standing in front of the house.
Listening to the shout, Mikoto came out of the house along with Hae.
Seeing Kaida's condition, Hae ran to Shisui and asked while checking on Kaida's body for any sign of injury,
"Don't worry, mom, he is not injured, just tired from achieving something great," Shisui said with a wide smile.
"What does that mean?" Hae asked, now both confused and worried.
"Why don't you wait until he wakes up and ask him directly," Shisui said.
As they were having this conversation outside the house, the arrays inside the house scanned Kaida and registered him as an ally, due to which now he could also come inside the house.
Mikoto quickly came outside and said, "Why are you still standing there? Bring him inside quickly."
Shisui nodded and brought Kaida inside the house. By now, everyone in the house came to know that something had happened from the commotion.
Both Itachi and Yomi came out of their rooms in fighting stances, while young Sasuke just came out, simply curious about what was happening.
Seeing Kaida in that state, Yomi had a similar reaction as Hae, if not a little more intense, only calming down after repeatedly hearing that Kaida was fine from Shisui.
After that, Kaida was put on a bed, and everyone left, giving him some peace to rest properly, with Yomi and Hae checking his condition from time to time.
After sleeping for more than 23 hours, Kaida woke up. It has to be noted that both his mind and body had been trained so much that even the effect of eating a soldier pill only took him 16-18 hours.
But now he had to sleep for more than 23 hours, both Yomi and Hae were worried about him, and Shisui's silence about this situation didn't help in reducing their worry at all.
After 23 hours, Kaida woke up. As soon as he woke up, he once again became completely alert. At that time, Hae was in the room, waiting for Kaida to wake up.
She and Yomi had been taking turns to take care of him.
"You finally woke up, are you all right? Are you feeling any pain inside your body? Wait, you should be hungry, right? Do you want to eat something..."
hahaha
Kaida laughed, interrupting Hae's streak of questions. Seeing the worried expression on Hae's face, Kaida finally calmed down and said, "I am fine, aunt, but can I meet brother for a second? I also want to know the reason for this, like you, but only brother knows why I was like that."
"Okay, wait a second," Hae said and went out.
After a few minutes, she came back with both Shisui and Yomi. Seeing Kaida was awake, Yomi also sighed in relief, just like Hae.
"Why did you call me for such a simple thing? Can't you figure out the reason yourself?" Shisui said before Kaida could ask anything.
"What reason?" Kaida asked, confused. Shisui just shook his head and said, "Just try to sense your chakra reserves."
Kaida nodded and tried to sense his chakra reserves. Also, hearing that, Yomi became curious about the reason too, and she also activated her chakra field and tried to sense Kaida's chakra reserves.
"WHAT THE...."
Both of them shouted at the same time.
Kaida already had huge chakra reserves before this incident, comparable to most of the jonins in Konoha, but at this moment, his chakra reserves were around 2.5 times what he possessed before.
His chakra reserves size easily outclassed many elite jonin. Even Shisui, who already had activated the mangekyo sharingan, had the same amount of chakra as Kaida, if not a little less.
The reason for this was pretty simple. Kaida possessed the bloodline of both the Senju and Uchiha clans, making him closer to the Otsutsuki, due to which his potential was quite high, easily reflecting on his chakra reserves.
Kaida, still confused, looked toward Shisui for the explanation. Shisui just smiled and activated his sharingan, and three tomoe were rotating in them.
Seeing that, Kaida became super excited and jumped out of the bed, standing in front of the mirror. After taking a deep breath, he activated his sharingan, only for his smile to widen upon seeing three tomoe rotating in them.
"Yes, you have finally activated the 3 tomoe sharingan. Now, with this, you could easily call yourself strong enough to be called a Jonin, though officially you are still a genin," Shisui said with a smile.
Listening to this, Kaida remembered a certain eternal genin who eventually possessed enough strength to go against the gods of this world and still win. But coming back to the current moment, he asked, "Was this the reason I had to go through all that?"
"Yup, that was the best method for achieving 3 tomoe, much better than actually going through such a thing in real life before activating that," Shisui replied.
