Naruto: Chronicles of a Fire Ninja-Chapter 386 - 382: BIG Brother

(At evening...)

Shisui returned from the Hokage's office and told his family about the mission he was going to take, about the Daimyo's safety.

"But you just came back, and now you have to go on another mission. Are they going to work you till you are bones and skin? If it is so hard to be an Anbu, just quit it," Hae said, as Shisui had just come back yesterday and now had to go on another mission, and that too for 3 weeks.

"Mom, this mission is the easiest mission one could get. Protecting the caravan of Fire Daimyo with Jiraya-sama and a ton of other elite Ninja, there is no need for you to worry about anything," Shisui tried to calm his mother down, who was on the verge of going to the Hokage building to question Hiruzen himself.

But unlike Hae, Kaida was more experienced in these missions, at least more than her, so he had a hunch that Hiruzen wouldn't have called Shisui back for a mission like protecting the Fire Daimyo when he had more than enough ninja for it, along with Jiraya, who could easily handle such a mission alone as he had always done.

'There is something other than this mission. Considering how brother is not telling us anything, it must be something confidential,' Kaida thought, but didn't say anything. He already had a guess which mission Shisui may have gotten, but he kept it to himself.

"Then tell Lord Third that you will not take any mission after this one for a month. I don't care how important it is.

Even your father used to say how important it is to take a break in between missions, as they are more mentally taxing than physically," Hae said, her stance clear: either rest or she will have a talk with Hiruzen himself.

"As you wish, Mom. I will ask for a month's leave from Lord Third after this mission," Shisui said with a big smile on his face.

She nodded her head, after which dinner was served. After a very long time, all five members of the family were dining together, so Hae had prepared a feast once again, which left all of them bloated.

"I will have a stroll to digest this. Will anyone join me?" Shisui said, patting his bulging belly.

"I have to do the dishes," Hae said.

"Mom, I can..."

"No need, I can do this," Hae cut off Shisui's suggestion, because every mother likes to do things for their children more than leisure time, the same was true for Hae.

"I will help, Aunt," Yomi said, at which Hae nodded her head.

"I will come yawn"

"No, you are going to bed," Hae said.

"Then only we are left, brother," Kaida said with a small chuckle.

"Looks like it."

"Guah" came a roar from the background.

"With your size, you will give those innocent people a scare of their life. I will take you to the jungle tomorrow," Kaida said.

"Guah" - almost a child-like roar came, and after this much time, the family was able to understand the meaning behind some of its roars, like this time.

"Yeah, I promise."

...

"So, you are going on a single S-rank mission?" Kaida asked Shisui. They had chosen a rather remote alley as the village was still very active this hour, especially the Uchiha compound - the safest location in the village. The shops rarely close in this clan; one can see some movement at all hours.

But it made peaceful night walks impossible, so they chose the area near the training area and border of the village.

"As you can guess, no. But I can't tell you where I am going," Shisui said.

"There is no need, brother. I already have a guess about that... best of luck and be safe. It will not be easy," Kaida said, looking toward him. It would be a complete lie to say that he was not worried at all; no, he was worried. He was worried about the mission Shisui was about to take.

There was no way Kumo and Iwa had not prepared for the attack, considering Shisui was being sent on a mission where there were N number of possibilities that something may go wrong.

Kaida wanted to stop Shisui from going on the mission, but he knew that it was actually the peaceful time compared to what would happen in the future.

"Hahaha, are you actually worrying about me? Don't you know who your brother is?" Shisui laughed and ruffled Kaida's hair.

"I know, but I am worried. Even a 10-year-old is now more stronger than you. Now I doubt whether your reputation is authentic or not," Kaida said with a smile.

"Hahaha! Just because you got Mangekyo, you think you are now stronger than me, huh? Well, now I have to earn back my pride as the big brother. Why don't we have a spar?" Shisui asked.

"Umm, I don't want to injure you before your mission, brother. I am still new to this and may not be able to control myself," Kaida said with a smirk.

"Well, you are a doctor. I am sure you will be able to heal me just fine," Shisui said, a vein bulging on his forehead.

...

"What happened to you, Kaida? I thought you guys just went for a walk. Why does it look like you were hit by a carriage?" Hae asked worriedly.

"Umm, I slipped?" Kaida said, turning his head away. Hae then turned to Shisui for an explanation, only to find an annoying smirk on his face.

"How many times do I have to say it to Kaida: don't become careless. Now go and take some rest, and tell your 'BIG brother' if you have any problem, okay?" Shisui asked.

"Yes, brother tch" Kaida clicked his tongue and went into his room, but there was a smile on his face. In the spar, he had tried his very best to fight Shisui, used every trick possible aside from his Mangekyo ability, and he still lost to Shisui.

If it had to be compared, both of them had a gun, but Shisui had more experience and better aim and dexterity, which gave him an edge.

Even though Kaida lost the spar, and since his earlier provocations were a little too much, he had to pay the price. The end result, which was the end of his worries about Shisui's safety, was definitely worth it.

So Kaida went to his room with a broken body but a calm mind and a smile on his face.
