Chapter 214: Choice

  “Simple, you leave the Uchiha d join Anbu.”

  “…?”

  “…?”

  “…?”

  “What?” Shisui shouted, and Kakashi was equally shocked.

  ‘I always wondered why Shisui and Itachi would join Anbu. I could accept the very odd reasoning for the Uchiha wanting to spy on Konoha’s higher-ups while outwardly showing loyalty to Konoha. But there was no reason for Shisui to join Anbu. Now, the reason is being more and more clear to me,’ Kaida thought.

  “Why would I have to do something like that?” Shisui asked, calming his mind a little.

  “When you were the only Kage-level ninja in the Uchiha , others may not have had much problem with that. Even though it’s difficult, it is not impossible for the to handle a single Kage-level ninja,” Kaida said, pausing for them to uand.

  “But now that the head has also shown he is a Kage-level ninja, the limit is broken, and now it may lead to some problems in Konoha,” Shisui said.

  “Exactly. But if you ‘leave’ the Uchiha d join Anbu, then the Uchiha will once again have just a single Kage-level ninja, and the power bance will remain the same. With you in Anbu, the vilge will be more secure,” Kaida expined.

  Kakashi then asked, “I uand this, but how will that help Naruto? I don’t want to be a jerk, but this was the main reason this whole debate started,” Kakashi said with an awkward smile. To him, it was too much for a child to be discussing something like this. Even though he knew how smart Kaida was, it was still a 9-year-old boy discussing the fate of Konoha, which could face civil war.

  Now, ohing everyone didn’t know was that, with the Sharingan, the Uchiha gain the ability to read minds. There is also another way to uand what a person is thinking. Even in the real world, some psychiatrists tell if a person is lying by minor muscle movements, like twitg muscles he eyes, hand movements, or specific postures. They guess what the person is thinking.

  The Sharingan enhahis capacity, allowing the user to notice these things better. With higher mental capacity, they process those observations more effectively. Because of this, Kaida and Shisui could tell that Kakashi was not taking this versation seriously. However, Kaida was not offended.

  ‘Even I wouldn’t take a kid’s words seriously. In my previous life, many people would discuss how a try should be run or how new decisions by higher-ups would ruin the try iure, even though they knew nothing about the leaders’ thought processes and why they made those decisions.’

  ‘So how am I different from those people? Well, I know the details about Konoha much more than anyone else present in the whole vilge. Also, all those plot holes in my knowledge could now be filled with actual and true data. With this and increased mental capacity, dedug such small things is not much of a problem,’ Kaida thought. But, of course, he and Shisui didn’t say anything about that.

  “These two things are really reted to each other, Kakashi. Like, tell me, who should Naruto live with?” Kaida asked.

  “With…” Kakashi stopped mid-sentence. He wao say ‘with me,’ but even he could guess how bad that would be. He would be out of Konoha for missions, so what difference would it make if Naruto lived alone or with him?

  “I don’t know,” Kakashi said with a sigh.

  “Aunt Kushina and Aunt Mikotood friends, so ideally, Naruto should live with her. Since she has a son of the same age as Naruto, he would have a better ce to feel at ease there. But the problem is, other s will not allow that under any circumstances.”

  “Then?”

  “Then the sed-best option I could think of is this house,” Kaida said.

  Both Kakashi and Shisui were shocked by that.

  “Why?” This time, Shisui was the one who asked the question.

  “Aunt Hae is friends with Aunt Mikoto, and it was because of their discussions that I was able to learn about Naruto’s dition. Also, I am… was an orphan myself and know how good this house is for an orphan. And the st reason is safety. Naruto is the Jinchuriki of Konoha. We would need an Anbu squad proteg him wherever he goes. But who do you think would be better at proteg him than an Anbu squad?”

  Both Kaida and Kakashi looked towards Shisui, a Kage-level ninja. Then Kakashi looked towards Kaida, who, while not as strong as Shisui, was still a Jonin-level ninja.

  Now he could easily see why Kaida said this was the best house for Naruto. With Hae’s motherly nature, Naruto could get a family, and there are very few pces other than headquarters that provide better prote for him than this house.

  “That’s why you said that I have to leave the ,” Shisui said.

  “Yup, for others, you are the head of the house. If you are part of the Uchiha , there is no way others will allow us to take Naruto in. But…”

  “But if he bees part of Anbu after leaving the Uchiha , then it will be the same as Lord Third making arras for Naruto, and no one will have any problem with that,” Kakashi pleted Kaida’s sentence. Kaida just nodded.

  “Is anyone going to ask for my permission before making such a decision?” Hae said as she came into the hall with a tray full of snacks and tea.

  “Of course, Aunt. We are just discussing the possibility. Without your permission, we ’t do anything,” Kaida said.

  “You are learning from your brother day by day. You are also getting his silver tongue,” Hae said and gave tea to everyone. "Don’t worry, I also want to help that boy. His parents did so much for us, and he is living such a sad life,” Hae said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

  “But the stuff about the d Anbu, I think you guys should go and discuss that with the head. That stuff sounds much more serious,” Hae said.

  “Yes, I was thinking about that. Kaida, you also e with me,” Shisui said.

  “Then I will take my leave. Please notify me about future developments, if that’s not too much trouble for you guys,” Kakashi said.

  After enjoying some tea, they all went to their respective destinations.
