Chapter 106: Shisui is Back
"So you are planning to do those D-rank missions continuously?” Fugaku asked.
“That was my initial plan, but if this causes any problem for the clan, I will not do that many missions by myself,” Kaida said.
“It’s quite the opposite. We’ve been getting many D-rank missions from the village for some time, but the problem is that normal Uchiha clan ninjas don’t do D-rank missions. So, we had to return those missions to the village with some fines. Now that you’re completing those missions, one of my problems is solved,” Fugaku said.
“If you don’t mind, may I ask you a question?” Kaida asked.
“You may,” Fugaku said.
“If you had one Jonin assigned to these missions, they could have completed them in no time. So why did you pay a fine instead of assigning some ninjas to do these tasks?” Kaida asked.
“Do you think becoming a Jonin is easy?” Fugaku asked.
“No, sir, not at all,” Kaida replied.
“Yes, every ninja who wants to become a Jonin has to train very hard, and after years of that grueling training, they become a Jonin. So, a Jonin is naturally a little arrogant. As for Jonin from the Uchiha clan, their arrogance is higher than normal Jonin. Now, tell me, do you think they would do tasks like tending animals, maintaining the garden, and moving boxes?” Fugaku asked.
“No,” Kaida replied with an awkward smile.
“So, you’re completing these missions because you want resources. Which type of resources are you talking about?” Fugaku asked, bringing the conversation back to the topic.
“All the consumable resources that help in training,” Kaida replied.
“So you’re not planning to learn jutsus using Contribution Points?” Fugaku asked.
“We can learn jutsus using Contribution Points?” Kaida asked, a little shocked.
“So you don’t even know what types of resources you can get using Contribution Points. Aside from those consumables, you can also learn different jutsus using Contribution Points.”
“But why would I use Contribution Points to learn jutsu when I can learn them from the village library for free?” Kaida asked.
“You’re an Uchiha. Why would you take the longer route? If you use your Sharingan and see the jutsu being performed in front of you, you can learn that jutsu in no time. Also, since you’re just a Genin, you can only learn C-rank jutsu from the library. But by using Contribution Points, you can learn any jutsu you want,” Fugaku explained.
“Even S-rank jutsu?” Kaida asked.
“You can, but I don’t think you’ll be able to pay its price any time soon,” Fugaku said with a smile.
“What’s the price for an S-rank jutsu?” Kaida asked.
“You can ask the receptionist for the list of resources,” Fugaku said.
“Oh! I already have that, but I never checked the second page because even affording the resources on the first page was difficult for me,” Kaida said with an awkward smile.
“You can read it now,” Fugaku said.
“Thank you,” Kaida said, taking out a list from his pocket and turning directly to the second page.
**Taijutsu**
- Genin level – 5,000 Contribution Points
- Chunin level – 40,000 Contribution Points
- Jonin level – 90,000 Contribution Points
**Kenjutsu**
- Genin level – 10,000 Contribution Points
- Chunin level – 80,000 Contribution Points
- Jonin level – 150,000 Contribution Points
**Ninjutsu**
- C-rank – 15,000 Contribution Points
- B-rank – 50,000 Contribution Points
- A-rank – 100,000 Contribution Points
- S-rank – 500,000 Contribution Points
After reading the price for Ninjutsu, Kaida’s eyes bulged.
“How can someone gather 500,000 Contribution Points?” Kaida asked.
“By doing just D-rank missions, it’s difficult. But those doing D-rank missions usually don’t want to learn these jutsu,” Fugaku said with a smile, seeing Kaida’s childish expression. He continued, “The reward for an A-rank mission is 20,000 Contribution Points, and for an S-rank mission, it's 50,000 Contribution Points. So, by doing 10 S-rank missions, anyone can learn an S-rank jutsu. The price isn’t that high if you understand what an S-rank jutsu is.”
Kaida remembered the power of S-rank jutsu—how they could change landscapes when used.
“So, if I choose to learn this jutsu, someone will show me how to perform it once?” Kaida asked.
“No, for a full day, a ninja will teach you how to perform that jutsu,” Fugaku explained.
‘This is a really good deal. Being an Uchiha, it would be a waste not to learn various jutsus. If my jutsu repertoire is high, it will be difficult for anyone to strategize against me in the future,’ Kaida thought.
“Now I have one more thing to spend my Contribution Points on,” Kaida said.
“Hahaha, that’s why I asked if you wanted to learn jutsu using Contribution Points. Since you’re helping the clan by doing those D-rank missions, I have a reward for you. If you complete 1,000 missions in one week, you can learn a C-rank jutsu for free,” Fugaku said.
“And by chance, if I want to learn a higher-rank jutsu, will its price be reduced?” Kaida asked.
“If you want, I can give you 15,000 Contribution Points directly,” Fugaku said.
“Does that mean I’ll get 15,000 Contribution Points for every 1,000 D-rank missions I complete?” Kaida asked.
‘This boy is a little too greedy,’ Fugaku thought.
“I can’t give you too much for free. Let’s say the max you’ll get is 30,000 Contribution Points,” Fugaku said.
“Thank you very much, Fugaku-sama,” Kaida said with a wide smile.
“I can see you were training. You can go back now. Just come to me when you complete 1,000 missions,” Fugaku said.
“As you command, sir,” Kaida replied and left.
After reaching the training area, Kaida sat down and started planning.
‘At this speed, I can complete 1,000 missions in three days, so by the end of my training, I should have 25,000 Contribution Points. For a B-rank jutsu, I’ll need 50,000 Contribution Points. I can learn it from my brother—it’s not being shameless, it’s just cost-effective that way. Plus, I can give Contribution Points directly to him so he can use them for his needs. Of course, he might give me some discounts,’ Kaida thought.
“Well, one thing is for sure. With this many Contribution Points, I shouldn’t have any problem getting those resources,” Kaida said out loud, then went back to training his kenjutsu.
…
The next morning at 6:00 AM
“You’re so hard to find,” Shisui said, looking at Kaida, who was lying on the ground, completely exhausted.
“Brother, you’re back! How was your mission?” Kaida asked, trying to stand up.
