Looking at the three reward options, Kaito felt happy but also remained relatively calm.
After all, he had already gone through two rewards in a single day, making it hard to get too excited. Furthermore, the reward this time was not as generous as the first time.
Anyway, the first time he obtained True Evolution, which meant his Sharingan was destined to evolve to the Mangekyou level.
The only things that could still excite him now were probably things at a higher level, right?
Of course, that's just what he was thinking. Although he had obtained True Evolution as a passive ability, he had not fully explored the potential of that ability yet.
Thinking about things at a higher level is practically just daydreaming; dealing well with what is right in front of his eyes is the key.
As for this choice, there is actually no particularly good option.
As an Uchiha, he is already skilled in fire ninjutsu, so he has no intention of choosing the "Blazing Inferno" ability.
Although its effect seems quite impressive, Kaito is not without viable alternatives, such as the "Great Fire Annihilation" that he can certainly learn.
The power of the "Great Fire Annihilation" is indeed significant, but in practice, it is just a B or C-rank ninjutsu.
Its strength and power are directly related to the infused chakra; this means that the more chakra is used, the greater explosive power can be achieved.
As for the "Furious Whirlwind," it is indeed a viable option. Kaito is skilled in fire and earth ninjutsu, but he doesn't really possess wind ninjutsu ability.
However, compared to the ability to freely fly in the sky, he feels that he can give up a bit of that wind ability.
"Besides, flight techniques have already appeared twice, it would be really unacceptable if I didn't choose them."
Undoubtedly, Kaito's choice this time naturally falls on the aerial flight technique, as the sensation of flying in the skies is something that probably no one would want to miss.
Unless there are even more difficult choices to make, like evolving his own eyes.
After acquiring this technique, Kaito couldn't wait until nightfall and rushed to the forest behind the Uchiha territory to try it out in detail.
It cannot be denied that the feeling of freely flying is truly incredible, but Kaito also realized that this technique consumes a considerable amount of chakra.
Considering his current chakra reserves, he can fly at a slow speed for about an hour, but he doubts he could sustain it for more than five minutes in a high-speed flight.
"And flying also requires considering the sky conditions. The various effects caused by high-speed flight are significant, but for me, this is already enough."
Kaito is still very satisfied. The aerial flight technique is like a new means of survival for him, after all, there are few ninja in the world capable of flying.
Without hesitation, unless he encounters opponents like Pain or Orochimaru in advanced stages, no one will be able to catch up to him if he decides to flee!
To avoid attracting too much attention, after experimenting with the technique, Kaito obediently returned to his residence.
After a good night's rest, the next morning, he decided to head directly to the mission center.
To hunt down high-ranking ninja, he would need a proper excuse to leave the village, and fulfilling a mission would be the best choice.
At the same time, he also planned to check if there were any Konoha defectors worth pursuing. If he found a suitable target, it would be even better.
"Hmm? Shisui?"
What Kaito didn't expect was to encounter Shisui as soon as he left the house.
At this moment, he looked a little tired. His eyes were red as if he had been using the Sharingan, but it was evident that he hadn't rested enough.
Although Kaito already knew through the system that Shisui was starting to recognize him, he didn't expect Shisui to be so perplexed.
After all, from Kaito's perspective, there was nothing that was worth questioning so much. The village's actions and the internal inaction of the clan are what led to the current state of the Uchiha.
Once the essential nature of this matter is understood, it becomes easy and simple to comprehend. Why worry so much?
"Kaito, good morning."
Shisui seemed a bit uneasy, but he remained serious. He got straight to the point.
"I spent the night thinking, and although I agree, in principle, with your ideas and viewpoints, but..."
"Stop, this isn't the place for us to talk, and I have things to do. We can discuss it later, calmly."
Kaito immediately interrupted Shisui, preventing him from speaking further without thinking. Who knows if someone would be listening behind the wall.
Kaito doesn't have the ability to sense the presence of ninjas. If someone with ill intentions was listening, then everything would be lost, and there would be nothing left to play for.
He patiently waits until Uchiha Itachi wields his sword, while cooperating with Tobi and Danzo's Root to face death together.
Shisui, finally, also realized this. Although he showed a bit of guilt on his face.
He knew he had done something wrong, and if it weren't for Kaito's quick reaction, he would have caused trouble.
However, soon, he looks at Kaito with a puzzled expression because he understood what Kaito said.
"Any problem?" Shisui asked curiously. "Is it some mission?"
"Not yet, but I'm planning to take on some missions," Kaito nodded slightly. "The atmosphere within the clan is very oppressive, and I have a natural aversion to these gatherings. At the same time, I'm planning to seriously reflect on what I should do next."
Kaito didn't specify exactly what he was thinking of doing, but Shisui instantly understood what he meant.
Furthermore, he had to admit that the atmosphere within the clan was really bad.
Especially after hearing Kaito's words yesterday, Shisui reflected carefully all night and realized that it was exactly as he had said. Although Kaito's words were hard to hear, it seemed like it was the reality.
How could they govern the clan alongside those disgusting vermin?
They hadn't even come close to identifying the root of the problem. It was ridiculous to think that the ANBU was a desirable option.
In reality, this was a deadly poison, a tool that further alienated the Uchiha clan from Konoha, an institution that led to the corruption of the Uchiha.
The clan had changed, and Konoha no longer trusted them. The real change could only come from within themselves.
Suddenly, Shisui realized that he had underestimated his friend and comrade all along.
They competed together, grew up together, and were hailed as prodigies of the clan.
However, he found himself sinking into a muddy abyss without hesitation, while his good friend remained oblivious to it all.
But it was through his friend's actions that he could see everything clearly, identify the weaknesses of the Uchiha. He was the most clear-headed person in the clan!
With these thoughts, Shisui made a decision, but before expressing it, he needed to reflect and observe carefully.
For example...
"Kaito, this time, I will go with you on this mission."
"Ah? What did you say?"
"I said I will go with you because it's the only way for me to understand more!"
