Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Now, with this room as my private training area, I can start training here.

Suddenly, the old man spoke in a serious voice, bringing Kaida out of his train of thought.

"Kaida, I want to ask you something."

"Yes, uncle?"

"Does your request to live alone have something to do with your chakra activation?"

Feeling extremely shocked and nervous at the same time, Kaida stammered, "I... I..."

Whether it was because he was still just a child or because he didn't have control over his emotions even in his previous life, the old man was able to read him like an open book.

"Don't worry, Kaida. Chakra activation is not something bad, and I am happy for you rather than being angry," said the old man with a smile. That's when Kaida got his confidence back and said,

"Yes, uncle. When I woke up this evening, I started to feel a weird sensation inside me. But it was not bad, rather it was a pleasant feeling."

"That's good. Now you can also become a powerful ninja like your parents. I am sure they would be very happy."

Feeling relieved since there was no need to hide his chakra from the old man anymore, Kaida decided to clear his other doubts. If he was a Senju, why was he in an orphanage, and what were the details about his parents? All he knew was that both of them were ninjas.

"Old man, I want to know more about my parents. Can you please tell me about them?"

The old man released a sigh, feeling sad to bring up bad memories for a child all of a sudden, and started speaking.

"Kaida, your father, Asami Senju, was from the Senju clan, but he was alone even in his clan since he was an orphan. But everything changed when he met your mother, Aiko Uchiha. She was in the same genin squad as him. Both of them fell in love with each other. However, the Uchiha clan didn't want your mother to marry your father since they wanted her to marry another Uchiha so that their child could also have the Sharingan like your mother. But your mother decided to leave the Uchiha clan and marry your father.

They were both very strong in their respective fields. Your father had an abnormal amount of chakra even for a Senju, and your mother had already activated her three-tomoe Sharingan. That is why you are not in either of the clan's compounds but rather in this orphanage."

Kaida asked in a sad voice, "If my parents were strong, how did they die?"

"They died the death of heroes when the Nine-Tails attacked the village. They had the option to run away with you, but they decided to stay and fight for the village. Both of them were special chunin, nearly at the level of jonin. They saved many civilians that day and became heroes of the village, but..."

Even though they were technically not my parents, why do I feel so sad and at the same time proud to be their son? I think with the memories of Kaida, I also got his feelings. Well, now I have more reason to become stronger. I won't tarnish my parents' reputation.

"Uncle, can you please train me to become a ninja just like my parents?"

"Since you have already unlocked your chakra, getting into the ninja academy will be easy for you. Since you still have to wait five months to take the admission test, we can train you until then. But when we start your training, you can't back off no matter how hard it becomes for you."

"Okay, uncle, I will become the most powerful ninja in the world."

The old man took these words as a joke this time, but little did he know that the chances of it being true were rather high.

"Oh! Uncle, will I also get the Sharingan like my mother when I grow up?"

"Umm, Kaida, unlocking and upgrading the Sharingan can be... tricky, even for pure-blood Uchiha. But in your case, it is even more... tricky. However, there is a chance of you unlocking your Sharingan, so you can try it in the future."

"Okay, uncle. Now, when will we begin our training?"

"Since you have just recovered from your injury, take one day's rest. We will start the training the day after tomorrow. And yes, you have to come to the dining area to eat. You are not going to get food in your room."

"Okay, uncle."

After saying that, the old man left to complete his work with a smile on his face.

I am really tired now. Let's go to sleep for now. I will think about what to do next after I wake up.

(After 9 hours…)

Oh! I slept well, and this is my first sleep without painkillers. It sure feels nice.

After waking up, Kaida went to do his daily activities and took a quick bath. When he came out of the bathroom, it was already time for breakfast, so he went to the ground floor for breakfast.

"Oh! Look, here comes the prince of Konoha. Wait, he's also just an orphan like us with no parents."
