Kaida had many plans, like recruiting various talented ninjas like Karin and Haku, but the problem was he couldn't go to those areas yet.

Maybe he could go near Karin, but Haku's area was still off-limits. He didn't want to put his life in danger.

In the starting years, Kaida didn't want to change the plot much, that's why he didn't make many plans for changing many characters' personalities from the original story.

But now that he had planned to save the Uchiha massacre, the complete story would mess up in the future. Like during the Chunin Exams, Sunagakure only attacked Konoha because it had become increasingly weak after the death of all the Uchihas in the village.

Now that the Uchihas would remain in this village, including two more S-rank ninjas – Itachi and Shisui, the chances of Sunagakure attacking Konoha on their own would be very slim. Either they would form an alliance with any other village for the attack, or Orochimaru would completely change his plans, both of which would increase the danger level of that attack many times over.

That's why Kaida wanted to increase the chances of Konoha's survival in the future while reducing the chances of suffering losses to a minimum, and this could only be done by increasing the current strength of Konoha's shinobi.

Well, increasing the number of jonin would not do much at least not in short time. The best way would be to increase the strength of the cream of the crop - ninjas like Kakashi, Might Guy, Shisui, and Itachi - to reach the level of the Sannin, that is, Kage-level.

This was Kaida's plan for the future, and if his plan became successful, then he would be safe in all cases, even if he had civilian-level strength.

With ninjas like Shisui protecting him, and Itachi, Kakashi, and Might Guy attacking the enemy, even jinchuriki may face problems harming Konoha and, in turn, Kaida and his family.

Not that he was going to stop his training. With his plan in motion, getting the Flying Thunder God Jutsu from Hiruzen would not be very difficult, and after getting that, combining its speed with the Sharingan's reaction speed, Kaida would easily become one of the most difficult-to-kill S-rank ninjas.

Even the likes of Pain and Konan would have problems targeting Kaida, but a single person couldn't do much, that's why Kaida was planning to increase the strength of others as well.

Shisui could be removed from the plan. He was not considered a once-in-a-century genius without reason. Just by saving his life was enough; the rest could be left on Shisui's shoulders.

With enough time, he may even surpass Jiraiya and Orochimaru. The same goes for Itachi; just by getting a safe environment for training and not having the task of spying on the most dangerous organization in the world, Itachi would become a force more powerful than his anime counterpart.

'That will be exciting.'

Now the two other remaining ninjas, Kakashi and Guy, both of them required some help.

Guy, on his own, was just an elite Jonin. It was not a weak strength from any angle, but if he opened his inner gates, then he would easily become an S-rank ninja.

Not to mention the Eighth Inner Gate, that would make him the strongest person on Earth for some minutes, but that is where his weakness lies. Guy couldn't go around opening his inner gates all the time when the village faced any problem because for getting so much power, he had to pay a steep price too. His body gets damaged every time Guy opened the Fifth Inner Gate, with the damage increasing with each additional gate.

Though there was not much Kaida could do to help Might Guy at the moment, just imagine a jonin going to an elite Jonin saying that he could increase his strength to Kage-level. Might Guy may be a bit simple in nature, but he was by no means a fool. No fool can ever become an elite jonin in the ninja world.

But there is another person on the list who very much needed help at the moment, the most dark moment of his life was at this moment.

Yes, I am talking about the burned genius of Konoha, the son of the White Fang and student of the Yellow Flash, the person who was considered a once-in-a-century genius of Konoha.

Also, the person who was able to make an S-rank jutsu without even being an elite jonin at that moment, the person who used the Sharingan better than many Uchihas and became famous all over the ninja world for that.

The person who was considered a Hokage candidate, and the list goes on. Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi could have single-handedly become powerful enough to overcome the humungous achievements of his father and teacher.

But after the death of his father, he took a blow to his motivation to train, and after the 'death' of his friend and partner, Obito, once again, his mentality took a hit.

Before he could overcome that, he himself had to kill his other partner, followed by the death of his sensei/father figure, he mostly lost all motivation in his life and went on a killing spree while completing Anbu missions to forget about the pain.

"Everyone you're talking about has already been killed." This was a line said by Kakashi, and when he said this with his famous eye-smile, every reader of the manga or watcher of the anime could clearly feel the depth of pain in Kakashi's heart.

That's why Kaida thought of him as the burned genius of Konoha who could not achieve his full potential in the story and still contribute quite a bit in the final fight against Obito, Madara, and even Kaguya.

Now just imagine what would happen when he achieved his full potential. He would be a much more terrifying ninja than any Kage at the moment, Onoki included.

And now Kaida wanted to do so, but the problem was how.

There were thousands of things Kaida could use against Kakashi at the moment to make him go back to train like a crazy maniac, but the problem was how would he show the base of his knowledge?

Like he could use Naruto to motivate Kakashi as the son of his Sensei. There was still some relation between them.

But what would Kaida tell if someone asked how Kaida knew Naruto's identity, as that was supposed to be 'hidden' from everyone by Hiruzen?

These were the thoughts going in Kaida's mind when he heard a conversation in the hall. Which the opportunity he was waiting for.

"What happened, Mikoto? Why are you so sad?" Hae asked.

"Hae, you remember Kushina, right?"

"Yes, how would I forget such a cheerful lady? I also miss her," Hae said, thinking that Mikoto was missing her old friend.

"She had a baby, who has now become a political tool in Konoha. The boy whose parents died protecting our village is living a miserable life. He is around the same age as my Sasuke, but he has not eaten a full meal for a week.

I used to provide him with some food from time to time, but lately, the ninja keeping an eye on him has become very vigilant. They don't allow anyone to go near him." Mikoto said sobbing a little

"Are they still humans? How could they do something like that to a child?" Hae said with a shaking voice.
