"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.
Both of them continued their discussion, but Kaida was too happy to continue listening to that, like any other fan. How could he not know the condition Naruto was living in? The food was as much a luxury for him as anything else. Due to that, he had to learn how to catch fish, taught by Hiruzen himself.

Kaida couldn't help but think, 'How could a kid Naruto's age, whose parents had sacrificed everything to protect the village, not be given proper food and care? The treatment he was getting was shameful.'
Both Mikoto and Hae continued their discussion, but Kaida was too happy to continue listening to that, like any other fan. How could he not know Naruto's condition? The food was as much a luxury for him as anything else. Due to that, he had to learn how to catch fish, taught by Hiruzen himself.
In Kaida's previous life, many people speculated why Hiruzen never helped Naruto. With theories like, he was Hokage and was too busy to care about Naruto, then how the hell could he have time to teach a kid how to fish?
So people speculated that he did that so that by going through such hardship, Naruto would become strong. Such people may have had a screw or two loose in their head. Keeping a 3-4 year old boy hungry was by no means training. It would just stunt his growth, with many physical disadvantages in the future. If not for his high chakra reserves, Naruto may have died from malnutrition. Though chances were that someone may have saved him at a critical moment and got a jinchuriki in their hands.
The reason Kaida had not done anything for Naruto was that Naruto was the person who had the most Root ninja spying on him. Going anywhere near him, while being an Uchiha, would be almost like putting a target on his back. But now that the plan against Root was already in motion, Kaida would have more freedom in the future to do things.
Now with an excuse for the knowledge about Naruto's real identity, Kaida could finally take action. That's why he wanted to see Shisui as soon as he could, so that he could plan things in a better way.
...
"Brother, do you know about Kakashi Hatake?" Kaida asked.
"Who doesn't know him? Wait, are you planning on recruiting him into our clan?" Shisui asked with a slightly shocked expression on his face.
"Not in our clan, I know even though he is the last member of his clan, there is no way he would leave the Hatake clan and join the Uchiha clan. But that doesn't mean that the Hatake and Uchiha clans can't be allies, right?" Kaida asked.
Shisui nodded his head and then asked, "But how are you planning on getting him to help us, since we actually had kind of bad blood among us?"
"Bad blood?"
"Well, since he had the Sharingan of our clan, our elders tried to take it back from him instead, and only by letting us read his memory was he allowed to keep that Sharingan," Shisui said, laughing awkwardly.
"Our clan tried to make an enemy out of a genius ninja why?" Kaida asked.
"Do you know how many geniuses die an early death in our world? The elders thought that Kakashi would be like them, but now even they regret their decision," Shisui said, shaking his head.
"Don't worry, brother. I am sure he will understand that we had our reasons to do that," Kaida said, knowing full well that Kakashi didn't have any ill feelings towards the Uchiha, otherwise he wouldn't have taught Sasuke his signature jutsu in the anime.
"I hope so, so how are you trying to make him our ally?" Shisui asked.
"I heard a talk between Aunt Hae and Aunt Mikoto. They were talking about a boy named Naruto, he is the son of the Fourth Hokage," Kaida said.
"Nope, don't even think about using that boy. That will not only be morally incorrect but will also be an extremely foolish decision. The number of ninja watching over him is more than 10, most of them are Jonin too," Shisui said.
'Danzo doesn't want to take any risks, huh! Well, with the treatment Naruto was getting, there should have been another Nine-Tails rampage in Konoha. This should be one of Danzo's concerns, with the fact that no one from the village should get close to Naruto.' Kaida thought.
"I'm not planning on doing anything to him, brother. What do you take me for? I heard how he was being mistreated in the village, which deeply affected Aunt Mikoto. And since Naruto was Kakashi's sensei's son, he too should be troubled by his living condition, with how bad they are. The reason behind that had to be Danzo.
I'm planning on using our attack against Danzo to increase comfort in Naruto's life a little and using that as an excuse for allying with Kakashi."
"That's why you was in such a hurry, huh!" Shisui understood what Kaida was planning and continued, "Okay, I will go check if Kakashi is in the village or not. If he is, I will call him for a meeting in a restaurant."
"A restaurant, not in the Uchiha clan. Also, I will meet him alone," Kaida said.
"Why?"
"He may get intimidated seeing you in the meeting. Also, if by chance he doesn't want to come for the meeting, tell him that it is about his sensei's son," Kaida said.
"Okay, also are you feeling well now?" Shisui asked, remembering the burden Kaida's mind has faced recently.
"Yes, brother, not just well, I am feeling awesome brother, sharingan is really awesome," Kaida said with an ear-to-ear smile.
Obviously, the Sharingan was awesome, and the 3 tomoe was on another level. There was a reason a ninja with the 3 tomoe Sharingan was considered to be a jonin level ninja in Konoha.
Not only did it help increase a ninja's mental capabilities, but it also had one more benefit. When a ninja evolved his Sharingan to the 3 tomoe Sharingan, his base chakra reserve at that moment got increased by 2.5 times the original amount.
Normally it didn't make a huge difference for an Uchiha since they didn't have a high amount of base chakra reserves, but the condition becomes totally different when you have high amounts of chakra like Kaida did.
"Fine then, I will go and check on Kakashi," Shisui said and went out of the room.
