Future Prospects

Generally speaking, in the eyes of these perceptive ninjas, Chakra aura represents their life strength and Chakra reserves.

However, the aura of Chakra does not represent the actual amount of Chakra stored at that moment.

Because Chakra is usually refined during battles; in normal times, one only trains the efficiency of Chakra refinement.

Of course, people with strong vitality can easily refine a lot of chakra, because their vitality is very strong, which also affects the Chakra aura.

Therefore, when a ninja's Chakra is completely exhausted, then he will reach the end of his life.

Just like Kakashi, he didn't die in the battle against Pain, but in the end, he exhausted his last Chakra while saving people and went straight to his father. If it weren't for Nagato's Samsara of Heavenly Life, Kakashi would have been dead.

Therefore, the fact that Taichi's previously weak Chakra aura suddenly became vigorous was something that bothered her.

So, she quietly parted her fingers and saw what was pretty much what she had expected: Shiro was standing behind Taichi, the knife in his hand stuck in Taichi's back.

However, unlike other cases, not only did no blood flow out, but there was also a ring of blue light where the knife touched the back of the blade, which was quite magical.

At that moment, Shiro also noticed Kazuki's gaze. While drawing his sword, he asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"That, knife?"

"Hmm?" Shiro glanced at the Argon Coin in his hand, then casually dispersed it. "This? This is one of my Medical Ninjutsu; it won't cause any harm."

"Is this Ninjutsu? It's amazing."

"Huh? You don't know Ninjutsu?" At this moment, Shikaki walked over and asked.

"No, I'm stupid, I can't learn any Ninjutsu." With that, Kazuki lowered her head dejectedly.

"Uh, I forgot to ask before, you know how to refine Chakra, right?"

"I can do that, but that's about it."

"Tsk, you've done something stupid again. If you can use Mind's Eye of the Kagura, of course you can." Shiro slapped his forehead, only then realizing he had asked a foolish question.

"That makes things easier. I know a Ninjutsu that would suit you well, but, well, you might not like it too much because it's just one style and doesn't have many variations."

"Really? What kind of Ninjutsu?"

"The Shadow Clone Technique can automatically allocate Chakra, which is suitable for you. However, if you're only interested in Ninjutsu, then it's unnecessary."

Shiro wasn't lying to her. If she wanted to be a ninja, then the Shadow Clone Technique was indeed the best choice, as it could greatly enhance Kazuki's strength.

However, if it's just because she likes Ninjutsu, then it's unnecessary, because it doesn't actually help her; she still won't be able to learn other Ninjutsu.

"I see." Kazuki lowered her head in disappointment at first, then quickly raised it again. "But I still want to learn! It's such a rare opportunity! I must give it a try! Thank you, Brother Shiro!"

After saying this, Kazuki immediately bowed to Shiro to express her gratitude, however...

"Uh, you might have misunderstood. I just said you're suitable to learn this, not that I'm going to teach you. I don't have the authority to do so," Shiro said awkwardly, looking at Kazuki who hadn't gotten up yet.

"Thank you anyway!" Although she said that, Kazuki refused to stand up.

Looking at her bright red ears, Shiro shook his head, understanding that if he didn't turn around, Kazuki probably wouldn't get up, and the atmosphere would be very awkward.

So, Shiro pretended to look at the scenery outside, turned around, and said, "But there are people in the village who can teach you."

"Remember that clansman I told you about? She's practically a tyrant in the village now. She can learn a Ninjutsu in no time."

"But then again, why did you learn Ninjutsu? With your status, you don't need to go to the battlefield; the boss will protect you."

Upon hearing this, Shikaki and the others also turned their attention to it.

"..." Kazuki paused for a moment, then said, "Because I don't want to experience that kind of life again, where I have no ability to protect myself and have to hide every day. I want to have my own power!"

"I hope that one day, I will be the one protecting my own life!"

"Heh, you will. You're from the Uzumaki Clan. As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll definitely succeed. Good luck." After saying that, Nakamura turned back to control the giant bird.

"The captain is right. Trust your bloodline; nothing in this world is more convincing than that."

"Besides, no one will send you to the battlefield unless you want to. You'll see when you get there."

"Well, I'll look forward to it then." After saying that, Kazuki walked to the side and began to practice the hand seals her mother had taught her. Shiro glanced at her and felt that she was very unfamiliar with it. One reason was her talent, but more importantly, it was a matter of proficiency.

Based on the experience borrowed by Shiro, if Kazuki's Chakra control is also quite good, given the talent she has shown so far, her future achievements should be quite impressive.

However, without knowing the specifics, Shiro didn't dare to draw any conclusions. He just glanced at it briefly before closing his eyes and meditating to recover the energy he had expended during this time.

Taichi had felt a little awkward ever since Shiro started treating his injuries, because he discovered that his deteriorating eyesight had been restored!

Thinking back on everything that had happened, he felt that Shiro seemed to know a lot about the Sharingan. He considered that it was possible that White Fang had told him, but he still felt something was off.

However, thinking about Shiro's secrets, he felt relieved. After all, Shiro was his teammate, a teammate who had saved him many times.

He believed that Shiro must have his reasons for not speaking, and he chose to believe Shiro.

After making his decision, he closed his eyes to rest, though the energy he had expended was no less than that of Shiro and the others.

After all, he forcibly activated the Mangekyo Sharingan and then forcibly controlled the Tailed Beast. Don't be fooled by how easily he managed to issue a few simple commands at the time.

In reality, his battle with the Tailed Beast is invisible; it's a battle on a mental level, and therefore far more dangerous!

Fortunately, the Mangekyō Sharingan was powerful enough, otherwise the outcome would have been very uncertain.

Therefore, under the dual pressure, he was actually quite tired.

To be honest, everyone was exhausted from this mission. Shikaki needed to constantly think about combat plans, Nakamura needed to grasp the overall battle situation and be prepared to provide support at any time.

Therefore, everyone was actually resting, except for Kazuki who was cultivating, including Shiro. His meditation this time was only for nourishing his spirit, which is what we commonly call sleeping.
