Anomaly

Upon seeing Kazuki's Clone Technique, Shiro and Minato frowned, as they noticed that her Chakra flow seemed a bit off.

"What's wrong? Why do you all look like that? Is Kazuki's problem very serious?"

Faced with Kushina's question, Shiro and Minato didn't know what to say. They only had a general idea, so after pondering for a while, Minato asked Kazuki to explain the chakra flow of her Clone Technique Chakra Technique.

"That's how Chakra."

After listening, Shiro and Minato exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

"Hey! What's going on?! Can you guys explain?"

"Well, let me put it this way, boss. The reason why Kazuki's Clone Technique failed to work was because there was a problem with the Chakra flow. That's why we asked her to see if she had learned it wrong. It turns out that the Clone Technique that Kazuki learned was fine."

"So the problem must lie with her. Here's what we'll do, Kazuki, try reducing the amount of Chakra you're refining, and then use the Clone Technique. I'll help you find the problem."

Upon hearing this, Kazuki nodded and began refining with her eyes closed. However, it didn't go smoothly; the life force was too strong, and even a simple refining yielded many [units of something].

So, after a while, Kazuki opened her eyes and asked, "Um, do you know how to reduce the amount of Chakra extracted?"

Minato, Shiro: "."

They really had no idea how to solve this problem. Their Chakra wasn't much to begin with, and reducing it was as simple as controlling it. They usually thought about how to increase it, so they didn't really have any special skills in this area.

Kushina was no exception. She hadn't experienced many battles, and she had never encountered a situation where she needed to reduce the amount of Chakra had refined, so naturally she didn't have the corresponding techniques.

Minato thought for a moment and said, "How about this, there's no need to reduce it. Just release some of the refined Chakra."

"Hmm, I'll give it a try." With that, he closed his eyes and began to try Minato's method.

As Kazuki closed her eyes, a gentle breeze wafted over from her. However, due to her Chakra control issues, she didn't react in time several times and ended up emptying all her Chakra.

Then, Shiro thought for a moment and decided not to give any more immediate reminders, because Chakra control is not so easy to train, and besides, he didn't know Kazuki's situation yet, so whether his control could be improved was still a question.

Therefore, Shiro changed his approach. When Kazuki still had some Chakra left, he reminded her in advance. After several attempts, he finally succeeded.

Then, Shiro walked behind Kazuki, placed his right hand on her shoulder, and said, "Alright, you can use the Clone Technique now. Don't resist it later, so as not to interfere with my Analysis."

Kazuki hesitated and looked at Kushina. Compared to Shiro, Kushina, being a member of the same clan, was more trustworthy. After all, in her eyes, Shiro was a ninja. Although he had saved her, there was still some distance between them.

After all, no matter how mature she is, she is still essentially just a 12-year-old girl. It's one thing to not have any relatives, but now that she has met them, she will naturally feel a little dependent on them.

"Don't worry, trust Shiro. This is something he excels at. He'll definitely find out the reason for you," Kushina comforted her with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Kazuki straightened her expression and began to gather the remaining Chakra within her body. At the same time, she also sensed a probing power. Just as she was about to subconsciously reject it, she suddenly remembered Shiro's words.

He suppressed the impulse again and focused on casting the Clone Technique.

Unsurprisingly, Kazuki failed again, but this time, Shiro found the reason.

As the smoke cleared, Kushina saw Shiro frowning and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"

"Tsk, how should I put it? Some of Kazuki's Chakra meridians have mutated, causing a forced change in the normal flow of Chakra, resulting in the failure of Ninjutsu. It's not a problem with control."

"But Kagura can use her Mind's Eye."

"Well, I've done some research on that. I've found that bloodline Ninjutsu like Mind's Eye of the Kagura and the Adamantine Sealing Chains have fixed Chakra flow patterns, and some of them don't even use Chakra meridians."

The one who spoke was naturally Kushina, who had studied the Adamantine Sealing Chains and Mind's Eye of the Kagura's Eye with Minato.

"Doesn't that mean Kazuki can't use Ninjutsu?"

"Don't worry, boss. Ordinary Ninjutsu won't work, but you can try the Shadow Chakra Shadow Clone Technique with its automatic chakra allocation. Maybe that will work."

"I just checked, and the abnormal parts are not many, not including the flow of meridians in the Shadow Clone Technique. As long as the boss seals those parts, it will be fine."

"Isn't there a complete solution?" Kushina asked, frowning.

This anomaly doesn't sound like a good thing. Sealing it is simple, but it's only a temporary solution. A complete solution would be the best.

Shiro shook his head. "No, we can't do that right now. Maybe Tsunade has a way, but you know her situation. Let's seal her first. Give me some time, I should be able to handle it."

"This is somewhat similar to a Ninjutsu I'm currently researching; perhaps I can solve it in the future."

"Alright, that's the only way. Let's go back now; we still need to prepare for the seal."

Afterwards, they returned to Kushina's house aboard the Minato-maru and began preparations, hoping to resolve the situation as soon as possible, because they feared the possibility of the mutation spreading.

Therefore, upon returning, Kushina took Kazuki and Shiro to the study to record the location of the meridian anomalies and search for suitable Sealing Jutsu, while Minato checked the Ninjutsu she could use based on Shiro's recent discovery.

This is different from what Kushina and the others did; you just need to avoid it, unlike a seal where you have to consider whether it will affect other things. Therefore, it's much easier.

After finishing all this, it was almost noon, but none of them were in the mood for lunch. Instead, they continued to review the documents in their hands to avoid any mistakes, since they were going to start working that evening.

However, there was nothing Shiro could do to help with what happened after that, so after getting some of Kazuki's blood, he plunged into his makeshift laboratory.

He wasn't just fooling Kushina this morning; he actually does have some knowledge in this area, since his Magic Circuits are a modified version of the system.

Although Shiro didn't think he had anything to offer that the system would exploit, it was still his Magic Circuits, so he should understand it, as it would be beneficial for his future development.

At the same time, the reason why Shiro said he might be able to solve this problem was because he was surprised to find that this part of the mutated meridians was slightly similar to his Magic Circuits.

Shiro didn't know if it was a coincidence or if there were other factors he was unaware of. In any case, he saw hope in this—the hope of transforming the Chakra meridians into Magic Circuits!

Of course, there's a high chance of failure, but isn't that the spirit of science?
