The woman’s reassurance was all that Kazui needed. Shodaime understood the importance of the girl locating her brother, so it didn’t appear to be an issue for her to keep an eye out, it was a pretty good eye to say the least - perhaps the lady could see more than Kazui ever could with her byakugan. Nonetheless, a smile curled on Kazui’s lips as she gave the woman a nod, her dark orbs averting away as Shodaime winked at her of course. It wasn’t a secret at this point, the girl had made it clear that she liked the boy - so who could judge?

"Thank you so much, Lady Shodaime.” The girl spoke as she stood from her seated position and stretched her arms out wide, a sigh of relief escaping her breath as she turned to face the lady one last time. "I’m glad that we got the chance to talk.”

It wasn’t a long talk, but it was definitely a meaningful one. It allowed the two of them to patch things up and try to see everything from a different perspective. It meant a lot that the Hyūga apologized for what she said, and it meant even more when she shared her thoughts on the village and how things were affecting her. It sucked, but at least she wasn’t blindly following them along.

"It’ll probably be best if I..continued on my journey. Plus I wouldn’t doubt if Kazuto had someone out looking for you, so please do be safe.” Kazui explained as she collected herself, preparing to head back down the path to search for her brother. However, if there was more that Shodaime wished to say, then the girl wouldn’t mind giving her a listening ear.

Always Passively Active:
NAME: Kagura Shingan [Kagura Mind's Eye]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu // Hijutsu
ELEMENT: N/a
DESCRIPTION:
This ability allows the user to find, sense, and track individuals through their chakra over vast range that exceeds ten kilometers. This is done by focusing and opening the mind's eye, though due to the low chakra cost many users keep it active often. The ability also extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's chakra made from dishonest emotions or detecting if someone, including the user, is under a genjutsu. Also by focusing on a particular chakra, the user can perceive its location and movement with great detail.

Little Know It All - Extreme Intelligence
It was no secret that Kazui was regarded as a scholar when she was in the academy. One of the smartest in her class, the Uchiha often found herself correcting and/or helping out people older than herself. Many considered her very intellectual then, but that was just only the surface of her potential. Now, the girl is regarded as a genius, her IQ is nothing to be taken lightly or to be taken for granted, even as a young chunin. The teen possesses amazing mental capacity, is able to concentrate flawlessly even in the heat of battle, can calculate things in her head with great speed, and is able to remember many things with perfect recollection, even if it’s just useless information that is meant to be disregarded. In addition to that, Kazui is very deductive, competent, and witted. Her mind is the most dangerous weapon she possesses for many reasons. The girl is highly alert, aware, and very analytical, and she is also very ingenious and is capable of thinking outside of the box as well. Not only is she capable of reading, analyzing, and breaking down a person’s fighting style, but she can also determine what kind of person they are just by the way they speak, the way they carry themselves, and their thoughts on certain things. While doing this, it’s incredibly difficult to deceive the girl, especially if one is not skilled in the art of deception. Furthermore, Kazui can formulate numerous plans to certain situations in mere seconds. She thinks 10 steps ahead, and always has a back up plan just incase.

Gone In The Wind - Blistering Speed
As a child, Kazui was born weaker than others. Her health conditions set the girl at a disadvantage physically since birth, however her constant effort and drive to become the best has pushed her far beyond many others the same rank as herself. Her speed is nothing to be taken lightly, she has pushed herself physically to be able to not only outpace her opponent, but outright force them into keeping up with her and pushing them to the brink with her speed as well. The girl is fast, quick, and agile, even rivaling those who dedicated their entire life to the art of taijutsu to the point where if they haven’t specifically honed their speed, then the girl could outright outclass them in that regard. Those with weak perception often have trouble perceiving the girl’s movements, and to a normal human’s eye perceiving her is nigh impossible. All of her movements are inhumanly quick and hard to keep track of, and when used in conjunction with her sharingan, it can make her a formidable opponent for even the strongest of shinobi.

The Minimalist - Chakra Control
There was a problem that Kazui noticed during her time in the academy and that was the fact that she often found herself tiring out and exhausting herself rather quickly, even when she had just started she could feel herself beginning to wilt. So to counter those measures, the girl studied and asked around, trying to find the reason behind it and if there was a way she could fix it. She wasn’t born with massive reserves so while she utilized her justus, she often did so wastefully. But now, the girl has managed to control the amount of chakra she uses in a technique that allows her to fight much longer than before. She uses the absolute bare minimum of the chakra that’s needed, and not a drop more.

Uchiha Bloodline: Two Tomoe Sharingan
Being born within the Uchiha clan, Kazui has been blessed and/or cursed with a power that only an Uchiha can possess and use to its complete and full potential when they have experienced extreme emotions that causes their chakra to pour into their optic nerves, gifting them with the Sharingan, also known as the eyes that reflect the heart. There are three stages to the sharingan, and it is tracked by the amount of tomoe that appears around an Uchiha’s pupil. One tomoe unlocks the eye of insight, it grants the user the ability to see chakra within an opponent or ally and it also gives an increase to the user’s perceptive abilities. Two tomoe grants the user the eye of hypnotism, while in turn increasing the previous abilities that the ‘Eye of Insight’ grants. The girl’s precognition and perception is heightened well beyond what’s achievable by even the most skilled and elite shinobi, allowing her more of a predictive insight on her opponent as well as the world around her. In terms of her being able to track extremely fast objects and people alike, the eye also allows a natural reactive ability that helps her respond more accurately than a single tomoe could ever allow. As for the ability to see chakra, with a second tomoe the smallest and most faint sources of chakra can easily be spotted by the eye without any issue at all. Assigning color and analyzing the flow of the chakra, Kazui can tell which nature is going to be used as well as where the chakra will be coming from.

The Eye of Hypnotism on the other hand is much different than the previous eye, it allows the girl the ability to cast and break genjutsu with no issue at all, in a way only the Uchiha are capable of. It also gives her access to a set of genjutsu only known to those who possess great visual prowess amongst the clan. These illusions are very powerful in nature and are some of the most dangerous known to the art, they are well beyond standard genjutsu, and in addition the illusions can be casted with just a single glare. Those who met her gaze will find themselves under her spell before they can even realize what happened.

Tiny Dancer - Elusiveness
Kazui is one quick girl, which isn’t hard to tell. Thanks to her training, the girl has amazing agility and reflexes that allow her to keep herself out of harms way. Even without her sharingan being active, Kazui possesses sharp perceptive abilities and reflexes that allows her to become an escape artist of some sort as well as a complete nuisance to those trying to fight her. The girl’s reaction speed is superb and not to be taken lightly as it is, however, when the dojutsu is active, taking into account the girl’s great speed and adding her keen reflexes into the mix, it’s capabilities are much more potent and useful to the Uchiha. With this, not only is Kazui capable of keeping track of even the most renowned speediest opponents and attacks, the girl is able to keep up with, and react to them as well with relative ease.

Wake Up To Reality - KME Genjutsu Prowess
As an Uchiha it is believed that Kazui and many of her clanmen were born with a natural affinity for the art of genjutsu, but of course none of it can ever come to fruition if there is no effort placed behind it. However, since she was constantly reminded by those around her about that fact, the girl began to focus on the art more than ever before.

Although her illusions do become much more elaborate, less flawed in a certain sense, and stronger, the true results come more in the form of defending herself against genjutsu. Her vast knowledge of the art as well as her training and extremely high sensory capabilities allow for the Uchiha’s escape efforts to be significantly stronger than it normally is, allowing her to free herself from genjutsu up to 1 rank above what she is typically capable of via the special ability granted to the Uchiha with The Sharingan’s genjutsu escape. It should be noted however that genjutsu reversal does not receive any additional boosts from this ability.

Sleight of Hand - Seals Master
As Kazui grew older and gained more experience and familiarity with the ninja arts, the girl’s chakra control had essentially been mastered along with her speed and accuracy with forming hand-seals. Countless of hours spent training, learning, and even creating new jutsu has made the girl grow familiar with every seal needed to perform any jutsu, every motion for every combination, her body absorbed and memorized - allowing her to flow through the motions with no given thought or effort. Her speed with forming these seals is insanely quick and precise, she’s even capable of stringing together the lengthiest combinations of hand seals and casting jutsu faster than most can even dream of keeping up with, making it appear as if she hadn’t even tried to use any hand-seals to begin with. Her vast knowledge and familiarity with sealing in addition to her refined chakra control has lead her to being able to utilize only a single hand to form a seal as well, though she only does this under certain circumstances.

[Hyūga Shodaime]

"Stay safe, kid. Don't take many unnecessary risks on your travels." Shodaime would say to Kazui as she prepared to leave to continue her search for her brother. Before Kazui would make her way down the path to leave, Shodaime would grab her and pull her in for a hug. She was glad she was finally able to apologize to Kazui for her actions before she had left the village and the talk they just had, left her with a sense of closure for the two kunoichi.

Shodaime would sigh as she released Kazui from her hug. Shodaime would still have a lot of time to think about what Kazui had said. Maybe it was the best for her to leave the village behind and be with Kayaku for the rest of her day. But then again, she would be letting people down who would need her medical expertise and be a criminal constantly on the run if she had left the village. It was a decision she couldn't make lightly, especially since it would be a major stepping stone for her life. She had people in the village that depended on her even if one of those people had lost a lot of faith and trust in her. Knowing what she did, it would probably take a major event for her to consider running away from her current life.

Stopping in her tracks, Kazui would be turned towards the lady as she pulled her into a hug - wishing the girl safe travels and reminding her not to take any unnecessary risk while she was away. Normally, Kazui would be on edge and would simply shove the woman away but instead…it was nice to have someone show that they truly cared. Kazui would bring her arms up and hug the lady in return - it had been a while since she felt needed, wanted, and loved. It reminded the girl of her mother Hiruko, someone the girl truly missed with a passion.

The girl simply chuckled softly beneath her breath as she gave the woman a nod and a wave once the two had broken their embrace. "I’ll try not to, Lady Shodaime. But I can’t guarantee anything..” It was true, the way that the shinobi system was set up - unnecessary risks often found the girl even when she tried her best to avoid trouble and like the headstrong girl that she’d always been, Kazui would more than likely push back whenever prompted to do so. Nevertheless, she would give the Hyuga a wave before taking off down the path, a bit unsure of where she should go next. Perhaps the girl would simply just follow the wind - as it was forever moving much like herself.
