Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

Konoha Village, on the street.

After a brief silence, a sudden burst of discussion erupted.

"Chakra disappeared???"

"Are you kidding me! Chakra is something everyone is born with!"

"So many years have passed, from the Warring States period to the current era of ninja villages, when has chakra ever disappeared?"

"Exactly! Did Tianmu make a mistake this time?"

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade leaned against the window, her expression somewhat strange.

"Chakra disappeared... How could chakra disappear? Is the Heavenly Curtain spouting nonsense again?"

Jiraiya said seriously, "Tsunade, Tenbu wouldn't say such a thing without reason."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to Jiraiya's words, a solemn expression appeared on his aged face.

"Jiraiya is right. The vulnerability that the Sky Curtain mentioned is probably the key point."

"What do you mean?"

"It means we rely too much on chakra. So much so that we've never thought about what we would do without it."

At this moment, they all remembered what Tianmu had once said.

Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The progenitor of chakra.

The chakra was brought by Kaguya... so can she take it back too?

After all, if chakra truly has a source, it's not impossible that it could be taken back.

The celestial backdrop transitions.

Do ninjas die if they run out of chakra?

Under the sky, the ninjas from all timelines were stunned.

In the 60th year of Konoha, on the streets.

One of the ninjas scratched his head. "First they said chakra would run out, now they're talking about whether ninjas will die if they run out of chakra?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"That's right! If a ninja runs out of chakra, he'll die instantly. Isn't that common knowledge in the ninja world?"

"Why is Tianmu suddenly asking about this?"

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

A ninja is at full stamina in normal conditions. Stamina is composed of physical energy and mental energy. By mixing these two types of energy, chakra can be obtained.

At this point, hand seals and other techniques will be used to transform the technique into ninjutsu or genjutsu for practical application in combat.

Once a ninja's chakra and stamina reach zero, the ninja will die and cannot be replenished through conventional means.

In summary, it's not a problem for a ninja to run out of chakra and reach zero, as long as they retain a certain amount of stamina and don't exploit or convert it, they can continue to survive.

After this, ninjas need to recover their stamina through rest and rations before they can continue fighting.

Under the sky, people from different timelines nodded.

"This is practically a consensus in the ninja world."

"Physical strength is converted into chakra, and chakra is used to unleash ninjutsu... We've heard this process since we were little."

"So running out of chakra doesn't mean death, as long as you still have stamina left?"

"Yeah, haven't you noticed? Sometimes after a fight you're so exhausted you collapse on the ground, but you're still alive, that means you still have the stamina."

"What if you run out of stamina too?"

"Wouldn't that mean he'd die?"

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade leaned against the window, and surprisingly, she showed a look of agreement.

"Tenbu is right. As a medical ninja, I've seen too many wounded. As long as their strength isn't completely exhausted and they still have a breath left, they can be saved. But if even that last bit of strength is used up..."

"Then even a god couldn't save him."

Jiraiya put his hands behind his head and sighed.

"Therefore, the worst thing to do in war is to use up all your chakra."

"However, when a ninja only has a little bit of strength left, it means that his chakra has been completely exhausted."

"If the other side makes another move at this point, the ninja will have no way to retaliate."

"Once it gets to that point, life and death will depend on luck."

The text on the screen continued to scroll, this time presenting a specific example.

For example, during the Battle of the Pacific, Sasuke himself stated that his chakra was exhausted after using Fire Release.

However, he did not die, and later even used the Qilin.

After Orochimaru's power was sealed by Itachi's Totsuka Blade, Sasuke couldn't even maintain his Sharingan.

[Even though his chakra was exhausted, Sasuke was still alive.]

[Sasuke's situation is clear: he has preserved the physical strength to maintain a normal life.]

Sound Village, underground laboratory.

Orochimaru stared at the sky with his vertical pupils, then slowly stuck out his tongue and licked his cheek.

"So you could even foresee my possession of Sasuke...."

"It seems Itachi-kun is more interesting than I imagined."

After saying this, the disappointment in his eyes was evident.

Unfortunately, he was no match for Itachi.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to possess Sasuke's body.

The Land of Rain, the Akatsuki's stronghold.

Itachi Uchiha sat in the corner, his eyes closed the whole time.

But when he heard Tenmoku mention Orochimaru, his eyes snapped open.

"Orochimaru, that guy..."

However, he quickly calmed down.

As mentioned before, Sasuke became Orochimaru's father.

In other words, the future Sasuke not only did not become Orochimaru's vessel, but instead successfully turned the tables and subdued Orochimaru.

"..." Itachi was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes slightly.

Never mind then.

Since Sasuke can subdue Orochimaru on his own, there's no need for him to worry about it.

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

Therefore, no matter what stage the battle takes, ninjas need to conserve a little stamina to avoid actual death.

At most, the situation might be that you've exhausted too much energy, resulting in shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.

This meager amount of physical strength absolutely cannot be used to convert chakra, otherwise it will lead to true death.

[No problem with normal chakra use; as long as chakra is depleted but a minimum level of stamina is maintained, a ninja will not die easily.]

However, if the ninja exhausts even this last bit of strength, he will die immediately.

On the high platform in the first year of Konoha.

Hashirama Senju scratched his head, puzzled.

"Ban, what Tenmu said, it seems like nobody taught us that during our Warring States period. Everyone just fought until they died."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha glanced at him and said.

"Ninjas in the Warring States period didn't care about such things. It was either you or me. Running out of chakra meant death, running out of stamina meant death, there was no difference."

Hashirama sighed, "So, in that case, the way we fought before was actually risking our lives."

"It's inherently risking your life."

Ban's gaze fell on the sky, his voice flat and unreadable.

"However, what Tianmu said applies to others, but not to you and me."

At this moment, the people of the ninja world remembered what Tenmu had said earlier: if a ninja lost his chakra, he would become extremely vulnerable.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but twitch their lips.

It's more than just fragile.

Without chakra, the entire ninja world would probably perish.
