（ this time, it works. there is a small surge of chakra, reddish orange like the painted smear of a sunset, that flares briefly around blue's hand and is thereafter absorbed.
hm. ）
Interesting.
（ because that's not a worrying thing to hear from the guy using you as a guinea pig or anything...? ）
How do you feel?
（ it shouldn't be dissimilar to the usual method he uses to transfer chakra, but the delivery system is... different, so he cannot say for certain. generally, he has only sealed weapons or techniques — as with amaterasu when he died. ）
[Blue withdraws his hand and looks at it, filled with that same warmth that courses through and fortifies him, invigorates. he lifts his eyes up to Itachi, surprised.]
It's...the same. As when you would...signal with your hands.
[after a moment of just rubbing the pads of his fingers and thumb against each other, he shifts his focus back to the page, curious to see if anything is visibly different.]
（ the page is now curiously blank and completely inert. it looks like nothing else so much as a simple sheet of paper. tags are designed to be reused as necessary, though they do not survive being blown up. given that a shinobi can only carry so much on a mission, it would be wasteful for them to be so easily discarded.
itachi says nothing, simply watches as blue ruminates on the paper. his head is faintly cocked as he observes him. ）

（ it's a satisfied hm this time. ）
Good. I will ensure you have several of these on the next mission.
（ chakra is an easy thing to give — it replenishes, and he feels... stronger, under the medical care of doctor mccoy. ）

...Thank you. For sharing this with me.

（ perhaps that's deliberate. perhaps it isn't. either way, he stands up. ）
I will leave you to your evening.

does he think...his use is what is most valuable to Blue, hm?]
