Tashi felt after his attack the chakra depletion to kick in, which buckles his knees and he had to quickly plant his katana tip down on the ground. Blade still humming red from heat and power which he channeled through it to unleash it's fiery wrath upon his foe. But seeing that his action at least cut off the other nin from attacking his teammates, that is worthy price for pay for him along with burns in his hands and fingers.<br/><br/>So when Maki arrived and made her questions, his eyes were closed and faced down while he was banthing in exhaustion, Maki could see his hands had been severely burned but compared to his foe he was a much healthier state. Tashi felt something weird was going on, even depleted his chakra was acting completely different fashion and it felt mixture of nauseating and blissful. As if he is flexing a muscle which has been very long numb.<br/><br/>It took while for Tashi gather any amount of breath to speak and he lifted his face up towards Maki, exhausted and his eyes slightly parted.....even slightly parted his irises burned fiercely in beautiful hypnotic scarlet color, in dim light his eyes blazed while he spoke; "A...Mibu secret jutsu technique....forbidden to use......until mastered......and only to....protect. I....learned it....secret....my....secret....trump card."<br/><br/>Tashi spoke about<em>kiujutsu</em>, a forbidden techniques which cause harm to the users of the said technique. Maki may have heard that Mibu clan has handful of said techniques and that they were either fire, wind or water techniques. A powerful offensive techniques which combined both elemental might and swordplay. But she had never known, or even suspected, that Tashi had known such technique in first place! But then again he did practice privately in his own clan dojo, so if he got scroll or symphatic elder he may have learned basic technique and as he said it; has not yet mastered it and so it caused burns on his hands which he have now. Not to mention to pull off said technique is beyond usual ability of genins so it has been lucky shot he had got it through when he had wanted it to!<br/><br/>Either way, she recognizes the red glow in Tashi's eyes as sign of his bloodline for being activated. She had seen same glow dozens of times from older Mibu clan members who surrender willingly to the bloodlust to become unstoppable killing machines. But usually the frenzy stops when fight itself stops but the glow in his eyes does not cease at all! Also it had different sort of....glow, more vibrant, alive and hypnotic. Also Tashi, despite exhausted was managed to logical thought....yet another aspect which should not be possible when Red Eyes are active! As users are barely capable to speech or thought and able only use simple taijutsu techniques. Maki sensed Tashi is under effects of Red Eye bloodline, his chakra behaved similar to those who have the bloodline active but his chakra was more stable, not erratic but more like steady glow around Tashi.<br/><br/>So a something very weird was going on Tashi.....<br/><br/>(I leave it up to debate does Maki know legend about 'true red eyes' or not, as most there has been only less than handful ever true red eye users and to most outsiders of Mibu clan there may been not much difference when said person has gone to action but may had wondered the constant eye glow state)
