By giving them "false deaths" and waiting for the right moment to revive or bring them back to the ninja world when a great threat arises.
Aoki is aware that this world is filled with unexpected dangers, and therefore, thorough preparation becomes a necessity.
Aoki feels that this step, although it sounds unreasonable, is the best way to ensure their safety in the future.
The Shinobi world is becoming increasingly chaotic, and no one knows when a major upheaval will occur. For that reason, Aoki is determined to save everyone he can.
Hearing Aoki's question, Akarin immediately produced Duy's clone body. Aoki quickly prepared, carrying the clone body in a storage scroll. Although the body looked like a real one and appeared to be alive, in reality, the body was in a vegetative state.
Unable to move or interact, the clone body was truly lifeless—dead, even though it appeared physically intact. Therefore, the body could be safely stored in the storage scroll, a place that does not contain oxygen and can only hold inanimate objects.
Aoki knew that this step was one way to prepare for potential greater dangers.
The Shinobi world is full of chaos, and no one knows what will come next. However, Aoki feels that this preparation is the best step to safeguard the future of the Shinobi world.

In a dense forest, three boys knelt, their faces filled with fear and anxiety, staring at seven figures standing before them with a threatening demeanor.
They were Maito Gai, Ebisu, and Shiranui Genma—members of the Choza group, trapped in an increasingly desperate situation.
In front of them, seven ninja stood tall, each holding strange and unique weapons. They were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a legendary group known for their terrifying strength and reputation.
"This is bad... They've cornered us..." Genma said, his face serious and worried.
"There's no way out..." Guy added with a confused expression, his eyes searching for an escape route.
"Impossible... Aren't they the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichininshu...?!" Ebisu murmured, barely able to believe the reality before him.
The seven Ninja Swordsmen merely looked at the three of them with calm and cold gazes, as if they were accustomed to situations like this.
"It seems we've become quite famous; even kids from other villages recognize us." Juzo Biwa, one of the members of the group, said in a flat tone, his eyes still focused on the three young ninjas.
"What should we do? Should we fight them...?" Genma began to speak, but before he could finish his sentence, a figure suddenly appeared among them.
"It seems I arrived just in time!" a loud voice of a man rang clearly in the air, diverting everyone's attention.
"Dad!" Guy exclaimed with a face full of astonishment and a bit of confusion, unable to believe what he had just heard.
"Dad, you're a Genin... What are you doing here?!" Guy asked, concern clearly visible on his face, fearing that his father might be caught in greater danger.
"Don't think about that, go! I will buy you time!" Duy, the father, said loudly, filled with determination.
Even though Duy was just a Genin, his steadfastness showed that he was ready to face the threats before him, even if it meant sacrificing himself—all for the sake of his son, Guy.
