After repeatedly confirming that the violent chakra reaction in her body had subsided, Kuroto breathed a sigh of relief and started to test the changes in her body after wearing the 'Type I Biological Armor'.
For one, because of the external supply from the 'Type I Biological Armor' the Yang chakra in her body has enhanced which is the reason the discomfort caused by the two pairs of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan also subsided.
'Although just a piece of external layer, the effects of the 'Type I Biological Armor' are still so amazing… the cells of Shodaime Hokage-sama are really a treasure trove of wonder.
These results were well within his expectations, however, expectations and reality are generally quite different. However, here, the data he obtained from Karin's body clearly surprised him.
'It seems the results are this good because Karin is an Uzumaki.' Thought Kuroto as he looked at Karin's red hair.
Of course, this is just a conjecture, and it's entirely possible that it is because of Karin's special physique, what's actually the case can not be determined at this point. He will have to conduct some research on that.
It's just that Kuroto has limited data at this time and can not conduct research to find out the exact reason.
"Regardless of what's the case… if I use Karin and Shodaime-sama's cells and manage to perfectly fuse them, I might be able to obtain a perfect Sage body that is very close to Rikudo Sennin's level." – muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful expression.
Among the two sons of Rikudo Sennin the younger one… that is… Otsutsuki Asura was born with the body of Rikudo Sennin, and if the information Kuroto has is correct, the Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan are the direct descendants of Otsutsuki Asura.
So, theoretically speaking, as long as the physical traits of the Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan can be fused into a single body, then it is possible that that body will have the traits of Otsutsuki Asura.
What's interesting here is that as we know, the strength of Otsutsuki Asura's yang chakra is enough to undergo several cycles of reincarnations, which means that if a body that has traits of Otsutsuki Asura's body is obtained the threshold of eternal life can also be reached.
Although this type of eternal life is imperfect, it is better than nothing.
Unaware of Kuroto's thoughts, Karin liked the warmth of 'Type I Biological Armor' and spoke in comfort, "Kuroto-sama… this is so good… I feel my entire filled with warmth. My head doesn't hurt anymore either."
Karin's words brought Kuroto out of his train of thought, he looked at her expression, and explained, "That is because this 'Type I Biological Armor' is constantly supplying you Yang Chakra through the Umbilical Cord attached to your naval. I don't think you are aware of this but this armor is made up of Shodaime Hokage-sama cells who was a member of the Senju Clan… The Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan are the descendants of the same ancestors, so both clans are highly compatible with each other. Therefore, the Yang chakra that you are receiving from this armor has a very positive effect on you and your body."
"Is… is that so?" muttered Karin as she tilted her head. She sort of understood what Kuroto was explaining.
Kuroto nodded, and continued, "Shodaime Hokage-sama was likely the strongest Senju in the history of the Senju Clan. Although he died a few decades ago, his cells still remain and are extremely strong. So strong, that keeping them under control is a highly challenging task. Even I can't confidently say that I can keep them under control… that's how violent they are.
In a normal situation, it won't be surprising if those cells eat up the Biological Armor and start to affect your body, turning you into a tree."
Karin's smile disappeared "What?!" she looked at Kuroto in fright, and asked, "Then… then… does that mean… I will turn into a tree?!"
Kuroto smiled and said, "Don't worry it won't happen. As I said, that is only under normal situations. For one I have reduced the activity of Shodaime Hokage-sama's cells before using them for creating the armor. And secondly, this armor has only thirty percent cells of Shodaime Hokage-sama, for the rest, it has my cells.
As long as I continue to inject my Chakra into the Armor once every few days, Shodaime Hokage-sama's cells won't be able to take over."
Hearing Kuroto's explanation, Karin breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as I don't turn into a tree."
Kuroto's expression turned serious, as he spoke, "Even if you are safe now because of the 'Type I Biological Armor' you can't be careless. In fact, you have to be extra careful now that you have this. The way this armor works, it will supply you with Yang chakra, however, there is a cost, and the cost is that it will constantly absorb nutrients from your body to create physical Energy.
After all, for moulding Chakra, mental and physical energies are required, mental energy will come from the Chakra I will inject, however, the physical energy will be taken from your body.
Therefore, your food intake will increase to maintain the supply of nutrients. Additionally, the presence of those pairs of eyes also means that your mental energy will be drained constantly, so you must also meditate regularly."
Unlike Zetsu which can continue to exist with water and sunlight, the 'Type I Biological Armor' requires proper nutrients. And the only way it can obtain nutrients is through the host.
Karin will have to provide for the armor as well, therefore, it's quite natural that her appetite will double.
When she heard that she can eat as much as she wants without any restrictions, Karin became happy.
After he had explained everything to her, Kuroto took Karin to her room and instructed her to rest.
While returning back to his laboratory, Kuroto couldn't help but think about another feature of the 'Type I Biological Armor' that he just realized.
Because 'Type I Biological Armor' doesn't have a sentience of its own, it's possible to control it using Tenseigan. Moreover, Kuroto can even use Tenseigan Soul Descent and transfer his soul inside it should he feel like it.
"Well, that's an added advantage… but I guess I won't be using it."

Konohagakure
Under the evening glow of the setting sun, Neji left the Konoha Ninja Academy and returned to the Hyuga district with an excited smile on his face.
Although his father wasn't able to come to watch the assessment, Neji is still very excited. The reason is that this time, he defeated Sasuke as well as Rock Lee and ranked first in the assessment.
As for Naruto? Well, he had indeed managed to absorb a lot of Natural Energy and entered the Sennin Mode during the assessment, however, all the Natural Energy he had absorbed was exhausted before his match against Sasuke or Neji, and was easily defeated by Sasuke.
Overall, this time the winner is him, and he wanted to tell this news to his father.
Thinking of the smile that his father would have upon learning this news, Neji's footsteps quickened and he hurried back to the Hyuga District.
However, as soon as he entered the Hyuga District, Neji noticed that there was a strange silence in the district. All the clansmen he encountered on the way seemed to be rushing somewhere.
"What could have happened?" muttered Neji with a doubtful expression.
Remembering that his father had gone on a mission, and didn't even come to attend the assessment despite the promise he made, Neji couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and his pace quickened.
