Edward's main body looked at the clone using all five elements Jutsus, and he realized after a basic analysis of the Chakra System that it had more value than expected. As such, he would like to study this world more and reek the benefit.
However, he also knew of the situation back home. He closed his eyes to log into the Akashic Record System.

Edward looked at his status before searching for what he wanted. Many of his titles, like Divine Artificer and Path Finder, increased in strength after he built the Tier 10 Floating City and created the method to quickly reach Tier 8. Nevertheless, he did not depend too much on the record and still hoped to find a way to travel the Omniverse without relying on their coordinates.
Edward then searched for a Universal Time Dilation to spend as much time as possible in the Naruto World without much time passing back home. Unfortunately, this thing involved Omniverse Knowledge and the operation of Void Energy, so it was too expensive for him to buy even if he sold the entire Empire.
So, he asked to speak to a representative, and an AI or spirit showed up.
"My name is Alisha. How can I help you, Sir Edward?"
"I wanted to buy some knowledge from you, but it's too expensive. Is there a way to exchange a final product?"
"Unfortunately, your level of authority…Your sponsor has intervened for you. So, it is possible to buy the final product."
"It seems old man Merlin has not abandoned me," muttered Edward before using his Knowledge Point to exchange something that looked like a metal ball. He tried to see the technology behind it, but every time he looked away for a moment, he forgot his observation of this strange thing.
"Some sort of Anti-Reverse Engineering Technology?"
"That's correct," responded Alisha. "Is there anything else?"
"Yes, I would love some products to heal my injuries."
"Let me check," she responded. "Your sponsor sent you a message: deal with your own bad luck and treat it as a learning opportunity."
"Of course, he would say that. Alright, that's all."
"In that case, have a wonderful day."
After Alisha disappeared, he looked at this thing one last time before putting away. "I'm just happy I did not have to result to Plan B."
His Plan B was to use the Akashic Records to connect to some powerhouses or creatures in the Void that exchanged resources with other universes; in other words, Omniversal Merchants. However, he did not know if such a thing existed, and even if it did, finding some trustworthy one would be a daunting task. Not to mention the other possible problems this method could have.
He then focused on the clone's training.
"How is it going?"
"I've mastered all the Jutsus and their Nature Transformation."
"Oh, what's the data?"
"Nature Transformation is nothing but an advanced form of chakra controls that grants the chakra an elemental property. It is similar to how Arcanist can transform Mana into Fire Elemental Energy to cast certain spells.
"Based on the user's affinity, certain transformations are easier."
"I see," replied the main body. "Anything else?"
"The real discovery of our study is the Chakra System relies heavily on genetics. Let me show you." The clone used Wind and Water Transformation to create Ice. However, a water tornado appeared instead.
"As you can see, without the Yuki Clan's Bloodline Limit, it's impossible to combine these two nature transformations into Ice Release."
"Biological Limitations."
"Exactly. The Chakra Fruit that the Otsutsuki Clan swallows do not only increase chakra" explained the clone. "They absorbed biological/genetic information from the people of the planet and absorbed it through the fruit.
"With this method, they can evolve their genes, allowing their bodies to mold more Chakra."
"This would explain why they have so many different Dojutsus. With such a diverse gene pool, mutations are common and allow them to develop different powers," added Edward.
"Yes, and as you know, genes can carry wills. With each Otsutsuki having so much biological information, it could explain why so many of them are cruel, indifferent, and have different mental problems."
Edward pondered for a moment. "We need to use the situation to our advantage. Let's study these Clan's Bloodline Limits and see if we can reproduce a magical version of these bloodlines."
"Indeed, if we could convert these bloodlines to boost the power of Arcanists, this would be a great discovery." Someone with a magical equivalent of the Yuki Clan's Bloodline Limit can use more powerful Ice Spells than usual or find it easier to learn any knowledge related to Ice Magic. The Uzumaki Clan focused on high stamina and high Chakra amount so that the magical equivalence would grant an Arcanist higher mana on average than their peers, they would have higher generation, and it would make it easier to reach higher tiers.
"There is a chance that a mutation occurred in the Nara Clan's bloodline," commented Edward.
"Yes. Shikamaru's father and son all had very high IQs. If we can replicate their bloodline, the entire Empire would benefit."
Edward knew many fans of Naruto thought that all Nara Clan were genius, but that's not true. However, it is a small anomaly for all three generations of Shikamaru to have IQs above 200.
"If we could have a Magical Rinnegan, it would be beneficial," stated the clone.
"Besides its ability to revive people with small consequences, it's not very useful to me. However, it could be useful for the Empire," commented Edward. "I'm more interested in the Truth-Seeking Ball and Izanagi."
"The Truth-Seeking Ball's concept is similar to the Destruction Ball Spell you created in the previous world. However, unlike your spell, which is a forced and not true fusion, it perfectly fits all Five Elements Release along with Yin-Yang Release. So, if you could recreate a magical version, you would acquire the power of Destruction, capable of erasing people from reality, similar to Dragon Ball's Hakai.
"As for Izanagi, which has the power to turn fiction into reality, there are too many possibilities. We should also get our hands on Hagoromo's Creation of All Things Technique."
Izanagi is a practical application of the Creation of All Things.
"The power of limited creations? That's intriguing," muttered Edward.
"The Infinite Tsukuyomi might have some values," added the clone, and Edward agreed.
"Alright, build me some Neuro-Link Prosthetic so I can help." Although Edward could not regenerate his limbs, he could still use some other methods to have limbs.
The clone built him some wooden prosthetics based on Chakra Puppets' knowledge and asked him to build a better one while it focused on its research, making Edward speechless.
The clone created Clones 2 and 3 and had one use the mana from the ring to become an Arcanist while the other had chakra. Then, he began his experiment. He implemented a 3-Tomoe Sharingan on the clone's eyes and had them try copying Mana Spells.
The result of this experiment is that the Mana Clone could copy Wandcraft Spells, which were the original Harry Potter Spells like Wingardium Leviosa. And the reason for that is these spells relied on Wizard's Magic Veins, which were the magical equivalent of Chakra Network.
So, after the mana inside his body adapted to the Sharingan, it could copy the spells. However, it fails for things like Dragon Tongue, Arcane Runes, and other forms of magic. Nevertheless, the result also showed the Sharingan was excellent for remembering runes–even if they were not applicable in spell casting. It can reduce the time arcanist need to study magic.
The clones conducted further experiments before discovering the Byakugan was an excellent aid for Aura Master and would increase their fighting prowess. If you add the Sixth Sense method of the Knight System, their class was about to have a booming period in the Empire.
Finally, the clones focused on reproducing the Kekkei Genkai or Bloodline they took from the Leaf Village Clan.
"We need more samples," said the main body, who also helped in the research after building himself state-of-the-art prosthetics.
"Yes. We need blood samples from other villages. We can also accelerate the study of the Mangekyu Sharingan and Rinnegan if we have a sample. Plus, we have not even begun studying Nature Energy yet," agreed Clone 1.
"Alright, I'll go out."
