Just like that.
A week passed.
Everything was calm.
Root's Ninja was unusually calm as if she was brewing something.
Only the internal staff knew.
All the researchers were recalled to study a certain blood in the base all night.
Neri was among them.
As the core researcher, she could come into contact with Naruto's cells at close range.
Looking at the cells in the test tube, her eyes were full of desire.
This was the research she had dreamed of.
As time went by, the research finally had a breakthrough.
"Found it! I found it!" With a cheer, everyone looked up, and even Danzo looked over.
He saw a researcher with an excited expression.
"I've discovered the mystery of this Kekkei Genkai."
Danzo stepped forward and stared at the researcher, signaling him to continue.
Due to being locked onto by Danzo's aura, the researcher's expression was a little miserable.
Danzo's ruthlessness was famous.
If he couldn't give a reason, he would end up dead.
He took a deep breath and organized his words.
"Uzumaki Naruto's cell activity is very high, so his recovery ability is far better than ordinary people's. I originally thought that it was because he had Kyubi's Chakra."
"But after some research, I found that the Chakra in his blood cell is somewhat different from the sample of Kyubi's Chakra we saved before."
After the words fell, there was a lot of discussion at the scene
Several researchers asked, "That's impossible. As long as Kyubi is in Uzumaki Naruto's body, Chakra will definitely affect his body."
"Theoretically speaking, that is the case." In the face of doubt, the researcher was calm and unhurried.
"Based on the information from each previous Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails is sealed in the abdomen, and its chakra is perfectly sealed as well. However, due to the Nine-Tails' immense power, a small portion of its chakra may leak out from the seal, affecting the Jinchuriki's body."
"This is also why Kyubi's Jinchuriki, has the risk of going berserk."
The researcher's words made everyone nod. Someone raised a question, "Then what does this have to do with our research?"
"Of course it has to do with it! With Kyubi's powerful strength, his Chakra will definitely overflow from Naruto's body. Even if the blood is extracted, there will definitely be Chakra left in the blood."
Then, he changed the topic.
"But what if he has an even stronger power in his body that can suppress Kyubi's Chakra?"
The researchers were in an uproar.
Neri's eyes suddenly turned cold. A bug crawled out of her body and sneaked into her mouth, disappearing into Root's base.
Considering Naruto's power and strength, Neri still decided to stand on Naruto's side.
"You mean that the energy in Naruto's body perfectly protects himself, causing Kyubi's Chakra to only be able to hide in the seal? That's impossible. What kind of energy is so powerful?"
"Because of this energy," the researcher adjusted his glasses, looking serious, "it is a power that can rival the Nine-Tails' chakra, and we are not unfamiliar with this power! It has extremely high vitality and can also manifest various attributes—that's Reiatsu! Naruto possesses Reiatsu within his body!"
"In other words, his Kekkei Genkai is related to Reiatsu! He is related to Hollow!"
When he finished his words, everyone was shocked.
Hearing this speculation, Danzo widened his eyes in shock and all the information about Naruto appeared in his mind.
The water system Genjutsu, Kekkei Genkai, was not Ninjutsu, but Kidō, who had the same power as Ninjutsu.
If the power system that Kidō used was Reiatsu.
Then everything could be explained.
Kidō was not the ability born by Genjutsu and Kekkei Genkai, but the ability released by Reiatsu.
Naruto's Kekkei Genkai was not Genjutsu or Kekkei Genkai, but
Reiatsu!
The researcher's analysis was not over yet.
"Through Hollow's previous research, we have roughly confirmed that Reiatsu can distort the soul into Hollow. This also means that the person who controls Reiatsu is likely to be the one who created Hollow."
Everyone looked at each other and finally made a guess:
"The first time Hollow appeared was in Konoha's collapse plan, and at that time, Uzumaki Naruto was also in Konoha."
"Yes, everything makes sense!" Danzo was shocked.
He murmured, "Uzumaki Naruto and Orochimaru colluded to study Reiatsu and Hollow together. Through Orochimaru's research, his strength improved so quickly. He even jumped from Chunin to Kage-rank at this age. He didn't report everything because he had long wanted to betray Konoha!"
"What he did was just what we wanted to see and hear."
"Pa!" The laboratory suddenly rang with crisp applause, and then a figure gracefully walked into the laboratory.
"Your analysis is really good. It seems that I still underestimated Root's research ability." The voice was full of magnetism and gentleness.
But everyone's expression changed after hearing the voice.
"Uzumaki Naruto!!!" Danzo shouted.
The figure walked out from the darkness, revealing a head of golden hair that was as bright as the sun and a pair of pure blue eyes.
It was Uzumaki Naruto!
"Danzo Sensei, I must apologize to you." Naruto bowed elegantly and politely.
"Orochimaru and I treat Root's research ability as trash. Now you can prove yourself with practical actions."
Naruto's crisp footsteps echoed in the space.
Everyone watched as Naruto approached with leisurely and confident steps.
They were puzzled.
This was Root's base camp!
Kage-rank's expert, Danzo, was here, and there were countless Jonin outside.
No matter how one looked at it, his behavior was as if he wanted to make things difficult for Root.
Did he not care about his life
Under the furious gaze of Danzo, Naruto chuckled. "In order to express my apology, I ask you all to die."
When the words fell, everyone was shocked.
Danzo shouted angrily, "Enemy attack!"
Neri was mixed in among the researchers, her eyes deep.
Her communication bug had just left the laboratory. It was impossible to inform Naruto in such a short time.
Then there was only one truth.
Naruto had been listening to everything on the spot.
He did not trust himself.
This was also a test for him.
What kind of terrifying strength was this to be able to so easily block out so much of Ninja's perception?
Neri was shocked, but at the same time, she also let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she chose to stand on Naruto's side.
She and Naruto's eyes met for a short time.
Naruto's gaze was filled with satisfaction.
It seemed that she had made the right choice. Now, she had temporarily won Naruto's trust.
Then she only needed to sit and watch the tiger fight.
No matter which side won, she could express her center of gravity and harvest countless cute organs.
Neri secretly nodded and began to slowly retreat.
At the same time, the laboratory was in chaos.
Buzz. Kyōka Suigetsu's ability poured out, and the entire laboratory seemed to have fallen into water, rippling and swaying.
In Neri's line of sight, whether it was Danzo or the other researchers, they all stood in the same place, looking anxious, but they were indifferent to their departure.
"What a terrifying ability. This is definitely not a simple control of vision!" Neri took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, and quickly ran towards the door of the laboratory.
Along the way, she saw that all Ninjas in Root's base looked dull and even started to kill each other.
The entire Root base was silent, only the sound of Kunai stabbing into the body and the strong smell of blood.
Neri knew.
Root was finished.
