This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 203 Genius Meiyue

When Nishikawa Tetsu pushed open the door to his office in the research lab, there was no dust inside; instead, the temperature was kept comfortable thanks to the operation of the constant temperature system.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the entire operation of the research institute.

On the plaza below, several trucks loaded with supplies were unloading.

A low rumble could be heard from the ninja development area in Building C, clearly indicating that Hiruko was conducting some rather noisy experiment again.

In the biomedical area of ​​Building A, you can occasionally see a few figures in white coats hurrying by.

"It runs very smoothly."

Nishikawa Tetsu walked to the desk and gently ran his fingers over the neatly arranged documents on the surface.

The research institute is no longer the makeshift operation it once was, with only him, Orochimaru, and a few others struggling to keep it afloat.

Each project team has a leader, sufficient funding, and enough materials.

As the vice dean, he now acts more as a helmsman, only needing to grasp the general direction and approve core research projects and funding flows.

He sat down in the comfortable leather chair, took out a black notebook, and turned to a new page.

Summary of the Grass Country Campaign.

He wrote these words on the paper, then paused for a moment.

The two core objectives of this trip have been successfully achieved.

First, Team 7 survived. Although Obito awakened his Sharingan, he wasn't corrupted by Madara. Instead, due to the bond between Minato and his comrades, he became a steadfast protector of Konoha. The tailed beast within Rin was also resealed, and the tragedy known as "Kannabi Bridge" was a thing of the past. The price was that Konoha lost two heroes with Sharingan but gained a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

Second, the combat data of scientific ninja tools and military equipment has been collected, and the results are indeed good, but it has also exposed many shortcomings.

"It still needs to be changed."

"The next steps will focus on two directions: greater power and greater mobility. The electromagnetic railgun series of weapons for individual combat need further optimization, while strategic weapons..."

The image of blasting the Third Raikage away flashed through his mind.

"Perhaps we should try out the concept of chakra-guided cannons or satellite strikes? But that's too far-fetched. Let's take care of the big guys on the ground first."

In addition to offense, there is also reconnaissance.

Nishikawa Tetsuya tapped the paper heavily with his pen and wrote the words "White Zetsu".

That creature that could move freely underground and even bypass perception barriers remained a thorn in his side.

If White Zetsu really wants to infiltrate the core of Konoha, their current methods are insufficient.

"The accuracy of bio-electromagnetic wave amplifiers needs to be improved, as relying solely on bioelectric reactions is easily interfered with."

Nishikawa Tetsu narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"If only we could catch a White Zetsu and slice it up to study... those things have Hashirama cells."

When the topic of stalk cells came up, Nishikawa Tetsu's throat bobbed involuntarily.

Those are the cells of the God of Shinobi, and they're also great for boosting physical energy and balancing the side effects of the Sharingan.

"I wonder if I could ask that third-generation old man for some samples of first-generation cells?"

Nishikawa Tetsu thought for a moment, then shook his head.

That would be a grave sin of desecrating the remains of the former Kage. The Third Hokage, that old relic, would probably not agree to it and might even lock him in a dark room to reflect on his actions. It would be more appropriate for Lord Orochimaru to handle such a matter.

"It seems we still need to find a way to catch that black and white aloe vera."

Just as Nishikawa Tetsu was still figuring out how to get some Hashirama cells, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Enter."

The door was pushed open, and Mizuki Uzumaki walked in carrying a heavy metal box.

After a few months apart, Meiyue seemed to have grown taller, and her once somewhat thin figure had become more proportionate. Her long red hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and her white lab coat was spotless, giving her the air of a senior researcher.

"Che-jun".

Meiyue greeted them and carefully placed the box on the desk.

"This is a report on the experimental results for this quarter, and also..."

Mizuki paused, a hint of barely perceptible joy in her voice.

"And this, I'd like you to take a look at it."

She opened the box.

There was no complicated mechanical structure inside, only a palm-sized, translucent light blue crystal cube.

This cube looks similar to the previous chakra battery, but the internal patterns are much more complex.

"This is?"

Nishikawa Tetsu picked up the crystal; it felt warm and smooth to the touch, unlike the cold, metallic feel he had experienced before.

"An improved version of the chakra battery."

Mizuki explained, "While you were on the front lines, I was studying the sealing techniques left behind by Mito-sama. I discovered that the reason the batteries charged slowly and consumed a lot of energy before was because we used inanimate objects to forcibly imprison chakra."

"Chakra is active."

Mizuki pointed to the vein-like patterns inside the crystal.

"So I tried adding some special bio-enzymes to the conductive polymer, and referenced the sealing circuit of the Uzumaki clan..."

As Nishikawa Tetsu listened to Mizuki's explanation, his expression gradually changed from surprise to shock.

He quickly picked up the testing instrument on the table and connected it to the crystal.

"drop--"

As the data fluctuated, Nishikawa Tetsu's pupils contracted slightly.

The energy storage limit has been increased by 40%.

The output power is more stable, and the peak is almost a straight line.

Most importantly, the charging efficiency has been increased by a full three times!

"genius……"

Nishikawa Tetsu put down the testing device, looked at the somewhat uneasy red-haired girl in front of him, and sighed sincerely.

He originally thought that Mizuki was just an excellent assistant with the physical advantages of the Uzumaki clan.

But unexpectedly, she possesses such terrifying comprehension in the field of combining sealing techniques with modern technology. How old is she?

"Did you come up with this yourself?" Nishikawa Tetsu asked.

"Um... when I was chatting with Lady Tsunade, she gave me some advice. She said it's better to guide than to suppress." Mizuki scratched her cheek a little shyly. "Che-kun, did this... work?"

"It works? It's incredibly useful!"

Nishikawa Tetsuya suddenly stood up and excitedly patted Mizuki on the shoulder.

"Mizuki, you've done a fantastic job!"

"With this, the cooldown time of the Bee Sting can be reduced by half, the heavy electromagnetic cannon won't need to have its battery changed after just a few shots, and even..."

Countless new weapon ideas flashed through Nishikawa Tetsu's mind in an instant.

More efficient energy means that weapons can be made smaller, or... bigger.

"It seems the bonus we gave you was still too small."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Mizuki and said seriously, "From today onwards, you are no longer my assistant."

Mizuki's face paled: "Huh? Che-kun, are you trying to kick me out?"

"No."

Nishikawa Tetsu picked up a pen and wrote a line heavily on the personnel file.

"From today onwards, you are the leader of the Energy and Sealing Project Team at the Konoha Science Research Institute."

"You can lead a team independently and have the authority to access most of the research institute's resources."

Nishikawa Tetsu handed the file to Mizuki, who was staring blankly, and smiled.

"Go, Team Leader Mizuki. The future energy revolution is in your hands."

Meiyue held the file, stunned for several seconds before suddenly realizing what was happening. Her face flushed, and she nodded vigorously.

"Yes! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Watching Mizuki's energetic departure, Nishikawa Tetsu sat back down in his chair, fiddling with the new battery.

"Is this what they call... the student surpassing the master?"

He was in a good mood.

With this, many plans that were previously shelved due to energy constraints can now be put back on the agenda.
