This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 391 Research Progress on Hiruko

The Konoha Science Research Institute is currently the most advanced technology incubation base in the entire ninja world.

Carrying two cups of hot coffee, Nishikawa Tetsu greeted the surrounding researchers with practiced ease and walked into Building A, the experimental building.

He came to the research institute today mainly because he was urged to come by a series of urgent calls from that mad scientist, Hiruko.

But since we're already here, let's take a look at the research progress of each laboratory.

Pushing open the glass door of the Energy and Sealing Project team, a bustling scene comes into view.

Several researchers were busy outside the isolation laboratory, recording the parameters of various instruments.

"Team Leader Mizuki, the energy output of Reactor No. 3 has stabilized at the threshold."

"Team Leader Meiyue, this is the latest test report on the cold-resistant sealing material."

Nishikawa Tetsu stood at the door, looking at the red-haired girl surrounded by a group of researchers, and couldn't help but smile.

Mizuki Uzumaki, the frail girl he once rescued on the border of the Land of Fire, who didn't even know how to refine chakra.

Now she has shed her naivety and become a reliable team leader. Wearing a pair of goggles, she handles various complex experimental data with focused and confident expression.

Within the entire group, Mizuki is undoubtedly the most respected person among the group members.

It's not just because she holds the title of assistant vice dean, but also because of her amazing scientific research talent.

Since taking over Nishikawa Tetsu's chakra battery project, she has been like a cheat code, with various improved versions emerging one after another.

From raising the upper limit of energy storage and solving the problem of high-frequency discharge heat generation to developing miniaturized cold-resistant battery packs, she can produce new and impressive results almost every now and then.

Especially after Kana successfully graduated from the Ninja Academy and became a Genin, Mizuki completely let go of her burdens and devoted all her energy to research.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment and adjust the frequency of the energy shut-off valve. We will conduct a second test in ten minutes."

Mizuki calmly issued instructions into the microphone, which were relayed to various laboratories before she noticed Nishikawa Tetsu standing at the door.

"Che-jun!" Meiyue's eyes lit up. She took off her goggles and walked over quickly.

"Look at those dark circles under your eyes, you must have stayed up late again last night, right?" Nishikawa Tetsu handed her a cup of hot coffee. "Although work is important, health is the foundation of everything. If Lady Tsunade knew how hard you're working, she'd definitely scold me for mistreating my employees."

Mizuki took the coffee, feeling the warmth from her palm, and felt a warm glow in her heart.

"It's okay, Che-kun. I just... suddenly understand how you used to work so hard on your research."

Mizuki took a sip of coffee and said excitedly.

"That feeling was truly amazing, watching those complex spells and metal resonate in my hands, watching one difficult problem after another be overcome."

"Furthermore, while researching high-frequency discharge of batteries, I unexpectedly discovered a method to convert Lightning Release chakra into a weak magnetic field. Although it is still in the theoretical stage, I believe..."

Looking at the girl in front of him who had completely turned into a science fanatic, Nishikawa Tetsu smiled helplessly.

"Alright, alright, hand in your theoretical report as soon as you're done. I have something to do today; I need to go to Building C."

Nishikawa Tetsu patted Mizuki on the shoulder: "Take care and get some rest. Don't let me see you looking like a panda next time I come. Go to the beauty salon for a treatment when you have time."

After saying goodbye to Mizuki, Nishikawa Tetsu arrived at the special-grade laboratory in Building C.

Nishikawa Tetsu pushed open the door and entered, only to see Hiruko standing in front of a huge explosion-proof glass cylinder, holding a remote control in her hand, her face full of manic joy.

"Hey, Hiruko-senpai, you found some money this early in the morning?" Nishikawa Tetsu walked over and casually placed another cup of coffee on the table.

"You've finally arrived!"

When Hiruko saw Nishikawa Tetsu, his eyes lit up. He grabbed Nishikawa Tetsu's arm and pointed at the fiberglass cylinder.

"Look! My research on chakra nature fusion and rejection reactions has finally made a breakthrough!"

Nishikawa Tetsu followed his finger and looked.

Inside the fiberglass cylinder was a palm-sized, strangely bluish-gray unidentified substance.

Tiny electric arcs flickered continuously on the surface of the substance, while also emitting a faint white mist.

"This is..." Nishikawa Tetsu frowned slightly. He could sense that the substance contained two completely different chakra attributes.

"A fusion of thunder and wind!"

Hiruko excitedly explained, "I've been trying to forcibly fuse chakra of different attributes within a human body, but the rejection reaction is too strong, easily causing cell collapse. But after studying Mizuki Uzumaki's chakra battery, I got an inspiration!"

Beiluhu took out a blueprint and pointed to the structural diagram on it.

"I abandoned the idea of ​​directly conducting experiments on living subjects and instead used chakra-conducting metal as a medium. I inscribed energy storage and isolation runes, similar to those in a battery, inside this specially made alloy."

"Then, I infused it with Lightning Release and Wind Release chakra respectively, using a sealing technique to construct a miniature chakra conversion furnace. Inside this furnace, the two types of chakra no longer repel each other, but instead achieve perfect resonance and fusion through a special conduction circuit!"

Hiruko pressed the remote control in his hand.

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, the alloy inside the fiberglass cylinder shone with a blinding light. Immediately afterward, a terrifying energy beam, composed of lightning and gale-force winds, shot out directly from inside the alloy and slammed into the explosion-proof glass.

"boom!"

Even the specially made explosion-proof glass trembled violently, and a fine layer of scorch marks appeared on its surface.

"This...this is the power of a bloodline limit?!" Nishikawa Tetsu was shocked.

The fusion of lightning and wind is incredibly close to the power of certain special bloodline limits in the original work!

Moreover, this was simulated using purely mechanical and sealing techniques!

"That's right! Although it's still in its early stages and the energy conversion rate isn't stable enough, it proves that I'm heading in the right direction!"

No, this is completely wrong! Nishikawa Tetsu said that Hiruko had completely forgotten about the Oni-Garra Technique. He never expected that Hiruko and the research institute could produce such a chemical reaction.

Hiruko was so excited that he trembled all over.

"Give me enough funding and higher-purity chakra metal, and I can create a single-soldier weapon capable of unleashing a pseudo-bloodline limit! Then, even an ordinary genin will possess destructive power comparable to a jonin!"

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the fanatical Hiruko and felt a surge of emotions welling up inside him.

This is far more monstrous than the electromagnetic cannon he created back then. The electromagnetic cannon is essentially a physical kinetic energy weapon, while Hiruko's thing directly uses scientific methods to analyze and replicate the bloodline limit.

"Senior, this achievement is truly astonishing."

Nishikawa Tetsu suppressed his shock and asked in confusion, "However, why didn't you report such a significant breakthrough to Dean Orochimaru? He's the one who loves research that touches on the very essence of ninjutsu."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's name, Hiruko's fanaticism froze for a moment, then he curled his lip in disapproval.

"Don't even mention it, Lord Orochimaru hasn't had time for me lately."

Hiruko lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "He recently got a child from somewhere and takes him with him every day. He takes him to experiments, he takes him to meals. Whenever you see him, you can see the child. A few days ago, I went to him to get funding approved, but he wouldn't even let me in the door. He told me to come to you directly."

"child?!"

Nishikawa Tetsu was truly shocked this time.
