In any case, if cooperation with him will be as useful as it looks at the moment, I can even reveal to him some of the nuances of my research, hidden from prying eyes.
Especially, after close communication with the jonin, I am already sure that this knowledge will not go further than him, and will only serve to further advance the question of survival/immortality so interesting to both of us.
And by-products, used by me even now, will give an opportunity to take care of the welfare of the family and future descendants. After all, in the ninja environment, it is power that decides everything, no matter if you are ten times the smartest person around - Nara checked.
- That's very direct, Ryo," he smiled, "but I thank you for the offer, and I'll take a look at the reading list.
Nodding, I made a note to myself to remember to have it ready for the next meeting.
- By the way, Ryo-kun, I couldn't help but notice the addition to your equipment," the scientist hinted delicately, squinting at the hilt of the Samehada, which I had to carry with me almost all the time, "it's one of the famous great swords of Kirigakure, isn't it?
- It is, or rather, it is - let me introduce you to Samehada, the best shinobi sword that can absorb chakra and is alive," I couldn't help but boast, pulling out a bandage-wrapped scaly club, "unfortunately, with the presence of life, it has its own character and certain requirements for the owner's chakra, along with the need for constant feeding.
- Hmm, what an interesting specimen," the snake sannin rubbed his chin, his eyes literally burning with enthusiasm as he watched me unwrap the bandages and let me fully assess the appearance of the sword, "I can't imagine how one could create such a thing.
- I suppose it was created using a living creature and biju chakra, but it's impossible to verify that and study Samehada's structure," I stroked the tightly packed scales and shared a decent amount of chakra, to which Samehada grunted and moved as if caressing, "this girl absorbs all kinds of chakra, including medical chakra.
- And how effective is she? - The sannin clarified, clearly regretting the thought of studying this phenomenal creature in detail.
He didn't even try to dissect it, realizing the untenability of such a suggestion.
- It can strip a jinchuriki of his biju chakra in a matter of moments," I made no secret of my experiments.
- How many tails did you get to? - Orochimaru immediately realized who I was talking about.
It was no secret that I had a very close relationship with the Uzumaki women who remained in the village.
- Kushina-chan released three full tails, adding a fair amount of her own chakra to the cover," the scientist hummed understandingly, "There were rumors among the jonins that she had already surpassed Mito in chakra reserves, and she wasn't going to stop there, At least, all the sensors agreed, except they didn't know that the older Uzumaki used seals to keep her chakra from glowing as much as the younger one did, and Samehada had licked up all that chakra in just a couple of taps.
