As the scan progressed, incomprehensibly complex genetic fragments were extracted from Naruto in a manner beyond conventional understanding.
These fragments were then absorbed, recorded, and stored within Arata's Mangekyō Sharingan.
The process didn't take long.
After all, this was the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan....vastly superior to an ordinary Mangekyō.
Moreover, the technique itself was extraordinarily subtle.
So subtle, in fact, that even Kurama.....sealed within Naruto.....failed to notice it before the replication was complete.
Once the process ended, Arata finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Naruto housed the Nine-Tails, after all. If Kurama had noticed and decided to interfere, things could have become troublesome.
That was precisely why Arata had entered Naruto's inner world first.....to talk with Kurama, establish mutual awareness, and make it clear that he was not someone to provoke lightly.
As long as Arata didn't do anything excessive to Naruto, Kurama would generally stay hidden and refrain from interfering.
At this point, Uchiha Arata had already settled matters with both the Nine-Tails and Uzumaki Naruto.
All that remained was Uzumaki Xinglin and her daughter.
Once he copied the Uzumaki bloodline from the two of them, this entire operation would be brought to a perfect conclusion.
After shutting down his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Arata casually dispelled the barrier he had set up earlier.
He then opened the door and saw Uzumaki Xinglin and her daughter waiting anxiously outside.
Arata closed the door behind him and looked at the worried expressions on their faces.
Lowering his voice, he said gently,
"It's fine. I've checked the seal and reinforced it. You don't need to worry.
Naruto probably just fell asleep because the inspection process was too boring."
While channeling chakra into the iron gate's seal earlier, Arata had slightly strengthened it to ensure that the Nine-Tails' chakra couldn't erode Naruto.
With the quality of Arata's chakra and the current sturdiness of the seal, it would be more than enough to keep the Nine-Tails' chakra contained for the next ten to twenty years.
Upon hearing that Naruto had merely fallen asleep, Uzumaki Xinglin finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
She truly treated Naruto as her own child....if anything had happened to him, she would have gladly taken his place.
As for Karin, who stood quietly beside her, she didn't fully understand what had happened.
However, seeing her mother smile again, she knew nothing bad had occurred and smiled along with her.
At this moment, Arata shifted his attention to the mother and daughter before him.
After such a long period of recuperation, Xinglin's condition was no longer as frail as when they first met.
Back then, she had been hanging on by a thread...her body so weak it felt as though a gust of wind could knock her over.
Now, however, her complexion was healthy, her movements steady.
Though still slender, her body had returned to a normal state.
It was clear why the Uzumaki clan was renowned for its vitality....recovering to this extent in such a short time would have taken an ordinary person, or even an ordinary ninja, more than a month.
Karin, standing beside her, had recovered even better.
After all, although she had also been bitten by shinobi from the Hidden Grass Village, her injuries had never reached the severity of her mother's.
With only brief rest, she had returned to the condition of a normal child.
That said, due to the trauma she had suffered in the Grass Village, she was still somewhat timid and heavily reliant on her mother.
However, with Naruto acting as an older brother figure, Arata was confident she would recover emotionally as well.
Seeing that both mother and daughter had nearly fully recovered, Arata finally relaxed. When they first met, his attention had been focused entirely on Naruto, and he had only given their condition a cursory glance.
Strictly speaking, Arata's dōjutsu...Replication Eye—didn't have particularly high requirements for its targets.
Still, he believed it was safer to copy their bloodline only after their bodies had properly recovered, which was why he had postponed this step until now.
Moreover, even with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he could only store replicated data for one day.
