The alloy door of the laboratory closed silently, instantly blocking out all movement outside the hospital.
The rising sun shines in through the glass window of the sterile operating room and falls on the record board neatly stacked on the experimental table. It is filled with the complete data of more than a dozen cases of soul damage last night, operating parameters, and index changes before and after repair. Every number is extremely accurate. Outside the hospital, the footsteps of the medical ninjas carefully transferring the wounded, the irrepressible exclamations and discussions, and the choking sobs of the survivors could be heard outside the hospital. However, these sounds could not even penetrate the outer barrier of the laboratory. Inside, it was so quiet that only the rustling of the pen tip across the stone slabs was left.
Rinto sat in front of the experimental table, casually taking off the gloves stained with a trace amount of Chakra, and threw them into the recycling bin. He had not slept all night, but his eyes were not tired at all, but showed a thorough understanding of the rules, extreme concentration and clarity. The dozen or so cases of clinical repair last night were very important to him. Konoha's medical system is an unprecedented miracle. For him, it is just a complete, multi-gradient verification experiment - he used these extreme samples to verify all his conjectures about the binding rules of soul and body, and also collected all the data needed to build a complete theoretical system.
He first entered all the raw data, case classification, repair plans, and postoperative indicators from last night into encrypted files, and filed them into categories according to the type of injury, degree of anchor point rupture, and damage to the spiritual core. These first-hand clinical data are the cornerstone of the entire theoretical system. Each set of data corresponds to an underlying law of the interaction between the soul and the body.
After filing, Rinto spread out a two-meter-long blank slate, held the charcoal pen at his fingertips, and did not rush to write. Instead, he closed his eyes and completely reviewed, integrated, and refined all the experimental details, data changes, and soul fluctuation patterns last night in his mind.
Shinobi World For thousands of years, the understanding of "soul" has always remained at the level of metaphysics and esotericism. Yamanaka Clan's secret techniques can only touch the shallow consciousness, and Genjutsu can only interfere with the perception of the spiritual level. Even Impure World Reincarnation of Second Hokage, It just forcibly recalled the soul from Pure Land and bound it in a sacrifice. It didn't understand the binding logic of soul and body at all, let alone repair the damage at the soul level. Pain's Human Path could extract the soul, but it just roughly cut off the anchoring between soul and body, and knew nothing about the rules behind it.
Everyone knows that the soul exists, and that the dissipation of the soul is complete death, but no one can explain clearly: What is the soul? What is the binding between the soul and the body? Why does the broken anchor point cause the soul to dissipate? How can the soul damage be repaired safely and without loss?
What Rinto has to do is to dismantle these illusory "rules of life and death" that are regarded as untouchable by everyone, into a rigorous theoretical system that is quantifiable, reproducible, and can be accurately intervened.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, dropped the charcoal, and wrote the title on the top of the slate: Soul Anchoring Theory--Soul-Body-Chakra Three-part Binding Mechanism and Intervention System.
Immediately afterwards, the tip of his pen quickly crossed the slate. The first part completely overturned Shinobi World's vague understanding of the soul that had been passed down for thousands of years, and gave a precise and quantifiable definition:
The essence of the soul is a high-dimensional Yin Release energy aggregate that carries the consciousness, memory, and spiritual origin of an individual. It has a unique and stable inherent resonance frequency and is deeply bound to the individual's life origin and Chakra core. It cannot be copied and irreversibly damaged.
He used last night's actual measurement data to verify the accuracy of this definition: every wounded person's soul has a unique natural frequency. Even if the body is subjected to extreme impact, this core frequency will not change. The core of his repair plan is based on this natural frequency to complete anchor point repair and soul anchoring, which is also the core premise for non-destructive intervention.
Without stopping, he wrote down the core of the theory - the soul-body anchoring mechanism.
This is the cornerstone of the entire theory and the core logic behind his ability to complete the anchoring of the soul. In his system, the binding between the soul and the body has never been an illusory "life and death bond", but a precise, multi-level anchoring system, divided into three core levels:
1. Core main anchor points: 7 points in total, completely coincident with the core nodes of the Chakra cycle of the human body, distributed in the Dantian, heart, center of the eyebrows, etc., which are the core pillars binding the soul to the body and are responsible for anchoring the overall position of the soul body. If the main anchor points are broken at more than 3 places, there will be a large-scale soul shock. If the main anchor points are broken at more than 5 places, the soul body will quickly separate from the body and dissipate.
2. Secondary branch anchor points: 36 in total, distributed in the main meridian nodes and nerve centers of the body. They are responsible for maintaining the synchronization of the soul and the body, and transmitting the control instructions of the consciousness to the body. Large-scale rupture of the secondary anchor points will cause the consciousness to collapse and the limbs to lose control, further aggravating the loss of the main anchor point.
3. Microscopic cell anchoring: found in every living cell throughout the body, the natural frequency of the soul resonates with the life activity of the body cells, maintaining the overall fitness of the soul and the body. This is also the core reason why after the body dies, the soul loses support and dissipates quickly.
Rinto drew a complete human body anchor point distribution map on the slate, accurately marking the location of each primary anchor point and secondary anchor point, the corresponding Chakra node, the nerve center connection, and even marked the strength difference and frequency fluctuation range of the anchor points for people with different physiques and different ages. These are the general rules he extracted from more than a dozen different samples, and are also the basis for all subsequent intervention plans.
He even accurately deduced the underlying logic of the Shinra Tensei shock wave causing the soul to be separated: the shock wave first shattered the Chakra meridian nodes of the human body, destroying the physical base of the anchor point, causing the anchoring link to break; at the same time, the high-frequency vibration of the shock wave interfered with the inherent resonance between the soul and the body, decoupling the originally stable binding relationship, and ultimately causing the soul body to separate from the body and dissipate.
The medical ninjas Tsunade and Konoha only saw the phenomenon of "souls drifting away", and he completely dismantled the change logic and damage mechanism behind this phenomenon, and naturally he was able to find accurate repair methods.
Next, he wrote a standardized grading system for soul damage based on the anchoring mechanism.
In the past, Shinobi World only had vague judgments such as "hopeless" and "crazy" for soul damage, but Rinto used precise quantitative indicators to divide soul damage into five levels, from the lightest loosening of anchor points and fluctuations in consciousness to the heaviest, large-scale fragmentation of the soul body and complete anchor point breakage. Each level has clear judgment standards, and the corresponding damage mechanism, intervention plan, and prognosis judgment are all clearly written.
This means that even a medical ninja who only understands basic Chakra control can accurately judge the degree of soul damage by following this grading system, instead of being helpless and waiting to die like before.
The last part of the theoretical system is also the part that shocked Shinobi World the most - the lossless soul intervention system.
Rinto completely wrote down the technical logic he used for last night's repair, from the repair of the anchor base, the stable resonance of the soul body, the recovery of scattered debris, to the reconstruction of the anchor link, the accurate return of the soul to the anchor, and the reinforcement of the anchor point after surgery. The operation logic, parameter standards, and precautions of each step are all clearly written.
He specifically marked the core principles of this system: absolutely no touching or consuming the soul's origin and spiritual core. All interventions are based on frequency resonance and anchor point repair. They only do "bridging" and "reinforcement" and do not do "forced manipulation" and "original transformation." This is also the most essential difference between his plan and all Shinobi World's secret techniques involving the soul. Don't--Yamanaka Clan's secret technique is to forcibly invade the consciousness, Impure World Reincarnation is to forcibly bind the soul, which will cause irreversible damage to the soul's origin, and his system is to repair the original binding relationship without harming the soul at all, so that the soul and body can return to their original healthy and stable state.
He even designed standardized intervention configurations, Chakra modulation parameters, and frequency matching formulas based on different damage types, making this theory no longer a "miracle" that can only be used by himself, but a complete technical system that can be replicated, promoted, and standardized.
Throughout the entire process, Rinto kept scratching the slate with charcoal. Lines of precise formulas, rigorous logic, and clear diagrams covered the entire huge slate. From the bottom-level essential definition, to the core anchoring mechanism, to the damage classification and intervention system, a complete set of logically closed-loop and impeccable theories was formed.
The sun outside the window rose higher and higher, turning from the rising sun to the scorching sun at noon. The movement outside the hospital had long since disappeared. Tsunade and the medical ninjas had left with the wounded, leaving only two ninjas standing guard outside the hospital. They did not dare to disturb them, but they also held out hope that they could reach Rinto immediately if there were any critically injured again.
In the laboratory, Rinto completely forgot about the passage of time. All his attention was immersed in the construction and improvement of this theoretical system. Occasionally, when he stopped, he would pick up the previous experimental data, check a certain parameter, correct a certain logical detail, and ensure that every link of the entire theory was supported by measured data, without any taken-for-granted inferences.
When the last stroke was made and the complete system of Soul Anchoring Theory was presented on the slate, Rinto put down the charcoal, leaned on the back of the chair, and quickly browsed it from beginning to end. From the most basic definition to the final clinical application, the logical chain was tightly connected. All conclusions were verified by more than a dozen clinical data, and even possible abnormal situations and corresponding treatment plans were deduced and marked in advance.
This theory not only completely explains all previous soul damage phenomena and solves the unsolved soul damage problem of Shinobi World for thousands of years, but more importantly, it opens the door to the study of soul rules that Shinobi World has never set foot in. Before, the soul was a god and Buddha, life and death, and an untouchable taboo. After that, the soul became an objective existence that can be researched, analyzed, intervened, and repaired, with clear rules and precise methods.
For people like Konoha, this theory can save countless soul-damaged wounded people who may appear in the future; for Rinto, this theory allows him to understand the original rules of the world and move forward. A big step forward. His previous research covered Chakra, Yin-Yang Release, space rules, gravity rules, and body repair, but now, he has completely touched the core rules of life and soul.
Rinto casually took out the seal scroll, copied and sealed the complete theoretical system, diagrams, and formulas on the slate, transcribed a complete paper dossier, locked it in an encrypted information cabinet, and put it together with the previous Rinnegan technique analysis, Senjutsu system research, and Chakra General Model.
After doing all this, he did not stop his research. The completion of Soul Anchoring Theory only opened the door to the rules of the soul. There were more questions before him: Where does the origin of the soul come from? After the death of the body, why does the soul Will it go to "Pure Land"? Where is Pure Land? How does Rinne Rebirth recall the soul that has gone to Pure Land back to the body?
These questions cannot be explained by Soul Anchoring Theory, and they are also the ultimate questions that Shinobi World has never been able to answer.
And he knows very well that the only chance to get the answers to these questions lies with Nagato. Rinnegan's ability has exceeded the scope of conventional Ninjutsu, touching It has reached the boundary between life and death. The previous soul extraction of Human Path was just a crude application, but Rinne Rebirth, which is said to be able to resurrect the dead, must contain the core and ultimate secret of the soul rules.
Rinto stood up and walked to the window, his fingertips lightly brushed the glass, and his senses swept towards Chibaku Tensei in the distance. He could sense that Naruto and Nine-Tails were sealed The fluctuations of the huge rock sphere, Chakra, are becoming more and more violent, the Chakra of Nine-Tails is climbing crazily, and the seal of Chibaku Tensei is almost unable to hold on.
Naruto will soon break free of the seal, and the final showdown with Nagato is coming soon. And that showdown will inevitably bring more measured data about Rinnegan and the rules of the soul. He may even have the opportunity to see with his own eyes the legendary Rinne Rebirth, who can reverse life and death.
He took back his perception, turned around and walked back to the experimental platform, and picked up the Black Receiver from Pain again. Before, he only disassembled the Chakra interference mechanism of Black Receiver, but now, he has a complete Soul Anchoring Theory can dismantle the Chakra of Rinnegan in more depth, how on earth can remote control of corpses be achieved through these Black Receiver, and how can Chakra circulation and body functions be maintained in a body without a soul.
In the Konoha ruins outside, the survivors are still busy searching, cleaning, and rebuilding. Everyone is suffering from the tragedy of the disaster and shocked by the miracles Rinto has created. But Rinto in the laboratory has long forgotten these things.
Saving people is just a by-product. What he really wants has always been the most original rules hidden behind these life and death. And next, the duel between Naruto and Pain, Nagato's final trump card, will bring him an unprecedented feast of data about life, death, soul, and Rinnegan's abilities.
