Delta's destructive beams are treated as Speed of Light on the Wiki, which has lead to Six Paths Sage Mode Naruto becoming FTL through these calculations.
In a previous thread on the topic, it was agreed that her beams were real lasers because they were described as "light" and came from a technological source (i.e., her eye). There have also been arguments that her laser beams scale to the likes of a state-of-the-art photon weapon, the Maxima Laser, described in Naruto Retsuden.
Let's discuss.
The description of the Maxima Laser from Naruto Retsuden's prologue goes as follows:
However, Delta's lasers are not even remotely similar. When Kawaki shielded Naruto and Himawari from her laser beam and the blast exploded, it took his arm, and he could no longer regenerate his wound. However, his body was not incinerated as would be the case with the Maxima Laser. And don't play the, "He didn't want Delta to have such a powerful weapon, so he took away that part of the laser" card. If that were the case, why base it off the Maxima Laser in the first place? The whole selling point of that photon gun is the fact that it is extremely deadly due to the heat spreading like a wildfire through the target's body and killing them from the inside.
To base a weapon off of the Maxima Laser and remove its most notable attribute for the sake of wanting a weaker weapon is idiotic, considering Delta's lasers were already designed to counter regeneration by destroy targets on a cellular level. doesn't incinerate though It makes no sense.
Moving on.
Here the problem with arguing that, though:
The argument that her lasers also fit the "It is stated to be composed/consisting of photons or light itself, again by a reliable source" criteria because Kawaki used the term "ray of light" in a scanlation is not enough. The criteria says "composed/consisting of ... light itself", and "ray of light" is not the same as "ray made of light".
Her lasers just do not hit enough check marks to be considered a "real laser" and thus lightspeed, which renders those calculations mentioned earlier null and void.

Let's discuss.
Argument #1
Yes, Amado is able to create technological advances that not even the head of the Scientific Ninja Weapons Team, Katasuke Tōno, could comprehend, yet alone replicate. Amado is a genius in a league of his own, and that point is made blatantly obvious to the reader. With that being said, though, this does not mean that Delta's lasers are a more advanced version of the photon weapon. To assume that is actually stupid.
The description of the Maxima Laser from Naruto Retsuden's prologue goes as follows:
From what we can gather:
- It is stated to be composed/consisting of photons or light itself, again by a reliable source.
- It has its origin at a realistic source of light, such as a camera.
However, Delta's lasers are not even remotely similar. When Kawaki shielded Naruto and Himawari from her laser beam and the blast exploded, it took his arm, and he could no longer regenerate his wound. However, his body was not incinerated as would be the case with the Maxima Laser. And don't play the, "He didn't want Delta to have such a powerful weapon, so he took away that part of the laser" card. If that were the case, why base it off the Maxima Laser in the first place?

Moving on.
Argument #2
Yes, Delta's eye are specially crafted Scientific Ninja Tools, so they fit the bill of "technology based".
Here the problem with arguing that, though:
- That same specially crafted eye can both absorb and redirect Chakra, as seen with Naruto's Rasengan.
- Her lasers burn through her Chakra.
- The lasers explode which is not very laser-like (get it? like, lady-like).
- The lasers are not even beams 100% of the time and can be dispersed by a greater Chakra.
The argument that her lasers also fit the "It is stated to be composed/consisting of photons or light itself, again by a reliable source" criteria because Kawaki used the term "ray of light" in a scanlation is not enough. The criteria says "composed/consisting of ... light itself", and "ray of light" is not the same as "ray made of light".
