A few cells is enough. DNA can fairly easily be made to replicate, so even tiny samples can be grown into useful quantities. A DNA Match takes a few hours if i recall correctly. But in real life forensics they usually do whole batteries of tests, so it usually takes a lot more time. What I was talking about is time, and reagents... I was making that question because I actually work at a biology lab, and getting the pure DNA from a tissue sample takes a long time, but on TV they always just use a magic machine that does everything in a few seconds...

Also, this technological revolution from the Naruto Shippuden times to present is impossible to believe... in less than 20 years they passed from living with almost Middle Ages technology to even have videogames...
