Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

---

Sasori of the Red Sand defected from Sunagakure before the age of 15 and, as a side note, killed the "strongest" Third Kazekage… or rather, he killed the Kazekage and then left Sunagakure.

There are accounts that he actually fought the Kazekage head-on and then defeated and killed him using his own strength.

There are also accounts that Sasori actually used assassination at the time.

Silent, causing no commotion, relatively high success rate, no need to consider the power gap between the two sides… these are all the advantages of assassination.

So, the Third Raikage, who should have been able to hold out for three days and three nights here until he was exhausted, died at the hands of Haori's not-so-stealthy assassination.

He overestimated his own defense and underestimated Haori's technique.

In fact, Haori was still too cautious. With the attack power of the Railgun, in terms of breaking through a single target's defense and causing damage, there's basically no jutsu in the entire shinobi world that's stronger than it. One shot could break through the Raikage's defense. Three shots were actually a waste.

Compare it. Could Lightning Garden Heavy Country be weaker than Hell Stab: Four-Point Piercing?

Four-Point Piercing could break through the Raikage's defense, so the Railgun could naturally do it too. The latter is a one-shot kill, while the former is a one-shot explosion.

But Haori was aiming for a sure thing, so he gave the Raikage three shots.

After that, Haori didn't experience any intense emotional fluctuations. He took advantage of the moment when the Iwagakure ninjas were collectively dumbfounded and directly sealed the Raikage's body – this was something that wasn't in the plan. He didn't expect that it wouldn't turn into a blood rain.

But bringing the Raikage's body back to Konoha would definitely have great value. Hoping to read important intelligence about Kumogakure from the Raikage's brain… that's probably not possible. Even Haori has a brain halo. As the Raikage, who dared to come to his death, he would naturally have a powerful seal to prevent information leaks.

But at the very least, they could slice him up and study him. Every generation of Raikage has a similar offensive and defensive system. Maybe they can find a breakthrough and weakness from the Third Raikage.

The body was sealed. So, the question is, how will Haori escape now?

It wasn't until he was finished that the Iwagakure ninjas finally reacted. The Raikage is dead?

In the center of the battlefield, the blood mist caused by the unknown "Lightning Release" hadn't dissipated yet.

The bodies of the Iwagakure ninjas on the ground were practically piled layer upon layer.

Dōjutsu and the other ninjas who were fighting on the front lines all looked at the Anbu ninja in front of them.

Blood droplets condensed on his cold mask. They gathered under the force of inertia and then dripped down.

His white hair had already been dyed a different color. It was red through white.

"The Third Raikage is dead!"

"We took care of the Raikage!"

The ninjas finally reacted, and then there were shouts from all sides!

Even the calmest, most ruthless ninjas, after being dumbfounded by the fact that such a powerful enemy had suddenly been defeated, would shout excitedly and happily.

Haori's mind stirred. He had an idea.

He deliberately made a gesture of looking around, then raised his right arm with his fist clenched, and shouted in a thunderous voice, "The Raikage is dead! Iwagakure wins!"

His voice almost reached the entire battlefield.

… Okay, he was trying to bluff his way through, blend back into the Iwagakure ninjas, and then find an opportunity to escape.

As an "Iwagakure ninja," of course, he could be proud to have personally killed the Raikage. Of course, he should cheer for Iwagakure's victory.

He had to act like a "hero"… but in reality, it was a very comical performance.

There were indeed some foolish ninjas who wanted to rush forward and give the hero a "lift."

But as soon as Haori's voice fell, a deeper, more imposing voice… a voice that was even louder than Haori's… came from behind.

"Maintain! Formation!"

The voice was serious, puzzled, doubtful, and even angry.

The Iwagakure ninjas' excitement was doused with a bucket of cold water. They knew that voice, of course…

What was going on? Most people couldn't figure it out immediately.

But no matter what, battlefield orders always take priority. The Iwagakure ninjas restrained their emotions and returned to their positions.

The slight gap that had just appeared in the encirclement was also closed.

Haori was still surrounded. Trying to bluff his way through? It wasn't that easy.

The one who gave the order was the battlefield commander, Jōnin Dōjutsu. His intelligence was still online. He wouldn't be fooled by such a clumsy performance.

This ninja had too many suspicious points.

The battlefield fell silent again.

Dōjutsu walked forward and faced Haori directly:

"Anbu ninja, take off your mask. State your Anbu code name, ninja registration number, squad number, and captain or commander's code name."

Haori could definitely feel the other party's hostility.

Exposed?

His impromptu idea of blending back into the Iwagakure ninjas wasn't smart… It was actually a bad idea.

No one could defeat the Raikage in a battle of 10,000. Then, suddenly, an Anbu appeared and took care of the strong enemy? Hehe.

So, it was over.

"Take off my mask? State my identity? Doesn't that mean I'll lose my Anbu job?"

Although Haori said this, he still reached out with one hand towards his mask. He gently removed the mask and moved it down a few centimeters, just enough to reveal the forehead protector he was wearing.

For just a moment, he put the mask back on.

But that was enough.

Because it wasn't an Iwagakure forehead protector. It was Konoha's.

Why could he blow up his own people into blood mist without blinking? Because Haori wasn't attacking his own people.

"Maintain formation. This is not our comrade. He's a Konoha enemy ninja. Don't let him escape!" Dōjutsu ordered again.

No matter if it was an assassination or not, a ninja who could instantly kill the Raikage in a battle state couldn't be taken lightly.

From leaving the battle state to re-entering the battle state, the Iwagakure ninjas didn't hesitate. But their hearts were broken.

What's going on? A Konoha ninja who infiltrated the force killed the Raikage? So, they were excited for nothing?

It wasn't their own people who had killed the enemy. Of course, Iwagakure wouldn't be excited. Instead, most people felt like they had eaten a fly.

"Konoha ninja, you must be someone important to be able to defeat the Raikage. Before you die, you can state your name." Dōjutsu said.

Of course, he was talking about before he died. The ninja who carried out this kind of mission was clearly a death soldier. In this state, did he expect him to break through?

"I'm not…"

Haori didn't want to reveal his information. He wasn't stupid. Would he reveal his name and then wait for Kumogakure to chase after him?

The Third Raikage was the Fourth Raikage's father.

But as the words reached his lips, Haori shut his mouth. He remembered something.

Kushina had always had a small, trivial wish. Her wish to become Hokage was now impossible to achieve. So, she, who was competitive, at least wanted to surpass Minato in fame. She had even told Haori things like this… Of course, she was definitely just joking. She didn't expect Haori to actually do anything.

But Haori didn't think so. He took it seriously.

Because Kushina's joking wish hid something deeper that she needed, such as freedom and acceptance.

Thinking about this, Haori smiled.

He changed his mind. He would reveal his name. He straightened his body and announced to the nearly 10,000 Iwagakure ninjas in his loudest voice:

"The Third Raikage died at the hands of a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha Jōnin, Uzumaki Kushina's disciple!"

Being able to help Kushina was what he truly wanted to do in this war. For Haori personally, this was much more meaningful than killing the Raikage itself… It was probably the most meaningful thing he had ever done.

As for what trouble this would cause Kushina? Not much.

First, Kushina would stay in Konoha.

Second, the one who killed the Raikage wasn't Kushina. It was Kushina's "disciple."

Because of the shocking first impression, it's believed that the entire shinobi world would soon know that "the Raikage died at the hands of Kushina's disciple."

Kushina would definitely gain a lot of fame.

But if we're talking about Kumogakure's target of hatred, it would be the "disciple," not Kushina. Moreover, with Kushina as a starting point, the disciple's identity could be easily found out.

So, in reality, this was Kushina gaining fame.

And Haori was the one who was taking the blame and going to his death… although it was his own fault.

So, he was putting on a show for his teacher. What a selfless spirit of dedication! It's a model for the industry.

In the shinobi world, where the trend of killing one's master was strong, Haori's actions could be considered those of a good Konoha disciple.
