Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

---

At the entrance of Konoha, Haori was completing his village registration. It was a bit of a hassle, but he had to do it. Fire prevention, theft prevention, and spy prevention were the top priorities.

At this time, he had changed back into his original mission uniform. Let's not talk about his two-stage transformation into a gourd brother. The key was to wear the Konoha forehead protector.

In a way, its function was the same as a red scarf. You can't enter the school without it.

The forehead protector, in its simplest form as an external decoration, indicated that Haori was a Konoha ninja… It was only possible to distinguish him from the outside. It was impossible to rely on this to prevent invasion. After all, no idiot ninja would wear another village's forehead protector to enter Konoha. If such a situation really happened, first, you should contact the Konoha guard, and second, contact the Konoha Hospital's neurology department.

The ninja guarding the entrance just thought this was a normal ninja returning to the village. He couldn't possibly know that this young ninja had actually just completed a top-secret mission.

He had made a significant contribution to the battle between the two major ninja villages that was currently being widely discussed.

He filled in his ninja registration number and name. Seeing his name, the ninja opposite him didn't react in any particular way. This made Haori breathe a sigh of relief. Obviously, he hadn't been "killed" yet.

He hadn't been turned into a "lone hero" and become propaganda material for the "Will of Fire."

That was good.

In fact, Haori should have reported to Jiraiya first. But considering the distance, if he entered the Land of Fire from the Land of Iron, Konoha was closer to the front lines.

Considering that even if he went to the front lines and reported to Jiraiya, the Hokage would probably summon him back again… so he might as well just go directly. Haori returned to Konoha directly.

After entering the village, Haori went straight to the Hokage's office building.

He was still his old self. From his appearance, no one could imagine that he had recently killed the strongest ninja in the shinobi world, the one who was above tens of thousands of ninjas, one of the Five Kage.

With this calm attitude, it was even harder to imagine that he had almost been beaten to death by nearly 10,000 people.

This nonchalant appearance, let alone that he had just completed an S-rank mission, even a ninja who had just completed a D-rank mission wouldn't act like this.

Along the way, people were constantly discussing the battle between Iwagakure and Kumogakure. After all, it was the biggest event in the shinobi world right now.

Kushina's name was indeed mentioned with a high frequency.

Haori nodded, quite satisfied.

The detailed account of the incident was naturally not something that ordinary ninjas could understand. But this ambiguous sensational effect was what Haori wanted.

This could be considered a perfect accomplishment of Kushina's wish.

When Haori arrived at the Hokage's office building and reported his name, he was almost immediately granted an audience with the Hokage.

Inside the Hokage's office, several Konoha high-ranking officials were analyzing the current situation.

"The battle between Iwagakure and Kumogakure is still ongoing. But Kumogakure hasn't publicly acknowledged that the Third Raikage has died. However, Jiraiya is controlling the battle situation very well. As long as he maintains the balance of power between Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the eventual result will be… a mutual defeat!"

"This is the most advantageous situation for Konoha." The Third Hokage said, holding his pipe in one hand and pressing down on the intelligence documents on the table.

Once a war begins, it's not something that can be stopped just by saying so. Even though both Iwagakure and Kumogakure know that the ultimate beneficiary of this fight will be their powerful enemy, Konoha, they still have to continue the war. Only after one side defeats the other will they turn their guns on Konoha.

Or rather, they will reconsider how to deal with Konoha's threat.

If the war continues like this, the eventual result will likely be a fundamental reversal of the situation for the Land of Fire, which has been under siege and outnumbered all along. It will become the biggest beneficiary of the war.

Konoha has already achieved peace with Sunagakure and Amegakure. After this war, Kumogakure and Iwagakure will be at best half-disabled, and they are mortal enemies. Iwagakure will also have to deal with Sunagakure…

Without counting the combat power of the small countries, the only enemy of Konoha that can still maintain relatively intact combat power is Kirigakure.

And Konoha's stretched-thin forces will be greatly relieved due to the enemy's chaotic battle, which will lead to a decrease in their own forces and an increase in the enemy's forces.

As for Jiraiya's good control of the battle situation… it can be said that although the current battle is between Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Konoha can actually control part of the war's rhythm.

A key and important part.

Almost as soon as Iwagakure began its actions, Konoha launched an offensive against Kumogakure. This coordinated attack put pressure on Kumogakure.

This forced Kumogakure to deploy the Raikage, leading to the Kage's death.

But the difference between Konoha's attack and Iwagakure's attack is that Iwagakure's main force directly invaded the Land of Lightning, while Konoha fought tooth and nail with Kumogakure, but it was within the Land of Rice Fields.

For Kumogakure, it's obvious which enemy needs to be prioritized.

And Konoha's attack was just a "posture." The focus was on putting pressure, not actual combat.

Once they receive intelligence, if Iwagakure has the upper hand on the battlefield, Konoha will immediately slow down its offensive, allowing Kumogakure to withdraw forces from this front line to fight against Iwagakure.

But if the opposite happens, Konoha will intensify its offensive, cutting off Kumogakure's intention to quickly drive Iwagakure out of the country.

This is probably the legendary "open secret." Even though all three sides know what's going on, they can't make effective countermeasures.

The stubborn Ōnoki made a bad move this time. He doesn't regret attacking Kumogakure. He regrets giving Konoha the chance to benefit from the situation.

The only side that can break the deadlock is probably Kirigakure. After all, Sunagakure is already an ally of Konoha. But Kirigakure… probably welcomes the current situation.

Kirigakure is a mortal enemy of Iwagakure. In the last war, their Kage even died together. How could they possibly do something that benefits Iwagakure?

And now, there are sporadic clashes between Kirigakure and Kumogakure.

This kind of Shinobi World War, each village is essentially looking out for itself. They would love to see the other side fight each other to the death. Now that they have the opportunity to watch the brains splattered, why get involved?

Should they launch a large-scale offensive against Konoha now? Hehe.

Let Iwagakure and Kumogakure weaken each other first.

Therefore, for Konoha, the situation of the Third Shinobi World War has become completely clear after this battle.

"That…"

Haori had already walked in when the Third Hokage finished speaking.

He had heard half of what the other party said.

"The Third Raikage is indeed dead. I can prove it." Before the Hokage and the others could ask, he said proactively.

Then, he began to take out his evidence.

Of course, he had evidence. He had the Raikage's body.

He took a scroll from his ninja tool pouch behind him and spread it out on the ground.

Inside the circular sealing formula, there was a "corpse" character.

Haori formed hand seals. The sealing formula instantly unsealed, and then a body appeared on the ground.

Shimura Danzō, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado turned their gaze to the body. After glancing at it, they immediately looked at Haori again.

The emotions expressed in their four old eyes included bewilderment, doubt, concern, and slight anger.

They had the body, but who was this guy?

"…?" Haori was also surprised. Then, he immediately reacted:

"Sorry, I got it wrong. This is the body of a friend of an Iwagakure ninja…"

He wasn't afraid that they would misunderstand this statement. A Konoha ninja, what kind of friends could he have in Iwagakure?

Then, he took out another scroll.

This time, he was right. The Third Raikage's body was dumped out.
