Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

Chapter 160: MSIN: Chapter 159



---

From the moment they invaded the Land of Lightning, the battle between Iwagakure and Kumogakure lasted a total of 15 days.

Fifteen painful days.

The war ended with Kumogakure, who had the advantage of terrain, putting up a desperate resistance, and Iwagakure being forced to withdraw from the Land of Lightning.

In terms of casualties, both sides suffered heavily. Iwagakure lost more than half of its combat power, while Kumogakure killed 1,000 enemies and lost 990 of its own.

This outcome would definitely make both sides of the war cry, but it made the remaining three ninja villages overjoyed.

Konoha was particularly happy.

It wasn't just happy, it was also very proud.

Because during this war, Konoha had personally demonstrated what it meant to be a true… troublemaker.

This outcome was largely due to Konoha's meddling.

After the war ended, Konoha's overall strategy wasn't to launch a large-scale war against Kumogakure or Iwagakure to directly force them out of the war.

The situation was the opposite.

Because the Hokage was worried that if they attacked at this time, something like "desperate soldiers fight bravely" would happen.

If Konoha attacked Kumogakure at this time, they would definitely fight with a desperate, do-or-die attitude. They would definitely shrink their defenses, pull the battlefield back to the Land of Lightning, and then… they would rather die than surrender.

So, Konoha didn't have any intention of sacrificing a large number of lives. A protracted war was more beneficial to the Land of Fire right now.

After all, while peace is the goal, the core and center is to prioritize ninjas.

As long as they could maintain their current combat power, Konoha would eventually win.

So, not only did Konoha not take advantage of the enemy's weakness to attack, but they also began to let ninjas who had been on the battlefield for a long time return to the village in batches to rest, while maintaining a balance of power with the enemy.

So, a large number of ninjas returned to Konoha. The war entered a relatively peaceful stalemate. This was probably the last peace. The next time they fought, it would probably be the final battle for all the countries.

...

Konoha, underground secret facility, intelligence department, a certain room.

This was an area that civilians and ordinary ninjas couldn't access. It was usually used to handle things that couldn't be seen.

It could be said that Konoha's prospects were already very optimistic. This could be seen from the list of personnel returning from the front lines to rest.

For example, this person in front of them, Orochimaru, one of the main leaders on the front lines, had returned to the village. As for the reason, he probably came back because he heard that Konoha had obtained some good research material.

It was the person lying on the dissection table.

"Hehe…" His characteristic hoarse laughter sounded from time to time.

"Ha…"

Orochimaru paused for a moment before calling out the name completely, "Sorry, your name always makes me think of certain things, Haori."

Orochimaru-sama was complaining about his name again!

But Haori didn't know how to respond. He couldn't say, "I'm sorry for having a name like Haori, right?"

In this room, it was now just Orochimaru, Haori, and the Third Raikage, two alive and one dead.

The plan to invade the Raikage's brain cells and obtain information had failed, as expected. Even with the combined efforts of Kushina, the master of sealing jutsu from the Uzumaki clan, and the Yamanaka clan, they couldn't break the seals in his mind.

But there was nothing strange about it. After all, even the most flexible hand can only untie a loose knot. For a tight knot, it's impossible to untie it.

There was no way out. To make the most of the Raikage's remaining value, Konoha's research shifted from obtaining mental information to detailed physical exploration.

And as Konoha's top Lightning Release expert, Haori was naturally summoned during the research process… Although Haori himself strongly suspected that Orochimaru didn't call him for cooperation, but to study him as material.

"So, Haori, what do you think the first step should be in researching a ninja's corpse?"

"… Slice it?" Haori said hesitantly.

It's not that he was ignorant. Human corpses had never appeared in any of his research topics in his two lifetimes.

"Slice it? Why do you think that?"

"Um, slice it first, then electrocute it and observe the reaction, or reverse the order. That's the usual procedure, right?"

Obviously, Haori was talking about certain experiments he had done in middle school biology class, with a serious expression.

Although his experimental subjects were only frogs… but humans, frogs, and salted fish, there's no essential difference, right?

Haori hadn't realized that he had dissected frogs. He needed to keep it a secret. He mustn't let Jiraiya hear about it.

"No need to slice it… You can directly apply Lightning Release to this corpse."

Orochimaru wouldn't cut the Raikage up before he had finished messing around with it.

Haori took a breath. He didn't say anything, but just followed Orochimaru's instructions.

Lightning lit up on his hand. Then, he pressed it onto the Raikage's body.

Then, before Orochimaru could draw a conclusion, Haori himself noticed something different.

"How is it?" Orochimaru noticed the change in Haori's expression.

Haori thought for a moment and then said, "Generally speaking, this kind of direct Lightning Release should have a corrosive and paralyzing effect on individuals other than the user. But the Raikage's body…"

He paused for a moment, "The cells are activated, just like mine."

He was very surprised by this phenomenon. 93 and 97 gasoline are different. Why would his aggressive Lightning Release activate the cells of a dead body?

This wasn't a medical-grade Lightning Release stimulation.

"Interesting… Try increasing the intensity of the Lightning Release." Orochimaru said.

Haori began to gradually increase the intensity of the Lightning Release.

"Increase it more."

"Increase it more."

Until Haori's palm was almost releasing Chidori, then the part of the Raikage's body that was covered by Haori's hand actually showed a phenomenon similar to Lightning Release chakra mode.

This… Haori even doubted whether this guy was still alive.

"The stronger the Lightning Release, the heavier the burden on the ninja's body. Although I don't know if it's because of talent or training, the Raikage's body is clearly different from ordinary people. His adaptability to Lightning Release is too strong."

"He even has a certain amount of memory ability. The reason why he's showing this form is probably because he was in this state before he died, right?"

Orochimaru circled the body of a strong man, sighing, explaining, and looking confused. It was really strange.

Even if he took a bite of the Raikage to taste how salty it was, Haori wouldn't be surprised.

This is the attitude of a scientist!

Raikage-sama, being dead is more painful than being alive, right? Do you understand this?

Haori mourned him for a second.

"Can the Lightning Release be strengthened further?"

After listening to Orochimaru's words and looking at his appearance, Haori finally understood. When he was observing the Raikage's reaction, he was also observing how strong a Lightning Release Haori could use!

So, to avoid attracting Orochimaru's attention, Haori shook his head resolutely. If he went any further, it would be a simple electric shock, not Lightning Release.

Orochimaru didn't dwell on this issue, although he had seen Haori's strongest "Lightning Release" mode.

"Haori, what do you think is the most important thing for a ninja?"

"Chakra, talent, learning ability, consciousness, etc… But if I had to say the most important thing, it would be the jutsu you master and can use."

Although he didn't know why Orochimaru suddenly asked that, Haori still answered according to his own thoughts.

Actually, he had a more universal answer. For all people, the most important thing is the brain.

"Hehe… hehe…" Orochimaru laughed again, seemingly quite satisfied with this answer.

"Yes, the answer is jutsu, but there's a paradox…"

"That is, the danger and risk of jutsu are proportional. Powerful jutsu inevitably have a heavy burden… So, the question is, you can use it without hand seals, but your cells are clearly just at the level of an ordinary ninja. Why can you withstand such strong Lightning Release?"

There was a lot of information in Orochimaru's words. For example… his words showed that he had already researched someone.

Haori was scared to tears by Orochimaru.

He was crying his heart out.
