Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

---

After the team enjoyed a satisfying meal of Ichiraku ramen, Haori, who was quite concerned about Namikaze Minato's mission, went directly to ask Kushina about it.

After he asked his question, Kushina began her explanation.

"A long, long time ago, in the center of this world, there was a giant, towering sky tree. Because it was perhaps magnificent, people saw it as a miracle and believed that a god resided on it. So, without realizing it, people began to call it the Divine Tree…"

Kushina was in a good mood lately. This was probably the result of various factors combined. So, she was ready to patiently explain everything from the beginning.

But as soon as she began speaking, Haori felt a flaw in her story.

"Wait, this scene seems familiar…"

It wasn't unreasonable for Haori to feel like he had seen this before. Because there were several possibilities regarding this huge tree.

First, a Ging Freecss might be living on this tree.

Second, a Asuna Yuuki might be living on this tree.

Third, a Six Paths Mother might also be living on this tree.

Haori understood what the word "Divine Tree" meant in Naruto.

"Haori, have you heard of this? No way, right?" Kushina asked in confusion.

This kind of ancient legend, in other words, is all old news, hearsay, and untraceable. But some people still treat it as a precious piece of information, which is a ridiculous thing that would only be passed down in the ancient Ninshū. It's clearly not something a ninja like Haori, with his identity and age, would be able to know.

After all, Kushina knew Haori quite well, having "watched him grow up."

"… No, it's probably just a feeling of déjà vu. Teacher, please continue."

Haori said. The tragedy of life is that even if he complains to Kushina, she won't understand.

"Anyway, a long time ago, people settled down under this Divine Tree. Although the chaotic battle situation was even worse than it is now, this town was destroyed and rebuilt several times in the midst of the war, but the Divine Tree was never damaged."

Kushina said.

"Wait again. This sounds familiar again."

Could this be that… that… treasure tree whose wood occasionally appears on the black market?

Hold on. I absolutely can't complain.

Repeated interruptions obviously disrupted Kushina's rhythm, suppressing her spirit of popular science. It meant that her spirit of anger would be ignited.

"So, are you still listening to this?" She glanced at Haori with a dangerous look.

"Yes, please continue, Teacher. I promise I won't interrupt again." Haori quickly admitted his mistake.

"Teacher?"

"No… I mean, Kushina-sama, please hurry up and say it."

Kushina finally managed to restrain herself again. Considering that her disciple was already 14 years old, she would try not to hit him randomly anymore. Well, at least she would limit it to five times a month.

So, she continued, "But war is unpredictable. One day, the Divine Tree and the town were destroyed together."

"Many years later, humans began to live in the ruins of the town again. By chance, they discovered that the place where the Divine Tree grew still had the Divine Tree's energy remaining. Gradually, some people discovered how to control the energy… Later, people called it Dragon Vein."

"This town later became a country, establishing a small country with a population of less than 50,000. The king of the country has the power to control the Dragon Vein."

"This small country, located between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers, is called Roran."

"The power of the Dragon Vein has been passed down."

Haori: "…"

So, why is it called Roran? Is it like it's uncomfortable if it's not destroyed?

And a population of less than 50,000… It's not a small country, it's a village-level gathering place. Konoha is several times bigger than it.

But Haori also had doubts about Kushina's words. The Divine Tree wasn't destroyed. It was plucked of the fruits of summer that had accumulated over time, and then it went berserk, right? It transformed into the Ten-Tails, right?

As for Kushina's explanation… either this was truly lost in the process of being passed down from generation to generation in the Uzumaki clan, or she thought that some things didn't need to be known by Haori.

The Nine-Tails knew all of this. Kushina should strengthen her communication and learning with him.

However, Haori still obtained important information from Kushina's words. So, Roran is where the Divine Tree grew? And there are still remnants of the Ten-Tails' power there?

In short, he chose to believe it for now, although Kushina couldn't be sure about these things.

"So, Minato-sensei went to Roran on a mission. Is it because something went wrong with this Dragon Vein?"

"Yes, Konoha received intelligence that there were abnormal fluctuations and energy overflows in the Dragon Vein. So, Minato went to investigate." Kushina said, with a look of satisfaction.

It was as if Haori's intelligence was entirely due to her excellent teaching.

Haori moved his gaze away from Kushina's face and began to think freely.

He wouldn't know certain parts of the plot. So, after hearing that Minato's mission seemed to be related to the Ten-Tails, he began to suspect that there was some deeper reason behind this mission.

Could it be related to a certain mastermind? Has he already started acting?

Therefore, he felt that he should go and see for himself.

.........

But as a ninja, Haori couldn't just do whatever he wanted. It was impossible to leave the village just like that. If a ninja left without saying goodbye, they would be a rogue ninja.

So, he had to wait until his current mission, assisting Orochimaru with his slicing research, was completed before he could act.

Haori was ready. Minato's team had already exceeded their mission stay period, but they hadn't returned to Konoha on time.

So, he could just submit an application to the Hokage to go and meet Minato.

The Hokage thought for a moment. Anyway, this guy was just sitting around doing nothing. He agreed to his request… If he didn't agree, he was afraid that Kushina would come and "persuade" him. Considering that situation, he didn't hesitate.

Haori's map movement ability was very strong. The Hokage didn't need to worry about that. After all, he could fly.

So, six days after Minato's team began their mission, Haori also set off.

The Eight-Trigrams Bird was clearly a bomber, but Haori always used it as a transport plane. This made it feel confused.

Taking off straight into the clouds, Haori controlled the Eight-Trigrams Bird's flying altitude between White Sea and White White Sea. No one on the ground could discover his whereabouts. You know, Sunagakure has always welcomed the White Night Demon to enter. Once they discovered him, they would definitely give him a warm welcome, using all kinds of fancy jutsu to set off fireworks for him.

Following the map's instructions, Haori lowered his altitude when he got close to the country of Roran.

It was already morning. The sun hadn't risen yet, but the refracted light from the atmosphere had already illuminated the ground.

In the misty morning air, a huge and towering shadow appeared in front of Haori.
