Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

---

The towering and unique architectural style, when described, was as brutal as if it were constantly preparing to unleash hell on the heavens.

This made Haori, who was standing on the back of the bird, blink his eyes hard.

"Roran, huh… It's no wonder it's the place where the Divine Tree grew, according to rumors. Even the man-made buildings are so tall."

Haori sighed inwardly. Regardless of whether Kushina's rumors were accurate, Roran's style was definitely "exotic."

He approached the city from the air, and the distance quickly closed.

For a country, Roran's land area was really limited. Compared to its horizontal expansion, this country clearly preferred and was better at extending vertically.

As he got closer, Haori discovered a problem with the city… It wasn't as peaceful as he had imagined.

Smoke and fire rose above the city.

Many of the tower-like buildings were broken in half, and collapsed buildings filled the streets.

The city was silent and dead, with no activity. It was completely empty.

What was going on? Didn't they say this country had tens of thousands of citizens?

As for the city looking like a battlefield, he didn't doubt it anymore. In fact, it had already become a battlefield.

Certain traces were clearly caused by large-scale destructive jutsu.

As for the two sides fighting, one of them was probably Minato's team. So, the question was, who was their enemy?

This scene didn't look like one side had a complete advantage. It seemed more like a stalemate.

Based on this judgment, the enemy had a certain level of strength.

Haori released the summoning jutsu and landed on the ground. Just as he was considering following the battlefield traces to find Minato and the others, a visible chakra fluctuation emanated from a building.

"This way!"

There was no need to look. Haori turned and charged towards the tallest tower-like building.

The entire way there was filled with the remains of puppets… This number made Haori wonder if the Red Sand Scorpion had come here.

Another encounter after all these years? It was a little exciting to think about.

But he quickly abandoned this thought. These puppets, although numerous, were clearly not in Sandaime's style.

After entering the building, Haori quickly realized that the source of the chakra fluctuations was underground. So, he quickly descended along the spiral staircase that ran along the wall of the tower.

He remained vigilant the whole way. The further he went down, the more intense the battle seemed to be.

To defend against an enemy suddenly appearing and launching a surprise attack, the iron sand behind him had already scattered.

But this was clearly being overly cautious. Even if he occasionally encountered a complete, standing puppet, it was already a harmless thing that had lost its puppeteer.

In this way, Haori quickly reached the bottom.

He walked down the stairs and took his first step around the corner. Before he could quickly look around, he heard a voice that made him freeze.

"Hey, Haori!"

A strange female voice, with a cheerful tone, called out his name.

Did someone here know him? Was it a trap?

Haori's reaction was incredibly fast. He was almost instantly ready to fight, with his full attention focused on being vigilant.

From where he stood, he looked forward. In front of him was the vertical cross-section of a huge shaft. In the center of the shaft was a vertical cylindrical platform.

There were no sounds here anymore. The chakra fluctuations had disappeared. He couldn't find any obvious enemy features. The platform was isolated, but the space between it and the shaft's outer wall was dry.

Haori felt a white light flash on the other side, then it disappeared instantly. For a moment, he thought he saw a figure flash through the white light.

Then, Haori finally saw what was on the other side. There were five people on the platform: Minato's team and a strange red-haired girl.

"An illusion? Or a genjutsu?"

He could only think that. After all, disappearing instantly in such an isolated place, it was impossible to imagine… Not everyone could be like Minato, who could shout "Look at me! Teleportation!" and go wherever they wanted.

Haori walked to the edge and shouted:

"Minato-sensei, are you alright?"

"Haori? We're fine. How did you get here?"

"I came to provide support for the mission."

Haori said. The iron sand behind him flowed like a ribbon, turning into a bridge that directly connected the outer wall to the central platform.

Then, Haori walked across the iron sand bridge to Minato and the others.

"You're late. We've already completed the mission." Kakashi put his hands behind his head and said.

Haori didn't pay attention to him. There was something else that interested him more.

The girl in front of him had red hair similar to Kushina's. She looked about 16 or 17 years old. Her clothing style was both postmodern and avant-garde. She was holding a short sword in her hand. Haori noticed the Konoha symbol on it, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Haori's gaze swept up and down her body, making her feel nervous and suspicious. So, she instinctively tightened her grip on the short sword in her hand.

"Who are you?"

Haori asked directly.

"This is the queen of Roran, Sara." Minato helped introduce her. He didn't understand why Haori was staring at her right away.

"So, Sara, do you know me?"

The person who just called out his name must have been her, right?

Sara thought for a moment and then said, "Your name… is Haori? I do have an impression of that name. I think I've heard it somewhere…" Sara's expression was a bit confused. She was quite ambiguous about certain memories.

"Haori, for some reason, I used the Memory Extraction Jutsu to erase everyone's memories. Your name… I probably mentioned it to the queen before. She might still have a faint impression."

"…" These words were a bit shocking. Why erase his memories for no reason?

"Why? What's the reason for sealing your memories?"

"It's not sealing, but erasing. And the reason for erasing the memories has also been erased. I don't know anything about it, just like you."

"I only remember that the team's mission was to investigate the Dragon Vein, protect the queen, defeat the puppeteer who was trying to use the Dragon Vein, and then completely seal the Dragon Vein. Those are the main things."

Minato said.

"Can't the memories be restored?"

"Unfortunately, unlike sealing, the erasing process is irreversible."

Haori had no choice. Was this going to become an unsolved mystery?

Why did the queen call out his name with such joy?

Even if he had mentioned his name, he wouldn't have that kind of emotion for someone he had never met before, right?

There must be a reason…

So, why erase his memory for no reason?

"Kakashi, did you hear someone call my name?"

Kakashi shook his head. "I remember even less. I just feel like my head hurts a little, like I was punched… You're not hallucinating, are you?"

You're the one who's hallucinating!

Haori heard "Hey, Haori" clearly.
