Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

---

Konoha's two major dōjutsu are the Byakugan and the Sharingan.

Because the Sharingan's attack methods are more complex, its abilities are more unpredictable. In terms of the three-tomoe Sharingan, it has its strengths and weaknesses compared to the Byakugan. But above three-tomoe, it can basically be said that the Sharingan is superior.

The Sharingan has evolutionary properties in terms of general methods, which the Byakugan doesn't have.

But the Byakugan's role is not only in single-person combat, or rather, it's more meaningful in reconnaissance. Even in large-scale combat, it can be called a strategically significant weapon.

Seeing through the enemy's deployment, instantly seeing through the enemy's latest actions, only the Byakugan can do this.

But the problem now is that a Byakugan has fallen into the hands of Kirigakure.

Therefore, in a group battle, a Byakugan can play a much greater role than a Sharingan - this is a general statement, with exceptions for certain BUG-level Sharingan.

So, the Hokage's emphasis on the loss of the Byakugan wasn't just because of the Hyuga clan. If this kind of weapon was obtained by the enemy, it would mean that a sword that belonged to them had been handed to the enemy.

"Based on the mission that the ambushed Hyuga team was carrying out beforehand, it can almost be confirmed that the location of the incident… is the former site of Uzushiogakure."

The Third Hokage's voice continued.

"Considering that the elite Hyuga team was almost completely wiped out without any resistance, we're temporarily judging that the enemy might have deployed a medium-sized force or larger, or an elite team belonging to the Kage."

"Because the Byakugan is so important to Konoha, we have already dispatched some ninjas from Orochimaru's front line to blockade the near-sea area of Uzushiogakure. It seems that the enemy can't leave Uzushiogakure without alerting us. But considering the enemy's combat power and the pressure on the entire front line, the mission to retrieve the Byakugan can't be undertaken by Orochimaru's forces. And it's meaningless for non-elite ninjas to enter Uzushiogakure."

The former Uzushiogakure is just a small island. Considering the surrounding sea environment, it's actually not easy to blockade. Did they really dispatch all of Orochimaru's reconnaissance ninjas?

"So, I've decided that all of you present will be organized into a new team and enter Uzushiogakure to carry out the mission of retrieving the Byakugan."

As for why they need to go to such great lengths to retrieve this eye, the Hokage doesn't even need to explain.

"We can now be certain that the enemy is still trapped on the island. But due to factors such as the environment, terrain, and the enemy's use of special range barrier jutsu interference, the Hyuga clan's long-distance Byakugan reconnaissance ability has been somewhat limited. So, to a large extent, the search for Uzushiogakure will need to be done by all of you."

"The mission objective is simple: Retrieve the Byakugan. It's to be carried out immediately, and there is no specific time limit for completing the mission."

This means that if you don't get it back, it's not over.

This means that anyone who possesses the Byakugan, but is not Hyuga, will be attacked by Konoha.

The Hokage's mission was quickly assigned, and then the mission team began to be divided and assembled.

Because of the search area and the number of people involved, to ensure efficiency, and considering that the ninjas participating in this mission are all elite, the team was organized in pairs.

"Yo!"

Soon, Haori saw his companion for this mission.

White hair, masked, young, and eyes that have undergone 70% of the transformation into dead fish eyes - Kakashi Hatake.

"Kakashi, I remember you're a Chunin, right?" In such a serious situation, Haori still had the energy to imitate. His face clearly wanted to make a dead fish eye expression at this time.

"Yes." Kakashi replied.

"Didn't you say that the enemy is strong and that we need elite ninjas to carry out this mission? The question is, now you're a Chunin, and I'm a Chunin. So, does our team have any so-called elite ninjas?"

Kakashi pointed at Haori without hesitation and said, "It's said that you have experience completing S-rank missions and have repeatedly refused to participate in the selection exam for Jōnin. Theoretically, only elite Jōnin can complete S-rank missions. So, in this mission, the Third Hokage clearly considers you to be a Jōnin-level combat force. Of the two of us, you're the captain."

Haori: …

Why doesn't the conversation between these two reflect the sense of mission, seriousness, and tension of going to carry out a major mission?

It's their personalities. They understand the importance of the mission, of course, but what they think in their hearts and how they express it on their faces don't necessarily have to be consistent.

As for Kakashi now, don't look at him with his dead fish eyes. Once he starts carrying out the mission, he'll definitely be absolutely serious and focused. Even if Haori dies during the mission, he'll continue on alone.

"What about Minato-sensei? He's definitely going to be part of this mission, right? Why aren't you two in a team?"

"Minato-sensei is more efficient acting alone…"

Okay, Minato Namikaze's figure is indeed not here. Considering his speed, he might already be on his way to the former site of Uzushiogakure.

He should already be there, right?

While Haori and Kakashi were chatting, they weren't idle. They received their mission supplies and equipment, then replenished their ninja tools and medicine.

They only had an hour to prepare. Once the time was up, they would leave.

Because they had to get to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible, ninjas without special means of transportation would move together, while ninjas with fast transportation methods could leave separately!

Does Haori have a special means of transportation? He does.

He has birds. He can fly.

Using Summoning Jutsu directly, they would fly to Uzushiogakure. And with the seating arrangement and passenger capacity of the Eight-Trigram Bird, it could carry four teams of ninjas without a problem.

So, while the other ninjas who were carrying out the mission together were running, Haori and his team took off.

Across mountains and seas, past crowds of people, the horse doesn't stop… pfft, the bird doesn't stop flapping its wings. Almost at dawn, the Eight-Trigram Bird, flying at maximum speed, crossed most of the Land of Fire and delivered ten people to the outer sea of Uzushiogakure.

They released the Summoning Jutsu and recovered their chakra slightly. The ten people, according to their original five teams, began to act independently in their assigned mission areas.

Haori and Kakashi could basically only rely on their naked eyes for reconnaissance. Kakashi wasn't a reconnaissance ninja in the first place, and Haori's reconnaissance range was basically limited to his field of vision. In an open environment like the sea, it's probably simpler and more effective to use your eyes.

But the wind and snow were indeed an obstacle.

However, they found an enemy very quickly, whether they were blessed or cursed.

Approaching through the wind and snow, Kakashi took out a notebook, compared the photos to the person's face, and said, "Confirmed. It's a Kirigakure ninja."

So, it was time for Haori, as the captain, to give orders.

And he really gave orders.

He said to Kakashi:

"Take him down!"
