Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

"Considering we've already encountered Zabuza Momochi, it's very suspicious whether there are any other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist here… Even if not, there would probably be ninjas of the same level. That would explain why the Hyuga team couldn't even escape."

Objectively speaking, Kakashi's judgment was quite reasonable. Haori nodded in agreement.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were one of Kirigakure's most elite groups. If they acted together in a group, it was very possible for them to wipe out Konoha's elite team.

In other words, the main opponents from now on would be elite Jōnin.

"In short, we're going to enter Uzushiogakure next. Considering the enemy's strength, we should try not to disperse."

If Haori and Kakashi worked together, they would be quite efficient.

But things wouldn't always go their way.

"Kushina's hometown?"

Haori muttered to himself. Thinking about this destroyed country's connection to Kushina, he felt a strange emotion.

"Huh?"

Kakashi obviously didn't hear what Haori was saying. He thought he was talking about the mission.

"Nothing. Let's check, and then we'll leave."

There was nothing to check. The two of them could leave immediately, but…

"Are you still going to carry that thing?"

Haori pointed at the Zansō that Kakashi was holding. Using this kind of ninja tool requires special skills, right? Could Kakashi learn it so quickly?

According to Haori, he should just throw it into the sea. What's the point of carrying it?

But Kakashi wasn't carrying it for some combat purpose.

Young Kakashi also had his wild ideas. He said, "Say, if we collect all seven weapons, could we possibly exchange them for the Byakugan in a very special situation?"

It's a good thing he didn't ask whether they could summon a dragon. So, Haori suppressed the urge to retort.

"No," Haori said definitively. "Either we get the Byakugan back, or the other party gets the swords back. And an exchange is definitely not within the scope of our thinking."

Besides, encountering the Seven Swordsmen consecutively? Let's just forget about that. Even if it was a one-on-one round robin, it would be very difficult to collect all the swords.

What if the other party really was acting in a group?

"Right…" Kakashi also figured it out instantly. But for some reason, he still didn't throw Zansō away.

In the morning, Haori and Kakashi entered the former Uzushiogakure, a country that was now uninhabited.

It was indeed a small island, but it depends on how you say it. If you put 100,000 people on this island, it would indeed be a bit small. But if you hide ten people here, it would be really hard to find them.

If the Hyuga clan's Byakugan could work, then it wouldn't be that difficult to search. But because of the existence of some kind of barrier or range interference jutsu, the Byakugan's range was limited. So, they could only rely on brute force to search… No matter what, it was indeed difficult.

Besides, maybe the enemy had already left with the Byakugan using a special method, like swimming two miles under the sea.

On the first day after entering the island, Team Haori didn't find anything. They didn't encounter any enemies. They did encounter two of their own Konoha people.

On the second day, in a deserted village, the two of them encountered their second enemy.

And their third enemy.

Another enemy who came out very proactively. This one… let's not talk about whether he was very confident in his own strength. The main reason he was willing to come out was because Kakashi was carrying bait that attracted him.

From a psychological analysis, these individuals were all fetishists. A sword made them lose their minds.

"That big sword… Since it's in your hands, it means that Zabuza Momochi-senpai has died at your hands. So, according to the rules, I should inherit it."

The enemy who came out was clearly about the same age as Kakashi, but when he spoke, he had a rather pompous air.

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the Zansō in Kakashi's hand… Even though he had already guessed that Zabuza Momochi was dead, he was clearly not sad. Instead, he seemed rather happy and fulfilled.

Kakashi didn't answer. Of course, he wasn't going to be so kind as to return it to the other party.

He didn't intend to use this sword, which was longer than his current height, for combat.

He stuck Zansō into the ground at his feet and pulled out the short sword he had been carrying on his back. The meaning was clear. If you want Zansō, come and get it.

At this time, although Haori was still standing next to Kakashi, he couldn't fight alongside him. Whether he trusted Kakashi or not, he could only choose to trust him.

"Kakashi, you'll be fine dealing with this brat on your own, right?"

Kakashi nodded. "No problem."

"Okay, it seems like we'll have to temporarily split up…"

This wasn't Haori pursuing some kind of equal duel. It was because he needed to deal with a more prominent big guy.

He took a deep breath and walked towards a different part of the village from Kakashi.

"Did you finally find me?"

Before Haori got close, a voice came from behind.

The battle behind him had already begun, but Haori didn't turn around to look. He stared at the face of the person who had just appeared. After a while, he said, "Why do I feel like I've seen you before?"

The other party was quite frank. He directly revealed his identity.

"My name… you can call me Rōshi."

Sure enough…

"Why is an Iwagakure person here?"

There was one more sentence he didn't say: Especially a Jinchūriki.

"Naturally, there's a suitable reason."

That was like saying nothing.

"In this situation, it seems like we don't need to fight?" Haori said tentatively. Fighting an Iwagakure Jinchūriki was useless for the mission. It would only waste combat power unnecessarily. So, it would be best if they could get along for now.

What was the reason for the Iwagakure Jinchūriki being here? Was it related to Kirigakure's actions? It was hard to determine just by guessing.

But judging from Rōshi's attitude, he seemed to be hostile towards Konoha ninjas.

"In the current situation, when Iwagakure and Konoha ninjas meet, there's no choice but to avoid peaceful coexistence."

"Besides, not only do you think I look familiar, I probably know your identity too… Konoha's 'White Fang,' right?"

The other party actually broke his identity? Haori's expression under his mask changed slightly.

Could it be that Iwagakure was taking some kind of targeted action, going so far as to send a Jinchūriki?

It seems like a fight is unavoidable.

"I didn't expect that the Four-Tails Jinchūriki had also heard of my name. It's truly an honor."

Identity exposed probably also means ability exposed, which is naturally unfavorable to battle.

An honor? Haori would be a ghost if he was really honored.
