Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

---

Spies are unavoidable creatures in every shinobi village. They are much more hated than enemies on the front lines because they always strike from behind.

Captured spies are definitely the most miserable kind of play.

But no matter how much you hate and worry, it's impossible to completely prevent spies.

Therefore, every country, while conducting strict spy checks, is also implementing more effective defensive measures – placing more of their own spies in enemy countries.

The best defense is offense. If you stab me once, I have to stab you twice. Otherwise, it's so unbalanced.

Does Iwagakure have spies in Kumogakure? Of course they do. How could they not?

So, Iwagakure is taking action against Kumogakure. It's impossible for them to be completely unaware. Even if the spies can't get detailed information, they're not blind.

But probably no one would have thought that the Third Tsuchikage would go to such lengths. The Iwagakure ninjas are practically sending everyone out.

10,000 ninjas acting together… Haori's first reaction was that his mission was probably doomed. With so many Iwagakure ninjas, Kumogakure couldn't possibly ignore them. The scale of the war might exceed 15,000 people.

This would be a top-level battle in Naruto. There are only a handful of wars with more than this number of ninjas clashing.

To deal with so many enemies, Kumogakure would have to deploy at least 5,000 ninjas, right? A tactic like attacking with half the force is already scary and bold. As for Jiraiya's previous judgment that they would only deploy elite troops, it's unimaginable. It's probably not feasible.

His second reaction was that with such a large force deployed, Iwagakure would be weak. The Third Tsuchikage would probably be stationed in the village at this time, not on the battlefield.

In other words, the command of the battlefield on Iwagakure's side is not in the hands of the Tsuchikage.

Who is it? Is it really Dōjutsu? Haori didn't know.

With 10,000 Iwagakure ninjas going out in full force, logically, the speed of advance would be affected as the size of the force increased. But in reality, this wasn't the case. The Iwagakure ninjas were like a swift wind.

They left Iwagakure at dawn and reached Takigakure within two days. It was faster than a ninja acting alone!

Okay, at least a force of this size doesn't have to worry about being ambushed when advancing. They don't have to be so cautious when moving.

No matter what they encounter, they just plow through it.

Anyone who has the ability to ambush 10,000 ninjas, go ahead.

At least the small countries around the Land of Earth can't do it.

In fact, when the 10,000 Iwagakure ninjas arrived in Takigakure, they immediately scared the country out of its wits. Fortunately, Iwagakure didn't bother with them.

On the third day, Iwagakure crossed Takigakure and reached Shimokusa.

Then, they crossed the sea from Shimokusa. On the fourth day, they stepped onto the land of the Land of Lightning!

This speed was practically like thunder. If Kumogakure received the news too late or underestimated Iwagakure's speed of advance, they wouldn't have time to make many preparations.

As for choosing to go by sea, it was also a necessary measure at this time. If they attacked the Land of Lightning by land, it wouldn't be an invasion. It would turn into a three-way battle.

Because if they went by land, Iwagakure would inevitably pass through the Land of Rice Fields. And the Land of Rice Fields, currently, has a tangled frontline between Konoha and Kumogakure.

Iwagakure wants to attack Kumogakure's soft underbelly, not have three sides fight each other until their brains are splattered.

Almost at the same time, Kumogakure and Jiraiya received the same message that seemed like fake news but was actually true: 10,000 Iwagakure ninjas have invaded the Land of Lightning!

Jiraiya was also dumbfounded. No way, are you playing this big? Did you tell your dad? This… The Six Paths of Pain, please protect Haori.

It's fate that they have the same name.

But no matter what, Konoha must start to act according to the established plan, creating convenience for Iwagakure's actions!

So, Konoha's front lines also deployed almost in full force!

On Haori's side, he had been staying with his squad and following the main force. But after entering the Land of Lightning, Iwagakure didn't encounter any effective resistance. After successfully crossing the sea, they rested and resupplied on the coast. They immediately resumed their actions and were now practically charging towards Kumogakure.

What about Kumogakure's resistance? Why isn't there any?

Haori's original mission was this:

If the Kumogakure counterattack force didn't include the Raikage, then it was very likely that they wouldn't be able to resist Iwagakure's offensive. After the battle tilted towards the Iwagakure invasion force, he could look for an opportunity to leave the battlefield. The mission would end there.

If the Third Raikage really did act, then his mission would be simpler and more direct: assassinate the Raikage.

So, he was an assassin, an assassin, a ninja, a true warrior.

Even if the mission didn't require this, Haori would choose to assassinate. Confronting the Raikage head-on? Sorry, he's not a battle maniac. He hadn't really thought about that.

Of course, assassinating the Raikage wasn't the goal, but the means. The essence of the mission was to create an imbalance in this war.

To put it simply, since Iwagakure wants to invade the Land of Lightning and destroy Kumogakure's lair, let them do it. Whether they succeed or not is another matter. But at least they have to reach Kumogakure Village.

Imagine thousands of Iwagakure ninjas storming into Kumogakure Village… No matter what, can Kumogakure continue to fight the war?

But now that Iwagakure is playing this big, honestly, Haori considered that things were no longer going to develop according to Konoha's previous guesses.

Plans never go according to plan. Well, he should start thinking about how to escape.

But Haori was wrong, very wrong.

Four hours later, the Iwagakure force encountered Kumogakure's counterattack force.

It was a force. Although there was only one person, in retrospect, calling it a force wasn't wrong at all.

The lightning-shaped scar on his chest, the lightning character tattoo on his right shoulder, the stable, indestructible Lightning Release chakra mode, and the unstable, flickering lightning surrounding it. No description was needed. The ninjas in front of him knew who this person was.

The Third Raikage, A.

The Iwagakure force was stretched too long. A loser like Yoshida wouldn't be in the main combat force. He was arranged in the back, so even though he heard a commotion in front, Haori couldn't know the details.

But soon, the information came through.

Encountered the enemy ahead.

There was only one.

It was the Third Raikage.

The Iwagakure ninjas were excited. Wasn't this just someone coming to die?

Haori was also dumbfounded. What's the deal? Where's the large force? Where are the elite troops? Just the Raikage alone? 1 vs 10,000. Even the Third Hokage wouldn't dare to do that.

Maybe he didn't have to do anything. The mission would be completed. The Raikage would probably be targeted and then instantly killed?

It has to be said that Haori's understanding of ninjas was still very shallow.

The sounds of battle continued to come. Soon, the Iwagakure ninjas' excitement subsided because they realized that things weren't as simple as they thought.

The enemy wasn't as easy to deal with as they imagined.

This was a tough fight!

When the Iwagakure battle formation was fully deployed, Haori finally saw the Third Raikage surrounded.

Or rather, the Third Raikage charging into the enemy formation.

And the corpses scattered at his feet.

The Raikage's steps were swift, his movements brutal, and dust swirled around him.

He probably only used two techniques: the strongest shield, Lightning Release chakra mode, and the strongest spear, Hell Stab.

But almost all the Iwagakure ninjas who surrounded him were instantly killed.

Haori was stunned.

The Third Raikage was like a strongman…

Okay, it's still the same thing. The Third Raikage is a strongman.

But now, he should be described as a swift cat.
