Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

Chapter 166: MSIN: Chapter 165



---

Haori, Minato, and the others spent the night on top of the Rashomon, observing the situation across from them.

The explosion that resulted from detonating the Dragon Vein wasn't a one-time event. There were several aftershocks, but their scale was nothing compared to the initial blast.

As dawn broke the next day, the Konoha group prepared to conduct a close aerial reconnaissance, flying closer to see what had become of Roran. Had the Dragon Vein's destruction been complete?

Queen Sara, at her request, was also brought along.

Why fly over when there was a faster way?

The answer was that, not to mention that most of Minato's Flying Thunder God coordinates had disappeared in the ultimate explosion, even if they were still there, he didn't want to directly Flying Thunder God into the middle of the explosion. Clearly, Minato had no interest in self-destruction.

The sight they had seen from that distance, in the darkness, with the naked eye, was horrifying enough. No one knew what the center of the explosion looked like.

After a night had passed, and everyone had calmed down and the explosion had completely subsided, Haori summoned his double-row, ten-seater, 16.1-liter displacement flying summoning beast, the Eight-Trigrams Bird, and flew towards Roran – or, to be more precise, "former Roran."

Only after reaching directly above former Roran did Haori make a rough judgment about the scale of the explosion.

If they didn't know beforehand, no one would believe that a city-state had existed here the night before.

Because all traces of man-made structures had disappeared.

There was only a huge, circular crater on the ground, extending from the outside to the inside, from white to gray, from gray to black, from black to red.

Like a giant eye opening up on the ground.

"The core explosion range, a radius of 15 kilometers."

"The secondary lethal explosion range, a radius of 50 kilometers."

"The overall explosion impact range, a radius of over 100 kilometers."

"The explosion height is immeasurable. The deepest depth is greater than 1 kilometer."

"All man-made structures have been obliterated. All life forms within the estimated range are dead. Roran… is completely gone."

Haori seemed to report these data calmly and precisely, but in fact, he was still terrified.

He had been thinking that if it turned out to be a dud, he would go to the center and plant a bomb… He had simply treated a nuclear bomb like a giant firecracker.

Fortunately, he didn't go. Fortunately, even though the explosion happened, it was powerful enough to blow even the protagonist's aura into a defeated aura.

Looking at the central location of the Dragon Vein now, it was still red-hot. When the wind blew, it flickered, eerily as if it were blinking.

Everyone had underestimated the danger of detonating the Dragon Vein.

Actually, it was a bit of a pity to detonate it like that. They should have considered the possibility of making it into a throwing weapon. The next time a village didn't listen, they could just throw it at their heads… It was a little exciting to think about.

"Haori, lower the altitude. Let's get a closer look." Minato said.

"This thing won't have nuclear radiation, will it?" Haori was about to say this, but then he thought again. Chakra, or chakra-like energy, should be a clean, non-polluting form of bioenergy, right?

So, not only is it clean, but it's also harmless?

Anyway, let's lower the altitude first.

100 meters, you could feel the temperature rising noticeably.

50 meters, the air was already scorching hot.

Ignoring the heat radiating from the ground, Sara knelt on the back of the Eight-Trigrams Bird and carefully looked down. Kakashi stood cautiously behind her, afraid that she would accidentally fall off the bird.

She had a sad expression on her face, and tears were welling up in her eyes… The city filled with memories of her and her mother had disappeared.

As if sensing the girl's sorrow, Haori tried to comfort her, "Sara, you should be glad that the Dragon Vein is gone. Otherwise, you would be sleeping with that thing every night. You never know when you might be instantly killed…"

"Now, this crisis has been nipped in the bud. The people of Roran have found peace. You haven't lost anything. Your title has changed from queen to mayor. Although the style is much different, the change in authority isn't that big…"

Sara, "…"

Facts proved that Haori's way of comforting people… was very effective. After listening to his words, the tears in Sara's eyes stubbornly refused to flow. Instead, she tilted her head and glared at Haori with anger in her eyes.

Her sadness dissipated exponentially…

What Haori said was very reasonable, although it was very untimely.

At this time, Minato disappeared from the bird's back, went down to the ground for a while, and then came back a moment later.

"The power of the Dragon Vein has basically been eliminated. Although there are still some remnants, it can no longer be used. Although we bear the guilt of destroying a harmless country, the potential threat has been eliminated."

Minato's expression didn't show any joy at the successful completion of the mission. His emotions were more focused on Sara. Destroying a harmless country, it was clear that he was reluctant to do it in his heart.

But there was no time for him to lament now.

"Minato, I've spotted a Sunagakure team." Aburame Shikamaru suddenly said.

Haori looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw a small team of Sunagakure ninjas operating in the explosion zone.

There was nothing strange about this. You set off fireworks in front of someone's house and make such a big commotion. Wouldn't you want to come out and see what's going on?

"Should we attack?" Akimichi Chōji said.

If they really launched an attack, not to mention Minato, who was a Kage-level ninja, the rest of the team was also definitely elite. Chōji and Shikamaru were both Jōnin-level ninjas, and Kakashi was about to become a Jōnin soon. In addition, there was the extra member, Haori. No matter how strong the Sunagakure team was, this lineup was enough to instantly kill them ten times over.

"No, we've completed our mission. And Sunagakure is our ally now…"

"Haori, let's retreat." Minato ordered.

The Eight-Trigrams Bird was a very obvious target, and it was flying low. This kind of aerial target was easy to spot, and the Sunagakure ninjas had already seen it.

"Look, it's the White Night Demon's bird!"

"Really!"

"Did he do this again?"

"Nani?!"

Many Sunagakure ninjas, or rather, most of them, recognized Haori's bird. After all, it had been exposed in public…

The Roran explosion was the first explosion event to be rated Level 10 on the shinobi world's classification table. In addition to causing the destruction of Roran, its impact range included the Land of Wind, the Land of Rivers, the Land of Rain, the Land of Birds, and other large and small countries. The danger and consequences of the explosion could not be accurately determined, but the environmental damage was particularly severe. The core explosion zone remained barren for decades.

The cause of the incident, besides Konoha, was never investigated by other countries for a long time. But there were rumors circulating in the Land of Wind. Some ninjas claimed that the White Night Demon's explosive bird had blown up Roran.

But this claim was not credible. The incident was clearly not something that humans could do. It was more believable to believe that it was a natural disaster than to believe it was the White Night Demon.

Sunagakure, stop demonizing the White Night Demon all the time. Don't blame everything on him. That's immoral.

In short, this incident caused the surrounding countries to become vigilant and investigate repeatedly, but the cause remained a mystery.

Later, people called this incident "The Disappearance of Roran" or "The Chernobyl Roran Incident." Various rumors have been passed down.

But Haori and the others had already returned to the Land of Fire after completing their mission. Perhaps there will be more stories about Roran and the Dragon Vein in the future, but they are no longer relevant to Haori.
