Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

---

The Fire Release was still burning, and Sasori didn't immediately escape from the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet jutsu.

What Sasori, currently being roasted, was feeling was irrelevant. After severing Hiruko's tail, Haori's attack didn't stop. Instead, it intensified, using the Fire Release as cover.

The intensity of Chidori flow suddenly increased. The powerful Lightning Release scattered around cut through the flames without obstruction. Because of this defensive ability, Haori didn't hesitate to charge into the Fire Release.

Chidori flow wrapped around his right hand. Before Hiruko could retract the remaining half of its tail, he grabbed the broken end.

As if he wasn't afraid of being poisoned.

Could Haori ignore poison?

Of course not. A closer look revealed that although he had seized Hiruko's tail, his palm wasn't actually in direct contact with it.

A powerful electric current acted as an invisible cushion between Haori's palm and the sharp edge of Hiruko's tail.

The pull from the other end of the tail was immense. If Haori were to compete in strength with a puppet, he wouldn't stand a chance.

So, he couldn't afford to stalemate.

Lightning Release erupted again. From his waist to his shoulder, from his shoulder to his hand, he suddenly exerted force. The extreme burst of power abruptly pulled Hiruko, which was enveloped in flames, upward.

His tense body leaned back. As Haori's back touched the ground, he had already lifted Hiruko into the air.

All he could see was firelight and lightning flashes, but he could clearly sense Hiruko's location through the feeling in his hand.

As if it were flowing, the Chidori flow on Haori's body began to transfer to his right leg.

Then, with a backward kick, his right leg didn't kick, but sent—Hiruko was thrown in a certain direction.

Of course, Sasori wouldn't just stand there and do nothing during this process. Although he had lost his tail, Hiruko continued to make its unique puppet beast sounds, "click, click, click, click," and constantly turned, spitting out poisoned needles at Haori.

Haori had only used one Shadow Clone Jutsu. Sasori wouldn't be unable to distinguish between the main body and the clone. So, he was attacking the main body.

If you looked down from the air, the density of those poisoned needles... it was like a torrential downpour of plum blossoms.

Logically, Haori was lying on the ground, with his limbs spread out, in a defenseless state. He should have been riddled with needles. But those poisoned needles didn't have the desired effect.

Because they were all deflected before they reached Haori...

It was clear that Haori was also aware of his limitations. If he only used ninjutsu, or rather, if he only acted as a ninja, he wouldn't be Sasori of the Red Sand's opponent. He wouldn't be able to defend against those poisoned needles in that situation.

But he wasn't a fool. Faced with these things that would kill him if he touched them, he decisively activated his magnetic field defense. You have to survive first before you can hone your jutsu.

So, facing an opponent he couldn't defeat, Shiraishi Haori, the ninja, was almost offline. Haori, the esper, was starting to emerge!

And the direction Hiruko was flying was towards the location of Haori's clone.

The main body and the clone's attack movements were synchronized.

To lure Hiruko's tail to attack, the clone retreated first, then, after the main body severed the tail, the clone immediately pressed forward.

In that instant, the clone's chakra almost instantly exploded, making him even brighter than the main body.

He charged towards Hiruko, which had been thrown by the main body, without hesitation.

A rapid, straight-line sprint. This was Haori's fastest mode.

From the front, the clone Haori seemed to be making a spatial leap. From the side, you could only see the layers and layers of afterimages he left behind.

His body leaned forward. In this running posture, Haori's upper body was almost parallel to the ground—from an aesthetic perspective, this running posture, which prioritized speed, wasn't pretty. The clone Haori looked like a freak.

But Haori didn't care if he looked good running.

Hiruko was right in front of him. His right foot, wrapped in Chidori flow, slammed down hard. The ground instantly cracked. The powerful recoil force increased Haori's speed even further.

Like a full bow, like a lightning arrow!

The Chidori flow on Haori's body suddenly extinguished, and at the same time, his right hand lit up with the utmost brilliance.

Chidori flow instantly changed into Lightning Release: Chidori.

This collision-style thrust, due to the lag in vision, Haori didn't care about hitting any vital part of Hiruko. He just wanted to hit the target.

Fortunately, Hiruko was currently in mid-air, basically like a target.

So, his arm pierced through Hiruko without obstruction, easily going through a certain part.

This ultimate attack nearly depleted the clone's chakra.

But it wasn't over yet. There was still a final use for this clone.

The sound of "sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle" rang out.

One, two, three... Explosive tags began to burn on Haori's body.

Then...

"Boom!"

The clone performed a close-range, suicidal, terroristic explosion attack.

Explosive tags are absolutely deadly and very practical tools—provided they can hit the target.

Consider the big figures who have been killed by these things since their inception…

Uh, does Shikaku count?

In any case, in this situation, Haori's attack, which sacrificed his clone, was something that Sasori of the Red Sand couldn't avoid.

Considering Hiruko's defensive capabilities, Haori was hoping that the explosive tags could actually cause some substantial damage. If Sasori of the Red Sand was really killed like this, then he would be the real fake boss.

But Haori had fulfilled his promise: He said he would drag the other side out of bed, and he did.

This round of fighting was lightning-fast. On the surface, it seemed like Haori had the upper hand. But in reality, if he hadn't used his trump cards, he would have been shot dead by now.

The sky was starting to brighten.

The smoke and dust from the explosive tag explosion dissipated.

Haori didn't attack again rashly.

The smoke and dust cleared, and a red-haired figure slowly emerged from it. Sasori of the Red Sand, apparently unharmed.

He spoke again, and his voice had completely changed. Or rather, his voice had returned to normal, no longer the fake raspy voice.

"Konoha ninja, you did well. You actually destroyed Hiruko? But..."

"Your hair color is really annoying."

Sasori stood in front of Haori. He first looked at Hiruko, which had been shattered into pieces on the ground, then turned his gaze towards Haori.

As for what he said... It was definitely a case of taking it out on him. Sasori of the Red Sand hated white-haired people, mainly because, years ago, a white-haired person had killed his parents on the battlefield.

This was a pot left behind by the White Fang of the Leaf Village. It seemed like Haori had to carry it now?

Haori stared intently at Sasori but didn't say anything.

Although it was a bit unfair to the audience, it's worth mentioning here that Sasori looked to be in his twenties at this time, and it seemed like he hadn't started his extreme puppet transformation yet... So, this meant that five years ago, he was a little boy, and now he wasn't.
