Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

---

Jiraiya's emotions quickly cooled down. With his mental fortitude as a ninja, it was impossible for him to lose his composure over some shocking information, let alone be surprised.

Even if you told him that Orochimaru, who grew up with him, was actually a girl, he would probably still be calm…

Uh, well, he probably would be surprised.

But the news of Sasori and the Third Kazekage combined wasn't as shocking as Orochimaru being a girl. Although Orochimaru did go through a gender transformation more than once during his successive reincarnations, and even gave birth to a son after a ten-month pregnancy by the end of the story, even the most complete trans person has been a pure man at some point.

Orochimaru is still a pure man, as of now.

Jiraiya sat back down and asked, "First question, let's not talk about Yashamaru. How can you be sure the person you saw was Sasori?"

"Konoha's intelligence might have a picture of Sasori, but that would be his image from years ago. Considering his age then and how he's changed now, even someone who has actually seen him before would have a hard time recognizing him at a glance after years, right?"

Jiraiya usually has a carefree personality, but when he needs to be serious and steady, he doesn't hesitate. This was different from his peeping at women in the bathhouse.

His doubts were reasonable. Yashamaru, the target of the "Star-making Plan," was not intentionally concealed by Sunagakure, so Konoha has detailed information about her. It's not strange that Haori could recognize her. But what about Sasori?

A ninja like Sasori, whether it's the information left to Sunagakure or other villages, is quite ambiguous.

After all, even though Haori's combat power is against the heavens, from an experience standpoint, he's not the type with a lot of experience. After all, how long has he been on the battlefield?

"Actually, it's very simple. At first, it was just a ninja's intuition. My first reaction to a very imposing puppet master was Sasori. Later, he revealed his true form - it was definitely Sasori."

"Of course, I have more direct evidence. At the end of the battle, the puppet master was simultaneously using fifty-six puppets to launch an attack..." Haori said.

For ninjas, appearance can be faked, identity can be impersonated, but how do you break through strength?

How many ninjas can control more than ten puppets at once?

Let alone fifty-six.

Besides Sasori, no one else could do this, right?

Jiraiya might suspect that Haori had mistaken the person for a moment, but he wouldn't suspect that he was lying. As mentioned before, from the lineage system, they are all their own people. So, subjectively, Jiraiya is willing to believe Haori. But the current doubt is that Haori's statement is problematic in terms of rationality.

And what about Haori himself? Although he was swearing that he was going to report important information to Konoha, in reality, whether Jiraiya would believe him in the end… he didn't care.

Yes, he didn't care.

At present, being a ninja was just a "job" for Haori. People have to find something to do when they're alive, right? No matter how hard he worked, how diligently he fulfilled his duties, even if he completed more S-rank missions than Jiraiya, he wouldn't have the same emotional attachment to Konoha as Jiraiya.

After all, he wasn't a native resident, nor was he a ninja with pure ideology. The Will of Fire? Konoha was just a place for him to live.

He didn't sacrifice himself for Konoha. On the contrary, if he really died on the battlefield, it wasn't because he died for a cause, but simply because he died on a mission.

So, even if Jiraiya really thought he was still a naive ninja, encountering an enemy and not knowing who the enemy was, there was nothing he could do… Even if Jiraiya suspected that he had been hit by the enemy's genjutsu, it didn't matter.

Anyway, he had already done what he had to do. He was responsible for providing information, and Jiraiya was responsible for making judgments. That's all.

But Jiraiya wouldn't be so suspicious. If someone could really control so many puppets, then his identity would stand out. It could only be the genius puppet master known as Sasori.

So, he didn't say anything for now, but instead asked the second question.

"Assuming the puppet master you encountered was Sasori, how do you know the puppet he brought out was the Third Kazekage? You know, information about the Kazekage like that is not recorded in the ninja handbook. You probably wouldn't have known what the Third Kazekage looked like before."

"Sasori said so himself." Haori said confidently.

From beginning to end, although Haori was telling the truth, it didn't mean he was telling the whole truth. It's a bit convoluted, but a lot of what he said was his own summary, and the goal of the summary wasn't just from the previous battle, but a combination of his past life and this life.

So, in fact, he was making up some of the information. If another ninja had fought Sasori, they wouldn't have gotten so much information.

From beginning to end, Sasori didn't say much at all. There was no useful information, so Haori made up a lot.

Anyway, there was no way to verify it… Besides, he was telling the truth.

"First, Sasori personally explained the puppet's identity. Second, the puppet's technique had a key characteristic - it could use Magnet Release."

Explaining the Third Kazekage's identity is actually simpler because Haori has evidence.

Iron sand began to float behind him, and Haori's voice continued:

"I have direct evidence of this. This pile of iron sand behind me, which still contains special chakra, was taken from the Third Kazekage puppet."

Jiraiya's eyes stared straight at the floating iron sand…

If you're talking about Haori's outfit, there are actually similar styles in Konoha. Many ninjas from the Aburame clan are accustomed to carrying similar jars, and the dispersal effects of their techniques are similar… But they carry bugs, while Haori carries iron sand.

Jiraiya had already learned about Haori's ability to use this technique similar to Magnet Release after reading his detailed profile, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

And Jiraiya also knew that Haori wasn't using Magnet Release, but rather a deeper development of Lightning Release based on one of his theories.

In fact, this was the case. Haori was basically leaking electricity all over his body when he controlled the iron sand.

Haori, mastering core technology, you know.

So, that really was the Third Kazekage's puppet?

If so, then the matter could be reverse-verified - besides Sasori, who else could kill the Third Kazekage and make him into this kind of puppet?

"So, the most important question is, according to you, Sasori used fifty-six puppets to deal with you. How did you escape from such a ninja?"

This was the biggest loophole. Sasori is so awesome, how did you escape?

Haori rolled his eyes. This was hard to explain.

The lightning on his body began to intensify, and the iron sand began to dance wildly.

Haori didn't answer Jiraiya's question, but instead asked back:

"Jiraiya-sensei, in this state, I'm not talking about Sasori, if I really wanted to escape, could you catch me?"

As he spoke, the Lightning Release on his body, like energy pulses, intensified with each flash…

Jiraiya was speechless.

No persuasive power? No, it was too persuasive.

If he didn't enter Sage Mode, he wouldn't dare to guarantee that he could catch Haori running wild with Lightning Release.

Let alone Sasori, the puppet master.

So, Jiraiya basically believed Haori's words…

And then…

You should quickly retract your power, the tent is about to be torn apart by you, okay? You've attracted the guards, okay?
