Chapter 225: About the Six Hundred Billion Explosive Tags

Alright, now let's talk about Konan's most explosive topic: the six hundred billion explosive tags.

The sheer number of these explosive tags was so great that it could bankrupt all paper mills in the ninja world, and it would have made Kakuzu so furious that five of his hearts would explode.

The topics stemming from the explosive tags have made Konan's extravagant spending habits increasingly outrageous, even developing into an ambiguous relationship with the 90-year-old Kakuzu, which is truly explosive.

[Let's move on to an irresponsible analysis regarding whether Konan actually spent Kakuzu's money, and whether Kakuzu would be angry if he knew Konan had used 600 billion explosive tags.]

"The time has finally come to analyze the six hundred billion detonating tags. I want to see what the light screen can actually analyze."

"Yes, after all, six hundred billion explosive tags is indeed a bit too exaggerated."

"If the Akatsuki could monetize these explosive tags, would they still need to personally capture Jinchuriki? They could just throw money at others to do it."

"Don't even mention asking ninjas to help Akatsuki capture Jinchuriki; even asking them to attack a ninja village would probably be enough for them to refuse. Hesitating even for a moment would be disrespectful to money."

After Sasuke interrupted their discussion about the economy, everyone immediately started criticizing Konan's six hundred billion explosive tags.

There's no other reason than that the sheer number of them is simply too outrageous; I can't help but complain about it.

[Let's first look at the description of explosive tags: a finished product in which chakra or escaping techniques are injected into a piece of paper (or similar material) to form runes, similar to a scroll sealing an item, which is released when needed.]

[It's actually an ancient scientific ninja tool.]

Therefore, even if explosive tags can be mass-produced, the fact that they consume chakra still cannot be avoided.

The explosion visuals and power of detonating tags are quite unpredictable; some are even worse than smoke bombs, some are close to fire-style explosions, and some are a mix of smoke and fire.

[Here we refer to the explosive tags used by Hanzo. When specially infused with Fire Release techniques, the power of the tags can be greatly enhanced.]

[But regardless of the type, it's essential to ensure that the detonator doesn't explode for a short time after activation; otherwise, there's a safety hazard, and you could easily blow yourself up. (laughs)]

Secondly, the detonator also needs to be somewhat waterproof; otherwise, it would be embarrassing if it wouldn't light in the rain.

[That's why explosive tags are so expensive – the skill involved in their preparation is crucial.]

"The light curtain is right, the waterproof technology of the explosive tags is very important."

"Jiraiya, I remember you used to make explosive tags for a while."

"Yes."

Jiraiya nodded, recalling some things from the past.

Not long after the end of World War II, in order to help Tsunade get over the grief of Kato Dan's death as soon as possible, he often dragged Tsunade to the casino to gamble.

Everyone knows Tsunade's skills, or rather, her luck in gambling.

Before long, Jiraiya's savings were all gambled away by Tsunade.

He wanted to make money, but didn't want to leave the village to do missions, so he had no choice but to work at the explosive tag factory.

Therefore, Jiraiya knew exactly how to make explosive tags.

Drawing symbols on paper is actually quite simple; more sophisticated methods involve hand-drawing, while simpler methods involve direct printing.

The difficulty in making explosive tags lies in making the paper waterproof.

It was precisely for waterproofing that explosive tags were categorized into different grades.

A good detonator should be waterproof without compromising its explosive power.

However, some detonators are not waterproof. While they can be waterproofed, this does affect the explosive power.

"Based on your experience, how long would it take one person to create six hundred billion of the worst explosive tags?"

"It will take several hundred years."

"What? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

It would take hundreds of years to produce 600 billion explosive tags?

How was Xiao Nan made?

"Old man, making explosive tags requires injecting chakra. Even the First Hokage couldn't make explosive tags 24 hours a day without rest."

"You're right."

"I was right from the start."

[After gaining a general understanding of explosive tags, let's take a look at Konan's explosive tags.]

The rune design is rather simple and crude, falling far short of the explosive tags that even the wealthy heir Shikamaru finds too expensive.

[But flames did indeed appear during the explosion, which is far more conscientious than detonators that produce white smoke.]

Secondly, Konan's explosive tags can still explode even when submerged in water. While a single tag's damage is certainly less than a high-end version, a close-range explosion did severely injure Obito.

[It's fair to say that, aside from being a bit ugly, Konan's explosive tags have everything you need.]

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

[So here's the question: Did Xiao Nan make the explosive tags herself? How did she solve the problem of the paper needed to make the tags?]

"Yes, besides requiring certain skills, making explosive tags also involves a lot of paper."

"Of course, no problem."

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, who was speaking, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten? Konan's signature skill is paper magic. Paper shouldn't be a problem for her, right?"

"Isn't the paper in Paper Release made of chakra? Could it be that the paper in Konan's Paper Release can persist for a long time?"

"Hehe, you'll find out as you keep watching."

Orochimaru had great confidence in Konan regarding the issue of paper.

Otherwise, I really don't know how to cover up the paper containing these 600 billion explosive tags.

The Land of Rain doesn't produce much paper; they can barely produce enough for their own needs. It's practically impossible for Konan to get such a large quantity of paper for herself.

Then there's only one explanation.

The paper used to make the explosive tags was made by Konan using her own abilities; there was no need to buy it from outside or take it from the Land of Rain.

[Let's first look at her signature move, the Paper Dance, which involves turning her body into paper. This is a unique skill of the character, allowing her to deviate from the usual rules.]

[It is known that after Kakashi uses Earth Release: Dog Head Wall, the dog's head does not disappear. Similarly, Konan, with her unique skill, can create paper using her own chakra, and the paper will not disappear.]

[Once this premise holds true, then let's look at the storyline after Konan blew up Obito.]

At that time, her chakra was almost depleted, while the shredded paper was still floating in the water, indistinguishable from real explosive tags.

[This shows that Konan, possessing her unique paper ninjutsu, can solve her paper problem on her own.]

[Once we have paper, we'll definitely need the technology to make explosive tags.]

[As I mentioned earlier in the video, Konan is a ninja who plans ahead before battle, so with her quick wit, learning how to make explosive tags shouldn't be difficult for her.]
