[Alright, now let's talk about Konan's most explosive 600 billion explosive tags.]
[The number of explosive tags is so massive that it could cause the ninja world's paper factories to go bankrupt, and Kakuzu would explode five hearts on the spot.]
[The topic of explosive tags has also made Konan's reckless spending even more absurd, to the point where it developed into a strange relationship with the ninety-year-old elder, Kakuzu. It's truly explosive.]
[Now, whether Konan has spent her big brother Kakuzu's money, and if he would be angry upon learning that Konan exploded 600 billion explosive tags, let's move on to the irresponsible analysis section.]
"It's finally time to analyze the 600 billion explosive tags. I'm curious to see what the screen can actually analyze from this."
"Yeah, after all, 600 billion explosive tags are a bit too exaggerated."
"If the Akatsuki could cash these explosive tags in, would they even need to personally capture the Jinchuriki? Just throw money at someone else to do it, right?"
"Don't even talk about sending ninjas to help the Akatsuki capture Jinchuriki. If you asked them to attack a ninja village, they probably wouldn't refuse. Just hesitating a little would be disrespecting money."
After Sasuke interrupted the discussion about the economy, everyone immediately began mocking Konan's 600 billion explosive tags.
There was no other reason. It was just because the number was so outrageous that they couldn't help but make fun of it.
[Let's first look at the introduction of explosive tags: a product formed by injecting chakra or ninjutsu into paper (etc.) to create a seal, similar to sealing a scroll item, and releasing it when needed.]
[It's basically an ancient scientific ninja tool.]
[So, even though explosive tags can be mass-produced, they still can't avoid consuming chakra.]
[The explosion effects and power of explosive tags are pretty random. Some are worse than smoke bombs, some are close to Fire Style, and some are a mix of smoke and Fire Style.]
[Here, we refer to the explosion tags used by Hanzo. When special fire-release chakra is injected, it can make the tag's power even stronger.]
[But no matter the type, after activating the explosion tag, you need to wait for a while before it explodes. Otherwise, there's a safety risk, and you could end up blowing yourself up. (laughs)]
[Additionally, the explosion tag needs to have some waterproof functionality, otherwise, it'll be awkward if it doesn't light in the rain.]
[So, the cost of the explosion tag lies in this technique.]
"The light screen is right, the waterproof technology for the explosion tags is very important."
"Jiraiya, I remember you also made explosion tags for a while."
"Yes."
Jiraiya nodded, recalling some past events.
After the Second Ninja War ended, not long after, to help Tsunade move on from the grief of Kato Dan's death, he often dragged her to the casino to gamble.
Everyone knew Tsunade's skills—or rather, her luck when it came to gambling.
It didn't take long for Jiraiya's savings to be completely lost by Tsunade.
He wanted to make money but didn't want to leave the village to do missions, so he ended up working at the explosion tag factory.
So, Jiraiya was quite knowledgeable about how to make explosion tags.
Drawing seals on paper is actually simple. The high-end ones are drawn by hand, and the low-end ones are just printed.
The difficulty in making explosion tags lies in making the paper waterproof.
It's because of waterproofing that explosion tags have different grades.
A good explosion tag not only prevents water but also doesn't affect its explosion power.
Some explosion tags have poor waterproofing techniques—they can resist water, but it impacts the explosion's power.
"Based on your experience, how long would it take for one person to make 600 billion of the worst explosion tags?"
"Several hundred years, I'd say."
"What? Are you sure you're not messing with me?"
Making 600 billion explosive tags takes hundreds of years?
Then how did Konan make them?
"Old man, making explosive tags requires injecting chakra, even the First Hokage couldn't make them 24/7 without resting."
".Fine, you have a point."
"I'm always right."
[After understanding explosive tags, let's take a look at Konan's explosive tags.]
[The seal patterns are simple and crude. Compared to the expensive ones that even Shikamaru would consider too pricey, these are on a completely different level.]
[But when they exploded, there was fire. Unlike the explosive tags that produce white smoke, Konan's were much more honest.]
[Additionally, Konan's tags can still explode even when soaked in water. While a single tag's damage isn't as high as the top-tier explosive tags, it did manage to badly injure Obito when it exploded in his face.]
[One could say, Konan's explosive tags may be ugly, but they have everything they need.]
[So now the question arises, did Konan make these explosive tags herself? How did she solve the paper problem for creating the tags?]
"Right, making explosive tags requires a certain amount of skill, but the sheer amount of paper used is also a problem."
"Of course, there's no problem."
Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Did you forget? Konan's special technique is Paper Jutsu. Paper shouldn't be a problem for her."
"Isn't the paper used in Paper Jutsu made from chakra? Could it possibly exist for an extended period?"
"Heh, just keep watching and you'll find out."
Orochimaru was confident in Konan's ability to solve the paper issue.
Otherwise, the 600 billion explosive tags would be a real mystery.
[The Land of Rain doesn't produce a lot of paper. Their paper is only barely enough for their own needs, so it's practically impossible for Konan to get a large amount of paper for herself.
[So there's only one explanation.
[The paper used for making explosive tags was created by Konan using her abilities. She didn't need to buy it from the outside or steal it from the Land of Rain.
[First, look at her signature technique, the Paper Dance. She turns her body into paper, a unique skill that doesn't follow basic rules.]
[It is known that after Kakashi uses Earth Style: Mud Wall, the mud wall doesn't disappear. In the same way, Konan uses her chakra to create paper, and the paper doesn't disappear either.]
[When this setting is established, let's look at the scene where Konan explodes Obito.]
[At the time, her chakra was almost depleted, yet the paper fragments were still floating in the water, indistinguishable from real explosive tags.]
[This shows that with her unique paper ninjutsu, Konan can solve the paper issue herself.]
[Once she has the paper, she would definitely need the technique to make explosive tags.]
[As I mentioned earlier in the video, Konan is a ninja who plans ahead before battle. So, with her insight, learning the process to make explosive tags should be no problem.]
