Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

I ran for a whole day and night.

The child, who had been being carried, woke up midway through the journey. Before he could even speak, Ayane Amamiya shoved a soldier's ration pill into his mouth and then knocked him unconscious...

After escaping for hundreds of miles in this way.

The two arrived at a dense forest, and only then did the woodpecker slow down.

"Alright, we should be safe now."

He breathed a sigh of relief, his tone tinged with the relief of surviving a close call: "Matthew shouldn't be coming after us."

In order to escape, the woodpecker only received cursory first aid for its hideous wounds.

By this time, the blood had already congealed and hardened, sticking the tattered clothes and rolled-up flesh together tightly, forming patches of purplish-black scabs.

Amamiya Ayane thought to herself: Maybe that puppeteer named Matthew never even had the idea of ​​hunting down the two of them.

After all, their escape was... a bit too smooth sailing.

The woodpecker, however, is extremely sensitive to every sound and every bush, and if he sees a dog on the roadside, he'd almost throw a shuriken at it to see if it's a ninja in disguise.

The caution of the older generation of secret agents...

Go ahead and learn it!

But this was just her guess, without any evidence, so she had no choice but to swallow her words.

"We absolutely have to work on sensory ninjutsu; being completely blind to it is far too passive."

In her past life, she always needed to use full-map cheats and quest guides when playing games, so she had never suffered such humiliation.

The woodpecker seemed extremely familiar with this forest.

He wandered around for a while and finally found a tree hollow. He then let out a long sigh of relief: "This is one of the safe houses for the Dark Guard here. It has a stockpile of supplies that will be updated regularly."

Looking at the boy that Ayane Amamiya had been carrying all the way, Woodpecker asked again, "Why don't you just throw him off? Are you going to take him all the way to the battlefield?"

Ayane Amamiya gently laid the sleeping child flat on the ground.

"If we abandon this child, then there will truly be no villagers left in Maba Village."

She answered softly, "There has to be someone... who remembers them, doesn't there?"

The girl's mind drifted back to the old principal's ramblings.

The woodpecker snorted.

He glanced up at the demon mask in front of the girl, said nothing more, and simply muttered, "Ha...naive and foolish womanly compassion."

Ayane Amamiya puffed out her chest, not angry at all, but proudly declared, "That's right, I am a woman!"

Although we only traveled together for two days.

But after going through a life-or-death battle together, she discovered that the woodpecker didn't seem to be a bad guy after all.

Although the term "Anbu" doesn't imply a lack of emotion, if the other party were truly as cold-blooded and ruthless as they claim, they wouldn't have waited until now to speak!

"Swan, I need to apply the medicine first. Please keep watch for me."

Woodpecker sat down cross-legged and instructed, "Stay alert. We're very close to the front lines now. Konoha ninjas might sneak over any minute now."

Can we please stop displaying the flag?

If you like to make things difficult for yourself so much, why do you call yourself a woodpecker?

Why not just rename it Crow!

While internally complaining, Ayane Amamiya leaped onto a tree branch, responding with her actions.

She is very tired now.

My hands and feet felt weak, and every muscle in my body was screaming for rest.

The series of battles, coupled with a day and a night of fleeing, were enough to take a toll even on a ninja, a being with 130 billion cells in a vegetative state.

But there's nothing I can do; I'm the only pillar of support right now.

After a brief observation of the surrounding environment, no unusual signs were found.

She found a secluded spot to sit down and then summoned the control panel.

You've completed a tough physical training session!

[Achievement Points +16!]

The first two notifications that popped up almost made the girl lose her composure.

So the control panel is treating your day and night of running as if you were just running?

This is so unintelligent!

Skip this one and keep reading.

You have earned a new entry!

[New entry: Overflowing murderous aura (white)]

[Entry description: Killing one person is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand is heroism!]

[Action Effect: You can materialize and release invisible killing intent to oppress and intimidate enemies! Please note that the intimidation effect is related to the amount of killing intent you collect!]

[Advanced requirements for this entry: 1000 Achievement Points + 1000 Killing Intent Points!]

What is this?

A ninja world version of Conqueror's Haki?

Ayane Amamiya thought to herself: This effect looks familiar.

Everyone else has the potential to become a king, but for me, it's become the potential to become a murderer, right?

However, she quickly remembered that killing intent seemed to actually exist in Naruto.

In the original anime.

When Team 7 went to participate in the Chunin Exams, Sasuke first encountered Orochimaru, who was lusting after him, in the Forest of Death. He was immediately terrified by Orochimaru's cold and murderous aura...

You should know that Sasuke comes from the Uchiha clan, which is famous for its Yin Release!

Logically speaking, one should have an innate resistance to this type of mind control skill...

This shows how satisfying it is to dominate newbies!

After glancing at the explanation of "killing intent value" below the entry, Ayane Amamiya suddenly felt a headache coming on.

The wandering chunin I just killed only gained 24 points of killing intent.

Based on this calculation, to advance the [Overflowing Killing Intent] attribute, you'd need to kill at least 40 guys like those just now...

Isn't this forcing myself to go to the battlefield?

Murder is a vice, and it seems I'll never be able to break it...

She put away the panel, took out a soldier's ration pill and put it in her mouth. She couldn't help but recall the previous battle.

It wasn't the joy of the final victory that was being savored, but rather the horrific scene of corpses strewn across the field that was repeatedly flashing through his mind.

This was the Second Shinobi World War.

It was during the time when Amegakure's strength hadn't been drastically reduced, and when Hanzo of the Salamander was full of ambition!

It's already in this terrible state...

What kind of hell on earth will the Land of Rain become after the Third World War a few years later?

No wonder the Akatsuki organization grew so rapidly later on.

The common people of the Rain Kingdom desperately need a glimmer of hope, even if that hope is like a moth drawn to a flame, burning itself out...

"But then again, the Land of Rain started the war first, and Amegakure itself wasn't entirely innocent either."

Holding Lanqie in her arms, she sat on the tree, her thoughts wandering further and further, unable to help but ponder the justice of this war.

The Land of Rain experiences rain all year round.

Forget about developing any kind of business here, even farming is difficult.

Ayane Amamiya still remembers when she was very young, her mother once held her and said with nostalgia that rice in the Land of Whirlpools was more than ten times cheaper than rice in the Land of Rain.

Now that I think about it, how could a country that even has to import food not think about invasion?

During a poor harvest season, a bowl of hot rice can cost 5,000 yen!

Five thousand yen!

If you exchange them all for coins, you can't even hold them all in one hand!

Boom!

A low rumble of thunder interrupted her thoughts.

Ayane Amamiya sighed, setting aside her patriotic sentiments.

I'm just a ninja about to go to the battlefield. Whether I can survive is still uncertain. Why think so much?

She looked up at the sky.

The pitch-black lead curtain pressed down overhead, like a thick net, ensnaring all the people on this land, making it hard for them to breathe and unable to struggle.

suddenly.

A thought, along with a flash of lightning in the sky, quietly crossed her mind.

If one day...

"I can become a god in the ninja world..."

"Then this is the first thing I need to do."

"It's about tearing this ugly sky apart completely, so that it can no longer block my view!"
