Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 110 Let's probe the truth.

"The eighth match in the round of 16 is between Kumogakure Tsuchikuchi and Kirigakure Utakata!"

'

'

"Well, that's all I wanted to say!"

Inside the tower, Orochimaru finally finished reading the long list of first-round opponents, and with a scroll, announced: "The perimeter of the training ground has been cleared. You may now disperse!"

With this announcement, the tense atmosphere in the air finally dissipated.

The long-awaited Konoha medical team rushed in from outside the tower, busily and efficiently treating the wounded on the ground.

Those ninjas who had not lost their ability to move walked outside, some excited, some frustrated.

A moment later.

The inky darkness of night spread out, completely swallowing up the last remaining noise in the tower.

By this time, the crowd in the tower had long since dispersed, leaving only the mottled traces of battle and the heavy stench of blood in the empty hall, which lingered in the evening breeze.

Tsunade walked in from outside the tower and looked at Orochimaru searching around on the ground with some confusion.

"Orochimaru, what are you looking for?"

Orochimaru coughed, quickly putting away the small bottle containing a few drops of residual blood, avoiding the question: "Tsunade? You're actually in charge of the medical team? I thought you weren't coming!"

Tsunade said in a flat tone, "The old man sent me here. He said it would be best if as few people died as possible during this exam."

"How many died?"

"About twenty or so."

Tsunade calmly said, "Moreover, there were many more who were seriously injured, mostly those who were blinded by rage during the chaotic battle on the last day."

She paused after speaking, then unusually offered a reminder: "The two consultants may have some objections to your evaluation method."

'

"A bunch of idiots! No wonder the old man is becoming increasingly indecisive under their influence!"

Orochimaru sneered, "The casualty rate on the battlefield is even higher than this, so why don't they jump out then?"

Tsunade's expression darkened, and she said softly, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Since Nawaki's death, Tsunade has lived a secluded life.

If it weren't for Dan Kato also serving as an examiner for the first round of the Chunin Exams, Tsunade would probably still be holed up in the Senju clan's territory.

Orochimaru actually understood the other party's state very well.

Because Rope Tree was also his only disciple.

Orochimaru didn't value many people. Besides his two companions and his master, he probably only had this silly disciple left.

Even so, he still wasn't prepared to tell Tsunade about his resurrection plan right now.

Tsunade has excellent medical skills.

Having come from a medical ninja background, her understanding of biology and cells is no less than mine!

However, considering that the Wood Release cells came from the First Hokage's corpse, and that Tsunade has a strong sense of morality and principles, the other party may not necessarily agree with her plan!

of course.

Besides these reasons, deep down, Orochimaru also harbors a greedy desire for power and a possessiveness.

He desperately craved power.

The resurrection of Rope Tree was due to both the unbreakable bond he shared with the tree and his own greed for power.

Orochimaru simply couldn't resist this power that "manipulated the boundaries between life and death at will"!

same.

The magnificent, vast, and terrifying power of Wood Release should only be in the hands of a few!

Therefore, in Orochimaru's plan, Tsunade was always just a backup option.

If the Wood Release cells cannot be tamed for a long time, or if even though one has mastered the Wood Release cells, one still cannot use them to create a suitable physical body...

Then we'll have to resort to cloning as the worst possible solution!

That's when Tsunade will unleash her power!

Let her clone a replica of the Rope Tree.

I doubt she would mind!

Orochimaru slowly plotted in his mind, like a snake lurking in the shadows, aiming at its prey.

The biggest problem now is how to obtain that forbidden technique that manipulates souls.

As far as he knows.

Even within the Book of Seals, a collection of legendary ninjutsu, this forbidden technique is a top-tier ninjutsu!

To obtain this technique, one must either become Hokage or achieve unparalleled feats; otherwise, it is virtually impossible!

As Orochimaru watched Tsunade's retreating figure, his thoughts drifted further and further away.

No matter how you look at it, the fastest way is still through Danzo's path!

As for that old man who was obsessed with power and profit, Orochimaru, with his arrogant personality, naturally never took him seriously!

"So, you're saying that the Ino-Shika-Cho trio couldn't even last a day of the five-day competition, and you sent them all packing?"

At the Ichiraku Ramen stand, Yekura was excitedly asking about the details of the match, forgetting to even eat the ramen she was holding with her chopsticks.

"Lord Amamiya is truly remarkable!"

Matthew, standing to the side, gave a polite yet flattering smile: "The Ino-Shika-Cho trio must have been one of Konoha's trump cards for this exam, right? They were taken down so easily!"

The exam is over.

As soon as Ayane Amamiya and Sasori returned to the post station, Yekura dragged them out for a late-night snack under the pretext of celebrating their victory.

They came together.

There are also three Shadow Guards: Salamander Shinta, Uto, and Matthew.

Hearing his compliment, Ayane Amamiya gave a lukewarm "hmm" and said nothing more.

Matthew looked a little embarrassed.

But he quickly and calmly shifted his focus, and as before, began to flatter Scorpion.

However, the scorpion wasn't buying it.

In the few days since he arrived in Konoha, he has seen many powerful people, and his original arrogance has unknowingly diminished a lot.

Yekura wrinkled her nose and silently exchanged a glance with Ayane Amamiya.

"I really don't want to be with this guy!"

Ayane Amamiya glanced back: Hurry up and eat your noodles!

She's quite strange, actually.

It's already autumn in the Land of Fire. Although it's not yet snowing or freezing, the temperature has definitely dropped.

She could understand why Yekura wore a backless dress in the scorching desert.

But when they arrived in the Land of Fire, they were still wearing this kind of clothing for everyday casual wear.

Isn't she cold?

With this thought in mind, the girl's gaze naturally fell on Yekura's back.

So smooth and white!

Even with the desert sun so strong, you can't get a tan.

Ye Canggang had just finished slurping his noodles when he saw this. He bit the chopsticks in his mouth and gently kicked her under the table.

"Ahem!"

Ayane Amamiya coughed, feigning seriousness, and quickly averted her peeping gaze.

Suddenly, the salamander god sitting opposite him spoke up: "By the way, the second round of peace talks with Konoha will be held tomorrow. Do you think Konoha will agree to our demands from last time?"

"How could that be? It's probably just haggling."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang stretched lazily, revealing his impressive abs: "We won't reach an agreement with Konoha unless we hold four or five more meetings!"

She whispered her analysis: "However, it seems the Hokage's thoughts are wavering..."

Ayane Amamiya raised an eyebrow and countered with a straight man's question, "Why do you say that?"

"Because it's said that he's summoned all the clan leaders of Konoha for tomorrow's peace talks!"

Ye Cang snorted, a sly look on his face: "You tell me, isn't this just to share the pressure? To avoid signing the treaty and being remembered with infamy for eternity!"

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya pondered for a moment.

Yekura's idea makes some sense.

But perhaps Hiruzen Sarutobi is trying to use external forces to temporarily ease the conflict in the village.

Regardless of which idea you have, it's a good thing for you!

At this level of meeting, even the chieftains of the various clans went to participate in the peace talks between the three kingdoms.

Danzo can't just stay holed up in the roots, can he?

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she resolved to use the Mind Control Sand Technique to briefly probe the strength of the roots tomorrow night!
