Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 112 Hanzo: Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish!

After leaving the post station.

Ayane Amamiya's figure moved swiftly through the dense forests of the upper reaches of the Naka River, like a wisp of smoke, light as the wind and silent.

With the information provided by Scorpion and her own keen senses, she easily evaded the patrolling guards along the way and silently approached the area marked with a "special symbol" on the map.

This is a seemingly ordinary woodland.

If it weren't for Scorpion's guidance, to be honest, she wouldn't have been able to see anything unusual about it at all.

Ayane Amamiya thought for a moment, then quickly formed hand seals with her fingers.

In the blink of an eye, her body seemed to melt away, quickly disappearing into the soil.

Earth Release: The Technique of Fish Reflected in the Earth!

This is a commonly used beginner-level ninjutsu in Earth Release.

The main effect is to change the density of the soil by injecting chakra into it, allowing the user's body to move and crawl in the soil or walls, like a fish swimming in water.

After searching the underground, Ayane Amamiya still found nothing.

She emerged from the ground again, frowning, feeling a little troubled.

"The effect is the same as when I used the sensory ninjutsu in the Forest of Death!"

Another annoying sealing technique...

This familiar feeling made Ayane Amamiya absolutely certain.

The root system is definitely located beneath this land.

The reason he couldn't perceive it was entirely because a powerful sealing barrier blocked his senses, achieving the effect of "passing by his home without entering"!

I was just about to think of another way to try.

Suddenly, she keenly sensed a strange movement coming from behind her.

Ayane Amamiya instantly became alert.

Like a nimble cheetah, the girl darted silently up a nearby tree.

She concealed herself with the dense foliage, gripping the tree trunk with one hand and the Storm Cutter with the other, her gaze fixed on the open space ahead, ready to pounce.

With a soft rustling sound, a figure emerged from behind the bushes.

Her long red hair was still striking in the dim light, and her slightly chubby face showed a hint of dissatisfaction and stubbornness.

The person who arrived was none other than Kushina Uzumaki!

She brushed the grass clippings off her clothes, looked around at the quiet woods, and muttered to herself, "Huh? Where did everyone go?"

Ayane Amamiya narrowed her eyes slightly.

How did Kushina Uzumaki end up here?

She didn't rush to do anything. Instead, she stood on the tree, watching the other person's movements while silently releasing her sensory ninjutsu chakra, extending it outwards.

very good!

There were no secret agents accompanying the enemy!

Ayane Amamiya was relieved.

In a flash, she appeared behind Kushina and whispered, "Were you looking for me?"

"Ah! Waaaaah..."

'

Kushina Uzumaki was startled and screamed, but her mouth was immediately covered by Ayane Amamiya.

Lifting the other person's collar, Ayane Amamiya had no time to explain.

She decisively used the Water Instant Transformation technique, and in the blink of an eye, the girl's figure disappeared hundreds of meters away like a streak of light.

"What was that noise just now?"

Less than ten seconds after Ayane Amamiya left, a masked ninja rose from the ground and looked around the quiet surroundings with a puzzled expression.

"It seems I misheard."

He carefully checked his surroundings, made sure there was nothing unusual, and then his figure disappeared again.

far away.

Having calmed down from her shock, Kushina Uzumaki bowed deeply to Ayane Amamiya: "I'm very sorry, I shouldn't have eavesdropped on your conversation."

"conversation?"

Ayane Amamiya was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, she realized what the other person meant.

Her eyes darted around.

We can talk about eavesdropping and all that later.

Right now, when he was completely clueless about sealing techniques, Kushina Uzumaki just barged in and delivered herself right to his doorstep.

Heaven is helping me!

The girl's face hardened, and she was about to launch into her classic line, "You didn't want to either..." to get Kushina's help.

However, in the very next moment...

"Boom!"

A violent roar came from underground, just like a volcanic eruption, and the ground shook!

The previously invisible, powerful sealing barrier that isolated perception was violently distorted and fluctuated, like a soap bubble that had been popped.

Ayane Amamiya could clearly sense an invisible chakra spreading slowly through the space like ripples.

The seal has been broken?

What's going on?

Before she could react, she saw Kushina also turn deathly pale, her body trembling violently as she staggered backward.

"Ugh—!"

She clutched her chest and gagged.

Ayane Amamiya was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

Compared to this legitimate Whirlpool Princess, her Whirlpool bloodline is actually much inferior.

If at this moment she could share Kushina's perception and vision.

You will find that the moment the seal is broken, an indescribable, icy, and hateful aura, like a tangible black viscous liquid, suddenly surges out from the ground!

"Are you alright?"

Ayane Amamiya helped Kushina sit down, then opened the kettle and fed her some water.

"Go, go underground..."

'

Kushina Uzumaki took a breath, then stood up again, her tone firm: "I sensed it. There are many weak chakra beings there, and they are asking for help..."

'

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya's gaze instantly sharpened.

Many weak chakras are crying for help...

Nono, is this your work?

"Now, let's welcome the Third Hokage to speak."

In a conference room in the Hokage Building, Mitokado Homura, who was presiding over the meeting, spoke methodically.

The Third Hokage, sitting in the main seat, straightened his clothes and was about to get up to speak.

"etc!"

The envoy from Kumogakure suddenly interrupted rudely, "Lord Hokage, we still have things to say!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, suppressing the nameless anger in his heart: "Please speak."

Today's peace talks were originally supposed to revolve around the three kingdoms of Fire, Rain, and Wind, but after hearing the news, the envoy from Cloud Village unreasonably wanted to join the meeting at the last minute.

Although this domineering style was in line with his inner perception of the Cloud Village guys as vulgar and rude.

But the timing was so perfect...

This inevitably gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a slightly ominous feeling.

"As you all know, our Hidden Cloud Village has always been the most loving and peace-loving ninja village in the ninja world."

The first thing Tu Tai said was a lame joke.

The youngest member, Yecang, almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

But everyone present was a seasoned veteran, and none of them showed the slightest hint of a smile. Instead, they listened attentively.

"However, a terrible thing happened in Yunlei Gorge a few dozen days ago, which I think you have all heard about!"

Tsuchitai's tone suddenly became agitated: "A ninja from Konoha infiltrated Kumogakure, broke the seal on the Eight-Tails, and released the tailed beast in the center of the village..."

'

He turned his head and shouted, "Lord Fengying, Lord Yuying, do you know how many innocent villagers have lost their lives because of this? More than two thousand six hundred!"

"These kind people lost their lives because of this undeserved disaster!"

"Imagine if one day, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha lost control, releasing the Nine-Tails into the village..."

'

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer sit still.

He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Sir, please watch your words! The people of Kumogakure yearn for peace, and Konoha is no less friendly to one another!"

Seeing his angry expression, Tu Tai sneered and shut his mouth.

Seeing this, the Third Kazekage spoke up at the opportune moment, sighing with a sorrowful expression, "Your Excellency, please accept my condolences! Whoever did this, it was indeed going too far!"

Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Hiruzen Sarutobi's ominous premonition came true.

The Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Rain Village have truly joined forces!

But after it actually happened, he didn't panic.

He temporarily suppressed his anger and simply gave his old friend a look.

Danzo tacitly took his place in the speaking order.

He stood up and said coldly, "You yourselves are useless, unable to keep an eye on the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, so don't try to blame Konoha!"

"Furthermore, you need evidence to support your claims! What reasons do you have to prove that the Eight-Tails' rampage was Konoha's doing?"

Danzo's aura was fully unleashed, even suppressing the host, Mitokado Homura, who was standing next to him.

"evidence?"

He dropped the pretense, stood up, and angrily retorted, "I do have evidence!"

He slammed a stack of documents on the table with a "bang" and loudly demanded, "May I ask, what exactly was Orochimaru, the elite Jonin of your village, doing during the period when the Eight-Tails was rampaging?"

Is there a mole?

The thought flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's and Danzo Shimura's minds almost simultaneously. Their eyes met briefly in the air, and they instantly understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

But in just a moment, they both rejected the idea.

Orochimaru's mission to secretly infiltrate Yunlei Gorge was a spur-of-the-moment decision and was top secret, known to only a handful of people within Konoha.

And these people are almost certainly not going to betray us!

It seems that the Cloud Village was trying to frame someone randomly, but they got lucky!

"Orochimaru's mission is a secret of Konoha, and you have no right to know it."

Danzo, having sorted out the situation, coldly retorted, "Furthermore, if you intend to shift the blame onto Konoha based solely on this kind of evidence, then you are rather..."

"He hadn't finished speaking yet."

Suddenly, a deafening explosion came from afar, shaking the water glasses on the table!

Rumble!!

The entire Leaf Village seemed to shake violently.

Yekura was startled.

What's going on?

Is this an earthquake?

Although she didn't know what was going on, she still fulfilled her duty as a guard, quickly teleporting to the Third Kazekage's side, taking out a kunai, and looking warily at the people in front of her, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

However, the Third Hokage was even faster than her!

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already taken off his Hokage robe at lightning speed, revealing the ninja armor underneath.

His eyes, which had been somewhat cloudy before, were now as cold and sharp as ice.

He stepped out swiftly, his gaze piercing through the trembling windowpanes, locking onto the direction from which the explosion had come. His sharp shout, like a thunderclap, boomed through the conference room: "Who's causing trouble in the village?"

Hanzo the Salamander, who had been silent all along, finally found his opportunity.

He calmly replied, responding to the pressure exerted by his two allies, "Lord Hokage, there's a saying: 'Those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish!'"

Hanzo let out a hoarse laugh, half-teasing and half-mocking, "The Tsuchidae envoy was right! Konoha should be careful that the events of the Eight-Tails don't repeat themselves in their own village!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately turned strange.

Ironically, the earthen platform that started it all seemed a little uncomfortable at this point...

Even the Third Kazekage couldn't help but glance at the Cloud Village's envoy, wondering if that loud noise was part of a pre-planned operation by the Cloud Village.

But why didn't they even inform me?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was ashen. His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he felt displeased with each one, finding them all suspicious!

If he weren't afraid of losing face, he would have loved to leap out of the window on the spot and find out what was going on.

However, with Fengying and Yuying both unharmed, he couldn't very well leave first.

Danzo! Go!

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave him a wink.

Danzo nodded, feigning composure, and hurriedly turned to leave.

He felt a little flustered.

Why does it feel like the direction from which that sound came from overlaps with the location of the root?
