Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 114 I am her source of confidence!

Ayane Amamiya heard it clearly.

Inside the secret room, the person speaking was none other than Yakushi Nonou!

Unlike her past gentleness, her voice now carries a hint of weariness.

"You really surprised me... Ms. Nonou!"

"Under Root's watchful eye, we managed to secretly obtain hundreds of explosive tags, gather intelligence about today's external talks, and even manage to bypass Root's guard squad and detonate the tags directly in the sealing chamber!"

Orochimaru's signature hoarse voice followed from ahead.

His tone was filled with surprise and admiration: "I really didn't expect that you, a research-oriented ninja, could do things so well and create such a commotion!"

Ayane Amamiya, who was eavesdropping, paused in surprise.

Just as I had guessed, the huge explosion was indeed caused by Yakushi Nonou Inui.

Working backwards, the girl quickly figured out the other party's purpose.

Yakushi Nonou was probably taken hostage by Danzo.

She wanted to take advantage of today's peace talks to completely expose Root's Wood Release experiments to the Konoha leadership.

If this kind of thing gets out and is exposed to the public, even the Third Hokage would have a hard time protecting Shimura Danzo!

After all, it would be disrespectful to the First Hokage's corpse and to study the secret Wood Release bloodstains...

Any one of these points has crossed the line for many ninja clans!

What was that saying again?

Some things are nothing on the scale, but once you put them on, they're worth a ton!

This is exactly the kind of behavior Danzo is talking about!

However, Yakushi Nono's practice of "exposing high-level scandals" is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Even if the Third Hokage is forced by various pressures to disband Root and Wood Release experiments, she will definitely be purged by the Konoha leadership in the future!

No one will come to save her.

Even the Senju clan, who had the deepest connection with the Wood Release cells and indirectly benefited from her kindness!

A slight worry arose in Ayane Amamiya's heart.

She thought to herself: It seems that I have no choice but to forcibly take Yakushi Nonou away and find a way to send her back to Amegakure.

Before the girl could finalize the details of her idea, the voice in the quiet room rang out again.

"You flatter me, Lord Orochimaru."

Yakushi Nonou's voice was calm, without the slightest hint of excitement at being praised by such an important figure as the Sannin.

She sighed softly, "These actions are nothing more than the struggles of ants before they die; they are not worth mentioning."

Her years of espionage work, traveling among the various countries of the ninja world, made her realize one thing.

So-called conspiracies, schemes, and elaborate plots...

Perhaps we can take advantage of others' momentary lapse in attention and gain a temporary advantage.

But only strength is the key to determining who will have the last laugh!

"Tell me about your so-called collaboration."

Orochimaru didn't comment on her modest answer, but instead smiled and asked, "I'm curious, what other thoughts do you have?"

"I want to protect the children outside, and at the same time, completely break away from the roots!"

Yakushi Nonou was straightforward, stating her offer directly: "In return, I am willing to become your subordinate, helping you develop and research Wood Release cells. I will serve you with everything I can!"

"Oh?" Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.

Then I saw her hand me a file.

This is the resume of Pharmacist Nonou.

It details all her mission experiences in the shadows, as well as her strengths and specialties.

Orochimaru is not Danzo.

He was incredibly powerful, far surpassing Yakushi Nonou, yet he had absolutely no need for her.

Therefore, Yakushi Nonou had no choice but to reveal her value.

"A walking witch..."

'

Orochimaru glanced through the file briefly, somewhat surprised, and licked his lips: "You were a spy before?"

Two weeks ago.

After agreeing to Danzo's request to participate in the research on Wood Release cells, he also contacted Yakushi Nonou several times.

His impression of the other party had always been that of an academic ninja specializing in medical ninjutsu.

Unexpectedly...

Their original profession is surprisingly wild!

No wonder they were able to accomplish such a great feat so quietly!

After looking at the impressive resume in the file, Orochimaru's admiration for talent was immediately aroused.

Yakushi Nonou is not even twenty years old yet.

According to the records, during her twelve-year espionage career, she completed a total of 11 S-level intelligence missions, 87 A-level intelligence missions, and over 160 B-level intelligence missions....

This includes four extremely difficult S+ missions, involving the gathering of information about the Shadow of the Ninja Village!

But she still managed to complete it successfully!

This guy is really talented!

What was most important during the era of the ninja village?

He's definitely a talented person!

And coincidentally, Orochimaru admires talent the most!

He instinctively wanted to accept the other party's offer of allegiance, but before he could utter a word, Orochimaru hesitated.

If we choose to save Yakushi Nonou at this point...

He was confident that his teacher would not make things difficult for him because of this.

But this would be tantamount to completely turning against Danzo!

I wasn't really afraid of that shady old man, but the problem was...

Orochimaru is still eyeing the secret techniques in the Scroll of Seals!

If we fall out with Danzo, how can we perform the Impure World Reincarnation technique?

How then can we study the secrets of the soul?

How do I revive the Rope Tree?

Does he really have to wait until he becomes Hokage?

Or perhaps he could wait until the Third Shinobi World War breaks out, then lead his army to destroy a country and achieve unparalleled military exploits.

How long will this take?

Orochimaru's eyelids drooped.

Amidst the inner turmoil, the scales gradually tipped.

Seeing this, Yakushi Nonou felt a heavy weight sink in her heart...

Did I miscalculate again?

Actually, if we gave her more time to prepare...

For example, by the time the third Chunin Exams are held eight days later, the preparations will be more complete and the plans will be more thorough.

Perhaps this would give me some room to maneuver, allowing me to escape unscathed with the children!

At least, it won't be as rushed as it is now!

But then again, Yakushi Nonou really didn't want to wait any longer!

Because every day it's postponed...

With their own syringes, another innocent child may die!

"Nonou-neechan? I'm not sick, why are you giving me a shot?"

"Waaah...it hurts so much, but the head nurse is treating Yaya, so Yaya won't cry!"

"Sister, I feel so bad..."

'

"Dean, Ya Ya seems... seems to have become a monster... Will you still like Ya Ya?"

The scene on the operating table is still vivid in my mind.

Those little guys who used to run, jump, talk, and laugh behind him have all become cold nourishment under the Wood Release.

Aside from watching them slowly turn to wood before her eyes, there was nothing Yakushi Nonou could do!

Well, you can also do it during the final cleanup.

I plucked the green leaf that had sprouted from the tiny corpse as a tribute.

"Miss Nono..."

'

Orochimaru struggled with the decision for a long time, but in the end, he decided to give up on this talented person in front of him.

"I'm very interested in you and your proposal."

He sighed and changed his excuse: "But I'm sorry, my ambition is now to become Hokage, so I will not make an enemy of Advisor Danzo unless absolutely necessary."

Yakushi Nono clenched her fists, her face as calm as still water.

Although she had expected this answer, she still found it difficult to calm down when she actually heard it.

My heart started pounding violently in my chest, as if a fire was burning inside!

Why?

Could it be that I did something wrong?

Are the lives of those homeless children not lives too?

At this moment, she had many questions she wanted to ask and wanted to say them out loud.

But soon, the fire in his heart went out again.

Yakushi Nonou is not an innocent child.

She knew that no one would answer the questions of a weak person, nor would anyone care about the anger of a weak person.

This is the world of ninjas!

this is the truth!

Orochimaru paused, then slowly said, "However, I can assure you that those children outside..."

Meeting the expectant gaze that suddenly appeared in Yakushi Nonou's eyes, he said indifferently yet cruelly, "When I use them in the future, I will give them a quick death!"

"6

""

Yakushi Nonou paused for a moment before managing to squeeze out two words in a dry voice: "Thank you."

Orochimaru is a determined person.

Once he makes a decision, he rarely regrets it.

"Aren't you going to run away?"

"If you run for your life now, you might still make it in time."

"I won't stop you."

He suppressed his regret, his tone returning to its previous playful tone as he reminded, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Root ninjas... like that guy named Aburame Ryoma, should be arriving soon!"

Preventing Yakushi Nonou from escaping is pointless.

He'd love for the other party to make a huge fuss!

The bigger the commotion gets, the more passive Danzo will become, and the more he will rely on himself when facing a united attack from the ninja clans in the future!

"After Aburame Ryoma, there will be ANBU sent by the Hokage, as well as ninjas from various clans to investigate the situation."

After saying that, Orochimaru looked at the other person with interest: "Or perhaps, you actually have some hidden trump card that gives you the confidence to face these people?"

Yakushi Nono smiled wryly.

Now that things have come to this, what trump cards do I have left?

She touched the letter she had written in advance in her pocket, wanting to send it out as soon as possible using her summoned beast before she was arrested and taken away.

Ayane, I'm so sorry...

Yakushi Nonou suddenly remembered the time when she was fleeing for her life in the Land of Earth.

A question I asked myself back then: If I were ever in danger, would you cause a ruckus in Konoha for me?

That was after she witnessed the other party causing a ruckus in Iwagakure for the sake of that ordinary Amegakure spy. It was one of the few times in her years of infiltration that she felt curiosity and bewilderment.

She still hasn't forgotten Ayane Amamiya's answer.

Regardless of whether the other party was sincere or not at the time.

Even Yakushi Nonou believed it!

So she didn't take the initiative to contact the other party, and chose to silently bear the burden of this matter from beginning to end.

team leader...

Yakushi Nonou murmured to herself: I'm so sorry, I hope the information in the letter can help you.

Clang!

Just then, a loud bang came from behind.

The door to the secret room was kicked open, as if a burst of lightning had cleaved through the gloomy clouds.

Ayane Amamiya strode out, meeting their gazes.

She carried the Stormbringer in one hand, her red hair tied in a ponytail hanging down her back, and her amber eyes were sharp as knives.

The girl raised her head and declared to Orochimaru with a resolute air, "I am her source of confidence!"
