Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 121 Escape from Death

The childlike voice gradually seeped into my heart and finally disappeared.

Amamiya Ayane stared in disbelief at the hideous, enormous monster, but this time, she could hear nothing at all.

It was as if the voice I had just heard was just a hallucination caused by my extreme tension.

The only constant is the path beneath our feet, woven by the vines themselves.

She's still alive!

She must still be alive!

Ayane Amamiya tightened her grip, a sense of certainty flashing through her mind!

I guessed wrong.

The opponent's previous actions were not due to being attracted by my swirl chakra, nor were they some kind of survival instinct ingrained in their genes.

It came from the last vestige of humanity in that orphan named Ya Ya!

Using her remaining instincts, she used Wood Release to fight against the sealing technique Danzo had used!

Ayane Amamiya was filled with mixed feelings, but she did not hesitate in the slightest.

Without bothering to warn the two behind her to prepare, the girl manipulated the remaining water flow, creating a powerful thrust with her backhand.

Whoosh!

The water is surging!

Kushina and Nono were caught completely off guard, and the two of them were instantly shot high into the air like two arrows released from a bow.

Propelled by the water beneath them, they flew toward the only crack in the sealing spell!

Karala!

As if sensing something, the vines extending from the monster's body danced wildly, the dark brown branches moving constantly with the two flying figures, like venomous snakes with their necks bent towards the sky, waiting for their prey to fall.

Upon seeing this, Kushina couldn't help but scream "Ahhh!"

She was truly traumatized by the wooden monster that drained her chakra along the chains!

However, what you fear most is what happens.

Just as he was about to fly over the prison of the "Outer Four Symbols Sealing Technique", the force beneath him suddenly loosened!

boom!

Kushina Uzumaki and Nono Yakushi both crashed onto the wood!

"It's over!" Kushina lamented inwardly.

But the familiar feeling of being swallowed did not come. Instead, a faint fragrance of grass and trees wafted from the vines and lingered around their noses.

error?

Before Kushina could remain puzzled for long, Ayane Amamiya shouted from behind, "What are you looking at? Run!"

She snapped out of her daze, grabbed the still somewhat bewildered Nono, and ran outside.

The hissing and crackling sounds rang out one after another.

That was the sound of the surrounding vines being eroded by the sealing technique!

The black sealing runes spread across the trees like living things, and wherever they passed, the thick vines quickly collapsed and converged towards the very center!

This is the domineering nature of sealing techniques.

It doesn't follow any physical principles at all. Given enough time, Danzo could completely seal the huge base into a black sphere the size of an eyeball!

It's like a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru!

Seeing this, Kushina Uzumaki became anxious.

Why isn't that bastard Ayane Amamiya following along?

She waved her hand, about to use the Vajra Chains to pull the other person over again, but then a flash appeared beside her and the girl appeared directly next to her.

The breach in the sealing technique was imminent.

Through this tiny crack, the three of them could already see the outside world.

It was an extremely spacious area!

This is because the rooms, passages, corridors—everything that can be seen and touched in the root base—has now been highly sealed into this small area beneath the feet of the three people!

"You two go out first!"

Kushina Uzumaki, suppressing her fear, shouted, "I have the Adamantine Chains. You can drag me out after you've left."

Ayane Amamiya's expression was complicated as she looked at the vines beside her and said softly, "No need, she will help us."

Kushina was stunned: "Her?"

Upon hearing this, Nono was struck dumb, and tears streamed down her face once again.

We're closer now.

Ayane Amamiya finally got a clear look at the full form of this Wood Release variant.

Unlike the wooden dragons and wooden figures that have appeared in anime, this is a terrifying creation born from being forcibly twisted and fused!

The child's tiny spine was stretched and lignified, becoming the trunk of a large tree, while the limbs were transformed into wildly dancing branches.

Is this Wood Release?

Ayane Amamiya felt a little unfamiliar with him.

Its hideous and terrifying appearance reminded her of the Ten-Tails' hull and the Gedo Mazo!

Perhaps, Hashirama Senju's Wood Release power was a product of the degeneration of the Otsutsuki God Tree.

She paused for a moment.

Following the direction of his body, he took two more steps in front of him, then parted a patch of vines and green leaves.

Sure enough, beneath the gnarled branches lay the hidden trunk.

Ayane Amamiya knelt down, reached out, and gently touched the blurry human face that appeared on the tree trunk.

"elder sister----"

The soft, childlike voice echoed in my heart once more.

"You say it," the girl said softly, kneeling on one knee.

"Please tell the Dean—Sister—"

"Her birthday is in a few days, and the gift I bought for her is under my bed."

"Please help me—tell her, 'Happy Birthday!'"

Ayane Amamiya's voice was hoarse: "Okay, I understand."

She took a breath and plucked a bright, vibrant green leaf from the vine: "Can you give me this leaf as a gift?"

"Uh-huh!"

The voice suddenly became more cheerful: "If you like it, that's fine—"

After just a few hurried words, the voice in my heart gradually faded away and never rang out again.

Ayane Amamiya remained kneeling on the ground, not getting up.

She could sense that the ancient tree was now unleashing its full power.

The vines gently gathered around the three of them, forming a bird's nest-like shape to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Boom boom boom!

With each loud bang, Ayane Amamiya's field of vision rose sharply!

The ancient trees are growing like crazy!

Under the watchful eyes of Hatake Sakumo and Shimura Danzo.

This is an unknown place, hundreds of meters underground, unseen by anyone.

A gnarled and rugged ancient tree, relying on its remaining will, forcefully poked its head out from the dark seal!

This scene.

It was as if a giant from the abyss stretched out his arm, lifted them up, and sent them into the blue sky!

Ayane Amamiya quickly placed the tender green leaves close to her body.

She suppressed her grief, picked one up in each hand, and turned to leave!

The range of the sealing technique has been expanded, and the restraints have been broken. Finally, I can use Water Instantaneous Body to escape again!

shhhhhh!

Before I could even feel happy, a violent gust of wind came from behind.

The endless air converged wildly around Danzo, rising, compressing, creating a vacuum, and crashing with a deafening roar!

Finally, it transformed into countless invisible wind blades across the sky!

These wind blades were invisible and colorless, but their sharpness was overwhelming. Even from a great distance, Ayane Amamiya felt a dazed stinging pain!

This old man is even more ruthless than Ryoma Aburame!

She cursed inwardly, and with Kushina Uzumaki and Nono Yakushi, she dodged in quick succession.

But the wind blades were almost always there!

"Little guy, remember to head east, or you'll run into the Uchiha clan." A calm and gentle male voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Amamiya Ayane, whose attention was originally focused on the person behind her, suddenly felt her hair stand on end!

ghost?

She hurriedly turned her head, but saw nothing.

Only a sharp white light flashed through the air!

The ninjutsu released by Danzo was completely blocked by this white light!

this----

Ayane Amamiya understood immediately.

The girl pulled the two of them up, and without thinking, disappeared into the soil, hurrying away in the east.

And this happened shortly after she left.

Rumble! ...

Amidst a deafening roar, the entire massive underground base was finally condensed into a small dot by the Four Symbols Sealing Technique.

The earth groaned, and smoke and dust rose into the sky, forming a huge, bottomless crater.

Perhaps this is destiny.

In the original story, Danzo used his own life to activate the Four Symbols Seal, but in the end, he only sealed one bridge, allowing Sasuke to escape.

And now, he has returned empty-handed once again!

Ayane Amamiya and Nono Yakushi escaped unscathed.

Only the Root ninjas who couldn't escape in time, the expensive experimental equipment, and the records documenting countless forbidden experiments were all swallowed up by the sealing technique's gaping maw!

On the edge of the smoke-filled ruins, Sakumo Hatake stood like a rock.

He flashed to Shimura Danzo's side, tossed down a tattered record of a Wood Release experiment, and said coldly, "Advisor, I think you need to give the Hokage an explanation for what's in front of you."

"Oh----

Danzo knelt on one knee, panting heavily, and without even looking at anyone, let out a cold laugh: "Are you going to convict me, Hatake Sakumo?"

Sakumo Hatake said calmly, "Judging the crime is the Hokage's business, but I must take you back."

He brandished the white dagger in his hand and calmly stared at Danzo.

Danzo stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"It's just the Hokage Building? Get out of my way, I'll go myself!"

He dismissed the surrounding ninjas, took a step closer, and whispered, "Sakumo Hatake, let me tell you—"

"In Konoha, no one can judge me!"
