Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 131 The Past of the Land of Whirlpools and Mei Terumi's Promise

The arena, on the grandstand.

Upon witnessing Sasori's defeat, the Third Kazekage's face instantly turned ashen, becoming extremely unpleasant.

He didn't blame the scorpion.

After all, Sasori is only nine years old this year, making him the youngest ninja in this exam.

For someone his age, the level of ability he's demonstrating is already quite impressive.

What distressed the Third Kazekage was seeing Konoha's flourishing state, teeming with geniuses and promising successors.

Seeing Konoha recover was more painful than killing him!

"That technique just now, was it the Vortex clan's Adamantine Sealing Technique?"

Hanzo the Salamander recognized the vortex technique and couldn't help but sigh, "It's been so long since I've seen this technique!"

The Land of Whirlpools is isolated overseas and rarely appears in the ninja world.

After the destruction of their country, the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan completely faded from the sight of various factions.

After hearing this, the Third Kazekage gazed at Kushina Uzumaki from afar, knowing that this female ninja was probably the target of the Hidden Cloud Village.

It's one thing for Konoha to have the Nine-Tails, the strongest tailed beast.

Even the Jinchūriki are made from the best of the best ingredients!

On what grounds?

Unable to suppress the sour feeling in his heart, he began to speak sarcastically again: "Tsk, I didn't expect there to be such pure Uzumaki clan members within Konoha! It seems Konoha wasn't completely idle when the Land of Whirlpools destroyed them!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists instantly.

The Third Kazekage's words touched a raw nerve.

The annihilation of the Uzumaki clan cannot be entirely blamed on Konoha's slow response, after all, the two families were not neighbors who lived together day and night.

However, as the Hokage in power, he cannot escape blame in this matter either.

Compared to the First and Second Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not have high prestige when he first took office, and many ninja clans in the village did not actually submit to him.

In order to ease the tensions in the village and secure his position.

He even defied public opinion and released Uchiha Setsuna, the hawkish leader, from prison!

It's important to know that this man was the progenitor of the Uchiha clan's rebellion, the one Tobirama Senju personally sent to prison—

Later, when the Land of Whirlpools was besieged.

After receiving the request for help, Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a long time.

It wasn't that he didn't want to rescue the Land of Whirlpools, but rather that he wanted to provide a slow, thorough, and worthwhile rescue!

Ideally, they could hold a strategic point and rescue people!

He pulled the Uzumaki clan back from the brink, making them his unwavering political ally from then on.

So, while dispatching elite ninjas from his ANBU to support the Land of Whirlpools, he also remotely manipulated the situation, issuing all sorts of absurd orders, such as instructing reconnaissance positions to retreat five kilometers to be wary of a night attack.

Such micro-management.

Finally, when the situation in the Land of Whirlpools deteriorated, Hiruzen Sarutobi truly wanted to help.

The Uzushiogakure is beyond saving.

It was after this incident that his relationship with Mito Uzumaki gradually cooled down.

Time passes.

Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi is getting older, his political skills and maneuvering have become more and more mature, but he still doesn't know whether his original ideas were right or wrong.

But the Third Kazekage's words undoubtedly enraged him completely.

The power of this phrase, "The Past of the Land of Whirlpools," is ten times more effective than the previous sarcastic remarks and attempts to sow discord!

"Lord Fengying, I must remind you."

"Your village of Sunagakure lost the Second Shinobi World War! Now, all of Sunagakure's ninjas have been eliminated from the Chunin Exams."

The Hokage stared intently at him, his gaze carrying immense weight: "Before Konoha, Sunagakure is nothing but a defeated general!"

"Yet you have repeatedly jumped around in trouble, from the peace talks to the current Chunin Exams!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi abruptly ripped off his divine robes and demanded sharply, "Does Your Excellency believe that Konoha is a country of good temper?!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's aura suddenly erupted and exploded around him!

The Third Kazekage was taken aback by his unexpected move.

After taking a small step back, he finally came to his senses and felt humiliated. He then said coldly, "Sunagakure may have lost, but has Konoha won?"

"The puppeteer troops certainly suffered heavy casualties."

"but----"

He met his gaze head-on, threateningly saying, "Sunagakure currently has seven thousand ninja and a hundred Jonin! From top to bottom, not a single one fears death, not a single one desires to live! I ask you, Konoha, do you dare to stake everything and fight Sunagakure to the death?!"

Two completely different streams of chakra collided in mid-air, creating a silent yet powerful impact.

On the field, Sakumo Hatake seemed to sense something, and slightly raised his head to look in their direction.

After the Third Kazekage finished speaking, he made a subtle gesture towards Hanzo, his hand hidden under his sleeve.

Bro, it's your turn to perform!

Let's put some pressure on this old man!

Hanzo the Salamander remembered the contents of the oath, and though reluctant, he had no choice but to follow, shouting in a low voice, "The same goes for Amegakure!"

Ok.

Compared to the Third Kazekage's previous heroic demeanor, his words seemed somewhat comical.

But Hanzo kept his original aspiration firmly in mind.

Applying pressure is fine, but not excessively; the bulk of the firepower should be borne by Sunagakure!

At the moment when the three ninja village knights were about to draw their swords.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "The match isn't over yet!"

"Can't you just let me finish this exam in peace?"

He smiled and walked to the middle of the three, stopping them from moving, and suggested, "I think you should use the winner of this exam as the prize. Whichever village's ninja wins can unconditionally add one condition to the peace treaty, which the other village must meet. What do you say?"

The Kazekage withdrew his imposing aura and said indifferently, "Your Excellency, my Sunagakure ninja has already been eliminated!"

"Isn't there still Amegakure?"

The daimyo smiled broadly: "I see that Sunagakure and Amegakure have a close relationship, so there's probably no need to be so clear about the distinction, is there?"

He looked around, a serious expression creeping across his face. "Gentlemen, please do me a favor!"

"snort!"

Feng Ying sneered and said nothing more, taking it as tacit agreement.

Hanzo, the salamander, sighed softly to himself.

As expected, even though there are differences between the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage, they are still family and on the same side when it comes to important matters.

He nodded in agreement, saying, "Yu Yin naturally has no objections."

Hiruzen Sarutobi also abandoned his previous heroic demeanor, his old face returning to its previous calm: "Konoha has no objections either."

In the preparation area.

The girls were unaware that the three powerful figures above them had almost come to blows just moments before.

Mei Terumi approached, intending to watch the upcoming match between Ryuji and Utakata with Ayane Amamiya and Yokura.

After all, all three of them found Ryuji very displeasing.

Her attire was just as exquisite as when she set off.

Mei Terumi's previous opponent was Inuzuka Tsurugi, a genin from Konoha.

As for the specific manifestations—

How so?

Mei Terumi finished the fight in just three minutes, and by the time the referee announced the result, her clothes were only slightly dirty.

Even her hair wasn't messed up!

"The candidates who took this exam are all very capable."

Her gaze fell on the defeated Sasori. Mei Terumi didn't offer any sarcastic remarks, but instead sincerely sighed, "Sigh, the pressure on me is immense!"

Yecang sniffed the perfume emanating from her and sneezed several times in a row.

I've heard that people from Kirigakure all have a fishy smell, no wonder this guy is wearing so much perfume!

She muttered to herself, then whispered to herself, "It's okay, you'll be free of pressure soon!"

Mei Terumi, of course, understood her unspoken meaning.

His gaze swept over Ayane Amamiya, and the girl gave a soft snort, her words defiant: "Bearing the expectations of the Mizukage and Elder Yuanshi, I absolutely cannot lose!"

Ayane Amamiya raised an eyebrow.

No, this sounds familiar!

The girl looked at the electronic screen above her head, where the winners of the first seven rounds were displayed.

People I know include Mikoto Uchiha, myself, Might Guy, Mei Terumi, and Kushina Uzumaki.

In addition, there was a female ninja from the branch family named Hyuga Hana, and a lucky girl from Takigakure.

Moreover, the current regional situation is quite clear.

Regardless of who wins the next game.

I have to fight Mei Terumi first, and then face the winner between Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha.

This advancement path is absolutely death-level difficult!

The girl simply leaned against the railing, turned around, rubbed her hands together, and looked at Xiao Zhao: "Before the next round starts, do you want to tell me now if there are any taboos later? Like, where can't I hit you?"

Terumi Mei was furious.

What do you mean by that?!

Do you think you've got me figured out?

But when she thought about the other person's behavior just now, she felt a little guilty.

Mei Terumi really didn't expect this —

This guy in front of me is even better at swimming than I am!

"Don't hit me in the face!"

Mei Terumi leaned closer and whispered.

"besides----"

She looked around, blushed, and added in a whisper, "No hitting her chest—"

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya's gaze naturally slid downwards.

I rely on!

As expected of the future Fifth Mizukage, he has great ambitions!

She nodded, about to speak, when she saw the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon with a grim face waving and calling out from afar, "Mei, come here! Let's discuss tactics!"

Mei Terumi had no choice but to give Ayane Amamiya a look before turning and leaving.

Ye Cang then approached furtively: "What were you talking about just now?"

The girl glanced at her chest and said disdainfully, "No wonder you won't become the Kazekage!"

"Who says I can't become the Kazekage?"

Upon hearing this, Yekura instantly yawned, forgetting not only the question she had just asked, but also launching into a long tale of her ninja exploits—

Ayane Amamiya shook her head repeatedly as she listened.

This silly child, his attention is so easily diverted!

No wonder he'll be tricked to death by that bastard Luo Sha later.

At this moment, Scorpion, looking gloomy, walked back from the arena.

Seeing this, the girl comforted her, "You only lost because of your age. When you're a few years older, she might not be your match anymore."

Scorpion shook his head.

A loss is a loss; you were simply outmatched.

Moreover, he wasn't angry because he lost to Kushina Uzumaki; he was angry because he hadn't been able to prove his strength to Sakumo Hatake!

Ayane Amamiya saw through the boy's thoughts.

"Isn't it just Sakumo Hatake?"

She patted Sasori on the shoulder and loudly promised, "Watch me, Captain, take down the remaining Konoha ninjas one by one, right in front of him!"
