Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 132 Easily Defeating Mei Terumi

The final match in the round of 16 was between Utakata from Kirigakure and Ryuji from Kumogakure.

Disappointingly.

Utaka, who was highly anticipated by the three girls and had been specially supported with ninja tools before the match, finally lost to the opponent's lightning ninjutsu after struggling for a long time.

Utakata's bubble ninjutsu seems rather useless.

Just like everyone else, Ayane Amamiya felt that she was ineffective at both offense and defense.

In contrast.

That black guy from Kumogakure is indeed quite skilled; he wields his ninja sword with impressive skill!

However, she was too lazy to analyze it too much, because her opponent's next match was against Matt Damon —

And the quarterfinals are about to begin!

"The first round of the quarterfinals —"

Hatake Sakumo waved his command flag and shouted, "Amemiya Ayane, a genin from Amegakure, will face off against Terumi Mei, a genin from Kirigakure. The match begins in ten minutes!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

On the large electronic screen at the top of the arena, photos of two ninjas flashed by, one on the left and one on the right.

These are snapshots from their last match —

Judging from the photos alone.

Mei Terumi was holding a water whip, vigorously lashing at the Inu clan's ninja dogs, a slight smile on her face.

On the other side, Ayane Amamiya stood with her arms crossed, exuding a cold and aloof aura, while Gamabunta lay on the ground beside her.

hiss~!

The moment the two photos were released, a collective gasp filled the arena.

Battles between ninjas are ever-changing, with exchanges occurring at extremely fast speeds.

Therefore, many ordinary viewers actually cannot see the specific details of the battle clearly; they are just watching the exciting scene.

Whoever uses a more powerful ninjutsu, or whose summoned beast is more ferocious.

Then whoever is more powerful!

But once these candid photos are posted, viewers can instantly feel the overwhelming pressure, as if they were actually there.

"This Amegakure ninja seems to have some skill! How about we crush her this round?"

"Ha, I think you just think she's pretty—"

"Nonsense! Would I be that kind of shallow person? The point is, that Mei Terumi was always smiling, and she looked so weak!"

"What do you know? That's usually what makes someone really powerful! There's a saying: the sweeter the smile, the harder the beating!"

"Besides, Kirigakure is a major ninja village; suppressing Mei Terumi is definitely guaranteed!"

The audience's discussions continued in waves.

The previous defeat of Minato Namikaze made the gamblers hesitate, but the thought of Kirigakure's reputation as one of the five great ninja villages rekindled their confidence.

Ye Cang looked up at the screen, feeling a little envious.

She muttered to herself, "The photographer from Konoha is pretty professional! He made you look so handsome in the photos—"

"???"

After hearing this, Ayane Amamiya retorted, "Isn't it because I'm naturally beautiful?"

Ye Cang laughed in exasperation, made a face at the girl, and said disdainfully, "You're really shameless!"

After saying that, she rubbed her hands together, eagerly asking, "How much should we bet this time?"

"Don't ask me how much to bet or how to bet; those are such basic questions!"

Ayane Amamiya waved her arm and said with unparalleled bravado, "I can only tell you one thing—"

Under Yekura's curious gaze, she said leisurely, "Going all in is a kind of wisdom!"

Anyway, all the money they make comes from Konoha, from gambling addicts.

Ayane Amamiya didn't hesitate or waver at all!

Moreover, he had promised Yakushi Nonou that he would establish an orphanage in Amegakure after returning to the village.

If we don't seize the opportunity now, we can make more money.

Should we go back and follow the example of the late Danzo Shimura, who embezzled funds from the Amegakure Anbu?

Ye Cang seemed to have heard a profound truth, indicating that he had understood: "I'll go right now!"

After saying that, clutching the money that hadn't even warmed up from the previous round's settlement, he rushed off to the betting odds outside the venue!

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Ayane Amamiya leaped into the arena and looked at Mei Terumi.

She said softly, "A quick and decisive victory?"

Mei Terumi nodded: "Okay!"

Hatake Sakumo pretended not to hear their exchange and continued swinging his arms, saying, "Alright, let the exam begin!"

As soon as the words fell, Mei Terumi launched the first attack.

Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!

A thick fog spread out, and she instantly disappeared into it.

On the other side, however, Ayane Amamiya remained in place, slowly forming the opposing hand seals.

The thick fog continued to expand, and soon, like a living thing, it engulfed the entire arena.

Although this technique is only a D-rank ninjutsu, the difference in its effectiveness when used by ninjas of different strengths is like heaven and earth.

In the original anime, Mei Terumi used this technique to try to block Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan vision.

So, unsurprisingly.

Ayane Amamiya's sensory ninjutsu failed once again.

Of course, she has gradually gotten used to it by now.

The girl quickly formed hand seals.

Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!

Countless spheres crackling with electricity floated out of her palm, then flew erratically in all directions, without any discernible pattern.

This looks like a desperate, haphazard attack, posing absolutely no threat.

But Terumi Mei, hidden in the thick fog, had a sudden thought.

She quickly recalled the battle between the other party and Minato Namikaze!

At that time, Amamiya Oto used the kunai on the field as a medium to unleash an extremely powerful lightning release technique, thus securing victory in one fell swoop.

And these lightning orbs might serve the same purpose as those kunai—

Mei Terumi dares not gamble!

She simply abandoned those probing moves and directly clasped her hands together, quickly forming a hand seal.

"Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!"

A burst of scorching acidic mist gushed from her mouth and quickly merged into the mist of the Mist Concealment Technique!

Wherever the mist passed, the ground was instantly corroded, leaving pitted marks, and the chakra lightning balls were completely annihilated. So the Mist Concealment Technique can be combined with Boil Release...

Ayane Amamiya seemed to be deep in thought upon seeing this.

In fact, she had already located Mei Terumi the moment the other party cast the spell.

If we follow the agreement we just made to "quickly resolve the matter".

Therefore, the most efficient way at this time is to teleport directly to Mei Terumi and fight her in close combat.

But the girl smiled, and then she remembered what Mei Terumi had just said—the battle between ninjas is a battle of chakra!

She simply stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

Wow!

Clear water flowed around her, forming a wall.

Ayane Amamiya immediately clasped her hands together.

The wall formed by the flowing water expanded around her like a tidal wave, rolling forward all the way!

The fog that permeated the air was repeatedly driven back by this water-based city wall.

Soon, the view around Ayane Amamiya became clear again!

Sakumo Hatake, the chief examiner, was speechless.

This method of breaking the Fog Concealment Technique is truly—bold, clumsy, yet effective!

The water wall continued to move forward.

Mei Terumi used the acidic mist condensed by her Boiling Release to strike it, producing a hissing and crackling sound as it burned, with large amounts of white smoke rising up, but it was completely futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"

Left with no other choice, Mei Terumi performed the technique once more.

A glob of grayish-white, highly acidic mucus spurted from her mouth and fell into the acid mist.

The high-temperature steam, which was already acidic, mixed with the acid liquid, and the originally misty fog instantly liquefied over a large area!

Mei Terumi raised her hand slightly, then clenched her fist tightly!

"Sizzle~!"

A piercing burning sound rang out.

The water barrier, which had been impenetrable just moments before, collapsed and disintegrated instantly under the combined burning and erosion of the blood from the Boiling Release and Lava Release techniques!

Not only that.

The acid liquid fell on the ground, dissolving even the rocks and soil on the site completely!

The entire venue was transformed into a death zone almost instantly!

At Sakumo Hatake's signal, the red sealing barrier rose once again.

This is my absolute best!

"If we still can't win like this—"

Mei Terumi gazed at the girl in the distance, feeling helpless.

This was a tactic tailored for her by the three Ninja Swordsmen.

First, use Boil Release and Mist Concealment Technique to hide yourself, and keep at a stalemate with the opponent. Then, look for a suitable opportunity to use Lava Release to unleash a devastating attack!

But who knew—

Within two minutes of the start of the fight, the opponent forced him to reveal his trump card!

Even though it's supposed to be a quick victory, it can't be this fast!

As Mei Terumi inwardly groaned, she saw Ayane Amamiya smiling in the distance.

The girl opened her mouth and flipped her hand, using the same familiar move!

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

In an instant, the collapsed wall of water rose up once more, surging in once more—

Again?

Seeing this scene, Mei Terumi felt a pang of weariness.

She had no choice but to use her bloodline limit again.

But the opponent's chakra seemed inexhaustible; as one water wall collapsed, another rose.

Throughout the entire process, Ayane Amamiya stood still in the same spot, without even changing her posture!

The highlight is the powerful brick flying!

Mei Terumi tried her best to hold on, but she was still forced to retreat repeatedly by the water barrier that slapped her face!

Bang~!

Unbeknownst to her, Mei Terumi's back was already pressed against the sealing team's barrier, and before her stood the water array wall, almost touching—

There's no way to retreat!

If this keeps up, I'm afraid I'll be crushed into a sandwich shape.

She sighed helplessly and raised her hand, saying, "I give up!"
