Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 141 A murderous intent arose!

Huafeng Restaurant is the most upscale restaurant in Konoha Village!

It is said that the restaurant owner was one of the first commoners to come to Konoha when it was first established, and he had a deep relationship with the Senju clan.

Even the plaque in front of the restaurant's main entrance was personally written by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!

Tonight, the Third Kazekage has booked the entire restaurant to entertain the ruling class of Konoha and the Land of Fire!

As the banquet time approached, many dignitaries from Konoha and the Land of Fire arrived one by one.

among the crowd.

The current Hokage's three disciples stood alone to the side, somewhat conspicuous.

As seasoned addicts of gambling, prostitution, and drugs, they naturally couldn't associate with these well-dressed politicians.

"Orochimaru, what have you been up to lately?"

Jiraiya patted his companion on the shoulder: "How come I didn't even see you at the third round of the Chunin Exams? Let me tell you, you missed quite a few good shows!"

"Is that so?"

Orochimaru chuckled hoarsely, "Although I missed the final round of the competition, I feel I've gained quite a bit these past few days!"

A slight smile played on his lips, his genuine joy impossible to conceal.

"Is Orochimaru in a good mood?"

Jiraiya thought to himself: Could it be—that I've fallen in love?

Beside the two was Tsunade, wearing slippers and jeans, yawning incessantly.

A few golden tufts of hair stood up on her head, clearly indicating that she had just woken up.

"What do you think about me using shadow clones to attend the banquet?"

Tsunade paused for a moment, then her eyes darted around. "After all, I still need to go back to the shrine later to celebrate Kushina's promotion to Chunin with Grandma. It wouldn't be good to go back late, would it?"

Jiraiya sighed and muttered, "Hey, I think you want to drink double the amount, right?"

"Do you think the old man and Hanzo wouldn't be able to see through your shadow clone?"

Orochimaru reassured him, "Just bear with it, it'll only be over in an hour or two at most."

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from the distant street.

A moment later, the Daimyo and Hokage, each holding a fan, stepped down from the carriage, while the Kazekage and Amekage, the hosts of the banquet, came out to greet them.

The four of them gathered together and exchanged pleasantries with smiles on their faces.

He was surrounded by ministers from the Land of Fire, high-ranking officials from Konoha, and the Shadow Guards.

"How hypocritical!"

Tsunade watched this scene from afar and couldn't help but remark, "They clearly want to kill each other—"

She believed that she could never smile at her enemy like that.

If the Raikage of Kumogakure dares to come.

She vowed to use explosive tags to blow the other party to smithereens on the spot!

"Therefore, a ninja can become Hokage, but a Hokage cannot simply be a ninja—" Orochimaru concluded leisurely.

Jiraiya looked at him with some confusion, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

But Orochimaru was too lazy to explain.

If Nawaki's death merely awakened his yearning for power and immortality.

The Wood Release experiment allowed him to see many things he hadn't understood before.

Orochimaru was also involved in the great battle at the Root base by the Naka River that day.

However, he neither made things too difficult for Ayane Amamiya nor helped Danzo. Instead, he chose to reap the benefits while the chaos continued, collecting relevant data, experimental instruments, and materials related to the Wood Release experiments.

When the Root base was destroyed by Danzo's sealing technique.

He was also the first to leave silently, completely unnoticed by Danzo and Sakumo Hatake.

Over the next ten days, he spent his time developing his own research base while simultaneously reviewing materials related to Wood Release.

Orochimaru discovered an interesting fact from this.

The Wood Release experiments did not begin at Root.

The first person to study Hashirama Senju's cells was actually his younger brother, Tobirama Senju!

And then came his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, after facing successive failures, both Hokage chose to seal away their experiments.

It wasn't until Danzo took over again that the experiments related to Wood Release entered a frenzied state of "no matter the casualties, as long as it succeeds."

"Teacher, oh teacher, is the reason you've been so slow to deal with Danzo because you feel a sense of sympathy, like a rabbit mourning the death of another?"

Orochimaru's gaze was subtle as he watched Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was beaming with smiles, in the distance.

Although he still wore a smile on his face, a different emotion had unconsciously arisen in his heart.

Naruto doesn't seem as sacred as I imagined!

After a series of polite exchanges among the bigwigs, the banquet officially began.

What is Ayane Amamiya doing?

She was cooking rice.

The girl, wearing a newly bought dark blue dress, was sitting in a corner of the hall with Ye Cang.

Neither of them was good at the kind of social gatherings involving drinking and socializing.

So I simply hid to the side and tried my best to show off!

Ayane Amamiya wielded her chopsticks with lightning speed, her sharp eyes specifically targeting the high-end ingredients on the plates.

Don't say it yet.

This Huafeng Restaurant truly lives up to its reputation as the number one restaurant in Konoha!

Hey!

It tastes so good!

Ye Cang, standing beside her, was stunned by her actions and couldn't help but question, "Hey, hey, hey, isn't your right arm bandaged? Why are you eating so fast?"

"Haven't you ever heard the saying?"

The girl coughed and said seriously, "Eat more, and you'll recover faster!"

Her right arm, which had fractured from several punches with Matt Day, couldn't exert much force.

However, after the bloodline attribute was upgraded to red, the soreness improved significantly.

After just half an afternoon, my arm was almost painless.

This made Ayane Amamiya realize even more deeply the super self-healing power of the "Uzumaki Bloodline," and the statement on the panel that "vitality has been greatly improved" was no exaggeration.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang was skeptical, feeling that something was amiss.

But she still obediently divided the food on her plate, saying, "Oh, I see—then you should eat more."

The other party's sincere actions made Ayane Amamiya feel a little guilty about her earlier behavior of teasing the fool.

Just as the girl was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Matthew leaving his seat out of the corner of her eye.

The other person leaned down and whispered something in the Kazekage's ear. Then the Third Kazekage nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing to his request.

What are they going to do?

Something's not right.

Ayane Amamiya immediately felt a jolt of alarm.

Tonight, the sky is overcast, a classic dark and stormy night, the perfect time for the Hidden Cloud Village to begin its kidnapping plan.

A young girl naturally has her own thoughts.

Originally, she didn't plan to do much; she just wanted to follow Kushina and ensure her safety.

In this way, he could repay the kindness of the other party who fought alongside him at the Root Base.

Moreover, there are the variables that come with it.

The current situation is actually quite different from the original plot.

With Mito's help, Kushina Uzumaki mastered the Adamantine Sealing Chains, greatly increasing her strength!

In the original story, it was Minato Namikaze who rescued her.

But right now, the "hero's" strength might not even be as great as the "beauty's" —

However, Matthew's unusual actions instantly awakened a long-buried murderous intent in her heart.

How dare you leave the Third Kazekage's side?

Do you think Konoha is safe?

In comparison, the matter of Yunyin could perhaps be put on hold for now.

Her gaze lowered, suppressing the murderous intent emanating from her eyes.

"I'm full, I'm going out for some fresh air."

Ayane Amamiya put down her chopsticks and whispered to Yekura beside her.

"Okay."

Yecang had no suspicions and simply happily took back her plate.

Hey, my favorite salmon is still here!

that's nice!

Watching Matthew leave the banquet hall.

Ayane Amamiya immediately got up and followed him out without making a sound.

Instead of going directly through the side door, she went around to the back of the restaurant and lightly leaped onto the roof, like a swift blending into the night.

Further away—further away—”

"Taking action now might be detected—"

The girl followed behind him, getting further and further away from the bustling restaurant behind them.

Under the dim moonlight, Matthew continued to change routes, being extremely cautious.

This direction—not the Te clan territory where Kuna is, nor the Hokage Building—

Where is he going?
