Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 151 Will Peace Based on Treaties Really Come?

"The Chunin Exams are over, and the peace treaty with Konoha has been signed and implemented—"

Inside the quiet room of Konoha Inn.

Ayane Amamiya and the other two sat quietly on the tatami mats, listening to Hanzo the Salamander's arrangements for the rest of the trip.

Hanzo's deep voice echoed in the room: "Now that everything is settled, my plan is that after we hand over some important data to Konoha tomorrow, we can officially set off to return to Amegakure."

This trip lasted nearly two months.

From Amegakure to Sunagakure and then to Konoha, he first met many powerful figures, including the Hokage, Kazekage, and Sakumo Hatake, and then witnessed the rising stars of various ninja villages.

Although it was a short time, everyone felt a sense of disorientation.

What a wonderful and long trip!

The only pity is that these important figures, concerned with their status and dignity, rarely take action.

Therefore, Ayane Amamiya was not able to witness the performance of the current top-tier ninja power!

"Chief, what other information do we need to hand over?" asked the Salamander God.

Hanzo slowly said, "It mainly consists of textbooks for various basic subjects. The specific list is already written in the peace treaty. You can check them according to the documents."

Upon hearing this...

The three ninjas exchanged glances, all feeling a bit itchy and curious.

They all had a certain understanding of the direction of the terms to be discussed in this meeting.

For example, Sunagakure only cares about money, and most of their demands are for substantial economic compensation.

Following Ayane Amamiya's earlier advice, Amegakure shifted its focus to some peripheral areas, such as trade rights with Konoha's vassal states, transactions of some major mineral resources, and basic academic knowledge.

However, the specific details are as follows.

Since only three ninja village kage were present on the day the peace treaty was finalized, no one knows anything about them.

Sanshoku Shinta was the first to lose his composure, leaning forward slightly.

He asked in a respectful yet cautious tone, "Chief, we've heard that Konoha is very resistant to the conditions proposed by Sunagakure—the peace talks are progressing very poorly, and we wonder what our side is doing—"

Hanzo understood what he meant.

He simply pulled a document out of his pocket and said bluntly, "Here, take a look for yourselves."

Of the three, Ayane Amamiya took the initiative and was the first to accept the thin document.

Behind this piece of paper, as light as a feather, lie the lives of thousands of ninjas from the Fire and Rain Kingdoms; every word is written in blood and every sentence is stained with tears.

"Fortunately, this time, the Land of Rain is not a country that has to pay reparations."

She felt a brief moment of relief, but then a stronger resolve arose within her: it must never be like that again!

Open the file.

The first thing that catches the eye is the compensation clause for a series of grains such as rice and wheat.

As a condition of the ceasefire, Konoha will supply Amegakure with 2.8 million tons of staple food free of charge, to be delivered within one year. Furthermore, Konoha will continue to sell 2.8 million tons of various grains to the Land of Rain at market price thereafter.

I won't look at anything else.

Just looking at this first clause, Ayane Amamiya felt that she had come out on top.

Although the technology in the ninja world is a bit strange, it has even developed electronic products such as computers and walkie-talkies.

However, looking at the ninja world as a whole, it is still basically still an agricultural society.

The necessity and stability of food supplies are self-evident.

However, she had some doubts and asked, "Is this kind of large-scale food trade something the Hokage can decide?"

"The decision-making power definitely rests with the Daimyo, but the Hokage is also half the master of the Land of Fire, so he can make some requests, right?"

Hanzo chuckled hoarsely and then revealed a small detail from the negotiations: "But to be honest, the process of negotiating the specific amount of grain was actually much easier than I had imagined."

The guards all looked puzzled.

Shinda touched his bald head and asked in confusion, "Why? Is it because of our good attitude?"

""

Overall, this peace treaty was not a unilateral expense by Konoha.

At least Rain Village also costs money, so it can be considered a balance of income and expenditure.

This kind of reciprocal trade clause is very different in nature from the "bully-style extortion" clause of Sunagakure.

"That might be one of the reasons—"

Hanzo poured himself a cup of hot tea and said leisurely, "But I think the reason why the food terms were implemented so quickly is partly due to the Fire Daimyo's personal overtures."

He gave the girl across the tea table a deep look, and said nothing more.

The friendly attitude shown by the Fire Daimyo was not something that happened overnight, but rather a gradual process.

Before the final day of the Chunin Exams, they reached an unprecedented level, as if they had become Hanzo's half-brother.

Undoubtedly, this is inextricably linked to Ayane Amamiya's performance in the Chunin Exams.

Is this an investment in future leaders?

Hanzo pondered silently: "Considering the previous invitation to the Twelve Guardian Ninja, this is probably what they meant too, right?"

The daimyo's investment was not based on his optimism about the future of the Land of Rain.

It was a one-sided gesture of goodwill towards Ayane Amamiya, the "demigod of the future ninja world" with boundless potential.

These two should not be confused.

Just like the former Fire Daimyo, who never feared the powerful Konoha, but feared the legendary Asura of the Shinobi World, Uchiha Madara.

A super-powerful fighter who can influence the overall situation of the ninja world is naturally worth investing in.

However, despite saying that, Hanzo wasn't particularly happy.

He didn't understand before, and thought that being "a demigod of the ninja world jointly certified by the five great ninja villages" was a recognition of his strength by the world.

But it wasn't until he bestowed the name "Sannin" upon himself that the Land of Rain was defeated again.

Only then did he realize the humiliation he had suffered.

"Demigod isn't a good title. A demigod trampled underfoot, is he still a god?"

Through the rising steam from his teacup, he gazed at the indistinct face of the young girl, silently thinking: "I hope you can forge a path different from mine."

Ayane Amamiya flipped through the treaty in the alliance document again and continued reading.

Following the food provisions was the handover of some mineral resources, which roughly defined the ownership of several disputed mineral veins near the border.

Although this document was equally important, it was not extensive, so she skimmed through it.

The treaty concludes with a section on support for educational resources.

It's kind of funny, but the ninja world doesn't have a system for international students, so if Amegakure wants to develop significantly, even its textbooks have to be imported.

Of course, there's nothing shameful about it.

After all, looking back several decades, the other four great ninja villages also imported a significant amount of content from Konoha.

Yu Yin was just a few decades behind in starting out.

"This is the part you'll be handing over tomorrow."

Hanzo cautioned, "Although it's unlikely that Konoha would fabricate anything, you still need to be careful. They won't offer any support if something goes wrong!"

The three nodded repeatedly and replied in a deep voice.

They left the quiet room.

After thinking for a moment, Ayane Amamiya did not go back to her room to rest, but instead went to the rooftop of the inn.

as predicted.

On the edge of the rooftop, she saw a familiar, beautiful back.

Yecang's back is smooth and white, with distinct concave lines and a beautiful curve. Moreover, her body is well-proportioned and not uncomfortable to the touch.

to be frank.

Every time she handled it, the wonderful tactile sensation made Ayane Amamiya linger, feeling like the black bear spirit in Journey to the West who stole the cassock—

Unfortunately, Yekura always kept a tight grip on things and resolutely refused to give him any chance.

She sat down next to him, and just as she was about to speak, she caught a pungent smell of alcohol.

"What happened to the three forbidden ninja rules?"

Ayane Amamiya brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and said softly, "I remember, you're not an adult yet, are you?"

"Just a few more months left."

Ye Cang didn't seem to care, took another big gulp of wine, and then said, "Would you like a sip too?"

"don't want."

Ayane Amamiya shook her head and declined, sharing her little secret: "I only like to drink plain water, and if it's before bed, it's best to add a little honey."

"Tch, that's boring, you're such a coward!"

Ye Cang gave a soft snort, deliberately holding the wine bottle up to her nose and gently shaking it.

of course.

If Ayane Amamiya really agreed, she wouldn't give it to her.

Ayane Amamiya ignored her actions and simply said softly, "Why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping? Are you drowning your sorrows in alcohol?"

Yekura remained silent for a long time.

He suddenly countered with a question: "Tell me, is the peace stipulated in the treaty truly peace? Will this peace ever come?"

The girl was stunned.

Is this the kind of question Yekura would ask?

It's like when Pigsy was reincarnated, he didn't think about Chang'e and Miss Gao, but instead, like Tang Sanzang, he became concerned about the suffering of the human world.

Why did you suddenly think this way?

She snatched the bottle from the other person's hand and, with a slight effort, threw it far away.

Yekura did not resist.

She stared blankly at the dark night sky for a while, then whispered, "Konoha didn't wrong us. It was Matthew and the Kazekage who broke the agreement first and attacked Konoha's ninjas."

Ayane Amamiya remained silent.

Then she rested her chin on her hands and said slowly, "Of course I know that the ninja world cannot remain peaceful forever."

"6

But I had assumed that after this treaty was signed…

"At least a temporary peace will be achieved."

"But I never expected it would be us—"

After the effects of the alcohol kicked in, he stopped talking.

Her face was rosy, and her fair back also glowed with a rosy luster, making her look like a beautiful woman made of red jade.

The delicate fragrance on the clothes mingled with the spicy smell of alcohol, creating a very intoxicating aroma.

After spending several days together, Ayane Amamiya had long since come to know Yokura's naiveté.

But I never expected that this guy would be bothered by this.

Has the naivety of the past been shattered by the reality of the present?

The girl said softly, "Peace is something too far away for us right now."

She advised, "Instead of thinking about these unattainable things, you should first improve yourself and try your best to protect yourself and the people around you."

Ayane Amamiya certainly has ambitions too.

Especially after awakening something like the panel.

The future of sweeping across the world, pacifying the universe, and achieving universal harmony—all of these scenarios had played out in her mind.

But through repeated ruthless killings, Ayane Amamiya abandoned many of her originally unrealistic fantasies.

"Therefore, I don't think there's anything wrong with assassinating a Konoha ninja."

The girl looked directly into Yekura's eyes, her tone cold and cruel: "If I had to pinpoint where I went wrong, it would be that you're not strong enough. It's because you're too weak that the Kazekage has to do something like this."

This is also based on her own experience.

If I had been strong enough back in Iwagakure, I might not have had to take such a risky move and could have simply taken the tanuki away openly.

Alcohol is making me dizzy.

Yekura stumbled into her arms in a daze, not knowing whether she had heard what Ayane Amamiya said.

"If one day, the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind, you and I, meet on the battlefield as soldiers—"

Her eyes were half-closed, as if she were muttering, or perhaps pleading, "What will you do?"

Ayane Amamiya held her in her arms, remaining silent for a long time before finally saying calmly, "I will kill you."

"But that day will never come." She added the second half of the sentence in her mind, without saying it aloud.

Ye Cang smiled.

She said in a dreamy, muffled voice, "I'm sorry—me too."
