Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 162 Fierce Battle with the Jinchūriki 1

Clang!

With a loud crash, the doors of the Buddhist temple were violently kicked open!

After receiving news of Lao Zi's whereabouts, Huang Tu rushed all the way and finally arrived at Shirakawa-ji after dawn.

but----

He was still a step too late!

Buzz!

A strange fluctuation spread out from inside the hall.

Ayane Amamiya caught a whiff of the scent and wrinkled her nose.

The girl quickly looked towards Lao Zi's retreating figure.

An aura of intense anxiety and domineering power was bursting forth from him, completely impossible to conceal!

The aura was like magma, or lava, with a pungent sulfurous smell amidst the heat, as if one were facing an active volcano!

This is----

The aura of a tailed beast!

Having witnessed the Nine-Tailed Fox in the past, she made this judgment instantly.

"not good!"

As a native of Iwagakure, Huang Tu was more familiar with the Four-Tails' aura than she was.

The situation was now crystal clear, and there was no need to ask anything further.

The aura of the tailed beast emanating from Lao Zi was growing stronger, clearly a sign that the seal was about to completely collapse!

Earth Release: Mountain Excavation!

The floor tiles are cracked.

The soil mixed with chakra formed a solid earthen wall that rose rapidly from beneath their feet.

Without saying a word, Huang Tu chose to unleash his ninjutsu first, intending to control Lao Zi before stabilizing the tailed beast seal.

but.

In the blink of an eye, his attack was nullified.

A crimson tail appeared behind Lao Zi, and with a gentle flick, it completely destroyed Huang Tu's ninjutsu.

"It's you, Huangtu."

Old Purple remained facing the Buddha statue, not turning his head, his voice deep yet without hostility: "How did you find this place? Where's Onoki?"

"Old Purple!"

Huang Tu roared, "How dare you address Lord Tsuchikage by his name so casually?"

But he also knew that this was not the time to concern himself with such trivial details.

He then hurriedly instructed, "You must quickly suppress the tailed beast, and don't lose your mind. I'll help you stabilize the seal!"

But Lao Zi shook his head slightly: "Huang Tu, don't say anymore. I broke this seal on my own initiative. I was going to release it today anyway."

"What did you say?"

The loess soil was visibly bewildered.

In the short span of those few words, a second crimson tail grew out of Lao Zi's back.

"Stop acting crazy here! Come back to the village with me!"

Huang Tu couldn't understand what nonsense Lao Zi was spouting, but he knew that he didn't have much time left.

He quickly formed hand seals.

Suddenly, three cone-shaped rock spikes rose from the ground, forming a triangular shape as they strangled Lao Zi!

"That's exactly what I wanted to say too—"

"Hey, get out of my way!"

Old Zi's voice suddenly rose: "I will return to the village, but definitely not in this way!"

His tails suddenly swelled up, like two steel whips, protecting him on the left and right, and sweeping away all of Huang Tu's attacks.

Come and don't go indecent.

This time, instead of standing there and taking the beating, he chose to fight back.

Lava Release: Flowing Fire Technique!

Old Purple's two tails slapped hard, instantly creating a large amount of flowing lava on the ground, which surged towards the loess.

Ayane Amamiya glanced at the yellow earth, where the opponent was using Earth Flow Wall to defend.

Instead of going over to help, she darted forward!

From the moment she entered, Ayane Amamiya noticed the old monk in robes sitting at the foot of the Buddha statue opposite her.

Mifune said that Shirakawa-dera possessed sealing techniques.

The fact that Lao Zi is in this state is most likely the work of the other party.

The girl's target was him.

Ayane Amamiya lowered her body slightly, and then her figure suddenly blurred!

The next moment, Ayane Amamiya was already close to Rōshi's side like a ghost!

Iaijutsu!

The techniques I just learned from Mifune are now coming in handy.

Without hesitation, she twisted her waist and slashed, swinging her Storm Slash, aiming straight at the tail on Old Purple's right that hadn't had time to defend!

puff!

A single cut into the body is like a hot knife slicing through butter.

It was clearly an illusory tail formed from chakra, but at this moment it was as solid as a physical object, cut in half by a ninja sword!

"Ugh!"

Old Zi let out a roar of pain.

He was careless and didn't dodge.

Because he never expected that the opponent's swordsmanship would be so terrifying, capable of even cutting through chakra, an intangible and immeasurable substance!

Is that correct?

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity.

Ayane Amamiya did a somersault, leaping over Old Purple and reaching out her arm. She then grabbed the white-browed old monk by the collar and, with a sudden burst of strength, threw him away.

Before coming here, he boasted that he could handle Lao Zi's yellow earth all by himself, but now he's not being so stubborn anymore.

He instinctively caught it.

"You strange little brat—"

Old Purple was furious upon seeing this: "You're clearly not a ninja from the village, so what are you doing causing trouble?!"

Enraged, he lunged at the girl.

In fact, at this moment, the seal on the four tails inside Lao Zi's body had been almost completely broken, leaving only the last threshold.

However, without the old monk's help, the time required to cross this threshold has increased significantly.

To use a vivid analogy, whenever the download progress bar reaches the last 1%, it always feels like time is moving incredibly slowly.

Facing the old purple that had transformed into a red lightning bolt and pounced on him.

Ayane Amamiya's eyes sharpened, and in a flash, she appeared on the shoulder of the giant Buddha behind her. Her hands moved rapidly in front of her chest, forming hand seals so fast that they left afterimages.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

boom!

Inside the Buddhist temple, the sound of surging waves suddenly arose.

The surging water gathered before the girl's lips, instantly forming a ferocious, roaring giant water dragon. With an overwhelming momentum that could crush everything, it collided violently with the oncoming Lao Zi!

*Sizzle!*

The collision between the water dragon and the crimson figure produced a piercing hissing sound of vaporization!

The extreme collision of water and fire produced a massive amount of white steam that instantly filled the entire space, blurring the view.

The massive shock wave spread out in a ring shape.

The remaining tables, chairs, and prayer flags inside the temple were instantly torn to pieces, and even the heavy Buddha statue shook violently, with cracks appearing on its surface!

"Molten Core: Granite!"

A deep, frantic roar came from the steam.

The next moment, countless rocks carrying scorching magma pierced through the steam curtain like a meteor shower, bombarding the location of Ayane Amamiya!

Each rock carries a temperature high enough to melt steel.

The rumbling sound was incessant at that moment.

The golden Buddha was instantly deformed by the rocks, its surface turning charred black. The nearby beams and pillars fared even worse, some of them being hit head-on by the rocks and breaking in two on the spot!

The old abbot of Shirakawa-ji Temple, who had just been thrown out, felt dizzy and disoriented.

He shook his head with great difficulty, and then saw what was happening in front of him clearly—

"If you want to fight, go outside and fight!"

Amidst the firelight and steam, the old monk's anxious voice trembled with tears: "Every brick and tile on this Buddha statue was painstakingly donated by this old monk!"

Huang Tu grabbed him and demanded, "Speak quickly! What exactly is Lao Zi trying to do? Why did he willingly break the seal?!"

But his questioning was drowned out by an even louder roar.

Water Release: Water Pillar!

Ayane Amamiya clapped her hands together.

Several giant water columns, each requiring several people to encircle, replaced the original wooden beams and pillars, shooting skyward from the ground beneath her!

These water columns not only precisely intercepted most of the lava rocks, but also intertwined from all directions, turning into a huge water prison that kept closing in and squeezing Lao Zi!

Although the appearance is similar, Ayane Amamiya would naturally not admit that this move was imitating Hiruzen Sarutobi's Vajra Barrier.

"A trivial skill!"

Old Purple roared, and a third tail that had appeared out of nowhere spun and danced wildly like a windmill.

He took a deep breath, his chest bulged, and his crimson chakra became highly concentrated.

"Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!"

One, two, three —

He spewed out ten enormous lava fireballs, each over a meter in diameter, like miniature suns!

This is a ninjutsu with power comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu; in the original work, even Samehada's greatsword was burning hot.

The sulfurous smell emanating from it was particularly pungent, even forcing Ayane Amamiya to squint her eyes slightly to reduce the discomfort.

This old man's tone seems a bit harsh!

These lava fireballs tore a gap in the closing water prison, but Ayane Amamiya remained calm in the face of danger.

The girl clasped her hands together, and the chakra within her surged at an unprecedented speed.

"Water Release: Water Horn Technique!"

Ayane Amamiya suddenly sprayed water downwards, using the reaction force to forcibly move sideways in the air.

The trickle of water burst forth as soon as it left its mouth, then expanded wildly in the air, forming a huge, funnel-shaped wall of water that shielded the girl like a shield.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lava fireballs crashed against the water wall one after another, unleashing a series of violent explosions!

Flames, water, magma, steam —

They intertwine and clash wildly here.

The entire Buddhist temple seemed to have become a giant oven, like the infernal hell left for sinners in mythology!

Loess is mortal to the naked eye.

Looking at the white mist surrounding them, not only could a slender girl like Ayane Amamiya not see clearly, but even the three-tailed Old Purple couldn't see it at all.

Just then, another rumbling sound came from overhead.

The cracks on the surrounding beams and pillars spread rapidly like a spider web, and the entire hall was on the verge of collapse!

Seeing that things were not going well, Huang Tu quickly pulled the old monk back and prepared to leave the hall.

"Lord Amamiya!"

He didn't forget to shout, "Get out of here! This place is going to collapse!"

But the only response to the yellow earth was Old Zi's beast-like roar: "Is that all? I'm not finished yet! Little girl!"

Deep within the white steam.

With Lao Zi supporting himself on the ground, the entire floor of the Buddhist temple instantly transformed into a churning, crimson sea of ​​lava centered on him!

Lava Release: Flower Fruit Mountain!

At this moment, the tailed beast cloak around his body became more solid, and the phantom of the fourth tail began to appear faintly.

Rōzō stood on the boundless sea of ​​lava, his entire body as red as fire. At this moment, he looked more like a tailed beast than a human!

Faced with this scene that resembled a natural disaster, the girl took a deep breath.

Ayane Amamiya really had a blast!

Since her Uzumaki bloodline was upgraded, her chakra seemed inexhaustible, and she could vaguely feel it increasing every time she ate or slept.

Even she herself doesn't know the limit of her chakra now.

Even after unleashing such large-scale ninjutsu in succession, Ayane Amamiya remained completely unburdened, and even felt a faint sense of relief—

Not enough fun!

"Since that's the case—"

Ayane Amamiya formed hand seals again, her amber eyes gleaming: "Let me show you my full power now!"

Water Release·Big Explosive Water Wave!

This is currently the most spectacular water-style ninjutsu in the ninja world. In the original work, even the tailless tailed beast Kisame needed Samehada to help him activate it.

At this moment, Ayane Amamiya simply formed three hand seals!

Shen, Xu, You!

Procedure complete!

Rumble—!

Like a river bursting its banks, or a tsunami descending!

An unimaginable, massive flow of water appeared out of nowhere, no longer just a water dragon or a few water columns, but a real, overwhelming torrent!

As if the Milky Way had been unleashed and the Milky Way had been reversed, the surging waves crashed head-on into the churning sea of ​​lava with overwhelming force!

This collision is far greater than any before!

The white steam, almost tangible, shot into the sky, instantly destroying the already crumbling roof and walls of the Buddhist temple!

The golden Buddha fell to the ground. The once majestic statue was now as powerless as a piece of duckweed, drifting aimlessly with the ocean current.

The vast flow of water overflowed.

The area within a radius of more than ten miles had now been completely transformed into a vast expanse of water.

The squirrel, which was sleeping soundly in the tree, suddenly had an unprecedented diving experience!

The power of this level of floodwaters far exceeds that of flash floods and mudslides, causing the entire mountain where Shirakawa-dera Temple is located to shake violently!

The loess soil, which had retreated early and barely managed to form an earthen wall to protect itself, couldn't even get close.

He could only stare dumbfounded at the terrifying scene that resembled a clash between gods and demons, his heart filled with shock.

A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into Huang Tu's mind: "What the hell is going on? Who is the Tailed Beast? Who is the Jinchuriki?!"
