Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

The battle between the woodpecker and the Konoha special jonin looked rather unremarkable.

Both of them were ninjas whose specialty was physical combat.

In this battle, large-scale, elaborate ninjutsu are rarely used; instead, auxiliary ninjutsu such as clone techniques and body-flicker techniques are mostly employed.

Or rather, this is the norm for most ninjas in battle.

Ayane Amamiya seized the opportunity, brandished her ninja sword, and swiftly cut into the battlefield between the two.

With her help, the battlefield situation showed signs of collapse almost instantly, and the balance tilted wildly toward Amegakure.

Nomura was filled with resentment.

To increase his chances of survival in this operation, he specifically chose several Chunin from ninja clans to be his teammates.

But who knew these few good-for-nothings...

He died so quickly!

If these guys weren't absolutely dead, he would have suspected that these ninja clan members were all in cahoots to play him!

"etc!"

During a break in their exchange, Nomura shouted, indicating that he had something to say.

However, the two secret agents on the other side remained silent, as if they were deaf, and only continued to attack.

"etc!"

"I have intelligence here regarding this surprise attack!"

Left with no other choice, he spoke up again, revealing shocking information in an attempt to find a glimmer of hope.

The price for saying those words was that the woodpecker seized the opportunity to breathe, and cut a deep gash in his arm.

"What are you trying to say?"

Ayane Amamiya said coldly, "I don't think a particularly high-ranking ninja could know any important military intelligence."

While speaking.

She swung her Storm Slash again, taking advantage of her opponent's distraction to launch an extremely insidious attack.

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning.

Nomura narrowly dodged the attack, and as the cold glint of the blade grazed his neck, he felt so terrified he almost peed himself...

The older people get, the more afraid they are of dying.

This is especially true for ninjas who live on the edge of a knife.

Nomura has shed so much blood and exerted so much effort for Konoha over the decades.

He really, really, really didn't want to die!

Upon hearing this, he quickly explained, "I was in the same class as the third generation! And the village advisor... they were all my classmates back then!"

Since that's what this guy said...

Ayane Amamiya couldn't help but glance at the other person a few more times.

After sizing him up, he was indeed an old man in his forties.

Judging from age alone, he does match Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The girl's ninja sword slowed down slightly.

They absolutely must be killed.

Even if Hashirama Senju came, he couldn't stop it!

But for now, let's listen to what this guy has to say.

The woodpecker swiftly blocked the opponent's escape route, while asking suspiciously, "Wasn't the Third Hokage a disciple of the Second Hokage? How come he's your classmate?"

"You're right..."

Nomura took the opportunity to wipe the sweat from his brow: "Although the Third Hokage was taken in as a disciple by Lord Tobirama before enrolling, he did attend school for two years initially!"

"As for Elder Mitomon, Elder Utatane, and the Third Hokage's wife, Biwako..."

"They all completed six years of schooling and attended graduation ceremonies!"

Nomura exclaimed, "Back in the Ninja Academy, I even went fishing with Elder Mitomon by the Naka River and shared lunchboxes with Lake Biwa! We were very close friends back then!"

Ayane Amamiya clicked her tongue inwardly.

Regardless of whether the other party's words contained exaggeration.

She thought to herself, "So, during the Second Hokage's time, the Ninja Academy was a six-year program?"

I originally thought that the "six-year graduation" system in Naruto's era was a reform that Hiruzen Sarutobi made after suffering heavy student casualties in World War II and World War III.

Unexpectedly...

After all that fuss, it turns out they're just restoring the ancestral methods!

"Enough talk, get the intelligence!"

Ayane Amamiya pinched an explosive tag between her fingers, her tone extremely impatient: "I don't have time to hear your little stories about the Third Hokage's wife!"

The eagles behind them were greatly disappointed upon hearing this.

"You wretched swan, if you don't want to hear it, I want to hear it more!"

She muttered to herself.

But then, the eagle remembered the female ninja who had just died tragically in front of him, and instantly understood the swan's feelings.

"Ayane Amamiya..."

"What?! I never expected that such a violent creature like the swan would have such a gentle real name..."

She's a sensory ninja!

Even if his combat skills are a bit weak and he doesn't fit in with his two teammates, his hearing is absolutely top-notch!

Seeing Ayane Amamiya's threat, Nomura meekly replied, "Yes, yes, I'll give you the information right away."

Under the wary gazes of the others, he threw down the ninja tools in his hand and reached into his robes to rummage around.

A moment later, a slip of paper was pulled out from inside.

"This is the order I received from Commander-in-Chief Orochimaru before the operation..."

Nomura gave a fawning smile and was about to hand over the note in his hand.

But Ayane Amamiya didn't mince words and directly swung her hand, shooting out a kunai.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

Nomura quickly withdrew his hand.

The kunai flew from his fingertips, carrying the note, and was stuck into the ground.

The woodpecker then carefully picked it up.

The text on the note was very brief; it could be read at a glance.

He read aloud the contents: "Gentlemen, please remember that this surprise attack will be primarily guerrilla warfare, with the objective of eliminating the main reconnaissance force on the outskirts of Amegakure and disrupting the enemy's positions. Once you receive the retreat signal, there is no need to leave the Land of Rain. Meet me directly at Aonani Town, at the foot of Mount Hakuroku."

The eagle was furious upon hearing this.

Forgetting about hiding behind, she jumped out and rebuked, "So, you're trying to lure us in and then wipe us all out?"

Nomura looked embarrassed and quickly shook his head, "No, no! I would never have such thoughts!"

Ayane Amamiya tugged at her arm, signaling her not to get agitated.

In a rush.

Given that the other party wouldn't have had time to fabricate evidence, the contents of the note are unlikely to be false.

She thought about it carefully for a moment, and then a thought struck her—a possibility suddenly came to mind.

The girl looked up and questioned, "You mean, Konoha is going to launch a counterattack on the Land of Rain?"

The logic here is not complicated.

You should know that this was before today.

Both Amegakure and Konoha deployed their troops around the "Fire Rain Border"—the An'gaku River.

Now, Konoha has not only taken the initiative to attack, but has even set the rendezvous point after the operation within the borders of the Land of Rain...

The ambition behind this is blatantly obvious!

"Now that you've developed the antidote, do you think Amegakure is no longer a threat and is already yours for the taking?"

Ayane Amamiya hesitated for a moment, her emotions a complex mix of feelings: 'The arrogance of this major ninja village is truly blatant...'
