Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 209 Madara's Observation of the Power of Dust Release (5K)

On a tree branch twenty miles away from the village.

With a pale face, Kato severed the connection to the Spirit Transformation Technique.

He quickly regained his senses, rose from the dense foliage disguise, and fled swiftly into the distance.

The return of the spirit brought him both the memories of the fight and an ominous premonition.

"To be able to unleash ninjutsu of this scale at such a young age—"

I must bring this intelligence back!

If this person isn't eliminated, he will definitely become a major threat to the village in the future, perhaps even surpassing Hanzo the Salamander in power!

In direct physical combat, the opponent is almost as good as Tsunade!

His soul was incredibly powerful, rendering his spiritualization techniques almost ineffective.

Now, they can still unleash ninjutsu on this scale—

What's the difference between this and a hexagonal warrior?

If I hadn't used my spiritualization technique to control the civilians and launch a sneak attack, the battle would probably have ended long ago.

Kato Dan found it increasingly terrifying the more he thought about it.

As a sense of frustration arose in my heart, I also unconsciously developed a bit more fear of Ayane Amamiya.

The rainstorm intensified.

A torrential curtain of water poured down on him, leaving him nowhere to hide as he struggled through the forest.

Kato's eyes turned cold.

He didn't really understand what the purpose of the rainwater was.

But the opponent must have mobilized such a large amount of chakra and launched such a magnificent technique. Surely they weren't trying to create artificial rain?

I pondered it for a moment.

The cautious Kato Dan immediately activated his ninjutsu, burrowing underground and choosing to continue his journey using the Earth Submarine Technique!

In this situation, it should be enough to keep out most of the rainwater, so there shouldn't be any problem.

He muttered something to himself.

But a sense of humiliation suddenly arose in my mind.

I am Kato Dan.

A Jonin of Konoha, a strong contender for the next Hokage, and a rising star of the Land of Fire —

It turns out that what Ayane Amamiya just said is indeed true.

It was frantically fleeing, looking like a rat!

This humiliation burned away at his reason like a flame. Kato Dan gritted his teeth: This utter disgrace will be avenged one day!

On the other side of the land of rivers.

Madara Uchiha, who had just returned from Kirigakure and was preparing to go back to his hometown, happened to witness Ayane Amamiya displaying her incredible power.

He was old and his temples were gray, and his face was full of wrinkles.

But his back remained straight, and his pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes stared intently at the distant sky.

"Madara-sama————"

Upon witnessing this scene, White Zetsu trembled, saying, "Please don't ever send me to spy on her again. I haven't even experienced the joy of taking a dump yet, and I don't want to die so soon."

This White Zetsu named Afei has the most unique appearance among all White Zetsu clones, with a vortex-shaped body.

However, because he always likes to ask nonsensical questions, he is disliked by the haters.

As Madara Uchiha grew older, he took him in with him and they would talk occasionally.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Ban gave a light reprimand and continued gazing at the distant sky.

In fact, even with the power of a normal three-tomoe Sharingan, it would not be enough to support such a long distance.

But freckles are different.

Even though the Rinnegan was transplanted to Nagato, because of his own foundation, his three-tomoe eyes were on a completely different level from those of ordinary Uchiha.

This kid is growing up so fast!

Madara Uchiha murmured to himself.

Because of Nagato, the other party had entered his field of vision very early on.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to her, and even thought about actively cultivating the bond between her and Nagato, and in the future, he would use Ayane Amamiya as one of the targets to induce Nagato to turn evil and fall.

It wasn't until the battle on Misty Island.

Madara vaguely sensed that the opponent's strength was somewhat excessive and might hinder his plans.

And today.

After witnessing this super ninja technique that covered the border between the two countries.

Madara was absolutely certain that his opponent's current strength was enough to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world and have a huge impact on his plans!

No! It seems I have to find a way to restrict her.

Or perhaps, we should put Project Eye of the Moon on the agenda as soon as possible.

The old man closed his eyes, silently pondering a solution.

He was actually quite satisfied with Kushina Uzumaki. This fiery girl possessed immense strength and unwavering resolve, and under his guidance and nurturing, she was poised to unleash a potential that would astound everyone.

But unfortunately—

I encountered another unreasonable freak!

Compared to Ayane Amamiya, all the other young ninjas inevitably pale in comparison and appear less outstanding.

If the other party is directly chosen as the successor to the Eye of the Moon Project —

At one point, a sudden thought flashed through Ban's mind: "Turn enemies into friends."

But he quickly rejected that option.

Firstly.

The opponent is already very strong. If he receives my guidance and learns Yin-Yang Escape, wouldn't he be unstoppable in the future?

Secondly.

Madara believed that the opponent must have a strong sense of ninja way to possess his current strength!

It was truly difficult for him to guide a ninja who had already found his own path and to get him to genuinely accept his "Infinite Tsukuyomi" plan.

So, in the end...

We still need to train Kushina Uzumaki, or find a substitute with enough potential from the Uchiha clan.

"Madara-sama."

"Are you considering how to help Kushina Uzumaki improve her strength?"

As Madara meditated, his feet twitched, and Black Zetsu emerged from the ground, chuckling, "Or perhaps, he's preparing to personally eliminate this variable?"

Black Zetsu is practically Madara's mind reader, knowing his thoughts inside and out.

Madara Uchiha, however, did not take it seriously.

Since it is absolutely a manifestation of one's own will, then knowing one's own thoughts is perfectly normal.

"There's no need for that."

"Although she is excellent, and her strength is enough to dominate the current ninja world—"

Madara Uchiha sighed with a mixture of arrogance and regret, "But in the end, he's just an ordinary mortal who wasn't born in the era of me and Hashirama. How could he be worthy of my intervention, of bullying the weak with the strong?"

Black Zetsu's lips twitched.

He thought to himself, "When you were fifteen, you hadn't even opened your eyes yet."

Can you defeat this female ninja named Amamiya?

I'm afraid the other person could pin you to the ground and beat you with just one hand.

"As for how to limit this variable, I already have some ideas."

Madara Uchiha, however, didn't think he was showing off, and calmly asked, "On the other hand, what's the situation with Kushina in the Land of Grass?"

Black Zetsu replied, "Lady Kushina has obtained the Box of Elysium and is heading to the Mountain Graveyard as you requested."

"but----"

He paused, then said awkwardly, "She also brought back a woman from Kusagakure along the way, a woman with red hair just like Amamiya—"

Madara Uchiha was speechless for a moment.

Black Zetsu remained silent.

They were both silent.

Suddenly, Ah Fei shouted, "Wow! What's that?"

Upon hearing the sound, the two of them looked up at the same time.

A dazzling pillar of light descended from the clouds, creating a magnificent spectacle.

"Dust Release Bloodline Limit of Three Attributes —"

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, recognizing the thing: "Did she figure it out herself?"

"It should be."

Black Zetsu said softly, "After all, no matter how you look at it, there's no need for Onoki to teach her Dust Release."

"I take back what I just said."

Madara Uchiha remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Among the new generation of ninjas after me and Hashirama, I would call her the most talented!"

But after saying that, Madara sighed, "However—without the bloodline of the Senju and Uchiha, no matter how exceptionally talented she is, she can never reach the pinnacle of the ninja world!"

Black Zetsu nodded in agreement.

Over the millennia, he has seen far too many gifted individuals, yet he has remained unmoved and never placed his bets on them.

Because Black Zetsu knew.

Only Indra and Asura can reach the realm of the Six Realms!

only----

He had some doubts.

Why does the chakra escaping from the sky smell like my mother?

Hei Jue sniffed, utterly disbelieving.

But the scent vanished in an instant, and he assumed he was simply hallucinating from excessive longing.

A towering white beam of light descended, like a final ultimatum from the gods.

Dust Release is the strongest bloodline limit combination of wind, fire, and earth attributes.

In a world where the Seven Attributes Bloodline Limits and Truth-Seeking Balls have not yet appeared, Dust Release is arguably the most destructive ninjutsu in the chakra system, capable of dissolving everything!

Even during the Fourth Shinobi World War, when everyone's combat power soared, Dust Release still displayed remarkable performance!

same.

This was also Ayane Amamiya's last investment in the "ninjutsu system".

From now on, she will no longer invest any achievement points in bloodline limits, but will instead focus on improving herself in the areas of "Sage Arts" and "Bloodline".

However, these plans are all for later.

As the pillar of light from Dust Escape fell, the world suddenly fell silent.

The sounds of wind, rain, thunder, Tsunade's footsteps, and Dan Kato's heartbeat —

In the infinitely tranquil world, all sounds ceased to be heard, leaving only that incomparably pure pillar of dust-escape light, which fell from the sky like a rainbow.

Great sound!

Tsunade no longer has to worry about not being able to see the road ahead.

The dense rain curtain was blasted into a vacuum by the dust escape, illuminating both her path and the Rain Queen who stood in the void beneath the dark sky.

But Tsunade couldn't care less about that.

She ran forward with all her might.

At this moment, Tsunade wished she could transform into the already dead Minato Namikaze, activate the Flying Thunder God Technique, and teleport to Dan Kato's side.

But human resources are sometimes limited.

She relentlessly squeezed out all the chakra in her body, pushing her speed to the limit, but could only watch in despair as the white light continued its downward trajectory.

Tall trees fell, moist soil crumbled, and hard rocks split open —

Under the radiant light of the dust.

All the destruction seemed so quiet and beautiful.

Until a certain critical point —

boom!

The dense forest is visibly collapsing and disintegrating outward from a certain point!

The enormous impact spread outwards in a ring, and billowing dust and sand, mixed with rainwater, transformed into a flash flood that dispersed in all directions.

Just a moment later.

In the forest on the border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Water, a huge basin with a radius of nearly ten miles suddenly appeared!

Rainwater from all directions converged.

It's easy to foresee that this place will evolve into a terrestrial lake located in the forest!

Contemporary Tsuchikage: Two Libras - Ohnoki.

His skill in Dust Release might not be weaker than Ayane Amamiya's.

However, he certainly didn't have the same amount of chakra as the girl, so the Dust Release he used was far less destructive than hers.

Decades later, Pain, the Path of Heaven, is seen carrying rice.

The "Super Shinra Tensei" he used was also very destructive, enough to level Konoha.

However, Shinra Tensei is a manifestation of manipulating repulsive force, with a wide attack range, but it is far less powerful than Dust Release, which focuses on a single point!

After witnessing this scene that resembled divine punishment.

Tsunade collapsed to her knees with a thud, filled with despair.

She let the sand and rain lash her face, her lips trembling as she murmured, "Break—"

Despite the dust escape technique, Kato Dan was still alive.

But it will happen soon.

Even though he had gone dozens of meters underground, he still couldn't escape the attack of the dust escape technique!

The man's body from the thigh down was completely annihilated into nothingness by the Dust Release. The wound was scorched black by the light and heat of the Dust Release, and even blood could not flow out!

Even so.

He had not lost his will and continued to wriggle laboriously with the help of his arms.

The reason he wasn't dead was not because Kato Dan unleashed his power and created some kind of last-minute breakthrough, but because something unexpected saved his life during Dust Release.

It was a necklace hanging around the neck.

This necklace is a relic of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

In essence, it is a crystallized chakra left behind by Hashirama Senju, containing the power of this god of ninja.

The First Hokage gifted it to his favorite granddaughter, Tsunade, who then gifted it to her younger brother, Nawaki, and her boyfriend, Dan Kato.

The chakra within this necklace is extremely difficult to activate.

For example, the rope tree that once wore it never played any role until its death.

In the original story, it wasn't until decades later, when Yamato reawakened his Wood Release, that he was able to barely exert the effect of the necklace and suppress the Nine-Tails.

However, Ayane Amamiya's chakra is very pure.

According to the description of the [Vortex Bloodline] on the panel, she is now only one step away from the complete [Immortal Body].

It is this extremely pure chakra.

Instead, at this moment, the power of Hashirama Senju within the necklace crystal was awakened, becoming Kato Dan's lifeline!

In the mud.

Kato gripped two sharp stones in his hands, stabbed them into the ground, and used them as paddles to move.

Because of the dust escape technique, the terrain here is relatively low.

Rainwater was converging from all directions, and if he couldn't climb out quickly, he would die in this brand-new artificial lake.

Suddenly, the space in front of me rippled.

Ayane Amamiya emerged from the endless rain, and countless water droplets materialized into the girl's body.

The girl came to him, bent down and half-squatted, and quietly looked at him.

Kato Dan, however, was completely unaware of this.

On his deathbed, all that remained in his heart was the instinct to "survive," and he was no longer the cunning and ruthless ninja he had been moments before.

He kept climbing forward.

The mere one or two meters felt like an insurmountable chasm to this elite Jonin.

It wasn't until a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, leaving Kato with nowhere to go, that he looked up in bewilderment.

The female ninja from the Land of Rain was watching him.

In the other person's refined features, an extreme ferocity was brewing, like the clang of swords, sending chills down one's spine.

"People like rats—"

Why didn't you keep running away?

The girl's clear voice carried on the wind, sending a chill down Kato Dan's spine.

"Hehe————"

Kato's throat slid.

He longed to let out a calm, triumphant laugh in his final moments, but the laughter sounded so ugly.

"What difference would it make if you killed me?"

"Eye roll—"

"Cough cough cough!"

"Didn't you also fail to get what you wanted?"

At this point, Kato Dan completely gave up hope of escaping.

With each word he spoke, he would gasp for breath, the muddy water rushing into his mouth, causing him to cough repeatedly.

Ayane Amamiya calmly retorted, "You think I killed you because I failed to obtain the Byakugan?"

"Otherwise—what?"

"I've already seen through your true colors."

Kato Dan spat out the muddy water in his mouth and sneered mockingly, "There's no need to pretend with that hypocritical attitude anymore, ninja. It's just you and me here."

Ayane Amamiya shook her head.

"Perhaps the eye roll is priceless to you."

"So in your eyes, no matter who it is, everyone regards it as a treasure."

"But for that innocent child, these eyes were a cruel misfortune—"

"What use is there for me to keep such a calamity-inducing object?"

The girl said softly, "My killing you has nothing to do with rolling my eyes."

"Simply because you committed unforgivable atrocities against my fellow countrymen in my own country!"

That's all!

Having said that, she ignored Kato Dan's moving lips.

Palms slightly clasped together.

Dust Escape was activated again.

Kato Dan's body turned to ashes in the extreme white light, and was directly annihilated into nothingness!

despair!

A piece of emerald green crystal fell limply from the sky.

Ayane Amamiya reached out and took it, then turned and left.

Using the torrential rain as a guide, she had already located Tsunade's position.

The task at hand is to find a way to force this medical expert to treat the child named Dou!
