Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 221 Visitors from Another World and the Otsutsuki Treasure

As the saying goes, without power, there is no voice.

The Loulan Queen's vehement protests ultimately had no effect.

Compared to a military organization like Sunagakure, which is based on violence, the royal family of Loulan was merely a bunch of ninjas—

How can we disrupt Sunagakure's resolve and plans?

Although the Queen has not given up and is still running around trying to persuade Sasori and Yekura, the two young high-ranking members of Sunagakure.

But Sunagakure remained indifferent.

Even if it weren't for Yekura's kind nature and her reluctance to take any impolite actions towards the Queen, Sarah and her mother would likely have been forcibly abducted by unknown individuals and then vanished without a trace.

Amid the roar of machinery.

Following orders from the village, hundreds of Sand Village ninja began extensively constructing and expanding the pipeline system to accelerate the mining of the dragon vein.

That's why they're so impatient.

The pressure from puppet orders coming from Ayane Amamiya is only one aspect of the problem.

More importantly, Sasori received orders from the Kazekage to attempt to use the Dragon Vein Chakra to create even more powerful weapons of war.

Including but not limited to chakra cannons, steel tanks, and iron sand composite armor!

They're working overtime to stockpile military supplies—

obviously.

The desire for war within Sunagakure has become so strong that they're no longer even pretending!

Because the factory is located underground.

The people of Loulan were still unaware of these events.

In fact, the Sand Village's substantial investment and construction brought a period of prosperity to the ancient city of Loulan.

The people were still applauding and cheering for Sunagakure.

They praised the three generations of Fengying and denounced the incompetence of the Loulan Queen, believing that she was hindering the development of Loulan and turning back the clock of history!

all in all.

Jiraiya quietly arrived at Loulan, a small country with a long history, amidst such a frenzied and chaotic atmosphere.

He used a transformation technique.

He transformed himself into a down-on-his-luck middle-aged vagrant and then swaggered into the city with two toad pets.

"Wow—desert girls have such beautiful skin!"

"Although their skin tone isn't generally fair, it's a healthy tan, and it looks smooth and soft; the feel of it is simply unbelievable!"

Jiraiya was basically playing himself.

His lecherous gaze swept over the passing girls, and no one would doubt that this guy was one of the infamous Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Fortunately, he still remembered the important matter.

Without needing to be nagged by the two toad masters, Fukasaku and Shima, Jiraiya looked around and, after determining the direction, quickly got to work.

in fact.

Even now, he still doesn't quite understand the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.

That day was at Mount Myoboku.

Jiraiya suddenly received a summons from the Great Toad Sage.

After a series of mysterious explanations and instructions.

The Great Toad Sage tells Jiraiya that in the endless desert of the Land of Wind, in a country called Loulan, a crisis that could destroy the ninja world is brewing in secret!

Destroy the ninja world!

The combination of these words is terrifying just to hear!

Jiraiya was skeptical of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.

However, the first thought that popped into his mind was to find the so-called prophetic child.

After all, a disaster of this magnitude is something that ordinary people like us can't get involved in.

But the Great Toad Sage said: "The Child of Prophecy has not yet been born. By the time he is reincarnated, the ninja world might be completely doomed. Therefore, this heavy responsibility can only be entrusted to you," and so on.

Jiraiya wanted to ask more questions.

However, the Great Toad Sage stated that "the matter involves a person born of nobility," making it impossible for it to make a more accurate prediction.

And then.

It just snored and went back to sleeping soundly with its eyes closed.

Completely baffled, Jiraiya left a letter for Konoha explaining the situation, and then, with Fukasaku and Shima the toads, embarked on his journey to the Land of Wind.

The red-light district of Loulan is relatively hidden.

However, this ancient need is innate and basically cannot be eliminated. Therefore, as long as humans live together for a long time, there will definitely be places with corresponding functions.

Jiraiya relied on his excellent sense of smell and his seasoned experience.

They quickly stumbled upon a shady little tavern after winding their way through the streets.

From the conversations of the hostesses and other drinkers around him, he quickly figured out a series of recent events in Loulan.

"Jiraiya, where do we go next?"

As soon as they left the red-light district, the two toad immortals couldn't wait to ask, "We're not going to go to such a lewd place again, are we?"

"No, we're going to find the Queen of Loulan!"

Jiraiya shook his head, dispelling the effects of the alcohol, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the crisis predicted by the Great Toad Sage most likely refers to this dragon vein!"

"Doesn't that mean we're going to have to face off against Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages?"

Although Fukasaku had lived on Mount Myōboku for a long time, he still had some understanding of the situation in the ninja world. He asked with difficulty, "Will this operation affect you?"

The carefree Sage Shima lightly tapped the old man and scolded, "Are you senile? The crisis here could destroy the ninja world, and you're still thinking about these things?"

Jiraiya shook his head upon hearing this, remaining silent, but his mood was somewhat heavy.

Actually, compared to the so-called Sand Village ninjas, he was more troubled by another person in Loulan.

Disciple of Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod of the ninja world; current leader of the Land of Rivers; second master of Dust Release in the ninja world.

He was also the mastermind behind the murder of his own disciple, Minato Namikaze!

Ayane Amamiya!

I wonder if I, who have now gained a preliminary grasp of the Immortal Mode, will be able to avenge my disciple?

The thought of avenging oneself flashed through one's mind and then vanished.

Jiraiya didn't hesitate much; the most important thing right now was to resolve the crisis of the dragon vein.

the other side.

Ayane Amamiya returned to Yokura's private hot spring.

The formation of hot springs requires well-permeable rock strata and a natural heat source.

Therefore, Yecang can be considered one of the locations within the ancient city of Loulan that is closest to the dragon vein.

Ayane Amamiya is preparing to officially begin her Sage Mode training here.

As for exploring the dragon vein in depth—

Again.

She wasn't prepared to rush in without being completely certain.

The weathering dangers caused by excessive inhalation of natural energy are only one aspect.

On the other hand, Ayane Amamiya was also afraid that she might be inexplicably caught in a time-space turbulence, ending up in the past or future, and then never be able to return—

After all, it's in the theatrical version.

The instability of the dragon vein after the upheaval is obvious to all.

Yoshikura expressed her strong support for Ayane Amamiya's decision and praised her for her discerning eye and exceptional judgment.

"I discovered this auspicious location a long time ago!"

She said smugly, "Have you noticed? As long as you're soaking in the hot spring, the power of any ninjutsu you unleash will be inexplicably amplified!"

At this point, Ye Cangman wisely concluded: "And I've named this rule the First Law of Undressing!"

Ayane Amamiya's lips twitched.

This phenomenon is actually easy to explain. It's simply because too much chakra escaped from the dragon vein, accumulated in the surrounding environment, and invisibly mixed into ninjutsu, thus amplifying its power.

"Is there a second law of undressing?" she asked curiously, suppressing her speechlessness.

"Yes, of course."

Ye Cang nodded and said seriously, "The second law of undressing is that soaking in a hot spring is more comfortable than wearing clothes! Oh, and I have a third law too, do you want to know it?"

Ayane Amamiya finally realized that this guy was messing with her.

"I want to know what you're thinking!"

"Get out of here right now!"

The girl shoved the guy out in a huff and slammed the courtyard gate shut.

"This is my territory! You dare to chase me away?"

Ye Cang pretended to be annoyed and patted the door, then shouted fiercely from outside, "I'm not calling you for dinner tonight! If you're late, prepare to go hungry!"

Mei Terumi immediately sensed an opportunity.

She called out from outside the door, "Ayane, it's okay. I know training is tough. I'll bring you food later!"

Ok.

Only I feel sorry for you!

After saying that, Mei Terumi didn't forget to give Yekura a provocative "thank you" look.

Yecang was furious upon seeing this.

What a scheming girl!

Beside the hot spring.

Amamiya Ayane was too lazy to pay attention to the intellectual battle between the two girls.

The girl clasped her hands together and used Earth Escape Technique.

She created a smooth earthen platform directly in the center of the hot spring pool.

Ayane Amamiya lightly leaped onto the earthen platform, sat cross-legged on it, and slowly closed her eyes.

The steam from the hot spring rose up and enveloped her.

Soon, Ayane Amamiya's figure disappeared into the mist and could no longer be seen.

The cultivation of Sage Mode can be roughly divided into three steps.

The first step is to sense the natural energy in the environment.

The second step is to maintain a 1:1:1 balance between natural energy, spiritual energy, and physical energy, and then extract and condense Sage Chakra.

The third step is to release the refined Sage Chakra in the form of Ninjutsu, thus achieving a true Sage-level Ninjutsu.

Currently, Ayane Amamiya's progress is stuck on the second step.

Maintaining a precise 1:1:1 ratio of the three energies was not difficult for her.

However, due to a lack of familiarity with the process.

Her efficiency in absorbing natural energy was too low, far from being comparable to the vast amount of chakra within her body.

Therefore, Ayane Amamiya must be in an environment with extremely rich natural energy in order to complete the second step.

between breaths.

The white vapor around them swelled and billowed.

While Ayane Amamiya was skillfully refining her Sage Chakra, she even found herself thinking about Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode.

The First Hokage's Sage Mode was incredibly powerful.

Not only can he instantly activate Sage Mode, but unlike Naruto Uzumaki and Kabuto Yakushi, Hashirama's Sage Mode shows absolutely no signs of animalization!

Theoretically speaking.

Even if Hashirama Senju learned Sage Mode from Shikkotsu Forest, it shouldn't be so far behind the Sage Mode of the other two great holy lands.

Therefore, Ayane Amamiya has reason to speculate.

The reason why Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode is so unique is because he possesses a Sage Body that far surpasses that of all previous Ashura reincarnations!

And coincidentally...

I have this myself, even though it's a bit of a basic version now!

Ayane Amamiya glanced at the achievement point notification that popped up on the panel and murmured to herself.

What will my Sage Mode look like?

It really is true—

I'm really looking forward to it!

Directly below the ancient city of Loulan.

The deepest parts of the earth.

As Sunagakure accelerates its extraction of the dragon vein's chakra.

As Ayane Amamiya had previously speculated, the dynamic balance of natural energy and chakra near the dragon vein was beginning to show signs of being disrupted.

I don't know how much time passed.

The dragon vein's chakra suddenly surged and roared.

A blurry figure emerged from the crimson dragon blood.

He wore a white robe, had two horns on his head, and his skin was pale. A sense of nobility and frailty were simultaneously presented on his slender body.

"Where am I?!"

The pale figure stared at the pitch-black chaos around him, a look of bewilderment flashing across his face for a moment.

But then he sniffed hard.

Hmm————

The sweet scent of chakra is very noticeable.

So no matter where this is, it must still be on the original planet!

As long as we're on this planet, things will be much easier!

After all, one only has one goal —

His gaze shifted.

The gaze follows the chasm formed by the dragon vein, going all the way upwards.

The distance was too great, but thanks to the powerful eye abilities that his race was born with, he could still clearly see the scene on the other side.

Thick pipes pierced into the soles of his feet, forming a giant chakra dragon.

Around the pipe, there were still many figures moving around, occasionally bending down to install certain metal parts.

That must be the exit, right?

The figure pondered for a moment.

He didn't rush to leave, but instead waved his hand.

A crystal-clear object shaped like a tortoise tower suddenly appeared in his hand.

This is one of the treasures of my clan, called "Form", which possesses incomparably wondrous power.

The "In-Course Type" can transport people through time by injecting a large amount of chakra at once, allowing them to return to the past!

After the "current type" was activated, it should have been in a dormant state, but the figure could feel that the turtle tower on his palm was still maintaining an abnormal activity!

He looked down at the soles of his feet.

The clear Byakugan pierced through the immense chakra, reaching the deepest essence of the dragon vein.

The magnificent crimson chakra dragon beneath my feet happens to sit atop a discarded model!

I see----"

This is probably a form left behind by some clansman, and it was awakened by the actions of those people above, which happened to resonate with my "plow" —

No wonder I was summoned here!

But this is a bit troublesome—

My original spatial and temporal location was disrupted by the "shape" beneath my feet, meaning I may have arrived in the wrong spatial and temporal space—

If it's just a time-stream positioning error, it can still be resolved.

What I fear most is that I've arrived in another, unfamiliar timeline—

The figure muttered to itself, its tone tinged with distress.

Because he wields the legendary Noble Phantasm "Taiji," he always holds a deep reverence for the complexity and difficulty of time.

The probability of such a coincidence, where "plows" sense each other, occurring is probably only one in a billion. But once it happens, it is incredibly difficult to deal with!

This is the curse that time has cast upon all those who try to manipulate it!

In fact.

The visitor from outer space wasn't wrong.

Because of the unexpected arrival of this recluse.

In the ninja world, all the forces that were hidden underwater and should not have been active at this time showed unusual reactions.

above the moon.

The giant, crystal-white Tenseigan turned and suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, its gaze fixed on the direction of Loulan.

This astonishing anomaly frightened the clansmen guarding the Reincarnation Eye, who hurriedly ran to inform the clan elders.

In the distant graveyard of giant beasts.

Black Zetsu, who had been assigned by Madara Uchiha to work as Kushina Uzumaki's "nanny" and "eyes and ears," suddenly trembled with fear.

Even the Land of Lightning, thousands of miles away.

A man with somewhat abstract features also opened his eyes, revealing a puzzled expression.
