Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

At midnight, all was quiet.

Ayane Amamiya stopped her sword-wielding training, took out the sealing technique manual her mother had left her, and sat on a tree, flipping through it from side to side.

Sealing techniques, like chakra, are said to have originated from the Sage of Six Paths.

Of course, she knew that the Sage of Six Paths was also an alien, not a native of the ninja world.

Therefore, it's hard to say whether the sealing technique system was brought from space by the Otsutsuki clan or originated from the ninja world itself.

However, unlike chakra, which is a universally available resource that almost everyone possesses.

Sealing techniques have certain threshold requirements for the aptitude and capacity of practitioners, so they have not spread widely.

The sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan are profound and sophisticated.

As top clans during the Warring States period, the Uzumaki clan was slightly inferior to the Senju and Uchiha clans, but with their sealing techniques, no one dared to underestimate them.

Moreover, unlike ninjutsu.

If we say that the prosperity of ninjutsu today is the result of the joint efforts of all ninjas, then...

Therefore, sealing techniques are almost exclusively used by the Uzumaki clan.

We won't mention sealing techniques at the level of Super Shadow or Six Paths, such as Six Paths: Planetary Devastation or Six Paths: Ten-Tailed Coffin Seal.

But in daily life.

The common sealing techniques used by ninjas are mostly derived from the Uzumaki clan.

Some S-rank sealing techniques are unique to the Uzumaki clan.

For example, the Yin Seal for storing chakra, the Reaper Death Seal for a one-for-one trade, and the infamous Reverse Four Symbols Seal that can seal an entire bridge...

The essence of sealing techniques is to suppress the target's chakra, body, or soul through cursed seals or spells.

Depending on the category, it can achieve effects such as imprisonment, cutting, restriction, and isolation, but it cannot kill or eliminate.

Therefore, while sealing techniques are powerful, their destructive power is limited, and they can only be used as a supplementary method.

The three sentences at the very top of the scroll were a wake-up call.

It reads like the general outline of a martial arts manual, followed by an unfamiliar name with a swirling vortex.

Without a doubt, this person must be a great figure in the history of sealing techniques!

Ayane Amamiya couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Look at the wisdom of our ancestors, the Whirlpool Ancestor, it's truly extraordinary.

It should be noted that this incident was also recorded on the island of Ohara, the island of scholars, in the neighboring film studio.

If the Uzumaki clan had kept this in mind when conducting research, and hadn't been blinded by the superficial peace of the ninja village era, they wouldn't have been wiped out by a coalition of several ninja villages!

Then I wouldn't be drifting aimlessly in the Land of Rain...

Actually, she thought that made a lot of sense.

In the later Fourth Shinobi World War, so many powerful figures, both old and young, appeared.

From Obito in Six Paths to Madara in Six Paths, and then to the white-haired mature woman Kaguya Otsutsuki, everyone, whether human or dog, can show off a few sealing techniques.

But upon closer reflection, no powerful individual is limited to sealing techniques!

It is clear that while this thing is powerful, it is not invincible.

Ultimately, one must be strong oneself to succeed!

Ayane Amamiya continued reading.

However, the content after the scroll is not particularly interesting; it mainly consists of specific training methods for sealing techniques.

"Ishito Light Array..."

Looking at the sealing technique that was listed first and most basic, Ayane Amamiya thought to herself that the effect of this technique looked somewhat familiar.

Upon closer reflection, I realized...

Isn't this the one that Iruka Umino used in the anime?

In terms of the effectiveness of the seal, even Naruto during his ninja academy days could easily break free.

Based on the ranking system, it's probably only a D-rank or even E-rank sealing technique...

However, it is very suitable for beginners to get started.

She flipped her hand and, following the hand seals on the scroll, slowly tried to condense chakra into a tadpole-shaped talisman.

suddenly.

A signal flare, trailing a dazzling plume of flame, soared high into the clouds amidst a sharp whistling sound!

Then it exploded, spreading into a large red cloud of smoke that floated in the sky.

Ayane Amamiya was startled. She stopped what she was doing and looked into the distance. She found that the signal flare was dozens of miles away, in a small plain behind the mountains.

"These are specially made signal flares for combat units."

Awakened by the strange noise, the woodpecker and eagle came over and watched the fireworks in the sky together.

Before joining the Anbu, Eagle served in a reconnaissance unit and had some exposure to relevant regulations: "It should be to gather the scattered ninja forces in the vicinity."

Before the words were even finished, several more identical signal flares floated up into the sky.

"Judging from the location of the signal flare, the battle line has moved back dozens of miles compared to the area where we were previously stationed, and we are completely out of the mountainous area."

Ayane Amamiya, with her keen observation, quickly noticed a detail that neither of them had seen: "It seems that the higher-ups intend to abandon the area around An Yuechuan and retreat to a more rear area to set up defenses."

The Land of Rain is not very large to begin with.

After abandoning this rare natural barrier of the long river, the deeper you go, the more plains and hills you become, reaching the area where ordinary people of the Rain Kingdom live.

Both team members remained silent.

They remembered the information they had previously obtained from the special jonin, Nomura.

It turns out that Konoha's decision to set up the meeting point in Aoni Town within the country was not out of arrogance or conceit, but rather out of absolute confidence in its own strength.

A complex feeling crept into everyone's hearts.

There was anger, disappointment, and helplessness.

Eagle muttered, "Why are the higher-ups retreating? We've already wiped out so many Konoha ninjas."

She was just venting her emotions when she said that.

In truth, they all knew that the few squads they had wiped out were nothing compared to the entire enemy force.

"Are you going to meet up with a prostitute?"

The woodpecker broke the silence, looking at the girl and asking, "Or should we stay in the forest and assassinate the Leaf Village's fringe squad?"

In a typical intelligence team, the three of them were far beyond what was expected.

Woodpecker is a taijutsu-type Jonin, with strength roughly equivalent to a Konoha Special Jonin.

Ayane Amamiya excels in both ninjutsu and taijutsu. Combined with her stat bonuses and meticulous mind, she is practically a special jonin.

The eagles were a bit weak.

However, they are sensory-type ninjas, which greatly expands their battle plans.

But after some deliberation, Ayane Amamiya decided, "Let's leave now. There's not much point in staying."

although.

She longed to unleash her guerrilla tactics, delaying Konoha's advance as much as possible in the vast rainforest, and incidentally racking up achievement points on her stats.

However, Ayane Amamiya is also responsible for the lives of her two teammates.

not to mention.

I have to admit that the tactics I learned in my previous life are really not very useful in this world.

No matter how well you hide in the mountains and forests, you can still fight as a guerrilla.

From Konoha's perspective, if they send a pair of Byakugan to sweep over, there's nowhere for them to hide!

"It's good to retreat; the captain and the others should be there too."

The woodpecker comforted us, saying, "We've exceeded our expectations for this mission, so we should get a good reward, and maybe even a day off to relax."

His intention was to comfort the swan and ease its pressure.

But how could he know that Ayane Amamiya already knew about the deaths of the other team members from the assessment given on the panel...?

"That Night Raven guy is probably dead by now," the girl thought to herself.

The squad's staffing was completed in less than a week, and in the blink of an eye, it was already short by more than half again!

----------

The sky is bright.

Following the signal flare, the three successfully arrived at the new rendezvous point of the Rain Shadow Squad.

This was Ayane Amamiya's first time visiting a large-scale military camp since she entered the battlefield.

Whether patrolling in the Dark Guard squad or resting in the Dark Guard safe house, the combat was always meticulous.

The ninja army's operations, however, were different, taking on a more military-like feel.

Look around.

The disheveled ninjas walked through the disheveled camp, doing disheveled things with disheveled expressions.

A faint smell of blood wafted in from all directions, mixed with the unique freshness of the morning, and it smelled strangely intoxicating.

Many people broke through the encirclement overnight.

Ayane Amamiya silently observed her surroundings.

Perhaps it was because they had been traveling overnight that many people were in a bad mood.

Shouts, rebukes, and angry curses were everywhere.

There was absolutely no military discipline.

In this respect, the Amegakure ninjas are really not very good. No wonder that after Konoha developed the antidote, they were easily defeated in a single, slightly serious raid.

If word gets out, we'll be laughed at to death by the other ninja villages.

Eight hundred calamities rained down, their merits shook the world.

Of course, Ayane Amamiya is an ANBU member.

Once she put on her black combat uniform and ghost mask, no matter how angry the people around her were, no one dared to provoke her.

It does give off a bit of a Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) vibe...

"woodpecker?"

Upon arriving at the Dark Guard's exclusive camp, a familiar Dark Guard member wearing a sunflower mask approached and exclaimed in surprise, "You're not dead?"

"That joke isn't funny," the woodpecker muttered.

"Hey! You bastard..."

The Sunflower Anbu didn't argue and offered their blessings: "I hope you never die, alright? Speaking of which, you're really lucky. Both of your captains died in battle, but you're still alive and well."

Now it was the woodpecker and the eagle's turn to be shocked: "Captain Crow is dead?"

Although they had anticipated the failure of the summoning spell, hearing this news still...

The Sunflower Anbu member said calmly, "Yes, she was kicked in the heart by that Konoha ninja named Tsunade..."

Amamiya Ayane thought to herself: This way of dying, that's definitely the worst possible way to die.

Tsunade's "jade feet" are not something everyone can withstand.

The woodpecker exclaimed incredulously, "What about the peregrine falcon? You know that guy, right? He came back from the Land of Wind with me..."

Sunflower Anbu shrugged: "He died too. It seems he was stepped on by a fire-breathing toad."

"This..." The woodpecker was stunned, and a cold sweat broke out on its back.

If I hadn't chosen to stay...

Still shaken, he heard the eagle chirping behind him: "Swan, who do you think is stronger, this ninja named Tsunade or Konoha's White Fang, Sakumo Hatake?"

When Night Raven received the battle report from the puppeteers of Sunagakure, they said that if they were to fight Hatake Sakumo, the outcome would be uncertain.

But now he's been kicked to death by this ninja named Tsunade...

Does that mean Tsunade is greater than Konoha's White Fang?

Ayane Amamiya thought for a moment, then answered softly, "I guess it's about 50/50..."

The eagle was a little skeptical and asked, "Really?"

"What I mean is... if the two of them were to fight, Tsunade should spread her fingers, raise both hands to show her sincerity, and then shout 'I surrender'..."

------

After dinner at dusk.

Inside a black tent.

"This is the corresponding merit calculation after you handed over your protective badges."

A ninja from the Anbu handed over a form: "Confirm you want to redeem a B-rank ninjutsu: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique? Why not consider something else?"

Ayane Amamiya hadn't spoken yet.

The eagle nodded immediately and said, "This is it!"

The woodpecker chimed in, "That's right."

The ANBU ninja nodded and put the form back: "Those who want to study, come to the second camp tomorrow morning."

Having said that, he vanished in an instant.

Ayane Amamiya glanced at the two of them, but before she could speak, the eagle removed his mask, jumped into her arms, and grinned, saying, "Ayane, from now on, my life depends entirely on you!"

The woodpecker scratched its head.

Should I rush over there too?

Isn't that a bad idea?

Just as I was wondering whether I should go out first, I heard Ayane Amamiya's voice come from beside me: "Thank you, senpai."

A smile appeared on the face beneath the woodpecker mask. He whispered, "It's alright. By the way, I'll go replenish my ninja tools first, and I'll collect yours while I'm at it."

Having spent too long in the shadows, they can't bear to hear such sincere words of gratitude, nor can they bear to witness such tender scenes.
