Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

We, three ordinary ANBU, went to spy on the Sannin?

No matter how you look at it, this task is a ridiculous thing, isn't it?

Ayane Amamiya glanced at herself and her two teammates behind her, wondering if she was going to have to use her beauty to seduce them.

The key is that the eagle, though beautiful enough, has a rather naive and innocent personality, so it's unlikely that it has any ulterior motives to use its beauty to seduce someone!

Are we supposed to rely on the mature and steady woodpecker to sell its beauty?

The problem is, isn't Tsunade's boyfriend named Kato something-or-other?

It seems he's not going for the mature, reliable older man image...

"The detailed mission outline has been issued, and all the information regarding the Legendary Sannin of Konoha is here."

The ANBU ninja acted as if he hadn't heard her question.

The man acted very businesslike, and after speaking, he turned and left without giving Ayane Amamiya a chance to continue speaking.

Yes, that's the norm for most ANBU ninjas.

Ayane Amamiya had no choice but to accept the information, as she couldn't disobey orders.

Upon opening it, I found that the content was also unremarkable.

Aside from the physical descriptions of the three legendary Sannin, all that's known is their specific ninjutsu; their past mission records are largely blank, perhaps even less than what one might know from watching anime in a previous life...

However, this intelligence is not entirely without merit.

The fact that they could completely reconstruct the battle between the three Sannin and Hanzo is already classified as S-level top secret information!

In fact, to ensure clarity, Amegakure's artists used illustrations instead of words to describe certain crucial parts of the battle, making it feel like reading a comic book...

Ayane Amamiya carefully reviewed the document and came to two important conclusions.

First, Tsunade had not yet mastered the Yin Seal at this time, let alone the subsequent Ninjutsu: Hundred Healings Technique.

Secondly, Jiraiya has not yet learned the Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku, or perhaps he hasn't mastered them yet.

However, neither of these two techniques was demonstrated in the battle against Hanzo.

After handing the intelligence to two team members for review, Ayane Amamiya stood there, lost in thought.

"Unexpectedly, Hanzo and the three legendary ninjas have reached an agreement not to attack each other's ordinary ninjas..."

"This detail wasn't mentioned in any of the anime I watched in my past life."

"It seems that this agreement is largely the reason why the higher-ups in the Dark Side assigned this mission to a small, understaffed team like ours."

"However, this feeling of not being able to control one's own life and death is truly unpleasant!"

Her mind raced, but the initial panic she felt upon receiving the mission gradually subsided.

After reading the intelligence, Eagle looked somewhat anxious: "Ayane... no, Captain, do you think the Legendary Sannin of Konoha will keep their promise?"

A few days ago, when she was helping her teammates collect their bodies, she saw the corpse of the former captain, Night Raven.

Well, how should I put it?

He was struck directly in the chest by Tsunade's Painful Kick, his death was extremely gruesome, his chest caved in, almost flattened into a sheet by her monstrous strength...

Truly chest to back!

That sight sent chills down one's spine, making even the young girl, Takenaka Rin, feel a pang of pain!

After Eagle returned that day, he didn't eat for the entire day, and kept muttering to Ayane Amamiya: How can there be such a violent female taijutsu ninja!

Upon hearing this, Woodpecker comforted him, saying, "Theoretically speaking, as long as we don't provoke them, such important figures should have their own pride and wouldn't willingly go against their ninja way."

The eagle asked timidly, "Really...?"

Ayane Amamiya did not participate in the discussion between the two team members.

The girl paced back and forth in place, slowly figuring out Hanzo's intentions.

"Don't worry, this mission won't last long."

Ayane Amamiya suddenly clenched her fist and said firmly, "I understand now. When Leader Hanzo made this agreement, he had already planned out the subsequent course of the war."

The eyes of both teammates simultaneously revealed the innocence and confusion of little children.

I feel like I'm completely out of sync with the captain's train of thought!

"Although I hate to admit it, after Konoha developed the antidote, our chances of winning this war are indeed slim."

"Among the five great nations, even the weakest village, Sunagakure, is no match for us after it developed an antidote, let alone Konoha, the strongest ninja village?"

Ayane Amamiya exclaimed in realization, "Although they are still gathering ninja forces, I suspect that Leader Hanzo is already considering retreating and surrendering!"

She only dared to say such treasonous and demoralizing words in private to two of her teammates.

After all, the tragic death of Yang Xiu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms due to his "chicken rib theory" is still fresh in our minds...

The eagle and the woodpecker were still puzzled.

The two blinked and asked, "So...?"

"Therefore, under these circumstances, continuing to keep the three ninja alive would be a very unwise move."

Ayane Amamiya's thoughts became increasingly clear: "Leader Hanzo might be able to defeat the Sannin in battle, but if that happens, Konoha will definitely continue to reinforce! Whether it's Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, or Danzo, the Dark Shinobi, whoever comes, they will bring a new batch of forces, which will only make matters worse for the Land of Rain, whose chances of victory are already slim!"

In other words, although Hanzo won, he didn't dare to win completely!

At this point, the girl changed the subject and continued, "But if we can reach an agreement with the Sannin that they will not fight each other, although the Sannin will not leave immediately, ninjas of this caliber will definitely be transferred back to Konoha by the Third Hokage later."

"After all, the Konoha clan is large and powerful, and it also borders the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning."

"The current Third Tsuchikage and Raikage have always coveted Konoha's fertile land."

"I've heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi is a calm and collected person who loves to play it safe."

"Therefore, it's impossible for him to leave three top-tier combatants idle for an extended period!"

The girl said confidently, "Once the Sannin leave, the Konoha ninja army certainly won't stay long either. In that case, the war between the Fire and Rain Kingdoms will effectively end!"

This is not a peace-seeking strategy.

Instead, it was a calculated move made under the guise of Konoha's large size attracting attention and making it a target of covetousness.

After listening, the eagle clapped its hands excitedly and said, "That's right, that makes perfect sense!"

She didn't think too much about it; she just thought that Ayane Amamiya was truly remarkable, able to analyze so much from such a short piece of information.

As expected of the woman I've chosen... oh no, Captain!

But the woodpecker, a middle-aged man with rich experience, quickly thought of a deeper danger.

Hanzo's strategy of "subtly admitting defeat" was indeed ingenious.

But I wonder if he ever considered that by giving up the battle first, he was essentially abandoning the morale of the Amegakure side.

You must understand that in the hearts of the vast majority of Rain Village ninjas, Hanzo the Salamander is the backbone of this country, an omnipotent god in their hearts!

Now, it's bad enough that the deity in my heart has failed to launch two consecutive offensives.

Faced with Konoha's counterattack, they instead took the lead in cowering and retreating, appearing as if they dared not retaliate.

After witnessing this scene, how could the Amegakure ninjas possibly still have the courage to fight against Konoha?

Why would they still be thinking about defending their homeland?

Even if the war between the Fire and Rain Kingdoms ends here, wouldn't the bones of the Rain Kingdom be broken as well?

The woodpecker sighed inwardly.

He didn't know if the incredibly intelligent Ayane Amamiya had thought of this, but his gaze towards the girl became somewhat bewildered.

The great Sage of Six Paths.

Where exactly is the backbone of the Land of Rain's future?
