Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Early the next morning.

The three members of the team and the three little ones sat together eating breakfast.

Such heartwarming scenes are rare in the lives of ANBU ninjas.

Fortunately, none of the three members of the Black Swan team are normal people.

A single, middle-aged father raising a child; a clueless kid who hasn't even grown up himself; and Ayane Amamiya, a rebellious individual who completely disregards rules and regulations...

The group was much more tolerant of the three little ones than the three ninjas next door.

"Xiao Nan's injuries were almost healed a few days ago."

Ayane Amamiya put down the food in her hand and looked at the three little ones in front of her: "So, I think it's time for us to part ways."

Upon hearing this, everyone paused in their actions.

In fact, everyone had expected this.

But after actually hearing the news, I couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

Upon hearing this, Yahiko looked dejected and muttered, "I understand..."

After saying that, he seemed to realize that his behavior was too impolite, so he bowed his head and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for taking care of us during this time. We will definitely repay you in the future."

Ever since that day on the way back, when Nagato presumptuously asked to become his disciple.

Yahiko himself had also privately considered this matter many times.

But regardless of age or social status, the other party would absolutely not agree to such an outrageous request...

Therefore, Yahiko had made preparations early on—first taking Nagato and Konan back to his secret base, and then looking for an opportunity to learn ninjutsu on his own!

As for finding a mentor or something...

To be honest, after experiencing this incident, all of them were left with considerable psychological trauma.

Xiao Nan pouted and took out the gifts she had made in advance from her pocket—three paper shuriken and three paper dolls.

Ever since I learned how to refine chakra.

She hadn't learned any other ninjutsu yet, but she was surprised to find that the things she made from paper were extremely durable.

For example, the paper shokuken (shūken).

Not only is it not afraid of getting wet from the rain, but it is also extremely sharp.

Although it is not as sturdy as weapons made of steel, being hit by it will definitely not be pleasant.

"These are gifts the three of us prepared for you, please... be sure to accept them!"

Xiao Nan bowed deeply and distributed the gifts to the team members.

The three dolls also have a unique design, completely unrelated to the characters' dark side personas.

The woodpecker, holding a kitchen knife and wearing an apron, is a middle-aged man busily cooking around a cutting board.

The eagle held a chicken leg in each hand and a large white pear on its head, looking every bit the simple-minded glutton.

The doll of Ayane Amamiya is slightly larger than both of them. It is a fighting girl with a long sword in her arms, leaning against a tree trunk, with a fierce look in her eyes.

To be honest, Konan's cooking skills combined with her chakra are truly unbeatable.

She transformed ordinary origami crafts into something resembling a high-tech figurine!

Looking at this miniature version of herself, Ayane Amamiya couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, smiling and praising, "It looks great! I really like it!"

"It's fine."

Konan was both humble and boastful: "Yahiko found the materials, Nagato designed the shape, and I did the final handcrafting."

Nagato heard this.

Her purple eyes peeked over from behind her bangs, hoping that Ayane Amamiya would also give her a few more compliments.

Each of these characters was carefully designed and meticulously crafted by him.

Ayane Amamiya's is even worse!

But the girl didn't say anything more. She put the doll down and changed the subject, saying, "Although we're about to part ways, I've actually made some arrangements for you. I just don't know if you're willing to accept them."

This statement is quite a twist of fate.

The previously somber atmosphere instantly became cheerful.

The eagle chuckled softly beside him, muttering, "I knew it! Ayane is always two-faced. It's a wonder she could pretend to be so heartless before..."

The woodpecker glanced at her, thinking to itself that this child must have had her brain damaged from the cold during her night watch, daring to scold the cricket captain to his face...

Yahiko bowed deeply: "Please show us the way!"

Ayane Amamiya carefully considered her words before slowly saying, "The village's ninja academy will open in two months. My initial idea is that you all stay at my hometown for a while, and then take a caravan to the capital of the Land of Rain to enroll when school starts."

"—I happen to know the school principal. He's getting old, and I guess he must be pretty bored all the time..."

She is now the only direct descendant of the Amamiya family.

But in the ancestral shrine, there is an old steward who is responsible for guarding the ancestral graves behind the shrine.

Before he could finish speaking, Yahiko shouted, "We do!"

The girl paused.

With a serious expression, he said, "Yahiko, joining a ninja village might not be a good choice for you. You should think it over carefully."

As far as she knows.

Given Yahiko's kind nature, he will most likely clash with the internal atmosphere of Amegakure in the future...

Yahiko sensed the girl's concerns.

He shook his head firmly and said, "I believe you! Besides, my choice isn't about joining the ninja village, but about... following you!"

This was the first time he had ever said something so explicit.

After finishing his sentence, Yahiko looked at his two friends, hoping they would also express their opinions.

Then I turned my head and looked.

Konan cheered and rushed towards Ayane Amamiya. Although Nagato didn't say anything, his relieved expression clearly showed that he had agreed.

Yahiko scratched his head.

What?

So it turns out I was the one who "surrendered" last?

--------

Not two days after the three kids left, the three ninjas also made their move.

Ayane Amamiya noticed that Jiraiya and the others had packed their belongings and seemed to be preparing to leave.

She hurriedly followed.

The other party made no attempt to hide anything.

Orochimaru, who was the least familiar with Ayane Amamiya, surprisingly spoke first, revealing information: "The Land of Lightning has been experiencing frequent disturbances recently, and the Hokage issued a recall order the day before yesterday. My friends in Amamiya, we'll have to meet again sometime."

Tsunade looked at Ayane Amamiya with complicated emotions, wanting to say something, but hesitated to speak.

The three legendary Konoha ninjas just missed each other.

Jiraiya turned and waved goodbye, silently mouthing, "Amamiya-kun, when I get back I'll publish my novel, and you'll see it's a huge hit!"

Ayane Amamiya ignored this unreliable guy, her mind filled with doubts.

Orochimaru, that guy, would actually be so kind as to share the battle situation with me?

If her trust level towards Jiraiya is 70% and her trust level towards Tsunade is 30%, then the girl's trust level towards Orochimaru is a completely negative number!

Could it be fake news?

But this is completely pointless!

Could it be that Orochimaru is actually using my channels to try to inform the higher-ups of Amegakure?

But what's the use of that?

She couldn't help but feel uneasy.

However, in action, Ayane Amamiya followed behind the three without saying a word, making sure they had crossed the An'gaku River and returned to the Land of Fire.

Watching the three legendary ninjas disappear quickly, Woodpecker asked, "Captain, what's next?"

Ayane Amamiya pondered for a moment, then instructed, "Let's wait until nightfall. If the Sannin haven't secretly returned, then send a message to the higher-ups!"

Although she felt that, given the pride of those three, they wouldn't do such a thing...

But the defensive heart is indispensable.

The woodpecker and the eagle had no objection.

And so it went until the moon was high in the sky, and the An Yue River remained quiet, flowing slowly across the land like a jade ribbon.

Without further hesitation, Ayane Amamiya waved her hand and said, "Send a message to the higher-ups that the Sannin have left the country, the Black Swan Squad's mission has been successfully completed, and they are awaiting further instructions!"
