Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

To be honest, Ayane Amamiya didn't know much about the Iwagakure ninja of this era.

If we calculate the time...

The famous explosive artist Deidara has not yet been born, and the flying leg shadow that was talked about in the previous life—Kurotsuchi—is now nowhere to be found.

They are slightly younger than Itachi Uchiha, and they won't be born for another seven or eight years!

Therefore, Ayane Amamiya is someone who can be considered memorable in Iwagakure today.

Besides the flying old man Onoki and the Jinchuriki of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, there was only that future Allied Shinobi Forces commander, Huang Tu...

However, Amegakure places great importance on Iwagakure.

The reason is simple: Ōnoki, who is not yet fifty years old, is still at the tail end of his peak as a ninja. He is ambitious, very driven, and enterprising!

to be honest.

They're always stirring up trouble and making their presence felt throughout the ninja world, a bit like that guy from my past life...

That's why the village's leadership was on high alert as soon as they received news of Iwagakure's military action.

"Even the Five-Tails Jinchuriki seems to have appeared on the border... Is Onoki really preparing for war?"

After reading the information, Ayane Amamiya destroyed it, her expression turning slightly grim.

From a rational perspective, she felt that Onoki's large-scale troop buildup wasn't for attacking Amegakure, after all, it was his own village...

It's a bit weak to keep quiet when you should say something.

It's not worth Iwagakure's full effort.

Hanzo the Salamander is indeed very strong.

However, according to Ayane Amamiya's personal perception, this demigod has not yet significantly widened the gap in strength between himself and the three "strong Kage-level" figures: the Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Hokage.

But then again...

It's precisely because Iwagakure is too powerful that she dares not gamble.

Who knows, Onoki might be using a feigned attack to simultaneously destroy the Land of Rain, and if he's unhappy with the plan, he could even take it all down with the Land of Rain...

"This intelligence report only provides the locations of Jonin Squad Leader Huang Tu and Steam Ninja Han, and it's hard to tell if it's true or false."

"For now, we'll prepare for the worst-case scenario."

Ayane Amamiya took a deep breath and commanded, "Therefore, the primary mission of this infiltration into the Land of Earth is to obtain strategic deployment intelligence from our spies! Secondly, we must ascertain the movements of the Tsuchikage, Onoki!"

The intelligence reports indicate that the Tsuchikage, Onoki, has not made a public appearance for several days.

This is highly suspicious!

After all, this old guy can fly!

However, as long as it is found that Onoki did not personally go to the border between the two countries of Tsuchiya and Ume, then there is still room for negotiation!

The eagle and the woodpecker exchanged a glance, both realizing the seriousness of the situation, and said in unison, "Understood!"

----------

It was as if a giant god wielding a jade axe had split the heavens and the earth, cleaving the entire mountain in two.

Two steep cliffs, hundreds of meters high, stand on either side, covered with strange rocks, and occasionally mountain monkeys can be seen climbing over them.

In the middle is a narrow mountain path, barely passable.

A caravan selling grain was slowly making its way through the area.

This narrow passage resembles the Valley of the End in the Land of Fire, but unlike the other, there are no traces of human intervention here; it is entirely the work of nature.

As Ayane Amamiya walked through it, she looked up and saw a sliver of blue sky and towering cliffs above, which inevitably made her feel a little insignificant.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The landscape of the ninja world is truly bizarre and wonderful."

Such a geographical landscape is unimaginable, let alone in the land of rain where it rains every day.

Even in a past life, this was a rare sight!

I heard that the Cloud Hidden's main camp is in a place called Cloud Thunder Gorge, which is at a particularly high altitude and is shrouded in clouds and mist all day long, standing shoulder to shoulder with the white clouds.

I wonder what the scenery is like there?

At first glance, it should be similar to the QZ Plateau in the previous life?

Tsk!

No wonder the Raikage is so dark-skinned; it turns out he's been exposed to ultraviolet rays.

"If I'm strong enough in the future, I must go to the Land of Lightning and climb to the highest peak of the ninja world! Let's see if I can reach for the moon in the heavens!"

The girl's mind raced, and a surge of ambition, like "wanting to rival the heavens," suddenly arose within her!

Anyway, the moon in the ninja world is of inferior quality!

The six realms are open to all, and so am I!

"Everyone, keep pushing! Once we get past this stretch, we can rest!" The caravan leader's voice came from ahead.

Then he fawned over them, saying, "My lords, bandits often roam this road. You've had a hard time."

Then a clear, energetic female voice replied, "Don't worry, Uncle, our Eighth Class has a 100% mission completion rate, there won't be any mistakes!"

"I believe you, little girl."

The leader laughed heartily: "Are all the ninjas in Iwagakure as well-behaved as you? Seriously, you guys are much easier to get along with than those arrogant guys from Konoha."

Upon hearing this, the three young boys and girls immediately straightened their chests with pride.

There is a sense of pride in winning glory for the country.

"Captain, these guys really are the Iwagakure mission squad."

Taking advantage of the moment when the ninjas' attention was diverted, Eagle stealthily approached and whispered in their ear, "Judging from the chakra fluctuations on their bodies, it's a typical one-against-three setup."

Ayane Amamiya nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

After purchasing the intelligence yesterday.

The three of them went to the local market, disguised themselves as ordinary samurai guards, and secretly infiltrated the grain caravan.

As a large caravan that traversed the three kingdoms of Fire, Earth, and Water.

While hiring a large number of guards, the person in charge also commissioned a task force from Iwagakure.

A middle-aged man with dark skin was the team leader.

The students consisted of two boys and one girl, all appearing to be in their early teens, and the lingering aura of 'innocent stupidity' about them was simply impossible to conceal...

This is the standard setup for a mission team in the ninja world, nothing out of the ordinary!

As for your question about why it's two men and one woman, and not two women and one man...

The answer might be a bit profound...

Ayane Amamiya subconsciously compared the combat strength of the two sides.

If we start a fight.

The three students were handed over to the woodpecker and the eagle, while they went to deal with the Jonin...

It seems like I'm under absolutely no pressure!

wrong.

I'm about the same age as these three students, so how did I come up with the idea of ​​challenging a Jonin...?

"Captain, what do you mean? Should we take action now?" Woodpecker asked quietly, pretending to drink water.

The ninja villages of the five great nations are generally equipped with sealing barriers.

However, apart from Konoha, which inherited the Uzumaki Sealing Technique, the sealing barriers of other countries are far less powerful. As long as one is willing to find a way, it is still possible to sneak in.

The simplest way is to kill someone and disguise yourself!

Konoha is a different story; they need to figure out the rotation information of the barrier squad and sneak in during the shift change.

Transformation techniques are completely useless against Byakugan and sensory barrier.

"Wait a little longer..."

Upon hearing the team member's question, Ayane Amamiya pondered for a moment: "There are too many people around now, it's really not advisable to act rashly. Let's wait until we reach the next stop and the caravan is resting before we make our move."

She had barely finished speaking when a strange thing happened!

Boom!

A loud explosion was heard.

As a devoted fan of explosive tags, Ayane Amamiya naturally recognized the sound as the sound of an explosive tag trap.

She feigned panic and quickly hid behind the carriage shaft, but in reality, she was observing secretly.

Swish swish~!

Accompanied by the whistling of kunai and shuriken, a group of mysterious ninjas wearing masks and cloaks suddenly appeared from around the corner!

The group headed straight for the Iwagakure mission team.

The other side was clearly prepared, having deliberately set up an ambush in this treacherous "narrow passage," leaving Iwagakure and the caravan with nowhere to escape!

The Black Swan team was all taken aback.

Which village's ninja is this, that they've come up with the same idea as us?

The caravan leader seemed very experienced.

The moment the ninja appeared, he knew that this matter was probably none of his business, so he immediately knelt down, closed his eyes, and shouted that he was surrendering.

The others followed suit, burying their heads in the ground like ostriches, completely unwilling to look at what was happening on the ninja's side.

"Which ninja village are you from? How dare you act so arrogantly in the Land of Earth!"

The Iwagakure Jonin also understood the situation; these people were clearly not bandits.

He shouted, threateningly, "Aren't you afraid of being hunted down and wanted by the secret police?"

However, the masked ninjas were as deaf as the others.

Without saying a word, they simply launched a relentless attack.

With a scream, the young female student was the first to fall into a pool of blood.

"Kotoko! No!"

"Aaaaah! Who are you?!"

His companion's heartbroken roar followed.

However, inexperienced students are simply too powerless when facing seasoned veterans like these ninjas.

Although anger temporarily boosted their strength, they soon fell one by one.

The mission team, which was laughing and joking not long ago, turned into cold corpses in an instant, leaving only the Jonin leading the team to put up a last-ditch resistance.

The reason for this description is that those masked ninjas acted in a rather methodical manner.

In terms of individual strength, they are probably not even as good as the Jonin of Iwagakure.

However, the teamwork among them was extremely meticulous, and they used a ninjutsu that resembled a barrier.

They forcibly confined the Iwagakure ninja to the spot, constantly wearing down his stamina and chakra!

Ayane Amamiya was no longer a novice when it came to sealing techniques. Although she hadn't yet unlocked the sealing technique's name, she had gained some understanding of it.

"It's a sealing technique, and a high-level one at that!"

A thought struck her, and she began to have a vague idea about the origins of those people.

Seeing that the Iwagakure Jonin was on his deathbed and about to fall, she immediately made up her mind.

"Let's do it!"

Ayane Amamiya gave a low shout, signaling her team to begin their operation.

Then she clapped her hands together, simply forming a Wu seal.

Driven by chakra, the viscous, gel-like liquid flowed forth in an instant!

Water Release: Water Release: Water Release!

This ninjutsu was originally developed by the special Jonin of Konoha Village in later generations, Shingetsu Izumo, and was a C-rank Water Release technique.

But now it has been used by Ayane Amamiya, this "otherworldly being"...

The principle behind the technique is actually not complicated.

It's simply about mixing chakra to give water properties similar to non-Newtonian fluids like magma and mudflows, thereby slowing down the enemy's movements.

Having already grasped the principle and acquired the attribute "Advanced Water Release Ninjutsu Mastery," Ayane Amamiya developed this technique from scratch in just three days!

but.

Using only one seal like that, it's practically instantaneous...

Even in the Land of Earth, a waterless environment...

That would be a bit too exaggerated!

"Oh no! There's another expert!"

The masked ninjas all had the same thought in their minds.

However, the ninjutsu was released too quickly, and they had to maintain the barrier. As a result, the water on the ground immediately flooded up to their feet, making movement extremely difficult.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this? I've never seen it before..."

They looked somewhat bewildered behind their masks.

However, these guys are indeed quite good.

Seeing the woodpecker charging towards them, although they were stuck in place and couldn't move easily, they weren't too panicked. Instead, they took out their kunai and stood back to back to fight back.

呲呲!

Sparks flew as the kunai collided!

Ninjutsu naturally does not distinguish between friend and foe.

But the woodpecker had long ago received guidance from Ayane Amamiya, and had attached chakra to the soles of its feet at a special frequency.

Shui Yina had negligible influence on him!

At this moment, he was fighting four opponents alone and even had a slight advantage.

The masked ninjas could only stand there, exhausted and unable to catch up or hit the woodpeckers, watching them flit about on the Shuiyina Plain like butterflies...

The woodpecker seized the opportunity, ready to strike a fatal blow on a masked ninja who had revealed a flaw.

Suddenly.

"Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!"

The earth suddenly churned, and the soil cracked.

Some of the liquid produced by the original Shuiyina was swallowed directly by the churning ground.

The ninja who was being targeted by the woodpecker suddenly felt his feet loosen and he gained his freedom!

Not only did the woodpecker's attack miss, but it almost got caught out and killed by its opponent!

Battles between ninjas are often this thrilling!

Although he was stronger than his opponent and reacted quickly enough to avoid injury, he was still instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Look up.

It turned out to be the Iwagakure Jonin, who was covered in wounds, using ninjutsu to try to break free from the sealing technique.

He burst into laughter from inside: "Are you friends from the village? Thank you for your help. I will repay you handsomely when I return to the village!"

Ayane Amamiya did not reply.

As soon as Shui Yina finished her spell, she took a heavy step, her foot leaving a deep crack on the carriage shaft, and leaped into the battlefield like a bird!

The girl exerted force from the soles of her feet, using her waist to drive her arms, and flipped her wrists.

The Storm Slash was drawn in mid-air, and by the time it landed, the ninja sword had already slashed out.

The entire movement was executed flawlessly in one go!

The pure white blade flashed, drawing a beautiful rainbow-like arc in the air!

The masked ninja, who had just broken free of his restraints, wanted to seize the opportunity to continue chasing the woodpecker, but his intuition warned him, making him panic.

The ninja immediately abandoned his pursuit of the woodpecker and looked up at the sky, where he saw the dazzling flash of light.

Bloodshot veins crept into his cloudy eyes, which were fixed intently on the sky. The kunai in his hand was poised to strike, all his attention focused on tracking the sharp blade...

"Here it is!"

With his heart pounding, the masked ninja didn't even have time to feel joy after catching the attack.

That's it!

His adrenaline surged, and with all his might, he accurately blocked the kunai in its intended position.

The expected clash of weapons did not occur.

"How could this be? I clearly found it..."

Arashiki descended from the sky!

A knife!

Decapitate!

The masked ninja's head rolled away like a ball, leaving a bewildered look in his eyes.

An aesthetic of extreme violence is fully embodied in this moment!

The woodpecker's situation went through many ups and downs, and his heart pounded with each turn.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, even happier than when he first married his wife!

"Is this what it feels like to have a strong teammate to back you up? No need to worry about life or death at all...it's so awesome!"

finally......

I experienced the joy of being a ninja once again!

Ayane Amamiya's attacks were swift and unstoppable, completely ignoring the masked ninja's resentment before his death. Like a tiger descending a mountain, she pounced on her next target.

[Successfully killed an experienced Chunin]

[Achievement Points +96!]

[Successfully killed an experienced Chunin]

[Achievement Points +84!]

The prompts on the panel kept popping up.

Amamiya Ayane is like a tiger among sheep, often killing someone in just a few moves!

Because the masked ninjas were as if under a genjutsu, they couldn't figure out the origin of her moves at all.

The ninja sword, Storm Slash, seemed to be hidden in the void!

One second, the ninjas could see it appearing in the distance, but the next second, the blade flashed right in front of their chests...

There was absolutely no trace of the opponent's moves!

How the hell do I fight this?

"The captain's strength has improved again, and not just in ninjutsu..."

Witnessing this scene, the woodpecker couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "What is this? Is it a secret ninjutsu? Or some kind of illusion technique that interferes with the senses?"

As a pure taijutsu-type Jonin, he couldn't understand Ayane Amamiya's sword techniques at all.

Every move and every stance.

Like a gazelle hanging its horns, perfectly seamless.

Like the sword masters in ancient poems and haiku who specialize in slaying demons and monsters.

If it weren't for the fact that I'd seen Ayane Amamiya cover her sword with water during a regular training session, I might have thought it was some kind of divine technique...

Such a rate of progress...

"I have a feeling I'm about to witness the birth of some extraordinary person..."

He muttered something to himself, then threw out several shuriken, put aside his distractions, and charged forward side by side.

With the two working together...

Soon, all eight masked ninjas who had attacked earlier were killed.

The surviving Iwagakure Jonin finally emerged from the sealing barrier. He swallowed hard and exclaimed, "Hahaha, you two brothers are amazing!"

The laughter seemed hearty, but in reality, the footsteps were subtly retreating.

The ninjas of Iwagakure were all rugged men, just like me, who diligently worked as mortar workers and bricklayers.

Where can you find a master who is proficient in both water escape techniques and swordsmanship?

His outward appearance was merely a pretense.

Otherwise, the timing of that Earth-Splitting Palm move wouldn't have been so coincidental!

"I think you're a pretty good Jonin too."

Ayane Amamiya stood amidst the corpses, wiping the gleaming blade of her knife with her sleeve. Her tone was slow and deliberate, yet brooked no argument: "I'll give you some dignity. Take your own life."

"What?"

The Iwagakure Jonin was stunned for a moment, then felt utterly humiliated.

I admit that your water escape technique is very powerful and your swordsmanship is extraordinary, but do you look down on me that much?

Just as he was about to retort, a thought suddenly struck him.

"No! This person is saying that to get my attention."

"He's definitely preparing some kind of underhanded trick!"

With a quick thought, his cleverness kicked in.

Seeing Ayane Amamiya's composed demeanor, the Jonin felt increasingly uneasy!

"Earth Release: Fish Reflected in the Earth Technique!"

In order to ensure stability, the ninja's body collapsed rapidly like a melting candle, merging into the earth.

Seeing this, Ayane Amamiya remained calm and even smiled slightly.

You fell for it so easily?!

Was I putting too much pressure on him? Or was his mental fortitude too weak?

She sheathed her sword, glanced at her two teammates without turning her head, and said softly, "Let's proceed according to the plan we agreed on earlier!"

The eagle blinked: "Huh? Wasn't that person just now...?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a muffled thunderous sound came from the ground.

Roar!

The ground cracked open, and a graceful water dragon carrying the corpse of the Iwagakure ninja soared into the sky!

The woodpecker suddenly realized what was going on.

He then explained, "Eagle, did you notice? Part of the ninjutsu the captain just used was tumbled underground by that guy. But actually, the water didn't disappear; it just lay dormant like an underground river."

He laughed, "That guy tried to escape using earth magic, but he forgot the trap he set up earlier and ran right into it, walking right into a snare!"

"What if he doesn't run away?" the eagle asked in return after understanding.

Ayane Amamiya shook her head and added, "It's the same. If he doesn't choose to go underground, I will also take advantage of the time he is talking to me to condense a water clone underground and launch a sneak attack."

Ultimately, it's because the new purple stats are too powerful.

In a waterless environment, it is not only easy to use the technique of producing water to capture the source.

Even through the ground, the flow of water can be controlled to some extent!

I wonder how terrifying the next level of red-level ninjutsu, [Celestial Phenomenon Ninjutsu - Water], will be!

The eagle was dumbfounded after hearing this.

Ayane is so beautiful, but she's so cunning when she fights!

Sure enough, the prettier the person, the more likely they are to lie!

Luckily, she and I aren't enemies!

Ayane Amamiya smiled, and seeing that the two still wanted to talk, she urged, "Alright, it's time to get down to business and carry out the mission!"

She chuckled softly: "Remember, we are now the Iwagakure mission team, followed by the Konoha ninjas, and lastly the Rain Country's Black Swan squad."

Although the masked ninjas did not reveal their identities.

However, the sealing technique they used earlier, as well as the seal of the tongue that severed the root of calamity, clearly indicated their identities.

The two team members exchanged a glance, let out a sinister laugh, and said in unison, "Understood!"

Bang bang bang!

Three puffs of white smoke exploded, and the three transformed back into the two male students and the Jonin leading the mission team from Iwagakure.

The boy, who had transformed from an eagle, dramatically ran to his teammate's corpse and began wailing loudly, "Koto! No! No! Wake up! Koto~! How can I live without you?!"

Ayane Amamiya was speechless at the sight.

She shook her head and shouted to the caravan members in the distance, "The enemy is dead, everything is alright! Everyone can continue onward."

The caravan leader then abandoned his ostrich-like, head-down pose.

He rose shakily, glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, and immediately began to praise without hesitation: "The Lord is mighty! Iwagakure is mighty!"

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya smiled slightly and released her grip on the ninja sword.

Is this the survival wisdom of ordinary people?

Yeah.

She just didn't want to kill anyone today.
