Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

As the sun began to set, its rays bathed Ayane Amamiya in warmth.

According to the original owner's routine, he would always prepare a pot of wine before returning home.

So she had no choice but to go to the village market and take a quick look around.

Although the Land of Earth is a remote place.

However, as one of the five great nations, Iwagakure remains a top-tier prosperous village.

Street vendors hawking their wares, throngs of pedestrians coming and going, and children running around and playing—all sorts of everyday life unfolds before your eyes.

Occasionally, a few young kids would boldly pull him over to be the referee for the ninja games.

From this perspective...

The villagers of Iwagakure seem much kinder than the "Konoha scoundrels" I saw in my previous life's manga...

After finishing the drinks, I also bought a local specialty called "Rock Skin Cake".

As Ayane Amamiya ate her pancakes, she walked towards her lodgings, all the while pondering how to make contact with the village's spies.

"The spy trained by the goat is ostensibly the owner of a furniture store, and he has supply relationships with various government departments within Iwagakure, which is why he is able to gather intelligence."

Ayane Amamiya thought to herself, "It's too late now; things might become suspicious."

She decided to go there tomorrow morning.

Tonight, we'll use it to scout the surrounding environment, plan our retreat route, and be ready to make a quick getaway at any time.

We arrived at Huoyan's house.

Pushing open the door, a faint musty smell wafted out.

Fortunately, Huoyan is unmarried.

Otherwise, she might also have to deal with close family members like her wife and children, which would be too much of a burden for a novice like her.

While resting in bed, the girl had a sudden inspiration.

"No, I'm already here..."

"One cannot truly be selfless and devoted to public service!"

"I have to complete the tasks assigned by the goat, but I can't neglect my own personal matters! What good person goes on a business trip without bringing along a little something personal?"

She rolled over and jumped off the bed.

Then they rummaged through the house and quickly found the colorful ninjutsu scrolls!

These should all be the original owner Huoyan's stock.

Amamiya Ayane patiently opened them one by one.

Rank B Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall...

C-rank Earth Release: Earth Splitting Palm...

There's also the Earth Dragon Concealment Technique, and the Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique...

Ayane Amamiya's heart pounded, her face flushed, and she was even more excited than when she cuddled with Minami and Risa Takenaka while sleeping!

She opened the last roll.

Rank B Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique!

This is a real windfall!

According to the statistics, there are two B-rank ninjutsu and six C-rank ninjutsu, all of which are Earth Release techniques!

What was that saying again?

A man can't get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse can't get fat without night grazing!

Ayane Amamiya quickly unrolled all the scrolls and began to memorize their contents one by one, engraving them into her mind.

As for taking it away...

Let's forget about that.

It is said that advanced ninjutsu scrolls have related engraved magic circles, which are easily detected by the village's barrier, in order to prevent them from being stolen.

Therefore, she dared not gamble.

They continued like this until dawn.

Ayane Amamiya clasped her hands together and formed several hand seals. Soon, a humanoid clone made of clay slowly rose from the ground in the courtyard outside the house.

"Earth clones and water clones are quite similar; this one is quick to learn."

"Unfortunately, having gotten used to the simplified hand seals provided by the Water Release technique, I'm finding this slow pace a bit unsettling."

She smiled with satisfaction and dispersed the earth clones in the courtyard.

This kind of ninjutsu, which I got for free, feels really good to use.

If she weren't at the Iwagakure headquarters, where she had to stay alert at all times, she would have loved to laugh out loud with a sense of triumph.

----------

"My lord, we've finally waited for you!"

A few hours later.

In the warehouse of the Shimamura Furniture Store, a voluptuous young woman was staring fervently at the dark-faced man in front of her.

Tanuki, 22 years old, is the founder and owner of Shimamura Furniture Store.

But at the same time, she is also a spy sent by Amegakure, and has been lurking in Iwagakure for nearly ten years.

Ayane Amamiya remained expressionless and nodded in response.

In reality, multiple earthen clones were silently condensed underground as a precaution.

Unfortunately, intelligence indicated that Tanuki had already married and had children in Iwagakure, forcing her to consider the possibility that he had secretly defected to the enemy.

However, there was nothing unusual in the surroundings.

This increased her trust in the raccoon.

"No need for all that nonsense."

She stopped the tanuki, who was about to bow, and asked, "Have you gotten the information?"

The tanuki scratched its head awkwardly: "We're here, but not quite..."

Ayane Amamiya frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I had already gathered intelligence on Iwagakure's strategic troop movements."

"But an accident happened, and now only half of it remains."

Tanuki pulled out half a scroll and said guiltily, "I suspect I've been exposed! However, it wasn't the ninjas from Iwagakure who discovered my identity, but rather a spy sent by another side who caught me out."

A spy from the other side?

Ayane Amamiya's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly thought of the group of Root ninjas who had suddenly jumped out.

Then Tanuki recalled, "That night I went to the Iwagakure archives to make copies of information, and everything was going smoothly. But just as I was leaving, I was suddenly ambushed by another mysterious person."

"Fortunately, we were lucky that day. One of the patrol members had an upset stomach and suddenly ran to the nearby toilet. We accidentally startled him away."

The raccoon smiled bitterly: "Looking back now, I'm afraid I was already exposed to that person. He was watching me the whole time, waiting for me to make a move, so he could double-cross me."

What a meticulous mind.

Amamiya Ayane thought to herself, "As expected of a Root spy, just like Danzo, his main tactic is treachery."

By intercepting intelligence and then sending out Amegakure's spies to draw attention, one's safety is greatly improved, whether one makes a successful retreat or continues to lie low!

Taking the remaining half of the scroll, I found that the contents were indeed fragmented.

It's not that it's useless, but it's certainly not as important as you might think.

"What's your guess about that person's hidden identity?"

The raccoon shook its head, looking completely bewildered.

Seeing this, Ayane Amamiya dared not linger.

Now that the tanuki has been exposed, it's in danger too!

The Root spy who saw through the tanuki's identity will likely also notice him.

She looked at the young tanuki and gave him a heartfelt piece of advice: "If possible, you should leave as soon as possible. It's no longer safe here in Iwagakure."

Whether the raccoon cat listened or not, it simply nodded and replied, "Thank you for reminding me, sir."

Ayane Amamiya didn't say anything more, put away the scroll, and turned to leave.

"Croak! Croak!"

As I was leaving the store, I suddenly heard the chirping of birds from behind me.

She looked back and saw a bird of unknown species flying away from the eaves of the house, screeching loudly.

A shadow silently crept into my heart.

seriously.

In that instant, Ayane Amamiya really wanted to pull a kunai out of her pocket and shoot the bird down.

But after glancing at the bustling crowd around her, she could only suppress her irritation and turn away as if nothing had happened.
