Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

The unexpected turn of events in the private room caught everyone off guard.

One second the drinking party was full of joy, the next the party turned into chaos!

One person collapsed and remained unconscious, while the fate of another remained unknown.

"what!"

As blood gushed from Tu Jie's neck, the maids cried out in alarm.

But less than a moment after the sound was emitted.

The maids were so overwhelmed by a powerful killing intent that they trembled violently, unable to utter a word.

This "Overflowing Killing Intent" stat is really useful for crushing newbies!

"Dogashi-sama?"

Hearing the shouts, a waiter outside the private room asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Ayane Amamiya was about to speak to deal with the situation.

The witch spy from the Root calmly pinched her throat and made a sound exactly like Tsuchiguchi: "Cough cough, it's nothing, I just had a little accident while trying out a new trick."

"Ah? I see..."

"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy. You don't need to serve us here."

She captured the character of Tu Jie perfectly.

His tone was both impatient and agitated as he loudly reprimanded, "Don't stand here, you're spoiling the enjoyment of me and the ladies."

"Well... I hope you have a good time, sir."

The waiter seemed to have grasped something, his reply filled with an implicit "I understand, I understand," and a hint of envy.

Ayane Amamiya felt a sense of admiration as she watched.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a seasoned spy; despite the extremely dangerous intelligence work, she manages to exude an air of effortless elegance.

I'm such a reckless person, I could never learn that!

After the waiter had completely left.

Ayane Amamiya stood up, her sharp eyes fixed on the other woman: "Walking shrine maiden! You were the one who planted our informant back then? You've been watching me ever since the furniture store incident?"

The priestess did not rush to answer.

Instead, he picked up the knife and fork on the table and walked towards the group of women trembling in the corner.

Ayane Amamiya frowned upon seeing this.

She simply clasped her hands together, fingers touching, forming a mudra.

The small amount of sake in the cup rose up and transformed into streams of water in the air, knocking all the maids unconscious.

Upon seeing this, the shrine maiden's eyes lit up considerably.

This person's strength is truly remarkable; even within Root, where the average ninja quality is extremely high, he would rank among the top.

All my efforts were worthwhile!

"I didn't realize you were so kind."

She had no choice but to abandon her plan to silence them, and remarked with a sigh, "But in the intelligence field, the more soft-hearted a person is, the less likely they are to become an excellent spy—"

"—This is a reminder from a senior." The shrine maiden smiled faintly.

"Thank you for the advice."

Ayane Amamiya ignored her words and instead kept twirling the blood-stained kunai on her finger.

The words carried a strong threat: "Also, you didn't answer my question."

"Well, that's quite obvious."

Upon hearing this, the priestess calmly replied, "After the secret agents who were supposed to meet me failed to show up by the agreed date, I knew something must have happened to them."

"Without their support, it would be extremely difficult for me to send information out of Iwagakure by myself."

"I had no choice but to keep an eye on you guys, hoping to hitch a ride."

The priestess clearly stated her purpose: "As you can see, I am a ninja from Kirigakure or Amegakure. I have come to seek your cooperation."

"Um?"

Ayane Amamiya was taken aback by what he heard, but she quickly realized that most ninjas skilled in water-style ninjutsu came from these two ninja villages.

Of course, one white-haired Thousand Hands is an exception.

"How do we cooperate?" Ayane Amamiya asked calmly.

"I have intelligence on all of Iwagakure's military deployments on the front lines. I gathered this information secretly while infiltrating Rokuka's inner circle."

The shrine maiden calmly said, "And what you most want to know: the exact location of the Tsuchikage, Onoki! Shouldn't that be enough of a bargaining chip?"

Strategic defense maps are of immense value.

Although it cannot be applied 100% in actual combat, it can reveal the approximate distribution of the enemy's forces, allowing you to avoid their main force and strike their weak points.

The exact location of Onoki is of paramount importance.

Because if a fight really breaks out.

Hanzo the Salamander could have used this intelligence to create a time difference and launch a surprise attack on the Iwagakure forces.

of course.

This kind of desperate action is usually taken when the situation is extremely dire.

Otherwise, Hanzo the Salamander could take advantage of his intelligence to do the first day of the month, and Onoki, who could fly, could use his mobility to do the fifteenth day of the month.

Ayane Amamiya pondered for a moment, and immediately felt a little tempted.

But unwilling to be completely outmaneuvered in the negotiations, she countered, "You've revealed such crucial information to me. Aren't you afraid of being discovered later and facing repercussions from Root or Danzo?"

Ayane Amamiya deliberately revealed the names of Root and Danzo.

The subtext is that I am not entirely ignorant of you.

"You actually know about roots?"

The priestess's tone did indeed change slightly, and her eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"The Root's intelligence reports that Kirigakure is a secluded country that rarely interacts with the outside world."

"So you're from Amegakure's Anbu?"

She quickly guessed Ayane Amamiya's background, and then smiled and said, "However, although Root has been working semi-independently under the leadership of Danzo, it is still ultimately under the command of the Anbu."

"Who says the Amegakure's Anbu isn't an Anbu?"

The priestess said with a serious expression, "Who is in the Dark Guard is not important to me at all, because as a spy, I am only responsible for making contact and passing on information."

Does this work too?

Ayane Amamiya admitted that she was stunned by her "mayor's wife theory".

As expected of a veteran spy, he possesses a remarkably flexible moral compass.

Ayane Amamiya hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, "So, what are your terms for cooperation...?"

"Take me away from the Land of Earth!"

The shrine maiden's usually impassive face finally showed a slight change. She adjusted her round-framed glasses and said earnestly, "I need you to help me cross the border and enter the Land of Waterfall. I will find my own way back to Konoha afterward."

Seeing this, Ayane Amamiya twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that left Ayane completely bewildered.

I've caught you out.

Miss Shrine Maiden...

This move is so classic!

So much so that Ayane Amamiya recognized the other person's identity the instant she saw him.

I had always felt that the title "Walking Shrine Maiden" sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite place its origin.

But now that I look at it, isn't this the headmistress of Kabuto Yakushi's mother?

Even the gesture of adjusting their glasses is consistent!

"It seems there's someone very important to the shrine maiden in Konoha..."

Ayane Amamiya's tone suddenly became amusing.

This playful tone.

The shrine maiden, who had initially felt confident of victory, suddenly experienced a subtle change in her mood.

Another 'Fire Rock' attack.

The water clones from all directions also converged, forming a circle that surrounded the priestess, creating a powerful sense of oppression.

Ayane Amamiya coldly replied, "Give me your information now. I need to determine whether your information is true or false before making a judgment!"

"impossible!"

Without a second thought, the priestess revealed all her trump cards.

She wanted to say something more.

But Ayane Amamiya coldly interrupted, "I'm not bargaining with you, and you have no right to discuss things with me now."

She lowered her head.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered a threatening tone, "Miss Pharmacist, you don't want to never be able to return to Konoha and never see the adorable children in the orphanage again, do you?"

!!!

Yakushi Nonou shuddered. The feeling of complete control she had been in vanished, replaced by a cold sweat that she couldn't stop running down her back.

At this moment, the situation reversed!
