Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Under the thin, dim moonlight.

Two figures moved swiftly through Iwagakure Village, one in front of the other.

"What should I do if Danzo is really as he says?"

With a mind in turmoil, Yakushi Nonou followed behind Amamiya Ayane, her heart filled with a thousand and one conflicting emotions.

"I can't go on like this... I have to find a way to break free from the root! If I stay in the darkness, there's absolutely no way I can fight Danzo!"

She was single-mindedly thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

So much so that she didn't even notice that Ayane Amamiya suddenly stopped.

"Why have you stopped?"

Yakushi Nonou raised her head.

The other vehicle stopped abruptly, and she almost crashed straight into it.

Looking up, I saw that the other person was staring at a small furniture store in the distance, remaining silent.

Yakushi Nonou instantly understood what was going on.

After all, she had been monitoring this place around the clock until tonight, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

pity.

I did catch a fish, but it seems I got dragged into the water too...

I really don't know if it's good or bad...

Yakushi Nonou was overwhelmed with mixed feelings!

She noticed the lights on in the furniture store in the distance.

The wandering witch temporarily set aside her worries about the orphanage and asked curiously, "Huh? Your spies are still here? Didn't they leave beforehand?"

Ayane Amamiya glanced at the figure moving in the window and said silently, "I guess she probably doesn't want to leave."

The raccoon was standing by the bedroom window on the second floor.

The distance is too far to see the specific situation clearly.

Only through the silhouette in the firelight could one see that she was holding a white swaddled baby, her body swaying gently and rhythmically.

"What is she singing? It's probably a lullaby, right?" Ayane Amamiya thought to herself.

Yakushi Nonou's mind raced.

Based on the information she had gathered, she quickly guessed why the other party was unwilling to leave.

"Spies are most afraid of developing emotions."

She sighed and shared her years of experience as an undercover agent: "Romantic relationships are alright, but often it's just playing along, to better cover up the truth—"

"But what I fear most is this kind of mother-child relationship."

Yakushi Nonou said slowly, "She probably has no feelings for her husband in name only, and when she got married, she was driven by a sense of mission to sacrifice for the country."

"But children are different; they are connected to you by blood."

"Who could bear to give up the little one they carried for ten months and brought into this world?"

"At a time like this, even if there were only the slightest chance of survival, she wouldn't be willing to abandon her child and leave alone."

So experienced?

You look like you're only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Ayane Amamiya glanced at her, and perhaps due to psychological factors, she actually saw a gentle maternal glow in the other's round face...

No wonder Kabuto Yakushi, despite having no blood relation to her, couldn't forget his hospital director mother.

The girl pursed her lips and turned to leave.

But after taking only a few steps, they stopped again.

She recalled the excitement and fervor on the raccoon's face when they first met.

Ayane Amamiya then flipped her hand and quickly formed a hand seal.

Earth Escape Technique: Earthquake Core!

This was originally just a C-level Earth Escape Technique.

The effect is simple: by using chakra to shake the soil, the enemy becomes unsteady.

But at the moment.

With the added benefits from the multiple stats on Ayane Amamiya's character panel, the power of her ninjutsu seems to be beyond imagination.

An invisible chakra flowed into the ground.

The once stable earth began to tremble slightly, as if a sleeping giant had been awakened.

Centered on the girl.

The area within a radius of thirty or forty meters was almost entirely covered by this ninjutsu!

Yakushi Nonou, who was standing on the roof tiles, stumbled and almost fell.

She quickly steadied herself and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing? Are you provoking the guard ninjas of Iwagakure?"

Ayane Amamiya still did not answer.

After releasing the Earth Release technique, she clapped her hands together and entered her Water Release domain, which she was most proficient in.

Water Release: Turbulent Water!

Large amounts of water condense underground and flow into the restless soil, transforming into powerful mud dragons, as if the earth dragons were turning over.

Karala~~

Even the foundations buried deep underground were shaken by this catastrophic force.

The building beneath our feet has begun to creak and groan incessantly.

"What's going on? Was there an earthquake?"

"Mom, my bed is shaking!"

"Are you kidding me? Earthquakes in the Land of Earth? There's nothing much here but rocks!"

A noisy commotion arose.

The silent night came alive in an instant.

In the pitch black, one light after another came on.

Many civilians living nearby were still unaware of the situation, sticking their heads out of their windows to look around, without thinking of escaping.

But what they didn't know was...

This moment of hesitation has become the final countdown of one's life.

Ayane Amamiya stood in the shadows, her hands clasped together.

Instead of canceling the technique, she brazenly increased the amount of chakra she used!

With the panel attributes greatly amplified, this ninjutsu, which combines Earth Release and Water Release, directly achieved a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts!

If someone were to look down from a high place at this moment.

Then one could see ripples spreading across the ground around Ayane Amamiya, rising in all directions.

Monsters formed from a mixture of water and earth, resembling dragons and snakes, rose from beneath the land, overturning the ground, cracking bricks and tiles, and destroying buildings!

"Run!"

"Damn it, this is unbelievable! A mudslide... actually happened in the village!?"

"These are ninjas! There must be enemies!"

The civilians realized what was happening and tried to escape, but it was too late.

This moment.

It was as if an unseen god sat in the sky with a brush, using the land of Iwagakure as a canvas and the most common soil and water in nature as ink, freely outlining his will!

The ground is cracking!

Building collapsed!

Trees fell!

The impact and destructive power of Earth Release and Water Release on the environment.

In those short dozen or so breaths, Ayane Amamiya displayed it to the fullest extent, almost like a natural disaster!

At least several dozen villagers from Yanyin were swallowed by the mud dragon and buried deep underground along with the collapsed buildings.

"Tanuki, this is all I can do for you."

The girl whispered to herself, "Whether I survive or not depends on my own fate."

Standing behind her, Yakushi Nonou, witnessing this catastrophic scene, silently swallowed and broke out in a cold sweat.

The difference in strength between ninjas is difficult to quantify with data, so most people cannot perceive the difference unless they see it with their own eyes.

But this does not change the fact that...

That is, sometimes the distance between ninjas is greater than that between a person and a dog!

Just like a ninja who has never seen Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju fight, they would never be able to imagine the immense power of Susanoo and the Great Buddha of the Thousand Hands.

Yakushi Nonou had a similar feeling at that moment.

I knew the other party was strong, but I didn't expect them to be this strong!

No, with your abilities already, why are you doing intelligence work?

While mentally criticizing the other party's "involution," she started racking her brains.

Yakushi Nonou, of course, didn't think that the other party simply had too much chakra in his body and nothing else to do.

Thinking of the furniture store in the distance, she quickly understood the other party's intention.

Yakushi Nonou looked at "Fire Rock" and said in a complicated tone, "I misspoke earlier. You're not a kind person. You're actually more cold-hearted than anyone else."

The other party had previously prevented him from killing the hostess at the brothel.

This led Yakushi Nonou to believe that the other person was a kind person.

But now, in order to cover his comrades who had not evacuated, he brazenly launched this large-scale ninjutsu right in the middle of Iwagakure!

What are the costs of doing this?

It's about the lives of dozens of innocent civilians around him, and the risks he faces on his escape!

In return, Iwagakure ignored the spies in the furniture store.

After all, no one would expect the enemy to attack where their own people are!

It was precisely because Yakushi Nonou understood these things that she called her cold and heartless.

This shows that they are not only indifferent to these innocent civilians, but also ruthless to themselves!

After hearing this, Ayane Amamiya didn't know how to respond.

This behavior...

If it were me when I first awakened my memories, I would definitely be extremely resistant to it!

But when it came to actually taking action, it was a natural progression, and he didn't realize anything was amiss emotionally.

At that moment, the sound of ninjas' hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance.

She no longer had time to indulge in such extravagance and waste.

The girl composed herself, grabbed Yakushi Nono, and with a swift movement, leaped into the boundless night, heading straight into the distance.
