Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 67 Ayane Amamiya: This strike, beware of arrogance and impatience!

At first, Ayane Amamiya thought that this was the work of the Anbu of Sunagakure.

It was a small warning issued by the other party after they realized that he and Yudou wanted to spy on the ninja hospital.

But she quickly dismissed her own guess.

Firstly, it is a normal practice for ninjas to collect information from each other.

Everyone relies on their own abilities; I'll investigate mine, and you can hide yours.

As long as you don't cross the line, there's no need to make things unpleasant during this special period.

For example, the Hidden Cloud Village used peace talks as a pretext to gather intelligence (bloodline limit) on the Hidden Leaf Village!

Secondly, in her perception, the guy behind her was deliberately avoiding the direction of the Sand Village's Anbu while tracking her, as if he was trying to avoid their gaze.

Ayane Amamiya's sensory ninjutsu has a limited range.

Fearing she might be wrong, she deliberately took several detours.

After these repeated tests, she was certain that the two sides were not the same group at all!

That makes things much easier!

Since you're not from Sunagakure, you must be an enemy!

If they are enemies, then they are easy to deal with!

Pick up a knife and just chop!

Ayane Amamiya picked up the rain bucket with one hand and secretly formed a hand seal with the other.

After a few leaps, he deliberately took a long detour, slipping through a narrow alley.

Not long after the girl walked away.

Step, step, step.

A soft footstep sounded.

A burly figure draped in a gray robe appeared at the alley entrance, and stopped in his tracks upon seeing the empty alley.

Did we lose them?

The man in the gray robe muttered to himself.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a gust of wind suddenly swept from behind him!

The man in the gray robe sneered inwardly.

I anticipated this trick!

Secret Technique: Sand Transformation!

With a "rip," the clothes on his back burst open!

Black iron sand instantly covered his back, like wearing a thick layer of armor, as solid as a city wall.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

A sickening scraping sound came from behind.

The several water jets that came from behind, after a series of thrusts, ultimately failed to break through the sand defense and fell helplessly to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, the gray-robed man leaped up from the ground!

The wind blew off his cloak, revealing his true face hidden in the shadows.

It has two tentacles on its head, four arms on its sides, and its entire body is made of black iron skin...

This is not a human at all, but a puppet disguised as a human!

No wonder the gray-robed man was so burly!

The ninja's true form is actually hidden within this magnificent puppet!

Puppet Technique: Kunai Barrage!

The gray-robed man opened his mouth and frantically sprayed kunai in the direction the water gun was coming from.

Shadow clones?

No! It's just an ordinary water clone.

Bang!

Ayane Amamiya's water clones were bombarded by a barrage of kunai and exploded.

The gray-robed man landed lightly.

He thought to himself: I need to finish this quickly! However, since the water clone has appeared here, the real person must be nearby too!

We need to finish this quickly! The Sand Village's Anbu will notice something amiss and arrive within half a minute at most!

Skillful.

At that moment, Ayane Amamiya's thoughts and the gray-robed man's thoughts were exactly the same!

The girl was standing in the shadows of the alley.

The reason they were able to hide so well and remain undetected is...

It was because of a thin film of water that spread from the blade of the sword in his hand and covered his entire body.

The still water flows silently.

It not only completely covered her breathing and her heartbeat, but also concealed the reflection of outside light.

It's like creating a new little world!

"Where exactly is it?"

The man in the gray robe paced quietly through the alley, carefully observing every corner.

Tap!

Suddenly, a soft sound came from the side.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small pebble roll out of his field of vision.

At the same time, a cold light descended from the sky!

Kasaya Slash!

Ayane Amamiya descended from the sky like a celestial being.

She swung her sword suddenly from right to left. The water on the Storm Cutter absorbed the sunlight, and when it fell through the air, there wasn't even a sound of wind!

It wasn't until the gray-robed man could no longer hide that he finally stopped.

That explosive killing intent now emanated from the blade, as deep and terrifying as an abyss!

And it wasn't until then.

The man in the gray robe belatedly raised his head, as if he had finally understood what had happened.

Within the sight of Ayane Amamiya falling from the sky.

He opened his mouth, his face filled with astonishment.

But in reality...

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

A ball of high-pressure air was expelled from the puppet's mouth!

Before the raging storm even reached her face, it whipped Ayane Amamiya's red hair into a fluttering sound, and her face felt as if it were being cut by knives.

The young girl remained calm despite the danger.

In the nick of time, she deflected her blade and simultaneously stomped her foot on the alley wall, using the reaction force to trace a light and graceful arc in the air.

With a swift, reverse slash, he struck straight at the back!

The man in the gray robe sneered at the sight.

Did you think changing your offensive would work? Wasn't the lesson from before enough? You actually thought you could break through my defense from behind?

Overcome!

Then I'll make you give up completely!

Puppet Technique: Sand Armor Protection!

Countless streams of yellow sand flowed from the puppet's joints in an instant, automatically gathering on its back, like supporting a tortoise shell.

Seeing this, Ayane Amamiya also smiled.

She held a knife in one hand and made a hand seal in front of her chest with the other.

Water Release: Water Instantaneous Body!

Whoosh!

It's as if time and space have been interrupted.

The girl's slender figure, along with her ninja sword, suddenly vanished.

The next instant, she suddenly appeared in front of the gray-robed puppet's chest, continuing the attack from before!

The same posture as just a moment ago!

It's still the same...

The familiar kasaya-zaki!

A single, decisive blow!

The blade of the Storm Cutter pierced through his chest!

Then, with an overwhelming momentum, like cutting through waves and sweeping away thousands of troops, it slid down forcefully.

The metal puppet's skin made a rustling sound, like rotten cowhide being torn apart, as it was sliced ​​vertically by a sharp blade.

The gray-robed puppet's movements froze instantly.

The yellow sand that had been gathering behind them lost its control and fell down in a rustling sound, while bright red blood gradually seeped out from the puppet.

[Successfully killed a Jonin-level puppeteer!]

[Achievement Points +245!]

"With this level of skill, you dare to come and follow me?"

Is it because they think I'm the youngest and weakest among the Rain Shadow Guards that they've targeted me?

Ayane Amamiya let out a soft "Ah."

Because she was afraid of making too much of a commotion, she didn't even use her most proficient large-scale water escape technique.

Even so, the opponent was not even one of his three opponents!

Despite the fact that it went so smoothly, a large part of the credit is due to the first kill from the Water Instantaneous Body.

However, after returning from Iwagakure, and after a month and a half of reflection, and with the added benefit of newly learned ninjutsu...

I've become stronger again!

She was absolutely certain of this.

Ayane Amamiya bent down and slightly turned the body over.

Aside from some standard ninja tools, there was nothing that could prove their identity or origin.

The person who came was clearly prepared, and it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision!

However, regarding the other party's purpose...

Ayane Amamiya had a guess in her mind.

Before being sent to Sunagakure, I was completely unknown.

What attracts people, besides his face, is his identity as a Rain Shadow Guard.

Do you want to attack me in order to infiltrate tomorrow's meeting and cause trouble or sabotage?

The girl thought to herself: "That's a pretty good idea, kind of like Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan..."

The high-profile meeting between Hanzo of the Salamander and the Third Kazekage is attracting worldwide attention given the current state of the ninja world.

In terms of suspicion of sabotaging the talks, any ninja village could be involved.

But the most likely candidate is still an old friend of Ayane Amamiya...

The root of Konoha from Danzo Shimura...

Just as she was about to leave, a detached voice came from the side.

"Wow, that was really exciting!"

Ayane Amamiya turned her head and saw a red-haired boy jumping down from the roof, his hands in his pockets, coldly watching the scene before him.

He had a handsome appearance, carried an eye-catching large scroll on his back, and wore shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.

Sasori of the Red Sand?!

There is absolutely no need for the other party to introduce themselves.

Ayane Amamiya recognized the person in front of her at a glance without even having to think.

The scorpion is not very old now.

He seemed to be about the same height as me, but he wasn't as tall as me, and overall he looked like a handsome young boy...

"Where did this brat come from?"

Ayane Amamiya said calmly, "Didn't your teachers at school tell you? Always be careful to stay away from ninjas, or you'll suffer!"

Scorpion ignored her sarcasm.

Instead, he continued, "Although he's a spy from another village, harboring ill intentions and planning to cause trouble, he is, after all, one of the village's puppeteers—"

The boy suddenly flipped his palm, his fingertips dancing in the air as if pulling invisible threads.

"A puppeteer from Sunagakure is not to be punished by someone like you from Amegakure!"

Reel-operated secret techniques - two-machine operation demonstration!

With a "whoosh" sound!

The scroll behind Scorpion unfurled rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, two tall puppets appeared beside him, standing like gatekeepers.

The scorpion's arm trembled continuously.

The black ant puppet on the left lay on the ground, its limbs moving rapidly as it crawled, making a crackling sound as it moved, which was quite terrifying.

However, Ayane Amamiya stood proudly in place, neither retreating nor yielding, as if she hadn't seen anything.

Her arrogant attitude further enraged Scorpion.

Scorpion flicked his wrist, about to deliver a vicious blow!

Suddenly, he felt that the chakra threads, which he used to control with ease, had become light and airy, and he almost lost control of them.

Scorpion's calm expression suddenly changed.

What's going on?!

Was the chakra thread severed?

Chakra quickly swirled around his fingertips, spreading along the puppet strings.

No, that's not right...

The black ant puppet suddenly became lighter!

What kind of ninjutsu is this?

Ayane Amamiya chuckled softly, "Never seen the Iwagakure's Light and Heavy Rock Techniques before, have you?"

The black ant was now within arm's reach of her.

But this one step is precisely what Scorpion cannot overcome in a short time.

Controlling the puppet that suddenly became lighter was not difficult for him.

But in this situation, the black ant becomes as soft as cotton. Can it still pose a threat to the other party?

"Little friend, don't think you're something special just because you're a genius."

The girl said indifferently, "The ninja world is so vast, there are bound to be people you can't afford to offend!"

Clang!

Arashiki, who had already sheathed his sword and retired, drew it from its sheath once again.

Her voice turned cold, and her face turned icy: "Little brat... this strike will teach you a lesson in humility and impetuosity!"

The words fell.

Ayane Amamiya flashed by.

Scorpion's pupils contracted, and his attention instantly became extremely tense!

Let alone the instinct to swallow saliva...

He even stopped breathing!

Is it coming soon?

It's that move again, the Body Flicker Technique that's so fast it's almost impossible to catch!

Sasori had noticed Ayane Amamiya's incredible speed in a blink of an eye earlier.

Therefore, no matter how angry the boy was, he only used one puppet to attack, keeping the crow by his side for protection.

That's exactly what I was prepared for!

Let's see if your sword is faster, or my puppet!

In that instant.

The beautiful girl wielding the sword seems to have been imagined by Sasori as an enemy from Konoha who also loved swords. Perhaps they died under White Fang's swift blade back then!

The boy's world was completely silent at this moment.

Only that person, that knife, and my own heart pounding in my ears!

next second.

She appeared in Scorpion's sight with terrifying speed.

The hilt is at the back, and the blade is at the front!

The target is my own neck!

So fast!

But... I've got you!

Extreme joy blossomed in the heart of the scorpion.

His originally handsome face was now adorned with a maniacal laugh that looked almost like he was about to collapse!

The puppet crow swiftly extended its two arms, blocking the sharp blades while six more high-speed spinning blades slashed towards the girl's ribs!

Hahahahahaha!

I won!

boom!

A cloud of white smoke exploded.

The girl's figure dissipated in the air, and in the last second, she revealed a triumphant smirk.

!!!

Scorpion hadn't yet recovered from his ecstasy.

A furious roar came from behind.

"Scorpion, what on earth have you done!?"

It turned out that the ANBU ninjas, who had sensed the abnormality, had rushed over from a distance.

They stared at the puppeteer lying dead on the ground, the black ant puppet frozen beside the corpse, and the maniacal laughter frozen on the scorpion's face...

Everything goes without saying.

All the evidence seemed to point to Scorpion killing him...

"How dare you kill your fellow villagers?!"

The leader of the secret service was both shocked and furious: "You're so young, how could you... how could you do such a thing?"

Sasori was extremely famous in Sunagakure, and many ninjas knew this beloved grandson of Chiyo's advisor.

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

The ANBU ninja reached out his hand, intending to subdue him.

Scorpion coldly pushed him away.

He took another deep breath, his smile fading as he said calmly, "He's a spy from another village."

The ANBU ninja was taken aback.

But he didn't say much, instead coldly stating, "Until the situation is clarified, no matter what, I must take you under control and await Lord Kazekage's further decision!"

Having said that, the squad leader glared at his men: "Aren't you going to move out yet?"

Several ANBU ninjas stepped forward hesitantly and tied up Sasori.

The boy did not resist.

But a surge of anger welled up within him.

It's not because of this ridiculous smear of killing one's own comrades.

Instead, as a genius puppeteer, he found an incredibly familiar feeling in this encounter.

The other party held a silk thread...

And I am just a puppet on the other end of the thread!

From initial apprehension to subsequent excitement and elation...

Any action that seems confident is actually part of the other party's plan!

That guy never even revealed his true form; he just used a shadow clone to completely outmaneuver me!

This is an unparalleled disgrace for a puppeteer who is used to controlling everything!

very good!"

He murmured to himself, "Ninja from Amegakure, I'll remember you!"
