Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 84 Sealing Techniques and the Twelve Guardian Ninjas

So they weren't the ones who stole my food!

Faced with Kushina's question, the girl added a piece of wood to the campfire and calmly replied, "Ayane Amamiya."

"I see..."

'

The fiery red chili pepper's expression clearly showed disappointment, as if she hadn't heard the answer she wanted.

Seeing this, Ayane Amamiya thought to herself: It seems that Tsunade didn't leak my information after returning from the Land of Rain.

If the other party had revealed their existence, Kushina Uzumaki probably wouldn't have asked the question in that way.

"And what about him?"

Kushina then pointed to Sasori in the distance: "What's his name?"

Ayane Amamiya stared at her intently, and from the other's eyes, she guessed what Kushina was thinking.

The girl immediately dashed her hopes, simply replying, "His name is Sasori, and he's the grandson of Chiyo, a senior advisor in Sunagakure."

Uzumaki Kushina: "6

'

Okay, that's not it either.

She picked up the kunai in a sullen voice and drew meaningless patterns on the ground, making a creaking sound.

"Are you all here to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

Mikoto Uchiha is a gentle-looking girl with long, waist-length black hair, and you can hardly tell that she has the crazy personality that Uchiha people have.

She chimed in from the side, "I heard from the seniors in the clan that many ninjas from other villages will be participating in this Chunin Exam."

Before Ayane Amamiya could answer.

Yekura noticed the commotion and rushed over to sit down next to the girl, saying irritably, "Ask, ask, ask! Why are you Konoha ninjas so curious about everything?"

She countered, "I'd like to ask you the same thing! What terrible crime did that monk commit that warranted the deployment of ninjas to capture him?"

Monks in the Land of Wind generally hold a very high status.

Even the current One-Tailed Jinchuriki, Bunpuku, is a highly respected monk.

Yecang had met the monk Fenfu several times.

The other party not only guided my training, but also earnestly answered many of my questions about ninjas.

Therefore, Yekura naturally had a certain fondness for the profession of monk.

Uchiha Mikoto felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, and was too shy to speak: "Uh, well..."

"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Inuzuka Tsuru boldly declared, "That guy is a complete villain! Relying on his lineage from the Fire Temple, he's amassed a fortune through prayers, ruined the reputations of countless young women, and caused the deaths of many ordinary people!"

The black ninja dog next to him let out a howl, as if echoing its owner's words.

Ye Cang's momentum faltered instantly.

What? A lecher?

Aren't monks supposed to abstain from women? Are all monks outside this bad?

Seeing her embarrassed, Ayane Amamiya spoke up for her, saying, "Isn't the Fire Temple near Kyoto in the Land of Fire? It should be quite far from here! How did you end up here?"

Logically speaking, these three genin should also be considered a team with excessive combat power.

At least Ayane Amamiya didn't think that the three of them were genin in the ordinary sense.

In her eyes, that monk's strength was at most that of an ordinary Chunin, with a combat power of approximately 0.6.

A pear in a bamboo grove.

Even if Maruboshi Kosuke were standing by and not making a move, these three guys shouldn't have had such a hard time capturing a monk.

Inuzuka Tsurugi awkwardly rubbed the ninja dog's head, trying to make amends: "That was just a moment of carelessness."

Kushina Uzumaki is rough around the edges but actually quite meticulous.

Although she answered Ayane Amamiya's question, she carefully skipped over the specific details of the mission, simply summarizing, "This guy knows some unique sealing techniques. We weren't prepared and fell into his trap, but fortunately we reacted in time."

Sealing Technique...

Hearing her words, Ayane Amamiya pondered for a moment.

He also inherited the sealing technique from his mother.

Unfortunately, she was a latecomer to the profession.

Unlike Kushina Uzumaki, who had a sealing technique master like Mito Uzumaki to teach her, she also had to frequently carry out missions for the Anbu, so she basically had no time to calmly study.

Now, almost three months have passed.

He himself only mastered the simplest introductory sealing technique—the One-Element Lamp Array.

To be honest, her understanding of sealing techniques might not be as deep as Iruka's, which was more than a decade later.

Even the corresponding sealing technique entry didn't appear on the panel!

There are no basic entries.

Even if Ayane Amamiya wanted to cheat and level up directly by adding points, there was nothing she could do!

However, the importance of sealing techniques becomes self-evident once one's strength reaches a certain level. Could we perhaps find a way to...?

Did he steal the instructions on sealing techniques from Kushina?

Or, even getting a teaching aid like "Sealing Techniques: From Beginner to End" would be fine!

It's really too difficult to work on the seal scroll all by myself behind closed doors!

Ayane Amamiya stared at the burning campfire, a series of ideas popping into her mind.

"If that's the case, who issued the mission?"

Ye Cang's question startled her again. Ye Cang asked curiously, "A B-rank mission should at least cost 100,000 taels of silver, right? Can ordinary people really afford to issue such missions?"

The three genin opposite him looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.

Are the Sand Village ninjas thinking so strange?

Who would consider such a tricky and meaningless question after accepting a task?

Mikoto Uchiha tentatively guessed, "Perhaps...perhaps it was something everyone chipped in together?"

"Really? Then the common people of your Land of Fire must be quite wealthy." Ye Cang shrugged, it was hard to tell whether he was being sarcastic or envious.

Ayane Amamiya shook her head and denied it, saying, "It's impossible. Not to mention that ordinary people couldn't possibly raise such a sum of money, even if they did, it would be difficult to hide it from that guy and secretly come to Konoha to issue the mission."

The plan is to secretly find others among the believers who share similar discontent, then unite them to quietly raise funds, and finally issue a mission in Konoha...

If this series of actions can be successful...

Those ordinary people are incredibly proactive!

Kushina Uzumaki and the other girls looked at each other, unable to come up with any answer.

Suddenly, Inuya Tsurugi clapped his hands and said, "Oh dear, could it be that the daimyo is dissatisfied with him? I found a memorial in this guy's room earlier, saying he wants to apply for the establishment of some kind of Guardian Ninja Force and is requesting the daimyo to allocate funds..."

'

She was completely unaware that she had revealed an important piece of information.

The flames reflected in Ayane Amamiya's eyes flickered slightly.

The Twelve Guardian Ninjas?

Isn't this the job Asuma did after he ran away from home? There was also a monk with him, who seemed to be the head priest of the Fire Temple.

Are the Twelve Guardian Ninja not officially formed yet?

Now, as she learns more about the ninja world...

We now know that this system was not originally created by the daimyo of the Land of Fire; it actually appeared as early as the Warring States period.

Even today, with the establishment of the Ninja Village, many daimyo from small countries still preserve and practice this tradition.

For example, the River Country when Ayane Amamiya came.

The Land of Rivers does not have its own ninja village, but the daimyo has his own twelve guardian ninja.

It seems there are some conflicts and disagreements between the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage?

That makes sense, though.

What kind of people were the First and Second Hokage?

During the First Hokage's era, there was Madara Uchiha. After Madara left, there was Tobirama. After the Second Hokage officially took over, he also made great strides in Konoha and carried out reforms everywhere!

Back then, Konoha must have been the incredibly powerful party in front of the Daimyo.

And now, the third generation has risen to power...

Ayane Amamiya keenly grasped the key points.

The girl thought to herself, "I can tell Hanzo about the 'Guardian Shinobi' later."

Then secretly relay the message back to Amegakure, so that Goat's side can consider taking some action...

Whether it's sowing discord between the Daimyo and the Hokage, or diverting Konoha's current attention, it's a good option.

But then a bitter smile appeared on her lips as she thought about it.

Ayane Amamiya felt that she was becoming more and more like a villain.

He remained completely unmoved when he heard about the Cloud Village's plan to kidnap Kushina Uzumaki.

Now, they're eyeing the sealing technique first.

They deliberately targeted Kushina Uzumaki, a lonely and helpless girl, in an attempt to obtain knowledge of sealing techniques.

It goes a step further.

They actually intended to sow discord between the Daimyo and the Hokage, attempting to weaken Konoha's strength from various angles.
