Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 88 Cooperation and the Art of Mind Manipulation

Ayane Amamiya was unaware of Fugaku Uchiha's discovery and scheming.

But the girl also made her own unique discoveries.

After walking a distance and confirming that Fugaku Uchiha could no longer see her, Ayane Amamiya suddenly stopped.

"Scorpion, have you noticed anything wrong?" she asked, turning around.

Scorpion, seemingly lost in thought, was startled by the question: "What?"

Ayane Amamiya opened her palm.

On the girl's fair palm lay a small, black insect, charred from being electrocuted.

Scorpion leaned closer for a look: "This is... a parasitic worm?"

He had only seen this thing in textbooks and was still somewhat uncertain.

Ayane Amamiya nodded slightly: "That's right, it's the Parasitic Insect! It's a secret ninjutsu of the Konoha Aburame clan."

"Where did you get it from?" Scorpion asked, puzzled.

The other person has never left me since I left the inn!

The girl looked him up and down, then said seriously, "Scorpion, when did you lose your ninja's vigilance?"

She explained, "This is the bug I found on those children."

These parasites do not penetrate the human body; instead, they hide in the children's hair.

therefore.

Any ninja with some skill could easily detect the presence of parasitic insects upon close contact.

But then again, what ninja would have nothing better to do than approach a group of orphans?

Upon hearing this, Scorpion felt somewhat ashamed.

The boy pursed his lips, which was a tacit acceptance of the other party's condemnation.

He was too embarrassed to admit that while distributing kunai, he was so absorbed in the orphans' heartfelt thanks that he hadn't noticed much else...

But Scorpion quickly realized what was happening and pressed, "Why would something like parasitic worms appear on a group of orphans?"

"Who knows..."

"

Ayane Amamiya's tone was somewhat ethereal.

In her heart, she was thinking, how obvious was the meaning behind this action?

It's like going to the market to shop. Whenever you see ingredients that meet your criteria, you mark them, and then you just wait until the end to collect everything and pay the bill...

Then, recalling what the orphans said about the director leaving for some reason...

Does this mean that Danzo is already taking action?

Without any intention of hiding anything from Scorpion, the girl directly opened the summoning scroll exclusive to the Black Swan Squad right in front of him.

Yakushi Nonou's name is still on it.

The fact that the ink stains never disappeared or faded at least indicates that the other person is not in immediate danger.

Amamiya Ayane thought to herself: Could it be that she has been temporarily detained by Root?

As for the reasons for the detention, there are too many to list.

It's possible that Danzo noticed something amiss during the Iwagakure incident; or perhaps Nonou discovered his actions when he targeted the orphans; or maybe he assigned Nonou some high-level mission...

In short.

Because of the influence of this "butterfly," although the overall situation of the ninja world remains the same, many small details are no longer what they used to be...

But whatever the reason, this is a real problem!

The reason I accepted Yakushi Nonou in the first place.

One reason is that they feel the other person is a useful person with a kind heart, and they can take advantage of them.

Secondly, it was to establish an intelligence network for Konoha, to collect information from Root at any time in preparation for any eventuality.

After all, it's in the original work.

There has always been some unclear connection between Danzo and the Land of Rain.

But things are better now.

The Land of Fire's intelligence network hasn't even been established yet, and its most crucial spy has already gone missing!

The young girl was in a dilemma.

The best course of action at this time is to remain still and trust in Yakushi Nonou's ability to save herself. After all, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, and your good intentions might just drag the other person down with you.

But this laissez-faire attitude towards her companions, this complete abandonment of responsibility, is simply not in line with her usual style...

Ayane Amamiya rubbed her forehead in annoyance.

Scorpion, however, observed from the sidelines and discerned some of the intricacies.

He whispered, "Are you gathering intelligence on Konoha?"

Earlier, when he was near the school, he saw Ayane Amamiya specifically recruit a group of orphans.

Sasori thought that the other party wanted to cultivate Amegakure spies from among them and infiltrate the Ninja Academy.

But now it seems that's not the case.

Ayane Amamiya put away the summoning scroll in her hand and said in a calm tone, "Remember to use your job title when you're working."

scorpion:

'

'

"team leader!"

He quickly added a polite phrase.

Because he said it so often, Scorpion gradually got used to it and no longer felt as uncomfortable as he had at first.

Scorpion continued, "Captain, if you need to gather intelligence, I might be able to help you in some way."

"Um?"

Scorpion gathered some fine sand between his fingertips and said softly, "I learned a very special ninjutsu from my grandmother called the Mind-Controlling Sand Technique."

"The effect of this technique is to mix fine sand and chakra into an extremely small needle, which is then inserted into the memory center of the human brain!"

"It can be used to seal or modify the memories of a target, or it can do nothing at all, simply hiding in the brain as a means of controlling subordinates!"

Amamiya Ayane was taken aback. She recalled for a moment and vaguely remembered the technique.

It seems to have appeared in some episode of an anime.

"That sounds like a very useful ninjutsu."

She made a comment.

He then asked bluntly, "But why did you suddenly decide to help me?"

Scorpion bowed deeply and stated bluntly, "Because I want to exchange it for your guidance in battle, Captain!"

The girl was startled.

You little brat!

He actually just wanted my body!?

Scorpion said with utmost seriousness, "Captain, I'm confident I can defeat Sakumo Hatake's son, but I don't know how long it will take me to catch up with White Fang's sword—"

'

"You've got the wrong person. I'm no match for White Fang either," Ayane Amamiya said frankly.

;

"Captain, your fighting style is very similar to White Fang's!"

Sasori's speech quickened: "When we first clashed in the village, I considered you a substitute for that man, with your ninja sword and your incredible speed..."

He said slowly, "My grandmother told me that the most terrifying thing about White Teeth is this, and that's how my parents lost to him."

So that's how it is?

However, I haven't upgraded the entries related to ninjutsu for a long time...

Ayane Amamiya muttered to herself.

She currently possesses two purple attributes: [Advanced Lightning Release (Water Release) Mastery]. Her strongest combat ability actually lies in her ninjutsu.

However, if it's just about fighting scorpions...

To be blunt, using only Water Instantaneous Movement and swordsmanship is enough.

Perhaps we could also give up one hand...

After thinking it over for a moment, the girl promised, "During this month of the Chunin Exams, I can set aside some time each day to be your sparring partner."

In fact, constantly fighting against weaker opponents does not benefit your achievement points.

However, the Chunin Exams are just around the corner, and what I have in abundance is opponents!

Practicing with scorpions as a daily dessert is also a good idea.

Of course, most importantly, the Mind Control Technique might help one glimpse the secrets of the root!

Without hesitation, Scorpion replied, "Deal!"
