Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 97 Danzo, manipulated by Sarutobi

"Excellent! Excellent!"

The Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage was very satisfied with the scene displayed in the crystal ball.

Ayane Amamiya was not the only one who discovered that Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

From the very beginning of the exam, Hiruzen Sarutobi used his telescope technique to monitor the three exam rooms throughout, not missing a single ninja's performance.

Minato Namikaze, as one of his key protégés, naturally ranked high on the watch list.

Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique is getting more and more proficient.

While this speed isn't quite up to par with the teacher's, if it were the first time they met, even an elite Jonin would likely be at a disadvantage!

He secretly rejoiced: Luckily, I replaced Jiraiya who went to war and went to watch his graduation exam at the Ninja Academy, otherwise I would have almost missed this promising talent!

The training for the Flying Thunder God is extremely difficult.

Since Tobirama Senju's death, no one in Konoha has been able to learn this ninjutsu.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi had trained with the Second Hokage for a long time and was extremely familiar with his teacher's style and characteristics.

He keenly sensed from Minato Namikaze's extraordinary reaction speed a quality essential to a "super speedster".

Of course.

In addition, he also liked the other person's warm and sunny personality.

"Now that we have the Flying Thunder God Technique, should we have Minato learn Water Release and swordsmanship like our teacher?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was conflicted.

With the second generation of Minato Namikaze as a shining example, he really wanted to cultivate Minato Namikaze in the style of Tobirama Senju.

pity....

In his observation, Minato's talent was quite average, whether in water jutsu or swordsmanship!

Furthermore, Minato Namikaze is still young, and his current chakra reserves make it difficult for him to learn powerful ninjutsu.

He was silently pondering the future growth path of the Water Gate.

Suddenly, the doorway creaked open.

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her room, pushed open the door and entered.

"The Chunin Exams? Is that the female ninja from the Combined Forces team? You seem to be quite interested in this kid from Amegakure!"

She walked to her desk and glanced again at the girl staring blankly into the crystal ball: "Have you gleaned any important information?"

"That's right!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and then shook his head, took a puff of his cigarette and sighed, "It's a pity that the first round of the exam was too easy; it didn't reveal much."

He actually stared at Ayane Amamiya for a long time.

If he was full of confidence in Minato Namikaze, then Hiruzen Sarutobi had a bad feeling about this Stormy Team.

Especially.....

This joint squad is unprecedented in that it is led by a ninja from Amegakure!

Given the Third Kazekage's personality, how could the other party be willing to let the ninjas of his village be subordinate to him?

In his view, the absurdity of this matter was no less than that of Tobirama Senju marrying a woman with the surname Uchiha...

"Isn't your good grand-disciple here? What kind of accident could possibly happen?"

Koharu Utatane didn't care at all about the Land of Rain, such a small place.

Compared to these country folk who came from remote and impoverished areas, she paid more attention to Minato Namikaze, a rising star she had never heard of before.

Koharu asked curiously, "I see you're even more attentive to this grand-disciple than you were to Tsunade and the others. Could it be that his talent surpasses that of the three of them?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "This is different."

Actually, of these three students, his favorite disciple at the time was Orochimaru!

As for Tsunade and Jiraiya...

It's not that I don't care, but compared to Orochimaru, I am indeed slightly inferior.

There are many reasons for this.

This is due to both their personalities and their respective backgrounds.

In short, only after becoming Hokage did I realize that the ninja clan was both my strength and my weakness...

Koharu didn't press further, instead saying, "Kazekage and Amekage have arrived and are waiting in the reception room. En is entertaining them."

"Are they here to negotiate a peace agreement between the two countries?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had anticipated their intentions, and instinctively asked, "Where's Danzo? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

When it comes to cooperating on such important matters, he still feels more comfortable working with Danzo.

Although Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu are not stupid, they are always a beat behind in thinking.

Koharu Utatane replied somewhat awkwardly, "Danzo... Danzo said he caught a cold while practicing Wind Release ninjutsu last night, so he didn't come."

How could practicing Wind Release ninjutsu cause you to catch a cold?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat speechless.

"never mind."

Knowing that the other party was throwing a tantrum, he could only magnanimously say, "I'll have a proper talk with Danzo after the meeting!"

Koharu Utatane was a little angry and scolded loudly, "Hiruzen, Danzo has been getting a bit ungrateful lately! It's just a normal job transfer! But he acts like he really thinks the village's ANBU are his own!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled noncommittally.

As he tidied up the documents on his desk and prepared to leave, he glanced at the door and casually remarked, "By the way, Biwako said she's bored at home and wants to go back to work in the medical department..."

Koharu, who had just been indignant, immediately changed her expression upon hearing this: "This... if we come back from Lake Biwa, will Asuma be able to be taken care of? He's not even three years old yet, is he?"

Upon hearing this, the third generation leader couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He knew the personalities of each of his old friends like the back of his hand!

"You're three years old, can't you live alone yet?"

Danzo, who had arrived unnoticed, walked in from outside and said coldly to Koharu Utatane, "Look at the orphans in the village. How many of them can cook for themselves by the age of three!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised to see him: "Danzo, weren't you sick? I thought you weren't coming."

"Without my expert opinion, I fear you'll fall into a trap set by the Wind Shadow and Rain Shadow!"

"Those two came on aggressively; they clearly had ill intentions!"

Danzo arrogantly replied, "Koharu and En, those two haven't witnessed the darkness of the ninja world; they're still too naive!"

After saying that, he looked at Koharu Utatane and said expressionlessly, "The medical department belongs to the village, not you. Whether Biwako goes back to work or not is not up to you to decide!"

Turning to the next room, Xiaochun's face turned ashen, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi feigned anger, saying, "Enough! Shut up! Don't let the Kazekage and Amekage laugh at us!"

Danzo snorted coldly, shut his mouth and remained silent, tacitly following beside him as they walked towards the reception room.

As he left, he glanced furtively at the monkey beside him with his single eye, and his mind drifted back to what the monkey had just said.

Knew it!

The monkey is still my best friend. Even when I'm not around, it knows to speak up for me!

Recalling the Wood Release experiment that had already begun, Danzo felt a complex mix of emotions.

Under Scorpion's superb remote control.

Ayane Amamiya easily completed all the questions in just forty minutes and sent the answers back.

This speed is not considered fast.

The main problem was that she wasted a lot of time observing the behavior of the people around her.

Takumi Ninja Village, Sugi Ninja Village, Kusagi Ninja Village, Hana Ninja Village...

These ninjas from small, unfamiliar villages, though perhaps not particularly strong, displayed remarkable skills in cheating, which broadened her horizons.

For example, the guys from Hana-nin Village.

The man sat by the window, using the scent of pollen outside to transmit information.

And what about Mei Terumi?

This girl also has a quirky personality.

She must have realized this as well, because after passing on the exam papers, she secretly used Wind Release to interfere with the Flower Ninja's cheating.

The two of them made a big deal out of this small space.

The big trees outside the window rustled in the wind!

Ayane Amamiya was watching the fire from across the river and was thoroughly enjoying herself.

But halfway through, that feeling of unease suddenly crept up my spine again.

At first, she thought it was another spiritual technique.

But seeing Kato Dan's shadow clone sitting in a chair, nodding and dozing off, he knew it wasn't the other party's doing.

"This is the spying of three generations of old men!"

The girl realized what had happened and felt a pang of sadness.

Perhaps because she watched anime in her past life from the perspective of the main characters, she didn't feel much disgust towards Jiraiya and Sandai's voyeuristic behavior.

But experiencing it firsthand now, that feeling is truly...

It's worse than swallowing a fly!

There were a few blank spaces on the exam paper, so the girl flicked her wrist and simply drew an anthropomorphic old turtle on them!

She even specially added a white robe to the turtle and stuffed a pipe into its mouth!

Whether Hiruzen Sarutobi saw it or not.

Since you're disgusting to me, I'll be disgusting back!

Inside Examination Room B.

Sasori was sitting in the chair, waiting to finish the scroll, when he suddenly noticed the chakra threads on his hand moving.

He subconsciously deduced Ayane Amamiya's wrist movements based on the vibrations of the chakra threads.

Soon, a lifelike old tortoise appeared on the answer sheet...

scorpion:

What is the captain trying to say?
