Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 133 Signs Before the Storm: The Mist Hidden Squad Departs

After the quarterfinals, the Chunin Exams had a short break for a day.

By this time, all the ninjas sent by Kirigakure and Kumogakure had been eliminated, leaving only Ayane Amamiya, the sole survivor from an outlying village, still holding on.

They were surrounded by Konoha ninja!

Tied for the top four with her were Might Dai, who had mastered the Eight Gates, Kushina, who possessed pure Uzumaki blood, and a female ninja from the Hyuga branch family.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Before the Chunin Exams.

None of the predictions Tsunade made in her betting guide were correct!

The moment I stepped out of the exam hall, all I could hear were the wails of gamblers from all directions!

However, Ayane Amamiya doesn't have time to pay attention to the external betting odds at the moment.

The exam is over.

She was then pulled away by the Third Kazekage and Hanzo to discuss matters.

"If I win the Chunin Exams, will I really agree to any conditions I ask of Konoha?"

Ayane Amamiya was somewhat taken aback when she heard about the bet proposed by the two "Kage" and the Fire Daimyo.

Her mind immediately began to wander...

What Flying Thunder God Technique, Impure World Reincarnation Technique, Nine-Tailed Fox—

Hehehe!

"How is that possible?"

Hanzo the Salamander shook his head, shattering her illusion: "Do you think Konoha would agree to let the Third Hokage commit suicide?"

The Third Kazekage chuckled, "That's right! Although it's said that any condition is acceptable, frankly speaking, it still has to be within the rules' scope. That's something everyone agrees on."

Ayane Amamiya's delusion shattered instantly.

In truth, she knew in her heart that the chances of Konoha giving those things away were slim.

But what if?

What if Hiruzen Sarutobi's son sells his grandfather's land without feeling the pinch?

She looked left and right, and saw that the salamander was half-hidden and nodding slightly at her. She knew that her leader had already made up his mind and was just waiting for an opportunity to speak.

The girl then took the initiative to speak, asking, "What conditions should we propose?"

"My idea is to take over the River Kingdom."

Hanzo of the Salamander picked up the conversation, pointing directly to a small Konoha-affiliated country on the map: "The Land of Rivers is located at the intersection between our two countries and Konoha. Although it can't be called a strategic location, its position is still very important."

Moreover, the River Country has excellent resources, including both pastures for livestock and arable plains. Once acquired, the annual profits will be substantial!

The moment he spoke, Feng Ying felt a pang of discomfort.

If we follow the Third Kazekage's idea, then if possible, it would be best to ask Konoha for money!

After all, Sunagakure has no shortage of territory.

But now that Scorpion is out of the game, where does he get the confidence to speak?

"If we take the River Country, how will we divide it?"

He looked at the land on the map and pondered, "If it were directly divided in two, the daimyo of the River Country would probably be dissatisfied."

Speaking of which...

The mother of the daimyo of the River Country seems to have been a princess of the Wind Country before.

In short, the nobles in the ninja world are all related, and their ancestors may very well have been from the same family.

"All missions assigned to the Land of Rivers will be transferred to Amegakure. I will provide Sunagakure with a share of the total profits on a regular basis."

.

Hanzo of the Salamander no longer concealed his purpose and directly stated his thoughts: "Sunagakure can also send people to supervise the accounts, but the main jurisdiction of the Land of Rivers must be completely transferred to the Land of Rain."

The Third Kazekage fell silent.

Hanzo is trying to completely kick Sunagakure out of the Land of Rivers!

For a moment, the only sound in the quiet room was the gentle tapping of his fingers on the map.

Ayane Amamiya lowered her eyes and silently stood behind Hanzo.

She keenly noticed a change in the atmosphere.

The girl sighed inwardly: with the Chunin Exams drawing to a close, the friendly honeymoon period between Amegakure and Sunagakure seemed to be coming to an end.

"Lord Hanzo's idea sounds pretty good; we can make money while lying down."

After pondering for a long time, Kazekage revealed a smile and subtly probed, "But the Land of Rivers is not far from Konoha. If all jurisdiction is transferred to the Land of Rain, wouldn't the defensive pressure on Amegakure be too great?"

Hanzo refused to budge an inch, replying directly, "There's no need for Lord Kazekage to worry about this; I will naturally arrange reliable people."

Ayane Amamiya understood.

If Hanzo were to loosen his grip even slightly, the Kazekage might seize the opportunity to demand that the Kazekage station troops in the Land of Rivers.

"In that case, I have no objection."

The Kazekage's expression stiffened upon being rejected. His fake smile vanished, and he said seriously, "However, Sunagakure must take at least 30% of the annual revenue from the Land of Rivers' missions, and there must be no delay!"

Hanzo smiled: "Starting next year?"

"Can!"

After a simple agreement was reached.

The Third Kazekage finished his tea in one gulp, then got up and left.

He hadn't even considered the possibility that Ayane Amamiya would lose in the finals.

From this perspective, the Third Kazekage had complete confidence in the girl's strength.

After seeing Fengying leave.

Ayane Amamiya asked softly, "Chief, are the peace talks over?"

Since her identity changed from "Rain Shadow Guardian" to "Chunin Exam Candidate," she had not followed Hanzo to participate in such an important meeting for a long time.

Moreover, starting a few days ago, as the peace talks progressed further...

Even the official guards, such as Sanshoku Shinta and Yokura, did not attend the meeting.

Only two leaders of the ninja villages were present at the meeting.

"More or less—"

Hanzo said somewhat vaguely, "Compared to Sunagakure, our demands are not excessive. Konoha has been forced to agree to many things, but there are still some points under discussion."

"Um?"

The girl blinked, wondering if she was even qualified to know this part of the content.

As a result, Hanzo directly pointed out the strange thing: "The Fire Daimyo has privately expressed some desire that our Amegakure send a few ninjas to serve as members of his Twelve Guardian Ninjas."

"ah???"

Ayane Amamiya was shocked.

This world is crazy!

Even the ninja from Amegakure can serve as guardian ninja for the Fire Daimyo!

Wait a minute————

The fact that Hanzo, the leader, suddenly brought this up makes one wonder if the daimyo's intention is—

"That's right. I don't know where you heard about your performance in the second round of the exam, but I specially invited you over."

Hanzo laughed, "Do you know how much the Daimyo pays you annually? A full fifteen million taels!"

Ayane Amamiya's eyelids twitched: "So what's your idea—"

"Don't even mention fifteen million taels; even if you added a zero more, how could I possibly agree?"

"If you could grow ten years older instantly, the position of one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja of the Fire Daimyo would certainly be worth considering."

He said calmly, "Right now, sending you alone to the Land of Fire would be far too dangerous! So there's absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter!"

Hanzo the Salamander had always been very optimistic about Ayane Amamiya's future; otherwise, he wouldn't have kept her by his side.

In this Chunin Exam, Konoha has revealed a new generation of juniors, led by Minato Namikaze, and their future looks promising.

under these circumstances.

Ayane Amamiya, who single-handedly suppressed many geniuses, became Hanzo's most cherished treasure!

The saying "I wouldn't change it even if you added another zero" is no exaggeration!

Ayane Amamiya also sensed the high regard the other party held for her.

She was pondering whether she should say something like, "If you don't abandon me, I'm willing to become your godfather"—

Suddenly, Hanzo spoke again, asking, "Have you summoned Ibuki these past few days?"

Ibuki is the name of Hanzo's summoned creature, the salamander.

Ayane Amamiya paused for a moment, then replied, "Uh, not yet."

Although she signed her name on the summoning scroll, the Salamander Ibuki was too big, not much smaller than Gamabunta, so she had never summoned it.

"You can try communicating with spirits a few times to see Ibuki."

Hanzo thought for a moment and then instructed, "Ibushi is very clever. It's not a bad thing for you two to get to know each other first."

Ayane Amamiya nodded in agreement, seemingly lost in thought.

After leaving the quiet room.

Ye Cang ran over with a bitter face: "Oh no, oh no, now you're the favorite to win!"

She lamented, "This is terrible. I just went out and checked, and your odds are plummeting."

Ayane Amamiya felt a pang of regret.

Sure enough, while gamblers may not be smart, casinos are not fools.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw a group of ninjas carrying packs walk out of the corridor.

It turned out that Mei Terumi's squad from Kirigakure had packed their things and were preparing to leave.

"You're leaving already?"

Ayane Amamiya asked curiously, "Why don't we stay another day to watch the final match?"

"What are you staying for? To watch you win the championship?" Ringo Ameyuri, who suffered a crushing defeat to Might Guy, huffed and puffed and immediately started arguing.

Ayane Amamiya found it amusing.

You think she's polite? Her tone is so rude.

You might say she's rude, but she also tacitly accepts that she'll win the final championship.

Mei Terumi quickly pulled the "trigger bomb" behind her and explained simply, "We were originally going to stay for a day to wait for the final results. But something came up in the village and we need to go back."

"Ming! You've said too much!"

The team leader, Suigetsu Hozuki, frowned, glanced at Yekura, and reminded her, "There are still some guys from the Land of Wind here, so you need to be careful."

Out of respect for the elder Yuan Shi, he couldn't reprimand him to his face.

But upon hearing this, Ye Cang's short temper flared up instantly.

"A bunch of infighting bastards, do you think I want to listen to your bullshit?"

She glared at him and retorted directly, "When you go back, give your Mizukage a message! If you can't control the village's ninjas, Sunagakure won't mind going over to help!"

The Third Mizukage was the bodyguard of the First Mizukage.

From this perspective, he should naturally become the Second Mizukage, just like Tobirama Senju and Mu.

However, his methods were inadequate, making him the only exception among the five great ninja villages, and he was constantly suppressed by Hozuki Gengetsu.

Now that he has finally risen to power, he naturally launched an unprecedented purge against the Hozuki clan, using extremely cruel methods!

The Land of Wind and the Land of Rain are separated by the sea, so Yekura often manages to capture some Kirigakure ninja who have escaped there.

Ayane Amamiya didn't bother with their bickering.

This is the Konoha Inn; the two sides cannot fight here.

The girl whispered to Mei Terumi, "Well then, until we meet again."

Mei Terumi nodded: "Until we meet again."

After saying that, she winked playfully, "By the way, have you considered living in Kirigakure? I'm serious, the environment of the Land of Water is actually very suitable for your Water Release techniques. It also has the most advanced Water Release techniques in the entire ninja world —"

Ayane Amamiya chuckled to herself.

It seems this match really made him famous.

Is it because he comes from a small country?

Why is it that every single one of these people is trying to poach me?

"If that's the case, the weather in the Land of Rain is actually quite suitable for water-based techniques."

The girl raised an eyebrow, giving him a taste of his own medicine: "Why don't you come to Amegakure? I'll teach you the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, which only requires three hand seals! How about it?"

Mei Terumi replied without hesitation, "Teach me first, and I'll definitely go after you've taught me."

Ayane Amamiya said expressionlessly, "Come here first. I'll definitely teach you once you're here."

They looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud at the same time.

Mei Terumi didn't say anything more. She waved her hand, followed her companion, and turned to leave decisively.

As the sun set, the shadows of the Mist Shadow Squad grew longer and longer.

After walking a distance, Mei Terumi suddenly turned around and uttered a harsh remark to the girl from afar.

"Hey! You just wait, next time we meet, I'll beat you until you're begging for mercy!"

then.

Before Ayane Amamiya could react, she turned and ran!
