Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 142 Mito: Danzo and I are the same kind of people.

Konoha Village, the home of the Thousand Hands clan.

As night fell, it shrouded this glorious ancestral land in a sinister and eerie atmosphere.

The dense foliage of the trees cast large shadows, and the overlapping, indistinct outlines of the houses made it look like a perfect set for a horror movie.

of course.

This is mainly because of the lack of popularity.

As one of the founding members of Konoha, the Senju clan has been dwindling in number, and those still living on the clan's lands are mostly old people on their deathbeds.

Now, only two people in the clan can be considered part of the younger generation.

Kushina Uzumaki is one of them.

Tsunade, who is almost 30, is half of that.

The rope tree lying peacefully in its coffin is the last half—

Carrying a basket full of ingredients, Kushina Uzumaki timed her departure perfectly, pushed open the door, and prepared to leave.

The night wind was a bit chilly, and it made the girl shiver.

Autumn is almost here again.

Her thoughts drifted, and she couldn't help but think back to the day she first arrived in Konoha.

That was also an autumn day with falling leaves.

He was put on a ship by a clan elder he didn't recognize, then escorted to Konoha by a group of unfamiliar ninjas, and finally settled in an unfamiliar environment.

"Who?"

Suddenly feeling a chill run down her spine, Kushina abruptly turned around and shouted coldly.

The leaves rustled, as if answering her question.

The girl looked around, but couldn't see a single ghost.

Am I overthinking it?

She slowly turned her head.

Whoosh!

In that instant, a cold, sharp light tore through the night and aimed straight for her back!

Kushina, who was prepared, touched the ground with her toes and spun in mid-air at an incredible angle!

The girl slashed her kunai with precision, and with a crisp "clang," she knocked away the shuriken that had attacked her. Sparks flashed and disappeared in the night.

"Tsk! What a hassle!"

"Konoha is your home turf, is it really necessary to be so tense and on guard?"

An unfamiliar voice rang out, and several ninjas appeared from all around, surrounding her in the center.

They were dressed in tight-fitting night clothes, their faces covered by masks, revealing only their cold eyes, and they had no identification markings.

Kushina Uzumaki gripped her weapon tightly: "Who are you?"

You'll find out later.

The other party clearly didn't intend to waste any more words. He simply replied with a sentence and then waved his arm, signaling an attack!

The encirclement suddenly tightened!

The two ninjas attacked from both sides like arrows released from a bow, their movements as fast as lightning.

One person formed hand seals and muttered, "Lightning Release: Earth Movement!"

A blinding blue electric snake instantly shot along the ground, attempting to paralyze Kushina's lower body.

The other man wielded a short knife, its blade crackling with lightning, and thrust it straight at her shoulder!

"Is it the Cloud Ninja?"

Seeing so many Lightning Release ninjutsu, Kushina had a sudden thought.

Despite being caught in the crossfire, she remained calm, used her feet to propel herself high into the air with her amazing jumping ability!

At the same time, the kunai in his hand precisely met the incoming lightning blade.

Clang!

The clang of metal rang out, and sparks flew!

A tremendous force emanated from the blade, causing her arm to go numb. The power of the Cloud Ninja and the enhancement of Lightning Release were indeed well-deserved!

However, Kushina was no ordinary person either!

Karala!

A massive burst of chakra erupted, her fiery red hair danced wildly in the wind, and eight golden chains suddenly extended from behind her!

Diamond Lockdown!

These chakra chains were virtually indestructible and could break through anything, completely ignoring the ninjutsu released by the Cloud Ninja.

but----

The masked ninja leader suddenly let out a sinister laugh: "That's exactly what we've been waiting for!"

The Whirlpool Shrine beneath Fire Shadow Rock.

Dressed in a kimono, Mito Uzumaki stood alone by the window, gazing at Konoha in front of her, lost in thought.

Her eyes were a golden hue.

If there were a ninja skilled in sensory ninjutsu nearby at this moment, they would have noticed that the old man was gathering an abyss of chakra!

These chakras, like ocean waves, spread outwards in a vast and mysterious way.

Mito could sense every rustle of wind and grass within a radius of more than ten miles.

"Kushina-chan————"

Her mind was precisely locked on the center of that intense chakra collision in the distance.

To stay or to leave —

Grandma is now giving you the power of choice —

She murmured softly.

"Mito Uzumaki! You're insane!"

A violent and chilling voice suddenly exploded within her, tinged with shock and anger: "Are you tired of living, overdrawing your chakra like this?"

It's obvious that this is the Nine-Tailed Fox, the tailed beast inside the swirling water corpse, speaking.

The human and the fox lived together for nearly forty years.

Even if they aren't best friends who can talk about anything, they are very familiar with each other's physical condition.

Mito Uzumaki has been making frequent unusual moves lately.

First, she used the Transcribing Seal of the Adamantine Sealing Technique twice in succession, and now, completely disregarding the consumption of chakra, she has fully opened Kagura's Mind's Eye.

This is totally an expression that says, "I don't want to live anymore!"

"Nine-Tails, are you afraid of dying?"

Mito Uzumaki maintained her perception of the distance while whispering to herself.

She gathered her thoughts slightly.

Then, in the form of a spiritual entity, it entered the Bagua seal within the body.

This is a water dungeon similar to the one Naruto Uzumaki's.

The orange-red nine-tailed fox was firmly pierced and locked by seventy-two chains that shimmered with golden runes. Its massive body was suppressed on the sealing foundation, unable to move.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Would I be afraid of death?"

Upon seeing Mito Uzumaki's mental form appear, Kurama abruptly lifted its eyelids, its scarlet beast eyes filled with rage and disdain.

"I'm just wondering what tricks you treacherous humans are plotting this time!"

If a Jinchuriki dies, the Tailed Beast inside him will also die.

But unlike other ninjas, when a ninja dies, his soul returns to the Pure Land.

If a tailed beast dies, it will only be reborn somewhere in the ninja world.

"I didn't use any tricks, Nine-Tailed Fox."

"I just want to be willful one last time as my life comes to an end."

Mito Uzumaki calmly gazed at the ferocious beast that had been her companion for half her life, a relieved smile even appearing on her lips. She smiled and said, "After all, you can sense that I'm about to die."

"Mito Uzumaki, you're still lying to me!"

Nine-Tails' tone was ferocious, not believing her nonsense at all: "That little girl named Uzumaki Kushina, isn't she my next pet?"

"Huh?"

The old man was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "So, Nine-Tails, you've always treated me, and the Jinchūriki, like a pet?"

The fox demon snorted and tilted its head upwards at a 45-degree angle.

It said arrogantly, "Why not? I have an endless lifespan, and in my eyes, you humans are nothing but short-lived cats and dogs!"

As a dignified Nine-Tails, it can't possibly admit that the Jinchūriki is the warden who imprisoned it, can it?

That would be a huge loss of points!

"Alright—" Mito smiled helplessly, not wanting to argue with it too much on this issue.

"Let's get back to our previous topic—"

"Whether you believe it or not, my actions these past few days have certainly not been directed at you in any way."

Mito sighed softly, "Nine-Tails, what difference is there between me, Danzo, and the monkey?"

Nine-Tails: "————?"

What is this stupid woman muttering about?

Danzo knew it, and so did the monkey.

But when these names are put together, I just can't understand a word of them!

I really want to give her a Tailed Beast Ball!
