Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 144 Determination for Revenge and the Amber Vase

"In fact, I am no different from people like Danzo."

"Danzo sacrificed innocent children in the village to carry out his Wood Release experiments in order to achieve his ambitions."

Gazing at the nine-tailed fox spirit in the water prison, Mito Uzumaki's tone was weary and somewhat lost: "And I selfishly imposed this unfortunate fate of being the nine-tailed jinchūriki onto little Kushina—"

"We're the same kind of people."

In the silent water dungeon, apart from the dripping of water, there was only the monologue of Mito the whirlpool.

There were some things she couldn't say to anyone else, and she could only confide in this fox.

"Nine-Tailed Fox—"

"Tell me, what right do I have to despise Danzo's actions?"

Mito Uzumaki sighed, "But I've already regretted it once, and now I don't want to hesitate any longer."

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Third Hokage is the biggest leader in Konoha.

But when it comes to the selection of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Mito Uzumaki is the one with the most say!

It was she who, among the many candidates offered by the village, made the decisive choice of Kushina Uzumaki.

Indeed.

If you ask why, out of so many candidates, you should choose Kushina.

Mito Uzumaki could rattle off numerous reasons without hesitation, easily convincing anyone who questioned her.

For example, Konoha and Uzumaki are allies who trust and rely on each other without distinction;

For example, the Uzumaki clan members are born with enormous chakra, which can effectively resist the erosion of tailed beast chakra;

For example, Kushina Uzumaki possessed astonishing talent in sealing techniques, capable of self-repairing and perfecting the seals on her Jinchuriki.

But what she couldn't deceive herself about was that she had never considered Kushina Uzumaki's personal feelings in this matter.

Becoming a Jinchūriki is extremely unfortunate.

This misfortune goes far beyond the endless struggles and resistance from the tailed beast within her.

Rumors, suspicions, and alienation from the outside world are deeper and more painful thorns.

Beyond that, as weapons of war, they are also embroiled in high-level power struggles and political infighting, subject to surveillance and control from the Dark Guard and the Sealing Squad, and regularly inspected and evaluated like wild animals or objects.

Kushina Uzumaki was just a child under fifteen years old.

She had neither a husband like Hashirama Senju, who dominated the ninja world, nor the powerful Senju and Uzumaki clans at their peak, to rely on.

They haven't even found their own ninja way yet.

Can her tender shoulders really bear this heavy fate?

If it were before the Chunin Exams.

Mito Uzumaki could at least force himself to believe it by using reasons like "for the sake of Konoha" and "to protect Kushina".

However, after the Danzo incident and after seeing clansmen like Ayane Amamiya living in exile, Mito Uzumaki began to waver slightly in her initial thoughts.

Perhaps, leaving Konoha could lead to a bright future?

Can it still bloom into its own flower of life?

Konoha is not the only destination for Uzumaki, nor is it necessarily the best one.

Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't understand these heartfelt sentiments from the old man.

Or rather, in this long passage, it only focused on the important words "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki".

really!

Even as she was dying, the vicious Mito Uzumaki did not forget to make arrangements for herself!

That stinky woman!

Its fluffy tail throbbed, and anger surged into the depths of its pupils: "Uzumaki Mito! You bastard, after saying so much—"

pity.

Nine-Tails only managed to utter half of its words before its mouth was suppressed by endless Vajra chains.

"But I must also admit that whatever choice Kushina makes—"

"Nine-tailed Fox".

"I can't let you leave Konoha!"

Mito Uzumaki raised her arm and gently tore off the sealing talisman on the water prison door.

She strode in and came to the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The mental body lifted off the ground, and a deep, ink-black character "封" (seal) instantly appeared in the old man's palm!

Without the slightest hesitation, Mito Uzumaki pressed her palm heavily onto Kurama's brownish-red forehead!

Buzz!

A blinding golden light erupted from his palm, instantly engulfing the massive body of the Nine-Tailed Fox!

Countless golden chains materialized from the chakra and wrapped around the ferocious beast, encasing it like a rice dumpling.

Soon, the enormous Nine-Tails compressed and coalesced, transforming into a golden chakra sphere.

If you look closely, you'll see an adorable chibi-style fox angrily breathing on Mito from inside the sphere.

"I'm sorry, Nine-Tails—"

Mito Uzumaki lowered her head, saying guiltily, "This is the last time."

Nine-Tailed Fox: "@#￥%!"

Under the pale moonlight.

When faced with Matthew's request, Ayane Amamiya's response was calm and cold.

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Matthew never expected that the other party would give such a reply!

What does it mean?

Are they here to take me away?

The sweat, the size of soybeans, went from scalding hot to icy cold, then dripped down his forehead, and the pain in his back gradually subsided.

He knew this certainly didn't mean his injuries had improved.

Rather, it was their own life that was entering its final countdown.

"Stop joking around—"

Matthew gave an awkward yet ingratiating smile: "Go quickly, kill him! If we keep delaying like this—"

Ayane Amamiya did not continue to answer.

The girl simply clenched her fist.

Several golden chains, made entirely of solidified chakra, burst forth from her body!

Diamond Lockdown!

Kushina Uzumaki used this move against Sasori and Mikoto Uchiha in the arena.

However, the same secret technique, when activated by Ayane Amamiya, has a completely different power than before.

If Kushina only summoned ordinary chains...

So what Ayane Amamiya summoned was a group of pythons covered in golden scales, with intricate and mysterious sealing runes engraved on their scales, emanating a chilling aura.

"This technique—you're also a vortex?"

"You and Konoha are on the same path?"

A sense of astonishment and absurdity welled up from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps it was because of a moment of lucidity before death, but Matthew's words became fluent at this moment.

rear.

Minato Namikaze, who was on the verge of losing consciousness due to excessive blood loss, regained some of his senses upon hearing these words.

He struggled to lift his head, staring ahead at them with a puzzled look.

Facing two gazes, one angry and the other probing, Ayane Amamiya remained silent, silently manipulating the chakra chains with her mind.

"Pfft!"

The first chain easily pierced Matthew's shoulder blade.

The moment the lock touched his body, Matthew was horrified to find that his chakra was frozen and almost impossible to mobilize.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third chains followed, wrapping around his legs and waist respectively.

The ninja, bound by chains, stood up and faced Ayane Amamiya.

Puff puff!

The fourth and fifth rounds —

Chains wrapped around him one after another.

The powerful binding force and chakra suppression rendered him completely powerless to resist, leaving him locked in mid-air like a doll.

Excruciating pain and a feeling of suffocation struck at the same time.

Matthew tried in vain to twist his neck, his eyes filled with despair and incomprehension.

He really didn't understand why the other party would attack him.

Mingming————

We were allies before!

Ayane Amamiya took a step closer to him, her amber eyes, illuminated by the golden chains, were as cold as ice: "Do you still remember Maba Village?"

Matthew looked completely bewildered: "What village?"

Looking at the disheveled ninja, the girl calmly said, "Six months ago, when you fled from the battlefield of Konoha, you slaughtered hundreds of innocent civilians from the Land of Rain in Maba Village to vent your anger."

Upon hearing this, Matthew gradually began to recall it.

The incident that happened six months ago is definitely the past he least wants to recall in his life.

At that time, the Sand Village's puppeteer force was ambushed by Sakumo Hatake in the Land of Fire, and all of its elites were wiped out.

Faced with the terrifying power of White Fang, he completely lost his will to fight and fled in a panic.

But Matthew was severely injured at the time and feared pursuit from Konoha, so he cleverly did the opposite, taking a wandering ninja to the neighboring Land of Rain.

But this Maba Village—

He had casually wiped out seven or eight villages along the way, so why would he bother to find out the names of these villages before taking action?

The ninja was stunned: "Just because of this? You're going to kill me?"

Ayane Amamiya sighed.

She looked at Matthew, who was bound and pierced by chains, and there was no joy in her eyes after getting revenge, only a calm indifference.

The girl took out a banknote from her pocket.

This was the 100 taels of silver I received from Yukio when I took on this long-term mission.

He smoothed out the fine wrinkles on the banknote and then firmly stuffed it into the ninja's chest.

With a flick of her wrists, Ayane Amamiya unleashed dozens of explosive tags that flew precisely towards Matthew's vital parts like deadly butterflies.

"No! Wait! I understand—"

The ninja's eyes widened in terror; the fear of death overwhelmed him completely at that moment.

Whether it was the previous questioning or the interrogation.

No amount of words can compare to the effectiveness of these dozens of cold, explosive tags on my body right now.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but it was too late.

Ayane Amamiya ignored him.

This was her final tribute to those departed souls, and also her final judgment upon this belated revenge.

Boom!!!

A deafening explosion ripped through the silent night sky!

The blinding flames suddenly bloomed like a hellish red lotus, instantly engulfing Matthew's entire figure!

In the firelight.

Matthew lowered his head, like a guilty man being judged by fire, or perhaps, in his last moments, he was uttering a silent irony to the girl.

Minato Namikaze, who had been pulled aside by the Vajra Chains, was almost stunned by the dazzling scene.

etc----

My arm!

He suddenly realized what was happening.

My severed arm is still inside!

The blazing fireworks burst forth, the acrid smell wafting through the air and ruffling Ayane Amamiya's hair.

Do you know why I saved you?

"clear."

Minato Namikaze smiled wryly: "All of this is my doing."

Ayane Amamiya gave him a deep look, her killing intent released and then immediately vanished in a flash, hurrying towards another place where chakra was running rampant.

Matthew's injuries were too severe, and she couldn't wait for the other party to kill Minato Namikaze.

Ayane Amamiya was also unable to accept that the judgment from Maba Village had failed!

Therefore, she had to take action!

However, after killing Matthew, he did indeed have the opportunity to eliminate Minato Namikaze at the same time.

The girl had to admit it.

I didn't harden my heart completely and kill Minato Namikaze right there.

Perhaps keeping Minato Namikaze alive would be a good thing for Amegakure?

Ayane Amamiya tried to comfort herself with this thought.

There is something more important to do right now —

She turned her gaze to the west, where a very familiar chakra was surging wildly!

On the other side, Kushina Uzumaki and the Cloud Ninja were on the battlefield.

As Kushina's chakra suddenly erupted, golden chains rapidly extended.

But the leader of the Cloud Village ninjas remained calm and even seemed to want to laugh.

This Chunin Exams was a fantastic platform, giving them a thorough understanding of information regarding Kushina Uzumaki, the "prospective Jinchūriki."

bass!

The ninja unfurled the sealing scroll at his waist.

A large red jar suddenly appeared between his arms.

Amber Vase!

This is one of the five great ninja tools left behind by the Sage of Six Paths. It is incredibly powerful and can unleash sealing techniques comparable to S-rank techniques.

The previous owners of the Six Paths Tools were the Gold and Silver Brothers, who killed the Second Hokage.

However, with the deaths of the Gold and Silver Brothers, four of the five Six Paths Ninja Tools were lost, leaving only this last one, which was collected and kept by the Third Raikage.

A few days ago, information about Kushina Uzumaki was sent back.

After internal discussions, the Hidden Cloud Village secretly activated the Heavenly Delivery Technique to teleport the Six Paths Ninja Tool to the Land of Fire, and then found a way to deliver it to the Hidden Cloud Village delegation.

This is actually a last resort.

After all, apart from super strong men like the Third Raikage, the Heavenly Transfer Technique cannot teleport living people.

Ordinary items were insufficient to cause a qualitative change in the strength of the Jonin in the delegation, enabling them to capture Kushina Uzumaki in one fell swoop.

So after much deliberation, the Raikage finally took out this treasure!

Anyway, the eight tails in the amber bottle were transferred last month, so Yunyin doesn't need the amber bottle for the time being!

"Kushina Uzumaki, your fate was already sealed, why fight so desperately?"

The voice of Yunren, who held the amber bottle, carried a deliberately slowed, seductive tone.

He nimbly leaped backward to avoid the sharpness of the chains, while holding the amber bottle in front of him and quickly channeling chakra into it, activating the magical power of this Six Paths Ninja Tool.

The bottle opening began to emit a deep, eerie light.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Kushina retorted sharply.

The chain paused, because she was being careful and deliberately made sure it avoided the amber bottle.

Although she didn't know what this thing was for, she keenly sensed the residual sealing technique aura on it.

But the other two Cloud Ninja immediately stepped forward to cover, using Lightning Release ninjutsu and kunai to block, buying time for the bottle holder.

"nonsense?"

The Cloud Ninja scoffed, his voice filled with both pity and mockery. "Kushina Uzumaki, do you really think Konoha values ​​you? No! They just see you as a expendable resource, a man-made weapon for their own use!"

This statement was entirely accidental.

But by a twist of fate, the results were surprisingly good.

The Cloud Village believed that Kushina already knew about her identity as a "prospective Jinchuriki" and was intentionally trying to sow discord.

Upon hearing this, Kushina subconsciously recalled the children at the Root base.

Although I've been in Konoha for so long.

But deep down, she only ever trusted one person: Mito Uzumaki.

Unfortunately, Mito's life is drawing to a close, and she has witnessed the darkness of Konoha firsthand.

This sarcastic remark was like a cold needle, precisely piercing the deep-seated anxiety and unease within Kushina's heart.

Her movements as she manipulated the chains slowed down slightly.

Yunren keenly sensed her wavering and immediately prepared to intensify his persuasive tactics.

Boom!!!

Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from Konoha Village in the distance!

The blinding flames were faintly visible even from a distance.

What's going on?

The Cloud Ninja were a bit confused. Besides themselves, was there someone else causing trouble in Konoha at this moment?

But no matter what, he knew that he couldn't afford to delay any longer.

"Admit it, Kushina Uzumaki!"

Holding the bottle, Yunren's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his voice like a spell, full of oppressive force, "Recognize your pathetic life—"

"I----"

The remaining words have not yet been fully spoken.

But the girl's response was already interpreted by the amber bottle as a reply.

The faint light emitted by the amber bottle suddenly intensified!

The dark bottle opening widened rapidly, and an irresistible, terrifying suction force suddenly erupted!
