Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 184 Madara Uchiha's Overt Scheme

Whispers in the wind drifted in through the cracks in the window, carried by the cool rain.

But the effect it brought was no less than a heavy hammer that slammed into the hearts of Fugaku and Minato!

There was no gap.

Immediately following the whisper was a loud bang!

The tightly closed door was violently kicked open by Ayane Amamiya.

Her face was cold, and her clothes and appearance were almost exactly the same as when she left. The long boots under her trench coat made a "thump-thump" sound on the ground, and her eyes seemed to hold sharp swords.

A chilly wind, carrying the scent of wind and rain, blew in their faces, causing Minato and his companion to shudder.

The girl's gaze swept quickly over Mei Terumi and the three little ones, then subtly glanced at Fugaku, before finally settling on Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze —

Ayane Amamiya said softly, "You lost an arm, and instead of staying in Konoha to recover, you ran here. It seems you wanted to avoid decades of detours and unlock your final form ahead of time!"

Minato Namikaze didn't quite understand what she meant.

But sensing the other person's cool and aloof aura, he remained silent and subconsciously took a small step back.

He himself didn't know why.

Perhaps it's a fear of being a defeated opponent?

It could also be a feeling of guilt when facing one's savior?

"You managed to shake off that tailed beast so quickly?"

Fugaku Uchiha stared at her, his face full of disbelief, and questioned, "That's the Three-Tails fighting on its home turf in the Land of Water! How is this possible?"

Get rid of the tailed beast.

That was the most reasonable explanation he could think of at that moment.

As for the possibility that the Three-Tails was directly defeated by Ayane Amamiya—

Forgive Fugaku Uchiha for his limited imagination; he never even dared to think in that direction!

"Heh~"

When Ayane Amamiya heard his question, she crossed her arms and did not rush to make a move.

"Has the once-famous Uchiha clan really fallen to this level?"

Her tone was deep, and although she was looking at Fugaku, she was implying something: "I heard that when Konoha was first established, Madara Uchiha was able to capture all nine tailed beasts by himself without breaking a sweat."

The girl looked at Fugaku, whose face had suddenly darkened, and mocked, "And now, as the young head of the Uchiha clan, facing a mere tailed beast, your first thought is to run away? Don't you think that's a disgrace to your ancestors?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

You can attack me, go ahead!

But if you attack me while praising Madara Uchiha, that's absolutely unacceptable!

He was about to retort sharply and give a fierce rebuttal.

But Minato Namikaze suddenly spoke up, probing, "Are you stalling for time?"

Without waiting for Ayane Amamiya's reply, he directly stated his guess: "The current you is not actually the original body, but just a shadow clone that was left behind in advance, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya couldn't help but take a deep look at the future Fourth Hokage.

Minato Namikaze was right.

Her true form is indeed still on the beach, fighting the Three-Tails.

The specifics are unknown to me, even as a shadow clone.

Ayane Amamiya already knew.

In the original work, Kirigakure will be completely controlled by Obito about ten years later, becoming one of the strongholds of villains such as Black Zetsu.

She also knows.

The inexplicable attack launched by the Three-Tails just now must have been orchestrated by someone, and that person is very likely Madara Uchiha, who is still alive!

So, having already taken so many precautions in her mind, how could she leave so hastily without leaving any backup plans?

Previously, during the first energy blast exchange with the Three-Tails.

Ayane Amamiya very skillfully created a large amount of water flow in the sky.

Then, taking advantage of the moment when the ninjutsu was blasted apart by the Tailed Beast Ball, she cleverly guided the exploding water onto Mei Terumi's body and into the courtyard outside.

Ayane Amamiya attached a portion of her chakra to these water streams.

As long as Mei Terumi gets into trouble.

This pre-prepared chakra will condense into shadow clones in the courtyard!

This was her backup plan!

"Those Sharingan eyes should really be ripped off and put on you."

The girl did not deny it, but sighed with some regret: "Minato Namikaze, it's such a pity that you don't deserve a pair of Sharingan with such keen insight."

"————"

Fugaku Uchiha clenched his fists. Although the other party hadn't mentioned him at all, he still felt like he was being mocked.

But he quickly regained his composure.

Fugaku barked, "Attack, Minato! Stop wasting time talking to her, finish this quickly!"

"clear!"

The reason he chose to take action instead of running away with Nagato was that Minato Namikaze's development and mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique had not yet reached perfection.

Not to mention the Flying Thunder God Guided Lightning of later generations, which can easily transfer Tailed Beast Balls.

Nowadays, even switching places with someone is extremely difficult for him; it can only be done without interference from others.

That's why he had to remind Nagato to reduce his resistance.

"Instead of running away, you bravely walked towards me?"

Ayane Amamiya lowered her head.

Although she didn't have her own ninja sword, Storm Cutter, because she was a shadow clone, she showed no fear.

In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared from the spot.

"Be careful!"

Minato Namikaze's shouts rang out.

At the same time, Fugaku Uchiha raised his arm backward to block.

Bang~!

A heavy, dull thud came from my arm, and my bones ached slightly.

Without even considering how such immense power could be unleashed from her slender frame, Fugaku's eyes turned ruthless. He seized the opportunity, shifted his feet to close the distance, and attempted to elbow Ayane Amamiya!

But the other party was nowhere to be found again.

The next moment, the girl reappeared on the right side of Fugaku!

Minato Namikaze's eyes were resolute.

If we're talking about reaction speed alone, he's the fastest among everyone present.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze was even able to seize the opportunity when Ayane Amamiya made her move and warn Fugaku.

Ayane Amamiya had just landed in a flash.

He caught up and pounced, his only remaining right hand reaching towards the girl's slender neck.

But the girl remained calm and composed.

She met Minato Namikaze's gaze coldly, her fingers touching, thumbs horizontal, her hands folded into a triangle in front of her chest.

Lightning Release: Heavy Flow Burst!

Sizzle!

A blue lightning beam, resembling a laser cannon, shot directly from Ayane Amamiya's palm!

Kill two birds with one stone!

The trajectory of the lightning beam went straight through the two of them!

Minato Namikaze had witnessed her attack and knew he absolutely could not withstand this ninjutsu head-on.

At the critical moment, he activated Flying Thunder God Technique again to dodge.

However, Fugaku behind him did not possess space-time ninjutsu, so he could only fall face-first to the ground in a disheveled manner.

boom!

The lightning beam continued its relentless advance.

It blasted right through the house wall and flew off somewhere unknown.

"This guy's speed in teleportation, and the speed at which he releases ninjutsu—"

"They're practically monsters!"

The three-tomoe Sharingan twitched restlessly in its socket, trying to observe the surrounding situation.

In just one swift exchange, Fugaku was already sweating profusely.

Now, he had no more excuses to deceive himself.

He actually felt an immense pressure, like that of the Third Hokage, in front of a single shadow clone!

"We have to go out and fight!"

"After all, the opponent is just a shadow clone. As long as we wear it down slowly, we definitely have a chance!"

He and Minato, who were lying on the ground, exchanged a glance and reached a consensus without prior agreement.

Ayane Amamiya did not press her advantage.

Seizing the opportunity when the two gave way, she rushed to the side of the three children, untied them, and picked up the unconscious Terumi Mei from the ground.

"Ayane-nee-san—" Konan's voice was trembling with tears.

The life-or-death moment they just experienced was too thrilling for the three of them.

That feeling of weakness.

Like fish on a chopping board, no matter how much it struggles, it can only watch helplessly as the sharp blade falls.

Ayane Amamiya patted her head, then took Nagato and Yahiko's hands and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

At that moment, the girl suddenly understood Madara Uchiha's intentions.

First of all.

With the White Zetsu intelligence network at their disposal, the other side must be extremely clear about the objectives of Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha!

He used the Three-Tails to drive himself away.

The intention is obvious: to create an opportunity for the Konoha duo to make their move, to put Nagato in danger, or even to have him taken away by Konoha ninjas!

In this way.

If I were to act regardless of the cost, whether through direct confrontation or by secretly infiltrating Konoha, I could rescue Nagato.

They essentially took the place of Yahiko and Konan in the original work, and established a deep bond with Nagato.

After all, it was because of his own unexpected appearance.

Nagato, who is only nine years old this year, has only been with the trio for a little over a year and has not yet been taught by Jiraiya. The feelings and bonds between the three are far less unbreakable than in the original work.

Referencing Nagato's descent into darkness in the original work.

The deeper the bond, the more intense the pain will be when it is broken!

If you're cold-blooded and ruthless, just give up on Nagato.

That's even better!

Given Nagato's sensitive nature, he would inevitably be moved.

Without friends, he would definitely be vulnerable to being manipulated by Black Zetsu.

Furthermore, being kidnapped by Konoha would allow Nagato to have easy access to the Nine-Tails, thus preparing for the subsequent plan to collect the tailed beasts.

You should know that among the nine tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails is the most difficult to defeat!

In the original story, it was Pain himself who took action to capture him.

Ayane Amamiya mentally sorted out this logic.

The brilliance of this plan lies in the fact that no matter which path he chooses, Madara Uchiha will win!

The difference is simply between a small win and a big win!

Furthermore, if we consider the fact that ninjas in the ninja world generally have a rather distorted, cold-blooded, and profit-driven personality.

It's highly likely to be a huge win!

Madara Uchiha, you old bastard, you're practically dead, but you still have a lot of ideas!

Ayane Amamiya narrowed her eyes.

However, you underestimate my strength!

These two bastards behind me think they can snatch Nagato from me?!
