Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 185 The Fallen Flash

The Shadow Clone Technique developed by Tobirama Senju is very useful, but it also has a fatal flaw.

That means it's very difficult to withstand heavy attacks from the enemy!

For example, an ordinary ninja who gets pierced through the chest by the stab technique can still hold on for a while, but someone like Neji with a high health bar might need to give his last words for a long time before he can finally close his eyes.

But if a shadow clone is hit by a ninjutsu of this level, it will almost inexplicably dissipate immediately!

This may be a characteristic that Tobirama Senju intentionally set up to protect his main body when he was developing the Shadow Clone Technique.

After all, once the shadow clone's sensations dissipate, they will all return to the original body.

But no matter what you say.

Due to this limitation, the power that a shadow clone can exert is destined to be limited.

Furthermore, one must not act like the original, trading injuries for injuries to achieve some life-or-death tactical objectives!

Otherwise, why would the forbidden technique of multiplying explosive tags need to be combined with the Impure World Reincarnation?

This is why Fugaku Uchiha and Minato Namikaze have not given up even after their failed attack.

I have one victory, and the enemy has one defeat!

Moreover, both of them were geniuses who stood out among their peers when they were in Konoha.

Although it has never been said explicitly.

But both of them harbored an unconscious sense of pride.

It's one thing if she can't defeat Ayane Amamiya's true form —

You think a mere shadow clone can scare them away?

If word gets out, won't I lose face?!

At this moment, taking advantage of the opportunity when Ayane Amamiya untied the three little ones.

The two exchanged a silent glance and instantly reached a consensus.

Hey!

A soft sound.

Minato Namikaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again and disappeared from the spot.

Although he can't move people around yet, he is becoming increasingly proficient in using his own abilities!

call out!

A strong wind swept in.

The piercing shriek of the kunai was particularly clear.

The sharp blade gleamed faintly in the air, aimed precisely at the girl's brow.

Because of the precedent of Mei Terumi falling under a genjutsu, Ayane Amamiya also dared not rashly look into the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

She lowered her eyes, turned her neck without thinking, and slightly turned her body to the side.

While dodging the kunai, Ayane Amamiya threw a punch to the side!

Water Instant Body can only be described as a basic version of Flying Thunder God.

But as a "speedster" who is also skilled in high-speed movement, she is very familiar with this kind of lightning-fast attack and has a wealth of experience!

It does not require visual observation, but relies solely on powerful perception.

Ayane Amamiya can accurately locate and even predict Minato Namikaze's movements!

Bang~!

As if throwing himself into her arms, Minato Namikaze crashed directly into her fist.

Fists and arms meet!

A muffled thud was heard.

Minato Namikaze's arm twisted from the blow, and his kunai slipped from his grasp, but he quickly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again, changing his position.

This time.

He reversed his previous forward momentum and descended from the sky.

While biting the Flying Thunder God kunai that had slipped from his grasp, Minato had already broken through to at least the woman's front.

He turned his back to Ayane Amamiya, half-squatting, lowering his body, and bending his single arm behind him, aiming for her lower abdomen—

Then came a powerful elbow strike!

Ayane Amamiya stood firm, neither dodging nor avoiding, choosing to raise her knee and meet the attack head-on.

boom!

Another muffled thud sounded.

Minato Namikaze's body jolted, and the force from the arm pushed him forward, almost causing him to fall to the ground.

He actually lost to a female ninja who was two years younger than him in a contest of strength!

Ignoring his astonishment, he sensed the markers in the space once more.

Flying Thunder God!

Sizzle!

The stun gun, buzzing and crackling, missed its target by a mere millisecond, impaling itself on the ground.

The three little ones were completely mesmerized.

The two close-quarters combat clashes between Ayane Amamiya and Minato Namikaze looked like Flash Strike to them!

Only Nagato.

With his Rinnegan's extraordinary vision, he was able to barely see the two people's movements.

"You're as annoying as a flea!"

Seeing that her counterattack had failed, Ayane Amamiya stopped and coldly gave her assessment.

From beginning to end, she stood still, majestic as a mountain.

Like a mother hen, she firmly protected Mei Terumi, Minami, and the others behind her.

"Well, although your description sounds ugly, there's nothing we can do about it."

Minato twirled the kunai in his hand, a smile spreading across his face.

Instead, he praised Ayane Amamiya: "The main problem is that your defense is too tight, leaving me no opening at all. Every well-planned attack is in vain."

Because of Kushina's departure.

Minato Namikaze has no chance to see the Nine-Tails now, nor has he mastered the Rasengan, a high-damage close-combat ninjutsu.

However, the Flying Thunder God Technique's super-speed characteristic is completely unsuitable for other ninjutsu.

Therefore, he can only engage in close combat using the weapons at his disposal, just like Tobirama Senju did back then.

In Ayane Amamiya's opinion.

Nowadays, Minato Namikaze is less like an elusive assassin and more like a buzzing mosquito circling around himself!

"That's the end of the boring small talk."

Despite receiving praise, Ayane Amamiya showed no appreciation.

The girl whispered, "You won't be so lucky next time."

After saying that, Ayane Amamiya stomped her foot on the ground.

A violent blue current, centered on her, spread like a spider web to the entire damp ground and puddles in an instant!

Lightning Release: Earth Walk!

Upon seeing this scene, some unpleasant memories instantly surfaced in Minato Namikaze's mind.

Are you going to use that same move you used in the Chunin Exams to defeat me again?

If I allow the opponent to unleash their lightning techniques, then all my Flying Thunder God kunai will be rendered useless.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

As if hearing Minato's thoughts, Fugaku Uchiha, who was standing nearby, finally made his move.

He wasn't slacking off just now.

In fact, with the rapid physical combat exchange earlier, even with his Sharingan, he couldn't get involved at all!

Now we finally see an opportunity.

Fugaku Uchiha opened his mouth and spewed out a torrent of flames.

The Uchiha clan has always been skilled in fire-style techniques and throwing ninja tools, and Fugaku, as the young clan leader, is far ahead in fire-style techniques!

The crimson flames transformed into a powerful firestorm.

It spread out beneath his feet, instantly turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire!

Minato Namikaze also unusually put down his kunai and formed hand seals to cast a spell.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

This combined ninjutsu technique is incredibly powerful.

With the wind and fire combined, the surging flames resembled a neatly arranged military formation, leaving no room for evasion.

Upon seeing this, Ayane Amamiya frowned slightly and took a few steps back for the first time.

One reason is that he is just a shadow clone.

She worried that if they got too close, she wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of the ninjutsu spreading out and her body would be shattered.

On the other hand, it was because she needed to protect the four people behind her.

The girl had to devote some of her energy to actively defending the four people behind her.

Facing the surging flames, Ayane Amamiya did not hesitate for long.

She clapped her hands together, her chakra flowing through her body, and she prepared for ninjutsu as well.

Water Release: Water Chaos!

His cheeks puffed out, and a stream of water shot out from his mouth.

Thanks to the numerous casting speed bonuses provided by the panel, this ninjutsu managed to strike first despite being a second mover!

Water and fire collide!

A loud hissing sound filled the air, and thick, scalding steam billowed up inside the house, temporarily obscuring the view of the group.

However, this thing had absolutely no effect on Fugaku.

The Sharingan only moved slightly.

He quickly pinpointed Ayane Amamiya's location within the fog.

shhhhhh!

More than a dozen ninja tools connected by steel wires flew toward the target in the steam.

Fugaku Uchiha pulled on the steel cables in his hands, like a puppeteer manipulating puppets, while thinking to himself: Very good! So far, everything is going according to my and Minato's plan.

From the rapid attack of the Flying Thunder God Technique to the clash of water and fire ninjutsu.

Fugaku and Minato had only one goal: to tie the other side to the three little ones and put them in a passive position!

Although doing this sounds shameless.

After all, they were not only bullying the weak, but also outnumbering the weak—and they were only fighting a shadow clone!

But that's just how ninjas are.

They only pursue the most efficient way to defeat their opponents, and they don't hesitate to use any despicable means!

"Watergate".

As he tugged at the wire in his hand, he reminded him, "Ready? You can use that move now!"

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, instantly understanding, and replied in a deep voice, "Understood!"

He is a very thoughtful person.

Despite having only been in the Uchiha clan's team for a short time, Minato Namikaze possessed exceptional talent and created numerous tactics to fight alongside these "red-eyed" individuals.

The illusion technique that Mei Terumi used to hypnotize me just now was one of them.

Fugaku Uchiha stopped talking nonsense.

At this moment, he had four fingers on each hand wrapped with wire, leaving only his thumbs free.

Fugaku then used only his two thumbs to form the mudra.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

The dragon-shaped stream of flames spread directly along the steel cable, penetrating deep into the thick steam.

Through the fog, Fugaku's Sharingan could see clearly.

The shadow clone activated an earthen wall, blocking its own ninja tools from entering.

He gave a signal with a glance.

Minato Namikaze vanished instantly, immediately using the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport above the steel cable!

In an instant.

He moved with incredible speed, flashing wildly among the numerous ninja tools, his figure transforming into a beam of golden light!

Bang Bang Bang ~!

Minato Namikaze nimbly maneuvered, using both hands and feet to kick, smash, stomp, and bounce on the steel cable.

Using Fugaku's remote control and his own high-speed movement, he guided the flames that were originally coming straight at him, passing over the earthen wall and refracting them into a three-dimensional fire net that came from all directions, even from above and below!

Ayane Amamiya's gaze was cold and sharp.

Because of the Flying Thunder God Technique, she was actually very careful about every ninja tool in the battle, fearing that the opponent might try to pass off inferior ones as genuine.

But she really didn't expect it.

All the ninja tools in front of me are marked with the Flying Thunder God symbol; not a single one is clean!

The girl opened her arms, palms facing left and right.

A hemispherical wall of water shot out horizontally from her palm, expanding outwards in an attempt to block the fire net.

But Minato Namikaze smiled slightly, revealing an expression of determination.

"Amamiya-san, witness the epic combination attack from me and the captain!"

Minato Namikaze flashed and suddenly appeared on an open space to the side, clearly pronouncing the name of the technique: "The ultimate killing move called Fire Release: Flash Dance Sky God Fire Blaze Style!"

The words fell.

The sky was filled with fire, exploding like fireworks!

However, behind the dazzling beauty lies a deadly danger!

boom!

Like a petrol bomb being detonated on the spot, the house shook and tiles fell down with a thud.

Countless impacts from all directions instantly blasted Ayane Amamiya to pieces!

This shadow clone has finally reached its limit!

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why this combination produced such great power is actually not complicated in principle.

That's a steam explosion!

Fugaku's ninjutsu originally could not have achieved such a large area of ​​effect.

But with Minato Namikaze, Fugaku could first attach Fire Release ninjutsu to ninja tools, and then have Minato Namikaze change position to achieve saturation coverage!

High-pressure steam that heats up rapidly is confined to a tiny space and then explodes instantly!

As long as Ayane Amamiya wants to protect the three little ones behind her, she cannot leave this space and must endure this impact head-on!

This move was a lucky accident.

In fact, the principle is very similar to the famous technique of the second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, called Steam Explosion!

However, it lacks the final recycling process.

"Next, as long as I can take Nagato away before his main body returns—" Minato Namikaze muttered to himself, without speaking.

Because he had already seen Fugaku walking towards the three little ones, he didn't need to remind him at all.

The impact of the high-pressure steam pushed the three of them far away, causing them to fall into a coma.

"The name of your ninjutsu sounds pretty good—"

Just as he was catching his breath and trying to regain his strength, a voice suddenly came.

His voice was clear and bright, unlike Captain Fugaku's serious tone.

Minato Namikaze was startled.

He stood on the ruins, turned his head, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the person who came. His pupils contracted.

This is----

Ayane Amamiya's true form!

Upon seeing the ninja sword hanging on the left side of the girl's slender waist, Minato Namikaze's gaze suddenly froze, and his initial joy vanished in an instant.

Oops!

The most dangerous situation still occurred.

Although he and the captain worked together to successfully destroy the opponent's shadow clone, they were also delayed until the opponent's main body could return to provide support.

His heart sank uncontrollably.

Even just creating a shadow clone took a tremendous amount of effort from both himself and Captain Fugaku.

Now the main body is here—

Minato Namikaze forced himself to calm down, his gaze fixed on the girl, not daring to look away for a moment, while he softly called out, "Captain?"

There was complete silence, no response.

Aside from the sound of my own breathing, all I could hear was the patter of the heavy rain.

Captain Fugaku wouldn't be—

Ayane Amamiya crossed her arms leisurely and chuckled, "Minato Namikaze, look behind you again?"

Fugaku Uchiha, who had just gone to arrest the man, was now lying in the pool, his fate unknown.

Tears and blood flowed from his body, staining a large area of ​​rainwater around him red.

What exactly happened?

Minato Namikaze didn't have time to think about this problem.

He knew in his heart that he was no match for his opponent to begin with, and now that he had lost his captain as a powerful ally, how could he possibly contend with them?

Flying Thunder God!

In this critical moment, Minato Namikaze had no choice but to trust once again this space-time ninjutsu that had saved him from danger countless times!

However, this time...

The all-powerful Flying Thunder God no longer responded to his call.

Although Minato Namikaze could still vaguely sense the Flying Thunder God Mark around him, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, binding his body firmly to the spot.

Minato Namikaze.

"Back in Konoha, I kindly let you go—"

In the torrential rain.

Ayane Amamiya slowly approached.

The girl drew the Storm Cutter from its scabbard. The sharp blade reflected the lightning in the sky, its edge exuding a chilling aura and faintly shrouded in white mist.

"But you are courting death, following me all the way to the Land of Water, and even trying to ambush my companions."

"Do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

The red-haired girl came to him, her amber eyes fixed on Minato Namikaze's face.

"A flash of light falling in the rain —"

This time, you have nowhere to run!

Along with the whispers came the gleaming light of a blade.

Ayane Amamiya met Minato Namikaze's terrified gaze and swung her sword with all her might!

This time, she didn't hesitate for a moment.

Storm Slash descended straight down!
