Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 194 The New Three-Tails Jinchuriki

Night was falling.

Warm lights were lit in Ayane Amamiya's home, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Tonight, unusually, it didn't rain in Amegakure. A few stubborn stars even managed to peek out from behind the clouds, twinkling in the sky and releasing their faint light.

"Cheers!"

A joyful shout of congratulations rang out, followed by the crisp clinking of glasses.

It's a bit difficult to explain.

Don't be fooled by the fact that most of the people at this table are ruthless, killing-type ninjas; apart from Yakushi Nonou, they are all underage.

Therefore, everyone could only look at Nono with envy before obediently replacing alcohol with beverages.

Terumi Mei was a newcomer.

Kirigakure has many bloodline families and is a place with a strong family culture, so she was naturally deeply influenced by it.

Mei Terumi had assumed that this would be a banquet like this.

As the hostess here, Ayane Amamiya has to say something after raising her glass.

Therefore, after clinking glasses, the young girl sat obediently and waited expectantly.

To my surprise, the other person finished the juice in one gulp and then wielded their chopsticks with lightning speed, showing absolutely no interest in that aspect!

Pharmacist Nonou noticed her movements and asked considerately, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

She was the head chef for this banquet.

Before firing, considering that the other party was from the Land of Water, Nonou made sure to prepare something light!

"Ah—no, no."

Mei Terumi quickly shook her head, then tried to explain, "I'm just... not quite used to it—uh, not really—"

She felt like the more she explained, the worse it got.

"I understand."

"When you come to a new place, you always need to gradually adapt."

Yakushi Nonou adjusted her glasses, her eyes behind the lenses gazing at her with gentle eyes: "But this place isn't like Kirigakure, there aren't as many rules. Just treat it like home and relax."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi asked curiously, "You seem to have been to the Land of Water? You seem to know a lot about its customs?"

"I have indeed been there several times in the past."

Yakushi Nonou smiled slightly: "But my luck has never been very good. The first time I went, a fire broke out at the place where I was staying, which destroyed many buildings. The second time I went, I was almost mistaken for a spy, but luckily I cleared things up in time."

Mei Terumi immediately felt sympathy and exclaimed, "That's really unfortunate."

Not understanding her meaning, she earnestly promised, "Some of the ninjas in the village do have issues with their work attitude. If you ever go to the Land of Water again, you can come with me!"

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya couldn't help but gently kick Nono Yakushi under the table.

You cunning bastard, you'd better stop now!

After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.

Ayane Amamiya pulled Ri Takenaka into the room upstairs.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Takenaka Rin is busy with her post-meal exercise routine.

Of course, this refers to her so-called weight loss exercise.

Actually, I was just bragging to the three kids, showing off my amazing achievements of staying home alone during this time.

However, even when she was in the middle of a great time and was dragged away by Ayane Amamiya, Risa Takenaka was not annoyed at all.

Instead, she leaned closer, rested her head on Ayane's shoulder, and chuckled, "Ayane-chan~ Have you been away from home for too long and can't sleep in a new bed anymore? Do you want me to warm your bed for you tonight?"

"Can you please stop being so vulgar?"

Ayane Amamiya was amused by her smug and silly expression.

But the girl pretended to be disgusted and gently pushed Takenaka Ri's head away: "I told you to read less teen novels."

"What am I supposed to do if I don't read novels?"

Takenaka Ri shrugged, speaking with conviction: "You, as the captain, are absent from the Anbu nine days out of ten, yet the Black Swan Squad's organizational structure is still intact—"

Goat, the high-ranking officer in charge of the Black Swan team, is a seasoned veteran who has mastered the essence of the workplace.

Out of consideration for Ayane Amamiya, he never disbanded the squad and continued to pay her monthly salary.

But he didn't always keep idle people around.

On the contrary, the goat would assign a bunch of tasks to the Black Swan team every now and then.

However, these tasks all have one thing in common.

That means there's no need for fieldwork, and there's absolutely no danger involved.

Woodpecker, a middle-aged man approaching forty, is eager to retire early and become a grandfather, and naturally enjoys it immensely.

But after a while, Ritsuko Takenaka inevitably gets a bit boring.

Fortunately, as Ayane Amamiya's head housekeeper, she was usually responsible for following up on the orphanage's construction project and managing the small group's finances; otherwise, she would probably be bored to death all day.

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya tapped her forehead but said nothing more.

She took the fist-sized three-tailed creature out of her pocket and waved it in front of Takenaka Ri: "Here, this is a gift I prepared especially for you."

This guy also managed to get quite a bit of food at the dinner table.

At this point, they're just like pigs; once they're full, they sleep and can't be woken up.

"This is... a sea turtle? Why does it have thorns?"

"You gave me this to see who lives longer, me or it?"

Don't be fooled by Takenaka Ri's taciturn and extremely cold demeanor while working in the ANBU.

But in front of Ayane Amamiya, she's just a big, lively character.

Seeing the three-tailed fox fast asleep, he couldn't help but retort: ​​"This gift—it looks like something only a middle-aged person my dad's age would pick out—"

Ayane Amamiya ignored her.

After thinking for a moment, the girl decided to remove the seal on the Three-Tails.

The Three-Tails behaved extremely well along the way, so well-behaved that it didn't seem like a tailed beast at all, a stark contrast to its behavior when it fought me earlier.

This inevitably made Ayane Amamiya suspicious.

Perhaps the three-tailed creature is just like its appearance, inherently a homebody who doesn't like to move around.

It was only because he had been disciplined by the great villain Madara Uchiha that he unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball at him without a word.

Golden light burst forth.

The Vajra chains hidden on the three-tailed turtle's shell quietly emerged one by one, and then were all retrieved by Ayane Amamiya with a "whoosh".

This is the mastermind who has been suppressing the Three-Tails all the way.

As the Vajra Chain departed, the three-tailed turtle's shell became even more verdant, and its body even became moist, emanating a faint, refreshing scent of water.

This is what makes the Tailed Beasts so extraordinary.

If left unchecked, the area where the Three-Tails resides might transform into a natural lake in just a few months!

But the Three-Tails seemed completely oblivious to Ayane Amamiya's actions.

It just seemed to be sleeping in a much more relaxed position than before, with its short limbs and head peeking out of its shell—

"Don't underestimate it."

"It's no ordinary sea turtle."

Ayane Amamiya didn't care whether the guy was really asleep or pretending. She turned to Ri Takenaka and smiled, "This is a sea turtle with infinite chakra, a sea turtle with its own name!"

Takenaka Ri blinked blankly, "Huh?"

"It is called the Three-Tails, and it is the most proficient in water-style chakra among the nine tailed beasts in the ninja world."

Ayane Amamiya explained softly, "By sealing the Three-Tails into your body, you can borrow its chakra and instantly become one of the strongest ninjas in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Takenaka Rin realized what was happening: "You want to seal it inside my body?"

"What? It won't work?"

"Uh...wouldn't that be too wasteful?"

Takenaka Rin scratched her head: "It sounds like this turtle is quite precious. Why don't we keep it for Minami and the others?"

Anyway, I don't go on missions much, so I don't encounter any danger.

She gave several reasons in a row.

But Ayane Amamiya stuck a finger into his lips and blocked them.

The girl silenced him completely with just one simple sentence.

"The Three-Tails is not as precious as you."

She stared into the girl's eyes, interrupting her hesitation once again, and said seriously, "Even if you put the strongest Nine-Tails here, my answer would be the same."

Takenaka Rin: "————"

Damn it!

Ayane doesn't usually read novels, does she?

Why do you always say things that make my heart flutter?

She felt both happy and sweet, so she simply stopped resisting.

Instead, she asked in a low voice, "Then how are you going to seal it into my body?"

Takenaka Ri's imagination ran wild. She glanced at the Three-Tailed Beast again and said weakly, "Uh—I'm not supposed to eat it, am I? This thing looks like it'll take a lot of teeth to chew—"

The voice just fell.

The three-tailed creature beside it immediately and inconspicuously shrank back.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ayane Amamiya was convinced.

No wonder she's a seasoned glutton, just like the Three-Tailed Fox.

She said irritably, "I'll use the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique then. As the Jinchūriki, you just need to stay put and not move around!"

After saying that, Ayane Amamiya added regretfully, "Actually, I had another plan. That plan probably wouldn't require sealing the Three-Tails inside your body. But unfortunately, it lacked one crucial element, and I don't know where to find it—"

Sealing tailed beasts into the bodies of Jinchuriki is the most common practice in the ninja world.

But with the knowledge and experience of two lifetimes, Amamiya Shine had another audacious idea in her mind: to perform an external sealing!

However, this idea has a major challenge.

That is, it is very difficult to find a suitable sealing object.

For example, the Amber Purification Bottle is a ninja tool left behind by the Sage of Six Paths. While it can certainly hold tailed beasts, its rarity is self-evident; there are only a handful in the entire ninja world.

Moreover, even if the tailed beasts were put into the amber bottle...

Its owner also finds it difficult to draw upon the power of the tailed beast from the bottle during battle and use it for their own purposes.

In Ayane Amamiya's heart.

In the entire ninja world, the most suitable external sealing object is none other than Itachi Uchiha's Totsuka Blade!

This sword, as a weapon, is convenient to use in battle at any time. At the same time, it is naturally endowed with sealing abilities and is also an invisible spiritual artifact. Its various characteristics are simply a perfect match for her concept!

Unfortunately—

At this point in time, it's uncertain whether Uchiha Shisui has even been born yet.

Where am I supposed to wait for Itachi Uchiha?

Moreover, it's still hard to say whether the Totsuka Blade was part of Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo or whether he found it somewhere in the ninja world.

"What's the difference between 'inside' and 'outside'?"

Pear in the bamboo grove was completely bewildered.

"If it's sealed inside your body, you and it will be bound together by life and death from now on."

Ayane Amamiya explained softly, "Once the tailed beast is extracted from your body, you will surely die."

As the girl spoke, her expression suddenly became somewhat conflicted.

Instead of being intimidated, Takenaka Rin hesitated first.

in fact.

Knowing that Madara Uchiha intended to retrieve the nine tailed beasts, sealing the Three-Tails into Takenaka Risa's body might not have been a wise move.

But then again.

Besides the tailed beasts, what else in the ninja world can allow an ordinary ninja to rise to the top in one step?

Perhaps, only the cursed seal that Orochimaru will develop in the future will work —

Ayane Amamiya was naturally afraid that Risa Takenaka would become Madara Uchiha's future target.

But she feared even more that before that day came, her mediocre opponent would die in some unexpected accident in the ninja world.

"What? Is that all the consequences are?"

Takenaka Rin noticed her hesitation.

The girl smiled and said with a wise but foolish air, "What good thing in this world doesn't come without effort? Don't tell me you don't understand this principle."

She then lifted the three-tailed creature that was lying on the table, stared at it closely, and said with a seemingly happy but actually comforting tone, "Although it looked ugly at first glance, after staring at it for a while, I found that this three-tailed creature is actually quite cute!"

That's true, the three-tailed fox is indeed ugly-cute.

Ayane Amamiya felt the same way.

But the sea turtle seemed to understand what it meant.

It suddenly opened its sleepy eyes, stared at Takenaka Rin for a few seconds with its tiny, beady eyes, and its human-like gaze was very solemn, as if to say, "Are you being polite?"

When Takenaka Rin was caught red-handed, she was immediately embarrassed.

She quickly shut her mouth, then hurriedly put it down, clasped her hands together, bowed, and apologized, saying, "Private Marseille~!"

Sanwei glanced at the girl again.

Then the sea turtle closed its eyes with a rather haughty air and continued to sleep like a lord.

"So it can understand human speech—"

Takenaka Rin covered her face and muttered a complaint, "Why didn't you tell me?"

What do you think?

Ayane Amamiya shrugged: "Actually, the tailed beasts are smarter than most humans, after all, they have lived for thousands of years."

She changed the subject and said solemnly, "Since you have no objections, let's begin the sealing now."

Zhu Zhongli nodded and agreed.

But then he hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "However, that—"

Ayane Amamiya said softly, "What? You've changed your mind?"

"No, I meant if you use a sealing technique, do I have to take off my clothes?"

The girl's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment: "If—if I have to take off all my clothes, can you turn off the lights and cast a sealing spell?"

""

Ayane Amamiya remained silent.

So, they were actually thinking about such trivial things.

She grabbed Takenaka Ri and pulled her over, then lifted her bunny pajamas to reveal her fair and firm belly, saying with a disdainful look, "It's not like I haven't seen this before, acting like it's your first time—"

"Aaaaaah!"

Takenaka Rin screamed, "Turn off the lights!"

"Hehehe!"

Ayane Amamiya let out a grotesque laugh and shouted, "I won't! Let me admire your body under the light and carve beautiful symbols upon you!"

downstairs.

Yahiko and Nagato had already left, leaving only Konan, Yakushi Nonou, and Terumi Mei sitting together, chatting in hushed tones.

I heard those awful lines coming from upstairs.

The three of them inevitably paused for a moment.

Minami and Yakushi Nonou have grown accustomed to the occasional erratic behavior of these two.

Only Mei Terumi, upon hearing this, frequently looked upstairs.

"Ayane-nee is usually quite reliable."

Konan was a little embarrassed, but she still tried to explain, attempting to save face for Ayane Amamiya: "But I don't know why, whenever she and Ri-nee get together, the two of them start playing—"

"Very flashy!" This is the summary from Pharmacist Nono, accurate and straightforward.

Mei Terumi smiled but didn't say anything.

She didn't mean anything by it!

She just felt that...

It seems the Three-Tails will never be able to return to Kirigakure.
