Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 198 The Power of a Demigod: Rain Shadow's Famous Weapon Rules a Region (5K)

[Successfully unleashed a three-elemental composite ninjutsu]

The "Combined Ninjutsu Master" entry is now available, increasing the power of current ninjutsu by 60%!

The prompts on the panel are constantly flashing.

Once she entered battle mode, Ayane Amamiya's stats kept increasing every moment!

Hanzo's Exploding Flame Array is indeed very powerful.

However, the destructive power of this ninjutsu largely comes from its unexpectedness.

At this moment, in a direct confrontation, Ayane Amamiya's composite ninjutsu, composed of water, wind, and lightning attributes, was able to completely suppress the opponent.

However, the battle with Hanzo the Salamander was far from over.

Separated by the wall formed by lightning and water, Ayane Amamiya completely abandoned the idea of ​​close-range ambush combat.

The previous encounters have already made that clear.

Hanzo's understanding and judgment of swordsmanship and the Body Flicker Technique are far superior to his current level.

He could even perfectly predict the landing point of his Water Flicker Body using chakra fluctuations.

Therefore, it's best not to try to teach someone a lesson.

What we need to do now is to leverage our strengths!

Ayane Amamiya stood still in place.

The hem of the girl's black trench coat swayed and fluttered in the airflow.

She pulled the Storm Cutter from the ground, then with a clang, she sheathed it without even looking.

This is originally the sheathing stance, one of the eight major fighting techniques of the samurai.

Its specific status is similar to the reconciliation seal used by ninjas during sparring.

However, thanks to the effect of the [Water Release Chakra Mode] modifier, Ayane Amamiya replaced the hand seals of a ninjutsu with this dashing sword-sheathing action.

Boom!

A sudden upheaval occurred from nowhere.

A jet of water shot up from the ground!

Ayane Amamiya stood atop it, as if sitting in the heavens, looking down from a high vantage point.

Hanzo the Salamander, wanting to satisfy his own curiosity and also to build momentum for the other party, had no intention of interrupting at this moment.

However, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Looking up, he only revealed his right hand holding the scythe, while his left hand remained hidden in his sleeve, forming the hand seal for the Body Flicker Technique, poised to strike and ready to dodge at any moment.

In pursuit of the ultimate power of ninjutsu, Ayane Amamiya did not simplify the hand seals too much this time.

The chakra within the girl's body went completely berserk!

In that instant, her hands were flying so fast they were almost invisible.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

Lightning Release: Lightning Fang Rush!

Wind Release: Sky-Slicing Wave!

Earth Release: Rock Stream Spear!

Even though most of them are low-level ninjutsu at the C-rank.

But now, she wields it with ease, and the dazzling brilliance pours down like a torrential rain of meteors. The quantitative change directly leads to a qualitative change, and the momentum is chilling!

Hanzo narrowed his eyes.

Despite the abundance of ninjutsu.

However, he still managed to spot a few places where he could dodge, but who knows, they might be traps left by the other side.

Moreover.

Even if the girl gave up close combat and only used ninjutsu to fight him.

But what can we do?

A sense of arrogance, befitting a "demigod of the ninja world," suddenly arose in Hanzo's heart.

Although I am old—

But the unyielding spirit in his heart never weakened in the slightest!

He took a deep breath, formed a mudra with his hands, held his breath until his chest almost caved in, and then exhaled sharply!

Water Release: Great Explosive Rush!

Like a waterfall hanging upside down, or a great river flying into the sky, a rumbling torrent surged upwards against the current, directly catching all the ninjutsu head-on!

Looking from afar.

The two figures, one tall and one short, resembled a battle between a god and a mortal in legend.

Boom!

Amidst the sounds of ninja techniques clashing.

A ring-shaped shockwave, almost tangible, suddenly appeared in the air and spread outwards!

The immense force pushed away all the rain from the sky, creating a huge spherical vacuum area.

"Croak! Is this what a battle between top-tier powerhouses looks like? It's so exciting to watch! Even if they die, it's still amazing—" An excited voice came from afar.

But before he could finish speaking, his companion interrupted, "Stop talking nonsense and get back!"

The candidates and examiners who were observing had already retreated more than fifty meters away.

After witnessing this overwhelming spectacle, they had to move again to avoid the ensuing turmoil.

Jonin slaughtering Genin is as easy as killing chickens and dogs.

But when these two started fighting, they were no different from those low-ranking ninjas.

Amidst a deafening roar.

Hanzo the Salamander remained standing still.

He was panting heavily.

After a brief stalemate, he actually lost in terms of ninjutsu endurance!

Is it the super-excessive chakra from the Uzumaki bloodline? To be able to unleash so many ninjutsu in one go—

Simultaneously possessing all five attributes, and able to coordinate with each other, it unleashes an effect far exceeding the power of a low-level ninjutsu.

This thought suddenly flashed through Hanzo's mind.

He was already somewhat numb to the surprises that Ayane Amamiya had revealed.

If she had been born in Konoha—”

Hanzo shuddered and didn't dare to think any further.

At this moment, the ninjutsu defense above their heads finally collapsed under the continuous bombardment.

The dazzling fireworks overhead fell one after another, a mixture of water and fire, wind and thunder, and earthen spears and pointed guns.

Hanzo managed to regulate his breathing.

He forced a breath from his chest.

This time, he abandoned his previous idea of ​​using ninjutsu to fight and completely stopped holding back his strength.

If we lose —

How can one face others and accept them as disciples after this?

The old man's figure flashed, transforming into a ghost, choosing to live in the face of death.

Amidst dozens of astonished and bewildered gazes, Hanzo the Salamander charged upwards amidst the overwhelming onslaught!

Amidst the dazzling array of complex ninjutsu.

The old man continuously activated his high-frequency Water Body Technique, his figure carrying a sickle disappearing in the air in a flash!

The wind escaped past the hem of his clothes, and he couldn't catch up with him!

The fire escape technique drifted away from his face, unable to burn him!

His not-so-robust body constantly condensed and dissipated in the water vapor. If viewed with the naked eye, one could only catch the afterimages of Hanzo as he moved!

If the Flying Thunder God Technique can traverse thousands of miles with a thought, it represents the ultimate speed of space-time ninjutsu.

So.

The Water Instantaneous Body technique that Hanzo is using at this moment is the ultimate expression of unrestrained movement within a small space, and it is the culmination of all instantaneous body techniques in the world!

Within this small space, everything is me!

The visual effects of this scene look absolutely outrageous.

Even Ayane Amamiya, a seasoned user of the Water Instantaneous Body Technique, was shaken by the sight and was awestruck by the aura of this demigod!

*Sizzle!*

The steel cable sickle suddenly drew a jet-black arc, without a trace of smoke or fire.

Somewhat stunned, Ayane Amamiya promptly raised her hands in surrender: "Boss, I surrender!"

This battle is pointless now.

Her tactical intention to use ninjutsu to bombard Hanzo from a distance and deplete his chakra had completely failed.

Although I could still barely resist if things continued this way.

But the only hope is that Hanzo's stamina will be exhausted before Hanzo's defeat.

whoosh whoosh whoosh————

Upon hearing the girl's voice, Hanzo reappeared.

Large sips of white steam were billowing from the respirator in front of his mouth and nose.

The continuous high-frequency Water Instantaneous Movement he just performed was a show he seemed to have returned to his peak condition, which consumed a huge amount of physical strength and chakra.

Even if he were to do it again now, he wouldn't be able to replicate it perfectly.

"You still need to work harder!"

To avoid losing face to his new disciple, Hanzo of the Salamander suppressed his erratic breathing and said haltingly, "Now, do you know—my strength?"

Ayane Amamiya had no choice but to nod.

What could she say to such a strong-willed old woman?

"Thank you for your guidance, Chief!"

She thanked him and then stepped forward to support him, afraid that Hanzo might lose his balance and fall directly down the high column of water.

At Ayane Amamiya's suggestion.

The salamander in the distance finally came to its senses and remembered its identity.

"According to the regulations for the Jonin promotion examination—"

He cautiously approached, keeping a safe distance from the two, and then announced, "After failing the first round, there will be a second round of assessment!"

After glancing at the examiners over there, Shinta coughed again: "So, is there anyone willing to volunteer as an examiner for the second round of the Amemiya Chunin exam?"

No one answered.

A group of Jonin shook their heads in perfect unison, much like kindergarten children being questioned by their teacher about who had stolen their snacks; the scene was almost comical.

joke.

Given the other party's previous behavior, should I just go up and get beaten up unilaterally?

"this----"

Shinta waited a while, but when no one responded, he glanced at Ayane Amamiya and gestured for her to choose for herself.

Actually, he felt a little uneasy.

If none of you take the initiative, won't the Rain Palace pick me when it's time to call on someone?

After all, only he and the woodpecker were present, and they were acquaintances of the other party.

Although he had previously considered becoming one of the examiners.

But now, he only feels that his past self was too naive!

Ayane Amamiya looked around.

The moment the servants met her gaze, they either shrank back like quails or flashed a friendly smile tinged with unease.

Fortunately, Hanzo of the Salamander didn't make things difficult for her, and directly helped the girl out, saying, "In that case, let's just consider it a pass. I doubt anyone will have any objections, right?"

"No!"

The Jonin responded very enthusiastically, as if afraid of making a fool of themselves if they went up there.

Seeing this, the Salamander God announced, "In that case, Chunin Ayane Amamiya has passed the Jonin promotion exam!"

He took out a headband he had prepared long ago and handed it directly to the girl: "I hereby confer upon you the official Jonin rank of Amegakure!"

You have earned a new title!

The moment I received the headband with both hands, a new notification popped up on the panel.

Ayane Amamiya didn't look away; instead, she put on her headband on the spot.

Suddenly, a thought came to her mind.

My Chunin headband, personally awarded by Mito Uzumaki and brimming with prestige, is still with Kushina.

Hanzo the Salamander patiently waited for her to put on her headband.

Then he turned to the ninjas in front of him and announced, "Gentlemen, as you all know, I am now quite old—"

The ninjas, who were about to leave, paused and looked at their leader.

"In a few years, I'll be fifty!"

He glanced around at the crowd and sighed, "I think for a ninja, this age is quite old, and he might pass away any day now."

That's a bad omen.

But before the crowd could speak or offer any words of comfort.

Hanzo then said loudly, "Fortunately, the Sage of Six Paths took pity on me and allowed me, in my twilight years, to meet a ninja of such magnanimity who is capable of inheriting my mantle for life."

Without him saying a word, everyone turned their attention to the pretty girl standing to the side.

Who else could it be but her?

"Therefore, I have decided to take her as my disciple."

As Hanzo spoke, he looked at Ayane Amamiya and asked solemnly, "Ayane, are you willing to inherit my will, and from now on join my sect to revitalize Amegakure?"

Enter my tutelage, and prosperity will be yours in seclusion.

There are no fools among the ninjas who can become Jonin.

They silently repeated the words in their hearts, pondering their meaning, and then silently looked at the girl.

Ayane Amamiya took a deep breath.

"This ambition—"

She knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "This disciple will remember this forever!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo laughed heartily.

As if by magic, he produced a white robe from somewhere and draped it over the girl.

The surrounding attendants were taken aback.

This is the sacred robe symbolizing the shadow of rain, the name and vessel symbolizing the shadow of a village, and should never be given to anyone lightly.

Its importance lies only in the supreme position of Yu Ying Jing Li.

But Hanzo, the leader, handed it over so easily—

The astonishment of those around them was too much for Ayane Amamiya to notice.

The girl kowtowed three times earnestly.

Then, the moment after I got up, a new prompt appeared on the panel.

You have earned a new title!

"I have a long-term task for you."

The next day.

With her new identity, Ayane Amamiya arrives at Hanzo's office and receives her first mission since becoming a demigod's disciple.

"It has been half a year since the Chunin Exams ended."

Hanzo pushed a scroll over, saying, "I wonder if you remember the bet we made with the Fire Daimyo back in Mokukō?"

Ayane Amamiya was taken aback: "The Land of Rivers?"

She remembered this enclave that was forever located outside the borders of the Land of Rain.

This was something I won from Konoha after winning the Chunin Exams.

"good!"

Hanzo nodded: "The five cities and more than forty towns in the River Country, as well as the Wood City and the Hundred Families of Fire, have been completely handed over before the New Year and are waiting for us to take over."

Ayane Amamiya responded.

She thought to herself, "This little bit of stuff isn't even a quarter the size of the Rain Kingdom. No wonder Mu Kang didn't feel bad about selling it."

Of course, there is another possibility.

That is because Mu Kang believed he could reclaim the Land of Rivers during the Second Shinobi World War, so sending it away first was fine; consider it a small reward for Amegakure.

Such incidents are not uncommon in small countries.

For example, the Grass Country that Nogi longs for is notoriously indecisive, constantly shifting between the rugged wood and the hidden rocky outcrops.

"I intend to let you govern the River Kingdom with pigs."

Hanzo solemnly announced his plan for the girl: "For the next five years, or until the Lower Ninja War, you will be in charge of all military and political affairs within the Land of Rivers, assimilate the local people, and spread the fame of the Land of Rain."

Okay?

Ayane Amamiya was sweating just listening to it.

This task wasn't about chopping things up, but about burying oneself in construction and farming.

However, now that I've taken on the title of "Inheritor of the Will of Rain," this is something I'll have to face sooner or later.

She gripped the canal shaft tightly in her hand and said seriously, "I understand."

Hanzo smiled and looked at his disciple encouragingly, saying, "The Land of Rivers is not a place, and besides, it wasn't originally part of the Land of Rain."

He waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want without worrying about the consequences. You can just return the money if you can't handle it."

Ayane Amamiya understood.

Their leader's intention was: if things really couldn't be managed, then they would treat the River Country as a blood bank, relentlessly exploiting the local populace to support their own nation.

Waiting until the very end to wash one's hands of the mess and exhaust the enemy is not a bad strategy.

But doing it this way doesn't sound good.

Even though Ayane Amamiya considers herself to have extremely low moral standards, she hasn't stooped to that level yet.

She simply kept this plan to herself, treating it as her last resort.

The girl's mind raced.

Suddenly, I caught a key point in the Hanzang language.

"Military and political matters?"

Ayane Amamiya asked in confusion, "Doesn't the Land of Rivers have its own daimyo?"

"The River Country's Five Names? That's nothing but a glutton who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun."

Hanzo shook his head: "When you go to the Land of Rivers, the first thing you need to do is find a way to get him to cooperate with your work!"

Ayane Amamiya nodded thoughtfully.

She glanced at Hanzo and tentatively asked, "What if he can't think straight and refuses to cooperate—"

Hanzo didn't speak, he just looked at her and smiled.

Ayane Amamiya immediately smiled as well.

Hehehe.

The master and his apprentice exchanged a knowing laugh—

"In addition, you must also be wary of enemies outside the River Kingdom."

"The Land of Rivers is located between the three kingdoms of Fire, Wind, and Rain, and it does not have its own ninja village, so its military strength is weak."

Hanzo then changed the subject, pointing out, "So whether it's Konoha, Sunagakure, or wandering ninjas, they all frequently appear here."

He said earnestly, "When you go to the River Country, the thing you need to watch out for most is these troublemakers!"

Ayane Amamiya took notes carefully.

She didn't ask why Sunagakure was included in the list of places to be guarded against.

Although a treaty of friendship has been signed between the two countries, stipulating that they should avoid each other if they encounter each other while carrying out missions—

However, the River Country is ultimately a nation, and the interests involved far outweigh any ordinary mission.

Money requires careful consideration, especially in the Sand Village, where they're so poor they're practically penniless.

"For this operation, I will give you Ren Baixi's regular ninja unit."

"Furthermore, four squads from the Dark Guard will be dispatched at your disposal!"

"And that guy Goat, he's experienced and shrewd. He can be your advisor. Ask him for advice if you need anything."

After explaining all the arrangements, Hanzo concluded with a deep sigh, "Be careful in everything, safety first."

Ayane Amamiya took a deep breath and said, "Understood!"
