Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 231 The Legacy of Otsutsuki Urashiki

"Why did you stop singing?"

The door opened and closed, and Mei Terumi walked in with a smile.

Upon hearing the news that Ayane Amamiya had woken up, Mei Terumi was the first to arrive.

At this moment, she changed back into her usual secretary outfit from the River Country: a black and gray suit with thin stockings, and holding a stack of documents in her arms.

At the same time, because she was in a good mood, her outfit became less "classy" and she appeared more poised and elegant.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone, okay?"

Ayane Amamiya frowned, looking pitiful, and said, "Let's just keep what happened as a little secret between us."

.

"Tsk, back at the New Year's concert, someone swore they never had any talents."

Mei Terumi smacked her lips, looking somewhat disdainful.

Seeing her pleading look, he suppressed his secret delight and feigned helplessness, saying, "Fine, I really can't do anything with you."

hoho~

This secret is so powerful I could eat you alive for the rest of my life.

She couldn't help but have some dark thoughts.

On the other hand, Ayane Amamiya chose to abruptly change the subject.

The girl glanced at the stack of documents the other person was holding: "Seriously? I just woke up, and you're already making me do work?"

"Your injury is to your hand, not your brain."

Mei Terumi said speechlessly, "Besides, you are now the ruler of a country. Who else but you can make decisions on certain matters?"

Ayane Amamiya fell silent.

She gave up struggling, leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and said weakly, "Go ahead and talk, I'm listening."

.

"First and foremost, the most important thing."

"It's about the remains of that guy who called himself Otsutsuki Urashiki."

Mei Terumi ignored her slacking off and said seriously, "I think you need to know about this."

In the ninja world.

The ninja's attitude towards corpses can be described as both valuing and disvaluing them.

The reason why it is said that it is not valued is that even a ninja god like Hashirama Senju was exhumed and his grave dug up after his death, let alone the large number of former Kage who were resurrected by Edo Tensei in the original Fourth Shinobi World War.

But let's talk about valuing it—

Actually, it's not a problem!

For example, during the Ninja World War, ninja villages would usually keep an eye on the corpses of enemy ninjas of Jonin rank and above, and use some secret methods to gather intelligence.

Sometimes, even the dead from the same village are studied.

Especially when facing poison masters like Chiyo or Hanzo, it is very common to analyze the composition of toxins through corpses!

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, instantly becoming serious.

Actually, she had wanted to ask this question as soon as she woke up, but Ye Cang was too impulsive to find a chance to speak.

The girl straightened her limp body from the hospital bed.

She inquired, "What's the current situation with Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's body? Is it in our hands? Or has it been taken by Jiraiya, or perhaps Sunagakure?"

Ayane Amamiya mentally assessed the possibilities.

Let's analyze the situation at the scene after I collapsed.

Jiraiya's Sage Mode was completely shut down, but he did not lose his fighting ability, and at the same time, he had the help of two Toad Sages.

Mei Terumi is in pretty good condition, but Sasori has lost his puppet, and Pakura just had her chakra stolen by Urashiki.

In a three-on-one situation, the two sides can only barely be considered evenly matched.

If it really comes down to a fight, Jiraiya's side has a better chance of winning.

"no."

Mei Terumi shook her head: "Jiraiya only took that guy's weapon, that strange red fishing rod and fish basket."

Ayane Amamiya was somewhat surprised.

She exclaimed in surprise, "The body is with us? Jiraiya is actually willing to hand it over?"

"No, not at all."

Mei Terumi sighed, "Yakura and I really wanted to keep it. However, those two talking toads strongly suggested destroying Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's body, saying that some sage prophesied that keeping it would cause endless trouble, and so on—"

She pursed her lips: "As for Jiraiya? He listens to those two toads without question."

Obviously.

Mei Terumi didn't quite understand why the famous Jiraiya would be so humble towards two summoning beasts.

"Furthermore, during the subsequent evacuation of the suffering people of Loulan, Sara also made a request on behalf of Loulan, hoping that the body of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki could be destroyed."

Mei Terumi concluded, "Therefore, after discussions among the three parties, we have unanimously decided to throw Urashiki's corpse into the dragon vein's underground fire in order to quell the dragon vein's rampage."

Ayane Amamiya sensed something was wrong.

This way of disposing of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's body seems fair on the surface, as no one gains anything.

However, based on the new titles on the panel, she deduced that there was likely someone else secretly observing her battle with Urashiki.

Do it now.

Wouldn't that be tantamount to letting this guy who might be lurking in the shadows get away with it?

The girl frowned.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi hesitated and asked, "What? Do you think there's a problem with this approach?"

Ayane Amamiya shook her head.

Unable to voice her thoughts, she could only offer words of comfort: "No, actually it's not bad. After all, Jiraiya contributed a great deal; without him, we would have struggled to win this battle. Giving him a weapon is nothing."

In her opinion, that red fishing rod was just so-so in terms of power, neither particularly good nor bad.

Not to mention it could be blocked by sealing techniques —

"However, I also secretly took something from Urashiki's body."

Mei Terumi, however, changed the subject.

She suddenly revealed a thieving cat expression and said with some regret, "Unfortunately, there was not enough time at the time, so I could only take a very inconspicuous little thing from Pu Shi."

What is meant by a tiny, inconspicuous thing?

Ayane Amamiya was taken aback at first, then her expression instantly turned somewhat strange.

It can't be ———

She raised an eyebrow and urged, "Hurry up and say it! I hate people who only say half of what they mean!"

Terumi Mei glared at her, then furtively took a sealed test tube from her pocket and handed it over with a sly air.

The girl lowered her eyes and looked down.

The test tube was filled with a clear liquid, and at the bottom of the test tube, a golden eye was immersed in the liquid!

The golden Rinnegan on the forehead of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki!

Doesn't this kind of shouting attract attention?

This is clearly the most eye-catching part of Urashiki Otsutsuki's entire body, isn't it?

Ayane Amamiya was about to speak.

But Mei Terumi explained first: "After that guy died, both his eyes remained open, except for the eye between his eyebrows, which closed. So, unless someone specifically lifts up the skin on his forehead, they won't even notice that this eye is missing."

Ayane Amamiya nodded in realization.

The girl lowered her head and met the eyes in the test tube for a moment.

The unique circular patterns of the Rinnegan are exceptionally deep.

Even with the double barrier of nutrient solution and test tube wall, a sense of ancient solemnity still emanated from them after they looked at each other.

It was as if a king standing in the heavens opened his eyes, looking down upon all living beings with a majestic and awe-inspiring presence.

After Urashiki Otsutsuki unlocked his second form, his manic and neurotic state was completely out of place with the temperament of this eye.

"Keep it safe."

Mei Terumi carefully instructed, "This thing looks unusual. I wouldn't feel comfortable hiding it anywhere, so you should keep it close to your body yourself. Also, remember to go to Nono's place every now and then to get the eye preservation solution."

She added, as if to take credit, "I didn't tell anyone about this except for Nono and me, not even that idiot Yekura knew."

Ayane Amamiya hummed in agreement.

The girl noticed that Mei Terumi seemed hesitant to speak, and after a moment's thought, she understood why.

Presumably, after seeing Urashiki's eyes, Mei Terumi thought of Nagato's eyes and became curious.

After all, apart from the color, these two eyes are almost identical in shape, and neither of them has the "nine tomoe" pattern that grows in the Rinne Sharingan like Kaguya Otsutsuki's.

To say that the two are unrelated would be something even a three-year-old wouldn't believe.

"This eye is called the Rinnegan."

Ayane Amamiya thought for a moment and then introduced softly, "It is ranked alongside the Sharingan and Byakugan as one of the three great eye-type bloodlines in the ninja world."

It is also the eye of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, who is said to have founded the Ninja Sect. Known as the Sage's Eye, it houses a peculiar and terrifying eye technique.

"For example, Nagato has now awakened a repulsive eye technique called Shinra Tensei."

"As for the rest—"

The girl shrugged: "Actually, I don't quite understand either. Maybe that birdman called Urashiki is a relative of the Sage of Six Paths?"

Perhaps he's from the same generation as the Sage of Six Paths?

"Birdman————"

Upon hearing this peculiar description, Mei Terumi couldn't help but chuckle.

She didn't actually care about these strange tales; she just preferred the feeling of being trusted by the other person.

"Forget it, just listening to it is troublesome enough."

"These things, I'll leave them to you to explore at your own pace from now on."

Mei Terumi smiled and said, "Now that we've covered the matter of Urashiki Otsutsuki, the rest is news about the Land of Rivers."

She cleared her throat lightly: "From the River Kingdom, there's one piece of news, good and one piece of news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Let's start with the good news."

Ayane Amamiya carefully put the test tubes away in her hospital gown pocket and said lazily, "I'll save the bad news for last. I'm different from others; listening to bad news while eating can stimulate my appetite."

"The good news is that during the two weeks you were asleep, the second batch of aid from the village has been delivered."

Mei Terumi flipped through the documents: "The school, the hospital, and all the administrative departments, along with six hundred combat-ready ninjas, are all in place."

"Currently, there are nearly a thousand ninjas in the combat ranks within the Land of River."

She concluded, "In short, even if you can't act right now, the Land of Rivers still has the strength to fight back even if Konoha launches a surprise attack on us."

Ayane Amamiya nodded.

In fact, the daily resettlement of such a large number of ninjas is also a big problem. Even though the workload of the Land of Rivers is increasing, it is difficult to digest them all in a short period of time.

But she had already made much more preparations.

"As mentioned before, select a group of young and clever individuals to join the production and construction team."

Ayane Amamiya instructed, "Demolish the rest and distribute them to various towns, turning them into security forces to take full control of the grassroots level of the Land of Rivers."

Mei Terumi agreed.

These plans had been discussed before setting off for Loulan, but were temporarily postponed for a few days due to Ayane Amamiya's slumber.

Restarting now wouldn't be difficult.

"besides."

"Before leaving Loulan, Sarah, on behalf of the royal family, also made a request that we form an alliance with them."

"Specific cooperation includes, but is not limited to, helping to receive and resettle some of the Loulan refugees before the reconstruction of Loulan."

Mei Terumi glanced at the girl and carefully expressed her thoughts: "I agree to this on your behalf. First, the River Kingdom is currently short of people, so the immigrants from Loulan would be a good thing for us. Second, the Dragon Vein has not been completely destroyed; it is only temporarily quelled now, and we may still be able to use it in the future."

"Not bad, not bad!"

After listening to her long report, Ayane Amamiya couldn't help but praise, "You've thought of everything!"

She does indeed plan to delve deeper into the dragon vein in the future to find out more.

I never expected that Mei Terumi would have such foresight, thinking of this in advance.

Xiao Ming's series of arrangements pleased her greatly, and she handled all kinds of affairs in an orderly manner. She truly deserves to be called a woman with the talent of a water shadow in the original work!

Ugh!

Xiao Ming is using it so well, I don't want to let her go back to Wuyin!

How can we keep her in Amegakure long-term?

Does this mean I have to sell my body and sexuality?

But who can shoulder this great responsibility?

Ayane Amamiya rubbed her chin, suppressing her thoughts, and asked again, "You've covered all the good news, so what's the bad news?"

"The bad news is—"

The news that "you were in a deep sleep" was accidentally leaked, and when the Daimyo of the Land of Rivers heard about it, he had some thoughts that he shouldn't have had.

Ayane Amamiya burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Little Ming, you're getting more and more mischievous these days."

She tossed her slightly disheveled hair, exchanged a knowing smile with Mei Terumi, and said, "Isn't this fantastic news?"

Terumi Mei covered her mouth and smiled.

He then asked for instructions: "So, should we close the net now and wipe them all out, or wait until you've recovered from your injuries before personally taking action?"

The girl stretched lazily.

I'm tired.

"As for the Daimyo, handle it according to your plan."

Ayane Amamiya yawned: "Since he doesn't want to maintain his dignity, let's give him one."

Mei Terumi nodded: "Understood."

She planned to send Kisame Hoshigaki to handle the matter.

A group from Loulan.

The appearance of Yekura and the Sunagakure forces behind her has now made Mei Terumi somewhat aware of the crisis.

Perhaps, I should also cultivate some trusted subordinates from my own family.

Otherwise, how will I compete with Yekura in the future?

It just so happens that Kisame Hoshigaki is an honest person with outstanding strength.

Most importantly, Ayane Amamiya seemed to have a good impression of him before, so he was the perfect person to take on this task.

Before Mei Terumi could continue speaking...

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Ye Cang walked in carrying a tray: "Hi, hi, hi, fresh pork rib and seaweed soup is here!"

at the same time.

In an unknown corner of the Ninja World continent.

Behemoth Graveyard.

The elderly Madara Uchiha, with several tubes inserted into his back, sat at the feet of the Gedo Mazo, his eyes lowered and silent, his expression solemn.

He is currently thinking about something very serious.

Black Zetsu —

Is he truly of one mind with me?

For more than a decade after Madara Uchiha obtained the Rinnegan, he never doubted this "product of his own will".

Because the other person knows me so well, it's like they can read my mind!

At the same time, Blackie takes his orders very seriously and never shirks or neglects them.

However, several recent events have made him somewhat suspicious.

I was just about to think about it further.

Suddenly, Kushina Uzumaki's carefree voice came from outside.

"Lord Madara, it's time to eat!"

"You're so old, yet you act like a little kid every day, making me have to supervise your meals. It's really worrying!"

The girl complained briefly, then opened the food box again: "Hey! Today's lunch is—steamed meatballs, sweet saury, and sesame rice with komatsuna. They're all Konoha delicacies; you'll definitely like them!"

Madara Uchiha's expression immediately softened.

He glanced at the exquisite food in the box, feigning indifference: "I think you just wanted to eat it yourself, didn't you?"

"Hehe, actually I've already secretly eaten some."

Kushina stuck out her tongue and said matter-of-factly, "Besides, isn't it only right for a disciple to be filial to his master?"

Madara Uchiha was silent for a moment, then said nothing more.

He picked up his chopsticks, took a few bites of a steaming hot dumpling, and then suddenly asked, "Kushina, do you want to go back to Konoha and see your old friends?"

Kushina tilted her head: "Huh?"
