Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 247 A Strange Encounter at Sea: Cloud-Hidden Turtle Island

Ayane Amamiya is starting to understand Hawkeye's thoughts.

Sailing on a small boat on the vast ocean not only sounds cool, but it is also quite pretentious!

If he were an ordinary person, he might encounter many problems.

For example, their sources of food and drink at sea, and the occasional storms and tides they encounter.

But in a world where extraordinary powers exist, these troubles are not problems at all; instead, they become little pleasures that the strong use to spice up their lives.

The only pity is————

Before setting off, she made the unwise decision to bring Yekura along.

This girl, who grew up in the desert, is a true landlubber.

Along the way, the other person would shout and yell about whatever seemed new and interesting, almost driving her crazy. Sometimes, even when a seabird passing overhead dropped a clump of droppings, Ye Cang would curiously reach out to catch it and see what it was.

They even shared it with themselves!

Take now, for example.

"Look, look!"

Her best friend, Ye Cang, excitedly patted her shoulder, her voice trembling with excitement: "Look what that is!"

Ayane Amamiya was lounging in the cabin, dozing off with her arms behind her head, her trousers rolled up and her legs crossed, her little feet swaying with the waves.

The sea breeze was neither too hot nor too cold.

The afternoon sun shone warmly on her, and the soothing sound of the waves made it all incredibly relaxing.

The girl refused to open her eyes.

She gave a vague, perfunctory reply: "What did you see this time? A dolphin? Or a whale shark? It couldn't be a mermaid waving at you, could it?"

"What? None of those! I know all of those you're talking about, okay?"

Yekura, who was being treated as illiterate, patted her arm and then guessed uncertainly, "This thing should be a small island, right? But why does it look so much like a turtle to me?"

Ayane Amamiya then glanced over there casually.

At first glance, a huge turtle-shaped island suddenly came into her view.

The sheer size of the object nearly made the girl blurt out "Holy crap!"

Ayane Amamiya quickly climbed out of the cabin.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was indeed a giant turtle comparable in size to an island, many times larger than the three-tailed Isobu, the king of turtles she had seen before!

At this moment, the other party is driving in this direction.

The outer perimeter of the island.

Or perhaps the edge of the turtle shell is not a traditional beach reef.

There were only rings of jagged stalagmites all around, sharp as knives and spears, covered with dense barnacles, and vaguely resembling the bare bones of wild beasts.

Yekura was unsure just now.

It was because turtles poked their heads and limbs out around the island, half-submerged and half-exposed on the sea surface.

Perhaps there's a tail?

However, from their perspective, they cannot see it.

Amamiya Ayane thought to herself: Could it be such a coincidence?

Isn't this the same turtle island that Naruto climbed when he was training with the Nine-Tails' chakra?

"What on earth is this thing?"

Curious Ye Cang stared wide-eyed, still straining to see: "Why isn't it moving?"

"This guy has no chakra."

Ayane Amamiya quietly released a few strands of chakra forward, then answered with absolute certainty, "In other words, this giant turtle is actually an empty shell; it's an inanimate object."

Perhaps it's because Otsutsuki planted trees on this planet, or perhaps it's due to the ecological cycle he learned in his previous life.

In short, Ayane Amamiya discovered that all life in the ninja world contains chakra power to varying degrees within its body.

The difference is that.

Some life forms learned to actively synthesize chakra, and they became ninjas and summoning beasts.

Most life forms cannot fathom its mysteries and can only passively combine their physical and mental energy to form extremely small amounts of chakra, which are completely unusable.

"If this were alive, its chakra would probably be even more incredible than that of a tailed beast!"

Ye Cang patted his thin chest hard, then said regretfully, "But then again, sea turtles are supposed to be very long-lived, right? And it grew so big, I don't know how long it has lived, at least several thousand years old, right? It's such a pity that it died like this—"

Ayane Amamiya nodded, unusually agreeing, "It is indeed a pity."

If this turtle were still alive—

Who knows, there might be a fourth among the three great sages of the ninja world—Master Roshi!

Master Roshi in the Naruto world —

Tsk!

Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite exciting.

As the two talked, the small boat got closer and closer to Turtle Island.

Ayane Amamiya sensed something was amiss and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sure enough, the next moment...

A ninja carrying a ninja sword appeared instantly from the island and stood on a stalagmite in front of him.

This guy was wearing a one-shoulder vest from the Hidden Cloud Village, his skin was the classic brown-black of the Land of Lightning, and his face was covered in flashy face paint.

"Hey! Who are you people?"

The Cloud Village ninja looked at the two girls on the boat and warned, "This is a military stronghold of Cloud Village. Anyone not involved must leave immediately, or I will have to kill them!"

It sounded like a threat.

As he spoke, he even drew part of the ninja sword from his back as a show of defiance.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang's interest immediately piqued: "Oh? Is this Cloud Village's territory? I've never heard of it before?"

Ayane Amamiya completely ignored the other party's warning.

With her current power, although her vortex bloodline has not yet reached its peak, she has already mastered the two secret techniques, Vajra Sealing and Kagura Mind's Eye.

At this moment, the girl released her chakra.

The perception range was directly expanded to a radius of ten kilometers, extending continuously into the interior of Turtle Island.

"Hmm? Killer Bee isn't here? There seem to be only a few cats and dogs on the island!" With her superhuman senses, the girl couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after sensing the amount of chakra among the ninjas on the island.

Judging from the amount of chakra.

Even the strongest among these people is not as good as one-third of Yecang's strength.

They were probably resident guards of Kumogakure, used to maintain regular contact with the village and pinpoint the location of Turtle Island.

The girl had originally wanted to see if Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, was on the island.

But now it seems we weren't meant to be.

At this point, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

The Cloud Village ninja glanced at Yecang, who seemed eager to try, and then hardened his heart, deciding to strike first.

Lightning Release: Lightning Explosion!

A flash of lightning, transforming into a ball of lightning, was uttered directly from his mouth.

Seeing this, Ye Cang hurriedly said, "I'll do it, I'll do it!"

She was terrified that if Ayane Amamiya made a move, she would be out of a job.

"Come on, come on!" Ayane Amamiya was too lazy to move, yawned, and sat down lazily again.

Ye Cang quickly formed a hand seal.

Then she opened her little mouth and blew a gust of hot air forward.

Whew!

Extreme heat dissipates forward.

Even on the azure sea, a layer of orange-red flames rolled forward due to the intense heat of the scorching escape!

The interplay of red and blue colors looks absolutely beautiful!

Ayane Amamiya nodded slightly upon seeing this.

Yekura hasn't mastered the Dust Release technique using the three elements of fire, wind, and earth yet, but she's certainly becoming more and more skilled at using the Scorch Release technique using the two elements of fire and wind.

She couldn't quite remember Yekura's strength in the original work.

But now, under my tutelage, he's at least an elite Jonin. With a little more practice, he could easily become a Kazekage, let alone fight aliens.

The Cloud Village ninja's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

Faced with the Scorching Release technique, his Lightning Release ninjutsu crumbled instantly, not even lasting for a blink of an eye.

He wanted to escape quickly, but the range of the Blazing Escape technique was so large that there was nowhere to run!

The hot air blew straight through.

In the blink of an eye, the ninja's eyelashes, eyebrows, hair, and even nose hairs all turned to black ash and fell off in a flurry!

Yekura is not a bloodthirsty person.

Even though the Cloud Village and the Sand Village were not on good terms, they still held back and did not roast him into a dried corpse on the spot.

But when Ayane Amamiya saw the other person's appearance, she couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.

It's really —

What a huge braised egg!

"How's my Scorching Release technique?"

Instead of pressing her advantage, Ye Cang raised her head, looking for praise: "I specially left his clothes for him; he should thank me!"

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya immediately clapped enthusiastically, offering her apprentice encouraging instruction: "Great job!"

Unlike the cheerful laughter here.

Despite being surrounded by the scorching heat of the Scorching Release technique, the Cloud Village ninja felt a chill run through their bodies.

"What terrifying ninjutsu!"

"Who the hell are these two guys?!"

He quickly pulled a signal flare from his waist, lit it, and requested support from his comrades on the island.

Fortunately, Ye Cang didn't burn his clothes, otherwise the signal flare would probably have exploded on the spot.

A fiery meteor shot into the sky.

It exploded again with a bang, revealing the graphic symbol of Yunyin.

Under Kagura's perception, Ayane Amamiya sensed seven ninjas rushing out of the forest on the island and heading towards her at high speed.

She yawned: "Want to continue? Here we go again."

"Forget it, it's boring."

Ye Cang waved his hand: "I'm not that idiot Luo Sha, who likes to bully the weak."

It's gotten this far already.

She also didn't forget to diss Luo Sha.

Ayane Amamiya glanced at the approaching Turtle Island and smiled, "In that case, let's continue on our way."

Ye Cang nodded and hummed in agreement, his arms instinctively reaching out to grab the oars on either side.

But Ayane Amamiya stopped her movement, scoffing, "What a joke, me avoiding his sharp edge?"

The girl formed a hand seal with one hand.

She originally intended to imitate the Skypiea from One Piece, using Water Release to send the island soaring high into the sky, making way for herself.

However, Turtle Island has a diameter of over 20 kilometers and its overall weight is at least in the tens of billions of tons.

I did a quick estimate.

Even if I were to break the Yin Seal at full power, I simply couldn't do it —

Aside from special sealing techniques like Earth Explosion Star, it's estimated that only after reaching the Six Paths level could one possibly achieve this through brute force.

Ayane Amamiya had no choice but to settle for second best.

She used water escape techniques.

It secretly manipulates the unseen ocean currents, causing them to surge and accumulate in the sea.

The sea remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

But if someone were to jump into the sea at this moment and dive deep, they would find that the sea seems to have been turned upside down.

Waves, some tens or even hundreds of meters high, rolled from south to north.

The small fish and shrimp were swept up in the waves and could only drift with the current. Among them was an unfortunate school of sardines, which shimmered like the Milky Way in the sea as they headed north.

Under the constant impact of this undercurrent, the vast Turtle Island finally veered to the side.

From a distance, it looked as if a tortoise had turned its limbs and was slowly making way for the small boat.

Seeing this, Ye Cang clenched her small fists.

She pouted, looking aggrieved: "Ugh, you fooled me again!"

Ayane Amamiya chuckled inwardly, thinking, "In my entire life, I've never been inferior to anyone when it comes to showing off!"

On the other side, on Turtle Island.

The ninja, now completely turned into braised eggs, watched the departing boat with a look of relief.

Having spent many years at sea, he naturally knew that the change in Turtle Island's direction was actually caused by a hidden ocean current.

If this current had come any slower, the enemy might have boarded the ship and landed on the island!

It really is the Sage of Six Paths above!

Heaven has not forsaken me!

"Immediately notify Lord Ai and Lord Bi."

The ninja was of high rank. Looking at his teammates who had come to join him, he decisively ordered, "We have learned that a well-known strongman from Sunagakure, the Scorching Release user Pakura, has appeared at sea. He is suspected to be here to track their movements. His purpose is unclear. Please be careful, my lords!"

'

After all, he was a Jonin from Kumogakure.

Although he didn't recognize it at first, he gradually realized that the female ninja had just used the Sunagakure's Scorching Release.

His subordinate stared at him blankly for a long time after hearing this.

He rubbed his eyes before recognizing the "black-faced bastard" as his captain.

He hurriedly responded, then asked doubtfully, "The whereabouts of Lords Ai and Bi are top-secret, even within the village. The enemy shouldn't know anything about them, right?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry."

"Besides, do you think an enemy of this caliber would have nothing better to do than come to the sea for a vacation?"

The braised egg ninja sneered, "Who knows, this Ye Cang might have gotten information about Master Bi's training from somewhere and is planning to come and cause trouble!"

He picked up the pen.

He quickly sketched out the approximate appearances of Amamiya Oto and Yogura on the paper.

Then, an S (high-risk ninja) was written next to Yekura, and a B (regular Chunin) was written next to Amamiya Ayane.

This is a common classification of ninja strength besides "upper, middle, and lower ninja".

The term "S-rank rogue ninja" usually originates from this.

Among the five great ninja villages in the ninja world.

Kumogakure is the only ninja village that has had almost no interaction with Ayane Amamiya.

Although higher-ups, such as the Third Raikage, have always paid attention to the girl because of the overall situation in the ninja world.

However, most of the Jonin in the village didn't really know much about Ayane Amamiya.

Watching the summoning beast fly high away carrying the intelligence, the ninja whispered, "The two lords should be in the Land of Hot Springs right now. They're not far from us, so they should be able to receive the news before the enemy."

"As long as we have a clear understanding of the enemy's intelligence and there's no information gap, then naturally there can be no danger!"

The subordinate nodded in agreement.

The strength of Lords A and B is far beyond what these ninjas can compare to.

If those two guys are really so reckless as to go over there, then they're just asking for death!
