Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 250 Orochimaru: Sorry! I've disturbed you! I'll be leaving now!

The next day.

Ayane Amamiya and Yogura set off again, passing through the Land of Hot Springs and heading north.

This is the border region between the kingdoms of Fire, Frost, and Soup, a wild and chaotic no-man's-land.

More importantly, the environment here is pristine.

Vast expanses of rainforest stretch as far as the eye can see, the dense, verdant forest so intense that just a glance is enough to instill a sense of dread in one's heart.

No wonder no one paid any attention to this place until Orochimaru established the Sound Village.

As Mio Isobu said when he arrived.

Ryūchi-dong is probably located in this forest, but its exact location is unknown.

Of course, Ayane Amamiya had already thought of a solution.

She activated her immortal mode, directly sensing the natural energy in the surrounding environment, and then slowly walked towards the direction where the natural energy was most abundant.

Natural energy is a beacon that guides our way.

Within the girl's sensory field of vision, she could clearly perceive the uniqueness deep within the forest.

The natural energy there is unusually active.

Not only does it have a much higher energy density than its surroundings, but it is also moving in a very regular manner.

Natural energy transforms into a light mist, like the ebb and flow of tides, constantly rising and falling, like an embryo struggling to breathe.

"Come with me."

Ayane Amamiya determined the direction and led Yokura forward with great strides.

Before long, a desolate and dilapidated building came into view.

Is this probably a Buddhist temple?

The building sits quietly in a deep, dense forest, surrounded by lush, towering ancient trees, and next to it stands a black iron tower covered with unknown dark green moss.

"Is this the place?"

Ye Cang looked at what was in front of him in surprise.

Wasn't it supposed to be called Ryūji-dong?

This Buddhist temple in front of us doesn't seem to have anything to do with a "cave" at all, does it?

However, the fact that such a magnificent temple could be built in a primeval forest is quite a spectacle.

Ayane Amamiya looked up at the dark iron tower.

The tower's body is entirely cast from bronze.

The last time this material became widely popular in the ninja world was at least six or seven hundred years ago.

And on the top of the tower, there are also lifelike patterns.

That's a snake.

It is all kinds of snakes.

Some have claws growing from their bellies, their bodies undulating like dragons roaming the mountains; others have two horns on their heads, their scales and claws flying, like divine dragons in the sky.

These distinctive features made Ayane Amamiya even more certain that she had come to the right place.

"Whether it is or not, we'll find out once we go in."

Without stopping, Ayane Amamiya pushed open the door and entered, saying in a deep voice, "Ayane Amamiya, a Jonin of Amamiya Village, and Yogura, a Jonin of Sunagakure Village, have come to pay their respects to the White Snake Sage."

The girl's voice carried far and wide, echoing softly through the forest, but no one answered.

Ayane Amamiya didn't care.

She led Yecang directly to the main hall in the very center of the Buddhist temple.

The main hall, which should be occupied by a Buddha statue, now houses a statue of a large white-scaled serpent.

It lay half-reclined on the high platform, its snake tail coiling several times before hanging down to the ground, a white jade pipe in its mouth, and a magnificent necklace made of jade around its neck.

"The White Snake Sage?!"

This was the first time in Yecang's life that she had ever seen such a large snake.

It's even bigger than the Shukaku in the village!

As if it had heard her words, the giant snake statue, which was over ten meters long, came to life in the blink of an eye.

It slowly lowered its head.

Its bright yellow snake eyes stared at the two of them, and it said sternly, "Now that you have seen an immortal, why do you not bow?"

Ayane Amamiya exchanged a glance with it, saw through its trick, and scoffed, "Just an illusion, a mere trick!"

She never does anything superficial.

The girl clasped her hands together, unleashing a dust escape technique that directly struck the white snake statue.

A ripple, like water, spread across the space.

The once tall and majestic statue, along with the surrounding Buddhist temple, vanished as quickly as snow under the scorching sun.

Ayane Amamiya stood quietly in place, watching the illusion fade away before her eyes.

Where is it now, or what Buddhist temple?

The place where I am right now is clearly a dark and damp cave.

Above their heads hung two menacing, sharp stalactites, like the fangs of a pair of venomous snakes, while beneath their feet lay slippery rocks, resembling the forked tongue of a python.

Deep inside the cave, a faint fishy smell wafted through the air.

Yekura covered her nose, immediately expressing her disgust, "Isn't this Ryuchi Cave? It really is a snake den!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a graceful figure emerged from the depths of the cave and smiled at the two of them, saying, "I am Tianxin Shenji, and I am here to welcome you two guests who have come from afar."

Princess Tianxin was dressed in brocade robes, her attire magnificent.

She glanced at the two girls in front of her, her gaze slightly strange.

Such a beautiful female ninja is a rare sight.

After a moment of reflection, Tianxin Shenji said to herself, "If you two want to see the White Snake Immortal, you must first pass three tests. Only after proving your talent and aptitude can you officially become the successors of Longdi Cave and obtain the qualification to learn immortal arts."

"The illusion you just experienced is the first test—"

"The triple test is just too slow!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ayane Amamiya interrupted her, saying calmly, "Isn't there an even simpler and more convenient way?"

Princess Tianxin was taken aback upon hearing this.

At that moment, she noticed that Ye Cang beside her had suddenly become inexplicably excited.

"Human, do you know what you're saying?"

"The triple test is a rule that has remained unchanged in Ryuchi-dong for a thousand years."

Princess Tianxin's expression remained unchanged.

Having served as a newbie guide NPC for so long, this was the first time she had ever seen such a daring ninja.

Princess Tianxin coldly reiterated to the two, "Breaking the rules of Ryuchi Cave is tantamount to disrespecting the White Serpent Immortal. Not only will you be unable to become a successor of Ryuchi Cave, but you will also be swallowed by me and turned into food!"

Seeing her impolite attitude, Yecang started rubbing his hands together.

Suddenly my throat feels so itchy!

"Aren't rules meant to be broken?"

Amamiya Ayane glanced at Tashin Shinhime and said patiently, "Besides, I came to Ryuchi Cave today not for the Ryuchi Cave's spirit contract, nor to seek the cave's magic, so I don't think I need to abide by the rules you mentioned."

The girl closed her eyes, then opened them again.

She entered Sage Mode in a split second, leaving even the goddess Tianxin speechless.

"So, do you understand now?!"

Princess Tianxin truly understood.

"Oh! So you're here to cause trouble?!"

The Snake Princess stared into Ayane Amamiya's pale golden eyes, gritting her teeth as she demanded, "Speak! Did those stinking toads of Mount Myōboku send you here?"

Although she had never seen the Sage Mode on the other party before.

But there are only three places in the ninja world that have the inheritance of Sage Mode. If you remove the Buddhist-like Slug Sage, then all that's left are those hateful toads, right?

Ayane Amamiya completely gave up on the idea of ​​talking to her.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then extended one hand forward, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Since that's the case, I guess I'll have to start the challenge mode—"

Her fingers were slightly bent.

Sage Art: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Although it's only a B-rank ninjutsu, with the enhancement of Ayane Amamiya's Sage Mode, it looks absolutely magnificent when used now.

Yekura's eyelids twitched as she watched from the side.

Whose ninja summons a water dragon with nine heads using the Water Dragon Bullet Technique?

The nine dragon heads fired in a cycle.

The sheer density of their firepower was comparable to that of the heavy golems in the village.

Even Yekura, a ninja, couldn't understand it.

Tashin Shinki, a ninjutsu novice who hadn't traveled much in the ninja world, was completely stunned on the spot.

She was instantly knocked back to her original form by the dense barrage of water jets.

It transformed into a monster with a human head and a snake's body, and fled in a sorry state under the magic.

Realizing that things couldn't continue like this, Princess Tianxin risked being torn apart and forcibly activated her magic.

Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth!

Unlike conventional ninjutsu such as Earth Release, the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique, which can manipulate all inorganic matter around it, is more domineering in its manifestation.

At the moment when Princess Tanshin completed the spell.

All the surrounding matter frantically gathered together, instantly transforming into a vast maze that locked Ayane Amamiya and Yoru Kura inside.

"Hime Takitsu, Hime Ichikishima!"

Taking advantage of the opening, Princess Tianxin screamed for help, "You two bastards! Stop hiding and watching! Enemies have invaded Ryuchi Cave!"

Two chuckles suddenly came from deep within the cave, as if mocking her disheveled state.

But the next moment.

A dazzling white light shot out from the maze, piercing through all barriers with unstoppable force, and disappeared into the depths of the cave following the direction of the sound!

Ga!

The two clear laughs that had been ringing out just moments before came to an abrupt halt, like chickens being choked.

Boom!

Another loud bang came from behind.

Amidst a cloud of dust, Ayane Amamiya stepped out of the labyrinth of inorganic rebirth, her expression calm and composed.

"Unbelievable—it didn't even last five seconds!"

What kind of monster is this?!

Tianxin Shenji panicked, thinking to herself that this was far beyond the bounds of prophecy.

The ninjas that those stinky toads found this time seem to be more complex than they thought!

But the other person looked so young—

Could it be that, like me, they are some kind of ageless old monster?!

Filled with all sorts of guesses, Princess Tianxin trembled slightly, and then her figure suddenly turned transparent and disappeared from the spot.

This is also one of the unique effects of the Dragon Cave Immortal Technique.

The inheritors of the immortal arts of Ryūchi-dō can use natural energy to reflect and refract light, achieving a kind of invisibility similar to being able to pass through.

of course.

Ayane Amamiya's strength was overwhelming, so she didn't care about the fancy stuff here at all.

Tianxin Shenji's subtle movements could not escape her perception.

The girl looked ahead, completely ignoring the snake princess who had already stealthily crept up to her side.

She clasped her hands together in a triangle shape, facing the distant cave.

Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique!

The thick beam of light shot out again, splitting mountains and shattering rocks, its momentum even greater than before!

This dust escape technique was used to escape.

Ryūchi-dong was completely devastated, trembling incessantly from top to bottom.

Countless tiny white snakes were jolted awake from their dreams by the dust, crawling out from the cracks in the rocks and slithering around the cave in a panic.

"asshole!"

The two reinforcements that had been called for earlier, Princess Tsutsu and Princess Ichikishima, finally arrived.

Neither of them dared to directly resist the dust escape.

So he simply stepped on the two giant pythons and burst out of the ground from under Ayane Amamiya's feet!

With a simple Water Instant, Ayane Amamiya easily darted into the air, dodging the snake's bite beneath her feet.

The girl's eyes flickered.

The two giant pythons were one purple and one red; she only recognized one of them.

The giant purple python is naturally Orochimaru and Sasuke Uchiha's future summoning beast, a creature named Manda.

As for the other crimson python, she had little recollection of it.

"Yakura!" Ayane Amamiya called out, deciding to give her a sense of involvement.

"Leave it to me!"

Yekura, who had been itching to show off her skills for a long time, finally had her chance.

The ninja forms a hand seal with both hands.

He swiftly used the Scorching Release technique to condense nine blazing flame beads, which he arranged in a ring behind him.

This scorching, sun-like intensity is practically the nemesis of snakes, which thrive in damp and humid conditions.

The two giants were no match for them and suffered repeated defeats.

"Quickly, call Orochimaru! Have him come and help!"

Princess Ichikishima, who looked like a little loli, shouted loudly upon seeing this.

Suddenly waking up from a dream, Princess Tsurugi quickly unfurled a scroll hanging from her waist.

She stuck out her scarlet tongue, and Sage Chakra swiftly traced several dark streaks across it.

boom!

White smoke exploded.

A figure was faintly visible among them.

"Orochimaru! Come help immediately!"

Princess Tianxin cried out anxiously at the figure, "An enemy has invaded Ryuchi Cave!"

"Oh?"

Orochimaru's signature hoarse voice rang out as he asked with interest, "Such an absurd thing actually happened?"

The white smoke dissipated quickly.

Orochimaru, dressed in a white coat, emerged from the smoke.

He appeared to be conducting an experiment, holding a small silver scalpel in his hand.

"Since it's a request from the three goddesses..."

Orochimaru stuck out his pointed tongue, licked his lips, and laughed, "Then let me see which madman dares to be so audacious—"

He turned his gaze away.

He tilted his head and his eyes met those of Ayane Amamiya, who was standing with her arms crossed in the distance.

stare----

A brief silence suddenly fell over the cave.

Orochimaru pursed his lips, bowed slightly to the girl, and forced himself to remain calm: "So it is Lord Amamiya."

Orochimaru.

Ayane Amamiya glanced at him and said bluntly, "Are you going to attack directly, or do you want me to give you time to summon Jiraiya and Tsunade?"

Orochimaru's expression froze upon hearing this.

He then forced a smile and said, "You jest, sir. Konoha and Amegakure are on good terms now, they're not enemies—"

After saying this, Orochimaru ignored the three Snake Princesses whose expressions had changed drastically, and nodded to Ayane Amamiya, saying, "I suddenly remembered that I have an urgent experiment to conduct, so I'll have to excuse myself for now!"

Without even the slightest hesitation.

This renowned Sannin, after making up his excuse, instantly deactivated the Reverse Summoning Technique and disappeared from Ryuchi Cave!

Orochimaru was terrified that if he slowed down even a step, Ayane Amamiya would force him to stay!

The three snake queens were dumbfounded.

Orochimaru!

We asked you to help, but you didn't even dare to drop your dagger and just left like that?

Don't you care about loyalty and friendship anymore?

Ayane Amamiya glanced again at the three trembling serpent beauties, stepped forward, and said coldly, "I'll ask you one more time, where is the White Serpent Sage?"

A long sigh finally echoed from the depths of the cave.

It answered on behalf of the three snake princesses.

"Please come to my door."

"Come and have a chat with me."
