Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 261 The Juniors' Battles and Danzo's Goal

Konoha Village, training ground.

Samui looked at Xiao Nan floating in the sky, feeling a bit aroused.

We all look about the same age, and we're all ninja trainees who haven't graduated from school yet. Why did you suddenly fly up instead of following the rules?

Is that correct?

Samui looked down at her two long legs, which she was usually very proud of.

In the past, thanks to her long legs, she consistently ranked first in the physical fitness tests at the Cloud Ninja Academy, standing out among her peers.

But no matter how long my legs are—

That won't get you up in the sky!

But she was unwilling to give up, so she gritted her teeth and threw ninja tools into the sky.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan remained calm and flapped its wings.

Then countless pieces of white paper flew out from her wings, swallowing up the several kunai flashing with lightning without even making a ripple.

The power of this scene was quite striking.

At least, Kakashi and his group, who were secretly watching from the shadows, were quite shaken.

Asuma, who was always quite confident in himself, couldn't help but exclaim, "What the hell?"

"Is this some kind of ninja trainee?"

He was skeptical, and muttered wild guesses, "Could this blue-haired girl be one of the Jonin from Amegakure, using a transformation jutsu to impersonate someone?"

Kurenai was speechless at his anti-intellectual remarks: "Asuma, what are you saying? Do you think the perception barrier in front of the village is fake?"

"But Asuma is right this time."

"They are definitely far more than just genin in strength."

Kakashi, unusually, voiced his support for Asuma, offering his assessment: "Even most Chunin wouldn't be able to use ninjutsu of this scale—"

Are all the ninjas in the Land of Rivers this strong?

He clenched his fist secretly, thinking to himself: No wonder my father often forced a smile during the time he was back, which was very different from before.

The group of friends looked at each other in disbelief.

Only Guy knew that Kakashi wasn't bragging.

Because Kakashi now has almost the strength of a Chunin, he can even fight on par with some ordinary Chunin that Sakumo Hatake brought along!

The two have agreed to apply for early graduation when the semester ends in June!

At this moment, the situation on the training field reversed again.

Xiao Nan flipped her hand and formed several hand seals in the air.

The white paper filled the sky transformed into a whole host of weapons, including paper wheels, paper guns, and paper knives, which hurled at Samui.

Samui was still unconvinced.

She gripped the two short knives in her hands and swung them in all directions.

No matter how much white paper changes, it can't be as hard as steel, right?

But the white paper kept multiplying as she cut it, like swarms of bees, gradually sticking to her body, impossible to shake off.

Samui was panting heavily.

She felt her arms getting heavier and heavier, her body getting heavier and heavier, and the knife moving slower and slower.

"This Cloud Village ninja is about to be sealed away."

Nagato glanced at Yahiko, and seeing his lips move as if he was about to speak, he seemed to read his mind and predicted his question, explaining, "Konan's Paper Release technique contains a sealing jutsu formula. Once you make contact with it, you can restrict the enemy's chakra."

"I know that. I was there when Ayane-nee was teaching me—"

Yahiko scratched his head: "I'm just wondering, when did Minami become so skilled that she can use this technique in actual combat?"

We all usually study and attend classes in the same classroom.

I've never seen Xiao Nan improve so quickly in previous practical lessons, have I?

"Because during the days when Ayane-nee was hospitalized last year, Minami enrolled in Ayane-nee's after-school tutoring program." Nagato's tone was calm and composed, but there was actually a hint of envy hidden in it.

I wish I were a girl, so I could join them.

That's not right either!

If I were a girl, what would I do with Yahiko?

How lonely he must be!

Nagato glanced at his good brother and abandoned this absurd idea.

Yahiko, however, suddenly realized.

really!

Xiao Nan secretly practiced extra after school without telling me!

During the short time they were talking, Samui had been completely wrapped in paper and turned into a mummy shape, leaving only a human-shaped outline.

But she was still struggling.

"You lost," Konan said calmly.

She flicked her finger and formed a seal resembling the character "戊".

Then, in the blink of an eye, the hundreds of white papers wrapped around Samui all transformed into bright yellow explosive tags.

Ai, who was watching the game, saw it.

I almost died on the spot!

He lunged forward to rescue them, but was stopped by Takenaka Ri, who was a step too slow. He could only shout, "We concede this match!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan calmly withdrew her detonating tag.

The entire battle lasted only five minutes from start to finish.

Samui, defeated!

Meanwhile, around the training ground.

There are actually quite a few ninjas hiding in the shadows, observing the younger generation of Kumogakure and Amegakure.

For example, Danzo Shimura, who rushed over after receiving the news, was one of them.

This little girl's unique escape technique seems to be able to mass-produce explosive tags?

Having watched Xiao Nan's performance, he thought to himself: She's a rare talent! Judging from how relaxed she seemed, producing hundreds of explosive tags at once didn't seem like a problem at all.

My roots need people like this!

Oh no—

I have no roots left.

Danzo suddenly realized this and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

However, the thought of the powerful Wood Release cells implanted in his body quickly lifted his spirits.

In fact, he took a huge risk by becoming a Wood Release experimenter.

Fortunately, he made the right bet by sheer chance!

The Mangekyou Sharingan from his old teammate Uchiha Kagami actually achieved a mysterious balance with the implanted Wood Release cells, making him one of the lucky ones in the experiment!

After a mission more than a decade ago.

Danzo always presented himself to the outside world with only one eye.

But no one knew that his other eye, which was covered by bandages, contained the eye of his old teammate, Uchiha Kagami!

At that time, he and Uchiha Kagami went to carry out a highly difficult S-rank mission.

During the evacuation process after the mission was completed.

The two were cornered by their pursuers, their situation mirroring that of when they escorted Tobirama Senju during his retreat from the Land of Lightning.

But the difference is.

Perhaps because of the emotional impact of the scene, at the critical moment, Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan awakened a power called Mangekyou Sharingan, which allowed him to turn the tables and kill the enemy!

The explanation given by the mirror is: The Mangekyou Sharingan is the supreme eye technique of the Uchiha clan, and it is also the same level of supreme power as that possessed by the legendary ninja Uchiha Madara!

Supreme Eye Technique!

The ultimate power!

Listen to this description!

What else is there to say?

Danzo, who was extremely envious of this power, tossed and turned for less than an hour before successfully overcoming his psychological barrier!

He launched a sneak attack and swiftly killed his seriously injured teammate, Uchiha Kagami, taking one of his eyes!

As for why there's only one—

Of course, it's because Uchiha Kagami used his other eye to activate Izanagi!

Unfortunately, because he used it hastily and didn't set the "resurrection cooldown" properly, he not only failed to kill Danzo, but also exposed this Uchiha secret technique!

Of course, Danzo wasn't having an easy time either.

The Mangekyou Sharingan was too much of a burden for him!

Even someone like Kakashi, who later became a big shot wielding the Lightning Blade, was reduced to a weakling due to the burden of the Sharingan in the beginning.

After Danzo got his hands on the kaleidoscope from the mirror.

However, after using it only a few times, the potential for "blindness" was discovered!

Perhaps it's even due to bloodline incompatibility.

Even if he doesn't use it, the power in his kaleidoscope will gradually dissipate, and it may be completely ruined in five or seven years!

Left with no other choice.

Danzo then set his sights on Hashirama Senju, who was on par with Madara Uchiha.

It was precisely because he had personally experienced the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan with Uchiha Kagami that he was so eager to acquire the power of Wood Release!

Now, Danzo has actually benefited from this misfortune, gaining both the power of Wood Release and the Mangekyou Sharingan!

That's incredibly lucky!

Unfortunately, it's unclear whether it's due to his own bloodline or some other reason.

Danzo's Wood Release techniques are consistently unsatisfactory!

His Wood Release technique was only slightly better than Yamato's later work, and far from reaching Hashirama Senju's level.

But Danzo had something to hide.

He dared not rashly explain his situation to Orochimaru or Tsunade, so he could only secretly speculate and experiment in private.

It is known that the Mangekyou Sharingan, which evolved from the Sharingan, can achieve a peculiar balance with Wood Release cells.

"So, can the Byakugan and Rinnegan, which are also among the three great dojutsu, achieve the same effect?"

The Wood Release ninjutsu I can use right now is not weak, but it's not strong either.

"If we want to obtain the power of the First Hokage, we will inevitably need to continue transplanting Wood Release cells in large quantities —"

"But I only have one Mangekyou Sharingan. If too many Wood Release cells are injected, it is very likely to exceed the Mangekyou's tolerance limit —"

The thought of those Wood Release test subjects who had gone out of control...

Danzo's gaze toward Nagato became even more intense.

This Rinnegan is unlike anything I've ever seen before —

Perhaps it also possesses characteristics similar to a kaleidoscope!

Danzo had many concerns.

Especially after obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release, he became even more afraid of death, fearing that one mistake would lead to utter ruin!

And Nagato is now one of his targets.

The reason I wanted to get him in the past was because he seemed to have the Uzumaki bloodline, which could be brainwashed and trained into the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The reason I want to get him now is because of the Rinnegan in his pupils!

At that moment, several more voices came from the training ground.

Danzo heard the noise and quickly turned his attention to it.

It turned out that Samui's companion Troy stepped forward, ready to get revenge for his teammate.

(I made a mistake with Omoi in Chapter 258; I remembered his age incorrectly. I have corrected it. Sorry.)

—)

Troy was not very old.

However, he possesses the same Magnet Release technique as the Third Kazekage, which allows him to manipulate metal, making him highly valued within the Hidden Cloud Village.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan wanted to continue.

But Nagato, unusually, showed some interest and volunteered, "Leave this to me."

He stepped into the arena, silently formed a confrontational hand seal, then looked at his opponent and said softly, "Do you need me to give you three moves?"

Troy was furious upon hearing this.

That red-haired kid is such a show-off!

Without saying a word, he first used a C-rank ninjutsu, Thunder Beast Chasing Fang, and then took out his unique ninja tool—the square shuriken—and flicked it towards Nagato.

Nagato neither dodged nor evaded, but instead extended one hand forward.

Shinra Tensei!

Ninjutsu, ninja tools, and all sorts of fancy stuff were pushed away by the overwhelming repulsive force.

The boy puffed out his cheeks again and chased after them.

Water Release: Water Chaos!

Troy was forced to retreat in quick succession.

Unconvinced, he used Magnet Release again, manipulating his ninja tools to fly towards Nagato.

Nagato once again aimed his palm at the ninja tools.

This time it is ————

All things guide the heavens!

Amidst the clanging and clattering sounds, all the ninja tools made of magnets were attracted by him and haphazardly stuck into the soil beside Nagato's feet.

Ai's thick eyebrows furrowed.

Upon seeing this, he had already made a judgment in his mind: Troy had absolutely no chance of winning.

I'm worried that the same scenario might happen again.

Ai Gan simply shouted early on, "Stop! We surrender!"

"Best of three games."

"There's no need for the last game."

The ninja approached the training ground, pulled Troy behind him, and said frankly, "Kumakuha is a man of his word and is willing to apologize for our previous provocation!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply.

Samui blushed upon hearing this.

She gave the group of people from Yu Yin a deep look and then bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.

Upon seeing this, the three children's impression of these ninjas changed drastically.

Although the reputation of the Hidden Cloud Village has never been good, these guys are actually quite upright and honest!

"I will convey your words to Lord Amamiya."

Seeing Yunyin's humble attitude, Takenaka Rin also acted politely: "Although I think your ideas are a bit...unrealistic!"

Catching up with Ayane Amamiya?

She wouldn't even dare to think of such a thing in her dreams!

Ai remained noncommittal, but before turning to leave, he suddenly remembered something and reminded them, "Also, you'd better be careful; there might be someone in Konoha watching you."

Takenaka Rin was taken aback.

She glanced in Kakashi's direction and asked疑惑地问道, "Are you talking about those kids from the ninja academy?"

Kakashi, Asuma, and their group, although elites from the Ninja Academy, are at most Chunin in strength.

Their amateurish attempts at concealment were completely ineffective; they couldn't hide from anyone.

Ai shook her head.

"No, that's not it."

He stated clearly, "The ninja I sensed earlier was probably hiding in the eight o'clock direction, but that was just my intuition, without any evidence."

Takenaka Rin frowned slightly.

Despite her playful nature, she's reliable when it comes to important matters.

The girl immediately asked in her mind, "Isobu, did you sense the guy he was talking about?"

"I think so?"

In the mental space, the three-tailed turtle lazily replied, "I didn't pay much attention either. After all, I'm just a little sea turtle that's just turned a thousand years old."

"6

"In short, you should be careful."

Ai gave one last reminder before turning and leaving with his team.

"Sister Pear?"

Seeing that Takenaka Ri was silent with a deep look in her eyes, Konan called out to her, waking her up.

"Looks like we'll have to be careful on the way back."

Takenaka Ri shook her head and said in a low voice, "From now on, none of you are allowed to leave my side without permission!"

'

I don't know if I was intimidated by Ai's words or what.

In short, an ominous premonition began to creep into her heart.

Zhu Zhongli dared not be careless.

She silently took the psychic scroll out of her bosom and placed it in a convenient spot on her waist.

This is Ayane Amamiya's exclusive summoning device!

As long as the Three-Tails' chakra flows into it, she can instantly summon Ayane Amamiya to her side in reverse!

With Ayane there —

Even if Konoha were to disregard everything and send out their entire force, she wouldn't be afraid!
