Chapter 203 Karin
Chapter 203 Karin
Just as Hozuki Suigetsu was filled with doubt, wondering why Karin, who usually wanted to stick to Sasuke's side 24 hours a day, was not present, everyone else was there.
In another direction from Orochimaru's base, inside Sasuke's room, Sakura had already entered. She then slowly walked to Sasuke's bed and gently sat down, her movements somewhat hesitant.
As Sakura approached the bed, she noticed that the faint fragrance was becoming stronger, seemingly emanating from the bed.
Sakura's gaze then turned to the bed, where she saw a figure lying there. A head of red hair stood out in the dim light, clearly indicating that it was a woman lying there. A sense of surprise welled up in Sakura's heart.
Sakura frowned slightly, but how could there be a woman in Sasuke's room? Hmm, she must have gone to the wrong place.
Just as Sakura thought that Kabuto had misled her and that this was not Sasuke's room, she decided not to disturb the person in bed and prepared to quietly leave the room.
Sakura moved quietly, trying not to make any noise so as not to disturb the person in bed, but things didn't go as planned. The bedding on the bed suddenly moved slightly, and a sound broke the silence of the room.
Karin rubbed her sleepy eyes and said half-asleep, "Sasuke? Why are you back so early today?"
Because Sasuke usually trains until very late before finishing his daily training.
Karin had planned to surprise Sasuke, but she didn't expect to fall asleep first after taking a nap.
Karin lowered her hand from her eyes, finally fully awake. She looked around and saw a woman she'd never seen before standing in front of the bed. Surprised, she asked, "Who are you? Why are you in Sasuke's room?"
When Sakura heard Karin's question, she hurriedly apologized to Karin: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I just accidentally went to the wrong place..." Sakura's words suddenly stopped halfway through.
Sakura then realized that Karin had mentioned "Sasuke's" room, which made her realize that she hadn't gone to the wrong room; this was indeed Sasuke's room.
So, this woman... Sakura's gaze scrutinized Karin again, a series of questions welling up in her mind. She began to suspect the relationship between Karin and Sasuke.
Sakura noticed that Xiangling's pajamas were a bit loose because she had just woken up, revealing some marks on her skin. She couldn't help but ask, "I'm the one who wants to ask you who you are, and what's with these bite marks on your body?"
Karin's tone was clearly displeased, and she coldly replied, "What's it to you?" She obviously didn't want to bring up the matter, but her attitude made Sakura feel even more suspicious.
Karin carefully examined the woman who had barged into Sasuke's room, noticing the headband she was wearing, and asked, "Are you from Konoha? Were you sent to take Sasuke away? Where are Sasuke and Orochimaru?"
Karin closed her eyes, concentrated, and began to release her chakra, forming a sensory circle covering a radius of tens of kilometers.
Her perception was extremely strong. After searching for only a moment, she successfully detected Sasuke's chakra aura. Karin's brows relaxed slightly, clearly relieved that she had been able to locate Sasuke.
However, before she could even catch her breath, she sensed three unfamiliar chakra signals besides Orochimaru and his group, indicating that outsiders had entered the area.
......
Inside the cave hall, Naruto stared directly at Sai and asked urgently, "What orders did Danzo give you? Is it really that he wants to plot another destruction of Konoha with Orochimaru?"
Sai remained silent for a moment after Naruto's urgent questioning, then slowly spoke, his tone calm: "No, that's not it..."
Naruto pressed further, asking, "What does that mean...?" hoping Sai could provide a clear explanation.
Boruto gently placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder, signaling him to calm down a bit. Then, Boruto turned to Sai: "You won't get any information from him like this, because Sai was hit by Danzo's 'Tongue-Severing Seal,' right, Sai?"
Naruto frowned, looking somewhat puzzled, and asked, "'The Seal for Eradicating the Root of Tongue Calamity'? What is that?"
Boruto continued to explain, "This is a sealing ninjutsu unique to the 'Root' organization within the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu, specifically designed to ensure that classified information is not leaked."
“Once the ‘Seal of the Root of Tongue Calamity’ is applied, any attempt to reveal anything related to a specific matter will trigger a strong paralyzing effect, rendering that person unable to speak or even move their body.”
Orochimaru's snake-like eyes flashed with surprise as he stared at Boruto: "You actually know about such secret matters; that's quite unexpected."
Orochimaru paused, then continued, "Indeed, as you said, Danzo placed this cursed seal on all members of the 'Root' organization. It was a means of control to ensure that they could not reveal any secrets about Danzo himself."
Boruto smiled and replied, "After all, as a ninja, mastering the collection and analysis of information is the most basic thing, isn't it?"
The information Boruto learned was revealed to him personally by the Third Hokage during his search for the Third Hokage to inquire about the "Root" of Konoha.
Faced with Boruto's explanation, Sai remained silent and did not raise any objections. He simply stuck out his tongue, and they indeed found a black mark at the base of Sai's tongue.
Boruto continued, "If my guess is correct, your mission should be related to Sasuke, right? Ever since Sasuke appeared, I've noticed that your gaze keeps glancing at him."
"And your real mission is to conduct espionage activities against individuals who may pose a threat to Konoha, or even to carry out necessary elimination work, right? For example, Orochimaru, who can pose a huge threat to Konoha, and Sasuke, whom you think is Orochimaru's new body."
Orochimaru's lips curled into a sly smile as he licked his lips lightly with the tip of his tongue: "This certainly fits the tough style of a martial arts leader, but does Danzo really believe that this kid alone can solve all the problems?"
Sai smiled helplessly, "Since things have developed to this point, my mission has completely failed." Then his gaze turned to Sasuke and Orochimaru: "However, it seems that things have developed in a way that is completely different from what Lord Danzo originally expected."
......
While Boruto and the others were talking, they suddenly heard a strange noise outside. Then, Karin rushed into the room, her eyes quickly scanning everyone present.
When she confirmed that Sasuke was safe and sound, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, without hesitation, she stretched out her arm to shield Sasuke.
Karin's eyes were fixed on Boruto and the others as she loudly demanded, "What are you all up to? What do you want to do to my Sasuke?!"
In the tense atmosphere, Karin's senses allowed her to notice something unusual.
She could clearly sense that Naruto and Boruto's bodies were flowing with chakra that seemed to originate from the same source as hers. Although this similarity was weaker in Boruto, she could still perceive it.
Karin's perception deepened further, and she detected an unusually dark chakra fluctuation from Naruto. The chilling aura of that chakra reminded her of... the nature of a wild beast.
Immediately afterwards, her attention was drawn to Boruto. She sensed a profound dark light within Boruto, a strange energy she had never felt before. It was as if if she looked at him any longer, she would be swallowed by that dark light and plunged into an endless abyss.
After meeting Karin, Boruto was surprised to find that she had some similarities with Sarada, although the similarities were not immediately obvious.
Karin is characterized by her red hair and black-rimmed glasses, while Sarada is distinguished by her jet-black hair and red-rimmed glasses.
At that moment, Sakura walked in from outside the door.
Sakura's gaze quickly focused on Sasuke in the center of the room. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She noticed that Sasuke had changed significantly over the past two and a half years.
Sasuke's skin became even whiter, and this change in skin tone transformed his entire demeanor compared to before.
After Sakura entered the room, Karin gradually regained her composure from her earlier unease. She turned to Sakura and asked Sasuke a question: "Sasuke, who is this woman? Why is she in your room looking for you?"
Upon hearing Karin's words, Suigetsu couldn't help but tease, "Didn't you also come out from the direction of Sasuke's room...?"
After saying that, Suigetsu turned around, her gaze falling on Sakura, and asked directly, "So, Miss, are you Sasuke's girlfriend?" Upon hearing Suigetsu's words, a faint blush swept across Sakura's face, making her appear somewhat shy.
Upon hearing Suigetsu's words, Karin became agitated. Without hesitation, she swiftly threw a punch, striking Suigetsu directly in the head. With a loud thud, Suigetsu's head was smashed open by Karin, splashing water everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, Karin angrily pointed at Sakura, her tone full of disdain: "This...this ugly hag, how could she possibly become Sasuke's...girlfriend?" Her voice stuttered with anger, clearly showing her extreme dissatisfaction with Suigetsu's statement.
Sakura was furious to hear Karin belittle her in front of Sasuke. Her emotions exploded instantly. She clenched her fists and yelled at Karin, "You bastard! Who gave you permission to talk about me like that? Watch out, or I'll make you pay!"
Under Sakura's threat, Karin appeared somewhat panicked. She quickly hid behind Sasuke, seeking his protection, and said to him in a trembling voice, "Sasuke, that guy is so fierce, I'm really scared..."
Karin hiding behind Sasuke further fueled Sakura's anger; her fists clenched tightly. This woman...
Mizuki witnessed the confrontation between Sakura and Karin, and he couldn't help but laugh at the scene, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
He burst into laughter, the sound echoing loudly in the room: "Hahahaha... A woman like you, actually afraid? Hahaha, that's hilarious."
Suigetsu's laughter seemed like an escalating provocation, each loud laugh fueling Karin's anger as she hid behind Sasuke.
Finally, Karin's emotions reached a boiling point. She could no longer bear it and angrily kicked Suigetsu squarely in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, she stomped on Shuiyue's body without any mercy, angrily scolding, "You bastard, if you don't speak, people won't think you're mute!"
Karin's anger did not subside. Her emotions remained uncontrollable. She straddled Suigetsu and angrily swung her fists, striking Suigetsu's body heavily with one punch after another.
Suigetsu's body can liquefy due to his special ability, and every time his body begins to recover, Karin's attack will shatter him again.
