"Izayoi-kun, you are here!"
Izayoi and Hanabi came to the outside of the villa.
Before they entered the door, the girl's voice reached their ears.
Whoosh, Karin's figure appeared in front of Izayoi and Hanabi out of thin air.
Her red eyes, the same color as her hair, stared straight at Izayoi, and then, as if she had discovered something, a happy smile spread across her face.
"Well, I'm the real body this time."
Izayoi nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work during this period, Karin."
"It's not hard, not hard at all." Karin shook her head repeatedly and said with gratitude, "Compared with the life in Kusagakure Village, this place is simply heaven. I'm just helping you, Izayoi-kun, to buy materials in the Sand Village, but I can live in such a nice house and get so much reward. I really don't deserve it."
"No, you've been a big help."
Under Hanabi's pouting gaze, Izayoi raised his hand and performed a head-patting move on Karin. He touched her red hair, which had become very smooth and shiny compared to the dryness some time ago, and smiled, "There are very few people in this world who I can trust, and you are one of them. I'm very grateful to the short-sightedness of the Kusagakure Village. If it weren't for their stupidity, I wouldn't have been able to find my people in the Chunin Exam."
"Hehe... Karin is also very fortunate to have met Izayoi-kun. I will never let you down."
Karin enjoyed Izayoi's head-patting move very much, and at the same time, she grinned and promised with a firm look.
Looking at Karin, who was just short of having a scarf with the word "loyalty" tied on her forehead, Hanabi's eyes were thoughtful. It turned out that this woman was a member of Onii-chan's tribe.
It seemed that Onii-chan was not cheating.
That's right, if he was cheating, he wouldn't have brought Hanabi with him.
Thinking of this, Hanabi's hostility towards Karin disappeared instantly.
After chatting with Karin at the door for a while, Izayoi took Hanabi into the villa.
On the way, Izayoi also let Hanabi and Karin get to know each other.
Knowing that Hanabi was Hinata's sister who took good care of her in the Forest of Death, Karin immediately liked her very much and treated her like her own sister.
"Hanabi, you and Karin are visiting the villa. If you are bored, you can go out and play." Izayoi touched Hanabi's head and smiled, "Onii-chan is busy now. I will accompany you after I am done."
"Yeah..."
The precocious Hanabi was very considerate and nodded repeatedly, "Onii-chan's things are more important. Let Karin accompany me."
"Then I'll leave Hanabi to you, Karin." Izayoi smiled at Karin again.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Hanabi." Karin promised with a serious face.
So, Izayoi handed Hanabi to Karin and came to a locked door alone.
After opening the door, a staircase leading down came into view.
Walking up the stairs to the end, there was a large basement below.
But now, this basement is very crowded.
He saw rows of figures standing there, in neat rows.
At a glance, it was close to three digits.
And that's not all.
Because in a corner of the basement, there was a table with several large sealed scrolls on it.
All of these figures were wearing the same uniform, a black windbreaker with red clouds embroidered on it.
Most of them had bandages wrapped around their faces and their eyes were dull.
They were all ordinary puppets, and a small number were human puppets made from corpses.
In addition to the Kuroki clan, there were also some wandering ninjas that the shadow clones had hunted during this period.
Looking at these puppets, Izayoi opened his Tenseigan and walked over to them, inputting chakra into their chakra cores as if charging a battery, while whispering to himself: "Whether the system has hidden mechanisms or not is up to you. Whether the entry upgrade is hell difficulty or simple difficulty is also up to you!"
"But I believe that the Akatsuki organization and 'Danzo-sama' will like this great gift very much."
After charging all the puppets in the basement and the scroll, Izayoi returned to the upper room and took Hanabi and Karin to play in Sakura Street.
On the way, Izayoi was concerned about Karin again.
"Karin, how is your recovery?"
"It's fine now. I'm full of strength now." Karin showed gratitude again and smiled, "Thanks to Izayoi-kun's treatment and the medicinal food prepared for me by the shadow clone."
"What are your plans for the future?"
Izayoi asked, "The materials are enough and there will be no need for replenishment for a long time in the future. Do you plan to continue living here and help me look after the property, or continue on the road of ninja? Of course, no matter which one, I will teach you ninjutsu and help you become stronger."
"I will listen to you." Karin said firmly, "Whatever Izayoi-kun wants me to do and needs me to do, I will do it."
"I like your answer very much, but I want to know your true thoughts more." Izayoi raised his hand and touched her head, smiling, "After all, you are not only my subordinate, but also my tribe, my family. No matter what your choice is, I will help you realize it."
Looking at Izayoi with a sincere face, Karin's eyes became wet again uncontrollably.
Whether a person is good to you is never based on what he says or what promises he makes, but on what he does.
Karin saw everything that the Kusagakure Village did to her.
She even saw the future, that she would die suddenly one day, just like her mother, because of her extremely weak body.
If life in Kusagakure Village was hell, then life during this period was heaven for Karin.
After Izayoi's shadow clone took Karin away from Konoha, he sent her to Sakura Street. Not only did he let her live in a big villa, he also gave her the key to the vault, allowing her to control the hundreds of millions of dollars in it.
Knowing that she didn't know how to spend money, the shadow clone took the initiative to buy a lot of food and some medicinal materials, and invited professional chefs to make medicinal food for Karin to make up for her severely overdrawn body.
Not only that, the shadow clone also took her to a clothing store and customized a lot of beautiful clothes. The fabrics of some clothes were even so expensive that she couldn't afford them even if she did missions for a lifetime.
Even the jewelry in the safe was up to her.
After the body recovered, the shadow clone also taught Karin the ninja basics of Konoha, which was more comprehensive than that of the Kusagakure Village, as well as the training methods of climbing trees and treading water.
He even lent Karin the thunder sword of Kurochu Raiga to guide her in practicing the nature change of thunder escape.
When she mastered the nature change of thunder escape, the shadow clone would teach Karin the technique of stimulating cells with thunder escape chakra.
Such meticulous care, but only required Karin to help him run to the Sand Village to buy some materials.
He didn't even follow behind, and was not afraid that Karin would run away with a huge sum of money.
This care and trust made Karin often hide and cry secretly, and those were tears of emotion.
The girl had long been captured by Izayoi and became a being like Bai and Kaguya Kimimaro. As long as she could help Izayoi, she didn't care even if she gave her life for it.
Izayoi was her heaven, her god, and her everything!
So after lowering her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Karin looked up at Izayoi and grinned, "Izayoi-kun, I want to be a ninja."
As long as I become an all-around ninja, I can help you better!
Izayoi naturally didn't know what Karin was thinking.
Hearing Karin's words, he also grinned and said, "Okay, then I will help you become one of the most powerful female ninjas."
Just as the two smiled at each other, Hanabi suddenly emphasized her presence.
"Onii-chan, what about Hanabi?"
Looking at the cute sister-in-law, Izayoi couldn't help pinching her little face and smiled, "Hanabi will definitely be the most powerful female ninja in the future."
"Hehe... I'll remember it. I'll tell my sister when I go back. Onii-chan said I'm more powerful!" Hanabi made a face and stuck out her tongue and smiled.
Izayoi hummed a few times and said proudly: "Onii-chan, you are talking about the future. Now your sister must be the best."
"Eh... why is this happening!"
Izayoi suddenly imitated Hanabi's behavior a few days ago, covered his heart, and pretended to be sad: "Hanabi actually wanted to trick Onii-chan, it really hurt Onii-chan's fragile heart. It won't work without ten times, no... without a hundred massages."
"Onii-chan, I was wrong..."
Hanabi immediately threw herself on Izayoi, rubbed her head in his arms, and then raised her head and said cutely: "Hanabi promises you, Onii-chan, can you forgive me?"
"Onii-chan, I'm just kidding, let's go, I'll take you to see the cherry blossoms!"
Izayoi was once again touched by her sister-in-law, and couldn't help but scratch her nose and rub her face full of collagen.
Then he held Hanabi with both hands, lifted her up and put her on his shoulders, skillfully entered the mount mode, and took his sister-in-law and Karin to see the cherry blossoms.
