"The second Chūnin selection exam... officially begins!"
As the exam time approached, Mitarashi Anko's voice was immediately transmitted through the radio to the ears of all invigilators and candidates.
The invigilators who had been waiting at the door for a long time immediately took out the key, opened the iron door, and said to the examinees, "Go in."
In an instant, the candidates who passed the first exam either flew in as afterimages, or rushed in with their fists clenched behind their backs like ninjas, or walked in at a leisurely pace.
Class 8 is the last one.
"Izayoi-kun, should we take the initiative?" Hinata asked.
"No hurry, let's go find someone first."
Izayoi activated Tenseigan, and his vision turned into a God's perspective, first covering the entire Death Forest, and then switching to each team like a surveillance camera.
Soon, the location of Karin and her two teammates was exposed to Izayoi.
"Follow me." Izayoi flew out in an instant.
Hinata and Aburame Shino followed closely behind.
"Izayoi-kun, are you going to look for that female Kusa-nin?" Hinata vaguely guessed what Izayoi was going to do.
"Well, such talents should not be wasted." Izayoi nodded.
For this exam, Izayoi was well prepared and even wore cosmetic contact lenses.
He wants to change the fate of two people, one of whom is Karin.
The trip to the black market made Izayoi feel the inconvenience of being a lone wolf.
If it weren't for the cleverness of leaving behind Zabuza Momochi and Hakushin, Izayoi would not have a human puppet until now.
Haku is a good tool, but unfortunately he is only loyal to Momochi Zabuza.
Izayoi does not trust Zabuza Momochi, so he will not recruit such a traitor.
But from then on, Izayoi began to think about recruiting subordinates.
Karin is one of his targets.
Even though his family was destroyed, his parents died early, and his inheritance was lost, he was still able to awaken all the unique abilities of the Uzumaki clan at the age of sixteen.
Karin's talent is among the best even in the thousand-year history of the Uzumaki clan.
Even if there is no heaven-defying fate-changing function yet, Karin's entry is more dazzling than many other powerful ones.
[Uzumaki Bloodline (Purple)]
[Chakra Control (Purple)]
[Medical Genius (Blue)]
[Jōnin Qualification (Blue)]
[Ōtsutsuki bloodline (blue)]
Just like there is a gap between the red entries, although Karin and Uzumaki Naruto both have purple blood, the red hair is definitely purer than the golden hair, even though the golden hair has the ancestor's Chakra in its body.
And Izayoi is very sure that five entries are not Karin's limit.
When he first learned medical ninjutsu, he unlocked the Medical Genius (Blue) entry.
The Uzumaki clan has a natural talent for sealing techniques.
As long as Karin starts learning the Sealing Technique, she will definitely automatically unlock the Sealing Genius (Blue) talent like Izayoi did.
By then, Karin will be a genius with six attributes.
How could Izayoi give up such a talent to Orochimaru?
Hinata and Aburame Shino certainly had no idea what Izayoi was thinking.
However, Aburame Shino did hear something, and couldn't help but adjust his sunglasses and reminded: "Izayoi, are you planning to recruit ninjas from other villages? This is illegal."
"Then Shino, will you go and complain?" Izayoi asked with a smile.
Aburame Shino thought for a moment and said, "I won't if you don't leave her in Konoha."
During this time together, Aburame Shino has come to regard Izayoi and Hinata as companions.
Izayoi would not ignore himself like Uzumaki Naruto and the others did, making Aburame Shino full of affection for him.
In his heart, Izayoi and Hinata are both his friends.
He would never betray his friends!
The premise is that Izayoi does not do anything to let down the village.
"Imprisoning" ninjas from other countries in Konoha is already a very serious diplomatic incident.
As the heir of the Aburame clan, Aburame Shino cannot turn a blind eye.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Izayoi nodded with a smile.
Seeing Izayoi agreed so readily, Aburame Shino also expressed his opinion: "If you need any help, just let me know."
"Just you and Hinata help me take out those two Kusa-nin."
The 8th team was moving at full speed and the distance between them and Karin's team was closing rapidly.
At this time, Karin was being directed by her teammates to set up traps.
"Hurry up, if you are discovered, we will leave you here."
"Ah… yes!"
"You are such a useless thing. If your healing ability wasn't of some use, I really wouldn't want to bring a burden like you here."
"S-Sorry."
Karin, who was threatened and scolded by her teammates, did not dare to express any dissatisfaction. Instead, she set up traps while apologizing with a trembling voice, being extremely humble.
Such is the position of the outsider.
Although Karin grew up in the Kusagakure Village, her mother was not from the village. Even if she could become a ninja, she would be an outsider who would not be trusted by the village.
Obviously, Karin and her mother both have extremely powerful physical abilities to heal.
However, the Kusagakure Village only used a medical kit for the mother and daughter.
Anyone who is injured can come and absorb their chakra to recover from their injuries, so much so that Karin's mother, who inherited the powerful vitality of the Uzumaki clan, died early.
Karin also became a malnourished and nearsighted girl.
What's even more ridiculous is that the Kusagakure Village is very good at studying other countries' ninjutsu, but they have no idea what red hair and physical healing mean.
"Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!"
Just as Karin was setting the trap, she suddenly heard a girl's cry in her ears.
At the same time, there was a buzzing sound coming from far away.
Before Karin could look up, a loud bang came from the direction of her companions.
Turning around, I saw a companion standing under a big tree. He was stuck to the trunk like a painting, with cracks all over his body and blood spitting out of his mouth.
Before the other companion could react, he was overwhelmed by countless insects falling from the sky. After a scream, he fell to the ground without a sound.
Karin was so frightened by this scene that she collapsed on the ground. Her already pale face became even paler.
Just then, a gentle laugh came to her ears.
"Hey, we meet again."
Following the direction of the voice, she saw two men and one woman standing in front of her.
Looking at Izayoi standing in the middle, Karin's eyes widened behind her glasses: "It's you!"
"Let me see your arm."
Hinata crouched down, grabbed Karin's arm, and pulled up her sleeves.
The next second, Hinata's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Karin's forearm was covered with teeth marks of different shapes.
Of course, this is not why Hinata is angry.
She and Hanabi inhale Izayoi Chakra every day, and after two years, there is not a single tooth mark left.
Because they absorbed Chakra, they couldn't even recover as fast as Izayoi.
But Karin only has two teammates, and there are teeth marks on the arm from at least several people, and it's just one arm.
This means that her situation is the opposite of Izayoi's, and her recovery speed cannot keep up with the speed at which her Chakra is being sucked away.
"Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!"
Hinata stood up and blasted out another shock wave through the air, killing the dying Kusanagi instantly.
From beginning to end, Hinata never expressed any concern for Karin.
But what she did made Karin's eyes mist up uncontrollably and tears welled up.
Many years after her mother's death, she finally felt cared for again.
And this feeling was given to her by her enemy.
