The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

If it weren't so inappropriate, Kaoru Kazama could actually call himself the successor of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques right now.

Speaking of which, we should hurry up and get the King Kong Lockdown sorted out.

In this way, we will be much more at ease when facing the tailed beasts that appear in the Konoha Crush plan.

This makes it even more necessary to find Karin quickly, because opening the Kongo Seal is inextricably linked to this little girl who perfectly inherited the Uzumaki bloodline.

"You all get some rest, I'm going out for a walk."

"where are you going?"

Erzhuzi asked seemingly casually, but he was actually very nervous inside, his fingers unconsciously gripping the grass tightly.

Kaoru Kazama, who had taken in all of this, suppressed the urge to laugh and said to Sasuke:

"Don't worry, I'll just take a quick look around the area. If anything happens, I'll be right back. Besides, this is your exam, it wouldn't be proper for me to be here. After you've eaten and drunk your fill, hurry up and grab the scrolls."

"Okay, no need for you to rush me."

Because Kazama Kaoru saw his disheveled state, Erzhuzi, somewhat embarrassed and angry, said impatiently.

"Sigh, teenagers in their adolescence are really hard to handle."

Kaoru Kazama sighed and then vanished from the place in an instant.

In the original story, Karin met Sasuke during the Chunin Exams.

Moreover, it was a very cliché hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario. Sasuke happened to pass by Karin who was being attacked by a giant bear, and then quickly dealt with the crazed bear, thus leaving a deep impression on Karin.

All the subsequent infatuated behaviors actually stemmed from this childhood heroic rescue.

However, there is a bug here, which is that the time and ninjutsu do not match.

This part of the story only appears in Karin's flashback later.

In terms of timing, it should have been at the very beginning of the Chunin Exams, but Sasuke and his friends encountered enemies right from the start, and these enemies were disguised as Naruto and attempted to ambush them.

Then they immediately encountered Orochimaru. Naruto was unconscious and Sasuke was injured. The two battles were very close together, so there was no time for Sasuke to go out and play the hero.

Given the circumstances after that, I doubt Sasuke would go out on his own.

Moreover, he was injured himself, and even if he acted on his own, he wouldn't choose to waste his energy to play the hero and save the damsel in distress. Who knows if this was a trap set by the enemy ninja?

Secondly, there's the issue of ninjutsu. In the original work, Sasuke used the Lion's Barrage when he saved Karin.

This ninjutsu was created by Sasuke during the second stage when he used his Sharingan to copy Lee's taijutsu, then improved it and named it Lion's Barrage. It's impossible for him to use it during the survival exam.

The cause of this bug is likely the original storyline created by the TV series.

After all, manga sometimes goes on hiatus, but anime can't be stopped airing because of that, so they have to find a way to create original content.

This has brought some trouble to Kaoru Kazama's search for Karin. To be honest, it's questionable whether she will even appear in the Chunin Exams.

After all, the female ninja Orochimaru was disguised as was from the Grass Village, but Karin was nowhere to be seen in this scene.

There are a total of twenty-six teams participating in this survival exam. In addition to the twelve Konoha ninjas, there are ninjas from Sunagakure, Otogakure, and even Amegakure.

Later, when Pain attacked Konoha, the female ninja of the Animal Path, whose real name was Ajisaka, was one of the people sent by Amegakure to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Kaoru Kazama only found out about these things from Sasuke recently.

During this process, Erzhuzi tried more than once to use rhetoric to elicit Kazama Kaoru's true intentions.

The child is still young and has a strong sense of curiosity.

But they don't even consider what Kazama Kaoru originally did. Before she came to the Naruto world to wander around, she was a proper high-ranking police officer.

Interrogation was routine for her. It was no wonder that Erzhuzi, a rookie who had just graduated from the ninja academy, could not get a single truth out of her.

"Kagura's Mind's Eye, open!"

After transforming into a vortex bloodline using her character imitation ability, Kaoru Kazama, sporting a head of red hair, activated a super-large Kagura Mind's Eye with a range exceeding tens of kilometers.

Her chakra reserves are greater than those of the current Crown Prince.

After all, he used most of his chakra to suppress the Nine-Tails, and what he could actually use was only four times that of Kakashi, or four times the amount of Kakashi.

This was said by Kakashi himself.

"Tsk, what are Karin's chakra characteristics? I've never seen her before and I don't know."

Kaoru Kazama didn't know how Karin used Kagura's Mind's Eye to find people. Without knowing the characteristics of chakra, everyone is pretty much the same, so sensing them wouldn't be of much use.

"Does this mean I have to be like Erzhuzi and play the hero to save the damsel in distress?"

If that's the case, it's better to keep an eye on the bear, see who it attacks in the end, and then step in to take care of it.

Chapter 601 Signs of a Shura Field

"Ah~~~"

Just as Kaoru Kazama was worrying about how to find Karin, a loud scream suddenly came from nearby.

They don't seem very old, and there aren't many female ninjas who came for the Chunin Exams. Apart from Orochimaru, who was disguised as a man, there are probably only the two from the Sound Village: Hydrangea and Karin.

"It's a one-in-four chance, let's see how lucky I am."

Kaoru Kazama walked over with great interest, as if it were a lottery draw.

With her current strength, she can easily roam freely in this Death Forest.

Even if they encounter Shukaku, they won't be afraid.

To say that she can control the Nine-Tails with her eye power might be a bit of an exaggeration, but if she can't even control a talkative One-Tails, then Coco has really wasted her life.

And so, Kaoru Kazama parted the jungle and walked forward recklessly.

As it turned out, perhaps it was a stroke of luck, but Kaoru Kazama actually found her.

Karin, who never appeared in the original Ninja Exams, was lying on the ground.

A pair of black-rimmed glasses flew quite a distance.

With terrified eyes and a look of despair, she watched the large bear slowly approaching her.

Although she was born with a huge amount of chakra as a member of the Uzumaki clan, due to her special physical condition, she was only used as a medical tool in Kusagakure.

She was basically not taught any systematic ninjutsu. Her return to participate in the Chunin Exams was simply to utilize her special physique to provide an extra layer of protection for her teammates.

They can also be used as shields when necessary, making them perfect cannon fodder.

To be honest, the Grass Ninja Village is quite brainless. They only know how to use such a powerful weapon in such a crude way. They didn't even bother to conduct in-depth research or perform any necessary maintenance or upkeep.

Look at the Third Hokage, he used his silver tongue and powerful brainwashing skills to transform a Jinchuriki who might have hated the village into a good kid who loved Konoha and was filled with the Will of Fire.

The leader of Kusagakure is clearly not good at brainwashing.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique

A huge fire dragon suddenly flew out from the side.

With unparalleled impact, it flew straight toward the ferocious bear.

Before Karin could even shed a tear, she watched as her life was threatened and she collapsed.

Even the toughest bear, if struck by Kazama Kaoru's Great Dragon Fire Technique, will turn into dried bear jerky.

This is many times more powerful than Sasuke's Dragon Fire Technique.

"Little girl, are you alright?"

Kaoru Kazama, who appeared beside Karin using the Body Flicker Technique, put on what he considered a kind face and smiled as he extended his palm towards Karin.

"Thank you, thank you."

Seeing Kaoru Kazama appear like a divine intervention and save her, Karin looked up for a moment and then quickly lowered her head.

It even turned red in a rather suspicious way, which left Kaoru Kazama feeling somewhat bewildered.

So, does this charm only work on women? Why are all the girls blushing and shy?

Sasuke and Naruto acted as if nothing had happened, which doesn't make sense.

"Did you get separated from your teammates? Why are you all alone?"

This time, Kaoru Kazama didn't feign ignorance; she genuinely didn't know who Karin's teammates were.

"Yes."

If Kaoru Kazama hadn't been so perceptive, she would never have heard Karin's words.

Is this child really the same infatuated girl who was hopelessly obsessed with Erzhuzi? Why is she so shy now?

"Here, this is yours."

Seeing Karin's slightly dazed eyes, Kaoru Kazama realized that this was a normal reaction to nearsightedness.

After putting on her glasses, Karin first looked Kaoru Kazama up and down carefully, then quickly lowered her head.

The speed was so fast, as if the eyes were borrowed and they were in a hurry to return them to someone else.

Then, the two fell into an awkward silence.

Karin was at a loss for words when faced with a stranger who had suddenly appeared.

Meanwhile, Kaoru Kazama was contemplating the specific steps involved in abducting a child.

Although the Grass Village doesn't take Karin seriously, she is still a registered ninja in the village and she came to participate in the Chunin Exams. If she were to disappear without a trace, it could be considered a diplomatic incident.

Ugh, this is so complicated. Why is it so difficult to abduct a child? Orochimaru seems to have picked one up casually.

The difference is a bit too big, wouldn't it be better to focus on child abduction?

Kaoru Kazama started spacing out again as she was thinking. After about ten minutes, Karin finally couldn't help but speak.

"Excuse me, is there something troubling you? If possible, I'd like to help, since you just saved me."

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that you look familiar. I was just trying to remember where I've seen you before."

Kaoru Kazama, of course, wouldn't admit that he was thinking about how to bring the little girl home, so he had to lie.

"Really? But I don't recall ever seeing you before."

"With your red hair, are you a member of the Uzumaki clan?"

Kazama Kaoru was clearly asking a question she already knew the answer to.
