Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

"No hurry, I need to make sure."

After the Kusashi group entered the inn, Yang Xi and the other two also went through the formalities and checked into the hotel.

In the room, Yang Xi silently recited Uzumaki Karin's name, recalling the face he had just seen, and his consciousness left his body.

In the woods, the sky is full of dazzling stars and fireflies are floating around.

The girl sitting on the grass ignored such beauty.

She was wearing old clothes, hugging her knees, crying and sobbing.

A voice came in.

"It's a beautiful place. Are all lonely people so rich in heart?"

Chapter 122 Is the Grass Ninja's vigilance so poor?

"Why are you crying?"

The strange voice came again, Uzumaki Karin's voice was dull and hoarse, and she answered with sobs.

"My mother died and I am crying for her."

"What happened to your mother?"

"They killed her a week ago."

The voice asking questions did not appear again. Uzumaki Karin wiped her tears and raised her head. But where was the trace of anyone?

Is this a dream?

In the room, Uzumaki Karin sat up suddenly, lifted the thin blanket, and looked at her feet, feeling a little sad.

This was outside the village, and to prevent her from escaping, the shackles would not be removed even when she was sleeping.

She didn't know why these people brought her out, it seemed like some kind of mission.

In the same room, the female ninja on the other bed suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her coldly.

Uzumaki Karin shuddered and immediately lay down to rest.

After a while, she heard some rustling sounds, which might be the sound of someone turning over.

A crisp "ding dong" sound was heard, as if something light metal had fallen on the floor.

Uzumaki Karin pulled up the thin blanket to cover most of her face, turned around carefully, and opened one eye.

Somewhere under the ninja's bed, there was a small object reflecting light.

With the dim light of the evening, Uzumaki Karin could see clearly.

It's the key to the shackles! She was moved.

The female ninja rolled over again.

Uzumaki Karin was so scared that she immediately closed her eyes.

"It's indeed her." He murmured in Yang Xi's room.

...

The next morning.

After discussion, the three male ninjas left, leaving the female ninja to guard Uzumaki Karin.

She glanced at Uzumaki Karin, and something seemed to be dancing in her eyes.

This is the Uzumaki bloodline that every ninja village covets. No matter which big ninja village she is taken to, she will have a promising future. Moreover, she has a special physique.

"Brother Yang Xi, when do we start?" Kimimaro asked after breakfast.

"Then tell me, what should we do?" Yang Xi asked back.

Kimimaro was stumped by the question and said hesitantly, "Just rob people?"

"It's possible, but it might scare people."

For a person who has lived in a harsh environment since childhood, plundering and robbery would be subconsciously understood as going from one devil's den to another, and he would then become more cautious.

Honestly speaking, he doesn't need a coward, nor does he need a nymphomaniac who has no ideas of her own.

Although it will take at least a few years for Xianglin to be able to help, she is definitely not as good as Xiyan and the others now.

But he still hopes that his "companions" can be more self-aware so that he can feel more relaxed.

Kimimaro looked confused.

"Go and find out the exact location of Ghost Lantern City." Without explaining anything, Yang Xi summoned a White Jue and gave the order.

...

That night, in the room, Uzumaki Karin opened her clear eyes again.

Turning sideways, she secretly glanced at the place where she found the key yesterday.

Her eyes brightened a little.

The key was not picked up or discovered?

With doubt and surprise in her heart, Uzumaki Karin's heart began to beat violently.

After calming down, she held her breath, sat up carefully, and wrapped the chain of her shackles with her changed clothes to prevent it from making any noise.

Then she climbed out of bed tremblingly.

Slowly crawled under the ninja's bed and picked up the key.

The distance was less than half a meter and could be reached in less than two seconds, but in order to avoid making any noise, it took her more than four minutes.

On the bed, the female ninja with her eyes closed had a strange smile on her face.

With two slight "clicks", the two locks on the shackles opened.

But the sound of unlocking the door made Uzumaki Karin break out in a cold sweat.

Will it be heard?

She held her breath and remained still, the steady breathing of the female ninja reaching her ears.

In an instant, Uzumaki Karin's heart, which had been lifted up, was put at ease again.

Next, she crawled out from under the bed, opened the door, and closed the door, which took her a lot of effort and time.

Everything was kept to the smallest possible noise she could make.

After escaping from the hotel, the excited Uzumaki Karin was like a ghost without direction, not knowing where to go.

Through the window, Yang Xi watched her leaving from behind, and couldn't help wondering, "Are the grass ninjas so unprepared?"

After thinking about it, he followed.

Karin wandered around aimlessly and finally stopped by a lake.

Sitting on the grass by the lake, Uzumaki Karin rolled up her pants, put her feet in the water, and swung them.

Suddenly, she became a little sad.

"What should I do? Mom, tell me."

Tears slid down the corners of her eyes, falling drop by drop into the water, creating ripples.

"Since you've already escaped, why not go somewhere else?"

Yang Xi walked out into the moonlight.

After being absent-minded for a moment, Uzumaki Karin became alert again, straightened her body and asked, "Who are you?"

"This is my territory, I should be the one asking who you are." Yang Xi said with his hands spread out.

"There's no sign here, how can you say it's your place?"

Although she was obviously scared to death, Uzumaki Karin was like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end.

"This lake is called Xinyue Lake, and I gave it the name. If you don't believe me, look carefully at its shape." Yang Xi raised his eyebrows and made a heart-shaped pattern with his hands.

Uzumaki Karin stared at the center of the lake for a long time, and it really looked like a heart shape.

Is what he said true?

Uzumaki Karin walked to the shore, rolled down her trouser legs and put on her old shoes. She hung her head, feeling very lost, and turned around immediately.

"Then I'll go."

"Hey hey hey." Yang Xi immediately called her.

"Whose child are you from? Why are you in such a remote place at night instead of going home? It's dangerous to run around alone. Where is your home?"

This question, which was asked despite knowing the answer, made Uzumaki Karin sad again, and she almost burst into tears again.

She said in a depressed tone: "I have no home anymore."

In other words, Uzumaki Karin didn't listen carefully to what he said when he first appeared, otherwise she would have immediately seen through his hypocrisy.

Yang Xi sighed softly, "Then what are these marks on your body? They seem to be human teeth marks. Does someone bite you often?"

Even though they were strangers meeting for the first time, when he asked her this question and faced the curious and sympathetic gaze, Uzumaki Karin instantly felt ashamed.

why?

Why do you want to be seen in such an embarrassing state?

Her pride and shame all turned into grievance. After a moment of silence, she stammered, "I, I will wear longer clothes to cover them."

Yang Xi continued softly: "It will hurt, will it bleed?"

Many times, I don’t feel sad, but I can’t help crying when someone comforts me.

This was how Uzumaki Karin felt at the moment. She had slowly begun to get used to it, but now when she heard such gentle and caring words, her heart immediately felt sore, her nose felt sore, and big tears fell, and she began to sob uncontrollably.

After a long while, she wiped the snot and tears from her face with her clothes, and shouted in a trembling voice: "I'm fine, I'm fine!"

"Yeah." Yang Xi nodded, not wanting to expose her pretending to be strong, and changed the subject, asking: "I'm Hinata Yang Xi, what's your name?"

"My name is Karin. Thank you, strange big brother." After crying for a while, Uzumaki Karin calmed herself down.

Chapter 123 Entering Ghost Lantern City

"Kaorin, there's someone bullying you, right?"

"Those people, do you hate them?"

"Do you want to take revenge on them?"

"do you want……"

Before Yang Xi could finish his words, he took out a kunai and pointed it behind Uzumaki Karin.

Because Uzumaki Karin is young and short, in her eyes, the kunai is pointing at her forehead, flashing a faint cold light.

The man holding the weapon had a somewhat cold look in his eyes.

This immediately made her heart beat wildly.

She ran away.

"Stop!" Yang Xi said.

Uzumaki Karin felt uneasy and stopped hesitantly.

Yang Xi looked at her and threw the kunai in his hand.

In the grass six meters away from Uzumaki Karin, blood was splattered and a long snake as thick as an arm was split into two. It did not die immediately. Both halves of its body were crawling and then ran away.

Turning around and looking at this scene, Uzumaki Karin understood something.

Turns out he was killing a snake. I misunderstood him.

Yang Xi looked at her with doubt in his heart. In the original work, wasn't Karin's perception ability very strong? It seemed that it had not been developed yet...

At the same time, in the hotel.

After calculating the time, the female Kusanagi who stayed in the room tapped the wall with her fingers.

In the room next to her lived the leader of this team, Jujo, a jonin from the Kusagakure Village.
