"Ah~~"
Seeing the terrifying black bear behind her, drooling and close by, Karin, who was fleeing in a panic, stumbled and fell.
"Roar…"
Seeing its prey expose a weakness, the black bear roared and immediately pounced.
This made Karin, who had dropped her glasses, even more terrified, her eyes filled with despair… [Am I… am I going to die??]
Recalling her short and unbearable life, her eyes instantly turned red and filled with tears… "Rasengan…"
At the critical moment, a figure suddenly stood in front of her and shouted in a deep voice.
Before Karin could react, she saw the ferocious black bear scream and spin backward at an even faster speed… Its sturdy and heavy bear paw was directly shredded by the powerful tearing force, and the injury extended directly to its head and abdomen.
In an instant, it died… "This is…"
Looking at the somewhat familiar yet blurry blue clothes and shorts in front of her, Karin murmured, hurriedly picked up her glasses, and looked up.
"Are you alright…"
The moment Karin put on her glasses and looked up, Sasuke turned his head and smiled casually.
At that very moment, a brilliant ray of sunlight shone through the leaves onto Sasuke's profile… This single glance made Karin, who clearly saw Sasuke's face, gasp… Looking at the handsome and sunny powerful young man, her cheeks quickly flushed… For a moment, her heart pounded, and she didn't know what to say… "A genin from the Grass Village, I saw you in the exam venue before!"
Seeing Karin captivated by his handsome face, Sasuke had no choice but to speak first to break the awkward silence.
"Ah~ Yes, yes…"
Karin instantly remembered how Sasuke had looked at her before, and she lowered her head again, her face full of shyness.
As she lowered her head, she saw the scroll in her hand, and Karin suddenly reacted… "Tha-thank you for saving me… Do you need this scroll??"
Without the slightest hesitation, Karin directly forgot about her teammates and the Grass Hidden Village and offered the scroll with both hands.
This was not just a simple act of gratitude for saving her life and admiration, but also the most direct practical issue!
Her life of constant wandering since childhood had forced her to learn the basic survival principles of observing people's expressions and judging the situation.
Now they were competitors… Facing the powerful Sasuke, this was her best choice!
"The Scroll of Earth? I don't need that… However, I need you!!"
Sasuke ignored the scroll and smiled indifferently, looking at Karin with deep meaning… "Ne-need me??"
The nervous Karin was instantly stunned by this blatant confession, and her already flushed face turned crimson… Could it be that he wanted to… Thinking of that possibility, Karin's eyes instantly became hazy, lost in wild fantasies… "Bastard, outsiders really can't be trusted…"
"Karin, you actually gave the scroll to someone from Konoha? Are you betraying the Grass Hidden Village now??"
Just as Karin was lost in her girlish fantasies, the voices of two Grass Hidden companions suddenly exploded in her ears.
This instantly jolted Karin awake, her delicate body trembling and cold sweat pouring down… "N-no, it's not what you think…"
Subconsciously, Karin hurriedly turned to explain.
But the two people opposite her didn't give her a chance to explain… With two whooshing sounds, two kunai flew straight towards Karin's face… "You guys…"
Seeing this merciless scene, Karin's pupils widened in disbelief.
How could they do this to her!!
"Bang, bang…"
Just as Karin was dumbfounded, Sasuke immediately grabbed the scroll and threw it out casually.
The scroll turned into an afterimage, deflecting both kunai… Of course, this also caused the scroll to be split in half by the kunai.
"Damn it… This guy actually destroyed our scroll."
One of them immediately shouted hatefully, staring at Sasuke with furious eyes, indignant.
"Quick, let's go, this guy is not someone we can deal with…"
The other person gave Karin a fierce look and immediately turned to run.
Although the order from above was to execute Karin on the spot if she made any unusual moves, saving their lives was more important now… "Go? Did I allow you to go?? Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu…"
Sasuke naturally left no survivors, forming hand seals with both hands and completing them in an instant, then opening his mouth and shouting in a low voice.
"Boom…"
A fireball with a diameter of ten meters instantly roared out, and the two people looked terrified, just about to dodge.
Sasuke's second attack arrived first, two shurikens shot out and hit the two people's calves… making them scream and fall to the ground.
"Ah…"
"Yamero…"
Accompanied by two shrill screams, the two people were mercilessly crushed by the rolling, scorching fireball… "Bang…"
Seeing her two companions swallowed by the fireball, Karin's legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Although she knew that if the two of them lived, they would threaten her safety, she couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow… And with her teammates dead, even if she returned to the Grass Hidden Village, she would no longer be trusted!
Even if she miraculously avoided punishment, she would still be suspected and isolated… because she was the weakest of the three.
In an instant, fear and loneliness once again flooded Karin's heart… "Karin, right… Looking at your hair, you should be from the Uzumaki clan.
If you, abandoned and attacked by your teammates, have nowhere to go, then stay by my side… However, for now, you cannot appear as a ninja!!"
Looking at Karin's expression, which was like a startled rabbit, Sasuke shook his head and said seriously.
According to the plot, after failing this exam, Karin would be isolated by the Grass Hidden Village and assigned to the northern fortress of the Land of Grass.
It was there that Karin, who was almost sucked dry, escaped and met Orochimaru… But in Orochimaru's hands, she still couldn't escape the fate of being used as an experiment!
Sasuke didn't want Karin to experience that again… So, he cleanly killed Karin's teammates to cut off her retreat.
After all, Karin was a confidante who fell for Sasuke at first sight… Sasuke couldn't bear to see Karin continue to be bitten by others, covered in wounds… "Re-really? Do you really need me?? Aren't you afraid that I'm a rogue ninja??"
While Sasuke's thoughts were racing, Karin also recovered and said nervously.
If she stayed by Sasuke's side, she would inevitably become a rogue ninja of the Grass Hidden Village, which would be a great threat to a Konoha genin.
Neither Konoha nor the Grass Hidden Village would allow such a thing to happen… "That's not something you need to worry about! As long as you withdraw from the competition now and stay in Konoha, I will arrange everything for you…"
Sasuke showed a brilliant smile and said confidently, without much worry at all.
Would that coward from the Grass Hidden Village dare to come to Konoha to demand someone back?
As long as the Fifth Hokage Tsunade took office two months later, all problems would be solved… He believed that the conditions he offered, and Karin's Uzumaki clan identity, would definitely make Tsunade agree to Karin staying in the village.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Sasuke… My name is Karin…"
After a moment of hesitation, Karin looked at Sasuke's irresistible handsome face and gritted her teeth in agreement.
Her life couldn't get any worse than this!
Even if she wasn't punished upon returning, her ultimate fate would be the same as her mother's.
Compared to that predictable future.
If it was Sasuke, taking a gamble wouldn't be bad… Most importantly:
Ah ah ah… Sasuke-kun is too handsome… I can't refuse, I simply can't refuse him~~
