The more Naruto thought about this idea, the more reliable it seemed.
Doesn't the Elementary Flying Sword only carry one person?
If I hold Karin, and only I stand on the sword, with Karin not touching the Flying Sword, wouldn't that count as one person?
Acting on his thought, Naruto immediately gave Karin a princess carry. Before she could react, he stepped onto the Flying Sword and activated the magic spell.
This time, the Flying Sword didn't 'defy' Naruto and successfully soared into the sky.
"Haha, I can even think of something like this. I, Uzumaki Naruto, am truly a Genius."
Naruto, now airborne, was very excited, constantly praising himself.
Indeed, even the System probably didn't expect such a loophole could be exploited.
Watching Naruto boast about himself like an old woman selling melons, Karin's face couldn't help but blush again.
Flying with Karin in his arms, just as they were about to reach the Central Tower, Naruto saw Sasuke also in the sky.
He shouted at Sasuke, made some gestures, and then Naruto prepared to land.
After landing and putting Karin down, Sasuke also arrived with Sakura.
"Naruto, are you alright?"
Because Sasuke and Naruto searched in completely opposite directions, he hadn't noticed the battle between Naruto and Orochimaru.
However, seeing Naruto covered in dust and looking a bit disheveled, he could tell that Naruto must have fought someone.
"I'm fine, just had a fight with Orochimaru."
"That pervert again."
Hearing that Naruto had fought Orochimaru, Sasuke's face showed resentment.
"You used Myriad Sword Art?"
Sasuke saw that Naruto's sword body already had a slight crack.
The magic sword itself was incredibly sturdy. Besides Naruto using Myriad Sword Art beyond his level, he couldn't imagine anything else that could damage the magic sword.
"Yeah, I used it once, but he still managed to dodge it."
Naruto ruffled his hair, looking a bit depressed.
The power of Myriad Sword Art was immense, but Orochimaru's life-saving techniques were also formidable.
"I'll kill him sooner or later."
Sasuke would certainly not let go of the pervert who wanted to take over his body.
If Myriad Sword Art couldn't kill him, then he'd use Heavenly Sword.
If Heavenly Sword didn't work, there was Sword Control Demon Subduing.
If Sword Control Demon Subduing didn't work, there was Sword God.
He refused to believe that Orochimaru could survive Myriad Sword Art and still survive Sword God?
"Oh, right, this is Karin."
The topic ended, and Naruto quickly introduced Karin to Sasuke and Sakura.
"Hello everyone, I am Uzumaki Karin."
"I am Uchiha Sasuke."
"My name is Sakura Haruno."
Looking at the timid Karin, Sasuke's attitude was indifferent, but Sakura seemed very friendly.
"Sakura, please heal Karin."
"No problem."
With one Guanyin Spell, Karin's mental state and injuries improved significantly, and even her depleted Chakra recovered a bit.
"Hmm? It didn't completely heal?"
Karin had been subjected to long-term abuse by the Grass Ninja, resulting in a particularly large number of external injuries on her body, so using Guanyin Spell only once was indeed not enough.
However, if once wasn't enough, then twice. Using it more times could even save severely injured people.
Karin's injuries were indeed quite severe, with numerous hidden and internal injuries in addition to external ones.
Sakura used the Guanyin Spell four times in total before Karin was completely healed.
"I think I need to rest."
Sakura's Chakra reserves were not large; she could use the Guanyin Spell at most ten times or so.
Now, to heal Karin, she quickly used it four times.
The large consumption of Chakra caused her face to turn a bit pale.
Karin, who had noticed her body was better than ever, was initially happy, but seeing Sakura's appearance now, she was startled and looked worried.
"Don't worry, I just used too much Chakra for a moment. I'll be fine after a rest."
Hearing Sakura say this, Karin finally relaxed.
After resting for a while, Sakura felt much better, and the Team 7 trio decided to proceed with the pre-arranged plan.
Because Karin suddenly joined the team, Naruto decided to let Karin enter the Central Tower first.
Karin was very reluctant to leave Naruto's side.
However, she also knew that she was completely a burden right now, and staying by Naruto's side would only distract him. So, despite her reluctance, she obediently entered the Central Tower.
Naruto had already told her that if anyone caused trouble, she should mention Ge Liang's name.
This name might not be well-known among many Ninja, but it was famous within the Anbu.
Naruto knew that there were many Anbu guarding the Central Tower's surroundings and interior. As long as Karin mentioned Ge Liang's name, no one would dare to provoke her.
Well, except for that lunatic Orochimaru... Speaking of Orochimaru, after getting rid of Karin, he first found the Otogakure trio and told them to prioritize the Chunin Exams, temporarily postponing the mission to find Sasuke.
After speaking, he went to find Yakushi Kabuto and told him not to bother looking for Naruto and Sasuke.
Others were flying in the sky, and he was searching on the ground; it would be a ghost if he could find them that way.
After giving his orders, Orochimaru prepared to leave the Forest of Death. There were too many Anbu in the Forest of Death now, and staying there might cause trouble.
However, just as he was about to leave, a sudden sense of danger struck him. Without a word, Orochimaru quickly bit his thumb and rapidly formed hand signs.
"Summoning Jutsu: Triple Rashomon."
The moment the Triple Rashomon was summoned, an incredibly giant longsword attacked the Rashomon.
Before Orochimaru could even celebrate having escaped another calamity, he saw the Rashomon begin to collapse, one layer after another.
"What?"
Witnessing this, Orochimaru couldn't believe his eyes.
One must know that Senju Hashirama once used the Quintuple Rashomon to defend against the Nine-Tailed Tailed Beast Ball. Even if he was using a weakened version, the Triple Rashomon, it wasn't made of paper!
What kind of situation was this, to be directly pierced through?
Before he could figure it out, the longsword continued its momentum, striking directly at him.
The immense pressure of death made Orochimaru's whole body ache, finding it incredibly difficult to even lift a hand.
In this critical moment, Orochimaru used all his strength to form hand signs. He knew that if he didn't dodge this attack, he might truly die.
"Boom!"
The longsword struck Orochimaru, erupting in a violent explosion.
Within a radius of three hundred meters, trees began to evaporate, and the ground started to disintegrate.
This extremely powerful attack immediately attracted everyone around the Forest of Death.
"What kind of attack is that? Such a huge commotion?"
An Anbu heard the commotion and found it somewhat unbelievable. This was just the Chunin Exams, not the Fourth Great Ninja War; did it really need to be so exaggerated?
"Damn it, the Konoha people are truly shameless, actually arranging Jonin to participate in the Chunin Exams. I'm withdrawing from the exam!"
"Exactly, exactly, Konoha is the most shameless. I'm withdrawing too!"
The exam candidates also heard the commotion. Not only that, some candidates who were close by even witnessed the exaggerated explosion, scaring them into wanting to withdraw from the exam.
