"The Chunin Selection Exam's second stage... officially begins!"
As the exam's start time arrived, Anko Mitarashi's voice instantly transmitted through the broadcast to all proctors and examinees.
The proctors, who had been waiting at the gate, immediately took out their keys to open the iron gate and said to the examinees, "Enter."
In an instant, the examinees who passed the first exam either transformed into afterimages and flew in, or clenched their fists and placed them behind their backs, rushing in with a ninja run, or slowly walked in.
Eighth Squad was the last.
"Izayoi-kun, should we take the initiative?" Hinata asked.
"No hurry, let's find someone first."
Izayoi activated the Tenseigan, his gaze turning into God's Perspective, first enveloping the entire Death Forest, and then, like surveillance, switching to individual teams.
Soon, Karin and her two teammates' locations were exposed before Izayoi's eyes.
"Follow me." Izayoi flashed away.
Hinata and Shino Aburame followed closely behind.
"Izayoi-kun, are you going to find that Grass Ninja girl?" Hinata vaguely guessed what Izayoi was going to do.
"Yes, such talent cannot be wasted." Izayoi nodded.
For this exam, Izayoi had made ample preparations, even wearing Colored Contact Lenses.
He wanted to change the fate of two people, one of whom was Karin.
The Black Market trip made Izayoi feel the inconvenience of being a lone wolf.
If he hadn't cleverly left Zabuza Momochi and Haku's Life behind, Izayoi wouldn't have a Human Puppet even now.
Haku was a good tool, but he was only loyal to Zabuza Momochi.
Izayoi didn't trust Zabuza Momochi, so he wouldn't recruit such a rogue ninja.
But from that time on, Izayoi had the idea of recruiting subordinates.
Karin was one of his targets.
In a situation where her clan was destroyed, her parents died early, and her inheritance was lost, she was still able to awaken all of the Uzumaki Clan's unique abilities at the age of sixteen.
Karin's talent, even placed in the Uzumaki Clan's thousand-year history, was among the best.
Even if she hadn't defied fate yet, Karin's Perks were more dazzling than many small fries.
[Uzumaki Bloodline (Purple)]
[Chakra Control (Purple)]
[Medical Genius (Blue)]
[Jonin Qualification (Blue)]
[Otsutsuki Bloodline (Blue)]
Just like there are differences between Red Perks, even though Karin and Naruto Uzumaki both have purple bloodlines, the redhead's purity definitely surpasses the blonde's, even if this blonde has the Chakra of his ancestors within him.
Moreover, Izayoi is very sure that five Perks are not Karin's limit.
When he first started learning Medical Ninjutsu, he unlocked the Medical Genius (Blue) Perk.
The Uzumaki Clan inherently possesses a talent for Sealing Technique.
As long as Karin starts learning Sealing Technique, she will definitely unlock the Sealing Genius (Blue) talent like Izayoi did.
At that time, Karin will be a Genius with six Perks.
How could Izayoi possibly give such a talent to Orochimaru?
Hinata and Shino Aburame naturally didn't know what Izayoi was thinking.
However, Shino Aburame did hear something, and couldn't help but adjust his sunglasses, reminding him, "Izayoi, are you planning to recruit ninjas from other ninja villages? That's illegal."
"Then, Shino, will you report me?" Izayoi asked with a smile.
Shino Aburame thought for a moment and said, "If you don't keep her in Konoha, I won't."
During this period of time together, Shino Aburame already regarded Izayoi and Hinata as companions.
Izayoi also wouldn't ignore him like Naruto Uzumaki and the others, which made Shino Aburame feel very favorable towards him.
In his heart, Izayoi and Hinata are his friends.
He would not betray his friends!
Provided that Izayoi doesn't do anything to betray the village.
'Imprisoning' ninjas from other countries in Konoha is already a very serious diplomatic incident.
As the heir to the Aburame Clan, Shino Aburame cannot turn a blind eye.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Izayoi nodded with a smile.
Seeing Izayoi agree so readily, Shino Aburame also stated, "If there's anything you need help with, just let me know."
"You and Hinata just need to help me get rid of those two Grass Ninja."
...
Eighth Squad, using Full Speed Body Flicker Technique, is rapidly closing the distance with Karin's team.
At this time, Karin is being directed by her teammates to set up traps.
"Hurry up, if we get discovered, we'll leave you here."
"Ah... yes!"
"What a useless thing, if your healing ability wasn't somewhat useful, I really wouldn't want to bring you along as a burden."
"I'm... I'm sorry."
Karin, threatened and reprimanded by her teammates, didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. Instead, she set up traps while apologizing in a trembling voice, extremely humble.
This is the status of an outsider.
Although Karin grew up in the Grass Ninja Village, her mother was not from the village. Even if she could become a ninja, she would still be an outsider who couldn't gain the village's trust.
Clearly, both Karin and her mother possessed extremely powerful Physical Stamina Healing.
However, the Grass Ninja Village only used this mother and daughter as healing packs.
Anyone who was injured could come and absorb their Chakra to recover, to the point where Karin's mother, despite inheriting the Uzumaki Clan's powerful life force, passed away early.
And Karin also became a malnourished girl with nearsightedness.
What's even more ridiculous is that the Grass Ninja Village was very good at researching the Ninjutsu of other countries, but they didn't know what red hair and Physical Stamina Healing meant.
"Trigram Palm!"
Just as Karin was setting up a trap, she suddenly heard a delicate shout from a girl beside her.
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 companion.
Turning her head to look, she saw one of her companions standing under a big tree, already stuck to the trunk like a hanging painting, with cracks all around his body and blood spurting from his mouth.
Another companion hadn't even reacted before being submerged by countless insects falling from the sky. After letting out a scream, he fell to the ground and became silent.
Karin was so frightened by this scene that she collapsed on the ground, her already pale face becoming even paler.
Just then, she heard a gentle laugh beside her.
"Yo, we meet again."
Following the sound, she saw two boys and a girl 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 sleeve.
The next second, Hinata's eyes suddenly turned sharp.
Karin's forearm was covered with different shaped teeth marks.
Of course, this wasn't the reason for Hinata's anger.
She and Hanabi absorb Izayoi's Chakra every day, and in the past two years, they haven't even left a single tooth mark.
This is because the Chakra they absorb can't even keep up with Izayoi's recovery speed.
But Karin only has two teammates, and there are at least several people's worth of teeth marks on her arm, and that's just one arm.
This shows that her situation is the opposite of Izayoi's, her recovery speed can't keep up with the speed at which her Chakra is being absorbed.
"Trigram Palm!"
Hinata stood up and once again unleashed a shockwave from a distance, directly killing the dying Grass Ninja on the spot.
From beginning to end, Hinata didn't say a word of concern to Karin.
But her actions made Karin's eyes uncontrollably fill with mist, tears swirling.
After her mother's death, after many years, she finally felt the feeling of being cared for again.
And this feeling was given to her by the enemy.
