Chapter 59: A Genius Over Five Entries
"The second Chunin Selection Exam... officially begins!"
As the exam commenced, Mitarashi Anko's voice rang in the ears of all proctors and examinees.
The proctors standing guard at the entrance immediately pulled out their keys to open the iron gate and ordered the examinees, "Enter."
In a split second, the first-test passed examinees either changed into afterimages and flew in, or clenched their fists with hands interlocked at the back of their bodies and ran in at the ninja sprint, or walked in slowly.
Team 8 was the last one.
"Izayoi-kun, do you think we'll attack first?" Hinata asked.
"Don't worry, let's try to find someone first."
Izayoi activated Tenseigan, and his vision became a God's view, initially covering the whole Forest of Death, then alternating between the teams one at a time like a surveillance system.
In a short while, Karin and her two teammates' locations were revealed before Izayoi.
"Come on." Izayoi took flight instantly.
Hinata and Shino Aburame pursued close behind.
"Izayoi-kun, are you going to search for that Kusa ninja girl?"
Hinata sort of forecast what Izayoi was going to do.
"Yes, this skill cannot be wasted." Izayoi assented.
Izayoi prepared himself ahead of time for this exam and even wore make-up contact lenses.
He wanted to hand over the fate of two people, one of them Karin.
Heading to the black market caused Izayoi to understand the trouble of being a lone wolf.
If it were not for the cunning to keep Zabuza Momochi and Haku alive, Izayoi would not have a human puppet so far.
Haku is a good tool person but only for Zabuza Momochi.
Izayoi doesn't believe in Zabuza Momochi, and hence he will not employ such a betrayer.
But later, Izayoi came up with the idea of employing subordinates.
Karin is among them.
On family devastation, parental premature death, and loss of inheritance, she still succeeds in waking up all the exceptional abilities of the Uzumaki clan when merely sixteen years old.
Karin's potential is among the strongest even within the millennium-old history of the Uzumaki clan.
Even if perhaps not altered destiny against the heaven's will, Karin's logs are brighter than innumerable rookies.
[Uzumaki Bloodline (Purple)]
[Chakra Control (Purple)]
[Medical Genius (Blue)]
[Jonin Qualification (Blue)]
[Otsutsuki Bloodline (Blue)]
Since there are gaps between red entries, although both the bloodlines of Karin and Naruto Uzumaki are purple, the red-haired one's purity is absolutely higher than the golden-haired one even if there is the ancestor's chakra in the golden-haired one.
And Izayoi is pretty sure that five entries are not Karin's limit.
He unlocked the entry of Medical Genius (Blue) the instant he learned medical ninjutsu for the first time.
Uzumaki clan possesses the talent of sealing techniques.
As long as Karin starts learning sealing techniques, she will definitely automatically unlock the talent of Sealing Genius (Blue) just like Izayoi.
At that time, Karin will be a genius of six entries.
How is it that Izayoi grants such a talent to Orochimaru?
Hinata and Shino Aburame certainly didn't have a clue about what Izayoi was thinking.
But Shino Aburame did catch something and couldn't help but shove his sunglasses and reminded, "Izayoi, are you going to enlist ninjas from other ninja villages? This is illegal."
"Then Shino, will you go complain?" Izayoi asked with a grin.
Shino Aburame thought for a moment and replied, "I won't if you don't keep her in Konoha."
Throughout this time period, Shino Aburame has encountered Izayoi and Hinata as friends.
Izayoi would never neglect him like Naruto Uzumaki and some others, so that made Shino Aburame good towards him.
Deep down inside, Izayoi and Hinata are his friends.
He won't betray his friends!
The scenario is that Izayoi never does anything which is sorry on behalf of the village.
'Jailing' overseas ninjas in Konoha is already a seriously serious diplomatic accident.
As the heir of the Aburame clan, Shino Aburame cannot remain indifferent.
"Don't worry, I will deal with it." Izayoi smiled and nodded.
Watching Izayoi agree so readily, Shino Aburame also made his intention clear, "If you require any help, just inform me."
"You and Hinata only need to look after the two Kusa ninjas."
Team 8, which was entirely instantaneous, was rapidly gaining ground on Karin's team.
Now, Karin was being told by her teammates to set traps.
"Move more quickly, if anyone finds out, we will leave you behind here."
"Ahh... yes!"
"What a useless item. If not for your healing ability, I would not want to give you this weight."
"I... I apologize."
Karin, who was admonished and warned by fellow teammates, did not dare be unhappy. Instead, she lay in wait while she apologized with her trembling voice and being extremely obsequious.
This is an outsiders' village.
Even though Karin was born a villager of Kusa Village, the local resident of the village was not her mother. Even if she was entitled as a ninja, she was still an outsider that could not trust the village.
Obviously, Karin and her mother have extremely strong physical healing.
However, Kusa Village's use of this mother and daughter is nothing but a medical kit.
People who have been injured are welcome to drop by to absorb their chakra to recover from injuries, so Karin's mother, who had the strong vitality of the Uzumaki clan, died young.
And Karin became a malnourished girl with nearsightedness.
Even more ridiculous is that Kusa Village is good at studying ninjutsu from other countries, but they don't know what red hair and healing bodies are.
"Eight Trigrams - Vacuum Palm!"
While Karin was setting traps, a gentle cry of a girl suddenly reached her ears.
Meanwhile, there was the buzzing sound of far and near.
Before she could look up, a loud thud emanated from where her companion was.
Looking back, she saw a companion dangling from beneath a large tree, already stuck on the trunk like an artwork hanging in the air, with cracks in his entire body and blood spilling out of his mouth.
The other companion had not replied yet, and was covered by hundreds of insects falling from the sky. Having screamed, he fell to the ground and said nothing.
Karin was frightened so much by this sight that she sat on the ground. Her little face, which didn't hold much blood, was even paler.
At this time, a gentle laughter came into her ears.
"Yo, we meet again."
She obeyed the voice and saw one woman and two men in front of her.
Glaaring at the one in the middle, Izayoi, Karin's eyes widened behind her specs: "It's you!"
"Let me see your arm."
Hinata knelt down and took Karin's arm, rolling up her cuff.
The next instant, Hinata's eyes snapped.
The forearm of Karin was covered with tooth marks of all shapes.
Naturally, this is not why Hinata is angry.
She and Hanabi eat Izayoi's chakra every day. For the past two years, they didn't leave even a single tooth mark.
Because the chakra eaten by them can't compare to Izayoi's regen speed.
But Karin only has two members, but at least there are multiple tooth marks on her arm, and it is just one arm.
This means her condition is opposite to Izayoi's, and the recovery speed cannot possibly keep up with the consumption speed of chakra.
"Eight Trigrams - Vacuum Palm!"
Hinata stood up and shocked a shock wave again, killing the perishing Kusa ninja instantly.
From beginning to end, Hinata never queried Karin with concern.
But what she did made Karin's eyes grow uncontrollably watery, and tears rose.
After her mother's death, after all those years, she was finally able to feel the feeling of being looked after.
And this feeling was given to her by the enemy.
