Chapter 60: Shino Aburame's Guess, The First Subordinate
While Hinata was finishing off the Kusa ninjas, Izayoi also squatted down, but didn't say anything to Karin with concern.
Instead, he rolled up his sleeve, extended his forearm to Karin, and smiled, "Take a bite, and the tooth marks on your arm will disappear."
Hearing this, Karin, whose tears had already streamed down her cheeks, widened her eyes again. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, but also with a strong sense of joy as she looked at Izayoi and said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that you also..."
"Yes."
Izayoi nodded and told a kind lie, "Although our hair color is different, our ancestors should have been from the same clan. So, I saw your special quality at a glance."
"That's... that's great."
Karin suddenly bit her lower lip and muttered to herself with a sob.
Then her delicate shoulders trembled slightly.
Tears, like raindrops, wet her glasses and dripped onto the ground.
She... was finally no longer an orphan.
She... still had clan members!
At this moment, Karin really wanted to cry out loud.
But fearing that her clan members would dislike her, she could only sob softly.
Izayoi didn't speak, but smiled as he watched Karin vent her emotions.
Hinata stood silently by.
Shino Aburame, not wanting to disturb the reunion of clan members, went to the two corpses to search for their scrolls.
At the same time, Shino Aburame was also guessing in his heart.
Red hair, special healing ability, clan members...
These keywords felt a bit familiar, as if he had heard his father mention them.
Suddenly, Shino Aburame seemed to think of something, and his footsteps paused slightly.
Then, he continued to walk towards the two corpses, while adjusting his sunglasses with his hand.
He seemed to know why Izayoi possessed such a huge amount of chakra.
It turned out that Izayoi had the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan!
History books record that the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan were distant relatives.
Before the establishment of Konoha, the Uzumaki clan still lived on the ninja continent, and its location was also in the Land of Fire.
After the establishment of Konoha, the Uzumaki clan did not join Konoha, but left the ninja continent and established Uzushiogakure on a certain island.
Konoha and Uzushiogakure were also eternal allies.
It seemed that Izayoi's ancestors were either members of the Uzumaki clan, or they had intermarried with members of the Uzumaki clan during the Warring States period before Konoha was established.
The bloodline was diluted generation after generation, and the surname and characteristics disappeared, and then it was distantly awakened in Izayoi's generation.
The more Shino Aburame thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely high.
To be precise, only this explanation made sense.
He seemed to understand why Izayoi wanted to recruit that girl.
Kagura Shingan, Izayoi should have awakened this unique ability of the Uzumaki clan!
Karin cried for several minutes before gradually stopping, as if realizing something.
"Wipe it."
Hinata leaned down and handed over a handkerchief.
"Thank... thank you." Karin took the handkerchief and thanked her softly.
After she wiped away her tears, Izayoi again extended his forearm and smiled, "Take a bite, and your injuries will recover."
"No... no need, I'll be fine after resting for a while." Karin shook her head repeatedly.
Facing this clan member, she was even more humble than in front of her two companions.
Just like Naruto Uzumaki, Haku, and Kimimaro Kaguya had just obtained 'love', for these orphans with tragic fates, the 'love' of recognition, care, and acceptance was the light that tore through the darkness.
Those who have seen the light can no longer endure the darkness.
Just as she didn't dare to cry loudly just now, she also didn't dare to bite Izayoi now.
Karin was afraid that Izayoi, this clan member, would dislike her.
Izayoi naturally saw Karin's fear and couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, bite as much as you want, my chakra is strong. Quickly recover your state, otherwise I'm afraid you will die suddenly at any time, hurry up!"
At the end, Izayoi's tone became a little forceful.
"Yes!"
Frightened, Karin quickly held Izayoi's forearm with both hands, then carefully glanced at Izayoi, then at Hinata beside Izayoi who had a gentle smile and no displeasure, and said softly, "Then... then I'll have to trouble you."
After saying that, Karin opened her mouth and gently bit Izayoi's forearm, not daring to use too much force at all.
"A little harder, it's okay." Izayoi comforted with a smile.
Looking at Izayoi's encouraging eyes, Karin blinked and slowly increased the force a little.
Immediately, Karin's eyes widened.
Originally extremely weak, she felt as if she had suddenly drunk a mouthful of ice-cold purified water when she was about to die of thirst in the desert, or like a hungry ghost eating delicacies, returning to the fireplace from outside in winter, a warm current surged in her body, spreading throughout her.
The tooth marks on her arm disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Her malnourished skin gradually gained a hint of redness.
Her pale face gained color.
Even her nearsighted eyes became clearer.
Completely... completely not on the same level.
Karin looked shocked.
She had also used physical healing to treat herself, and had absorbed her mother's chakra when she was a child.
But neither her chakra nor her mother's chakra was comparable to Izayoi's chakra at all.
To give an example, if she wanted to save a seriously injured person now, she might have to exhaust all her chakra, or even overdraft her vitality.
And if Izayoi saved a seriously injured person, the consumption might only be a little more than the chakra just now.
What quality of chakra is this?
Izayoi didn't know what Karin was thinking, otherwise he would definitely smile slightly.
This is the gold content of the noble Otsutsuki + physical healing.
After replenishing Karin's blood, Izayoi stood up, extended his palm, and smiled, "My clan member, would you like to follow me from now on?"
"Can... can I?" Karin said excitedly.
"Of course."
Izayoi nodded with a smile and said, "But in that case, you can't be a ninja anymore, and I'm not sure if I can let you join Konoha in the future."
"I'm willing, I'm willing."
Karin nodded repeatedly excitedly.
Whether she can continue to be a ninja is irrelevant to Karin.
Her dream is not to be a ninja, but to have a home.
When her mother was still alive, her home was in Kusa Village.
After her mother died, she had no home.
Now that she has found her clan members, she has a new family.
"Very good, then you go with my shadow clone, he will take you to a safe place."
Izayoi formed a hand seal with one hand, created a shadow clone, then pulled Karin up, patted her shoulder and said, "I'll come find you after I finish the exam."
"Mmm hmm..."
Karin nodded repeatedly again, not afraid that Izayoi would sell her out at all.
After spending a few more days together, if her goodwill rises to a certain level, even if Izayoi sells Karin, Karin will probably help him count the money.
The orphans of this world are so loyal!
