After a long time, the tense and guarded Naruto and Karin received no response.
If there had been outsiders present, they would have seen Naruto and Karin staring blankly upward at the dense foliage of the large tree beside them.
If the enemy didn't move, neither would they!
That was what Naruto and Karin were thinking right now.
Who the hell knew what would happen if they rashly charged into those dense leaves?
Perhaps the unknown presence had grown impatient from waiting. After another three to five minutes, movement finally came from within the thick foliage.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of cold light shot straight at Naruto.
"Clang!"
Already prepared, Karin swiftly pulled out a kunai and blocked the attack for Naruto.
Once that flash of cold light was stopped, they could see that it was the kunai Naruto had thrown out not long ago.
In other words, the unknown presence within the dense leaves had thrown Naruto's kunai back at them exactly as it had been thrown!
"Clap!"
"Wind Style: Gale Palm!"
After Karin blocked the kunai for Naruto, Naruto did not remain idle. He brought his hands together, and a fierce gale surged toward the tree in front of him.
Naruto and Karin had not simply been standing there doing nothing!
Don't forget, although there were only two of them and they had not spoken, the Nine-Tails was there!
And the Nine-Tails had served as their messenger.
This made the Nine-Tails somewhat dissatisfied, but before it could confirm whether the unknown presence in the tree was the person it had always deeply feared, it could only compromise and help Naruto, even if only for its own safety.
Thus, Naruto conveyed his plan to Karin through the Nine-Tails.
That was why Karin had blocked the flying kunai for Naruto earlier,
