"Karin, Grandma Chiyo, are you all right?"
After the dust settled, Naruko looked around.
An ice flower stood in front of the three of them.
The "Snow Woman" summoned by Sparkle had blocked the attack from this side.
"Cough, cough, we're fine—Gaara is fine too—"
Karin looked at Gaara beside her.
Although he had yet to wake up, his vital signs had stabilized by now.

The chains directly pinned the Third Hokage's puppet to the ground.

Naruko hid behind a massive boulder.
The rock had fallen from the sky earlier, and now it happened to shield her.
Karin had already taken Gaara to a lower area.
Grandma Chiyo was on the other side.
"Grandma Chiyo," Naruko
