"My lord..."
"Don't want to come with me?" Kazuna smiled at Uzuki Uzumaki, tilting his head as he said softly, "Think carefully before you speak. I'll give you a chance to rephrase!"
His words carried a heavy threat.
He clenched his hand, and a series of crisp cracks rang out.
The Uchiha bully had arrived!
Uzuki Uzumaki trembled.
She had just escaped the tiger's den, only to enter the wolf's lair.
No, the one before her was the real tiger!
Could those Grass ninja even count as wolves in front of him?
They were just a pack of dogs—a pack of cats!
"We'll go with you!"
A childish voice rang out.
"Karin!" Uzuki Uzumaki cried sharply, anxiously grabbing the girl's arm.
"Mom, if we don't leave, you'll die."
Karin Uzumaki raised her arm, which was covered in bite marks.
Her bright eyes were filled with sorrow.
Uzuki Uzumaki had even more bite wounds. Not just on her arms—there was barely a single uninjured spot on her body.
The sight made Kazuna curse those beasts. How could they bite women so viciously?!
Pah!
They shouldn't be biting anyone at all!
Uzuki Uzumaki pressed her thin lips together, her eyes full of hesitation.
The Land of Grass. Kusagakure.
This ninja village had never treated them kindly. Here, they were merely tools.
And tools destined to be bitten beyond repair.
She had long known her fate, and it would arrive very soon.
But Karin couldn't be the same!
She had already reached an agreement with Kusagakure. After she died, Karin would not suffer the same treatment. The Grass ninja would treat her as a companion, and she would live in Kusagakure.
This Uchiha before them was far too dangerous. She absolutely could not let Karin go with him.
How could she refuse him?
