Chapter Ten: Orochimaru's Shock! [Ten More Chapters-Please Support]

"Mangekyō Sharingan..."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto unconsciously.

"I'll obtain power by my own methods. I won't obey that bastard!"

Karin ignored Sasuke's words.

Instead, she turned to look into the distance.

"The snake will be here soon.

You'd better prepare yourselves."

With that, she lowered Sasuke, who had been bound by Wood Style.

"What?!"

The three of them were startled at the same time.

"He's strong.

Protect yourselves."

As she spoke, Karin created a wood clone.

"My clone will stay by your side. It can protect you for a while."

With that, Karin's nose suddenly twitched twice.

Then she directly threw a kunai.

"Orochimaru, if you're here, stop hiding.

Come out and have a chat."

"Who are you?"

Accompanied by the voice of an older woman, a "Grass Ninja" crawled out of the ground.

Chapter Ten: Orochimaru's Shock! [Ten More Chapters—Please Support]

Orochimaru was somewhat puzzled at this moment.

He couldn't quite figure it out.

Who exactly was this red-haired girl who had suddenly appeared?

Why did she know his identity?

And why wasn't she afraid even after learning who he was?

"Red hair.

You're a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, aren't you?

You can sense me.

It should be the Uzumaki Clan's Secret Jutsu, Mind's Eye of the Kagura."

"The Uzumaki Clan?"

Naruto's team turned to glance at Karin.

Naruto was even more curious about Karin.

After all, she was the first "clan member" he had ever encountered.

"That's right."

Karin nodded.

Then she raised a hand and pointed at Sasuke.

"I'm protecting this person.

The Holy Lord gave me orders.

He said this person must not be bitten by a snake.

So, if you don't want to fight me and attract Konoha's attention, leave immediately."

"Bitten by a snake?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment.

His curiosity grew even stronger.

Why did this red-haired girl know that he wanted to place the Heavenly Curse Mark on Sasuke?

Or...

"When she said he must not be bitten by a snake, was that merely a metaphor?

Could she mean that I mustn't place the curse mark on him?"

Just as Orochimaru was pondering this.

Karin suddenly spoke again.

"That's right~

Weren't you planning to place the Heavenly Curse Mark on him?

And weren't you planning to take over his body?

Wasn't all of this because Itachi cut off one of your arms back then?"

"Who exactly are you?!"

Killing intent surged wildly in Orochimaru's heart.

He felt that someone had betrayed him.

Otherwise.

There was no way this red-haired girl could know so many secrets!

"What?"

Karin immediately let out a cold laugh.

"Do you really want to fight?

Think carefully~

If we fight.

Your plan might be ruined.

The Konoha Crush plan will fail as well."

"Who exactly are you?!"

The killing intent in Orochimaru's heart could no longer be restrained.

This red-haired girl knew so much about the inside story.

Clearly, someone extremely important had betrayed him.

"Did Kabuto tell you all this?"

"Of course not~"

Karin pushed up her glasses. "A secret makes a woman woman~

(Secrets make women more womanly~)"

"..."

Orochimaru suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips with a sinister grin.

"How interesting~

It seems you won't tell me."

"Bang!"

After saying that, Orochimaru directly transformed into a half-snake, half-human form and charged toward Karin.

Karin didn't panic in the slightest when she saw this.

She quickly formed hand seals, then slapped the ground.

"Wood Style: Wood Golem!"

The ground beneath Orochimaru's feet shattered instantly, and one hard wooden pillar after another slammed toward him!

"Wood Style?!"

Orochimaru was stunned!

He hadn't been shocked that Karin knew some confidential information.

As long as someone betrayed him, such information could be obtained.

But.

Karin knew Wood Style. That completely shocked him.

As the person once responsible for the "Hashirama Cells experiment," he knew very well how powerful Wood Style was.

At the same time.

He also knew.

Without Hashirama Cells, using Wood Style was simply impossible.

"Who exactly is she?!

Why can she use Wood Style?!

Could she have Hashirama's cells in her body?

But there are barely any people in this world capable of conducting such an experiment!

Who exactly is she?

What organization does she belong to?!"

Filled with doubts, Orochimaru continued attacking Karin.

Karin, meanwhile, stopped using Wood Style.

Because her Wood Style had been taught by the Phoenix King.

Bai Hao had given her the Wood Style techniques.

Bai Hao himself hadn't drawn many Wood Style techniques.

Therefore.

She didn't know many Wood Style techniques either.

What she was truly skilled at was close-quarters combat.

Thus.

The two of them battled.

No matter how fast Orochimaru was, Karin steadily suppressed him.

This kind of battle.

It left Orochimaru shaken.

"Who exactly is she?

She's clearly not very old, yet she's this powerful?!

Could she be another genius comparable to Itachi?!"

Although Orochimaru had been unable to defeat her after fighting for a long time, there was not the slightest trace of panic in his heart.

In a battle between ninjas.

Information was the most important thing.
