"That solved it?"
Karin watched the lifeless Sasuke fall from the sky and froze for a moment.
As expected of the techniques of Uchiha Hunter Dark Tobirama Senju. He had taken down the powerful Sasuke Uchiha so easily.
Of course, that was also thanks to Naruto's absurdly high stats, and the fact that his vital points came with Hollowfication, leaving Sasuke completely unable to counterattack.
"Great, no time to waste. Let me cut off his head first!"
Karin raised a blade and moved forward to finish Sasuke off, making sure he was dead.
"Wait."
Naruto hurriedly stepped in front of Sasuke's "corpse" and stopped Karin. "Well, Sasuke only saved a bear and beat you up, didn't he? There's no need for such a huge grudge, right?"
Karin froze at Naruto's obstruction and his words, then frowned deeply.
"You have a point."
After a brief hesitation, Karin accepted Naruto's reasoning and lowered her sword.
"Since you don't want me to damage his body, you deal with it. I don't want to see him again."
With that, Karin turned and left without looking back.
Karin's reaction left Naruto scratching his head.
It had gone too smoothly.
Naruto felt like his talk-no-jutsu had barely even begun, yet Karin had already been persuaded.
In the end, Naruto could not be bothered to dwell on it. He simply attributed it to his overwhelming charm and Karin's naturally kind heart.
In reality, the moment Karin left Naruto's sight, she broke into a sprint and even took a boat off Hozuki Castle's island.
The moment Naruto had begun persuading her not to cut off Sasuke's head, Karin had understood that everything Naruto had said before was a lie, and that Sasuke, who appeared to be devoid of life, was definitely not dead.
It was an instinct honed
