After leaving the forest where they had met with Orochimaru, Shinji and the others raced toward Konoha.
Shinji had the Byakugan, Karin had the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, and Ido was a Spirit Body. Together, the three of them could thwart any surveillance or pursuit, so they had no need to worry about their whereabouts being exposed.
On the road.
Ido kept her eyes fixed on Karin, her gaze full of resentment. But with Shinji there, she didn't dare show it.
Just then, Karin glanced back at Ido, then turned away.
Ido's heart jolted.
At the moment their eyes met, she had tried to invade Karin's mind with her Spirit Body. But just as she was about to act, a wave of dread washed over her.
She immediately understood that her Spirit Body was warning her.

For instance, the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku could see the future, while Shion, the Land of Demons Miko, could foresee death.
Ido thought to herself, She wasn't this strong last time. How did she get so much stronger in just a few days? Damn it, who exactly is this "B"?
Karin was also keeping an eye on Ido behind her. Is she one of Lord Shinji's subordinates too? Strange, she feels familiar somehow. Have we met somewhere before?
Ido's appearance had made Karin feel quite threatened.

It also made her realize that Lord Shinji had no shortage of subordinates. She silently resolved, I absolutely can't fall behind. I can't let Lord Shinji think I'm useless!
Ido looked at Shinji
