Add a Grilled Fish for That Table

Three days later, at the border of the Land of Grass.

Guy hurried along at full speed and finally reached the outskirts of Kusagakure.

He had a clear target: find a woman.

A woman with red hair.

Karin's mother!

Karin was a month older than Sasuke, so she should only be four or five months old now.

A red-haired woman carrying an infant.

With such a clear target, she should not be difficult to find.

One reason Guy had come out this time was to search for Orochimaru's potential secret bases.

He also suspected that the base was likely somewhere in the Land of Rice Fields.

But he was in no hurry.

Once Orochimaru defected, who knew whether he would take away those promising children ahead of time?

In order to "snatch away" these future talents, Orochimaru's secret base could wait for now.

He would find the few little ones whose locations were certain first.

Guy entered Kusagakure's territory.

The scenes along the way were rather bleak. Many ragged vagrants huddled in street corners, their eyes numb and lifeless.

Although the Third Shinobi World War had basically ended and the major nations were rebuilding from ruin, frictions and local conflicts between smaller nations and minor shinobi villages had never truly ceased.

Kusagakure had always had disputes and clashes with its neighboring forces, sometimes even erupting into small-scale wars.

As a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Karin's mother possesses extremely high vitality and chakra. A bite can heal injuries, producing the effects of medical ninjutsu.

She has most likely already been discovered by Kusagakure's shinobi and is being used as a "mobile blood pack."

That should be easy enough to ask about.

Guy observed his surroundings as he thought.

*I just don't know whether Karin's father is still around at this
