Karin stood before the Waterfall of Truth, staring at the seemingly empty stream, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
But that nervousness vanished with the appearance of a little girl.
"Are you my dark side? Why are you this age?" Karin asked in confusion as she looked at her former self.
"Impostor, lunatic, get out of my body... This is my body, give it back..." The young Karin was covered in bite marks, her eyes filled with hatred and jealousy.
Karin could not help frowning at the sight. She murmured, "Was it because of that experiment?"
Adamantine Sealing Chains bound the young Karin, and Karin's thoughts returned to many years ago...
At that time, Karin had just been taken out of Kusagakure by Orochimaru, and she distrusted everything around her.
Orochimaru in particular, that evil scientist, terrified the young Karin like a demon.
Yet in the end, Karin had chosen to cooperate with Orochimaru's experiment. As for why she had done so, she could no longer remember.
During that experiment, her body underwent tremendous changes. At the same time, she lost some of her memories... The only impression left in her mind was Uchiha Shunichi's figure.
That was why Karin had chosen to remain by Uchiha Shunichi's side.
"Tell me what happened back then." Karin showed no fear as she asked her younger self before her in an utterly emotionless tone.
The only answer she received was the young Karin's hateful, jealous gaze.
Feeling somewhat uneasy, Karin placed her hand on her younger self's head and activated the Mind's Eye of the Kagura...
Although the Mind's Eye of the Kagura could not read minds, it was extremely sensitive to emotions. Karin knew very well that the person before her was also herself, merely the self buried deep within her heart.
