Back to the village. This home-like feeling... I'm falling for it!

Kurenai Yuhi: Hahahaha... Looks like Ino has finally met her match.

Ino Yamanaka: Interesting. When Karin gets back, I'll see whether she's really putting on an act.

Tenten: Waaaah... Naruto-kun promised to have dinner with me, but someone else got to him first again.

Hinata Hyuga: Don't be sad, Tenten. You'll get used to it. Naruto-kun even said I was his first wife.

Mitaraishi Anko: I'm the one who should be crying, okay? That guy did... that to me, then acted like he'd forgotten all about me. He's awful!

Kurotsuchi: Karin, right? The lustful woman? Make sure you check whether she truly cares about Naruto.

Mei Terumi: Exactly!

Naruto Uzumaki had no idea what the women were thinking. He kept writing about Karin in his diary.

[Come to think of it, Karin's experiences were heartbreaking too.]

[In the Original Story, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood by when Uzushio Village was destroyed, and nearly every member of the Uzumaki Clan died.]

[The few who ended up scattered elsewhere lived miserable lives too.]

Tsunade and the others drew sharp breaths when they read that.

They hadn't expected people to still be suffering because of Hiruzen Sarutobi so long after his death.

After all,

Uzushio Village had been Konoha's staunch ally.

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, had married a member of the Uzumaki Clan.

And yet,

When other Ninja Villages joined forces to destroy Uzushio Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi had done nothing.

It was a good thing Naruto had killed him early. Who knew how many more people that man would have gotten killed?

[After Uzushio Village fell, Karin's parents wandered across the Shinobi World.]

[Later, after Karin's mother became pregnant, her father was killed.]

[To survive, Karin's mother went to Kusagakure.]

[But that was where the nightmare began for mother and daughter.]

Naruto Uzumaki paused
