At those words, both boys' eyes lit up. A scroll was just what they needed!
That meant they only needed to find one more Earth Scroll tonight before they could head straight to the Tower and pass!
"The scroll is yours. Thank you for saving me. Could you tell me your names?"
Although Karin had said "you" to both of them, her gaze never left Sasuke Uchiha's face. Her voice was sweet and bashful!
"Hmph. Sasuke Uchiha."
"My name's Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm the future Hokage."
Naruto Uzumaki acted much the same as ever, casually patting his chest.
"So your name is Sasuke..."
As Karin gazed at Sasuke Uchiha, her eyes practically sparkled.
Naruto Uzumaki: ???
I helped too! I helped too, so why is she only saying, "Your name is Sasuke"?
I'm mad! So mad!
He stole the spotlight again!
"What's your name? Where are your teammates?"
Sasuke Uchiha still couldn't help himself. Whenever he remembered how Karin had helped him in the Video, he couldn't bring himself to be harsh with her.
"My name is Karin. My teammates abandoned me as soon as we came in..."
Karin patiently explained what she had been through.
Things had naturally changed because of the transmigration. The Grass Ninja had simply snatched Karin's scroll and abandoned her.
But Karin was a sensory ninja. She had detected a battle early on and secretly hidden nearby to watch.
As luck would have it, her teammates were killed in an instant. Since it was a chaotic battle, no one had time to bother with the scroll, which rolled right to her feet.
She picked it up and fled. With a scroll, she could trade it for another team's protection.
But she had been so nervous while fleeing that she accidentally wandered into a bear's territory.
