Naruto still had no idea he had already been sold out.
The girl had come right to their door, and she liked his little brother. Of course Meihui couldn't let this opportunity slip away, so he agreed to Shizuka's request on the spot.
Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi weren't having such an easy time. With Karin in tow, they set off in search of the border Meihui had mentioned.
Passing through a village, they stopped to rest, only to find that a riot had broken out there.
They had no idea what had happened. Some of the villagers wandered around like walking corpses, their eyes vacant, their movements those of zombies.
Thought that was all? Then you couldn't have been more wrong. Those villagers might not have looked dangerous, but that was far from the truth. You couldn't afford to give them a second glance, because by then, they would explode.
Explosions rang out everywhere, leaving Sasuke and Itachi baffled. Karin was the one who told them that the chakra inside those people's bodies was in chaos.
Fortunately, the Sharingan's genjutsu saved several villagers who had been about to explode, and Sasuke even rescued a little girl.
"Thank you, big brother."
After being rescued, the little girl thanked Sasuke.
Once the group had left, the terrified expression on the little girl's face vanished, replaced by calm contemplation.
"Just as I thought. There was no mistaking that feeling. It was the Sharingan."
The instant Sasuke and Itachi had acted, Chino had sensed the Sharingan's power.
Chino belonged to the Chinoike Clan, which had quite a history with the Uchiha Clan.
They could even be called mortal enemies, because the Chinoike Clan also possessed a kekkei genkai similar to the Uchiha Clan's-the Ketsuryūgan.
Even the way it awakened was much like the
