While Hinata finished off the enemy, Izayoi crouched down as well, but he did not speak to comfort Karin.
Instead, he rolled up his sleeve, held his forearm out before Karin, and smiled. "Take a bite. Then the teeth marks on your hand will disappear."
At his words, Karin, whose tears had already slipped from the corners of her eyes, widened them again. Looking at Izayoi with disbelief mixed with intense joy, she asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that you too..."
"Mm."
Izayoi nodded and told a well-intentioned lie. "Although our hair colors are different, our ancestors should have been from the same clan. That's why I recognized your uniqueness at first glance."

He seemed to understand why Izayoi possessed such enormous Chakra.
So Izayoi carried the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan!
