I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 45 The Girl with a Nosebleed

Although they were three idiots, they still brought good stuff to Class 8.

"Yagyu-kun, their scroll is the Book of Heaven."

Hinata found a scroll on a person, and the seal had the character "天" (Ten) written on it.

"Great, we've gathered everything. Let's go find Ino and Sakura now." Yagyu nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, the three shadow clones also activated their red eyes, searching for Karin's whereabouts in the Forest of Death.

The Forest of Death is not small; each entrance is ten kilometers away from the central tower, and if you walk from east to west, that's a full twenty kilometers.

This is nothing for the Body Flicker Technique, but it is a considerable challenge for Yagyu's red-eyed farsightedness.

At first, Yagyu thought Karin's location would be easy to find.

After all, besides Naruto and Gaara, Karin and Orochimaru have the most chakra.

There's no need to search for Karin in the red world; all you need to do is find a massive amount of chakra.

Soon, Yagyu realized he was wrong.

Karin does indeed have amazing chakra, but not now.

Karin is currently just a mobile blood bank for the Grass Village. She came here to participate in the Chunin Exams just to be a blood bank for her teammates.

Her teammates would bite her to heal whenever they were injured, and coupled with the extremely poor treatment she received in Kusagakure, Karin's current chakra level is completely inconsistent with the physique of the Uzumaki clan.

Perhaps that's why her red hair didn't attract much attention.

After all, besides the Uzumaki clan, there are quite a few people in the ninja world with red hair.

With the extinction of the Uzumaki clan, people with red hair are now the least likely to be descendants of the Uzumaki clan, unless they possess a massive amount of chakra.

With that in mind, the three shadow clones stopped glancing over the female ninjas hastily and began to carefully observe them.

More than an hour later, a shadow clone finally found Karin.

Then, the shadow clone turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.

His memories were all fed back to his original body.

After pinpointing Karin's location, Yagyu immediately led Shino Aburame and Hinata in that direction.

Dusk came quickly.

"It's getting dark, let's continue the search tomorrow."

Yagyu said to Shino Aburame and Hinata, "I'll go find some food. You two gather some firewood around here."

After saying that, Liu Sheng disappeared in an instant without waiting for the two to speak.

His figure flashed through the forest, and Liu Sheng formed a hand seal, creating a shadow clone.

After sending his shadow clones to hunt, Yagyu activated his red-eyed far-sightedness and searched for Karin's location in the surrounding area.

Before long, Yagyu left Hinata's Byakugan's range of vision and found Karin two kilometers away.

Coincidentally, it was getting dark when Karin was kicked out by her companions and ordered to find food.

So, Yagyu increased his Body Flicker speed and first arrived in front of Karin's companion.

"Who are you……"

Upon seeing Yagyu appear in a flash, the two Grass Ninja instantly recognized him.

Just as they stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment, about to say something...

The world before my eyes has suddenly undergone earth-shattering changes.

One second they were in the forest, the next they were in a blood-red space.

Above the sky, a pair of moon-like red eyes floated, each containing three black tomoe that slowly rotated like a windmill.

Several large black iron nails were stuck in their bodies.

The intense pain made them want to scream.

However, having been deprived of control over their bodies, they couldn't even open their mouths to scream.

To avoid any accidents, Yagyu immediately used a combination of illusion techniques—the Magic Illusion: Shackles Technique + Golden Binding Technique!

click-

The sound of space and necks shattering rang out simultaneously, and before the consciousness of the two Grass Ninjas could return to the real world, they were completely consumed by darkness.

Outside, after Yagyu snapped the necks of two Grass Ninja, he put the Grass Ninja corpses, which were only 1.6 meters tall and smaller in size and weight than him, into his spatial backpack.

Immediately afterward, Yagyu teleported to Karin's vicinity.

At this time, Karin had clearly not yet awakened the Kagura Mind's Eye, and was extremely timid, not daring to hunt at all, and could only pick up some edible plants.

If Yagyu hadn't come, Karin would have taken these things back and would probably have gotten scolded and beaten again.

But starting today, your fate will change.

Liu Sheng thought to himself.

Immediately, Yagyu vanished in an instant and found a huge black bear not far away.

Yagyu used his Sharingan to hypnotize the black bear, causing it to walk towards Karin's direction.

Yagyu didn't wait for Karin to be approached by the beast before making his move, as this would not only waste time but also make it easy for Sasuke Uchiha to intercept him.

He wanted to personally orchestrate the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario.

Although this is somewhat despicable, the result is far better than Karin's original work.

"roar……"

The black bear quickly found Xianglin.

A roar startled Karin, who was squatting on the ground picking mushrooms, so much so that she collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the black giant bear with its gaping maw charging towards her, Karin's face turned pale, and she trembled as she tried to get up and run away, but her body wouldn't listen to her at the crucial moment.

"Help...help me!"

As the black bear drew closer, Karin, whose legs were trembling, suddenly mustered all her strength and shouted, hoping for a miracle.

whoosh-

Perhaps heaven heard her voice, for a miracle truly occurred.

A piercing whistling sound rang out as a kunai shot out and precisely pierced the black bear's head.

The poor tool bear fell flat on its face and was unable to get up.

Are you alright?

At that moment, an incredibly pleasant sound, as warm as the morning sun, slowly entered Karin's ears.

Looking up in the direction of the sound, Karin saw a tall figure descending from the sky, landing in front of her and smiling as he asked her a question.

Although the sun is now setting and dusk has been swallowed by night.

But in Karin's eyes, Yagyu was more dazzling than the sun at this moment, his whole body radiating golden light.

His handsome face, gentle smile, and tall, upright posture...

At this moment, Karin seemed to have found the prototype of the hero and prince on a white horse in novels and plays, as if she had found the object of her fantasy in a dream.

Gradually, Karin's eyes became glazed over.

"?"

Seeing Karin staring at him blankly, Yagyu tilted his head slightly.

I didn't use any illusion magic! Why are you so dense?

So, Yagyu bent down and waved his hand in front of Karin, asking again, "Are you alright?"

Karin's consciousness was finally brought back to its senses.

However, when she saw the handsome face so close to hers, her breath caught in her throat, her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly lowered her head, clenching her small hands tightly, saying, "I...I'm fine..."

tick-

A drop of bright red liquid suddenly fell onto the back of Karin's hand.

Upon seeing this, Liu Sheng was immediately startled: "You have a nosebleed, and you say you're fine?"

hum-

Liu Sheng's words instantly caused the girl to steam like boiling water, with white mist rising from her head.

The girl, who had not yet recovered from the shock, suddenly felt everything go black before her eyes and collapsed to the ground.
