Karin's pupils contracted slightly, and upon seeing this, Guren's tone immediately softened again.

"But don't worry, it doesn't hurt when I kill..."

Honglian held her hands in front of her, ready to cast a spell.

When Hozuki Suigetsu caught a glimpse of this place out of the corner of his eye, a huge weight of despair rose in his heart.

"Someone...save Karin..." Suigetsu murmured, shaking his head and looking around.

Zabuza and Haku are locked in a duel with the man in the Blood Moon Mask and cannot break free, while Sai and Shin fight together against the man in the Flying Insect Mask.

"Nobody's here..."

"what to do."

Unfortunately, it was all too late...

Honglian gave a gentle smile, then unleashed her magic with a bang, her voice turning cold.

"Just kidding."

In an instant, a sharp crystal spike pierced Karin's chest. Karin's expression froze, and blood flowed from her chest, making the red crystal even more vibrant.

Chapter 101 Escaping Hell

"Karin!" Suigetsu began to roar in despair, but Kabuto Yakushi was not going to give Suigetsu a chance to catch his breath.

Another chakra blade rolled forward, slashing towards Suigetsu with great force.

Suigetsu had no choice but to continue enduring the attack. Suddenly, he noticed something amiss in Yakushi Kabuto's movements...

Kabuto's movements appeared to focus his power on the chakra blade in his hand, while his right hand stealthily slipped into his pocket...

"This is!" Shuiyue focused his attention slightly as he carefully observed this strange scene, recalling a lesson that Yoriichi had given him at the Ninja Academy.

"Class, this lesson is... Ninja Assassination and Defense." Yoriichi's cold voice rang out, immediately exciting the children below.

It should be noted that Principal Kenshin is a very important figure in the entire Yin Yin Village. He only gives two lectures when he has free time, and the content he talks about is always of great importance.

The young ninjas had already taken their seats before class, staring at Yoriichi with curiosity and excitement in their eyes.

This does not include Shuiyue.

Shuiyue sat blankly in his seat, looking bored. He didn't understand what the point of these classes was. Although he was very young, Shuiyue never admitted that he was weak.

Shuiyue always felt that her training was something like fighting wild beasts or engaging in brutal battles within the daggers...

"Sigh..." Shuiyue sighed softly. Even if Kenshin came in person, he would only be giving some useless theoretical lectures...

On the podium, the perceptive Yoriichi noticed Suigetsu's action... Before class started, Yoriichi stepped down from the podium and approached Suigetsu.

“Suigetsu, I know what you’re thinking.” Yoriichi’s voice was low, followed by a faint smile.

"But do you know what?"

Yoriichi leaned down and lowered his voice, speaking in a tone only Suigetsu and Karin could hear:

"People like you and Karin, who have excellent bloodlines, are naturally superior to other ninjas, so you need to cultivate your character and keep working hard."

"I understand." Suigetsu's eyes were unfocused, and he seemed a little impatient, while Karin sat to the side, watching Yoriichi and secretly smiling.

"Listen carefully to my lesson." Yoriichi stood up and walked to the podium.

"Who knows? It really works."

"When competing with other ninjas... as an excellent assassin ninja, you must learn to strike unexpectedly..." Yoriichi began his lecture in a long and detailed manner.

Shuiyue lay on the table, yawned, and listened stiffly to Yuanyi's lecture.

"The best effect of surprise is... to make your opponent misunderstand your actions, and defeat them with an attack method they can't imagine." Yuan paused.

"Even though this tactic is despicable, it's exceptionally effective; after all, the dead don't protest..."

As Suigetsu's consciousness returned to itself, he watched Yakushi Kabuto's actions and a possibility vaguely occurred to him: Yakushi Kabuto was about to launch a sneak attack!

"Don't dead people protest?" Suigetsu frowned, gripped her twin swords, and carefully observed Yakushi Kabuto's movements.

Kabuto smiled slightly and slashed at Suigetsu with his chakra blade. Suigetsu's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately raised his twin blades to defend against the attack.

Just then, Kabuto suddenly let out a sinister laugh, his right hand emerging from his pocket, holding several densely packed silver needles coated with venom!

"Whoosh!" Kabuto abandoned his confrontation with the twin swords, suddenly lowered his body, and thrust at Suigetsu with all his might.

Shuiyue won't be able to react to this move!

Yakushi Kabuto laughed loudly as he passed through a layer of water.

"What? What's going on?" Kabuto Yakushi ran as he realized something was wrong.

Mizuki reacted quickly, his body turning into water. Then, his head emerged from the water, and he drew a short knife from his waist, stabbing it fiercely into Yakushi Kabuto's back.

Blood gushed out instantly like a fountain!

Yakushi Kabuto turned around, his smile somewhat stiff. He noticed that Suigetsu had also given up resisting with her twin swords and instead used the short sword at her waist to launch a sneak attack.

"Clang..." The twin swords fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Hearing the sound of the twin swords hitting the ground, Kabuto Yakushi's body collapsed like a dam breaking, his body going numb.

Shuiyue snorted coldly and stepped forward to deliver a quick blow, soon turning Yaoshi into a bloody mess.

The pharmacist fell to the ground, and Shuiyue untied his belt and bound his hands and feet.

After doing all this, Shuiyue hurriedly turned around, only to see a scene that made her body tremble.

Two minutes ago.

The red crystal pierced Karin's body, and blood flowed from the wound like a bright red rose.

"It hurts so much..." Karin gradually lost her voice, her consciousness fading. She hadn't even had time to react before being stabbed by Guren's crystal attack.

What she didn't know was that Honglian had secretly set up a crystal trap under her feet, approaching her step by step until she successfully ambushed her.

Blood trickled from the corner of Karin's mouth, a hint of resentment in her eyes. She had only recently escaped the hellish Land of Grass...

In the chaotic darkness and endless loneliness, a faint light finally appeared, illuminating her despairing life.

Karin looked up, and the light transformed into a real person. Yoriichi stood in front of her and reached out to wipe away the tears she had secretly shed.

It was a deep-set face, with blood-red eyes that concealed weariness and tenderness. Karin was stunned.

Looking at that face, she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of dependence. That face was clearly tired, and he must be exhausted too, so how could he still have time to pay attention to others?

Karin hesitated, lost in thought, and deliberately extinguished the fire in her heart. The boy wiping away her tears was merely out of pity, not genuine care. In this world, humanity is cold and deceitful...

She frantically berated herself: how could she have developed feelings of dependence on a stranger? It was all a lie! This would ruin her; even her mother couldn't save her!

The light is only temporary; it will eventually go out. Those who become deeply entrenched in it and cannot extricate themselves will ultimately sink into the quagmire of emotions, losing everything.

However, when she saw the light and felt the warmth, she couldn't help but approach it, even if it might be a poisonous snake, she still craved that moment of warmth.

"Karin, come with me..." The Sharingan-wielding boy reached out his hand to her, while gazing at the dark sky in the distance.

"Quick, there's no time...we have to get out of here!"

"Leave here?" Karin's voice trembled, filled with boundless fear.

"Don't try to fool me, I'm not leaving here. Outside...it's even darker..."

"Boom!" A deafening roar resounded as the young man raised his fiery sword high, cleaving through the dark and murky sky to reveal a sky full of stars and a gentle, round moon.

He turned around and gave a warm smile.

"Now, you are free."

The moonlight illuminated Karin's red, tear-stained eyes, and she stood there, shining like a translucent full moon.

Chapter 102 Gathering

Two lines of tears welled up in Karin's eyes as her memories shattered, and scenes from the past replayed in her little head.

First, there was the full moon when she was rescued; then, the evil Blood Curse Warden Wuwei was shot down; and finally, everyone went to the basement to hide in the shadows and listen to the scientist's story...

Memories kept flashing through my mind until I reached the point in time when I said goodbye to Kenshin.

That day, Yoriichi sent people out on a mission, but he didn't call her. Yoriichi refused her request to join the team, and the words from that day were still vivid in her mind.

He said she would have other uses...

But... what exactly is my purpose?

Even now, I'm still holding everyone back...

Karin's consciousness was enveloped in darkness, and she felt as if she had returned to that hellish scene from before.

"Why? Does someone like me not deserve happiness? Am I too weak?" Karin smiled bitterly, watching Guren approach again without moving.

"The vortex bloodline has a truly tenacious vitality..." Honglian remarked as she walked.

"However, he's still a piece of trash."

Karin stiffly raised her head and looked at Guren. As a woman, how could Guren's bloodline limit be so strong?

She may be right; for the weak, even the strongest bloodline is useless.

But... I, a weakling, shouldn't... hold Kenshin back.

Karin struggled to stay upright, her body trembling uncontrollably, which drew gasps of amazement from Guren.

"Not bad," Honglian smiled.

"Sizzle!" A red crystal pierced through Karin's leg once again.

"Cough cough..." Karin coughed up a mouthful of blood, her pupils shrinking sharply.

"My body is gradually becoming weaker." Karin said through tears, her body aching and wanting to stop.

"How can I stop?" Karin kept denying her own cowardice and got up again, as if she were competing with herself.

"Sizzle..." The red crystal pierced her calf, then crystallized continuously, enveloping Karin's body.

"Ah!" Karin cried out and got up again!

"Sizzle!" Another red crystal pierced Karin's throat.
