Naruto: Set a goal, conquer the universe.

Page 34

In the end, it was just the other side giving away their lives.

Yes, in a physical sense.

"Naruto's clansmen?" Hinata asked Karin curiously.

She had just been wondering why Naruto and Sasuke didn't kill the other ninjas and instead brought them back.

It turned out to be the case.

"I'd say it's from my mother's side," Naruto said, waving his hand.

His father was a commoner; he didn't belong to any ethnic group.

"Take her to wash up, and after we finish eating, I'll take her out of the forest," Naruto said.

"Oh, by the way, you don't still want to participate in the competition, do you?" Naruto turned to Karin and asked.

"No, no, just take me out of here." Xiangling quickly shook her head.

She never wanted to participate in any competitions in the first place. With her strength, how could she possibly participate in the Chunin Exams? She would only be used as a blood bag by the other two.

"Okay!" Hinata nodded obediently and took Karin's hand to wash up upstream.

Compared to the neat and tidy appearance of Naruto and his friends, Karin looked far too miserable.

He was filthy and covered in wounds.

Naruto and Sasuke begin to work with nature's bounty.

Especially the two plump bear paws, which made Naruto's mouth water. He took out seasonings from his spatial scroll and started brushing various barbecue seasonings on them.

"Is there enough to eat?" Sasuke was worried that there might not be enough food.

After all, all three of them have large stomachs; the more they eat, the faster they can cultivate.

Over the years, he has forced himself to develop a large appetite.

"Just one more and we'll be done, right?" Naruto scratched his head and sent a shadow clone out to hunt.

Seeking the gifts of nature.

Sasuke nodded and continued to focus on preparing the food.

"Hey, Sasuke," Naruto suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke looked up and asked.

A water ball came flying right at him and hit him in the face with a splat.

"O(∩_∩)O Haha~" Naruto immediately pointed at Sasuke and burst into laughter.

"You idiot!" Sasuke cursed angrily, then, not to be outdone, scooped up water from the river at his feet and splashed it at Naruto.

They used the Death Forest as a vacation destination.

Chapter 51 Do you want me to destroy the Grass Ninja Village?

On the other side, Hinata helped Karin wash up.

Xiangling washed herself with peace of mind. The cool water soothed not only her body but also her long-standing anxiety.

Hinata, standing to the side, stared at Karin's exposed arm, her eyes widening slightly.

Xiangling's wounds have all healed, but the scars remain.

The key issue is the scars on Xiangling's body, many of which are teeth marks!

It wasn't an animal bite; it was a human tooth mark.

"What happened to these teeth marks on your body?" Hinata gently traced the teeth marks on Karin's skin with her fingers.

Some are deep, some are shallow; some are old, some are new.

They were densely packed together; it looked terrifying.

Hinata is a kind-hearted girl, and what's more, the girl in front of her is Naruto's clansman. She needs to figure things out.

Xiangling looked at the scars on her body and said in a nonchalant tone, "They were all bitten by people from the village."

"Why would they do this?" Hinata asked, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

She hesitated for a moment, glanced at Hinata's concerned eyes, and then continued, "I... I have a slightly different constitution. As long as someone bites my body, they can quickly recover from their injuries and regain their strength."

Hinata couldn't help but clench her fists: "Are they basically using you as a blood bank?"

Xiangling pursed her lips, looking at Hinata's delicate face filled with anger, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this how the weak are treated?"

Her matter-of-fact attitude only fueled Hinata's anger.

Hinata took a deep breath, patted Karin's hand, and said, "This world shouldn't be like this. You are Naruto's clansman, so stay in Konoha from now on and don't go back to that Kusagakure."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Xiangling's eyes as she cautiously asked, "I... I'm a ninja from Kusagakure. Can I come directly to Konoha?"

She takes it for granted, but that doesn't mean she enjoys being used as a blood bank.

Hinata pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's go back and tell Naruto about you."

She was filled with admiration and love for Naruto, and naturally, she would leave the decisions she couldn't make to Naruto.

The two returned to the spot where the barbecue grill had been set up, and saw Naruto and Sasuke laughing and joking around.

"Huh? I thought they were both cold-blooded, but I didn't expect them to be like this." Xiangling looked at Naruto and Sasuke, who were acting like children, and couldn't help but smile.

"Naruto is alright, Sasuke only acts like this in front of Naruto." Hinata covered her mouth and chuckled.

Noticing that Karin and Hinata had returned, Sasuke put aside his playful intentions and started working on the meat on the barbecue grill.

It's almost ready to eat, isn't it?

"Naruto, look at the teeth marks on Karin's body." Hinata led Karin to Naruto's side and said angrily.

"Tooth marks?" Naruto looked at Xiangling's arm with a puzzled expression. There were teeth marks of various sizes and ages on it.

He frowned and asked, "Why would someone bite you?"

Sasuke also turned his gaze to Karin's arm, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Karin's constitution is extraordinary. As long as you bite her body, you can quickly recover from injuries and regain your strength. I reckon the people of Kusagakure are using her as a blood transfusion bag," Hinata said with a light snort.

"Such a thing exists?" Naruto frowned even more deeply. He had experienced extreme coldness and warmth of human relationships in Konoha, but he had never heard of people being used as blood bags.

"Has the Grass Ninja Village always treated you this way?" Naruto asked, looking at Karin.

“Yes, my mother is like that too.” Xiangling nodded and said, “Only in this way can we have food to eat. This is our job in Kusagakure.”

"This Grass Village is truly despicable, Naruto. Why don't we just let Karin stay in Konoha?" Hinata was genuinely angry, but her good upbringing allowed her to suppress her rage as she pleaded with Naruto.

"Hmm, do you want to go back to Kusagakure or stay in Konoha?" Naruto nodded slightly and asked Karin.

"I'll stay in Konoha." Xiangling answered without hesitation. She didn't want to stay in that Grass Ninja Village, which was like a den of demons, for even a moment longer.

"Then let's stay in Konoha and throw away that Grass Ninja headband," Naruto said to Karin with a smile.

"Huh? That's it?" Xiangling threw off her Grass Ninja headband after hearing Naruto's words. "So I can leave Grass Ninja and join Konoha?"

She looked at Naruto with some disbelief. Could the roles of ninjas really be so easily changed?

"What's wrong? Do I have to destroy the Grass Village before they'll release them?" Naruto scratched his head, looking at Xiangling with a puzzled expression.

(⊙o⊙)….

There's no need to be so radical.

Xiangling was speechless after being choked by Naruto's words.

That's not what she meant.

"Hey, does your Grass Ninja Village leader have Kage-level strength?" Sasuke asked, his tone cold.

"I think... I don't think so," Xiangling said, scratching her head.

"Then it's alright." Sasuke nodded and said.

Without a Kage-level skill level, he could kill indiscriminately.

The Uchiha, these three are never joking.

When the skill levels are equal, I'm never afraid of one-on-one matches.

ε=(?ο｀*))) Sigh, is it really that casual?

"What if there is?" Xiangling asked cautiously.

“Then we’ll have to work together,” Sasuke said casually.

He has to work together with Hinata.

Naruto aside, he could kill a Kage-level opponent on his own.

I'm sorry, I'm too weak to really understand what you're thinking.

Xiangling kept her head bowed deeply.

"What I mean is, will Konoha accept me?" After a pause, Xiangling finally spoke.

"You're worried about that? I'll just talk to the Third Hokage." Naruto waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing serious.

"The Third Hokage, is he your grandfather?" Xiangling's eyes widened.

"No, Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage," Hinata said with a smile.

"Hiss!" Xiangling gasped.

That's pretty impressive.

However, if Naruto had that identity, her problem could indeed be solved.

This aligns with her impression of the world.

If Konoha says something, how can Kusagakure refuse?

The key question is whether Konoha is willing to speak up for her.

Now that Naruto is willing to speak up for her, that's enough.

“It’s ready to eat,” Sasuke said.

"Why is there an extra tiger?" Hinata asked curiously, glancing at the food on the barbecue grill.

"Oh, I was afraid there wouldn't be enough to eat, so I killed an extra one. I also saved our examiner while I was at it," Naruto said nonchalantly.

"You saved the examiner?" Hinata looked at Naruto curiously.

"I don't know what happened to her, she was completely exhausted and surrounded by a group of tigers. Luckily, my shadow clone was hunting and rescued her," Naruto explained.

"Even the examiners have come in?" Hinata frowned slightly. "Is it related to Orochimaru we encountered?"

“It has nothing to do with us. If I encounter that poisonous snake, I’ll be prepared to kill it. Let’s eat.” Naruto walked to the barbecue grill and handed Hinata a carefully grilled bear paw.

Hinata accepted the bear paw with a happy smile.

"Here, this is for you." Sasuke handed the other bear paw to Xiangling.

"Thank you." Xiangling quickly accepted it and nodded gratefully to Sasuke.

Chapter 52 Let Iruka-sensei treat us then!

After lunch, Naruto took Karin back to the Uchiha residence using the Flying Thunder God Technique. After settling Karin in, they returned to the Forest of Death, and the three of them soon arrived at the central tower.

The three of them weren't far from the central tower, but since they were worried there wouldn't be any lunch inside, they decided to have some barbecue outside before going in.

Upon entering the tower, there is a passage written by three generations of old men directly in front of you.

"I guess this is where the Heaven and Earth Scrolls will be activated." Naruto took out two scrolls, and with a flick of his wrist, the two scrolls opened and fell down.

"A person?" Hinata murmured to herself, looking at the words on the scroll.

"It's just a possession summoning scroll." Naruto, who had been studying sealing techniques for many days, knew what it was after glancing at the patterns on the scroll.

He threw the two scrolls into the open space in front of him, and soon a lot of smoke appeared from the two scrolls. With a bang, a figure appeared in the smoke.

As the smoke cleared, Naruto and the other two opened their eyes slightly. The one inside was Iruka, their homeroom teacher at the Ninja Academy.

"Haha, got a fright, huh!" Iruka saw Naruto and the other two and immediately scratched his head and burst into laughter.
