Just as they were chatting here, the young Hidden Grass Ninja who was the first to retreat from the front line suddenly walked up to Karin and yanked open her sleeve!
"Hmm?"
Kabuto was somewhat puzzled by the action, and he curiously looked at Uchiha Sasuke, hoping to get some answers from him.
However...
Kabuto saw an ominous expression on Uchiha Sasuke's face.
The dark-haired boy's face instantly became so gloomy as if water could drip from it, his eyes unknowingly showed a hint of crimson, his gaze filled with overwhelming murderous intent!
These people couldn't see clearly...
But Uchiha Sasuke had already used the power of his Sharingan to notice the details, he saw bite-shaped scars on Karin's arm!
These scars...
Uchiha Sasuke was well aware of what they meant...
The Hidden Grass Village's ninjas were clearly using Karin as a tool for healing and recovery. They were merely sucking her blood, biting her so often her body bore scars!
The Uzumaki Clan...
Their bodies shouldn't have scars!
How many times did these Hidden Grass Ninjas bite her!
"Those... bastards..."
Uchiha Sasuke's fingers almost involuntarily began to tremble.
What on earth did these bastards take Karin for!
Even in the Root known for its cold-blooded ruthlessness in the real world, everyone knew Karin's blood had a super-healing ability and frightening Chakra recovery, yet no one ever thought of biting her!
No matter how gravely injured the Root Ninjas were on missions, even Uchiha Sasuke was no exception, everyone kept lying in bed waiting for medical treatment, no one ever thought of relying on Karin's blood for healing...
The Karin of the real world...
Never had any wounds.
Uchiha Sasuke remembered that in the real world, he and Karin were the youngest ninjas in the Root, yet the most favored.
Whether it was Akihara Kagura, or those same clan survivors in the Root, before Akihara Kagura's true nature was exposed, everyone indulged the two, especially during the period when Uchiha Sasuke was learning the Flying Thunder God...
Those days...
Were actually quite happy...
Because during that time, Uchiha Sasuke felt a sense of belonging for the first time.
Uchiha Sasuke's heart trembled, his chest suddenly felt as if filled with cold air, those warm times existed only in the real world.
This world...
Could never have that Root.
This world has no Akihara Kagura, nor those surviving clansmen, nor a Karin who grew up happily, and certainly not an Uchiha Sasuke who could find a new life goal, those warmths could never appear in this world.
Karin became a tool for the Hidden Grass Village.
Kabuto lost his most respected foster mother, Yakushi Nonou, even their last meeting ended in mutual slaughter, Yakushi Nonou even didn't recognize him before dying...
The surviving clansmen he has been pursuing in the real world are all dead...
Even Kakashi Hatake and Naruto Uzumaki, the two beloved mentors and friends, are living extremely hard-bitten lives due to the absence of Akihara Kagura...
This world...
This cold and heartless world!
Uchiha Sasuke reminisced about those he was close to in the real world, seemingly all enduring tragic and cruel fates in this world, with no exceptions...
"Here..."
Uchiha Sasuke watched Karin from afar, who was waiting in terror to be bitten and her blood sucked, the Tomoes in his Sharingan slowly rotated into a bizarre shape: "Is this... actually hell?"
Mangekyo Sharingan!
In the next instant!
Uchiha Sasuke's figure suddenly vanished!
Just as the young Hidden Grass ninja yanked down Karin's arm, intending to bite into it, a dark-haired boy's figure suddenly appeared beside Karin, his eyes held a pair of unusually shaped red pupils!
"!!!"
The Hidden Grass Ninja looked frightened at the sudden appearance of the dark-haired boy.
The Hidden Grass Ninja couldn't even discern how the other had appeared, as if he had teleported, suddenly standing beside him!
"Human Path!"
Uchiha Sasuke instantly raised his hand to press down on the Hidden Grass Ninja's head, one of his eyes transformed into the Reincarnation Sharingan, immediately using the Human Path's ability to absorb all memories from the ninja's brain!
In the next instant!
The soul and memories of the Hidden Grass Ninja were extracted by Uchiha Sasuke, the body feebly fell to the ground, unable to move!
In a brief moment...
Uchiha Sasuke had killed a Hidden Grass Ninja.
However, Uchiha Sasuke's mood didn't improve; it had turned even worse. His gaze showed a glimmer of pain and unspeakable anger, he saw Karin's past in the memories of the Hidden Grass Ninja!
What a tragic past it was...
Uchiha Sasuke believed he had endured much agony, yet he never imagined the pain Karin experienced was even greater; he saw in the ninja's memories that Karin's mother was bitten to death...
Then...
It was Karin.
This young girl kept being used as a tool...
"..."
Karin was so frightened by the dark-haired boy's gaze that she sat down on the ground directly.
