Chapter 303 Karin, who wants to follow justice!
"Have the nobles in the capital been completely wiped out by that killing god?"
In Kusagakure, a ninja listened to the intelligence sent back from the capital and couldn't help but shudder.
"Not only the nobles, but also the samurai and ninjas—not a single one escaped!"
"According to the intelligence we've gathered, that tree in the capital city shows no signs of withering; corpses hang beneath it, a sight that fills one with dread!"
Another ninja from the Grass Village sighed and said, "There are still good people in the Grass Village, although their numbers may not be many."
After all, Kusagakure follows the law of the jungle. If you don't want to be used as cannon fodder by those strong people, you can only become ruthless or assimilate into the style of Kusagakure.
Many ninjas from Kusagakure had already left a day earlier. Those who remained either harbored wishful thinking or genuinely believed that they had never committed any heinous crimes in their lives.
"Judging by the time, that god of death should be arriving at our Kusagakure village around now."
Another grass ninja spoke softly, his eyes filled with trepidation, clearly unsure whether he himself had committed any sins in the first half of his life.
While the grass ninja were talking about Uchiha Izumi, they didn't notice that there was a small, thin girl eavesdropping nearby.
Or rather, they noticed, but they no longer wanted to bully the little girl.
"God of Slaughter—"
"The God of Slaughter who slaughtered all the nobles, daimyo, and ninjas of the capital of the Land of Grass—"
"A killing god who makes those despicable grass ninjas slink away at the mere mention of his name!"
Karin Uzumaki, who was about the same age as Naruto Uzumaki, listened to the conversation of the grass ninja with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
She was released yesterday, or rather, since yesterday, almost no one in the entire Kusagakure village has paid any attention to her. Based on the information she gathered that day, she also learned the reason for the changes that had occurred in Kusagakure village.
It is said that a god of death named Uchiha Ikezumi came to Konoha Village in the Land of Fire. Whenever that god of death sees an evil person, no matter how strong you are, you will only face death when you encounter him.
However, the remaining ninja said that as long as they hadn't done anything wrong, they didn't need to worry about dying.
This aroused Karin's intense curiosity about Izumi Uchiha, since Karin knew very well that she was able to gain her freedom largely because of Izumi Uchiha.
Karin Uzumaki dared not escape for the time being, fearing that if she left the village, she would encounter the grass ninja who had also left.
"Ikezumi, Kusagakure is just ahead, meow!"
On Uchiha Izumi's shoulder, Tachibana Jiro looked at the distant Kusagakure village. Although he hadn't entered it yet, Tachibana Jiro felt that there didn't seem to be many people in the village.
"Kusa ninja, evacuate—"
Uchiha Ikezumi frowned. He could see that the number of red names inside the Hidden Grass Village was pitifully small!
To be honest, Uchiha Ikezumi didn't expect these ninjas from the Land of Grass to be so weak.
He, a ninja from another village, has come to their doorstep, and not only do they not fight back, they actually abandon the village and leave.
"So, do we still need to go into Kusagakure?"
Although Tachibana Jiro didn't know how Uchiha Ikezumi could have seen the Grass Ninja's retreat from outside the village, he trusted Ikezumi.
"Go in; there are still a few survivors in this village."
"Or rather, they think they've hidden it very well!"
Uchiha Ikezumi sneered. After traveling around the Land of Grass these past few days, he had come to understand the characteristics of the Grass Ninja. In order to survive, some of these Grass Ninja had fled back to the towns that he had already cleaned up.
It was only because there were still some brave souls in those towns who risked their lives to deliver messages to him; otherwise, Uchiha Ikezumi wouldn't have noticed how difficult these grass ninjas were to kill.
As Uchiha Ikezumi entered Kusagakure, the Kusagakure ninja who remained there all turned their gazes toward him.
Among them, of course, is Karin Uzumaki.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Uchiha Ikezumi didn't utter a single word. As trees rose from the ground, the lucky grass ninja were pierced through by the branches with almost no power to resist.
Uchiha Izumi is too strong now, so strong that even a casual ninjutsu is beyond the resistance of ordinary ninjas.
With the Tenseigan already at its second stage, the entire Kusagakure village held absolutely no secrets from Uchiha Izumi!
"My lord! I want to follow you!"
Just after Uchiha Ikezumi wiped out all the ninjas from Kusagakure, Uzumaki Karin, who was in the crowd, could no longer hold back. She rushed out of the crowd and shouted in a trembling voice at Uchiha Ikezumi, who had already turned around.
"Huh? There are actually people in Kusagakure who want to follow Ikezumi, meow!"
Tachibana Jiro twisted his chubby body and looked over at Uzumaki Karin, who was curiously observing the little girl.
"My lord, I am not a ninja from Kusagakure. I... I am from the Uzumaki clan. My lord is from Konoha, and we Uzumaki clan were once allies!"
"For the sake of the bond between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan, please allow me to follow you, sir!"
Karin Uzumaki didn't know where she got the courage, but at this moment she was staring intently at the figures of the person and the cat. She knew that she was from the Uzumaki clan and had heard her mother talk about the connection between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha.
She didn't want to be used as a walking blood bag anymore; she wanted to live, to live as a human being!
If Uchiha Izumi hadn't appeared, Karin Uzumaki didn't know how long it would have taken her to escape the fate of being a walking blood bank for Kusagakure. She watched helplessly as her mother's chakra was drained and she died. She wanted to live!
She knew very well that it was Uchiha Ikezumi who saved her, even though Uchiha Ikezumi didn't come to save her on purpose.
But at this moment, Karin Uzumaki only wanted to follow Izumi Uchiha!
"Go to Konoha."
"If you can get to Konoha, then we can talk about other things!"
Uchiha Ikezumi shook his head. He still had to continue clearing out the ninjas in the Land of Grass and find out where they had escaped to. He didn't have time to take care of another child.
"My lord! I know where those grass ninja went!"
"Take me with you, take me with you! I can give you directions!"
After hearing what Uchiha Ikezumi said, Karin's eyes dimmed, but the next moment she seemed to remember something and shouted loudly at Uchiha Ikezumi's back.
She didn't understand Uchiha Ikezumi's thoughts, but she knew that Uchiha Ikezumi was definitely hunting down those evil Grass Ninja.
Unfortunately, the grass ninjas made no attempt to hide their presence from Karin Uzumaki before leaving. One ninja even used Karin to replenish his chakra and recover from his injuries before departing, inadvertently revealing their destination.
"Tachibana Jiro, take her with you."
Uchiha Ikezumi had already guessed Uzumaki Karin's identity. Considering that she was willing to help justice, Uchiha Ikezumi felt that taking care of another little girl was not a big deal.
