𝐑𝐄:𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇

𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃 it was easy life?

It wasn't.

Karin wiped off a drop of sweat from her brow, gritting her teeth in exhaustion. As soon as her mother had died, just as she expected, Zōsui came to the house, dragging her to the hospital.

 Of course, she had no choice but to offer her smooth skin to the dying men, so as to not seem suspicious. Luckily, the red diamond on her forehead informed her of her new power.

-

Two hours later, she was back in her small home, waiting for Zosui. 

He would definitely come, if not to offer fake condolences, but also to hand her a hitai ate that signified her as a genin. The only benefit she got from her sacrifices. 

An immediate approval as a genin because of her ability, and also the fact that there was no need for her to go to the Kusagakure ninja academy. 

And just as she expected, there was a knock at her wooden door.

She opened it immediately, and without hesitation, she punched her arm through the man's stomach, surrounding her fist with red chakra for extra smooth travel through his organs. 

Zōsui fell forward onto her floor, and Karin kicked his body in disgust. "As ugly as ever, old man." She commented. 

Then, studying his features carefully, she quickly created a shadow clone identical to the now dead man, and sent it to his home to erase suspicion. People would see him, and then question his disappearance after. 

And when Karin healed the man's body enough to fill the hole in his stomach, and strip him of his shirt to get rid of the rip, she dumped him into the close by river to be washed up the next morning.

Perfect.

But she knew she couldn't get too cocky. There were still many steps and many events that would still have to happen, and Karin had to use every bit of her power, ability, and skill to survive them, with style.

-

"Holy shit." Karin hissed under her breath, as she and her teammates leaped through the branches of the tall trees in the Forest of Death. Konoha seemed bright, but it had its own scary places, that was for sure.

But her teammates...were as weak as shit. Even shit could affect somebody with its disgusting smell, but her fellow genin were so useless, they were like the Haruno Sakura of Naruto's team.

Except she had two of them. 

So Karin sighed, and gestured for the two to stop. She told them of a plan--she would knock them both out, place them into seal scrolls, and bring them to the tower by herself.

They looked at each other, and ultimately agreed, deciding that if they lost, at least they wouldn't have had to do any work.

So now, Karin had two less idiots that dragged her leg, and could operate freely and faster.

She leapt to the ground, raising an eyebrow as she sensed a huge bear lumbering straight towards her.

Karin raised her hand, surrounding it with red chakra like when she killed Zōsui, and when the animal came right in front of her, she bitch slapped its stomach so that it flew sideways and slammed into several trees.

Grinning in triumph, she cracked her neck and let out a chuckle. "Come out, Uchiha Sasuke."
