Goddess of Ice; Reborn as Narutos Twin Sister

Meeting Karin

As soon as Anko left the Forest of Death, she noticed that a party of three was approaching her.

'The old man is already here, huh. Since he seems to be taking the matter rather seriously, I should do the same, I guess.'

Anko quickly approached Hiruzen and the two ANBU following him and went down on one knee.

"Hokage-sama, I have something important to report."

Hiruzen almost tripped when Anko acted formally in front of him, but he managed to keep his balance and preserve his dignity.

After Anko finished her report, Hiruzen really wanted to start cursing but didn't know who to curse.

"Anko Mitarashi, is everything you just reported true?"

He couldn't help but ask. Three genin and one jonin defeating one of the Sannin was simply too ridiculous. Even if it was four jonin, victory would have still been impossible.

'Just how strong are those three really? Have they finally revealed all their cards or are they hiding even more things? Anko seems to have gotten quite the power boost as well after Yuna removed her seal. Considering not even Jiraiya could remove it I don't even dare to guess what level in sealing Yuna has reached either.'

"Yes, Hokage-sama! Everything I said is true!"

Hiruzen heaved a deep sigh and nodded his head at Anko.

"Very well, go back to your duties as the head examiner of the second test. I will comb through the forest for a while and will head to the middle of the forest, afterward."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Meanwhile, deep inside the Forest of Death, three people were sitting around a campfire. Two young men with black hair and one young girl with red hair and red eyes. While the two men were happily chatting with each other, the girl only sat there in silence, trying to be as small as possible.

This girl's name was Karin, and she would rather be somewhere else right now. The only reason she was taking part in the chunin exams was that she had no other choice but to do so. She could heal people that bit her, something she shared with her mother, and if she didn't go and support the two young men in becoming chunin, her mother would be treated even worse than she already was. She was basically here as an emergency kit for the two men to use whenever they want.

Minutes passed, and just when the two men were about to organize the night watch, Karin felt something approaching. She jumped up and looked in a certain direction with disbelief in her eyes.

Her senses have always been extraordinary, she can not only sense chakra over vast distances, but she can also determine the disposition of the one she was sensing.

What she was sensing now, however, left her whole body shivering in pure terror.

She could only describe it as an ancient beast approaching her. The moment she sensed it, it also sensed her and as soon as it did, Karin knew that this was the last day of her life. There was no escaping it. Death was coming.

Her two so-called teammates, meanwhile, were screaming at her and demanding that she explains the situation to them, but Karin didn't even hear them.

Moments later, it appeared.

Instead of the huge monster, Karin was expecting, a young girl with red and blue hair appeared out of the forest. At first, Karin thought that she made a mistake, when she met eyes with the young girl, however, she knew that she didn't.

'How beautiful, so deep and unfathomable.'

To Karin's surprise, as soon as the young girl saw her, the ancient predator seemed to vanish and instead was replaced by an incredibly warm presence that Karin instinctively wanted to rely on.
