Two weeks later – after making a stop to the Land of Waves to get Kubikiribocho – they made it t the next base where they came face to face with non-other than the red-headed Karin. She was waiting for them, a frown on her lips.
"What are you doing here?" Karin questioned, looking at the ragtag group wearily, not showing her surprise at spotting a baby amongst the group. She had heard rumours about Miyako having a child, and it appeared that those rumours were true.
"I'm hunting down Itachi. I want you to join me," Sasuke stated bluntly.
"Why should I? I have to guard the prisoners here for Orochimaru-sama," Karin replied, and Sasuke closed his eyes in annoyance.
"Sasuke killed Orochimaru," Miyako stated, surprised Karin. "Suigetsu, can you release the prisoners, please?"
"For you? Anything," Suigetsu replied with a wink to Miyako before walking pass Karin and into the base to do as requested.
"Bee that as it may be, I won't come," Karin replied stubbornly to Miyako and Sasuke.
"OK. I'll just get someone else then," Sasuke replied and turned to walk away, only to have Karin get flustered.
"Okay, okay. If you want me that badly, I'll come," Karin replied, flashing him a flirtatious wink, making Miyako giggle as Suigetsu returned.
"If she doesn't want to come, we should get going," Suigetsu stated, rubbing the back of his neck with a yawn.
"She's changed her mind," Miyako stated with a smirk directed to Karin.
"T-that's not it! I just happen to be going in the same direction as you lot," Karin stated, flustered at having been caught out by Miyako. "At least, for the moment."
"We will stay here the night, and then make our way to the Northern Hideout to get the final member of the team," Sasuke ordered, and the group nodded, going their separate ways. Karin to pack, Suigetsu to get someone to eat, and Sasuke and Miyako to find a room to rest in for the night.

The next day, the group started to make their way to the Northern Hideout when Karin asked the first question. "Who are we collecting this time?"
"His name is Jūgo. I'm sure you've heard of him," Miyako replied as they walked through the forest.
Karin nodded in affirmation. "Everyone who works for Orochimaru-sama has."
"I haven't," Suigetsu stated.
"Anyone worth something to Orochimaru-sama has," Karin snapped.
"Sooo, who is he?" Suigetsu questioned.
"Jūgo was probably Orochimaru's most important experiment. He gave him the means to create the cursed seals," Miyako explained simply.
Suigetsu whistled in amazement. "Damn. And here I though Sasuke was Orochimaru's golden child."
Miyako laughed as they arrived at the Northern Hideout after arriving at a rocky, mountainous area. They entered the hideout, only to be surrounded by a group of curse infected prisoners.
"None of these are Jūgo," Karin stated simply, crossing her arms over her chest in annoyance.
"Incapacitate them then. Don't kill them," Sasuke ordered as he and Suigetsu worked together to attack the experiments, whilst Miyako stayed in the shadows with Ainu so as to not draw any attention to them.
