Kusagakure Village.
Natsume had no idea where Karin and her mother were, not even what they looked like.
It was impossible to find them through normal means.
But since Karin and her mother were like walking blood banks, any injured ninja would surely go to them.
So the situation became simple.
Block the way.
At the only path leading into Kusagakure Village.
Natsume, Kakuzu, and Sasori stood right in the middle, looking extremely arrogant.
After a short while, a team of Kusagakure ninja appeared.
"Hey!"
The leading Chunin looked haughty and shouted, "This is Kusagakure Village! Are you blind? How dare you block my way?"
Natsume and Kakuzu didn't react.
Sasori raised his left arm, revealing a cannon.
"???"
The four Kusagakure ninja were completely confused.
Had the times changed?
The next second, the cannon shot out a cylinder.
When it reached above their heads, it turned into a shower of needles.
The cold needles lashed at their faces like a wild downpour of ice - cold rain.
The four of them let out screams and fell to the ground, blood gushing from their exposed skin.
"Get out of here!"
Natsume said, pretending to be tough, "Don't ruin the mood of the three of us."
The four of them scrambled towards Kusagakure Village, trying to escape for their lives.
"Next, just follow them."
Natsume said, looking at their backs.
Although Kakuzu and Sasori thought it was a hassle, the one paying was the boss, so they had to follow.
After the Kusagakure ninja team returned to the village, they didn't hesitate at all and headed straight for a wooden house in the village.
"Quick, let me take a bite!"
The Chunin said impatiently.
Because he had already realized that Sasori's needles were poisoned.
In just a few minutes, half of his body had lost all feeling.
As he said that, he rushed towards a beautiful woman with a pale face.
But he suddenly stopped in his tracks and didn't dare to go any further.
Because he saw Natsume and the others again.
This time, Sasori didn't hold back. His tail, glistening with a cold light, pierced through the Chunin, and blood spurted out.
The remaining three tried to run away but couldn't. They were also impaled one after another.
The beautiful woman was so frightened that her face turned completely pale. Her body trembled as she backed away to the corner.
But she didn't try to escape.
Because there was her newly - born daughter on the bed not far away.
Moreover, judging from Sasori's strength just now, escape was useless.
Now she could only pray that they would spare her.
After all, they had no grudges against each other.
Natsume turned around and his eyes lit up involuntarily.
She was quite beautiful.
Actually, it was obvious from Karin.
Of course, beauty wasn't the most important thing.
Natsume had lived with Tsunade for a long time, so he had developed some immunity to beautiful women.
What impressed him deeply was Karin's mother's temperament.
It could be described in four words: pitifully charming.
With that pale face and fearful, tear - filled eyes, this temperament became even more prominent.
If you considered her background, how tragic her life is!
"Where's your husband?"
Natsume asked, looking at the baby on the bed.
"He's already dead."
The beautiful woman said, her voice trembling.
It's obvious that she wasn't sad. The tremor was due to her fear of Sasori and the others.
It made sense. In Kusagakure Village, how could she have found true love?
"Bring your daughter and come with me."
Natsume didn't ask for her name, mainly because he was worried that if she mentioned "Uzumaki", it would arouse suspicion in Kakuzu and Sasori.
Hearing this, the beautiful woman stood still on the spot, at a loss.
"What? Do you love Kusagakure Village so much?"
Natsume noticed her hesitation and distrust and asked, "You don't want your daughter's future to be the same as yours, do you?"
The beautiful woman's heart skipped a beat.
She had already led an extremely bitter life.
If she stayed in Kusagakure Village, her daughter would also be doomed.
Since life couldn't get any worse, it would be better to follow these three mysterious people. Maybe there would be a turn for the better.
"Someone's coming."
Kakuzu looked up at the door and said, "There are quite a few of them, all ninjas."
The mother - daughter pair of Karin were as useful as medical ninjas, so naturally there were people guarding them outside.
Moreover, this was the core area of Kusagakure Village. Once something happened, it would be easily detected.
"Leave it to you."
Natsume wasn't panicked at all.
These were Kakuzu and Sasori.
We three are really badass!
Unless we encounter someone driving a Gundam, we can basically walk freely in the ninja world.
Come on, Kusagakure Village! You're so lame!
But upon hearing this, the beautiful woman showed a panicked expression, looking extremely pitiful.
But the next moment, she widened her eyes.
Kakuzu kicked the door open with one foot, made hand seals with both hands, and his shoulders twisted as numerous black tentacles emerged.
A mask appeared in the tentacles, followed by a huge fire.
In an instant, except for the wooden house where Natsume and the others were standing, the entire street outside was engulfed in fierce flames.
Many ninjas the beautiful woman had seen before turned into charred remains.
She stood there stunned for a few seconds, then picked up Karin and turned to follow them.
A smart person adapts to circumstances.
If she hesitated any longer, it would be a sign of disrespect for the strength of these three.
Who knows what these guys might do to a helpless widow and her orphaned daughter?
So it's better to be obedient.
Natsume walked on the road.
Kakuzu and Sasori guarded on both sides. Any Kusagakure ninja who got close wouldn't survive for three seconds.
The beautiful woman hugged Karin, shivering, and was praying in her heart.
The four of them and the baby girl successfully left Kusagakure Village.
No ninjas chased after them because Kakuzu and Sasori had killed enough to make them terrified.
One dies, the news is passed on; with the news spread, more come to die.
After a few rounds, the Kusagakure ninjas realized that these three were invincible.
"Do you have a more stable puppet?"
Love Konoha: Starting from Being Adopted by Tsunade. Please bookmark: (m.
Natsume glanced at the still - infant Karin and said, "I can pay an extra 200,000 Ryo."
Sasori's lifeless eyes shifted, and he casually threw out another puppet.
It looked like some kind of reptile.
At least it seemed to be a mount.
Although Sasori wasn't as money - grubbing as Kakuzu, since he had joined the Akatsuki organization, it was necessary to do his part.
Besides, making puppets cost money too.
These things were like anime figurines or Gundam models from the past life. They all cost money.
Why not take the free money?
The beautiful woman looked surprised.
200,000 Ryo wasn't a small amount.
Especially in the poor Kusagakure Village, it was even more valuable.
But Natsume threw out the money without a second thought, which showed how wealthy he was.
"Get on."
After Natsume jumped onto the puppet, he waved to the beautiful woman.
Without hesitation, she climbed onto the puppet's back.
Shutters rose around them, blocking all the sand and wind.
Natsume's eyes lit up.
This is what a service costing two hundred thousand Ryo should be like.
"What's your name?"
"Ena Uzumaki."
After the beautiful woman answered, she asked nervously, "My lord, what're you gonna do with us?"
"Don't worry. I won't treat you like Kusagakure Village did," Natsume waved his hand and said. "You'll know in a couple of days."
Ena Uzumaki didn't dare to ask further and could only wait anxiously for her fate.
She just hoped he was telling the truth.
If she could get away from life in Kusagakure Village, it would be a stroke of good fortune.
A moment later, Karin started crying.
Ena Uzumaki quickly said, "My lord, please don't be angry. My daughter was just born not long ago. She must be hungry now."
Saying this, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she turned her back to Natsume.
Soon, Karin stopped crying, and a faint fragrance wafted through the narrow space.
