"Karin, huh..."
Looking at Karin in front of him, who was about the same age as Fuma Sasami, Yu couldn't help but have a flicker of emotiony feeling sorry for her unfortunate background and experiences. "If you don't have any other relatives, then come with me and leave this place!"
In the anime, Karin encountered Orochimaru after returning to the Grass Ninja Village as a Grass Ninja participant in the Chunin Exams of Konoha. If Yu takes her away now, perhaps he can change her originally troubled fate.
After all, as a descendant of the Six Paths Sage Otsutsuki Hagoromo, ninjas of the Uzumaki Clan possess many abilities that ordinary people cannot reach. And Karin possesses various abilities such as the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, physical healing, and Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"Go... with you?!"
Yu's original proposal was merely an act of kindness, but to his surprise, the girl in front of him, Karin, blushed crimson. The hue on her cheeks almost matched the vibrant color of her hair.
'What should I do, what should I do...'
'He's asking me to go with him, but what if he has ulterior motives? But he's so handsome, it's impossible to refuse him...'
'No, no, if I agree directly, wouldn't it seem too forward? Mom always told me that girls should be reserved...'
Faced with Yu's proposal, Karin, with a flushed face, nervously interlocked her fingers and engaged in a frantic debate with her inner self.
"I mean... what exactly is going on in your little head?!"
Seemingly hearing the inner dialogue of Karin, Yu looked at the neurotic girl in front of him, sweat beads the size of beans forming on his forehead. With a mix of exasperation and amusement, he gently flicked her forehead.
"It hurts..."
After Yu lightly flicked her forehead, Karin couldn't help but cover it with both hands. Despite this, her face displayed a contradictory tsundere expression. "Since you're such a handsome guy, I'll go with you temporarily!"
"Just temporarily?"
Watching Karin's typical tsundere behavior, Yu shook his head with a wry smile. "I didn't expect you to learn the art of speaking ambiguously at such a young age..."
But of course, Yu wouldn't take such a young girl too seriously. He glanced at all the fallen ninjas around.
Except for the Grass Ninja who were already seriously injured and lying there with terrified eyes, all the other ninjas had been taken care of by him.
"Alright, let's go, Haku, Kimimaro."
"Her name is Karin. From now on, you two take care of her on the way."
As soon as Yu's calm voice fell, Karin saw two figures appear in front of them in an instant.
One of them had long black hair with a gentle face and a serene temperament. Compared to Yu, his face lacked a bit of toughness but had an extra touch of gentleness. The other had a stern face with white hair and green eyes, exuding a decisive aura.

One was like snow, and the other like blood. However, both of them shared a common feature: outstanding appearance and temperament. If they walked on the street, they would undoubtedly become the center of attention.
"Another... another handsome guy!!"
Seeing Kimimaro appear, the infatuated girl Karin exaggeratedly covered her mouth, barely holding back from screaming out loud. "I'm... so happy!!"
"Damn it... but why is this girl so much prettier than me!!"
However, as her gaze fell on the fair-skinned, beautiful woman with long black hair wearing a kimono next to Kimimaro, Karin's eyes suddenly became resentful.
"Hmm?"
Seemingly sensing Karin's unusual gaze, the fair-skinned person continued to smile gently but then spoke out a cruel fact, "I'm a man..."
"..."
Hearing Haku's words, Karin's eyes widened as if struck by lightning, unable to imagine what she had just heard. Her expression was as if she had just eaten something repulsive. "A...a man? You're kidding... You look cuter than me..."
"Hahaha!!"
Seeing Karin's defeated expression, Yu couldn't help but chuckle, even making the journey feel much more enjoyable.
...
As the sun was about to set, Yu finally found a bustling town to settle down with his three companions.
Located at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass, as they entered the town, the lively streets were already lit up with lanterns.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!!"
Walking with Yu and the others amidst the bustling streets filled with endless crowds and various new sights, Karin couldn't help but widen her eyes in excitement, sparkling with stars.
"If you like it, I'll buy one for you..."
Seeing that Karin seemed to particularly like a sunny doll-faced mask nearby, Yu casually bought one and placed it on her head.
After all, he still had plenty of cash stored in Kaio's Door Door Fruit's alternate space, and with En Oyashiro, the wealthy merchant, under his Puppetery control, he had no worries about money.
Moreover, during this period, a cute little girl like Karin, who had been wandering with her mother since childhood and had been subjected to inhumane torture even after being taken in by the Grass Ninja Village, had never experienced the innocence and joy she should have had at her age. Not just Yu, but anyone who saw her would feel compassion.
"Are all these wounds on your body... from those Grass Ninja today?"
After settling into a decent hotel, Yu noticed the bite marks and wounds on Karin's body and arms while sitting in the room, causing him to furrow his brow.
"Don't look!!"
Feeling Yu's gaze, Karin, who had been joyful just moments ago, suddenly became like a startled rabbit, frantically covering the bite marks on her arms, as if afraid that Yu would also show a strange and disgusted expression like others.
"Mystical Palm Jutsu!!"
However, Yu remained silent. Watching the startled Karin, he directly employed advanced Medical Ninjutsu, emitting a green Chakra glow from his hands, swiftly healing the bite marks and wounds on Karin's arms.
"This... what is this?!"
Seeing all the bite marks and wounds on her arms instantly healed by Yu's Mystical Palm Jutsu, Karin couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
"From today onwards, I'll teach you Medical Ninjutsu."
Looking at Karin's pleasantly surprised expression, Yu's eyes revealed a hint of gentleness. "Although the unique constitution of the Uzumaki Clan allows you to heal others, from now on, you also need to learn how to heal yourself."
Indeed, while Karin's unique Uzumaki Clan constitution allows for physical healing through biting her own skin to quickly replenish her or others' chakra and injuries, she lacks the precise ability of Medical Ninjutsu to heal the bite marks and wounds on herself.
"Yu-sama..."
Having just healed and repaired all the bite marks and wounds on Karin's body, the stern Kimimaro suddenly approached, respectfully lowering his head, intending to remind Yu of something.
"No need, I already know..."
However, Yu seemed to have already noticed, his amber eyes slightly widened, gazing at the bright moonlight outside the window, his gaze seeming to transform into sharp blades. "You've been following us all the way here since daytime. Have you finally found the opportunity to strike?"
