"Ugh—" A Chunin from Kusagakure Village spat out blood, with three Shurikens embedded in his chest. He had suffered a fatal injury and would die if he didn't receive effective treatment.
He would die if he didn't receive treatment. There was a woman right in front of him who could heal him. All he had to do was take a bite out of her, and no matter how severe his injury was, he would recover.
"Let me take a bite!" The Kusagakure Chunin used his last bit of strength to grab Karin's arm and opened his mouth to bite.
"Get out of here!" Karin finally snapped. She shouted inwardly, "I used to be afraid of you because you were powerful. Now that you're about to die, you still dare to be so arrogant and demand something from me."
Karin grabbed a Konoha Village Forehead Protector and stabbed it directly into the Kusagakure Chunin's mouth.
The Kusagakure Chunin was caught off guard. Just before he died, he bit down with all his might, and his two rows of teeth sank directly into the Konoha Forehead Protector.
These Forehead Protectors were made of extremely hard materials. If one were to bite on a Forehead Protector with their mouth, their teeth would easily break.
Just before he died, the Kusagakure Chunin heard the sound of his two rows of oga shattering.
Naruto walked over, comforting Karin. Looking at the dead Kusagakure Chunin, he thought this guy had paid the price he deserved.
Naruto took out a Kunai, pried open the dead man's mouth, took out the Konoha Forehead Protector, wiped off the blood, and handed it back to Karin, saying, "You did a great job. From now on, Konoha's Forehead Protectors will protect you."
Just then, several teeth dropped out of the Kusagakure Chunin's mouth. He had bitten Karin many times, but now his teeth had been shattered by the Konoha Forehead Protector.
Naruto struck a haughty pose and led the weak Karin out of the courtyard. Facing more than twenty Genin from Kusagakure Village alone, he shouted, "Listen up! I, Naruto Uzumaki, did this today. I'm also the one who killed the Kusagakure Chunin."
At this moment, the Kusagakure Genin were grinding their teeth in hatred. One of them threatened, "We'll report this to the Third Hokage and let him handle it fairly. If you don't give a reasonable compensation, the friendship between Kusagakure and Konoha is over!"
"This so - called friendship is false. We don't need it at all." Naruto said fiercely, "Get out of here right now! If you're slow, I'll knock out every single one of your teeth."
Naruto hit them hard, not only giving them black - and - blue faces but also making each of them lose a few teeth. They used those teeth to bite Karin, and this is their punishment.
Under Naruto's intimidation, the more than twenty Kusagakure Genin fled in a hurry.
Gamasu, who was hiding in the shadows, became somewhat interested in Naruto after observing all this. Then, white smoke billowed from his body and he disappeared.
After this incident, Naruto recalled an old event that was somewhat similar, the Konoha Hyuga incident.
Many years ago, Konoha Village had concluded a peace treaty with Kumogakure Village. That day happened to be Hinata's birthday.
Kumogakure claimed to be there to conclude a peace treaty, but in fact, they lusted after the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan. Kumogakure secretly sent ninjas to kidnap Hinata to uncover the secrets of the Byakugan.
Fortunately, Hiashi Hyuga discovered them in time, intercepted and killed the Kumogakure ninjas who were trying to kidnap Hinata, and rescued Hinata.
Recalling this, Naruto got angry. How dare someone have designs on Hinata, his wife! Fortunately, the matter turned out to be more frightening than dangerous.
The subsequent development of the Hyuga incident took a turn for the worse. Konoha was eager to seek peace. For the sake of the overall situation, it had to sacrifice individuals to stabilize the situation.
After Hiashi Hyuga intercepted and killed a Kumogakure ninja, Kumogakure Village played the victim card. They not only refused to admit to kidnapping Hinata but also accused the Hyuga clan of murdering a ninja from their village and demanded that the culprit be handed over for punishment.
Kumogakure Village also threatened that if Konoha didn't hand over the culprit, the peace treaty couldn't be signed and the war would continue.
Eager to end the war, Konoha had no choice but to hand over a member of the Hyuga clan then. In the end, Neji's father sacrificed himself bravely.
Neji's father is Hizashi Hyuga. Since he voluntarily sacrificed his life, the peace treaty was finally signed, and the long - standing war between Konoha and Kumogakure came to an end.
"Naruto, what are you thinking about?" Karin asked.
Karin's voice snapped Naruto out of his memories and back to reality. Naruto smiled confidently and said, "Your clothes are stained with blood. Let me take you to buy new ones."
Naruto thought to himself: I deliberately let the Kusagakure ninjas go so that they could go and report me to the Third Hokage. I just want to see what the current Hokage is thinking... Will the Hokage sacrifice me for the friendship between the two villages? I'm curious to see how the Third Hokage will choose...
In the following time, Naruto took Karin back to the Commercial Street in Konoha Village and bought new clothes for her.
After that, Naruto took Karin to a rocky mountainous area. The terrain was uneven, and the path was very difficult to walk on.
"Naruto," Karin asked curiously, "What are you taking me here for?"
"To meet a handsome guy," Naruto said. "He's my best friend, but he's in some trouble now, and only you, Karin, can help him."
"I'll be very grateful if you're willing to help him."
"I knew you weren't being so kind," Karin said angrily. "You saved me just to offer me up as a blood bank for someone."
"I've decided that from today on, I, Karin, will live for myself and won't let anyone suck my blood." Karin thought to herself: Except for Naruto...
"But he's a really handsome guy, though."
"No matter how handsome he is, I definitely won't let him suck my blood. Humph," Karin said firmly.
Then, guided by Naruto, Karin finally stood in front of Sasuke. As soon as she saw Sasuke, Karin stared at him intently.
Sasuke looked at Naruto and then at Karin, sizing them up. He didn't know Karin, but he noticed something strange about Naruto.
Karin's eyes popped. The handsome guy in front of her really tickled her fancy. Her heart fluttered as she thought: Besides letting Naruto suck my blood, it wouldn't be so bad if he did too...
Lightning Release! Chidori! A large amount of lightning - type chakra gathered in Sasuke's left hand, and countless electric currents surged from his palm, accompanied by the sound of birdsong.
Naruto was extremely surprised and shouted, "It's impossible!"
Sasuke dashed forward at full speed, but when he was halfway there, the lightning - type chakra in his left hand suddenly dissipated and vanished completely.
"Tch."
Seeing that his Chidori attack failed, Sasuke had no choice but to draw his Kunai and stab directly at Naruto.
Naruto yelled, "Sasuke! What the heck are you doing! I'm Naruto!" At this moment, Naruto was really freaked out. He thought to himself, "Could it be that Sasuke has found out I betrayed him to Orochimaru?"
Sasuke held the Kunai right in front of Naruto's face and said, "You're not Naruto. Naruto always wears the Konoha Forehead Protector on his head, but you're not wearing one."
"..." Naruto was rendered speechless. As expected of Sasuke with the Sharingan, he always observed things so meticulously.
"Sasuke, you're wrong. I really am Naruto," Naruto said smugly.
Meanwhile, Sasuke looked flustered because there were two Shadow Clones of Naruto behind him, also pressing Kunai against Sasuke's back.
Kakashi walked over and said, "Naruto, what are you doing here? Didn't I assign Ebisu to teach you?"
