Bab 147: Do you like him.
Five people were walking at a slow pace; their destination was the Konoha war camp. They had been walking continuously for three days. This group of individuals consisted of Naruto (Ice clone), Sasuke, Karin, Jugo, and Suigetsu.
Suigetsu had a grin on his face; he was the most excited about the war. Holding Kubikiribōchō on his back, he ranted about something sometimes. He was the group's entertainment, the clown of the group, although he didn't know he could die in a single blow if he faced someone powerful.
.
The other one was Jugo; he was the calmest person. Some birds flew onto his shoulder as he caressed them, and he had rarely spoken in these three days.
As for Karin, she was the happiest person in the group. She was finally rescued from Orochimaru, and she had found a family member who was walking ahead of her.
She sometimes tried to talk to him, but she didn't know what to say.
She could talk to anyone, but when it came to Naruto, she felt she couldn't form a single sentence without stuttering. Her mind was in a mess. But one thing was sure; she stole glances from time to time, being careful enough not to alert him.
The second last person was Sasuke, he was the most frustrated person in the group, he had been walking for three days, well this was not the problem, the problem was that they could have traveled this distance in half a day, but his Friend Naruto rejected his idea every time, he says if he goes any faster than this he had to use his chakra and he didn't want to use any chakra.
It was clear to him he was just messing with him.
.
He looked at Naruto and sighed, lately, he had been sighing too much.
And the last person of the group was none other than Naruto himself, his lifespan was only 15 days, and even if he didn't do anything he would shatter.
And if he used any chakra this lifespan would become shorter. 2 days were gone easily when Naruto created him, then he used 5 days' worth of chakra while fighting Obito, and adding that day also he spent 3 more days with the group so 11 days of his lifespan was gone with only 4 days of lifespan remaining.
.
He occasionally checked the conditions of Konoha troops, who had gathered at the borders, and Suna troops had already arrived. With a quick scan, he knew there were only around 10 thousand Konoha troops, and in these troops, 3 thousand were only children below the age of 16.
Around 8 thousand Suna troops were present in the group. These numbers were pitiful in comparison to the three hidden villages and the Zetsu army. With any normal means, there was no way they could win.
"Where is Nagato?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto looked at him with a smile as he raised his hands in defeat, "I don't know where he is."
"You didn't even know his location, so how are we going to call him?" he asked frustratedly.
"Hey! Hey! Don't be so harsh, there is one simple way, you just have to release your chakra, and he will pick up the call," Naruto said with a poker face.
"Do you know every sensor ninja will know our location?" he said.
"Hehe… that's the fun, man…" saying so, he briefly released his chakra with a chuckle. Red chakra was visible to the naked eye, and every sensor ninja in the world picked up his ominous chakra.
Naruto raised his thumb, "Done, it was as simple as that," well, it cost him half a day of chakra.
"You... revealed our location to the whole world."
"So what, are you afraid?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke was trying to remain calm and composed, but Naruto's fox-like grin irked him.
.
He put his hand on his katana, but before he could do anything, Naruto was gone ahead, "let's go," only his laughter remained in their ears.
Sasuke turned around and looked at the remaining people with a dark expression, "Let's go."
They quickly caught up with Naruto; they were going at their full speed.
'I swear, I saw hearts in her eyes for a moment,' Naruto couldn't help but think when he briefly looked at Karin.
Well, this was not his job to handle women, he was just a clone.
.
Soon, they found Nagato and Konan waiting for them on a tree.
"You are here, what took you so long?" he asked Naruto.
All of them looked at Naruto, indicating that this was his fault.
'A clone,' Nagato, with his Rinnegan, could see through him, but he didn't ask.
His eyes wandered through the remaining people, and finally, his eyes settled on Karin.
Both of their eyes met, and from this brief encounter, there was only one thought on their minds, 'Another Uzumaki.'
.
'Why are his eyes so weird?' Karin thought, 'And why is he so powerful?' This was the fourth person she met in a short time whose chakra was off the charts.
Well, she didn't know the name of the Rinnegan, but three of them had it. Sasuke had it, Obito had it in one eye, and now this Uzumaki had these eyes.
'Do all powerful people have these onion-like eyes?'
'If so, I also want one.'
.
She quickly discarded these thoughts and focused on him. He was one of her clan members, and this meant she had another family member.
Now she was not alone; she had two family members.
Nagato also had some similar thoughts as her, 'Now there are only three Uzumaki alive.'
Naruto, looking at them, coughed. "Let me introduce you to each other. Her name is Karin Uzumaki," he said while pointing towards Karin.
'I felt nostalgic doing this.'
He pointed his finger toward Nagato and said, "His name is Nagato Uzumaki. You can call him big brother, clan elder, old man, uncle, Nagato, or anything you want," he said.
"You…." Nagato scowled. He was not even 35; how could he become clan elder and uncle? He looked like he was around 25. He was still young and in his prime, and this brat who isn't even half of his age called him uncle. This was not acceptable.
.
Konan laughed beside him; she was happy in recent days. After meeting Naruto, Nagato had changed so much, and she liked it.
Sasuke had a slight smile on his face; he was not the only one to get trolled by Naruto.
Karin nodded to him; she had gotten used to Naruto in these three days.
"Let's go," Naruto said and took the lead.
After some time, when he looked back, he was surprised to see that Karin was happily chatting with Nagato and Konan as if they were really her big brother and sister.
And when she felt his gaze, she looked down and averted her eyes. A red hue crept over her cheeks.
Naruto shook his head and moved slightly faster; he didn't want to pry into their conversation.
.
Naruto was moving ahead, Sasuke and his team were in the middle, and Konan, Nagato, and Karin were in the rear.
When Konan knew that Naruto couldn't hear them, she asked, "Do you like him?"
"W-what are you talking about?" Karin shuddered. A blush appeared on her face, and she tried to avoid them.
Nagato and Konan found her expressions cute; they looked at her as if they were observing a cute animal and just wanted to tease her.
"Don't be shy, tell me," Konan whispered.
"Ahh– k-kinda, but I don't think he will like me," she said in a low voice only heard by them.
Nagato looked at Karin, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. He really started to consider her as his little sister, 'Poor girl, she had a tough competition,' he thought about that psychopath girl and had chills down his spine.
He didn't know how she would react to someone liking Naruto.
He wouldn't be surprised if she tried to kill this girl. But he couldn't let that happen.
He was wrong in this one; Hinata didn't mind, but there is one other girl who would mind another girl.
"You have to work hard if you want to get him," Konan blurted out. She clicked her tongue; she knew she slipped up.
"What do you mean?" Karin asked, a bad feeling started to rise in her heart.
But before Konan said something, Nagato cut her off, "You don't have to worry about it; I will help you," he said. He didn't want her to become sad.
"Really?" Karin asked with a happy smile.
"Really," he said.
"You are the best," she said.
Nagato felt his heart melt when he looked at her smile. He finally found out what it meant to have a younger sibling. He couldn't let her go with Naruto. He knew it was dangerous; he would bring Karin with him.
'Why am I being so overprotective?' he thought to himself. He had just met her one hour ago, but now he felt like he knew her very well.
Well, he didn't know that it was in their genetics.
