Chapter 19: Ch.19 Opportunity!
In the small forest.
Swish swish
Accompanied by the sound of rushing wind, the two ANBU responsible for protecting Naruto and Sasuke quickly arrived at the site of the explosion in the forest.
At the center of the explosion.
Karin, covered in dust and dirt, sat dumbfounded on the ground, her eyes vacant.
Next to her lay a Leaf shinobi, covered in blood and seemingly gravely injured.
The two ANBU shinobi cautiously observed the surroundings before stepping forward to ask Karin, "What happened?"
Karin pointed in a direction and said, "Someone suddenly attacked me. Luckily, Mizuki-sensei was nearby. He fought off the attacker, but Mizuki-sensei was injured. The person ran off that way!"
The two ANBU shinobi immediately realized the gravity of the situation.
Karin was registered with the ANBU—every ANBU knew that this red-haired girl was one of the two last survivor of the Uzumaki Clan.
Someone had attempted to kidnap the last of the Uzumaki Clan within the village!
