Chapter 75: Ch.75 Eye Transplant!
"Hidden Grass Village..."
Uchiha Shinji frowned.
He recalled Iruka mentioning that Mizuki had been nearby when Karin was attacked, and he had analyzed that Orochimaru might be involved behind the scenes.
Karin continued, "It was the Grass Village that arranged for me to come to the Hidden Leaf. Last time, they forced me to distract the Anbu who were protecting the Hidden Leaf's Jinchuriki."
"Why did they do that? What's their goal?"
Karin shook her head, "I don't know their true intentions. They didn't tell me much. They just arranged for me to run into a man named Jiraiya. He seemed to have some connection to the Uzumaki clan and, seeing that I was alone, he brought me back to the Hidden Leaf."
Jiraiya brought you back to the Hidden Leaf?
Shinji was a little surprised but, after thinking it over, he couldn't help but admire the cleverness of the plan.
The Fourth Hokage's wife was from the Uzumaki clan, and on the night of the Nine-Tails attack, Jiraiya didn't make it back to the village in time to save the Fourth Hokage and his wife. He must have regretted it deeply.
For him to encounter another orphan from the Uzumaki clan afterward would naturally stir feelings of sympathy.
And with Jiraiya's endorsement, the village's suspicion of Karin would be greatly reduced.
