Chapter 86: Ch.86 Escape
It took Uchiha Shinji a long time to finally calm the woman down.
Not only had her body been severely abused, but her mind was also on the verge of collapse. Her only emotional support seemed to be the set of clothes she tightly held, which belonged to Karin.
So, Shinji had to be careful not to push her too hard, or it might backfire.
Once the woman's emotions had settled a bit, he quietly activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, putting her into a deep sleep.
"Sigh..."
Shinji let out a sigh.
Given the woman's current physical condition, there was no way she could survive long enough for Karin to complete her mission and return to Hidden Grass. This alone showed that Hidden Grass had never considered her or Karin as one of their own. They had no intention of letting them live.
Clearly, Hidden Grass plan was to use Karin's mother to control Karin and have her complete her mission. Once Karin successfully stole the Nine-Tails, they would extract it from her and ensure that she, as a defected jinchūriki from the Hidden Leaf, would quietly disappear.
That way, Hidden Grass would obtain the Nine-Tails without ever having to confront the Hidden Leaf directly.
The only loss for Hidden Grass would be the lives of two outsiders.
Shinji felt a strong urge to activate Susanoo Tomoshibi and wreak havoc in Hidden Grass, turning the place upside down and punishing these despicable people.
