Chapter 362: Ch.363 Confrontation
The core of Uchiha Shinji's orders to Karin was to test her mastery over the newly fused Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
And combat was the ultimate proving ground!
So, after escaping the village, Karin didn't continue to flee. Instead, she chose a strategically open forest to engage the pursuing Hidden Leaf shinobi in battle.
Her earlier clash with Yakumo's Wood Release was merely an appetizer.
Having reached the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan stage, the burden of activating 'Susanoo' was significantly reduced. For Karin, a member of the Uzumaki clan renowned for their vast chakra reserves and vitality, this was easily manageable. Even for an Uchiha like Shinji, it was sustainable.
For Karin, who had transplanted White Zetsu cells and inherited the Sage Body traits of both the Uzumaki and Senju clans, the burden was even lighter.
In reality.
Karin still wasn't using her full strength. The hundred-meter-tall 'Susanoo' was neither its complete form nor her limit.
"My lord only asked me to test my abilities, not to unleash a massacre. And with Sasuke down there, I should be cautious!"
With her resolve set, Karin's gaze sharpened, and she truly unleashed the complete form of 'Susanoo.'
Swish.
