Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Kimimaro's Anger
Karin pouted, folded her arms across her chest, raised her haughty chin, and looked down at Tayuya.
"You......."
Tayuya was momentarily speechless, wondering how there could be such a shameless person in the world. This woman named Karin really had refreshed his perception of how shameless a person could be.
Didn't she even notice Sasuke looking utterly speechless?
...........
Sasuke raised his eyebrows and looked at the two chattering women in exasperation. When would this meaningless talk ever end?
Unable to stand it anymore, Sasuke stepped forward. His beautifully slanted eyes made Karin's cheeks flush.
"What... what are you going to do?"
"Karin, stop making trouble. I'm serious. I really need your power."
"Tsk~"
Suigetsu, standing aside, spoilt the mood by opening his mouth, squinting his eyes in annoyance.
This guy attacked him right off the bat with Kusanagi Sword and Lightning Release, showing no mercy.
But when it came to women, he started to coax them gently. Isn't that a bit too double - standard?
............
"Ah~ Sasuke, you're really a womanizer. Since you're recruiting people, why don't you give this woman a good beating too?"
"Suigetsu, cut the boring jokes. You need to understand the cause - and - effect relationship first. I beat you because you tried to escape from the base, so I took action."
"Karin is one of the leaders of the Southern Base. I have no reason to attack her."
"Huh? Aren't you trying to get her to join you? If this woman refuses, you won't beat her either?"
Suigetsu's voice suddenly rose. This was just too much.
"No. Even with you, if we could have a calm conversation, I wouldn't attack you rashly. It was because you gambled with me and I won the bet that you're here."
Suigetsu looked at Sasuke, seeing that his face remained calm without a trace of guilt. This guy's face had become incredibly thick.
"So, Karin, even if you're not willing, I won't force you. But I still think it's a pity for you to only be a base leader with your abilities."
Sasuke pulled out his signature move of painting a rosy picture since his rebirth, sincerely and patiently persuading her.
But aside from blushing when they made eye contact just now, Karin didn't seem interested in what Sasuke was saying.
"I think you have some misunderstanding about me. I came from the Grass Country to seek refuge with Lord Orochimaru because I didn't want to be at the mercy of others anymore. I've had enough of the tough days in the past. Now, under Lord Orochimaru's protection, I'm the leader of the Southern Base and I'm doing well. Why should I help you? Just because you're handsome?"
Karin looked up and admitted that he was her type, but that still wasn't a reason for her to join Sasuke.
Sasuke was slightly taken aback. Why was the plot different from his past life? He remembered that Karin had also refused at first, but eventually agreed. Could it be that because they didn't know each other now, she was on guard against him?
"Well, that's such a pity."
Sasuke heaved a sigh of regret. In life, not everything could go as one wished. It was normal to face some bumps. Since she was unwilling, he decided to let it go.
"Let's go."
Seeing Sasuke's departing figure, Suigetsu exclaimed in disbelief.
"What? We're leaving just like that?"
Kimimaro's beautiful eyes fixed. He saw the regret in Sasuke's eyes and stared coldly at Karin in front of him.
"Bang!"
Kimimaro activated his Sage Mode. The spines all over his body pierced through the entire Southern Base at an astonishing speed.
Now, from the outside, the base looked like a blooming white chrysanthemum.
"Hey! You're one of Lord Orochimaru's subordinates, right? What are you doing?"
Karin shuddered at the sight of the bones passing by her. If they were just a little off, she would have been turned into a human pincushion.
"Kimimaro, what are you doing?"
Orochimaru was annoyed to see his well - managed base riddled with holes.
With a sharp look in his eyes, he glared at the young boy in front of him, expecting a reasonable explanation.
Kimimaro retracted his bones but kept his Sage Mode activated. He met Orochimaru's gaze directly and replied respectfully.
"Lord Orochimaru, you told me to act according to Sasuke - sama's wishes. This woman wants to be in charge of the Southern Base, right? Now that the base is gone, she can give up and follow us obediently."
Karin took an involuntary step back, staring at Kimimaro in horror as if he were a monster.
What kind of person was he? He destroyed an entire base just for this.
"Kimimaro!"
Sasuke's angry voice came.
"Don't worry, Sasuke. I didn't hurt anyone in this base. I just gave this woman a little warning not to be ungrateful."
A little warning? Come on! Did he know how much manpower, materials, and money it would cost to rebuild a new base?
"You... You bastard!"
Karin screamed angrily, as if she wanted to rush up and hit him, but she cowered and dared not step forward.
"Let's play a game. If you win, I'll help you restore this base. If you lose, you have to follow Sasuke obediently!"
Kimimaro's murderous look made Karin tremble, but then she thought for a moment. This was indeed the best chance to turn the tables.
Otherwise, if these people just left, leaving her with a devastated Southern Base, how could she develop this place later?
"Okay, but I have a condition. I get to decide the event of this match."
"Sure."
Hearing Kimimaro's straightforward answer, a faint smile appeared on Karin's lips. Just as she was about to announce the content of the match, a cold voice interrupted her.
"Wait a minute. You can have a match, but it can't be a Sensor - related one. As you can see, there are no Sensor - type Ninjas here. It would be unfair to us if we had to compete with you in this regard."
Kimimaro looked up at Sasuke in confusion. Apparently, Sage Mode can enhance a Ninja's Sensor ability. He wondered why Sasuke insisted on removing the Sensor ability for this woman's match.
Could it be that her Sensor ability was even better than his and Sasuke's in Sage Mode?
"A disappointed click of the tongue sound came. Seeing Karin's dissatisfied look, Kimimaro knew he'd guessed right. In that case, the strength of this woman in front of him was indeed worthy of the team Sasuke wanted to form.
