Chapter 145: Chapter 144: Scrolls
"Karin has a signature move called Mind's Eye of the Kagura, which is one of the abilities of the Uzumaki Clan. When she starts sensing, any abnormal movements within a radius of tens of kilometers can't escape her perception. Besides, if she has locked onto someone's chakra, she can also sense the specific direction and location."
"I see."
It made sense. If she didn't have some skills, how could she have caught Sasuke's eye?
"So we can't compete with this woman in terms of sensing ability. Let's change to something else."
"Ah~ If you're scared, I'll change to something else."
Although Karin said so, she secretly thought to herself that it must be Orochimaru who had told Sasuke about her abilities in advance.
Otherwise, he couldn't have known so clearly.
Karin glanced around with her beautiful eyes and saw Suigetsu standing beside her, looking uninterested. His conversation with Sasuke just now had dealt him a heavy blow, and he was a bit listless.
"Right, how about we play a game!"
She walked to a cabinet beside her and pulled open the drawer. There were 12 scrolls in the drawer.
"This is a game I came up with based on the Heavenly and Earthly Scrolls in the Konoha Chunin Exams. There are 12 scrolls in this drawer. I'll hide the scrolls in different places. If you can collect all 12 scrolls within an hour, I'll agree to your request. Also, this game is quite difficult, so you can all participate. How about it? Isn't this a fair way to play?"
She had really suffered a lot in the Chunin Exams. Otherwise, she wouldn't have joined Orochimaru later. Now it would be really interesting to use the questions from the Konoha Chunin Exams to trouble the Konoha ninjas.
"Oh, right. During the game, you can't use genjutsu on me or harm anyone or anything in this base. Once I find out, the game will be invalidated immediately."
"Hey, don't be so over the top! It's a crazy idea to ask us to find 12 scrolls in such a big base."
Tayuya retorted indignantly. She had just wanted to use genjutsu to control this woman and make her immediately tell the location of the scrolls, but this sudden rule had disrupted her plan.
"Idiot. My rival is that Uchiha who is famous for his genjutsu. It's natural to be careful."
"You..."
"Alright! The game will start in 30 minutes."
Seeing Sasuke agree without hesitation, Karin let out a whistle and praised him.
"Oh~ You're really confident in yourself. Don't blame me for not warning you to be careful. If you lose, you'll have to stay here obediently until you repair the base for me."
"Yeah, don't worry. I always keep my promises."
"Well, then, see you later, everyone~"
Karin burst into laughter, then wiggled around and swaggered off, leaving the others grinding their teeth in anger.
"Sasuke, are we really going to be okay? Although we have more people, looking for such small scrolls in such a big place is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's practically mission-impossible!"
"Yeah, we don't have any sensor ninjas here. If we had the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan from Konoha, it would be a piece of cake to find things."
Kidōmaru clasped his fists. Even now, he still occasionally recalls the scene of his battle with Neji Hyūga that day.
The terror and power of the Byakugan left a deep impression on him. Although he found Neji Hyūga's weakness during the match, Neji clearly knew his own shortcomings better. He knew early on that Kidōmaru would target his blind spot and set up a bait there from the start, waiting for him to take the bait.
The Hyuga Clan is truly formidable.

Sasuke remained silent in a low - voice. To be honest, he couldn't think of a way to find 12 small scrolls quickly in this large base.
But it didn't matter. Who said he had the Sharingan? Although he promised Karin not to use it, when it comes to a critical moment, he can just delete the memory of using it from Karin's mind. Then everything will be fine.
Sasuke, who had prepared a backup plan for himself, clearly wasn't worried about this match. It was just a pity for the other ninjas, who were like ants on a hot griddle.
"Suigetsu, you're better at scouting here. When the match starts, turn into a liquid and expand your form as much as possible. Search every corner of this base for the scrolls."
"Eh?! This mission sounds so tough. You're just giving it to me alone?"
"Who says you're good at it?"
Sakon and Ukon flanked Suigetsu, slung their arms around his shoulders, and smiled brightly.
Before, Sasuke was so powerful that he took down Sakon and Ukon in one move. They haven't seen Suigetsu's strength. Now is the best chance for Suigetsu to show his stuff.
If he shows his strength well, he can naturally fit into the new environment. But if his strength is lacking, he might quickly be marginalized.
"Ah! So annoying. I got it! But don't just let me do all the work. You guys should also think of other ways!"
"Oh, don't worry. I'll also summon my spiders and have them spread out in every corner to look for the scrolls."
"Tsk, the Summoning Jutsu? What a convenient ability!"
Suigetsu looked at Kidōmaru enviously. This was when the benefits of the Summoning Jutsu were shown. Kidōmaru could just order his Summoned Beasts to do the work, while he himself had to go into action personally.
"It's about to start. Let's disperse and meet back here in 50 minutes. No problem, right!"
"Got it!"
..............
Sasuke strolled around the base, observing. Rays of sunlight shone through the gaps. The base, which was riddled with holes by Kimimaro in Sage Transformation, looked rather romantic for a moment.
Just like that, he wandered around for over 50 minutes before heading back slowly. When he arrived, everyone except him was already sitting in the living room where they had split up.
"You guys are so fast!"
"Of course. With my strength, finding a few scrolls is a piece of cake!"
Suigetsu was so proud that his tail seemed to be wagging in the air.
"How many Scrolls did you find?"
"Hehe, six Scrolls. I found half of them all by myself!"
As he said this, he felt his pupils getting a bit moist. During the search, Suigetsu, in a liquid state, desperately searched every corner of the base.
He encountered cockroaches and mice on the way, which almost made him sick. Fortunately, his efforts did not disappoint.
"Sasuke, I've also found 4 scrolls," Kidōmaru said, handing the scrolls he found to Sasuke. There were still two scrolls short.
"I used [Sage Mode] to enhance my sensing abilities and found one scroll," someone said.
There was still one scroll left.
