Chapter 430: Following
"Am I really one of Uzumaki Clan's people?" Karin was not very confident, or she needed a definite answer, not a guess.
Regarding this point, the original story had given the exact answer, so Aoba nodded with certainty, "There is no mistake, I also came here after I learned a lot of information about you. And I believe in my eyes, you have the blood of Uzumaki Clan flowing in your body, so you are so special."
"If you are willing to follow your mother's surname, then your real name should be Uzumaki."
"Uzumaki... Karin...?"
It was as if she had been heavily hit by something. She first muttered to herself, and then her eyes shone with a strange light.
Although Land of Whirlpools had been destroyed, and although Uzumaki Clan had become history, and only a handful of survivors still continued the name of this clan, she found a sense of belonging from the surname Uzumaki.
Uzumaki Karin. This name made her feel so close and made her heart throb!
This feeling, it couldn't be wrong. She was Uzumaki!
A touch of red suddenly appeared on Karin, it was the aftereffects of excitement.
She couldn't help but ask, "Then, where is the child about my age? What is his name? Does he have red hair like me?"
Aoba smiled and continued to add more branches to the fire while responding to Karin's excitement, "His name is Uzumaki Naruto. He has always lived in Konoha. But I may have to disappoint you. Naruto did not inherit his mother's red hair, but like his father, he has a short golden hair."
Karin was obviously a little disappointed about this, but he still asked expectantly, "Can I go see him?"
"You want to see Naruto?"
"Can I?" Karin nervously used his fingers to roll up the ends of his hair.
Aoba pondered for a moment. He had originally planned to send Karin to the Land of Waves and then slowly train her.
Moreover, if he brought back Konoha, he would have to bear a certain amount of risk.
After all, this head of red hair was too eye-catching. He did not want Sarutobi and the others to know the identity of Karin.
Because there was value in using her, those people did not want her to die just like that. She could only rely on the meager food given to her by the 'charity' to survive.
Otherwise, why was a helpless little girl still alive?
Therefore, she had long understood the principle that the weak had to rely on the strong to survive and show the value of their existence.
On the contrary, she would be eliminated by this world!
Moreover, being an ordinary person was not the life she wanted. What she wanted was to become a true powerhouse one day, and then control her own fate.
This time, she chose to use herself as a bargaining chip against the other party.
Although Aoba was a little surprised, at the same time, she thought that the choice of incense was reasonable.
It had to be known that in the original work, Karin had just been saved by Sasuke once, and then had been dead set on chasing after Sasuke, and had even sided with Orochimaru because of Sasuke.
Even if she was almost killed by Sasuke, she would have no regrets.
This kind of persistence could be said to be stupid, but it was also very reassuring, and there was no need to worry that Karin would betray him at all.
It didn't matter if he was a little weaker now. In fact, it was only a matter of time before he rose up. What he valued the most was his dedication to Karin.
As for Sasuke, he could only say sorry.
In any case, the storyline had already become a mess. Presumably, the future Sasuke would no longer defect to Konoha, so he did not need these helpers of the 'Team Takka'.
Moreover, this could not be considered as ruining Sasuke's marriage. After all, until the end, Sasuke did not accept Karin. Instead, he chose Sakura and had a child together. Then, naturally, there was no such thing as demolishing.
At the same time, Aoba also believed that under his intervention, this lifetime of Karin could obtain a faster growth and a better ending.
There were clearly so many choices, so why did he have to be a licking dog?
Late at night, under the care of Aoba, Karin once again fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps she dreamed of something happy, causing the corners of the mouth of the incense to slightly curl up, and then a few drops of tears streaked across the corners of her eyes.
