Guys, I wrote a little story hehehe in fact I have several things in my head about the blank period between the end of the classic and the beginning of Shippuden that I want to write and this is one of them.
So enjoy reading guys, sorry if it's a little bad... I wrote it in my mother language and I didn't have the energy to translate it so I used the translation.
Just as night approached, Karin could feel the chakra of those men on her trail.
- How far away are they? - Sasuke panted with every step he took
- 5 meters and getting closer.
- Let’s split up then, take the parchment and…
- You know that's impossible, I'm not trained in combat.
- Are there any sensory ninjas among them?
- Just a moment - Karin closed her eyes and invoked the tiger seal to open her mind - yes, but they are regular... it is possible to foil them... We need to find water to wash away our smell.
- Take the scroll, in case we don't make it.
The redhead wasn't sure what they were doing, but one thing she was sure of, that wound would be a hindrance... Sasuke would be captured, if not, he would waste away from blood loss.
- Sasuke, if this injury continues like this...
Sasuke invoked chidori, and on impulse, cauterized the wound - now come on, everything is fine - That's what he said, but still, his face was clearly tense.
- Now it's 3 meters, let's go - Karin started in front, however the situation became worrying every 5 minutes.
Sasuke couldn't keep up and the shinobis' pace increased, they knew about the injury and wanted to take advantage of this moment of weakness... Now it was 2 meters.
- Sasuke, let's not con - the distance that separated them from the enemy was shortened by several kunais cutting the air wherever they passed - damn, those are...
Chakra lines closed their path on the horizon and at the speed they were going, stopping was the only option to avoid falling into the trap, as they descended from the tops Karin and Sasuke found themselves trapped by several lines, tangled like a sticky web. Trying to go up, it didn't matter anymore.
- So my jutsu really managed to pierce you boy - a smile echoed through the trees - you played so tough that I wasn't sure if I had hit you. - more 02 others appeared - now come on, give us the scroll and we can reconsider and not kill you.
Karin took a step back and felt comfort when her back met Sasuke's, yet panic wouldn't let her head work, they had already made clones to triple the scroll, that wouldn't work anymore, trying to escape through the lines would be dangerous, they could be captured easily, Sasuke is out of strength and his chakra is hanging by a thread and she would never be able to defend herself and protect him at the same time... Well, it seems I have no choice anymore - she thought to herself.
- Sasuke, bite me - She screamed
That gesture impressed her enemies, made them stop to understand such an act, an advantage she hadn't counted on.
It didn't take long for the ninjas to walk towards them again and the moment need action, he couldn't think about anything else. Sasuke turned around, removed the red strands that covered Karin's white skin and sank his teeth into her neck, at that same moment he understood what was happening.
He felt his chakra being restored, the sharp pain in his abdomen disappeared as if he had never been hit, and even though it was not 100% recharged, it was enough to release chidori needles to ward off the enemy, however, now it was Karin who was without strength.
- Damn, I imagined this could happen - Sasuke knelt down and put her in his arms, used his remaining strength to run out of the tangle of lines and lose whoever those shinobi were. - Can you tell me how far we are?
- Far enough. Go a little further, there is a river nearby.
- To get rid of our scent, we're far enough away that they can't track our chakra and I hope none of them have any special doujutsu.
Little by little it was possible to hear the river flowing, clear and comforting water... it was the sign that they were now safe.
- You can let me go, I'm better now - Karin put her feet on the ground, still taking crooked steps, walked towards the river while removing everything from her body that could be ruined by the water.
They both entered and fully emerged into the river that ran against their bodies. Upon immersing herself, Karin felt refreshed, the cold water sharpened her senses and relieved the tension from the bite wounds.
- You could have said before - Sasuke cut the silence - about your healing ability.
- It's not an ability - Karin looked into the boy's eyes - a genetic potential, that's what Orochimaru-sama said - even without her glasses she noticed the confusion on his face.
- I wasn't born with it, but from what they explained to me, my chakra has special properties... Orochimaru-sama managed to transform my skin and make my chakra adaptable.
- Well, that doesn't answer my question.
- It's something new and well... it's not pleasant at all... - she looked away - they made several tests - Karin took her hand to her left arm as she felt it numb, almost like a trauma hidden in her skin.
Sasuke read the situation, he knows Orochimaru and his experiments, but it hadn't crossed his mind that Karin was one of the specimens he collects, however Orochimaru wouldn't help an orphan without having something to gain in return, so who is this person? How strong is she? What is her story…?
