This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill

Chapter 429: Maybe I'm Really Your Uncle

By the time she woke up, it was already night time.

The fire in front of her and the fragrance of the fire made her confused brain wake up in an instant!

"You're awake? Come over and eat something."

Karin quickly looked over and found that the person sitting next to the fire was roasting meat and fish, this was someone she did not know at all.

He was young and handsome. With just a glance, she felt her heart start to beat faster.

However, she suddenly realized that where was the middle-aged uncle? Why did he suddenly change to another person?

Could it be that she had been sold again?

Karin's mood instantly fell. She did not speak, nor did she eat. She just stared blankly at the flames.

She had never thought of escaping, because in this unknown forest, it was basically impossible for her, who had no fighting strength, to run out alive, and even if she ran out, what could she do?

Just as incense was feeling confused about her future, a grilled fish suddenly appeared in front of her.

"You fainted from hunger before, so you should eat some grilled fish to fill your stomach. There is a lot of meat. When you are full, I will tell you something and give you a few choices." Aoba tried to lower her voice as much as possible to avoid scaring the other party.

However, when he saw Karin looking at him with fear and hesitation, Aoba seemed to know where the problem was, so he showed a very helpless expression.

Transformation Technique!

"If this can make you feel more at ease."

Aoba directly changed into the appearance of the middle-aged man Karin had seen before, and then said.

"So it's just a Transformation Technique. I should have thought of it a long time ago. How could you be my uncle?" Karin asked.

Although her family had been destroyed, at least for now, the other party had no ill intentions towards her.

"That might not be the case. There is a child about your age who is my little brother. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of you should be of the same race. So, you might really have to call me uncle."

"Do you know about my family background?" Karin asked.

"Didn't anyone tell you?"

Karin shook her head and looked sad. "Mom died a few years ago, and she never told me this."

Aoba tried hard to recall. It seemed that Karin did not know her family name all the time. It was not until the final battle, when Hashirama, who was resurrected by the Edo Tensei, saw her, that he confirmed that she was Uzumaki Clan's survivor.

When Karin's mother died, she did not reveal this secret. She was probably worried that the surname Uzumaki would bring an unexpected disaster to Karin. After all, Uzumaki Clan had already been exterminated. Hiding her name was the safest way.

Aoba almost guessed Karin's mother's good intentions.

However, due to the special nature of Karin, she was destined to not become an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Aoba could not help but rub Karin's messy red hair. With a sincere smile, he said, "Eat something first. I'll tell you everything you want to know later."

It was the first time anyone had touched her head so gently except her mother.

Karin suddenly blushed a little, then lowered her head and ate the grilled fish.

So fragrant...

Karin's eyes immediately lit up, and then she sped up her eating.

Perhaps because she felt that she was a little too rude, she stopped in the middle and secretly looked up at Aoba. She found that the other party's expression did not change at all. After a warm smile, she continued to eat the grilled fish in her hand with a sour nose.

As she ate and ate, while tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Although the future Karin was a person who had a relatively hot personality, stubborn, and spoke rudely, and was very direct toward others 'likes and dislikes, she was a 'tomboy'.

But before she developed such a personality, Karin. was just a sensitive, timid, and unconfident little girl.

At such a young age, she had already faced the malice of this world towards her. Especially after losing her only reliance, everyone regarded her as a 'tool'. This was the first time that she felt warmth from 'stranger'.

Aoba naturally noticed this, but he pretended not to know, because sometimes crying would make someone's heart feel better.

And comforting might not be effective, especially when the two of them were not so familiar with each other. Moreover, Karin was very sensitive.

Therefore, he chose to turn a blind eye to it.

Sure enough, after crying out, it felt much more comfortable. Then, she felt even more hungry.

Uzumaki Clan's appetite was not small to begin with, and adding Karin, she was malnourished for a long time. She was short and thin, and she had never eat a grilled fish.

Fortunately, Aoba was more perceptive at this time, so he silently handed over another grilled fish, and then began to eat.

This method that did not give her too much pressure finally made her relax.

Thus, the following process was very quiet. Every time Karin finished eating the food in her hands, Aoba would give some of the roasted fish or meat to her in a timely manner, not saying a word.

Only when Karin was finally full and burped did he remove the seal and sweep away the rest of the food like a whirlwind.

He conveniently added some wood into the fire pile. Aoba pondered for a moment and said, "Have you heard of Land of Whirlpools?"

Karin shook her head, but her eyes lit up. She had a hunch that the mystery of her mother's past would soon be uncovered.

Aoba did not find it strange. She just explained the situation according to what he knew. "In the southeast direction of Land of Fire, there was a country near the sea. It was called Land of Whirlpools. This country was built by Uzumaki Clan, and Uzumaki Clan's characteristics were red hair, shocking chakra volume, extraordinary physique, and very good at sealing techniques."

In Aoba's explanation, Karin gradually showed a nervous expression, and her hands clenched tightly.

When she heard that Land of Whirlpools had been destroyed and that Uzumaki Clan had become a part of history, and that only a few survivors had escaped, her eyes immediately revealed an extremely sad expression.

It turned out that she was the child born by Uzumaki Clan survivors. No wonder her mother never mentioned her surname.

But what about her father?

Where was the father she had never seen since she was born?

Was he killed by his enemy or abandoned their mother and daughter to escape?

Why had she never had a surname?

Was it because her father was also Uzumaki Clan's man?

Or was it because the man who abandoned them was not worthy of letting the child take his surname?

Karin felt her head was in a mess for a moment, and her eyes were very confused.
