Karin, with her arm extended, wore an expression of heroic self-sacrifice.
She resembled a girl driven mad by a pervert stalking her, wanting the pervert to get it over with quickly and then leave her alone forever.
And the pervert, as she wished, indeed bit her without a word.
Since he didn't have a self-healing physique, Naruto had never bitten himself before. This was the first time he had used this method to replenish chakra.
The moment he bit down, he could feel chakra pouring into his body, dispelling his fatigue. The taste was a bit fishy, but with careful savoring, there was also a hint of sweetness. It must be the taste of blood.
Overall, this sip of sister-juice had a fragrant entry and a sweet aftertaste. It was a quality product.
Jiraiya, watching the scene before him, couldn't help but recall his former students: one with golden hair, one with red hair, and listening to their love stories while eating at Minato's house, laughing with them. He asked Karin, "Little girl, has anyone ever told you your red hair is beautiful?"
Karin shifted backward, her gaze wary. "Old pervert, what do you mean?"
This old pervert praising her beauty definitely had ulterior motives!
Jiraiya: "..."
Which bastard spread such a terrible rumor about me?!
After silencing Jiraiya, Karin asked Naruto again, "Hey, are you done yet?"
She felt as though her chakra was flowing into a bottomless pit. All of it was being sucked away.
"Ugh..." Biting Karin, Naruto couldn't speak. His right hand reached out for sand, smoothed it out, and used his finger to write: Not yet.
"If this continues, I'll be sucked dry!" Karin complained loudly.
The loud voice was meant to conceal the fear in her heart. This was a small island. Once she became exhausted, there was also an old pervert nearby. That scenario... she didn't dare think about it.
Naruto wrote on the sand, reassuring her.
This was the third time he had told Karin to relax. It was a small trick: using a word repeatedly would create psychological cues, lowering one's guard.
After writing, Naruto suddenly became playful and wrote: Why don't you suck it back? Then, he offered the arm Sasuke had bitten.
He and Karin were both capable of replenishing chakra. What would happen if they bit each other?
Perpetual motion? Circulation? Or a short circuit?
"You said it!" Karin was unapologetic and bit Naruto.
Jiraiya, who was watching Karin and Naruto's fluid exchange.avi from start to finish, was also speechless.
How is this kid's brain wired? Were Minato and Kushina really his parents? What did he inherit?
Soon, Naruto got his answer.
Both of them had Karin's chakra, and the quality was the same. It didn't circulate but acted like water in a u-shaped tube, with both ends leveling out.
Therefore, their current chakra levels were basically equal.
However, Naruto's chakra recovered faster than Karin's, and he was gradually adding pressure, pushing the chakra towards Karin's side.
Naruto also estimated Karin's total chakra volume, about thirty-seven or thirty-eight units.
Seems like not that much...
Withdrawing his hand and releasing his bite, both wiped their mouths.
Naruto returned to normal, and Jiraiya relaxed his guard. After sitting down, he took out a small sake cup. "Let's begin. I don't know what your subsequent plans are, but if it doesn't succeed, I advise you to give up."
He didn't want Naruto to excessively pursue this unnatural talent. Everyone he knew who pursued this kind of power ultimately went astray.
However, he was only reminding him based on past events. He understood Naruto. Judging from his past behavior, this kid didn't excessively obsess over power. He was just a bit overly fixated on taijutsu.
Jiraiya didn't object to this. No matter what, it was always good to exercise.
Naruto waved his hand. "I..."
Hearing that beginning, Jiraiya, who was reminiscing about the past, suddenly threw his sake cup.
"Clang." Catching the cup aimed at his mouth, he threw it back and asked, "Lewd old man, what do you mean?"
"You shut up!" Jiraiya caught the returning cup. "Also, it's Sage! Sage!"
If you didn't always call me that, that little girl wouldn't be so wary of me.
"Lewd Sage," Naruto muttered quietly, then sat on the ground and mobilized the Karin chakra in his body, following the method he had previously researched.
At first, there was no reaction. After ten minutes, there was a change, and Naruto suddenly shuddered.
"It's here! My Love Stronger Than Gold Seven-Day Lock!"
Hearing this long and awkward jutsu name, Jiraiya nearly crushed his sake cup. So, you only inherited Minato's talent for naming things?
"Clang-clang-clang..."
Orange-yellow, almost golden, chains surged from Naruto's body, shooting towards the sky above. Everything seemed normal, but after the chains extended a few meters, the section behind suddenly began to change color.
Naruto was dumbfounded. This thing... also changes color?
In his moment of confusion, the chains instantly turned blue.
From a distance, it looked like a golden chain with a blue chain attached at the end, like it had been broken and then welded back together.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo..." It was his first time using it, and it consumed an exorbitant amount of chakra. Plus, Naruto hadn't recovered much chakra during the experiment. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, after using it for less than a dozen seconds.
The blue section of the chain slowly retreated into his body, while the golden section dissipated into chakra.
Karin was heartbroken.
Sitting cross-legged in a cultivation posture, Naruto began to refine chakra.
The natural rate of chakra recovery was slow. To obtain a large amount of chakra in a short time, he still had to rely on refinement.
Before he had recovered even half of it, Naruto tried to release the chains again, following the same feeling as before. But minutes passed, and nothing happened.
"That's not right..." Naruto scratched his head.
Logically speaking, if he could use it once, he should be able to use it a second time. Why couldn't he use it now?
Did this skill malfunction again?
Hmm? Why did I say "again"?
Naruto looked down and pulled up a blade of grass, pondering the reason. Finally, he said to Karin, "Come on, let me suck it again."
He had a hunch, not sure if it was right, but he needed to experiment.
"What will you trade?" Karin said.
The previous time was to make amends. This time would be a transaction.
"Say it. What do you want? Don't be too difficult," Naruto asked.
As a person who had received a good education, he didn't like forcing people to do things. He preferred this kind of negotiated transaction.
Like the time with Yakumo: I'll help you exorcise the ghosts; you give me the piano.
Karin pushed up her glasses, trying to conceal the excitement in her heart. The thought of what she wanted made her a little giddy.
Leaning close to Naruto, her back to Jiraiya, she whispered, "Can you get Sasuke to wear..."
Naruto wore an of course expression. This woman was fine in every way, except for her temper. But whenever she encountered Sasuke, she transformed into a crazed stalker, collecting all kinds of things Sasuke had used.
In the original story, she stole Sasuke's clothes, even his toothbrush. But she stole the wrong one; it was Suigetsu's.
Knowing this, Naruto still couldn't help but say, "You're a pervert, aren't you?"
Karin shoved him, retracting her hentai expression, and said fiercely, "Urusai! A woman's feelings... How can they be... Measured..."
Her voice grew smaller.
Then, she put her hands on her hips. "So, will you trade or not?"
"Trade," Naruto replied. It was just a shirt. Besides, I'm not the one losing out. Why wouldn't I trade?
Sasuke had plenty at home anyway.
Having gotten his answer, Karin extended her arm. "Then come on. Don't forget to compensate me afterward."
In the end, after eight trades with Karin, Naruto finally verified his conjecture.
Perhaps because his lineage was impure, he couldn't independently release Adamantine Chains. Each time he used it, he needed Karin's chakra to lead the way. No matter how many chains, the leading section had to be Karin's.
It was like an old-fashioned tractor. Each time it started, it needed to be cranked. Karin's chakra was the crank.
Or like a car's spark plug.
However, it wasn't as though Naruto couldn't learn it. With each use, the Karin chakra he needed grew less and less. Perhaps he could release it independently in the future.
Karin was overjoyed with this result. Before Naruto could use it independently, he would need her each time. In that case, she would be able to get more of Sasuke's things... Just thinking about it made her tremble with excitement.
Patting Naruto's arm, Karin said, "Use this jutsu more often in the future."
She wasn't afraid of being bitten, because... she was used to it.
Jiraiya wasn't surprised at all. Naruto's jutsus were never normal. He was used to it too.
Naruto scratched the back of his head. Emmm, I've emptied Sasuke's house in Konoha. He shouldn't mind, right...
