Chapter 388 The Cursed Samurai is a Ghost? Time to Reveal the Secrets
"Damn it! I was planning to take this mission to get closer to Ishikawa-kun, how did it turn out like this!" Karin followed behind Chishima and complained as she looked around at the streets under the cover of night.
"So, you're saying we three girls are actually going to deal with ghosts? Ishikawa-senpai is going too far! He disappeared after entering the Bird Country, saying he was secretly protecting us..." Ino chimed in, then suddenly looked away, "By the way, Karin, what did you mean by 'going a step further' earlier?"
Good grief, she thought she was being quite bold and proactive with Sasuke! But Karin is even more aggressive!!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If she hadn't met Sasuke first, with Ishikawa's genius and handsome face, she might have tried to steal him from Karin too...
"Karin, you're so brave!" Hinata whispered, twirling her fingers in admiration.
Just thinking about this is so embarrassing, I never expected Karin to say it so loudly. She would never have said such a thing even if she were beaten to death!
But I'm really envious...
"Uh, it's not really like what you guys think. I'm still quite reserved, hehehe..." Karin scratched her head, chuckled, and waved her hand. Actually, she was just venting her frustration.
Otherwise, how come I haven't had the chance to express my love yet after all this time?
"Quick, the cursed warrior has appeared again..."
Just as the three women were chattering away and Chishima looked like he had a splitting headache, a voice suddenly rang out, causing the four of them to change their expressions drastically.
"A cursed samurai??" Karin said subconsciously, and then she saw a white-clad samurai wearing armor and a demon mask appear in mid-air in front of her.
"Yes, the cursed samurai is the ghost I was talking about. Your mission target is him." Chishima gritted his teeth as he looked at the white-clad samurai floating in mid-air, confirming it. This caused Karin, Ino, and Hinata to widen their beautiful eyes and turn pale.
A ghost has arrived!
"Uh, why aren't you three up here? Do you expect me, the client, to go by myself?" Chishima urged them with a dark face as he looked at the three women, Karin and Karin, who were pale.
Are these three guys really ninjas?
"Hmph, I don't need you to remind me." Karin, being a Chunin, was the first to react and immediately turned to Hinata. "Hinata, use your Byakugan to see what that thing is?"
Hinata instantly understood, immediately forming hand seals with veins bulging at the corners of her eyes, "Byakugan - Awaken..."
The next second, Hinata's face turned even paler, and cold sweat poured down her forehead. "Empty? The armor is empty, there's no sign of a living person inside!"
"What?!"
Instantly, Karin and Ino both screamed in alarm, especially when they saw many arrows piercing through the bodies of the cursed samurai. They felt a chill run down their spines and an unprecedented coldness shot straight to the top of their heads.
A ghost! It's a real ghost!!
"Damn it, so what if he's a real ghost? Ishikawa-kun is watching from the shadows. I can't let him down." Suddenly, Karin thought of something and gritted her teeth, shouting to encourage herself.
The next second, Karin shot out like a cannonball from the ground with a tap of her feet. "Hinata and Ino, you two cooperate to intercept him. I'll seal that guy."
"Karin, you're so brave!" Hinata exclaimed instinctively upon seeing this. Ino nodded in agreement. "Is this love? No, we can't lose to her either."
Even though the person she likes isn't by her side, she doesn't want to be looked down upon! If word gets out, how will she ever face anyone again?
"Okay." Hinata nodded in response, and immediately followed Ino to flank and block them from both sides.
She, too, yearns for true courage!
Meanwhile, as Ino and Hinata were moving, Karin unleashed her ultimate attack, shouting, "Damn ghost, behold my power! Sealing Seal: Adamantine Lock..."
Without holding back, a golden chakra chain shot out from Karin's chest, heading straight for the cursed samurai. Its speed was like a shooting star.
Almost instantly, the cursed samurai was bound in mid-air by chakra chains!
"Great, we caught him!!"
"It's a ninja, a ninja master from Konoha."
"Lord Chishima is back! That wretched cursed samurai is finished!"
Upon seeing this, the samurai shooting arrows below cheered and jumped for joy, while Karin's red lips curled into a confident smile.
So what if he's a ghost? He's still countered by her sealing technique. Next, all we need to do is use the Four Symbols Sealing Technique to completely seal the cursed warrior, and this mission will be over!
The thought of her quickly completing the mission and then having time to go to Ishikawa to boast about her achievements made Karin eager to retrieve the chakra chains and drag the cursed samurai.
But just then, "Bang..."
Suddenly, the cursed warrior in mid-air shattered with a loud bang, causing Karin's expression to change drastically as if struck by lightning.
Did they escape?
"Idiot, what you grabbed isn't the real thing at all." A hundred meters away, Ishikawa leaned against a tree trunk, watching everything unfold and shaking his head helplessly.
The so-called ghost floating in mid-air was actually just a specially made puppet, and the real imposter, Daimyo, did not appear after seeing Karin and the others.
"But what's wrong with that guy?" Ishikawa's left eye flashed crimson as he watched the retreating rogue ninja disappear into the shadows and instantly gave chase.
"Wait, this chakra is..." Almost at the same time as Ishikawa left, Karin, unwilling to give up, activated Kagura's Mind's Eye and her expression changed slightly.
The armor dropped by the cursed samurai contained traces of chakra? How could a ghost possess chakra?
"What's wrong, Karin?" Ino appeared in a flash and asked worriedly when she saw Karin's pale face.
"We'll talk about it later!" Karin didn't say much, but instead formed hand seals and unleashed her full power to use Kagura's Mind Eye to sense the chakra feedback within a radius of fifty miles.
"One, two, three..." Karin kept muttering to herself, then quickly stopped making hand seals and looked dejected. "I can't find that chakra. Although the number of ninjas in the Land of Birds is more than I imagined, there are 12 of them, but there is no chakra like the Cursed Samurai among them."
"The same chakra as the cursed samurai? Karin, you mean..." Ino immediately understood and was overjoyed, the gloom in her heart instantly dissipating.
As long as the enemy is a ninja instead of a ghost, there's nothing to be afraid of!
"But why does the Land of Birds have ninjas? There aren't any ninja villages here, are there?" Hinata asked, puzzled, as she followed closely behind.
Karin suddenly realized what was happening and immediately turned to look at the client, Chishima, who was rushing over. "I sensed 12 ninjas nearby, including some Jonin. Did you hire other ninjas?"
"Ninjas! Where are they??"
Chishima's expression changed drastically as he anxiously pressed for an answer: How could there be ninjas in their Bird Country besides samurai?
Could it be that the ninjas hired by Minister Akira are preparing to overthrow the current daimyo?
