Chapter 120 - Six Kages Meeting [3] (1/2)
3 Months later, Uzushiogakure.
''Well, Nii-san, Karin... I'll be going to the Land of Iron, you know... Six Kage's Meeting and all. Can you take care of everything while I'm away, Nii-san?'' Naruto said while looking towards Kakashi.
The white-haired man looked at him by the side of his eyes before saying in his usual indifferent manner: ''Fine. You could leave that to your clones but it's ok, you can leave that to the big bro here.''
''Pffft.''
Karin looked towards Kakashi while giving him a weird stare: ''Since when do you talk so 'big bro here'? Did a bug devour your brain or something?''
''...'' Kakashi felt there was no warmth in this world anymore.
Sighing, he looked at them in an annoyed manner before saying: ''Tch, just go already, brat. I'll be taking good care of Uzushiogakure in the meanwhile.''
Turning to Naruto, Karin said while giving him puppy dog eyes: ''Nee nee, Naruto-kun, don't you want to bring me along to the Six Kage's Meeting as your assistant? I promise to behave!''
'Using these eyes against me? Foolish... But I do need someone to come with me, since Nii-san will be taking care of Uzushiogakure, I'll bring Karin.' Naruto thought, the redhead was the closest person to him besides Kakashi, Sasuke and Hinata.
In the two years that passed, Karin had grown quite a bit from her previous small stature. Now she was around 162 centimeters tall and her good ''parts'' had developed well enough.
Her once child-like face m.a.t.u.r.ed very quickly, becoming even more beautiful and delicate compared to before, Karin's hair was long and reached up to her waist. Even Naruto couldn't help but admit that she no longer looked like a brat, patting her head, he said: ''Why not? So, want to go through teleportation or portals?''
Enjoying the warmth of Naruto's hands, Karin said while snuggling close to him: ''Teleportation makes me want to vomit, let's go through portals!''
Naruto didn't reject her approach at all and was given thumbs up by Kakashi. Deadpanning, he opened up a portal as Space started to distort, a black-colored void appeared before their eyes. [A/N: For clearer descriptions, imagine Kaguya's portals.]
''No matter how many times I see this, it's always amazing.'' Karin noted before both of them entered the Portal.
They appeared in a Land full of snow and instantly, Karin felt her body trembling due to the cold. Thinking of this as an opportunity, she quickly hugged Naruto's body and felt his warmness.
Feeling her body on his, Naruto thought while deadpanning: 'I guess that even after these years passed, she's still a huge pervert. Not that I'm complaining, though.'
Naruto got to understand his feelings better than he did before and was conflicted because he liked both Hinata and Karin. He knew that it was selfish but that was just how he is - The blonde youngster had done things much worse than being selfish, after all.
How would he know that Karin and Hinata already had an agreement? The two of them had long understood his conflicting feelings and decided to share their love with him, that way, not only they wouldn't be hurt but Naruto also wouldn't be.
''We're here and you certainly can't be like this inside the Meeting. Take this to warm yourself.'' Naruto said as Karin blushed lightly after being reminded they were going to a serious meeting.
