Side Story: The Travels of Fugaku and His Wife 10

Side Story: The Travels of Fugaku and His Wife 10

A towering white building stood before them.

After their journey, during which they had experienced numerous worldview-shattering events and seen people they shouldn't have seen, they had finally arrived at the Konoha Hospital.

Just as everyone thought they were finally fine and were beginning to let out a sigh of relief, they realized they had relaxed too soon…

A portly figure suddenly flew out from the corridor. Judging by his state, he had been sent flying out upside down by someone!

"A mere local noble, and you dare to cause trouble in the Konoha Hospital? Did you not ask who the director of this hospital is before you came?"

A woman with neatly combed red hair and wearing a white coat walked out. She pushed up her glasses, looked down at the person rolling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Someone, send him to the Military Police Force!"

"Enkei, you take him back for strict interrogation…"

Fugaku Uchiha sighed. As the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, this matter had fallen into his lap again. "When I get back tonight, hand me the case report."

"Lord Fugaku! Lady Mikoto!"

The originally domineering red-haired woman, upon seeing Fugaku, suddenly became somewhat shy. "Why are you here? Weren't you going hiking in the Land of Hot Water? If you're not feeling well, just send someone to tell me. I can just go to your house…"

Suigetsu's eyes widened. "…It… it's her! The other Karin!"

"Hey, kid, show some respect!"

An Uchiha punched Suigetsu in the side of the head, then looked at the Director of the Konoha Hospital and said, "We weren't careful on the road and accidentally arrived in another ninja world. We brought back the Lord Itachi of another world, but he is suffering from a serious illness…"

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded in agreement from the side. "I am very interested in his story. Karin, can you cure him?"

"It looks like you've brought back quite a few people…"

Director Karin's gaze seemed to see her other self in the crowd, but faced with the combination of Fugaku, Mikoto, and Kaguya…

Director Karin could only nod helplessly. She looked at Itachi, who was being supported by Kisame, and said softly, "Take him to the emergency room first! Let me check his condition…"

Kisame nodded at her gratefully and quickly helped Itachi follow the nurse to the emergency room…

Just as Director Karin was about to leave, Sasuke Uchiha grabbed her sleeve and looked down at her. "Hey, Karin of this world, you have to save him, no matter what! Understand?"

Fugaku Uchiha: "Wait…"

Mikoto Uchiha: "Don't…"

The rest of the Uchiha: "Yooohooo!"

However, it was already too late!

Director Karin's fist slammed into Sasuke Uchiha's head. His figure shot out horizontally like an arrow, his head slammed into the wall with a thud, and he fainted with his eyes rolled back, without a sound…

The Karin from the other world quickly ran to Sasuke's side. She sensed that his body was not in great danger, and he would probably just have a concussion or something.

She stood up again, looked at Director Karin, and accused, "You guy… why did you hurt Sasuke?"

"Because he's sick in the head?"

Director Karin glanced contemptuously at the Sasuke on the ground, then at her other self, and said coldly, "Are you trying to get revenge for him?"

"I… of course I'm going to get revenge for him!" Karin's face gradually became irritable. When she got angry, she would even hit herself, let alone just another version of herself. "You guy, how dare you hurt Sasuke!"

"Before that, let me remind you…"

Director Karin adjusted her glasses and said in a cold voice, "According to my perception, your chakra intensity is not very high. If you dare to make a move on me, I will make you sick in the head, just like that guy on the ground!"

"And a word of advice, even if you are from another world, as long as you are in Konoha, you must abide by Konoha's rules! Understand?"

It was clearly just a woman who looked exactly like her…

Yet she possessed an aura that made even her tremble with fear…

Karin was intimidated. "…"

An Uchiha beside her drew his ninja sword and stood in front of Director Karin. "If you dare to make a move on Director Karin, we will, in accordance with Lord Hokage's government decree, lock you up in the Military Police Force's prison…"

"But, she hit Sasuke first!"

"Karin, you should go and treat the patient first!"

Fugaku looked at the other world's Karin with an embarrassed expression. "The matter between our Konoha Hospital's Director and Sasuke is… rather complicated…"

"Huh? How is it that complicated?"

Kaguya batted her Byakugan innocently. "I seem to have heard someone mention their matter. Hasn't Sasuke been unable to beat Karin since they were children? I heard he was bullied by her for six years! He was always being sent to the Konoha Hospital…"

"Ahem…"

Uchiha Enkei coughed a few times and whispered from the side, "Ancestor, you found that out at the last clan meeting you attended. Please don't say any more…"

"Oh, I almost forgot. I think Naruto and Tsunade mentioned it too!" Kaguya nodded and, as if no one else was around, found a seat to sit down and rest.

Fugaku Uchiha: "…"

He really couldn't argue about this matter!

What was even more embarrassing was that his younger son, from the time he had entered the academy at six until now, at sixteen, still couldn't beat his red-haired female classmate…

Ten years…

No improvement…

Karin scanned her surroundings and suddenly asked, "That Karin, was she born in Konoha? Was she in the same class as Sasuke?"

"No…"

Neji Hyuga, as a witness to that period of history, shook his head. "More than ten years ago, Lord Itachi brought her back from the Hidden Grass Village and handed her over to Lady Tsunade to be adopted. After she grew up, she became a student at the Ninja Academy."

"Director Karin's childhood was not happy. I heard that her mother in the Hidden Grass, because she was an Uzumaki descendant, was killed by the people of the Grass Village…"

"So the Great Sage Kitahara, in a rage, destroyed the Hidden Grass Village…"

Just as Neji was about to continue his story, a dozen Uchiha suddenly accused him in unison, "Hey, hey, hey! Byakugan brat, I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense!"

"The destruction of the Hidden Grass Village was Orochimaru's doing!"

"Don't believe rumors! Don't spread rumors!"

"…"

Neji stared at this group of Uchiha with his Byakugan wide, then helplessly spread his hands at Karin. "So Director Karin actually had a very hard childhood. It was definitely not like your life. I've seen her. At that time, she was not very strong…"

"…I'm so envious!"

Karin slowly squatted down and began to sob in a low voice. "Someone would go and save her, taking her away from that man-eating ninja village. How fortunate…"

"It's not that bad, is it…"

Neji rubbed his forehead, and helplessly turned to look at the remaining two members of Team Taka. "Have you two ever noticed that your teammate's tear ducts are so low?"

Suigetsu shook his head, completely stunned. "…This woman Karin, she can actually cry?"

"…"

Another one who's off-topic.

Fortunately, there was still one person present who knew the truth. Jugo said in a low voice, "Karin, she was raised in the Hidden Grass Village as a 'healing-bite' tool since she was a child, until Lord Orochimaru met her and rescued her…"

"No one took her away from that man-eating ninja village when she was a child. She grew up in the Hidden Grass and nearly lost her life there…"

"The Karin of your Konoha is truly enviable!"
