(Tsunade's POV)
-The third fight, Inuzuka Kiba, from Konohagakure, and Uzumaki Karin from Otogakure. - From the loudspeaker in the room, Orochimaru's voice caught Tsunade's attention.
Tsunade looked surprised, staring at Karin on the field.
-Uzumaki? Where did Orochimaru get that little girl from?- Tsunade frowned, worried.
In Tsunade's opinion, whether it was Jugo releasing the wood or the appearance of an Uzumaki, it was all the work of Orochimaru.
Sure, Jugo probably became stronger than Orochimaru to the point that Orochimaru chose to follow him, but knowing Orochimaru, Tsunade doubts he was truly loyal to Jugo.
In any case, Tsunade still broke the cup of sake, for a moment she wanted to go over there and bring the little girl back to Konoha.
-Tsunade-sama. - Shizune quickly grabbed her arm, she had spent enough time with Tsunade to read her with the palm of her hand.
Whether it was Tsunade's slightly flushed face or the way she broke the glass, Shizune knew it meant trouble. Although alcohol didn't affect Tsunade much when she didn't want it to, even a little drunk was enough to cause her to act recklessly and dangerously.
-Shizune, let me go.- Tsunade complained.
-Tsunade-sama, this is Otogakure. If you act now, it will not only be like declaring war, but also declaring war within enemy territory.- Kakashi quickly realized the problem, speaking hurriedly.
-Uzumaki?- Naruto asked, confused and curious. -Is she also called Uzumaki?
For a moment, the three froze, looking at Naruto with different expressions.
Kakashi glanced vacantly at a red-haired figure yelling at him, Obito, and Rin.
Shizune thought about how Naruto grew up without a family, he seemed a lot like her, but at least she had Tsunade-sama.
Tsunade looked at Naruto, blinking slightly. Tsunade never said this, but it was in these few moments that she remembered that this blond brat was also a distant relative.
The lack of red hair didn't help, she rarely associated it with the Uzumaki clan. Well, she couldn't say much, she was blonde too, even though her grandmother was an Uzumaki.
Tsunade sighed lightly, Karin's red hair momentarily threw her off balance. Whether it was her grandmother or Kushina, Tsunade seemed to have seen both in Karin. But then she remembered, this child is very young, she had never been to Uzushiogakure and probably barely knew about her heritage.
Shaking her head, Tsunade sat down again, ignoring the group, picking up another glass and filling it with sake.
Naruto was still looking at the redhead with interest, he didn't know if it was because he wanted to see Kiba get beaten up, but deep down he wanted the redhead to win.

(Karin's POV)
Karin frowned at the deafening noise of the crowd, she took a deep breath, trying to ignore it and focusing only on the main box where Jugo-sama was.
She clenched her fists, excited, but outwardly she still seemed indifferent.
His harsh gaze made Kiba swallow hard and Akamaru whimper softly.
As soon as the fight began, Karin moved like lightning, before Kiba or Akamaru could react, Karin's fist was already hitting the ground, her curse mark opening up completely in the first stage.
Whether it was Tsunade or Sakura, both of them widened their eyes and stood up as soon as they saw that movement.
-Haaaaaaaa! - Karin screamed as she gathered a tremendous amount of chakra in her fist, the next moment, Karin's fist struck the ground with force, releasing all that chakra in a fraction of a second.
BOOOOM~
The entire coliseum trembled fiercely, Orochimaru had already jumped away when he saw Karin's movement.
In the center of the field, a gigantic crater formed shortly after the collision.
The earth cracked open and was thrown into the air, along with Kiba and Akamaru, screaming.
Just as Akamaru and Kiba were trying to get their bearings, dozens of chakra chains surged toward them in an instant. It was only a moment, but it was enough, Kiba and Akamaru were trapped, their chakra sealed.
Karin's figure fell lightly into the center of the crater, her chains still clinging to her victims, her curse mark is rapidly receding.
Karin smiled, feeling extremely excited. As the dust slowly settled, the audience finally saw her standing in the crater area, arms crossed, with Kiba and Akamaru trapped inside.
Karin went all out, ready to finish this as quickly as possible, she wanted to be the best! Only she was worthy of being number one, and she wanted Jugo-sama to finally take her as his woman!
The enormous cracks nearly reached the coliseum, poised to cause a complete collapse, but Jugo's wooden clones were quick to stabilize the ground, preventing the coliseum from crumbling.
Jugo's lips trembled, even Guren felt that Karin had gone a little too far. She had asked to demonstrate Oto's power, not to kill the entire audience.
Even so, the audience had no idea that they were about to be buried alive, instead, they shouted excitedly.
Whether it's Karin or Suigetsu, these students of the leader of Otogakure, each one is a bigger monster than the other!
Karin ignored the audience, she still needed to make Kiba give up quickly. Looking at the chained dog, she tightened the chain, and Akamaru screamed in pain.
-Akamaru!- Kiba shouted worriedly. -Damn it! That wretched redhead! Let go of Akamaru!
Karin looked at him and said. -Give up.
Kiba gritted his teeth, but Karin wasn't in the mood to play, instead, she tightened her grip even more. Akamaru's cries of pain made Kiba's eyes widen with worry. He couldn't even mobilize his chakra now. He couldn't hesitate any longer, he had no doubt that this madwoman would crush Akamaru to death.
Kiba would rather be killed than let Akamaru get hurt in front of him.
-Stop! I give up! I give up!- Kiba shouted quickly.
Karin smiled, overjoyed. She let go of the pair and turned to leave, her chains dissolving in the air, her steps light and precise. She rehearsed how she would walk when she won, as if she were saying to the world: "Look! This is the power of Jugo-sama! I am his weapon!"
