32 Passed & Karin gaining power
After arrived at the tower's entrance, Issei introduced Furuichi and Karin to each other.
"By the way senpai." -Furuichi
"Hmm?" -Issei
"How do we explain to the examiner about our group become 4 people right now?" -Furuichi
"Well, let's make others unable to see Karin then. We may need to stay in this tower for 5 more days before we can go back to our house." Issei also asked Karin to gave him an Earth scroll that was with her.
Lucoa then cast invisible magic on Karin, she put the condition that only her group could see Karin without any problem, while the others couldn't until she allowed them or she canceled this magic herself.
After that, their group entered the room in front of them.
.
Inside the room, there are texts on the wall telling them to open Heaven and Earth scrolls, so Issei gave the Earth scroll to Furuichi while he would open the Heaven scroll himself.
*Poof* The scrolls began to summon the examiner after opened.
"Eh?!" x2. What surprised Issei and Furuichi was the Third Hokage got summoned instead of the Chunin examiner.
"Hello there." -Hiruzen
"Hello... First of all, why it's you instead of the examiner, Lord Third (Sandaime)?" -Issei
"Well, I'm quite free before the final round begins, so I switch with your team's examiner." Hiruzen then took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
"15 minutes huh. Congratulations on passing the second exam." Hiruzen was a little surprised by how fast Issei's group was, but he's already expected something like this to happen.
"Thank you... By the way, since the proctor of this round had said the time limit is 120 hours. So, do we have to stay here until this round is finished? " -Issei
"Not really... There's no rule about prohibiting participants from going back. The examiners usually told the participants to stay here just in case that there are too many teams passing in this round, so we can hold a preliminary round immediately after this round is finished. They also have to draw the match number of the final round even if there's no preliminary round." Hiruzen pondered a bit before answering Issei's question.
"Then, we can go back to our house first and return at that time, right?" -Issei
"That would be ok. Just don't be late when you guys are coming back." -Hiruzen
"Yes sir. Ah, here, the remaining scrolls that we've collected, these scrolls have no use for us anymore since we passed this round." Issei took out the remaining scrolls and handed them to Hiruzen.
Hiruzen took the scrolls and put them inside his uniform without saying anything. He was wondering about which were the unlucky teams that failed by Issei's group this quickly.
"One more thing, Lord Third. Can my friends come to watch the preliminary round?" -Issei
"Friends? Aside from Jiraiya which is your Jonin-sensei, there's only a girl name Ophis in your group isn't it?" -Hiruzen
"One more person has just arrived today." -Issei
"I see... Sure then, your friends are allowed to watch the preliminary round if we happen to hold it." -Hiruzen
"Thank you very much, Lord Third." -Issei
"You're welcome. Now, see you later in 5 days. *Poof*" Then Hiruzen disappeared.
.
"Well, let's go back to our house then. We're allowed by the Third Hokage after all." -Issei
Then Issei's group went back to their house through Lucoa's portal.
At the house, Lucoa's clone and Ophis were sitting in the living room, the former was reading a book while the latter was eating donuts that Issei had left for her, after seeing the group coming back, the clone merged back to the original Lucoa.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Karin exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" -Issei
"My belongings are still in my house at Kusagakure." -Karin
"Oh, just that? It's not a problem at all." -Issei
"Eh?" Then Karin's forehead was touched by Lucoa.
After that, Lucoa opened the portal directly to Karin's house from the memory she got from touching Karin's forehead.
"Let's go pick up all of your belongings." -Issei
.
Karin went to her house with Issei to pick up her belongings. Issei told her that she could store her belongings inside his Digivice without limit, so she just had to tell him what she wanted to take with her.
"Please store this scroll. It was left to me by my mother." -Karin
"Sure... Hmm? Mind's Eye of the Kagura (Kagura Shingan)." Issei saw the scroll's name that displaying in the item box.
"Eh? How can Issei-san know its name? My mother once told me that it's a secret technique that only passed down in our family." Karin was surprised that Issei knew the name of her family's secret technique.
"Well, its name and details were shown after being stored. Here." Issei then handed his Digivice to Karin, so that she could see the scroll's information.
_____
{{{{ Mind's Eye of the Kagura }}}}
- This is a technique that allows one to sense chakra from exceptional distances in great detail.
Class: Supplementary
[Learn] [Withdraw] [Cancel]
__________
At first, there's no [Learn] option when Issei was holding Digivice, but it's appeared after Karin holding it. So, Issei suggested Karin try to learn it.
_____
{{{ This is a unique ability, this item will disappear after you learn it. }}}
Would you like to learn [Mind's Eye of the Kagura]?
[Confirm] [Cancel]
__________
Both Karin and Issei saw the messages, the latter told her to learn it since it was hers in the first place, not to mention that Issei was unable to learn it.
After Karin learned Mind's Eye of the Kagura, the scroll disappeared from the item box. A moment later, Karin was able to sense all chakra around her in several meters without trying anything.
"Eh!! Issei-san you..." Karin exclaimed. She was surprised that she couldn't sense any chakra from Issei.
"Shh... That's right, I don't have chakra." Issei made a gesture telling Karin not to speak too loudly.
"Then how can you increase my body's age? It's not ninjutsu?" -Karin
"That's right, it's an ability that doesn't require any chakra to use. Also, I have another power that can be used in chakra's place. It's called [Magic]." Issei then ignited a fireball on his hand with fire magic.
"Magic?" -Karin
"That's right. You can ask Lucoa-san about its detail later as she's better than me in this field." Issei then put out the fireball and asked Karin what he should store next.
.
Many things that Karin told Issei to store were her belongings before she came to take refuge in Kusagakure. The last thing that Karin told him to store was a ragged scroll, more than half of its detail seems to be missing due to being torn or faded. Although its condition became like this, Karin still insisted on taking it as well, since it's her mother's heritage.

Remark:

- By paying 500 points, this technique will be restored back to the complete version.
[Repair] [Withdraw] [Cancel]
__________
As Issei still have 1100 points left, he has no problem paying 500 points to restore such a powerful technique.
"This one as well." After [Repair], (Incomplete), and remarks disappeared, Issei handed his Digive to Karin to learn the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"Uzumaki clan?" Karin was confused after reading the information, she never heard of this clan before.
"The Uzumaki clan is formerly a prominent clan in Uzushiogakure, the shinobi village of Uzu no Kuni (Land of Whirlpools). Due to its ninja were renowned for their sealing techniques to the point that it led to its destruction in war. Those who survived the village's destruction scattered across the world to seek refuge. A common trait among the Uzumaki clan members is red hair." -Issei
"So, I'm also an Uzumaki?" -Karin
"That's right. Let's just say from today onward you're Uzumaki Karin." -Issei
"Uzumaki Karin... Uzumaki..." Karin seemed to recall something.
"What's wrong?" -Issei
"In the first exam, there's a guy who said he's Uzumaki Naruto. So..."
"Yes, he's also an Uzumaki just like you." -Issei
"But why his hair is yellow?" -Karin
"According to my Jonin-sensei, only his mother was an Uzumaki, so his hair color came from inheriting his father's hair color." Issei didn't want to talk much about Naruto's parents, so he just briefly explained it to Karin.
"So, that's how it is." -Karin
"Anyway, you should learn that technique now, so we can go back to our house after this." -Issei
"Ah, okay." Karin then learned the Adamantine Sealing Chains. This time the scroll didn't disappear after she learned its technique.
After that, Issei and Karin went back to their house in Konoha.
