It's been forever since Karin was last in Konoha. If she had to guess almost a whole year. In which case, good lord where did the time go? Not like she'd been excessively busy in those eleven months so as to keep her from traveling to visit friends and family. She'd gone to Ame in April, so obviously there was room for her travel in between her missions assignments.

After checking in with her aunt and uncle (she'd see Naruto later most likely if he was truly in village too) Karin took to reacquainting herself with the village. A lot could change in a year after all. Not that Konoha ever seemed to change all that much after long periods of absence. It was oddly static and she found that reassuring right now as she sought out her favorite food stand. Ordering a small order of her favorite snack she paid and took it with her as she turned to walk along the river.

She was still having the occasional nightmare from when she had ended up in Juugo's body and she intended to drown out the memory of the nightmare with the soothing sound of the gurgling river. At least until she spotted a familiar head of red hair. "Hey Adela-chan, what are you doing out here?"
