In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 119 The Chunin Exams Begin, Goodbye Team 7

"If you can do it." Kankuro grinned, his face full of disdain.

Temari, who was standing to the side, knew about the plans of Sunagakure and Otogakure and did not want to cause any trouble. She sighed helplessly and advised, "Stop it, Kankuro. You'll get a scolding later."

Kankuro didn't take it seriously. He was about to attack Konohamaru when Naruto suddenly called out Konohamaru's name and rushed over. However, Kankuro easily tripped Naruto by manipulating his chakra threads.

Chiya, Itachi, and Yekura stood on the roof of a building not far away, taking in everything below.

Upon hearing Konohamaru's name, Itachi looked at Chiya with some surprise, "Didn't you already wipe out the Sarutobi clan?"

"Of course, but I'm not some kind of devil. Just as you wiped out the Uchiha clan and left Sasuke behind, I also left survivors when I wiped out the Sarutobi clan, and there's more than one. The Third Hokage's youngest son is still alive," Chiya chuckled.

"What's with Konohamaru's voice? And his physique seems weaker than average. Did you do something to him?" Itachi Uchiha asked, frowning.

"It's nothing, he was just castrated. Sarutobi Asuma was castrated too. Now, looking at the entire Sarutobi clan, apart from that old codger Hiruzen Sarutobi, there isn't a single man left." Chiya said these startling words with an innocent expression.

"This guy." Itachi Uchiha's lips twitched violently beneath his gas mask, thinking to himself, how come I never noticed before that he was such a cunning guy?

As the two were talking, Sasuke came to the rescue.

In an extremely pretentious entrance, he used a pebble to hit Kankuro's hand, which was gripping Konohamaru's, freeing him. Then, he appeared on a large tree, leisurely tossing pebbles and looking down at those below, saying, "What are you doing in someone else's village, you bastards?"

The moment Sasuke appeared, the faces of several people under the tree flushed red. Sakura, in particular, instantly became a fangirl, shouting, "Sasuke, so handsome!"

"Your son is still as fond of showing off as ever." Qianye turned his head to look at Itachi.

Itachi didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth under the mask involuntarily pursed up. He thought to himself, "Sasuke, you've grown up, but it's not enough. Your hatred for me isn't enough."

Just then, Gaara finally appeared, and Yekura said with some surprise, "I didn't expect it to be them?"

"What, do you know those Sunagakure brats?" Chiya glanced at Gaara and his siblings, asking knowingly.

"Yes, those three are Rasa's children: Temari, the Wind Release ninja; Kankuro, the puppeteer; and the panda-eyed boy with the gourd on his back, Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, known as the ultimate weapon of the Sand Village." Yekura nodded, his expression solemn.

Chiya feigned surprise and said with a light laugh, "No wonder I sensed an unusual chakra in him, somewhat similar to that of the Fourth Mizukage, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki Yagura. So he's the One-Tails Jinchuriki. Well, this is quite a big win, encountering two Jinchuriki at once."

"Two Jinchūriki?" Yekura exclaimed in surprise. "You mean the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki is here too?"

"Yeah, it's that blond brat." As she said this, Qianye glanced at Dai Xiaozi without leaving a trace.

At this moment, the filial son looked extremely unwell, his eyebrows almost knitted together.

"So, should we make the arrest? Now is the best opportunity," Ye Cang said hesitantly.

"No need. The leader said it's just a reconnaissance. We don't need to do something thankless. Let's go." Qianye shook his head and leaped off the high platform in a flash.

"Yes, Lord Chiya," Yecang replied respectfully, following closely behind.

Upon hearing Chiya's words, Itachi followed after her.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

With Qianye's strength, if he were to make a move, I'm afraid no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village could stop him.

The three of them walked past Gaara, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others with ease.

Itachi glanced at Sasuke midway through, and their eyes met.

Sasuke frowned slightly. Because of his disguise, he didn't recognize Itachi Uchiha, but the strong sense of déjà vu he felt made him furrow his brow. He thought to himself, "Who are these guys? I didn't even notice them until they walked right past me. Damn it."

Of the six, Gaara, the strongest, also sensed the unusual nature of Chiya and the other two, and asked, "What are your names?"

"Kid, you're not worthy to know in your current state." With those words, Qianye and his two companions disappeared into the street.

"This guy... seems to be worth killing." Gaara laughed instead of getting angry when he heard this, which made Kankuro and Temari sweat profusely, fearing that he would go berserk again.

As evening approached and the sun set, the evening glow in the west contrasted beautifully with the various buildings of Konoha Village, creating a unique and magnificent scene.

Inside a hotel, Qianye had already removed his disguise, changed into casual clothes, and was preparing to go out.

"What are you planning to do?" Uchiha Itachi, who was standing by the window with his arms crossed, frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, worried that Chiya might do something detrimental to Konoha.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just going to see some old friends. Similarly, you can go see your Erzhuzi. I won't stop you."

"As long as it doesn't affect the mission, we can turn a blind eye to many things."

"Of course, it would be a different story if someone dared to leak the information. After all, our mission here is just to observe the battle. If someone leaks the information, I'm afraid it won't just be that old man, the Third Generation, who will die."

Qianye glanced at Dai Xiaozi indifferently, giving him a warning to prevent him from going to the Third Generation to tell on her. Then, she turned to Yecang, her tone softening considerably, and said softly, "Yecang, I'm going out for a bit. I probably won't be back tonight."

After saying that, Chiya disappeared from the room, leaving behind a bewildered Uchiha Itachi.

As for Ye Cang, she was already used to it. She simply bowed gracefully to the place where Qianye had disappeared, crossed her arms, leaned against the wall, and closed her eyes to rest.

"Has he always been like this?" Itachi Uchiha asked hesitantly.

"Lord Chiya always has his own plans, and I won't interfere too much. Alright, go if you want, but don't disturb my sleep." Yecang waved his hand impatiently, without ever glancing at Uchiha Itachi.

"Then I'll be back tomorrow too." After hesitating for a moment, Itachi Uchiha left these words and disappeared from the room.

Although he didn't intend to beat Erzhuzi up right now, it was always good to see him more often.
