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

Chapter 200 Stepfather, Mother, and Stepson

"Uh..." Mrs. Mikoto's thought process made Chiya's face twitch, and she was speechless for a moment, but what could she do? She was the mother of the child.

Moreover, I did go a bit too far this time.

He quickly wiped away Mrs. Mikoto's tears and tried to comfort her.

Mrs. Mikoto felt much better afterward, and at the same time, she noticed that Chiya wasn't wearing any clothes. A blush quickly spread across her cheeks, and she scolded, "Be mindful of your image. What if Chika sees you?"

"I was just worried you'd misunderstand." Qianye smiled sheepishly, quickly dressed, and changed into a set of casual home clothes.

Then, he put his arm around his wife's shoulder and sat her down at the dining table. "You must be hungry. I've already had my shadow clone prepare the meal."

As Chiya spoke, she placed a piece of food on Mrs. Mikoto's plate. "Ah."

"Ah!" Mrs. Mikoto blushed, opened her mouth to take it, then suddenly paused, exclaiming in surprise, "How did you make this? It's so delicious!"

"I just made it up. Last time I was on a mission, I saw a restaurant with pretty good food, so I spent some money and got the recipe from the owner." Qianye made up a reason. Of course, he couldn't tell Mrs. Mikoto that his cooking skills had improved so much because of the system.

Mrs. Mikoto, unsuspecting, hesitated for a moment, her cheeks flushing again, and said somewhat hesitantly, "Izumi hasn't had dinner yet either."

"Do you think she'll come out if we call her now?" Chiya asked Mikoto with a smile. Because Chiya had eaten Senzu Beans not long ago, he wasn't hungry despite the delicious food and only ate a few bites. Then he began preparing food for Izumi.

"You eat first, I'll take some to Quan later."

"Hmm." Mikoto responded, then stopped talking and focused on tasting the food Chiya had cooked. Her mind drifted back to the scene of the three of them fighting not long ago, her cheeks flushed, and even her neck was tinged with pink.

A brief silence fell over the large living room.

Only after preparing the meal for Izumi did Chiya speak, breaking the silence in the room, "This time, I went back to Konoha."

The lady's beautiful eyes flickered, and a look of worry immediately appeared in them. She asked urgently, "What about Sasuke...?"

"I knew you'd ask that." Qianye smiled gently and casually took an envelope from the system inventory. "Don't worry, Erzhuzi is perfectly fine. Open it and take a look."

Mrs. Mikoto took the envelope, opened it as instructed, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Who is this blonde little girl who looks a lot like Chika?" Mrs. Mikoto pointed to the photo in the envelope, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes. She suspected that Chiya had been having affairs and had a child with another woman.

"Uh, I took the wrong one. This is a picture I took of someone who looks like Chika when I was traveling." Chiya's lips twitched. He actually took the wrong envelope. It seems he should mark it beforehand next time. Otherwise, if someone pulls out his private photos with Tsunade, he'll be in big trouble.

"Could this be your daughter too?" Mrs. Mikoto narrowed her eyes, a dangerous smile on her face.

She knew all too well how greedy her little man was; she had been won over by him through a combination of coaxing and resistance.

"How could that be?" Qianye quickly denied, without blushing or skipping a beat, and said in a serious tone, "Look, this child looks about the same age as Qianhua. During the time you were pregnant, I was always by your side, sending shadow clones to carry out missions. How could I have cheated on you?"

"That's true. But I hope you'll consider Izumi's feelings more." Mrs. Mikoto nodded slightly, without suspecting anything.

Indeed, during her pregnancy, Qianye stayed by her side and took great care of her.

Even if Qianye had the motive, he didn't have the time or opportunity.

That's why she gradually accepted this little man from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, if she knew that this was a child that Chiya and Tsunade had created before her, she probably wouldn't think that way.

"Ahem," Qianye cleared his throat guiltily, put away Qianxia's photo, took out another envelope from the system warehouse, and after confirming that it was correct, handed it to Mrs. Mikoto, "Alright, stop overthinking. This is Erzhuzi now."

Upon hearing this, Mikoto instantly forgot about Chinatsu and hurriedly opened the envelope. Looking at the photos of Erzhuzi inside, Mrs. Mikoto could no longer hide her loneliness, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.

"Alright, Erzhuzi is fine now, you should be happy." Qianye gently wiped away Mrs. Mikoto's tears.

"Hmm." Mrs. Mikoto, her eyes red, murmured with a bittersweet smile, "It seems Sasuke has really grown up. Did you meet him?"

"Yeah, that guy's still as unlovable as ever." Qianye nodded, not elaborating on Erzhuzi's affairs, and suddenly asked, "What, do you want to see him?"

Mrs. Mikoto nodded first, then shook her head, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes again. "As long as he's safe and sound, that's all that matters. If we met now, that child would definitely ask me for the truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre, and I don't want to lie to him."

"Then let's meet again at the right time I mentioned." Chiya said, taking out another photo of Uncle Sasuke grown up. "Take a look at this one."

If a filial son can recognize Uncle Sasuke at a glance, then Mrs. Mikoto, as a mother, can certainly do the same.

Upon seeing the photo of the middle-aged man, Sasuke, she asked somewhat uncertainly, "This is... Sasuke?"

Chiya nodded and added, "To be precise, it's Sasuke after he grew up. He came from a parallel universe. In their world, the Uchiha clan was truly wiped out, leaving only him."

Mrs. Mikoto couldn't help but feel a little sad. "That child must have had a really tough time. Where is he now?"

Qianye said, "They came here by chance, and because they didn't want to interfere too much with the course of this world, they went back. But you don't need to worry about him too much. It seems that in that world, he was already married and had a lovely daughter, just like us."

"That's good." Hearing this, Mrs. Mikoto's face showed a relieved smile. Worried that Chiyo might overthink things, she tightened her grip on Erzhuzi's photo and asked hesitantly, "Can I have these photos?"

"Of course, this was specially brought for you." Seeing Mrs. Mikoto's understanding expression, Chiya smiled knowingly and added, "Besides, Erzhuzi is my stepson after all, I wouldn't be jealous of my own son."

"Thank you." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mikoto felt a warm current flow through her heart. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what Chiya said. She brought her beautiful red lips to Chiya's face, kissed him lightly, and leaned into Chiya's arms.
