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

"Uh..." Looking at Karin, who was pressed tightly against him, her nostrils flaring and drool practically dripping from her mouth, looking like a lovesick girl, Chiya's forehead creased with annoyance. "Karin, what are you doing?"

Now Chiya finally understands why Sasuke didn't choose Karin in the end in the original story.

Although I know that Karin in the original work is like this when she's with the person she likes, I still can't help but feel a chill when it's my turn.

Meanwhile, Chika's face darkened the moment Karin threw herself into Chiya's arms. She lowered her head, her eyes hidden in shadow.

There are faint signs of him turning to the dark side.

Although she knew that her sister, whom her father had rescued, held some special feelings for him, she had no idea that he would dare to take any action until just now.

In other words, upon learning that this was her father's true form, Karin's body reacted faster than her brain, instinctively lunging at him.

How dare this sixteen-year-old old woman?

Karin slurped her saliva. "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen Lord Chiya in so long. Hmm, I wanted to use my charm... oh no, I wanted to get closer to Lord Chiya."

At this moment, Karin was unaware of the impending danger and instinctively blurted out her true feelings.

The moment she finished speaking, the corrupted Chika finally moved, throwing a punch that sent Karin flying dozens of meters away.

"You bastard Karin, who gave you permission to hug Chiya?"

As she spoke, Chika unleashed an extremely powerful burst of Sage Chakra.

Then he slowly walked towards Karin.

With each step, a deep footprint is left on the hard rocky ground, and around the footprint, cracks fill in, spreading out in a spider web pattern.

Suddenly, the entire mountain range seemed to tremble.

"It's been a few years, and Chinatsu really is starting to look more and more like Tsunade." Watching Chinatsu's furious back, Chiya gave Karin a "good luck" look and ignored them, turning her attention to Sasori and Chiyo below.

Inside the cave.

Because of Chinatsu's anger.

The mountain shook violently several times, and countless rocks tumbled down.

Just then, Chiyo was instructing Sakura on what to do next when they heard a sudden explosion from the top of the cave. Sakura was so frightened that she screamed and nearly fell to the ground. "Ah!"

"Don't be afraid, Sakura, you have to trust your companions. Besides, this voice doesn't sound like it came from that guy named Fujiwara Chiya." Chiyo put her right hand on Sakura's shoulder and stared at Sasori with a serious expression.

"How arrogant of you, old woman. You probably don't know how powerful an opponent those two little ones are facing. With that guy's strength, even a shadow clone would be extremely deadly." Sasori let out a sinister laugh. "Well then, let's begin."

The battle between Sasori and Chiyo, Sakura—or rather, Chiyo and her puppet Sakura—officially begins.

Because of the addition of the fourth generation Kazekage puppet, Chiyo had originally been looking forward to it.

But he was soon greatly disappointed.

Is it fair to say that Sasori truly deserves the title of the Akatsuki member who is second only to the filial son in terms of how much he lets his guard down?

After the Hiruko puppet was entangled by Chiyo's chakra threads and then shattered by Sakura, Sasori simultaneously retrieved the puppets of the Third and Fourth Hokage, the two strongest people.

As a result, Sasori did something quite different. He initially released the Pacific Ocean, calling it a "mistake," but Sakura, controlled by Chiyo, shattered the Fourth Kazekage puppet.

That's why he "had no choice" but to use the Third Kazekage's Kekkei Genkai, Iron Sand.

Then, just like in the original story, it was deliberately shattered.

Then, using the excuse that "since the third and fourth generation puppets have been broken, using other people's puppets will be of no use," he took off his Akatsuki clothes, exposing the obvious weakness in his chest, and began his path to death.

Finally, he deliberately revealed a weakness, and his heart was pierced by the two puppets, "Father" and "Mother".

"This guy named Sasori is going to die?" Karin, who had stopped playing around with Chinatsu, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The battle has dragged on until now, and any ninja with a modicum of sense knows that Sasori has been holding back all along, practically begging for his death.

Young Chinatsu, tears streaming down her face, threw herself into Chiya's arms, crying, "Why...why do they have to kill each other? Aren't they grandparents and grandchildren? Why is this happening? I don't want this!"

With the ability to hear the voices of all things, she could read the hearts of Chiyo and Scorpion Lord perfectly.

From their inner thoughts, she learned about Sasori's childhood and the reasons why he defected.

Because his parents were killed by Konoha's White Fang during the Second Shinobi World War, he was lonely from a young age. Living in Sunagakure, a village known for its cold-heartedness, and with a proud and arrogant grandmother, he did not receive proper guidance and went astray.

In short, this is the story of a love-starved teenager's descent into darkness.

Chika found resonance in this.

Because she also went through a similar period.

She had never seen her father since birth; her mother was a gambling addict who always tried to appease her.

Although she was given enough love, whenever she saw other children being held hand in hand by their fathers and mothers, she would look at them with envy, just like a scorpion in her childhood.

Now, although the family is reunited, they cannot understand their father's true feelings.

She worried that one day, her father, like Scorpion, would turn against her mother because of their differing stances.

"Since you don't like it, then I'll go and change the ending." Qianye ruffled Qianxia's cute head.

"Can things really change?" Qianxia stood up, wiped away her tears, and asked, her eyes red and choked with sobs.

"Of course." Chiya took two Senzu Beans from the system and handed them to Karin. "You're Tsunade's disciple, you should recognize these!"

Karin was taken aback. "These are Senzu Beans?"

Her teacher, Tsunade, had five. To ensure the success of the surgery, she gave one to Rock Lee, leaving four. This time, for her and Chika's safety, she gave her two more before leaving, just in case.

I never expected that Qianye would also possess such a divine object.

Chiya nodded and waved to Chika and Karin.

Under Chika's jealous gaze, Karin, her face flushed with excitement, leaned her ear close to her ear.

Chinatsu was equally quick to seize a favorable position, preventing Karin, that infatuated woman, from touching Chiya.

Qianye whispered some instructions to the two of them, then said, "Alright, I should go now, or we'll be late."

"Chiya, will we be able to see each other again later?" Chika looked at her father with a pitiful expression.

"Let's go back to Konoha. You'll see me when you get back. I'll be waiting for you at home," Chiya said, before heading down into the cave.

As soon as Chiya left, Chika didn't linger. In order to return to Konoha and see Chiya as soon as possible, she quickly grabbed Karin and rushed in the direction where Kakashi and the others had left.
