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

"Boring." Scorpion clicked his tongue and turned to walk towards the Land of Demons.

"Oh, by the way, keep an eye out for the Land of Demons for me. There's a demon there called Chimei, which is said to have been left over from the time of the Sage of Six Paths. If anyone breaks the seal, remember to let me know. I need a more powerful summoning beast." Chiya's voice rang out again.

"I know, I know, you're even more annoying than Payne." Sasori waved his hand impatiently.

The cave stronghold where the one-tailed creature is sealed.

The place was in complete disarray, with rubble and broken puppets everywhere.

Obito looked at Zetsu and asked him for details.

"I can no longer sense Sasori's chakra. Deidara's chakra is 700 meters underground to the northwest. It seems he escaped unscathed. As for Chiya, that guy seems to have a way of sensing chakra, but I've never truly sensed him," Black Zetsu replied.

"Tch, that guy," Obito clicked his tongue lightly. Whenever Chiyo was mentioned, a deep sense of dread would appear in his eyes.

Then, as if remembering something, he quickly adjusted his mindset, transformed into Tobi, and revealed a lewd expression, "So, Senior Zetsu, now that Senior Sasori is dead, and a position has become vacant in Akatsuki, can I officially join?"

"Uh..." White Zetsu and Black Zetsu had black lines appearing on their foreheads, speechless at Obito's sudden change.

Realizing what was happening, Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "Let's find Scorpion's ring first."

"Hey hey." Obito, now transformed into Tobi, was instantly filled with energy and began searching quickly.

Before long, they found the puppet arm that wore the 'jade' ring.

Jue then walked up to the 'Father' and 'Mother' puppets, looked at the puppet lying between them, and after confirming that it was indeed Scorpion, murmured, "Is this Scorpion's true form?"

"Senior Jue, I found it! I found it! I found the ring left by Senior Scorpion!" From a distance, A-Fei held Scorpion's ring and waved excitedly at Jue.

"How could it be so easy to join?" Bai Jue put on an acting performance.

"Isn't this great? Fei is a good kid." Black Zetsu gave a different answer than White Zetsu. The three of them, cautious and discreet, began to sing a three-part song in the absence of a fourth person.

"He is indeed a good child. But he is an old child who is over a hundred years old." A clear voice suddenly rang out in the air. Zetsu and Obito subconsciously looked up and saw Chiyo with light purple wings on her back. She flew down and landed on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Oh, Chiyo-kun, that's pretty cool for wings speed. Is it one of your newly developed ninjutsu?" White Zetsu exclaimed.

"I guess so," Qianye replied casually, then glanced at 'Scorpion' and feigned surprise, saying, "It seems Scorpion is dead. That's a real shame. I should have known better than to be lazy like this."

"What are you doing here?" Obito frowned, reverting to Madara Uchiha's usual tone.

"My shadow clone was defeated by that brat from the Uzumaki clan and the Fifth Hokage's daughter. Like you, I've come to retrieve the ring. Is there a problem? Or do I need your permission to go anywhere, Lord Uchiha Madara?"

Qianye smiled amusedly and teased.

Obito frowned, thinking to himself, "This guy probably never believed I was Uchiha Madara." "Watch your attitude towards me. I'm still an intern in Akatsuki, Tobi."

Qianye continued teasingly, "Alright, Fei. So shouldn't you call me Senior Qianye?"

"Alright, Senya-senpai, but from today onwards, I am also a formal member of the Akatsuki. Please take care of me." Obito suppressed his anger, put on his usual comical appearance, put on the ring, and saluted Senya.

Seeing Obito get his comeuppance, White Zetsu couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Haha, Chiya really is Tobi's nemesis."

"Shut up, White Zetsu." Black Zetsu turned his gaze to Chiya, changing the subject, "Chiya, what exactly happened here?"

Chiya spoke nonsense with a straight face: "According to the memories of my shadow clone, the battlefield was divided into three areas at that time. My shadow clone fought against Karin Uzumaki, the disciple of the Fifth Hokage, and her daughter Chika."

"Sasori dealt with his grandmother, Granny Chiyo, and that tomboy named Sakura Haruno. As for Deidara, he rode the exploding clay bird alone, took Gaara's body, and lured away the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Kakashi followed. But it seems he has failed."

"Fortunately, he survived, and I can still sense his chakra."

"I think you, old sixth brother, know the exact location better than I do."

"I've found the ring. Deidara is in your hands now. I'm sure he doesn't want so many people to see him in such a sorry state. So, I'll head home now."

After saying that, Qianye's Purple Cloud Wings shot out from his back, and with a slight flap, he flew into the sky with a whoosh. He circled halfway in the air before his body transformed into a streak of cyan-purple light and disappeared into the horizon.

"That guy." Looking at the spot where Chiya disappeared, Obito and Absolute Gaze exchanged a glance, a hint of apprehension flashing in their eyes. They turned and headed towards Deidara's direction.

Meanwhile, after disappearing from Obito and Zetsu's sight, Chiya used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the Hokage's office.

At this moment, only Tsunade and Shizune were in the office.

"Lord Chiya, you've really gone too far. Don't you know you're going to scare people to death?" Although it wasn't the first time Chiya had suddenly appeared, Shizune was still startled and couldn't help but complain.

"Sorry. But things over there are all settled now, so I just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't worry," Qianye said with a smile.

"How is it?" Tsunade asked immediately upon hearing this.

"It's alright. No one from Konoha died this time, but Akatsuki lost a member. I gained a fairly trustworthy subordinate. Gaara, although he was stripped of his One-Tail, survived. Apart from some minor Sand Ninja killed in Akatsuki's operation, none of the important figures died, so it's a happy ending," Chiya replied.

"Did the sun rise in the west? You actually had the heart to save someone." Tsunade stood up and gave up her office chair, waving her hand to signal Shizune to go out and keep watch.

Chiya sat down in the office chair quite naturally, then pulled Tsunade into his arms. "I didn't save that Kazekage kid. It was Granny Chiyo from Sunagakure who was moved by Naruto's determination to save Gaara, or perhaps by his talk-no-jutsu, and used the Reincarnation Jutsu, which cost her her life, to revive Gaara."

"I only gave Chiyo, that old woman who doesn't have many years left, a Senzu Bean because of Chika."
