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

Hinata was overjoyed to get the answer she wanted, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her pretty face.

Then I felt a slight throbbing pain in my chest, and I realized that my sister was still in Qianye's hands. Moreover, he had not let go of her, and was even clenching his fingers from time to time.

Hinata lowered her head, her feet completely hidden, and said timidly, "Um, Chiya-nii, can you let go now? Hinata feels so bad."

"Uh, sorry, sorry haha, I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself."

Qianye let out an awkward laugh.

"Honestly, Chiyo-nii, you're always like this." Hinata pouted in dissatisfaction, then covered her mouth and suddenly burst into laughter. Only now could she confirm that he was still him.

The battle between the brothers Shisui and Sasuke is imminent, and soon Shisui will entrust his right eye to Naruto.

Having made the deal with Kabuto, Chiya felt she could reclaim the eye.

This meeting with Hinata was merely a side trip.

Considering that she had things to do later, Chiya spent some time cuddling with Hinata and having some fun with her before bidding her a reluctant farewell and heading to the meeting place with Yekura.

"Have you met Chinatsu?" This was the first thing Chiya said to Yekura after they met.

"Hmm." Ye Cang nodded, the image of Qianxia calling her "stepmother" still lingering in his mind.

"How are you feeling?" Qianye asked with a smile.

"She's a very smart girl." Yekura offered her assessment, and when she looked into Chinatsu's eyes, it was as if Chinatsu understood all her intentions, as if there were no secrets left.

After a slight hesitation, she added, "She calls me 'stepmother' now."

"That really does look like her," Qianye smiled.

Just then, a pull came from the ring on his hand, signaling that the Akatsuki organization was about to hold another meeting.

In the pitch-black cave, the demon statue of the Outer Path revealed its head and hands in a praying posture.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

On the ten fingers of the Gedo Mazo, the remaining nine Akatsuki members appeared one after another.

"Zetsu, what's wrong with you?" The Akatsuki robe is the symbol of the Akatsuki organization. When Pain saw Zetsu take off the Akatsuki robe, his brows furrowed immediately.

"You'll have to ask them." Zetsu's gaze swept over Chiya, Pakura, Deidara, and Obito, finally settling on Chiya's projection. "I was almost blown up by that crazy ninjutsu."

"Senior Zetsu, this is not my fault. It was Senya-senpai's ninjutsu that affected me and Deidara-senpai. We were riding on the exploding clay and were blown far away."

Obito, now transformed into a goofy Tobi, scratched the back of his head in annoyance, as if afraid that everyone wouldn't know, and specifically pointed out that it was Chiya who released the ninjutsu.

"Sorry. I didn't know you were there, because I was recently trying to fuse different chakra attributes into a bloodline limit. I didn't control the chakra ratio well, so I had to throw you out to avoid affecting Deidara and Tobi."

Qianye smiled faintly, but there was no hint of apology in her tone.

"So, that's a bloodline limit. As expected of Brother Qianye, not only has he developed the Five Elements Escape Technique to its limit, but he's even started creating bloodline limits on his own. Hmm."

Upon hearing this, Deidara felt a warm current flow through his heart and suddenly realized that it seemed that Brother Qianye had chosen to let Sasuke go in order to avoid affecting them.

"It seems Mr. Chiya has developed another incredibly powerful ninjutsu." Kisame picked up the conversation, asking curiously, "So, who is his opponent this time? Is it the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, or Uchiha Sasuke, who could make Mr. Chiya use his newly developed ninjutsu?"

"Hey hey. I know, I know." Obito, still with his goofy personality, seemed afraid that someone would answer before him, and hurriedly raised his right hand to speak, "It's Uchiha Sasuke."

Then, he launched into a long, uninhibited speech: "This is the first time I've seen Senpai fight. I must say, Senpai is truly amazing. With overwhelming strength, he made Uchiha Sasuke and his two companions almost powerless to resist."

At this point, Obito gave Itachi a meaningful look and added, "In the end, even the Mangekyou Sharingan ability that Itachi-senpai had was used, but it was still easily countered by Senya-senpai."

Upon hearing this, a hint of emotion flashed in the eyes of the filial son.

Like Deidara, Kisame, one of the few members of Akatsuki who cared about his comrades, seemed to understand Itachi's thoughts and asked on his behalf, "So, is Sasuke dead?"

"No, I just tested his strength a little. Didn't Dai Xiaozi say that Erzhuzi still had something he needed? So I left it for him." Qianye said, looking at Dai Xiaozi with amusement. "Thank me, otherwise your foolish Ototo probably wouldn't be here today."

"Furthermore, I also tested out his strength for you. Although he has activated the Kaleidoscope, his illusion magic is still as weak as ever. He only has the ability to control the shape of his black flames."

"With your skill level, as long as you don't hold back like Scorpion did against his grandmother, winning shouldn't be difficult."

Upon seeing the black flames, Deidara immediately recalled Sasuke's Amaterasu, and a chill ran through him. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chiyo, what exactly are those strange black flames? They can even burn away flames. Hmm."

Chiya replied, "Amaterasu, like the eye technique Kakashi used to break your right arm, is an eye technique activated by the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Wherever the eye can see, it can unleash a wide-ranging black flame to burn the opponent. And the black flame will not disappear until the target is completely burned. Once you are contaminated, unless you discard the contaminated part, your entire body will be burned to ashes."

"That was truly a terrifying eye technique. Hmm." Deidara nodded with lingering fear, cold sweat beading on his brow.

Qianye said nonchalantly, "It's scary in some ways, but not scary in others. Aside from its immortality, a pupil technique of that level isn't much stronger than ordinary flames. As long as you block it with something beforehand, then everything will be smooth sailing from here on out."

"I'm afraid only Mr. Chiyo could do something like this. Not everyone possesses such powerful perception as you," Kisame sighed. He knew he couldn't possibly evade Amaterasu.

"Kisame is right." Deidara swallowed hard. Clearly, the battle between Chiya and Sasuke had deeply impressed him.

Qianye said seriously, "In that case, then you should train yourselves as hard as you can, especially Deidara. As the youngest member of Akatsuki, you still have a lot of room for growth. After this battle, you should know where your weakness is against Sasuke. As long as you get rid of that weakness, your strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds."

Deidara's weakness is his vulnerability to lightning release; once his clay bombs come into contact with lightning, they become duds.

Speaking of chakra attribute counters, it's ridiculous. Whether in the original work or now, it seems that Deidara is the only one who is countered.
