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

Chapter 39 Sarutobi's Clan Annihilation

"That's true, but then again, besides Danzo, is anyone else from the Shimura family still alive?" White Zetsu couldn't help but ask.

"I have confirmed it; not a single member of the clan survived," Black Zetsu replied.

"Then why did Chiya say he was leaving incense for Danzo? Hmm, it seems that Chiya's shadow clone over there has met its match." White Zetsu exclaimed. In a certain residence of the Sarutobi clan, Chiya was surrounded by several Jonin, seven or eight Special Jonin, and more than a dozen Chunin.

"Chiya, what exactly do you want? Why are you so ruthless in killing my Sarutobi clan?" Hearing the screams of the clansmen in the surrounding courtyards, the leading Jonin of the Sarutobi clan questioned Chiya with a gloomy expression.

Others might not recognize Chiya, but as a direct relative of the Hokage, they would not mistake him.

Having spent years "solving problems" for Hiruzen Sarutobi, they've done just as much dirty work as the Root organization.

Otherwise, the Sarutobi clan could not have grown from a small clan to a force comparable to the Uchiha clan in just a few decades.

"You can ask the Third Hokage about this when you go to the Yellow Springs." Chiyo raised her right hand, and with a bird's cry, lightning surged in her palm, instantly transforming into a sharp spear tens of meters long, which pierced through the throat of the Jonin Sarutobi.

Jonin Sarutobi didn't even have time to scream before he lost consciousness, his pupils lifeless, and he was dead beyond any doubt.

"Kill him quickly!"

The other Sarutobi clan members were startled by Chiyo's move and hurriedly attacked him.

Chiya wielded the Thousand Birds Spear, sweeping across the battlefield in a single blow. The seven or eight Jonin and Special Jonin of the Sarutobi Clan who rushed forward were instantly cleaved in two and fell into pools of blood.

"Ah! Run! This is a demon! Quickly, go inform the Hokage!"

The remaining special Jonin and Chunin of the Sarutobi clan were so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless and wished they had more legs. They turned around and ran away.

Qianye would not let them go. The Thousand Birds in his palm transformed into countless thousands of sticks, which shot towards the Sarutobi clan. In an instant, the Sarutobi clan's high-end combat force was wiped out.

"What is that? Lightning Release? That's amazing," White Zetsu exclaimed.

As a war correspondent, Black Zetsu, as always, took on the role of commentator: "That's Chidori, a lightning release ninjutsu created by Kakashi. It seems that Chiya not only learned it, but also made changes to its form. It now combines mid-to-long-range attacks with area-of-effect attacks."

"To be able to unleash such a powerful lightning ninjutsu using only shadow clones, he's really something."

The killing continued.

Meanwhile, at the Konoha Three-Color Dumpling Shop.

"What's wrong with this weather? It's almost seven o'clock. Usually, it would be dark by now. This is really depressing."

Sarutobi Asuma glanced at the clock hanging in the dango shop, then looked up at the sky, which had been dyed dark red by the sunset. A sense of unease crept into his heart, and he couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"It is indeed quite strange." Kurenai Yuhi felt a sense of unease as well, gently touching her chest with her hand as she replied.

It has been almost a year since Qianye confessed his feelings to her and said that inexplicable thing.

During that time, the two never spoke another word to each other, nor did they ever meet again.

If it weren't for the chance encounter with Kakashi, who informed him that Chiya was safe and sound.

Kurenai Yuhi almost thought something had happened to Chiya.

Compared to Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi's unease, the oblivious Might Guy didn't think that much, constantly chanting "youth," which made Genma Shiranui next to him feel like his ears were about to fall off.

"What kind of mission did that bastard take on? He's so secretive." Thinking this to herself, Kurenai Yuhi lost interest in listening to Might Guy's rambling any longer. She stood up and said, "That's enough for today. I've eaten enough dumplings; it's time to go home."

"Um... Kurenai, how about I..." Sarutobi Asuma offered to take Kurenai home, but Kurenai waved her hand dismissively, "No need, I can go home by myself. I'm not a child anymore. If I let you take me home, what will others (Chiya) think?"

After saying that, Kurenai Yuhi used her Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from the dumpling shop.

Sarutobi Asuma sighed helplessly, knowing that his plan to pursue Kurenai Yuhi had failed again. He said goodbye to Might Guy and Genma Shiranui, and returned home dejectedly.

As soon as he entered the house, Sarutobi Asuma smelled an extremely strong stench of blood.

The entire Sarutobi clan was eerily quiet.

It's like a ghost town.

"What exactly is going on?"

A bead of cold sweat dripped from Sarutobi Asuma's forehead. He quickened his pace and rushed towards the inner quarters.

We hadn't gone far when we saw corpses all over the ground.

These are all his people.

He clutched his head with both hands, let out a scream, staggered, and collapsed to the ground in terror, staring in horror at everything before him.

He was dead. All his people were dead. Looking around, there wasn't a single survivor.

His death was extremely gruesome; he was killed with a single blow.

"Ah!" Just then, a child's scream jolted Asuma out of his terror.

"Oh no. That's Konohamaru's voice."

Sarutobi Asuma grew increasingly anxious. Ignoring his fear, he quickened his pace and rushed toward the source of the sound.

at the same time.

Chiya had almost wiped out all the Sarutobi clan members in the residential area.

Only Konohamaru remained, trembling in fear, hidden in a wardrobe by his clansmen.

"This is the last one in the residential area. Chiya, what do you plan to do?" Hidden in the wall, White Zetsu spoke to Chiya in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Qianye shook her head. "No, there should be two. Isn't there another one on its way?"

As they were talking, Chiya punched through the cabinet and pulled Konohamaru out.

Konohamaru was instantly terrified and burst into tears, his soul nearly leaving his body from the cold gaze beneath the mask of Chiya.

Without wasting words with him, Qianye raised his Zanpakuto and slashed down Konohamaru's lower body, cutting off half a tael of flesh.

"Ah!" Konohamaru screamed in agony, his crying abruptly stopped, his whole body convulsed a few times, and he fainted from the pain.

Qianye kindly performed hemostasis treatment on him.

To prevent him from losing his life.

"Aren't you going to kill him?" Seeing that Chiya had only destroyed Konohamaru's tools of the trade, Black Zetsu couldn't help but ask.

"No, no, I said I would leave a lineage for the third generation, and I will leave a lineage. I can't favor one over the other." Chiya casually tossed the unconscious Konohamaru aside.

"Hey, Qianye, is this how you leave a child for someone else?" Bai Jue's lips twitched. Although it wasn't human, it knew that once a human male lost his genitals, it meant he had lost his fertility.

Konohamaru isn't even a complete man anymore, so what kind of lineage is he leaving behind?
