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

Chapter 82 Sasuke is going to be a big brother

Meanwhile, Chiya had already arrived at the meeting point with Sasori and the others.

"Has it finally arrived?" Scorpion murmured as he watched Chiya approach like a ghost.

Deidara immediately approached and asked, "Brother Chiya... Brother Chiya, how strong is the newly appointed Fifth Mizukage? Is he powerful?"

Chiya stroked his chin and spoke nonsense with a straight face: "Not bad strength. He possesses Water Release, which is strong enough to extinguish my Fire Release, Lava Release, which can be used over a wide area and has stickiness and strong corrosiveness, and Boiling Release, which is strong enough to melt gold and iron. His attack power is quite formidable. He is worthy of the name of Kage. If an ordinary person encounters him, I'm afraid he would really be doomed."

"To receive such high praise from Brother Qianye, it seems that woman's strength is truly remarkable, hmm." Deidara nodded to himself upon hearing this.

"Alright, stop dawdling. The leader is waiting for us." Sasori said impatiently, too lazy to listen to Deidara's nagging.

"I know... I know, Brother Sasori, you're always in such a hurry." Deidara reluctantly summoned two clay birds.

He and the scorpion rode together in one.

One Chiya and one Yekura.

The two groups flew one after the other to Amegakure.

Only then did Ye Cang speak, "Thank you for what happened before."

"It's nothing, I was just following the rules. Besides," Qianye turned around, glanced at Yecang with interest, and chuckled, "I can't possibly see my future partner pricked like a hedgehog, can I?"

"However, the fact that you're still alive can't be kept secret. If nothing unexpected happens, the higher-ups in Kirigakure will blame you for the deaths of hundreds of Kirigakure ninjas today, and then use that as an opportunity to put pressure on Sunagakure."

"This also gives the Sunagakure leadership an excuse. They will take this opportunity to label you as an S-rank rogue ninja who violated the peace treaty between the two countries. I hope you are mentally prepared."

"I'll settle this score with those bastards sooner or later." Yekura's face turned ashen with anger when he mentioned the Sunagakure high-ranking officials.

She vowed to make those people pay for their crimes in blood.

Outside Amegakure Village.

Akatsuki's temporary base.

Payne gathered all Akatsuki members and, as usual, held a welcoming ceremony for the newcomer.

Not only Pakura, but Hidan was also brought back by Kakuzu, Konan, and Itachi.

In Yekura and Hidan, a scratch was left on the headband to signify a break from the village they had left behind.

Pain distributed Akatsuki uniforms, nail polish, and rings exclusive to Akatsuki members to them.

Hidan's ring still has the number "3", while Yekura's ring is newly made. It has no code on it and cannot be connected to the Gedo Mazo; it only has a communication function.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I will not give up on my revenge against the higher-ups of Sunagakure."

"Me too, I won't stop proselytizing the evil god cult."

Donning his kimono and ring, Yekura explained his terms to Hidan.

"Do as you please. The two-person teams have been formed. As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the organization on time, I will not interfere with you at other times."

Pain looked around. "The Akatsuki members are all here: Konan, Chiya, Pakura, Itachi, Kisame, Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, Hidan, and Zetsu."

"Everyone has their own circumstances and their own ambitions, which is why we've gathered here."

"We will now officially begin our operation. Our target is the nine tailed beasts, from the One-Tailed to the Nine-Tailed."

"Despite facing powerful opponents, we must gather all the Tailed Beasts. Then, we will realize the ultimate dream of our Akatsuki organization."

"That's why we eleven have gathered here. We cannot fail."

At this point, Pain raised his right hand, and the stone door behind him slowly opened, radiating dazzling sunlight onto the eleven Akatsuki members.

"Set off."

As the words fell, members of Akatsuki, including Pain, emerged from the cave one after another.

Obito sat atop the mountain, watching the eleven people emerge from the cave below, and murmured, "The curtain is finally rising on the Akatsuki... no... it should be that the Eye of the Moon Plan is about to begin."

Following behind Pain, and using his Observation Haki, Chiya heard Obito's words the whole time, and couldn't help but think to himself, "What a chuunibyou patient."

Next, the group separated and began to disperse to various parts of the ninja world in pairs.

Chiya was relatively lucky this time, as she was assigned to Hidan's hometown, the Land of Hot Springs, a relatively peaceful country without much war.

As is customary, Qianye would always return to her residence before embarking on any long journey.

He spends his days with Izumi and his nights with Mrs. Mikoto.

Just as Chiya was about to head to Amegakure, Konan called out to him, "Chiya, wait a moment."

"Is there something you need?" Qianye asked, somewhat surprised.

Since the Tansaku Street mission ended, Konan has basically never given him a kind look.

If Chiya hadn't been so confident in his senses, he would have suspected that his affair with Tsunade had been discovered by Black Zetsu, who then reported it to Pain and Konan.

Konan didn't answer, but looked at Yekura instead.

Chiya sighed softly, "Yakura, you should go first. When we arrive at Amegakure, Juzo will arrange accommodations for you!"

The current Pipa Juzo is the captain of the Amegakure's ANBU (Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force), responsible for security work. He specializes in dealing with spies from other countries for Pain and maintaining the normal operation of Amegakure.

This way, Payne wouldn't have to personally intervene every time they encountered an enemy.

Ye Cang nodded slightly, and in a flash, disappeared from the spot.

"Mikoto is pregnant."

After Ye Cang left, Xiao Nan finally spoke, looking at Qian Ye with the same disdain she had shown him.

Mikoto Uchiha can be said to have never left the clock tower; her chakra has always been at the very top of the tower, within Nagato's perception.

There are only two men in the entire tower, so Nagato can be ruled out immediately. First, he has difficulty walking. Second, he has no interest in women.

The only culprit is Chiya, who lives in the same house as Mikoto.

"When? How long ago? How is your wife's health now?"

Chiya asked three questions in a row, and without waiting for Konan's answer, he flashed away and sped towards Amegakure.

"Uh..." Even with Xiao Nan's composure, she hadn't expected Qian Ye to react this way. She immediately used the Paper Dance technique, conjuring a pair of enormous paper wings behind her, and chased after him. "Don't you want to explain yourself?"

"What's there to explain?" Qianye continued his nonsensical ramblings with an air of seriousness: "A man born between heaven and earth is bound to have three wives and four concubines. Moreover, my wife is no longer a married woman. It's only natural that a man and a woman alone together would develop feelings for each other over time."

"She is Itachi's mother, more than twenty years older than you, and her son is the same age as you." Konan tried to persuade Chiya with ethics.

"What's the big deal? A woman three years older than me is like a gold brick in the sky. My wife is only about twenty years older than me, and she's already married seven gold bricks. I'm overjoyed," Qianye said nonchalantly.

Anyway, he has pure gold. As long as there are no natural disasters or man-made calamities, the age difference is not a problem at all. What will a mere twenty-year age difference be worth hundreds of years later?
