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

Chapter 88 The Loving Akatsuki Family

Yamanaka Kaze said respectfully, "According to the information we have obtained, Sarutobi Asuma became pregnant because Fujiwara Chiya gave him some kind of mysterious liquid, which caused a change in his body structure."

"And the night before your clan was wiped out, you met with Fujiwara Chiya. It's very likely that Fujiwara Chiya tampered with your tea."

Danzo frowned: "Go on."

Yamanaka Kaze continued, "I dare to speculate that the reason why the young lady was able to inherit the first generation's cells and achieve an unprecedented 100% genetic match with you is most likely because she was formed by the union of male and female genes within you."

Upon hearing Yamanaka Kaze's words, Danzo's expression softened considerably.

He decided that once he recovered, he would try this method again.

He refused to believe that a second Wood Release ninja couldn't be created.

Amegakure Village.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

After finishing breakfast, Qianye put on the red-cloud black robe that she hadn't worn in a long time and walked out of the suite.

I unexpectedly ran into Xiao Nan at the stairwell.

"Your daughter's daily necessities all need to be purchased from outside. There's no way to hide it from the masked man. I'll lie to him and say that she's your and Izumi's child." This was the first thing Konan said to Chiya after meeting her.

"Thank you very much then. Here, this is for you." Qianye smiled faintly, pretending to reach into his sleeve, and pulled out two portions of wedding candy that he had prepared beforehand, tossing them to Xiaonan.

Xiao Nan was taken aback. "What is this?"

Qianye smiled and said, "Wedding candy? In my hometown, when a baby is born, we give wedding candy to relatives and friends. One is for you, and one is for the chief."

"Friends and family?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan felt a warm current flow through her heart. She repeated the words, casually tucked the wedding candy into her sleeve, and chuckled, "It seems that you Konoha people really have quite a few customs."

Suddenly, she realized that this womanizer wasn't so bad after all.

Not long after.

The two arrived at the cave outside Amegakure, where the Akatsuki were gathered.

Because the two had talked on the way, they were the last to arrive.

The entire Akatsuki organization was present, including Chiyo's shadow clone and Obito's disguise as Tobi.

Everyone was particularly surprised when they saw the arrival of the second "Thousand Nights".

"Senior Senya, it's been a long time." Senya used a shadow clone, which naturally couldn't be hidden from Obito. Upon seeing Senya, Obito immediately came forward to greet him.

"Yes, it's been a long time." Chiya casually tossed a bag of wedding candy to Obito, and his right hand symbolically formed a hand seal, automatically dissolving the shadow clone standing next to Yekura.

"For the past six months, the ones following me have all been your shadow clones?" Yecang asked, his face filled with disbelief.

Over the past six months, although Qianye always had a "keep away" attitude, she had a deep understanding of just how strong the other party really was.

Who would have thought that such a powerful guy was just a shadow clone of the opponent? No wonder he was so cold.

"Of course, because of certain matters, I applied for a long leave from the leader. In order not to delay the mission, I had no choice but to resort to this measure." Qianye said as he distributed wedding candies to the Akatsuki members.

At that moment, Obito, who had received the wedding candy first, walked over and asked with a grin, "Uh, Senya-senpai, what's this?"

"As you can see, wedding candy," Qianye replied casually.

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone present, except for Pain and Konan who already knew, stared wide-eyed.

"Um... Brother Chiya, are you married?" Deidara asked hesitantly.

"No, not at all." Qianye's words made everyone in the room breathe a sigh of relief, but his next sentence made everyone's jaw drop.

Especially those who brought filial sons and Obito, they subconsciously thought that Chiya and Izumi had already achieved a happy ending.

"I became pregnant out of wedlock, and as you can see, I'm a father now."

Qianye narrowed his eyes. When it was the turn of the mourner, he didn't hand out wedding candy. Instead, he took out a thick red envelope, walked up to Itachi, and handed it to him with both hands, smiling as he said, "Mourner, no, Itachi, since we didn't have enough wedding candy, I'm using a red envelope instead. This is for you."

Itachi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and accepted the red envelope. His gaze towards Chiyo was now tinged with guilt; after all, he had once intended to kill Chiyo and Izumi.

This made Konan and Pain, who were standing nearby, twitch at the corners of their mouths. The concept of "lucky money" also exists in the Naruto world.

It is usually during the New Year that elders give red envelopes to younger generations.

As the only two people present who knew the truth, they did.

Qianye's actions weren't about not having enough wedding candy; it was clearly a way of giving a red envelope to this patricide and matricide son after he had slept with Itachi's mother, acting as her stepfather.

It's pitiful that this filial son is so oblivious to his own shortcomings.

Kakuzu looked at the red envelope in Itachi's hand and it was as if he saw a thick wad of banknotes. Suddenly, the wedding candy in his hand didn't taste so good anymore. He wanted to go up and exchange it with Chiya... but then he remembered that Chiya always ruined his heart, so he didn't have the courage to go up.

Standing next to Kakuzu, Hidan, though usually oblivious, seemed to have suddenly seen through Kakuzu's thoughts. He unwrapped a piece of candy and tossed it into the bowl, then said to Kakuzu with a smug grin, "Kakuzu, if you really want a red envelope that much, why don't you just go ask Senya? If you're too shy, I can ask for you."

"Shut up, or I'll kill you." Kakuzu's green eyes widened as he unleashed a fierce killing intent at Hidan.

Hidan, relying on his immortality, didn't take Kakuzu's words to heart at all, and said with a smile, "Then come and kill me, if you can."

While the immortal duo were bickering, Kisame Hoshigaki, the most polite member of Akatsuki, walked up to Chiya and said respectfully, "I never expected that Mr. Chiya would have a child so soon. As fellow rogue ninja, it's truly enviable. I know that Mr. Chiya enjoys collecting ninjutsu, and this is a small token of my appreciation."

As he spoke, Kisame took a scroll from his sleeve.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet? You're too kind." Chiya put away the scroll and looked at Kisame with some surprise.

Although he had already learned this ninjutsu from the Sarutobi clan's ninjutsu manual, he had never used it in front of others. Kisame's willingness to share his ninjutsu was quite unexpected for Chiya.

"A small gift, nothing more," Kisame replied, silently retreating to Itachi's side.

Once there's a first one, there will naturally be a second.

After Kisame, Deidara presented a clay owl without any chakra.

Sasori gave away a puppet doll and included instructions on how to use the chakra threads.

Kakuzu reluctantly handed over two banknotes.

Hidan offered the Jashin necklace around his neck, but Chiya refused it.

Xiao Nan presented a bouquet of paper flowers.

Since Yekura didn't know what to send, she decided to wait until she went on a mission and buy it outside.

Finally, even the filial son was given a special kunai as a gift.

Although it was soon casually tossed to the mission target by Qianye.

In a short time, what was originally a rare opportunity for Xiao to get together once or twice a year turned into a large-scale exchange event.

This leaves Obito and Pain unclear.

Even they didn't expect that this painstakingly assembled killing group would actually be so harmonious now.

Finally, after a farce, Payne reassigned the tasks.

The group dispersed once again to various parts of the ninja world.
