Uchiha Sakuya picked up Ton-ton gently.
The little pig tried to struggle at first, but the moment it looked into Sakuya's crimson eyes, it calmed down immediately, almost melting into her arms.
The mission office attendant swallowed hard.
His hands trembled slightly as he asked,
"Is this Uchiha Chiga sama's daughter, Princess Sakuya?"
Hoshina jumped excitedly and tugged on Sakuya's floating leg.
"Sakuya, he called you Princess!"
Sakuya smiled softly.
She handed Ton-ton to the attendant, who snapped out of his daze and quickly presented the mission reward.
Naruto leaned over and noticed immediately that the reward was far higher than what a C–rank mission should offer.
For Sakuya, however, the amount was nothing more than loose change.
She opened her Door Door Space, placing the Ryō inside with casual ease.
Her use of this "space ninjutsu" made the surrounding ninja twitch visibly.
Naruto sighed deeply.
"As expected of Kaguya sama's daughter."
Sasuke nodded with a faint look of pride.
No matter what, Uchiha Sakuya carried the Uchiha name.
With the mission complete, Sakuya wanted to return home.
Naruto originally planned to escort her, but she refused politely.
After bidding everyone farewell, she disappeared in an instant, a small stone left on the floor where she once stood.
Sakuya's mastery over her Ope Ope no Mi–based spatial technique had grown sharper.
She had swapped places with a stone in her own yard.

Arriving home, Sakuya bounced joyfully toward Chiga, who stood in the garden.
She eagerly recounted everything that happened during her mission.
Chiga listened with a warm smile.
He lifted her into his arms and tapped her nose playfully.
"You can already take on missions by yourself. Sakuya is truly incredible."
Sakuya giggled happily.
She rubbed her cheek against Chiga's chest, acting like an affectionate kitten in his arms.
After they played together for a while, Chiga suddenly asked,
"Sakuya, do you want to visit other worlds with me?"
"Other worlds? I want to go anywhere, as long as Dad is there."
Those words pierced straight into Chiga's heart.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.
"As long as you want it, Dad will always be with you."
"Mm…"
After informing Kaguya, Chiga brought Sakuya back to the Holy Land Palace of the One Piece world.
Today, Nerona was staying inside the palace as usual, and Yamato had also come to play.
Their posture was… strange.
Nerona was riding on Yamato's shoulders, gripping her horns tightly.
"Tell me already! What does Chiga have in the other world? Stop keeping me waiting!"
Yamato folded her arms proudly.
Watching Nerona's frustrated face amused her far too much.
She no longer minded Nerona treating her like a mount, since Nerona's Smooth Smooth ability made her nearly impossible to catch anyway.
Chiga finally had enough.
"Hey, what are the two of you doing? Can't you act a little more dignified?"
"Master?"
Yamato's face lit up the moment she spotted him.
She shook her head abruptly, and Nerona went flying, landing on the ground before sliding across the polished floor like a skipping stone.
"Pfft!"
Sakuya, resting in Chiga's arms, burst into laughter.
She pointed at Nerona with sparkling eyes.
"That big sister is so funny."
Yamato trotted over.
Her amber eyes studied Sakuya with open curiosity.
Sakuya wasn't shy at all and simply stared back.
The sight of the two white-haired girls, one tall and one small, examining each other made Chiga smirk.
Nerona slid back toward them effortlessly, courtesy of her own ability.
She asked curiously,
"Chiga, the child in your arms…"
Before she could finish, Yamato lifted her up again and declared proudly,
"Master! This must be your child."
"nani?"
Nerona froze.
Then she noticed Sakuya's unique eyes.
That alone revealed the truth.
Sakuya waved her small hand cheerfully.
Yamato and Nerona quickly straightened their appearance, and Chiga used the moment to briefly introduce Sakuya to them.
Once ready, Nerona stepped forward and smiled kindly.
"Hello, little one. Can you tell Auntie your name?"
She didn't mind calling herself "Auntie".
"My name is Uchiha Sakuya."
"A lovely name."
"Hehe. Dad gave it to me."
Nerona wanted to say more, but Yamato lifted her effortlessly and shouted,
"Sakuya, Sakuya, you finally came out! I was around when your Mom was pregnant. How is Big Sister Black?"
"Big Sister Black? You mean Black Zetsu? She's doing well. She even talked about you."
"Haha, really? I should visit her. But you have to call me Auntie too, just like Auntie Nerona."
Sakuya simply nodded.
Chiga said,
"Alright. There will be plenty of time later. Sakuya, go explore with your two Aunties for now."
He purposely emphasized "Aunties".
Nerona didn't mind, but Yamato's smile brightened noticeably.
She understood what it meant.
By evening, Kalifa and the others returned to the Holy Land Palace.
They were stunned at first, but quickly accepted Sakuya.
As Chiga's only daughter, she instantly became the center of everyone's affection.
Compared to Konoha, the Holy Land Palace was much livelier, and Sakuya seemed to enjoy it here greatly.
Kalifa stood beside Chiga, watching Sakuya giggle as the women played with her.
"Boss, I didn't expect you to suddenly bring the child home."
Chiga folded his arms, smiling as he watched Sakuya.
"It was going to happen eventually. With Sakuya here, I don't want to wander around anymore."
Kalifa placed her hands on her hips teasingly.
"Oh my, it seems your daughter is more effective than all of us combined. Couldn't we keep the Boss's heart before?"
Chiga wrapped an arm around her waist gently.
"How could that be? I have already prepared a home. From now on, everyone will live together."
