515 Starting from One Piece

Sakuya picked up Tonton. At first, Tonton still wanted to struggle a bit, but the moment it saw Sakuya's eyes, it immediately quieted down.

The agency manager swallowed hard. Trembling, he asked…

"Could this be Kaito-sama's daughter, Princess Sakuya?"

Hoshina jumped up, tugging at Sakuya's little leg that was floating in the air, shouting,

"Sakuya, he called you a princess!"

Sakuya gave a faint smile. She handed the Tonton in her arms to the manager. The manager snapped out of it and immediately took out the mission reward.

Naruto glanced over and realized that the reward far exceeded the level of a C-rank mission.

Of course, for Sakuya this reward was nothing more than petty change. She opened the Room space and placed the money inside.

That display of "spatial ninjutsu" made everyone present twitch their eyelids again.

Naruto sighed,

"As expected of Kaito-senpai's daughter."

Sasuke nodded in agreement, a trace of pride appearing on his face. No matter what, Sakuya bore the Uchiha name.

After completing the mission, Sakuya wanted to go home. Naruto originally wanted to escort her, but she said there was no need. After politely saying goodbye to everyone, Sakuya flickered and disappeared from the agency, leaving only a stone behind.

Sakuya was becoming more and more proficient with the spatial ability of the Op-Op Fruit. Just now, she had swapped her position with a stone in her own yard.

Back home, Sakuya bounced her way to Kaito, who was standing in the courtyard, happily telling him about the mission she did today.

Kaito listened with a smiling squint. He lifted Sakuya up, tapped her little nose, and said with a laugh,

"So you can already finish missions on your own? Sakuya, you're amazing!"

Sakuya giggled and rubbed her soft, fair little face against Kaito's chest like a spoiled kitten.

After father and daughter played for a while, Kaito suddenly asked,

"Sakuya, want to go see another world with Dad?"

"Another world? Sure! As long as Dad is there, I can go anywhere!"

That line struck right at Kaito's heart. He lowered his head and kissed Sakuya's forehead, speaking softly,

"Alright. As long as you want it, Dad will always stay by your side."

"Mm..."

After informing Kaguya, Kaito took Sakuya back to the palace in the One Piece world.

Today, besides the shut-in Shalria, there was also Yamato, who came to play with her.

Their posture was a bit improper—Shalria was sitting on Yamato's shoulders, grabbing her two horns with both hands and shouting,

"Tell me! What exactly does Kaito have in that other world? Stop being so secretive!"

Yamato folded her arms with a smug expression. She loved seeing that flustered look on Shalria's face.

With the slippery nature granted by Shalria's fruit, she was like an eel—far too hard to catch.

Kaito really couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke in annoyance,

"Hey! What are you two doing? Can you behave a little?"

"Eh?"

The moment Yamato saw Kaito, she brightened with joy. She suddenly shook her head, sending Shalria flying off. With a pop, Shalria hit the ground and slid far away thanks to her ability.

"Pfft!"

Sakuya, in Kaito's arms, couldn't help laughing at the scene. She pointed at Shalria and said,

"She is so funny!"

Yamato stomped over to Kaito, her large amber eyes staring at little Sakuya. Sakuya didn't shy away and stared right back.

The two white-haired figures—one big, one small—were nearly pressing their faces together. Kaito didn't intend to separate them; the scene looked amusing to him.

Shalria slowly slid back over. Curious, she asked,

"Kaito, this child you're holding is…"

Before she could finish, Yamato suddenly lifted her head and said,

"This must be your child!"

"Nani?"

Shalria was stunned. Then she looked at Sakuya. Those bewitching eyes already explained everything.

Sakuya waved her little hand to greet them both.

Realizing the situation, Yamato and Shalria hurried to fix their clothes, messy from fooling around. Kaito used the moment to briefly introduce Sakuya.

After tidying up, Shalria spoke first with a gentle expression toward Sakuya,

"Hello, little girl. Can you tell Auntie your name?"

She naturally called herself "Auntie," not feeling it made her seem older. Based on status, she was on the same generational level as Kaguya anyway.

"My name is Uchiha Sakuya!"

"Sakuya? What a lovely name!"

"Ehehe, Daddy gave it to me."

Shalria still wanted to say more, but Yamato had already lifted her up and shouted,

"Sakuya, Sakuya! You finally came out! I was around when your mom was pregnant, you know! How's Zetsu doing?"

"Kuro? You mean Sister Zetsu, right? She's fine! She even mentioned you to me!"

"Ha! Really? I must visit her someday! But you have to call me Auntie, okay? Just like Auntie Shalria!"

Sakuya didn't question it—she simply nodded obediently.

Kaito spoke up,

"Alright, there'll be plenty of chances like this later. Sakuya, go walk around with these two 'Aunties' first."

Kaito deliberately emphasized the word "Aunties." Shalria didn't care, but Yamato's smile grew even brighter—because she understood what it meant: Kaito acknowledged her position.

...

By evening, Kalifa and the others also returned to the palace.

They were stunned for quite a while upon learning Sakuya's identity, but quickly accepted it. As Kaito's only daughter, the adorable Sakuya naturally became everyone's little darling.

Compared to Konoha, the palace was far livelier, and Sakuya seemed to really enjoy the environment here.

Kalifa stood beside Kaito, watching Sakuya surrounded by the others, and said with a smile,

"Boss, I didn't expect you to suddenly bring your child back."

Kaito crossed his arms, eyes filled with warmth as he watched Sakuya play with the others. He spoke softly,

"It was only a matter of time. With Sakuya here, I don't want to keep running around."

Kalifa put her hand on her waist and teased,

"My my, looks like a daughter really is the most effective. None of us could keep the boss's heart, huh?"

Kaito's lips curved into a smile. He gently pulled Kalifa into his arms and said softly,

"How could that be? I've already prepared a place. In the future, we'll all live there together."
