The next day.
It was the wedding day of Konoha's Fifth Hokage and Uchiha Clan Head, Uchiha Senyo, and Karin.
After last night's fireworks had set the mood, today's wedding celebration was even more unprecedentedly grand.
Early in the morning, Karin had been whisked away to have her makeup done and change outfits.
Senyo could not escape the custom either. For the morning, the two were not allowed to see each other.
Once they had both finished preparing, the first step was to return and pay respects to their ancestors.
The Uchiha ancestral hall held the memorial tablets of many Uchiha forebears.
Of course, Senyo's parents and grandparents were among them as well.
Senyo's mother had passed away not long after giving birth to Ruri. After so many years, coupled with Senyo having lived two lives, he did not have much impression of the original owner's elders.
Still, this body had been given to him by his parents. Today, it was only natural that he pay them his respects.
By custom, Karin also needed to pay respects to her ancestors.
But the Land of Whirlpools had long been destroyed, and there was naturally no way to find where Karin's ancestors were.
After discussing it with Mio, they unanimously decided to honor Uzumaki Mito as a symbol.
Uzumaki Mito had been a princess of the Land of Whirlpools. Whether in status or seniority, she was entirely suitable.
Moreover, she was the Uzushio Village native of the highest verifiable status. (No one could even find where the others' bodies were.)
Tsunade strongly approved of the decision as well. After her grandmother had come to live in Konoha, there had been very few Uzumaki Clan members left.
To Uzumaki Mito, every Uzumaki clansman had been her child.
Senyo and Karin each paid respects
