Uzumaki Mito was pleasantly surprised. She had been taught that a daughter should obey her husband after marriage, and she had been worried that with Tsunade's fiery temper, no boy would be interested in her granddaughter. She even considered whether she should give him some money.
Now, she felt relieved. Seeing Tsunade's petite and demure demeanor, even she couldn't find fault with her. On the contrary, she felt that the two were a perfect match.
Hashirama also thought Tsunade did the right thing; his granddaughter was indeed well-behaved.
Uchiha Izuna, however, supported Senju Tobirama's idea. He felt that girls should stand up for themselves, and at that moment he stood with Senju Tobirama.
"Tsunade, you need to stand up for yourself. We can't let this kid get too arrogant. A woman can't just listen to her husband all the time when she's in charge of the household!" Uchiha Izuna said solemnly.
Senju Tobirama's eyes lit up; even the seemingly inherently evil Uchiha Izuna didn't look so bad now!
Uchiha glanced at Tobirama, then at Izuna, and sighed helplessly. "Two childish brats."
A glint flashed in Tsunade's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She smiled brightly, remaining silent, but her mind was focused on the words of her Second Grandfather and Izuna.
Uchiha Kō said, "Let's hold the wedding in the village hall. It doesn't need to be too luxurious. Just make sure that each clan leader has a seat and that each clan member has a place to eat."
He didn't want to be extravagant, and as the Hokage, he should set an example by being frugal.
But to everyone's surprise, Uchiha frowned. "No, the venue can be the auditorium, but our Uchiha Clan has not fallen into poverty. Although you have your considerations Hokage, you are Uchiha my eldest grandson, the most honored person in the Uchiha."
Uchiha Izuna nodded in agreement. "Yes, Owl, even if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider Tsunade. She's the princess of the Land of Fire and the Senju clan. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event; how can you be so hasty?"
Senju Hashirama and Uzumaki Mito didn't answer. They didn't care about the scale of the wedding, as long as the young people were happy.
Senju Tobirama nodded. He strongly supported Uchiha Kō's suggestion of frugality, which stemmed from the Second Hokage's political stance.
If the Hokage were too extravagant, his subordinates would follow suit and adopt the same wasteful ways, leading to rampant corruption. He preferred a more frugal lifestyle.
Uchiha Kō helplessly. He looked at Tsunade, Tsunade an eyebrow. She wasn't a clueless girl; she naturally knew that their wedding had both advantages and disadvantages. However, as the Hokage's wife, she should share her husband's burdens.
Tsunade then stood up and bowed to Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna to express her gratitude. This caught the two men off guard, as it was the first time their granddaughter-in-law had bowed to them, making them appear somewhat awkward.
"Get up, child."
"Yes, granddaughter-in-law, we're all family, there's no need for formalities, please get up, please get up."
Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna hurriedly replied, their eyes flashing with anxiety.
"Grandpa Madara, Izuna, I know you mean well and don't want my wedding to seem too cheap, I understand." Tsunade stated her thoughts without blushing or panting.
A hint of tenderness flashed in the eyes of Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna; their granddaughter -Tsunade was quite understanding.
But what they said next made them feel uneasy.
"I believe that the luxury of a wedding is not important. As long as the two people are sincere and love each other, even if it's just a meal with their own family, that's enough."
"So please, my two grandfathers, don't make things difficult for Lord Xiao. I, Tsunade, will be content just to marry him in this life." With that, Tsunade's eyes shone with adoration.
Uchiha Kō was taken aback, looked into Tsunade's eyes, and sighed, "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"
He pulled Tsunade and, in front of everyone, gently kissed her forehead, showing off to everyone present.
"Uh, this..." Senju Hashirama was at a loss. He didn't understand why Uchiha Kō had suddenly kissed him. He scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.
Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna exchanged a glance, and finally nodded, deciding to leave the matter to the younger generation.
Senju Tobirama sighed, then got up and went back into the house. Seeing this, the others said nothing more and went home.
Tsunade blushed. "You can say whatever you want, but how can you kiss in front of so many elders? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Hehe, it's only natural for me to kiss my wife, why can't I?" Uchiha Kō said shamelessly.
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, "Give me a kiss, give me a kiss, I just can't do anything with you~" After the two of them were being affectionate for a while, Tsunade was sent back to her room, while Uchiha Kō headed towards the clan's Earth Flow.
He felt conflicted, and somewhat guilty towards Tsunade, because he had taken Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna's words to heart.
Tsunade, after all, the princess of the Land of Fire and the princess of the Senju Clan. Logically and emotionally, he should give Tsunade a grand wedding, but because of his status as Hokage...
For some reason, Uchiha Kō 'Orochimaru mind, and his eyes lit up. Yes, Orochimaru!
With this in mind, Uchiha Kō went to Orochimaru's laboratory. He knocked on the door, guessing that Orochimaru Uchiha Kō probably still awake.
Sure enough, a voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
Uchiha Kō said, "It's me, Uchiha Kō!"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru immediately walked towards the door, opened it, and welcomed Uchiha Kō inside.
"Lord Hokage, what brings you here? Is there something important you need me to do at this hour?" Orochimaru asked gently.
There's no other way; this is his sugar daddy. If he doesn't serve him well, how can he continue his research?
This tech fanatic has invented refrigerators, televisions, mobile phones, and even a calculator!
"This technology tree is really skewed quite a bit," Uchiha Kō said slowly after entering. "There is a kind of stone called diamond, which is extremely hard and transparent."
Orochimaru's eyes lit up. He had previously read about this in various books that Uchiha Kō had given him, and he had also bought some of them from Iwagakure through merchants.
"Lord Hokage, is this what you're talking about?" Orochimaru walked to his raw material area, took out some transparent stones from a box, and handed them over.
Uchiha Kō was taken aback. Orochimaru's laboratory really had everything! He looked at the one inside that was of the best quality, with the highest transparency and the fewest impurities, and said.
"Orochimaru, I need you to polish, cut, and shape this diamond into this form." With that, Uchiha Kō handed over a blueprint, on which he had drawn the shape of a diamond from memory.
Orochimaru took the blueprints, somewhat puzzled. Wasn't this just a pretty-looking stone? He wondered why it had to be crafted this way.
However, since the Fourth Hokage had spoken, he naturally had to obey, replying, "Yes, Lord Hokage."
Uchiha Kō nodded and handed over the blueprints for two rings, with the specifications written on them. One ring had an inlay, and the other had a dragon carving.
"Once the diamond is finished, set it on the ring with the inlay; the other one won't be needed," Uchiha Kō laughed. "I will pay you one hundred million taels of silver as payment; you can allocate it as you wish."
Orochimaru's eyes lit up. "Please rest assured, Lord Hokage, I will finish all of this in just one day!"
Uchiha Kō nodded and then left the laboratory.
