In the Same Vein

Qingcheng looked at the wedding dresses Yugao had chosen for her; they were all in the style of God Robes, some red, some bright red, and some white.

Qingcheng immediately took a liking to a red one, thinking it was very festive and perfect for wearing on joyous occasions.

Kurenai Yuhi also chose her favorite dress, a red and white wedding gown that looked very gorgeous.

Wearing the dress, Kurenai Yuhi looked at herself in the mirror with her big pink eyes sparkling, and said happily, "Anko Mitarashi, do you think this dress looks good?"

At this time, Anko Mitarashi was also more than a month pregnant. Because she was carrying quadruplets, her belly was quite obvious. However, holding two dumplings in her hand, she said with a smile, "Of course it looks good! Sister Kurenai, you have such good taste! When you wear this dress, you will definitely be the most beautiful bride in Konoha."

Seeing the girls exchanging pleasantries, Qingcheng smiled and said, "Take a look first. If you don't think it's good enough, make your own decision. I'm going to the Hokage Building."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Anko Mitarashi smiled and said, "Yes, Fifth Hokage! I will definitely plan your wedding to be beautiful!"

Looking at Qingcheng 'Anko Mitarashi plump figure, Qingcheng chuckled and said, "Eat fewer dumplings! You're really going to turn into a red bucket. Sweets are the easiest way to gain weight."

Upon hearing this, Anko Mitarashi said with an embarrassed expression, "Qingcheng, I'm working hard to improve my Yin Seal. I'll master this Ninjutsu soon, and then I won't have to worry about my body deforming anymore."

After saying that, Anko Mitarashi stuffed two more skewers of meatballs into her mouth and began chewing them heartily.

Not only Anko Mitarashi, but also Yugao and Kurenai Yuhi were practicing the Strength of a Hundred Seal. Qingcheng secretly injected them with the Second-Generation Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine, greatly increasing their strength.

Yugao originally only possessed fire-style Chakra, and even then, it was only the Chakra level of a typical Chunin, roughly the same as Uchiha Sasuke's Chakra.

However, since receiving the Second-Generation Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine, her Chakra reserves have reached the level of a Jonin. If she trains for a while longer, Yugao's Chakra reserves will at least reach the level of Elite Jonin.

With the addition of Hashirama's vaccine, which granted her both water and earth Chakra, as well as Yang Release Chakra, Yugao was also qualified to train in Strength of a Hundred Seal.

Kurenai Yuhi's improvement was even more pronounced. Already possessing the strength of Special Jonin, after receiving the Enhancement Vaccine, her Chakra reached the Elite Jonin. Furthermore, with the addition of Water Release and Earth Release Chakra, Kurenai Yuhi no longer only trained in Genjutsu but also in Earth Release Ninjutsu and Water Release Ninjutsu simultaneously. She had transformed from a Genjutsu- focused ninja into an all-around ninja.

At the same time, Kurenai Yuhi is also training in Strength of a Hundred Seal and has ventured into Medical Ninjutsu, making her a multi-talented individual with the potential to become a powerful, all-around ninja.

Yugao also heard the sounds in the courtyard and said with a serious expression, "Meiling is coming from her parents' home. Qingcheng, do you want to go and pick her up? She's been gone for more than half a month, and I've started to miss her."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng laughed and said, "You guys want to play mahjong, don't you? We're always short one player, and Inuzuka Hana is in the Inuzuka Clan, so you can only play Dou Dizhu. Are you tired of Dou Dizhu?"

Entertainment options in the Shinobi World are limited; most of the time is spent playing cards or reading novels. And all these novels are written by Jiraiya —they're all erotic novels. Otherwise, given Jiraiya's level of writing, Qingcheng wouldn't have bothered with them. But having something to read is better than nothing."

Female ninjas have even fewer forms of entertainment. Most of their time is spent shopping, playing cards, discussing cosmetics, or gossiping. If they're unmarried, they spend most of their time talking about handsome men.

Upon hearing this, Yugao smiled and said, "No, I was just thinking of you. You wouldn't want a pregnant woman running around everywhere, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng laughed and said, "Meiling's mahjong skills are comparable to Tsunade's. As expected of the Senju Clan, they are practically of the same lineage. However, she always loses when she gambles. The tuition fees she's paid for her must be over 20 million, right?"

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Yugao shook her head and said with a smile, "That's definitely more than that. At least 30 million of them were lost to me alone out of a total of 50 million."

Qingcheng laughed and said, "No wonder you often miss him; you're looking into his pockets."

Meanwhile, members of the Police Force were using megaphones to announce throughout the streets that the Fifth Hokage was getting married to Jonin Kurenai Yuhi next Sunday, and that all the Konoha should bring their wedding gifts to the Uchiha Clan's banquet.

Upon hearing this, the villagers' faces were filled with embarrassment, and they thought to themselves, "The Fifth Hokage is getting married, but unfortunately we're broke and can't afford to give him a wedding gift."

Some members of powerful ninja clans spoke up directly, saying, "The Fifth Hokage is getting married. We must offer a large red envelope this time and try to sit in the main seat. Only then can we win the Hokage's heart."

A group of elementary school students who were collecting trash heard members of the Police Force announcing the news through a megaphone in various corners of the street. They excitedly exclaimed, "Hokage is getting married! But we're just elementary school students; we don't have any money to give as a wedding gift!"
