Wedding in Progress

Before sunrise, the entire village of Konoha was in an uproar. Everyone was dressed in brand-new clothes and gleaming leather shoes, ready to go to the Uchiha Clan to attend the Fifth Hokage's wedding ceremony.

The three clan leaders, Ino-Shika-Cho, gathered together early in the morning. Nara Shikadai greeted them with a smile, saying, "Inoichi, Choza, you've arrived. Today is the Fifth Hokage's wedding ceremony. Are you both ready?"

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi nodded immediately and said with a serious expression, "I'm ready. It's just a pity that our Yamanaka Clan is a small clan. We usually only buy flowers in Konoha. So I'm prepared to give 20 million yen. How much are you prepared to give?"

Nara Shikadai, being a smart man, immediately said, "Your amount is still too little. You should at least give 100 million, otherwise, it will be difficult to buy flowers in Konoha in the future."

Upon hearing this, Choza smiled and said, "Uncle Torifu asked us to contribute 200 million, saying that this is the beginning of establishing a good relationship with the Uchiha Clan. We must not lose our sincerity. The village must stick close to the Uchiha Clan now, so that we can live better in Konoha in the future."

Upon hearing Yamanaka Inoichi said with an embarrassed expression, "Did you all prepare that much? I'll add some more when I get back, otherwise it'll be really embarrassing."

Nara Shikadai then said with a serious expression, "Last time I heard that the members of the Police Force had already left the village and even robbed a city in the Land of Fire, bringing back nearly 10 billion in assets, which helped Konoha overcome its financial crisis. I guess the Fifth Hokage is going to launch some kind of plan again. However, Konoha has become much stronger now and is no longer the cowardly and incompetent place it used to be."

Nara Shikadai glanced at his two friends, then said with a serious expression, "Last time we were all slow to line up, so we need to make up for it slowly this time. There are still some departments in the village that no one has joined yet. We can send some family members to join the various departments in the village and serve the village."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza nodded directly. Yamanaka Inoichi said with a serious face, "We understand. Konoha is now the Konoha of the Uchiha Clan. We can only follow the Uchiha Clan to get a share of the spoils."

Akimichi Choza spoke directly, "Shikadai, you're smarter than me. I'll do whatever Uncle Torifu asks of me."

Just then, Choji, Shikamaru, and Ino ran over. Choji said excitedly, "Dad, take us too! We gave so many gifts, I should eat more!"

Shikadai immediately said, "Alright, let's go together. Don't say anything out of line." Then, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, along with a portion of their clansmen, headed towards the Uchiha Clan.

Meanwhile, on the Hyuga Clan's side, a large group of the Hyuga Clan ninjas, especially members of the Hyuga Branch Family, many of whom worked in the Police Force, were preparing to head out in small groups towards the Uchiha Clan.

Hizashi Hyuga, having changed into a brand-new long robe, said to Hyuga Dejian, "Prepare two hundred million Ryo as a gift to the Fifth Hokage, as a way of wishing him and Kurenai a long and happy marriage."

Upon hearing the clan chief's words, Jiande immediately replied, "Understood, Clan Head."

Just then, a girl with Byakugan said shyly, "Father, I also want to attend the Fifth Hokage's wedding. Can I come with you?"

Upon hearing Hizashi Hyuga immediately replied, "Alright Hinata, it's time to show you around."

Meanwhile, the other ninja clans of Konoha began preparing monetary gifts for the Fifth Hokage. The clan heads learned from the Police Force that those who gave small gifts would be seated at the main gate with the children; those who ate for free would be seated at the gate with the dogs; and those who didn't attend the Fifth Hokage's wedding were suspected of being spies or Danzo with Danzo.

With this kind of propaganda, many clan leaders felt the pressure. The Fifth Hokage Konoha now an absolute ruler, and if they were to be suppressed by Fifth Hokage, they risked their entire clan being wiped out—a truly ruthless move.

The head of the Aburame Clan, leading a large group of clansmen, headed towards the Uchiha Clan. Along the way, they saw a sea of villagers, all also heading towards the Uchiha Clan.

Aburame Shibi was also shocked, thinking to himself, "The Fifth Hokage truly lives up to his reputation as the strongest Hokage in history. He commands immense respect in the village, and every villager instinctively idolizes Fifth Hokage and unconditionally supports him."

Aburame Torune then said with a serious expression, "The Hokage of Qingcheng is the strongest Hokage of all time. I believe that under his leadership, Konoha will definitely rise again."

Meanwhile, Tsume Inuzuka, along with his daughter and Kiba Inuzuka, headed towards the Uchiha Clan compound.

Tsume Inuzuka said with a smile, "Xiaohua, it's your turn next time. When you marry the Fifth Hokage, you must dress up beautifully and not embarrass the Inuzuka Clan."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Inuzuka Hana smiled gently and said directly, "Today, Konoha is truly celebrating; so many villagers have gone to the Uchiha Clan."

Because today is the Fifth Hokage's wedding, Konoha School is closed, and the garbage-collecting mission in Konoha has been canceled.

Kiba Inuzuka wanted to broaden his horizons and also wanted his mother, Tsume Inuzuka, to take him to the Fifth Hokage's wedding.

Kakashi arrived at Naruto's house early in the morning because Naruto, having learned that Qingcheng was getting married, was insisting on attending and wanted Kakashi to take him.

Kakashi came to find Naruto early in the morning and saw Naruto hugging a doll, snoring in bed, with half a bowl of ramen left on the table.

Kakashi then said, "Kids don't get any nutrition from just eating ramen. I'll bring you some supplies next time. They were all looted by the Police Force in the Land of Fire. It should be enough for you to eat for a long time."

Kakashi, seeing that Naruto was still sleeping, called out again, "Are you going or not? If not, I'm leaving alone."

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto jumped up excitedly and shouted, "I want to go! I also want to ask the Fifth Hokage what brand of hair gel he uses and how he can make his hair so voluminous!"

Kakashi, seeing Naruto's excitement, said directly, "Why don't you ask him again in private? And did you use all the money I gave you to buy hair gel?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto said with a panicked expression, "Of course I didn't buy hairspray, I only used some of the money to buy hairspray."

Naruto ran to the bathroom again, smiling broadly, and said, "I'm going to get the same hairstyle as the Fifth Hokage. Sakura will definitely attend the Fifth Hokage's wedding, and I'll show her what a handsome guy really is."

Kakashi was shocked again, and said with a hint of resentment, "Sensei, your son is quite the romantic, he's really outrageous!"
