Naraku's Wedding

Land of Fire

Konoha was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers to celebrate the wedding of the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Nara, and Princess Tsunade.

The once deserted Uchiha Clan Compound welcomed a large number of guests on January 15th, 51st year of Konoha.

Uchiha Nara and Tsunade, dressed in traditional wedding attire from the Land of Fire, walked at the front, surrounded by many children, towards the home of Naraku's father, Uchiha Sanzang.

Those who are unmarried nominally live in the same mansion as their parents. Even though Naraku had already moved out and was living alone, he still followed tradition on his wedding day.

From the Senju Estate to Tsunade, along the way, the Uzumaki Clan and children from Senju Estate Uchiha Clan Compound, as well as countless Konoha, showered flowers upon the Fourth Hokage Uchiha Nara, and Tsunade.

The wedding of the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Nara, and Princess Tsunade was the most joyous event Konoha celebrated after New Year's Day in the 51st year.

"Are you nervous, Tsunade?"

Naraku, holding Tsunade, sensed Tsunade nervousness and couldn't help but whisper a joke in the festive atmosphere.

Wearing her wedding dress, Naraku tightened her grip on Naraku's Tsunade upon hearing his words.

The legendary heroine Tsunade, one of the Sannin Tsunade, became no different from an ordinary woman in this environment, clinging closely to her husband.

Naraku squeezed Tsunade's small hand slightly, reassuring her not to be nervous.

After a short walk, they soon arrived at the residence of Naraku's father, Sanzang.

Red carpets were laid out outside Sanzang's residence, and many round tables were set up for guests to sit and dine. Many clansmen and guests dressed in formal attire stood around.

Bang! Bang!

The Uchiha children at the mansion gate fired salutes for Naraku and Tsunade. After two loud bangs, countless flower petals fluttered in the air, creating a joyous and peaceful scene.

Naraku's parents, Uchiha Sanzang and Uchiha Mei, dressed in traditional Land of Fire attire, sat quietly in the main hall of the mansion, waiting.

Beside her are Tsunade's elders, the previous Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Biwako Sarutobi.

Since Tsunade's blood relatives were all deceased, her mentor and his wife attended the event as Tsunade's parents.

Many of their relatives and friends were also present, including Uchiha Fugaku Hatake Sakumo Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and others, who stood on either side to watch the ceremony.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Biwako Sarutobi, an old married couple, both dressed in traditional Land of Fire attire, smiled as they watched the newlyweds slowly walk in from outside, surrounded by children.

The newlyweds slowly walked to their parents and elders, and bowed slightly in greeting.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is a learned and knowledgeable man who attends as the woman's elder and also plays the role of a priest.

Holding a letter, he stood up and read aloud to the two of them:

"Uchiha Nara and Tsunade, I wish you a lifetime of happiness as a match made in heaven, a promise of eternity, harmony and joy, and a life of perfect bliss. May you be blessed by the gods and live a blissful and fulfilling life!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen a cameo appearance as a priest, offered his congratulations while making a strange gesture on himself, seemingly as a blessing.

Thank you x2

The two newlyweds in the audience expressed their gratitude.

Naraku's father, Uchiha Sanzang, clapped his hands, and a young man in formal attire carried a large tray with several wine cups and a wine jug on it.

In the traditional three-offering ceremony of a wedding in the Land of Fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen, acting as the priest, personally poured sake for the newlyweds, first filling a small cup with sake and then handing it to Naraku.

Naraku took the drink and drank it all in one gulp. Sarutobi Hiruzen refilled the cup and handed it to Tsunade, Tsunade.

Sarutobi Hiruzen poured sake into the small cup for the third time and handed it to Naraku again, Naraku drank it all in one gulp once more.

After completing the first offering of the Three Offerings Ceremony, Sarutobi Hiruzen placed the small cup aside, picked up the medium-sized cup from the tray, filled it with wine, and this time handed it to Tsunade first.

Tsunade took the cup and drank it all in one gulp. Sarutobi Hiruzen another cup of sake and handed it to Naraku, Naraku also drank it all in one gulp. Sarutobi Hiruzen another cup of sake and handed it to Tsunade, Tsunade drank it all in one gulp as well.

After finishing the medium cup, remove it and replace it with a large cup.

Naraku was like a puppet on a string; he accepted the sake cup and drank whatever Naraku Sarutobi Hiruzen offered. Fortunately, when the cup was changed to a larger one, he still drank three cups in rotation.

After completing the three offerings ceremony, Naraku was a little dizzy. He glanced at Tsunade and saw Tsunade she seemed to want more, as if she wanted a couple more drinks.

"Having consulted Heaven and Earth, and paid homage to the Three Realms, the two of us have made this covenant, vowing to be bound together in life and death, never to be separated."

After presiding over the Three Offerings Ceremony, Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared away the wine and loudly proclaimed that the ceremony was over before returning to his seat.

"Cough cough"

Seeing that the two were slightly flushed and motionless, Naraku's father, Uchiha Sanzang, coughed, indicating that the newlyweds could begin reciting their wedding vows.

Naraku and Tsunade realized what was happening, pulled out papers from their pockets, and read aloud together:

"We voluntarily become husband and wife. From this day forward, we will jointly shoulder the responsibilities and obligations that marriage brings us: to be filial to our parents, to educate our children, to respect and love each other, to trust and encourage each other, to understand and forgive each other, to support each other through thick and thin, and to cherish each other for a lifetime!"

From this day forward, whether in good times or bad, whether rich or poor, whether in health or sickness, whether young or old, we will stand together through thick and thin, sharing joys and sorrows, becoming lifelong partners! We will uphold our vows today, and we will certainly be able to uphold them!

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Naraku's parents Uchiha Sanzang and Uchiha Mei, Tsunade's elders Sarutobi Hiruzen and Biwako Sarutobi, as well as the surrounding relatives, friends, and children, all applauded as witnesses to the vow.

Sarutobi Hiruzen presented a cloth-wrapped plant vine that was placed next to his seat with both hands to Uchiha Nara and Tsunade, beginning the ritual of offering tamagushi (a type of scepter).

The jade string is made of strips of cloth or paper wrapped around a branch of a Sakaki tree. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was making a cameo appearance as a priest, handed this to the newcomer.

Naraku and Tsunade took the takoyaki and placed the branch with the Root facing inwards on the takoyaki table.

Then Naraku, Tsunade, along with Uchiha Sanzang, Uchiha Mei, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Biwako Sarutobi, bowed to the gods together.

Naraku completely overwhelmed by the complicated wedding arrangements, while Tsunade, Tsunade to the side, was like a puppet, both of them letting the priests direct and arrange things as they pleased.

After the worship ceremony to the gods was completed, the banquet was announced to begin, and the Uchiha clan members began serving the dishes and drinks on the round table.

Naraku couldn't help but wipe his sweat, glancing at Tsunade beside him, who also had beads of sweat on her forehead. Naraku reached out and wiped the sweat away for Tsunade.

Tsunade glanced at Naraku, her face flushed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very diligent, bringing the newcomer a tray again, with two glasses of sake on it.

Naraku and Tsunade accepted the sake cups offered by Sarutobi Hiruzen and held them in their hands.

"Let's raise a glass to all our family and friends and celebrate this moment!"

Uchiha Sanzang, beaming with pride, invited the guests to raise their glasses in a toast.

Naraku and Tsunade, along with their friends and guests, raised their glasses once again for a toast.

"It's just too much trouble... I won't get married in my next life..."

Naraku was thoroughly exasperated by the red tape, but thankfully, after the drinking session, they began to eat normally.

Against the backdrop of ongoing conflict in the Shinobi World, the wedding of the Fourth Hokage Uchiha Nara, and the Sannin Tsunade, brought many elusive and legendary ninjas into the public eye.

At the family and friends' table, a tall man with white hair, wearing a red cardigan, was for some unknown reason, frantically drinking alcohol, seemingly trying to get drunk...
