Hardly anyone noticed Sasuke and Karin's movements.
Most people were still watching the stage.
Rin Nohara watched the wedding onstage, her eyes filled with longing.
By then, the two newlywed couples had already finished serving tea.
As customs from various countries influenced one another, someone had suggested adding a bouquet toss as the final event.
The brides would stand with their backs to the guests and toss their bouquets, sharing their happiness and good fortune through the gesture.
Whoever caught a bride's bouquet—especially an unmarried woman—would be seen as the next happy bride, a sign that her own love and marriage were about to arrive.
Seeing Rin Nohara's expression, Kakashi's gaze softened.
He touched the box on his person.
Hatake Sakumo had slipped it to him and told him there would be a bouquet-grabbing event today.
Rin Nohara was already about the right age to get married.
And today's atmosphere was perfect.
After making up his mind, Kakashi silently left behind a Shadow Clone.
He himself slipped toward the front.
Onstage, Tenten and Hinata were already holding their bouquets.
"Next, the two brides will pass their happiness on."
"All unmarried guests, pay attention! Let's see which two people will be the next to find happiness!"
The emcee worked up the atmosphere from the stage.
Below, many unmarried men and women began cheering and egging them on.
Rin Nohara turned to look at Kakashi, but he only looked forward, seemingly with no intention of grabbing a bouquet.
She felt a little unhappy.
Then she consoled herself, thinking it was surely because she was still young. Kakashi had always treated her very well.
Even as Rin felt a faint sense of disappointment,
Tenten and Hinata had already tossed their bouquets.
The other guests were still eagerly waiting for the bouquets to fall.
