Haruno Clan, in the brightly lit living room.
The couple Kizashi Haruno and Mebuki Haruno were originally sitting on the sofa watching TV programs, enjoying their leisure time after a day's work.
When the doorbell rang, Meabuki muttered in confusion, "It's so late, who could it be?"
And when she called Gate of Opening and saw the two people standing outside the door, the remote control in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Standing at the door were none other than their daughter Sakura, and...
The Sixth Hokage--Naruto Uzumaki who is now famous in Konoha and even the entire Shinobi World, shrouded in countless halos!
"Fire, Lord Hokage?!"
Mebuki Haruno's voice rose due to extreme shock. She quickly stepped aside and hurriedly invited the two people in, "Quickly, please come in quickly! How... how suddenly..." She looked at her daughter, her eyes full of questioning and disbelief.
Kizashi Haruno also stood up from the sofa and looked at Naruto and Sakura who walked in side by side. He especially noticed the blush on his daughter's face that had not completely faded, the slightly swollen eye sockets, and a trace of unconcealable nervousness and... shyness?
Sixth Hokage next to him had a consistent, gentle, relaxing smile on his face, but his eyes were more solemn than usual.
"Uncle, aunt, good evening, I take the liberty of disturbing you." Naruto spoke proactively, with a polite and natural tone, and even bowed slightly.
"Where is it! It's our family's honor to have Lord Hokage here!"
Kizashi Haruno quickly returned the gift, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Hokage came to visit late at night, together with Sakura... This is definitely unusual.
While he asked Naruto to sit down, he motioned his wife with crazy eyes to prepare tea. At the same time, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about various possibilities - mission? secret? Or... about Sakura?
Why do I always have an ominous premonition?
When a few people sat down in the living room, there was a subtle silence in the atmosphere. Sakura sat next to Naruto, with his hands clasped tightly on his knees, his head lowered, not daring to look into Parents's eyes.
Finally, Naruto broke the silence. He put down the tea cup that Meabuki had brought hastily, sat up straight, looked at Haruno and his wife honestly, and said, "Uncle, aunt, actually I took the liberty of visiting tonight because I have something very important that I want to formally explain to you two."
Kizashi Haruno and Meabuki's hearts were raised at the same time, they had a premonition of something.
Naruto glanced at Sakura who was about to shrink up with nervousness, and continued, "Sakura expressed her feelings to me before about Sakura and me. And I have already accepted Sakura's feelings."
"What--?!" Kizashi Haruno and Mebuki Haruno gasped almost at the same time, their eyes widened, and their mouths opened wide enough to fit an egg in. The impact of this news was no less than when they saw Hokage appear at their doorstep!
Sakura... confessed to Sixth Hokage? And...Lord Hokage agreed?!
Kizashi Haruno was particularly shocked.
About the two young ladies Sixth Hokage Naruto Uzumaki and Yamanaka Clan's daughter Ino and Hyuga Main Family Hinata and He had heard some rumors about the close relationship between Hanabi, Uzumaki's orphan Karin, and the mysterious Uchiha Hikari.
Now, Lord Hokage said it himself that he also agreed to Sakura's confession?!
What does this mean?
An astonishing, even horrifying idea flashed through Kizashi Haruno's mind like lightning, causing him to blurt out, his voice slightly changed due to excitement and disbelief:
"Fire, Lord Hokage! You promised Sakura, and those Girls who were rumored before... combined with the current situation of Konoha..."
He swallowed and seemed to have exhausted all his strength before asking the shocking guess:
"Is it possible... do you want to be Daimyo?!"
In the understanding of Kizashi Haruno and many people in this era, only those Daimyo who stand at the pinnacle of power and rule vast territories are qualified and "need" to marry multiple wives in order to produce heirs.
Although Konoha is now only one of Five Great Shinobi Villages, under the leadership of Sixth Hokage, its strength and influence have far exceeded before, and there is a faint tendency to unify Shinobi World.
If Naruto really intends to become the new Daimyo, then it makes sense that he would marry several at the same time.
Mebuki Haruno was also startled by her husband's bold guess, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed... that it was logically self-consistent?
Otherwise, how to explain that Lord Hokage accepted so many outstanding Girl at the same time?
Just using "emotion" to explain it seems too thin.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became even weirder. Sakura was also shocked. She never expected that her father would think of going in this direction.
She looked at Naruto anxiously, wanting to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
Naruto was also stunned for a moment by Kizashi Haruno's sudden and strange guess. He looked at the Haruno couple's eyes that were mixed with shock, surprise, and a hint of uneasiness, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
He shook his head, with a helpless smile on his face.
"Uncle, you misunderstood."
Naruto's voice is clear and steady, with a convincing power, "I, Naruto Uzumaki, have never thought about becoming Daimyo."
My goal is for Shinobi World to achieve true peace and connection, so that every village and every person can live freely under the sun, not to establish a new dynasty ruled by me."
He paused, glanced at Sakura, and then looked at Haruno and his wife, his eyes extremely serious. "I accept the wishes of Sakura, as well as Ino, Hinata, Guang, and Karin. The reason is very simple but also very complicated.
To put it simply, it's because I like each of them and can't let go of any sincere feelings.
They are all the most important people to me."
"And you don't have to worry about political marriages, consolidation of power, etc..." Naruto smiled, with a hint of his unique, self-confident and almost arrogant light in that smile.
"If I need to rely on marriage to consolidate Konoha or my own status, then I, Hokage, will be a failure.
My strength, the policies I pursue, and the trust and bonds I have established with my companions are the cornerstone for Konoha to become strong and Shinobi World to move toward peace."
He looked at Kizashi Haruno, his tone was gentle but unquestionable. "The future I promised to Sakura is not an empty title of 'Mrs. Hokage' or 'Concubine Daimyo', but As one of the wives of Naruto Uzumaki, she will walk side by side with me and face all challenges and happiness in the future together. I will use everything I have to protect each of them and give them a happy and stable life. I can promise you and auntie this."
Naruto's frank and powerful words were like the spring breeze that blew away the shock and doubts in Kizashi Haruno's heart. He looked at the young but powerful Hokage in front of him, and then looked at the unabashed love and trust in his daughter's eyes when she looked at Naruto, and the Taiseki head in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Not a political tool, not a marriage pawn... it's real, because of feelings.
Kizashi Haruno breathed a long sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on his face, even with a hint of pride. His daughter was actually treated so solemnly and sincerely by Sixth Hokage!
"I see... I just had random thoughts, Lord Hokage, please don't be offended."
Kizashi Haruno scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said seriously, "As long as Sakura is sincerely willing, and you can guarantee your well-being and future responsibility for her... We are doing Parents's work, there is no reason to object.
Sakura is lucky to meet you."
Mebuki Haruno also nodded quickly, his eyes a little moist, feeling reassured and happy for his daughter.
Sakura was so moved that she almost cried again. She held Naruto's hand tightly, as if she was holding the whole world.
