"But... that's illegal in Konoha, right?"
Minato finally found his voice and uttered a sentence dryly and with difficulty, trying to use reason to bring back his overly excited wife.
"Konoha's marriage law clearly stipulates that Ninja can only sign a formal marriage application with one person..."
He is Hokage, Naruto is also Hokage. In principle, he should lead by example and abide by the law and village rules.
How can it be allowed to contract with multiple people at the same time?
However, halfway through the words, Minato himself paused.
He looked at his son with a bright smile and unfathomable strength in front of him, and remembered that he had almost done it by himself
Minato opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, such as "Isn't this not dedicated enough to the relationship?" "Are you sure you can balance the relationship between them and not let anyone be wronged?" "Will there be too much pressure on the Hyuga Clan and other families?"... But seeing Kushina look like that, I hate it. He looked elated that he had to take all his "daughter-in-laws" home immediately, and although Naruto was a little embarrassed when his mother held him and rubbed his head, the calmness, firmness and unquestionable determination in his eyes made him finally swallow all the advice and doubts, and turned it into a long sigh full of complicated emotions.
Forget it... my son has his own ideas.
Minato smiled bitterly in his heart, he has his world, his choices, and the responsibilities and consequences he needs to bear.
He shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the bowl of cold soup in front of him, and drank it in one gulp, trying to use the cold liquid to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart.
However, when he put down the soup bowl, he glanced at the dining table again. Karin and Uchiha Hikari were shyly bowing their heads but smiling, Otohime had bulging cheeks, Kaguya was expressionless and had nothing to do with himself, and Black Zetsu was still fighting with the food.
Minato suddenly felt that the pressure of playing chess with the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the kind of pressure related to the survival of the world and the game of power, seemed...
Isn't it so headache-inducing and overwhelming?
At least, if you lose at chess, you might just go to work at Pure Land.
And if we can't handle this complicated family relationship... the consequences are simply unimaginable.
"Anyway, Naruto is already able to take charge of his own business."
"No matter how powerful he Naruto Uzumaki is, he still has to call me daddy when he sees me in the future?"
Konoha, in the private room of a stylish and quiet izakaya.
Under the soft lighting, the air is filled with the mellow aroma of sake.
Two low tables were placed together, filled with exquisite side dishes to go with wine.
Two middle-aged men were sitting opposite each other, both of them were about seventy or eighty percent drunk. Their faces were slightly red, but their eyes were much more relaxed than usual, with a sense of relief.
Exactly Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka.
Hiashi paused, and the "satisfied" smile on his face became more obvious.
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh "hehe" and raised his glass again.
Inoichi Yamanaka couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly. "That's right! Then Kid, no matter how majestic he is, won't he have to call me daddy in the future?"
Hahaha! Come on, cheers."
"Cheers."
Hyuga Hiashi proudly clinked glasses with Inoichi again. Amidst the clear crashing sound, the two drank down the second glass of wine in one gulp, with a smile of victory belonging to their father-in-law on their faces.
The two of them were unwilling to be there before
During this period, Konoha High Command was extremely busy in order to deal with "Life-and-Death Chess Game" one month later.
As the patriarchs of the two wealthy Konoha families, Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka naturally shoulder heavy responsibilities and are under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, Shikaku Nara finally returned to the village not long ago.
As soon as Shikaku came back, he immediately took over a lot of tedious and brain-burning coordination, planning and diplomatic work.
His wisdom and meticulous thinking, which are far beyond ordinary people, are like the most precise lubricant, allowing the Konoha machine that was originally a little tight and sluggish to operate efficiently again.
The burden on Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka's shoulders suddenly became lighter, and they could finally take a breath.
Today the two met by chance outside Hokage Building. They looked at each other and smiled tacitly and hit it off immediately.
"Let's go have a drink!"
After a few glasses of sake, in the slightly tipsy atmosphere, the burden of identity that usually requires caution in words and deeds was temporarily removed.
The topic naturally turned from official duties and war preparations to their precious daughter and the bastard Kid who "kidnapped" their daughter.
At first, I might still be a little angry, but after a few rounds of drinking, especially with the relief of Shikaku's return and the sudden reduction in pressure, this mood gradually changed.
Think about it, who is Kid? It's Naruto Uzumaki! It's Sixth Hokage!
He is a peerless strong man who single-handedly almost unified Shinobi World and silenced all major countries!
Such a son-in-law is definitely the only one in heaven and on earth!
Hyuga Hiashi The more I think about it, the more I feel that my Two Daughters has really bad taste!
Inoichi Yamanaka has the same idea. Ino is smart, capable, and cheerful. Being able to get together with Naruto also proves the excellence of her daughter.
The more they chatted, the happier they became, and gradually they both drank too much.
"Speaking of which," Inoichi put down his wine glass, picked up some side dishes with chopsticks, and said with some emotion, "Shikaku, that guy, he dived into the pile of documents when he came back, and he was even busier than us.
The same goes for his Shikamaru. I heard that Naruto and Kid captured the young man. It is said that he is planning some big chess game... He doesn't even have time to be an examiner."
"Hmph, they Nara Clan are just worried about their lives."
Hyuga Hiashi burped and waved his hand, "But with them here, we can save a lot of worry.
Come on, leave them alone, let's drink ours!"
"Yes, drink!"
Inoichi raise your glass.
"For... well, for us to be 'Sixth's father' from now on!"
"Hahaha! Well said! For 'Sixth his father'! Cheers!"
Two drunken future father-in-laws clinked glasses happily again in the private room of an izakaya over this somewhat absurd but extremely real "common identity". Their laughter was filled with complex emotions that were mixed with pride, relief, and a hint of "taking advantage of the sky".
Tianzang in the dark looked at the two drunk middle-aged men speechlessly.
Even if you eat a peanut, you won't end up drinking like this.
The two of them ordered a table of food and drank without taking any food. They were drunk before half an o'clock.
The dish has not been touched yet.
I haven't eaten yet, so I'll wait for my teammates who will take over the shift to come and visit Yakiniku Q later.
Recently Tenten has been watching the activities in the village and hasn't had barbecue for a long time.
