One week later, on August 8th, Konoha Year 26.
On this auspicious day, the sun rose as usual, slowly tearing a hole in the black sky from the east.
As the sky changed color, below in the dense forest...
Inside a room on the second floor of Senju Toka's residence.
Today's protagonist, Uka Senju by the window.
I watched the sun gradually rise in the east and the sky slowly brighten.
The thought suddenly popped into his head how wonderful it would be if time could stand still here.
In my previous life, I lived for decades but never got to experience marriage.
This is undeniably a pity, but thankfully, it's only a regret for myself.
In less than ten years of his life, he made up for this regret, and he did it three times at once!
He didn't experience any extra emotions upon learning the news.
However, when the day of their engagement actually arrived, he suddenly felt a little scared and flustered.
He enjoyed the blessings of having three wives.
Okay?
good!
But that means three responsibilities at once!
The world I live in now is not the peaceful world of my previous life.
This is the Shinobi World.
It's a place without law, justice, human rights, and fairness; a place where individual power reigns supreme!
He and his wives also held the most dangerous profession in the world: Ninja.
The place they lived in was called Konoha.
It's that village in the story that was destroyed several times!
The Jiyang Institute within his clan constantly reminded him of the cruelty of this world. Even the Senju, a powerful clan in the Shinobi World, could not avoid the most common thing in the Shinobi World: death.
Thinking about all this, Uka Senju suddenly felt that the month of arduous training she had undergone was not arduous enough.
My strength is still not enough!
He attributed all these emotions to his own lack of power.
If he had already become Six Paths at this point, he would have become the Ōtsutsuki.
Will these pointless fears and panics still exist?
No, absolutely not!
There's still time, another year and a half.
I must cherish the days I spent growing up under the protection of my Clan.
I must quickly acquire enough power to control my own destiny!
Beside her was Senju Chiharu, who had come in to wake Uka.
Watching the little man, who had lost his guard and was already sitting silently by the window, gazing at the sky in deep thought.
Looking into his eyes, I saw the panic and fear, which gradually turned into determination.
A genuine smile appeared on her face, mirroring Uka's emotions.
After today.
Her fate would soon be inextricably linked with that of the young man before her.
So, little Uka-kun, you need to work hard!
Downstairs, the plan was for Chiharu to call Uka down to prepare.
Unexpectedly, after they left, neither of them made a sound.
Somewhat puzzled, Senju Toka went upstairs.
I looked at the two people inside, one intently gazing at the sky, the other staring blankly at someone.
She rolled her eyes, speechless, and interrupted, "What are you two looking at instead of coming down?"
"After today, you'll have plenty of time to look at each other, until neither of you wants to look anymore."
"Get down there right now and get ready! A whole bunch of people are waiting for you downstairs!"
Upon hearing the sudden sound, the two people, who were lost in their own inner world, instantly snapped back to reality.
Looking at the people in front of her and behind her, Senju Chiharu's fair face instantly turned a lovely red.
She forced herself to remain calm and placed the clothes she was carrying on Uka's bed.
Then she turned to Senju Toka and bowed her head apologetically.
She took a few quick steps and ran out of the room that left her feeling awkward.
The Aunt's sudden voice startled Uka Senju, who quickly turned her head back.
But then he saw the girl's shy expression and her actions to save herself.
I felt like laughing at the same time.
A great sense of satisfaction welled up within him.
But this feeling came quickly and went quickly!
He noticed that his Aunt's gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous.
So Uka Senju quickly got up, grabbed the new clothes that Chiharu had left on the bed, and put them on.
In my Aunt's impatient gaze.
He quickly put on his new clothes and hurried downstairs.
"Smack!"
As his nephew passed by.
Senju Toka couldn't resist slapping him on the back of the head.
If I don't call him today, my nephew will get engaged.
If we wait until later to take action, someone will be unhappy!
So, taking advantage of this last chance, she carefully recalled that familiar feeling.
Watching the boy stumble slightly before running even faster, Senju Toka followed him down the stairs with satisfaction.
Sunlight streamed down, and the sky was a deep blue.
Time slowly ticked down to 9 o'clock.
After being tidied up by specially hired people.
Wearing a black kimono, a patterned pleated skirt, and holding a folding fan, Uka Senju was also led by her clansmen to the door of the council hall.
At this moment, the Senju Clan Compound was decorated with various items, making it extremely festive.
Seeing that the time had come, the Senju Clan Members had no missions to perform led their families and children toward the palace complex where the council hall was located.
This place, besides its daily meetings, also houses the history and glory of the Senju Clan.
Therefore, the engagement banquet for Wood Release and his three wives was unanimously decided by the clan members to be held here!
Because of the choice of this location.
The allied clans and many smaller clans of Konoha who were willing to attach themselves to the Senju also sent their clan leaders or high-ranking members with carefully prepared gifts to offer their congratulations.
After bowing nearly a hundred times, Uka Senju breathed a long sigh of relief.
During that hour, almost everyone who came was from the Senju Clan Members, so as the male protagonist, he had to endure the hardship.
Fortunately, most of the people he needed to treat with respect had already entered the venue, so things would be much easier from now on.
"Haha, are you tired? Don't worry, it'll be over soon!" The Sixth Elder, who had been sent by the clan to greet the guests with the male protagonist, comforted the boy beside him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Uka Senju nodded gently.
The significance of my own engagement is so great that the clan has made such a big deal out of it.
He had already made corresponding preparations for this.
However, no matter how much he prepared himself, he was still exhausted from an hour of smiling and bowing.
Looking at Uka, who was greeting guests at the door, one could see that the current clan leader and the Sixth Elder had been having a pleasant conversation in the Yuhi.
Yuhi Katsuyo and Yuya stepped forward to congratulate her, saying, " Uka, congratulations!"
Hearing this, and looking at the scarred-faced teacher in his casual clothes, he thought about the days they had spent together.
Although Uka Senju was very surprised by what had happened on the Yuhi of this short week.
But he first smiled and bowed to his former teacher, now an ally.
Having received several groups of minor clans, he had a general idea of Sixth Elder's attitude.
