After saying goodbye to Ōnoki, Didaze returned home.
Nanako was eating breakfast at that moment.
" Nanako!"
Didaze walked forward with a smile.
"Big... brother, where were you just now?"
Nanako said somewhat indistinctly.
"I asked Uzumaki Hiko and Ōnoki to be our elders, since we are both orphans."
Didaze patted Nanako's head.
"And I've told you so many times, stop calling me 'big brother'!"
Didaze then pretended to be angry.
"Husband!"
Nanako shouted happily.
"You don't have any objections to Uzumaki Hiko being your elder, do you?"
Didaze then asked Nanako a question.
"No problem at all! To be honest, even if you didn't go, I would still go to see Elder Hiko!"
Nanako said happily.
" Elder Hiko is really good to me, so very good!"
Nanako added a sentence.
"Is that so?"
Didaze nodded with some relief.
It seems that Nanako also considers Uzumaki Hiko to be like a father figure.
Although Nanako didn't say it, Didaze could tell.
"If that's the case, then things will only get worse."
Didaze patted Nanako's head and said gently.
"Um..."
Nanako leaned on Didaze's shoulder, her long red hair covering Didaze's back.
The fact that Didaze was about to get married was known to almost everyone in Iwagakure.
Many women even cried because Didaze was getting married.
Three days later
Didaze, dressed in a black suit, stood at the door to greet guests.
It wasn't that he had to do it alone, but rather that Didaze didn't want to disappoint his friends.
After all, given the choice between personally handing the gift to the groom and giving it to a complete stranger, most people would probably choose the former.
Didaze thought so too.
"Teacher!"
Reigyō and Watanabe Kawa arrived first and bowed to Didaze as soon as they came up.
"What are you two doing...?"
Didaze glanced at their clasped hands.
"As you can see, Reigyō and I are together."
Watanabe Kawa scratched his head.
"That's great. You must treat Reigyō well from now on. If you don't, I'll drag you out of bed at dawn for extra practice!"
Didaze said to Watanabe Kawa jokingly.
"Teacher, don't worry, I definitely won't let Reigyō down! If I do, may Heaven..."
Watanabe Kawa raised his hand to swear, but Reigyō covered his mouth.
"Teacher, ignore him, he's still not quite right in the head!"
Reigyō tightly covered Watanabe Kawa's mouth, then smiled and said to Didaze.
"This is a gift from Watanabe Kawa to you!"
Reigyō handed Didaze a small badge that read "Team One".
Not only are Nanako and Didaze on it, but even Reigyō and Watanabe Kawa are on it.
"It took Watanabe Kawa and me two days to make this. You have no idea how difficult it is."
Although Reigyō was complaining, her eyes were full of pride.
"How thoughtful of you! Nanako and I will cherish this gift."
Didaze carefully pinned the badge to his clothes.
"Teacher, this... this isn't appropriate, is it?"
Watanabe Kawa was somewhat bewildered as he watched Didaze pin the badge to his suit.
"What's wrong with that?"
Didaze said with a smile.
"This represents the camaraderie we formed in our Team One, and that's more important than anything else."
Didaze spoke earnestly to the two of them.
"Teacher..."
Watanabe Kawa and Reigyō instantly had tears in their eyes.
After chatting with Didaze for a while, the two entered the hall.
After that were Didaze's ordinary comrades, such as his teammates from the Fourth Shinobi World War.
The number of these people was considerable, so Didaze chose a very large location.
This place wasn't originally intended to be a dining area; it was originally an open space. However, for Didaze's wedding, Earth Release ninjas worked around the clock to urgently construct a huge hall.
The hall is filled with dining tables, numbering no less than five hundred.
It's you guys!
Didaze received many guests, but they were all just casual acquaintances.
After half an hour, Didaze finally saw a few familiar faces again.
"Haha, congratulations! By the way, my son was here earlier, wasn't he?"
Watanabe Tora laughed heartily at Didaze.
"I've been here!"
Didaze replied with a smile.
"Give this Chakra Short Blade to your future child."
Watanabe Kawa pulled out a Chakra Short Blade and handed it to Didaze.
"No need, no need, this gift is too expensive. Something simple will do!"
Didaze repeatedly waved his hands in refusal.
While this item wasn't difficult for him to obtain, it wasn't for Watanabe Tora.
"That's too much! I gave it to the child!"
Watanabe Tora directly handed the Chakra Blade to Didaze.
Didaze had no choice but to accept it.
"That's more like it!"
Watanabe Tora watched as Didaze took the item, laughed heartily, and then stepped into the hall.
Meanwhile, Watanabe Tora's confidants, such as Red Boar, also sent some other gifts, which were quite valuable to them, but were just average to Didaze.
However, Didaze still treated them very warmly, after all, they had really gone to great lengths to spend money.
When it came to Silver Rabbit, also known as Umu, the art style changed drastically.
"These are the baby's diapers, these are the baby's clothes, these are the baby's..."
Umu somehow managed to get her hands on a bunch of baby stuff and handed it all to Didaze.
"I just got married..."
Didaze looked at Umu with some helplessness, then handed the items to the person responsible for collecting them.
"Isn't this all so that your future children will have something to use...?"
Umu looked at Didaze, then smiled and stepped into the hall.
She had always believed she would never fall in love with anyone, but when she met Didaze, she felt a flutter in her frozen heart.
But before she could turn that feeling of excitement into love, Didaze had already gotten married.
This made Umu feel disappointed, but what's done is done.
She is not a woman who cannot live without love.
" Umu is really something..."
Looking at Umu's expression, Didaze knew that she probably had some special feelings for him.
This wasn't Didaze being narcissistic; rather, he saw the same expression in the other person's eyes as he had seen in Nanako before.
" Didaze!"
Just as Didaze was deep in thought, a shout from behind pulled him back to reality.
