The next morning, Masahiko walked out of her room with a pair of panda eyes and went to the clan meeting hall.
Along the way, one of the Clan Members who was doing the morning exercise gave him the usual cold stare, but Masahiko, who was in a good mood, did not notice him.
In the hall, Masahiko found herself the first to arrive. Because of his excitement somehow, he came too early.
Except for a few people who were responsible for cleaning the place, the intended participants had not yet come.
The new meeting will begin in the afternoon, which is still two hours away, another hour after that, when the escort team will arrive to accompany Mito to the Senju residence.
His mind was excited, but his body was too tired. After all, it was still too early, and Masahiko fell asleep in her chair.
Two hours passed quickly, and the meeting attendant had arrived. These people were the true elites of the clan, high-ranking people who were mostly old men. In other words, everyone here is stronger than Masahiko.
The other officers had noticed that Masahiko was sleeping, they had said nothing; just heeded it with a smile, maybe they were just used to it.
After a while, the Patriarch and the three elders entered the room. Then they sat in the highest seat. The patriarch (clan leader) coughed, and the silent one controlled the hall. When he was about to speak, he noticed that Masahiko was sleeping and could not help but say:
“Uncle, wake! Why do you always sleep?!”
“Hah..?” Masahiko said, and everyone could see two dark circles around his eyes.
“Pfftt.” One of the clans couldn't help but laugh and then burst out laughing. Everyone inside the meeting hall started smiling and laughing together, while Masahiko was still dreaming.
“OK, please hold yourself, and let's start this meeting.” The patriarch immediately began a meeting to calm the situation.
“Any time the team from Senju clan will arrive to escort Mito to the wedding party, let's greet them in the best way.”
“Yes, this marriage will bring us closer to the Senju clan. In this chaotic era of war, this will play a major role in our safety. Everyone should remember this.” One of the elders answered.
The second elder glanced at Masahiko, then said, “Patriark, we believe in your wisdom in handling this event. And we believe that you understand that this is an important matter for our clan because you are the wisest of us. But is it safe to send only one person from our clan to escort the bride?”
“I'm sure it won't be a problem. The protection of the bride is the responsibility of the Senju. We don't have to worry about it. Masahiko-Dono will look after Mito, and wait for him to settle down with Senju. After one, or just say it for more than a few months, if Uncle thinks the situation is sorted out, he will return. ” The patriarch replied, pretending not to listen to the ridicule of the other Elders.
The third elder glanced at Masahiko with a hint of dissatisfaction, and when he was about to say something, the Patriarch looked at him. He stopped there, and then he leaned back in his chair and sighed softly.
“It looks like the third elder has nothing more to say, is there anything else?” Patriarch Said.
Masahiko seemed to ignore the discussion as if it had nothing to do with him. He thought to himself, that damned “Masayoshi (Second Elder), does he still hold a grudge against me because I used to bully him when he was a child? It's been 40 fucking years! ”
A youth voice suddenly rose and said, “Patriark, allow me to join the escort team. Princess Mito's safety should be at most. ”
This person was Uzumaki Hakubo, Masahiko saw him as a man with a heroic aura. Despite being only 20 years old, Masahiko considered himself to be as strong as the elites of the clan. Since the Patriarch only had one daughter, everyone used to joke that Hakubo would marry Mito and become the next Patriarch.
“There is no need for it to put your trust in Uncle. Even though you are strong, these kinds of things require more experience than strength alone. ” Patriarch refused.
“Patriark, don't be so hard on him! The big boy here seems to think that I've grown older and weaker masahiko.
After saying that, the atmosphere subsided, and everyone smiled, some even laughing faintly.
“What? It's faster than we expected. Everyone gathers around me.” Patriarch ordered.
The assembly gathered and went through the door. There was already a group of people waiting outside. There are three Commanders of Jonin and nearly eight elite Jonin. There was no doubt about it; they were a team of Senju bodyguards.
“It's been a long time since I watched anime. Does the world also have sedan chairs? And the sedan chair was carried by four regular Jonin? It really boosts my confidence.” Masahiko muttered.
“Is something wrong, Uncle?”
“It's okay.”
Then a boy who might be a teenager came out of the sedan chair. He had three red marks on his face with different patterns from the Senju clan.
“It's really amazing, finally I have to see you, Second Hokage.” Masahiko's body became paralyzed from excitement.
The patriarch kept reminding him not to say anything inappropriate to Tobirama, perhaps as a precaution, as he always muttered things that seemed strange in this world. Still, he did so from the first second, which made the Patriarch look at him.
“Don't worry, deep down, he doesn't mind me calling him that. After all, it was a long journey, come and sit for a while. ”
Tobirama replied, “That's no problem. When the elder sister is ready, we will leave, we have to reach our residence before dark for the wedding ceremony. ”
“He was suddenly polite.” Masahiko, who was now in a half-unconscious state, said that subconsciously to the person in front of him, and everyone could hear him.
Tobirama looks confused but she doesn't pay much attention to him, as Masahiko looks like an old man.
The patriarch looked at one of his bodyguards and said: “Quick, take care of the princess, get her out, and help with her luggage!”
The Patriarch walked up to Tobirama and said, “Welcome dear ones, let me introduce you to the famous member of our clan, Uzumaki Masahiko. He will help your team take care of our Mito.”
In a half-dazzling state, Masahiko thought, “This is really him!”, Then he said, “Olds and Elders, you don't have to worry! We were escorted by 3 Commanders Jonin, and 8 elite Jonin, and of course me. Rest assured, the safety of this trip is guaranteed.”
“I'm not worried about your safety. This is my daughter. You just went with him because I couldn't. I'll wait for you to come back and tell me in detail about everything that happened. I really wanted to be there as his father. This is my daughter's wedding.” The patriarch immediately replied.
“Then why don't you go and let the others handle it..” Masahiko finally woke up from his dream and stopped before saying it.
Mito finally comes up with a companion of two Kunoichi. He walked gracefully towards the Patriarch, and then bowed to him, then bowed to the elders, nodded gently to the mass, and then sat down inside the sedan chair.
“Everything is fine then, we go then.” “Patriark .. Elders.” Tobirama said that then bowed respectfully to them.
“Well, be careful then. Uncle! Please take care of my little Mito.” Patriarch Said.
“Don't worry, Patriarch. I'll take care of it as best I can.” Masahiko's smile with a sincere touch of heart was visible from his eyes.
“Come go!” time passed as the team departed from the Uzumaki residence…
Thus Masahiko began his new journey…
