Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 70: A Boring Marriage

Villagers had no idea that Hashirama was living in trouble when news of the wedding spread throughout Konoha.

At Akimichi's barbeque stall, Hashirama sat there for a long time waiting for Masahiko to finish eating.

Looking at Hashirama's face, Masahiko smiled, “What's wrong? The last time you asked me to eat with you was when you wanted Madara to become Hokage, what was your problem this time?”

When he mentioned Madara, Hashirama became even more grim, then sighed without explanation.

Masahiko smiled and said, “That couldn't have been the last time. But you have to believe that you can count on this Grandpa on other things. Just tell me, and I'll give you an idea.”

Hashirama kept looking at the empty plate that filled the table, which made Masahiko very anxious. She thought about it for a moment, then said: “Is this about Kenji's wedding?”

“Six years ago, I approved Daimyo's proposal to marry our son, you were also present back then, Second Grandpa. And since Tobirama was also there, I thought he would talk about this with Mito, but..”.

“After a few weeks, I completely forgot about it. Now the Wedding rumors have spread..” Hashirama sighed again.

Masahiko simply smiled and shook his head. “How can you forget to tell Mito about this, how can you forget such important things?”

“Slow...” Hashirama looks firm, “You know I didn't tell him... Why remind me before Grandpa?”

“Ah, Haha ..” Masahiko laughs full of pressure, “Don't you think you blame the wrong person?”

Hashirama shook his head, then let out another long sigh.

Masahiko patted her shoulder. “Don't be sad, you still have me, right? I'll just talk to Mito..”.

After Masahiko said that and left, Hashirama felt relieved. However, when payment…

No matter how fat the Hokage wallet was, the amount Masahiko ate was too expensive even for him, and especially in Akimichi's barbeque stalls.

While Hashirama wore a disheveled expression at check out, Masahiko was already in front of Mito's house.

Masahiko knocked on the door, and Mito welcomed her in. He was 40 years old now, but he still had a young-looking face. The diamond-shaped mark on his forehead was darker, and he was still smiling gently.

He did not wait for Masahiko to speak and took the initiative to say, “Second Grandfather, I know you came here to intercede for Hashirama. Tell him I'm not too angry about this, you can go home.”

“I know this to forge stronger ties between the village and the Fire Nation. But as his mother, I should have been told about this, Hashirama didn't tell me anything.”.

Masahiko scratched his head, he could feel how Mito was holding back his displeasure while talking to him. However, since Masahiko had already promised Hashirama to help him, he at least wanted to talk to her. Just as Masahiko was about to open his mouth, Mito cut him off again.

“Luckily, Kenji doesn't have a girl he likes. If he has, then this can be troublesome. Second Grandfather, tell Hashirama that I will forgive him, but only this time. Tell him, don't get used to this!” With that said, Masahiko found herself coming out of the house, with the door closed on her face.

Standing before that closed door, Masahiko could only smile bitterly. How did Mito become so strong like this? He even managed to make Hashirama, the Shinobi God, tremble in fear. Hashirama's life must have been difficult within these walls…

“I didn't even have a chance to say a word, and I'm already out?” Masahiko shook his head with a bitter smile, but after a while, he looked happy again.

“Why do I care? I get a nice barbecue out of this ... For nothing ... Maybe ?! ”

Ten minutes later, Masahiko found the depressed Hashirama again, then smiled, “What? Are you thinking about your wallet? Don't worry, Grandpa didn't eat all those barbecues for nothing! After I used all my persuading skills, Mito finally forgave you! But he asked me to tell you that he let this pass, but just for this time, don't get used to this! ”

Hokage-Sama finally finishes her family business. And Kenji's wedding preparations have been included on the agenda.

Although the world was dominated by ninjas, Kenji's status as the eldest son of the village chief was equal to that of a noble, or even a prince.

But. How do you explain it,

In some ways, Naruto's world is no different to modern society, more people means more mouths to feed, more mouths to feed means more farming is needed, more farming needed means more workers, and the list just goes on and on, so Konoha for its seven years of development asks for financial assistance from the Fire Nation every year.

Therefore, this event was more than just a wedding to the Land of Fire, it was an important matter that needed to be dealt with curiosity. Which makes Masahiko wonder why he was not asked to be one of the “Best Men”.

“You are fine, you don't need to think too much about this, they will ask you in the end.” Masahiko said to himself, “You are still his great-grandfather ..”

However, Masahiko could not hold it in anymore and cried at Tobirama, who looked busy preparing for the wedding, “Please let go of our embrace, Grandpa. People are still talking about my brother's marriage to this day. And of all people, you have made him the host.”.

Masahiko was embarrassed; no wonder no one came to him. This is a reason…

“Twenty years have passed. How can you still hold a grudge? I was young and stubborn at the time.I've changed, believe me” Obviously, Masahiko won't admit it just like that.

However, no matter what Masahiko would say, Tobirama would not let him get involved, and let him hang there with this sentence, “You have not changed in the slightest.”.

The wedding was held as planned in early June of the seventh year since the founding of Konoha. Daimyo comes to Konoha again with his 18 new guardian ninjas escorting him.

Masahiko reluctantly sat in his chair while looking bored and watching this ancient wedding. The wedding background has only a few Sakura trees. As usual, whatever Tobirama handled became boring…

20-year-old Kenji looks handsome, and his 16-year-old bride also looks beautiful with her blonde hair waving.

“Hair is blonde. He's the guy, but this wedding guy.”.

Masahiko was too disappointed with this marriage, he kept looking at Hashirama and Daimyo who were sitting in the main seat, then he walked a few steps and patted her on the shoulder, “Isn't the wedding so boring? Why give it to Tobirama, not this Grandpa, I can make this marriage extraordinary!”

Hashirama smiled wryly. Daimyo looked at Masahiko, then said, “You! I remember you. You are. 108 stars of destiny! For how long, your appearance has not changed in the least after so many years. How do you do it?” The 50-year-old Daimyo looks older than Masahiko and thinks that Masahiko uses some kind of Transformation Technique.

Masahiko glanced at Daimyo, then smiled awkwardly, “Ah, haha.” Then turned around with a dark face and sat back down.

Hashirama repeatedly apologized to Daimyo and explained the situation…

“Destiny 108-star.. Will she forget about it? This daimyo! Is he planning to make that mistake as a stain in my life?”

Although Masahiko felt that this marriage was very boring without “his creative touch”, the audience seemed very excited and talked a lot.

Even the shinobi yearn for this feeling of peace, and of course, the citizens even more.

“After the wedding of Hokage's son and daughter Daimyo, the Land of Fire and Konoha will develop more peacefully.” The discussions of the villagers are filled with hope.

“Huuh, when will this boring wedding end?” Masahiko sighed.
