The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 577 The Wedding Begins

The two didn't exchange a single word along the way, yet they shared an unspoken understanding... They both knew that their mission was not yet complete.

We must continue to stand guard to ensure that tomorrow's wedding proceeds smoothly and that no further mishaps occur.

Soon, the two arrived at the dungeon in Konoha Village and deliberately chose two relatively clean rooms.

They placed Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya on two adjacent beds, gently covered them with blankets, and carefully checked them over to make sure they didn't have any serious injuries before they were slightly relieved.

Then, Uchiha Shisui turned around and instructed the guards standing at the door: "Keep a close eye on them. Don't let them run around freely again, and don't let them disturb tomorrow's wedding."

"If there is any movement, whether they wake up or there is any other abnormality, you must report it immediately. There must be absolutely no oversight, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Shisui, Lord Ryuka, your subordinate obeys!"

The guard immediately bowed deeply, his waist bent very low, his eyes firm and respectful, and his tone showed no sign of slackening.

"I will keep a close watch on them, never leaving their side, and will ensure that nothing goes wrong. I will not allow them to disturb tomorrow's wedding and will certainly not fail to live up to your expectations!"

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Ryuka exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and without saying anything more, turned around and left the guest room, gently closing the door behind them as they headed towards the Hokage Building.

The night remained deep, and the evening breeze gently rustled the treetops, making a soft "shush" sound. The two figures gradually disappeared into the night.

Their steps remained steady, with only one thought in their minds... to stay at their posts and ensure that tomorrow's wedding would proceed without any mishaps.

The next day, Jiraiya slowly opened his eyes, his head throbbing and his body completely powerless. He subconsciously tried to mobilize his chakra, but found that the chakra in his body was like water that had been imprisoned, unable to circulate at all—clearly, his chakra had been sealed.

He looked around. The dim lighting, the cold stone walls, and the sturdy iron bars all exuded a sense of oppression. This was clearly Konoha's dungeon, not yesterday's guest room.

Jiraiya immediately sat up and shouted loudly towards the outside of the iron bars, "Hey! Who locked me in here? Let me out!"

The shouts alerted the ninja guarding the cell. The ninja quickly stepped forward and bowed to Jiraiya.

"Lord Jiraiya, because you caused a scene at the Hokage Building while drunk last night, and in your emotional outburst, you even attempted to unleash a large-scale ninjutsu, the Hokage has temporarily imprisoned you here to stop you from causing further damage and for your safety. We will release you after the Hokage's wedding."

Jiraiya rubbed his throbbing temples, fragments of the chaotic scenes from yesterday's drunken night flashing through his mind.

Now fully awake, he no longer had the desire to cause trouble. He only felt his stomach was empty, and his tone softened slightly: "How long have I been asleep...? I'm terribly hungry now. Get me something good to eat!"

The ninja didn't dare to delay and quickly replied, "Lord Jiraiya, you've been sleeping for over seventeen hours. Lord Mimine's wedding has already begun."

Before long, the ninja returned carrying a large food box. He opened the box and found it filled with more than a dozen exquisite dishes, as well as a pot of fragrant wine, which he placed on the small table in the cell.

"Lord Jiraiya, this was specially instructed by the Hokage. The Hokage said that although you and Lord Minato Namikaze cannot attend the wedding, we cannot neglect you, so we have prepared some special food for you."

Jiraiya looked at the food and wine on the table and suddenly felt his head throb even more.

He reached for the wine jug, unscrewed the lid, and took a large gulp. The pungent liquid slid down his throat, slightly relieving his headache and irritability. But because he drank too quickly, he couldn't help coughing a few times...

During this brief moment of free time... he kept replaying the details of the wedding in his mind...

The once quiet Konoha Village gradually came alive, with lights coming on in every household and wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys.

The air was filled with a festive atmosphere and a faint floral fragrance, which was very pleasant.

The entire village of Konoha was enveloped in a festive atmosphere, with lanterns and decorations adorning the streets and red ribbons hanging from the branches and eaves along the roads.

Red lanterns are neatly arranged on both sides of the street, with the large "喜" (happiness) character on them particularly eye-catching, swaying gently in the wind as if telling of today's joy.

The shops on both sides of the street were also decorated with red ribbons and brightly colored flowers, including delicate roses and magnificent peonies.

A riot of colors, each vying for attention, the air thick with the fragrance of flowers and the subtle aroma of wine, all intertwined to create a joyous and peaceful scene.

The villagers, dressed in their finest clothes, came out of their homes one after another.

Small groups of people gathered on both sides of the street, whispering about the grand wedding of the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Mitsumine, their voices filled with anticipation, blessings, and a touch of curiosity...

Everyone was curious about just how grand and lively this wedding, which would welcome seven brides, would be.

"Have you heard? Today is the Hokage's wedding day! He's marrying seven brides, all of whom are among the most beautiful women in the ninja world... There's Princess Tsunade from the Senju clan, and Miss Kushina from the Uzumaki clan... How grand... How splendid!"

A villager said with envy and excitement.

"Yes, yes, the Hokage is young and promising, incredibly strong, becoming the Fourth Hokage at such a young age, and he's even managed to marry seven such outstanding brides—truly a match made in heaven!"

"I hope the Hokage and his seven wives will live a long and happy life together...and have many children...and I also hope the Hokage will lead our Konoha Village...to become stronger and stronger, so that our lives will become more and more peaceful!"

Another villager quickly echoed, his tone full of sincere blessings.

"Definitely! The Hokage is so powerful. With him around, our Konoha Village will definitely become more and more prosperous. We will no longer have to fear provocations from other villages, and our lives will definitely become more and more hopeful!"

"Look, the Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, from the Hyuga clan, as well as Choza Akimichi, Shikaku Nara, and Inoichi Yamanaka from the Ino-Shika-Cho trio... the head of the Aburame clan... the head of the Kazami clan... the head of the Kurama clan... even the Inuzuka clan has sent people!"

The air was filled with chatter and laughter, a festive and peaceful atmosphere that touched everyone present.

Just then, a clear suona horn pierced the sky, followed by the sounds of gongs, drums, cheers, and applause, which resounded throughout Konoha Village, instantly pushing the festive atmosphere to a climax.

Seven ornately decorated red palanquins slowly approached from different directions, heading towards the residence of the Uchiha Three Peaks. The procession of palanquins was orderly and impressive.

The crowd of villagers on both sides of the street stopped to watch, applause and cheers erupted, and everyone offered their sincerest blessings to this grand wedding.

Each red palanquin was carried by four Uchiha ninjas dressed in red. The ninjas stood tall and walked with steady steps, their faces showing respect.

They carried the sedan chair steadily, each step firm and steady, without the slightest sway, so the bride inside wouldn't feel any bumps.

The sedan chair was decorated with exquisite gold patterns, which were lifelike, including auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns, as well as auspicious cloud patterns with good meaning.

Red ribbons and brightly colored embroidered balls hung along the edges of the sedan chair, and the curtains were embroidered with lifelike mandarin duck patterns and densely packed auspicious and lucky designs.

Everywhere exuded a strong wedding atmosphere, showcasing the strength and sincerity of the Uchiha clan, as well as the grandeur and magnificence of the wedding.

Inside the sedan chair were seven brides: Princess Tsunade, Kushina Uzumaki, Mikoto Uchiha, Ami Uchiha, Megumi Uzumaki, Yui Aoyama, and Sango. They wore bright red wedding gowns made of luxurious material, embroidered with exquisite and lifelike phoenix patterns.

The phoenix spreads its wings as if about to take flight, as if it would leap off the wedding dress at any moment.

They wore red veils adorned with tiny pearls and sparkling gems. As the sedan chair swayed slightly, the pearls and gems gently moved, reflecting a soft luster that was exceptionally dazzling.

They sat gracefully in the sedan chairs, their faces shy and blushing, their brows furrowed with a hint of nervousness, as well as a sense of anticipation and determination for the future.

Her fingers gently traced the gold and silver threads on her wedding dress, her mind filled with countless thoughts...

It contains longing for newlywed life, expectation of spending a lifetime with the Uchiha Sanfeng, responsibility and commitment to one's clan, and a sense of relief about the past.

All those past loves and hates, all those past obsessions and resentments, have vanished with the wind.

From this day forward, they will become the wives of the Uchiha Mitsunori, protecting their clan and Konoha Village, walking side by side with him, and embarking on a brand new life.

Kushina sat in the sedan chair, her fingers gently stroking the phoenix pattern on her wedding dress, feeling the delicate touch on her skin.

A wave of nostalgia for the past involuntarily flashed through his mind, along with images of Minato Namikaze's despairing appearance yesterday and the little memories of their youth.

A slight stirring in my heart brought a faint bittersweet feeling.

But this bitterness lasted only a moment before she forcibly suppressed it, her eyes hardening once more... Her choice was right.

For the revival of the Uzumaki clan, for all the deceased clan members, and for a stable future for the remaining clan members, she had to do this.

From now on, she will let go of her past obsessions and loves and hates, live a good life, assist the Uchiha Sanfeng, and do her best to realize the wish of the Uzumaki clan's revival.

I will not let down my clansmen's expectations, nor will I betray my own choices.

Tsunade sat in another palanquin, her face flushed slightly. The boldness and stubbornness of the past were gone from her brows, replaced by a touch of girlish shyness and gentleness.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her mind filled with thoughts of Jiraiya, his disheveled state after getting drunk yesterday, his attempts to persuade her to stay, and his deep affection and persistence over the years.

A slight pang of bitterness and regret welled up in my heart.

But soon, she came to terms with it... She and Jiraiya were ultimately destined to be apart.

She carries the heavy responsibility of reviving the Senju clan on her shoulders, and the Uchiha Mitsunori is the only one who can help her realize this wish, and that is enough.

Let bygones be bygones. From now on, she will prioritize the interests of the Senju clan, diligently assist the Uchiha Sanfeng, protect the honor of the Senju clan, and begin a new chapter in her life.

The red sedan chair moved slowly and steadily, while villagers on both sides of the street waved and loudly offered their blessings.

"Congratulations, Hokage-sama..."

"Congratulations to the seven ladies on your weddings..."

"Wishing the Hokage and his wives... a long and happy marriage... and many children..."

Cheers rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Intertwined with the sounds of suona horns and gongs, the festive atmosphere reached one climax after another.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a golden glow on the red sedan chair and giving the red wedding dress a dazzling, eye-catching sheen.

The mansion of the Uchiha Three Peaks was already brightly decorated and bustling with activity, with red silk ribbons hanging all over the gates and walls of the mansion.

Red lanterns hang high, with the character "喜" (happiness) on them particularly eye-catching. From afar, the festive red scene evokes joy and happiness.

A large expanse of vibrant flowers, including roses of all colors, were displayed at the entrance of the mansion. The air was filled with a rich fragrance and a festive atmosphere, which was delightful to behold.

The wedding ceremony officially began, and the most eye-catching moment was undoubtedly the entrance of the newlyweds.

Uchiha Mitsunori wore a red wedding dress with gold trim embroidered on the collar and cuffs.

At this moment, his brows were filled with unconcealed joy, and the tenderness in his eyes was almost overflowing.

He strode forward and took Tsunade's left hand in his, and the two walked side by side at the front of the bright red carpet.

Tsunade wore a magnificent red wedding gown, the hem of which was embroidered with lifelike golden phoenixes facing the sun and adorned with tiny pearls and rubies. As she moved, the pearls and rubies clinked together, producing a clear and melodious sound.

A faint blush graced her eyes and brows, her left hand resting gently on Uchiha Mitsumine's palm, her steps slow yet firm.

On both sides of the red carpet, guests who had been waiting for a long time stood up one after another, their faces full of blessings.

The Hyuga brothers, including Hiashi and Hizashi, as well as Choza Akimichi, Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, Shiki Aburame, and Tsuru Inuzuka, clapped and congratulated them.

Applause rose and fell like waves, mixed with blessings of "Congratulations, Hokage!" and "May you have a long and happy marriage!" echoing throughout the entire mansion courtyard.

Behind the two, six brides followed in turn: Kushina Uzumaki, Mikoto Uchiha, Ami Uchiha, Megumi Uzumaki, Yui Aoyama, and Sango...
