Chapter 276 Wedding Banquet

The ceremony at Nanga Shrine was solemn and dignified, but when the ceremony ended and the guests moved to the largest open-air banquet hall of the Uchiha clan, the atmosphere instantly shifted from the clouds back to the everyday life full of warmth and humanity.

The enormous banquet hall was decorated with flowers, red lanterns and colorful ribbons, and round tables were filled with all kinds of top-quality delicacies from Konoha, including many rare ingredients transported from the capital, emphasizing a high-end and luxurious atmosphere.

"Wow! It's top-quality Wagyu beef! And premium sashimi too!"

At a round table in the corner, Kana Uzumaki's eyes had turned into two big stars, and she was practically drooling.

This table was specially arranged by Fugaku.

Besides the two little girls, Kanae and Shizune, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin from Team 7, as well as Shisui, Kurenai, and Guy from Nishikawa Tetsu's team, were all crammed here.

Kakashi was unusually not wearing his lifeless combat uniform today, but instead wearing a dark blue kimono. However, he still wore a mask, and his deadpan eyes swept over the table full of food before finally settling on the main table not far away.

There sat the important figures of Konoha—his father, Sakumo Hatake, the legendary Sannin Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans.

"What, you want to sit at the same table as Lord White Fang?"

Obito, clutching a large chicken leg, mumbled a sarcastic remark between bites, "Too bad, you're not good enough for those big shots' tables. You'd better just stick to eating with me!"

"Shut up, you loser." Kakashi retorted without turning his head, "I just think sitting with a bunch of drunks will affect me, and besides..."

Kakashi's gaze swept past the main table and landed on the few dazzling figures moving around the room.

"Besides, they're not the main characters today."

At this moment, in the center of the banquet hall.

Fugaku Uchiha had changed out of his heavy formal attire and into a light but luxurious dark purple haori.

Mikoto also changed out of her white kimono and into a colored jacket embroidered with cherry blossom patterns. She looked less sacred and more bright and charming.

As best men, Minato Namikaze and Tetsuichi Nishikawa followed behind Fugaku on either side.

Minato, dressed in a white and gold haori, was so handsome and sunny that he attracted the attention of many ninja girls.

Nishikawa Tetsuya was dressed in a black haori with gold patterns, holding a tray in his hand, with a warm smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Kushina and Mizuki, who were bridesmaids, stayed by Mikoto's side at all times.

Kushina's fiery red hair stood out like a dancing flame in the crowd, and although Mizuki was a little shy, her cool and gentle temperament attracted a lot of attention.

"Come on, Fugaku! Today is your big day, you have to drink this!"

At the main table, Jiraiya, his face flushed from drinking, stood up unsteadily, holding a wine cup the size of a washbasin.

"Back then, you were just a little kid with a perpetually stern face, and now you've married such a beautiful wife. As your teacher, I'm truly gratified! Hahahaha!"

"Jiraiya-sensei, you've had too much to drink."

Fugaku frowned slightly, looking at the bowl of sake. His stomach churned, but he still picked up his small sake cup, preparing to grit his teeth and accept it.

"Oh, teacher, this won't do."

Nishikawa Tetsu reacted quickly, stepping forward and using the tray in his hand to block Jiraiya's attack with the wine basin.

"Fugaku-senpai is the groom today. If you get him drunk, won't Mikoto be left alone in her wedding night? That's a serious crime that disrupts Konoha's population growth plan!"

"Let's just have something normal..."

Nishikawa Toru calmly picked up a glass of suspiciously colored liquid from the tray and handed it to Fugaku, lowering his voice: "Senpai, this is a specially made non-alcoholic beverage, you can drink it without worry."

Fugaku glanced gratefully at Nishikawa Tetsu, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, his expression unchanged.

"Impressive drinking capacity!"

Jiraiya, completely oblivious to anything amiss, gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "As expected of the Uchiha clan head! Since you did it, Minato! As his best man, you should drink a toast for him too!"

"Huh? Me?"

Minato was called out, and he smiled somewhat helplessly, just about to take the wine glass.

Minato doesn't drink alcohol!

A red figure instantly blocked the way in front of the water gate.

Kushina stood with her hands on her hips, like a little female leopard guarding her food, glaring fiercely at Jiraiya.

"Lord Jiraiya, don't even think about bullying Minato! He has to go to the Jonin squad for his shift tomorrow. If he gets drunk, you'll have to help him with his chores!"

"Oh my, she's not even married yet, and she's already protecting her own?"

Jiraiya joked, which drew laughter from the surrounding clan heads.

Minato looked at Kushina, who was standing in front of him, his azure eyes filled with tenderness. He gently tugged at Kushina's sleeve and said, "It's alright, Kushina. Today is a happy day. A little bit of drinking won't hurt."

"No, if I say no, then no!"

Seeing the lively scene, the children at the corner table were also stunned.

"Wow……"

Kana rested her chin on her hands, looking at Mikoto, who was wearing a colored jacket, and Kushina, who stood in front of Minato like a protector, with longing in her eyes.

"Mikoto-neechan looks so beautiful today, she's like a princess from a fairy tale! And Kushina-neechan and Mizuki-neechan are so pretty too!"

"yes……"

Shizune pushed up her glasses, and a look of longing appeared on her round face.

"Being able to wear such beautiful clothes, stand with the person I love, and receive everyone's blessings...it's truly wonderful."

It wasn't just the two of them.

Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai, sitting next to her, were also staring intently at the center of the arena.

A red jacket, exquisite makeup, and a group of companions who would entrust their lives to her.

Which young girl doesn't dream of love? Which girl hasn't fantasized about the day she'll wear her wedding dress?

"Lin, you...you'll wear such beautiful clothes in the future too."

Obito looked at Rin's longing profile, his heart pounding, and before he knew it, he blurted out what was on his mind.

"And...and no matter what you wear, you'll definitely look better than them!" Obito added, blushing and stammering.

Rin turned around and looked at Obito's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Obito, is that a compliment you?"

"Of course, I'm praising you!" Obito retorted, sticking out his neck.

"Cough cough."

Kakashi coughed coldly twice, interrupting Obito's confession.

"You bottom-of-the-barrel guy, wait until you have Captain Fugaku's strength and resources before you talk about this kind of thing. Right now, wipe the drool off your mouth."

"Kakashi! Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight?!"

"I'm just stating the facts."

"You two, stop arguing."

Shisui sighed helplessly, picked up a piece of beef, and stuffed it into Obito's mouth to shut him up.

"Today is the captain's wedding. If you cause any trouble, Nishikawa-senpai will definitely make you pay."

Upon hearing Nishikawa Tetsu's name, Obito, who had been fighting like a cock just moments before, instantly fell silent.

He knew all too well the methods of that "devilish" deputy minister.

……

As night deepened, the banquet reached its climax.

At the main table, Orochimaru held a cup of sake, while Jiraiya, somewhat drunk, swayed unsteadily with his sake cup in hand. Several senior ninja clan members were exchanging parenting experiences with Sakumo Hatake.

Tsunade wrapped her arms around Orochimaru and Jiraiya's necks, her face flushed, indicating she had drunk quite a bit. She then abruptly handed them her wine cups.

"Salute to this moment!"

In the center of the banquet hall, Fugaku, holding Mikoto's hand, continued his toasting journey, accompanied by Minato and Nishikawa Tetsu.

Although the glasses were filled with juice and other beverages, everyone's face was radiant with genuine intoxication.

It is an expectation for the future, and also an intoxication with the bonds we share.
