Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 528 Itachi Uchiha's Wedding [Part 1]

We'll leave aside for now the matter of Naruto training with Jiraiya in summoning techniques and Sage Mode, and his contract with the toads of Mount Myōboku.

Let's shift our focus to Erzhuzi's side.

Sasuke naturally wanted to make a name for himself in next year's Ninja Exams.

Many members of the Uchiha clan placed their hopes on him in this regard.

After all, he is currently the strongest among the younger generation of the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke felt a lot of pressure from these expectations.

And what puts him under the most pressure...

This is a major event that happened recently to his older brother, Uchiha Itachi.

Yes, Itachi Uchiha is getting married; his bride is Izumi Uchiha.

To be honest, the wedding of Itachi Uchiha and Izumi Uchiha was, to a greater or lesser extent, influenced by political factors.

Through Itachi's wedding, Fugaku Uchiha not only told those who left the Uchiha clan that even if they left the clan, they were still members of the Uchiha clan, and that he would not target them, but also pointed out that he had even chosen his son's wife from among those who had left the clan.

This is for those who left the Uchiha clan's territory.

For some of the remaining elders of the Uchiha clan, the story of Itachi Uchiha can also convey another kind of signal.

He, Fugaku Uchiha, would not go so far as to kill them all.

What is Izumi Uchiha's identity? She is the granddaughter of the Uchiha clan elder who once coughed at the same time as Fugaku Uchiha!

However, having lost the power struggle with Fugaku Uchiha, this clan elder simply had his family members leave the clan territory.

This explains why Fugaku Uchiha, who previously strongly opposed Itachi Uchiha marrying so early, is now so eager to get Itachi married.

There are fewer and fewer people in Konoha getting married around the age of twenty these days.

Most young people still prefer to enjoy life more before getting married.

No one knows whether Itachi Uchiha knew what his father truly thought.

However, there is no doubt that Itachi Uchiha accepted his father's exploitation of him.

Mikoto Uchiha has also been giving Fugaku Uchiha a cold shoulder lately because of this incident.

The two have even argued several times because of Itachi Uchiha.

How could someone like Erzhuzi, who has zero political acumen, possibly understand this?

He simply assumed that his mother missed his brother and didn't want him to leave home.

How could they know that the discussion was already about family matters?

Well, it seems there's nothing wrong with Fugaku Uchiha discussing this with his wife.

In short, Itachi Uchiha's wedding date was set.

After learning this, You Ya frankly admitted that he really wanted to participate.

I'm not really interested in attending the wedding banquet; I'm mainly interested in seeing what kind of expression Itachi Uchiha, the expressionless groom on the boat, will have in his suit.

Unfortunately, he really can't get away lately...

Because representatives from other villages have been arriving one after another.

They were there on behalf of the other Kage from the five great ninja villages to discuss "cooperation" with Yua.

In short, what exactly are the rules for next year's Chunin Exams?

These are the aspects that these people value highly.

After all, anyone with eyes can see that if you, Yuya, dare to propose such an outrageous and ridiculously high condition, then you must be confident that Konoha Village can take first place.

Given this premise, the other villages would definitely have doubts. Whether this bastard would cheat the rules naturally came into the consideration of the other villages.

So these people decided to join forces and send someone over to discuss the rules, which had to be "fair and just".

At the very least, the rules cannot be made to favor Konoha.

Therefore, Youya has been very busy lately.

Although Nara Shikaku was the one to discuss the rules with the other villages, Yua, as the host, should still be present, right?

Therefore, he really hasn't had time lately.

Some might say, "Why not just use a shadow clone to participate in this situation?"

Theoretically, it is indeed possible, but here we need to discuss a logic: if Yua uses a shadow clone to attend Itachi Uchiha's wedding, and if people discover his identity, what will they think Yua is trying to achieve?

As a Hokage attending a wedding, one should naturally feel the Hokage's respect.

But to be honest...

Using a shadow clone to attend a wedding...

This behavior itself is somewhat of a slap in the face to the person involved.

You attended someone's wedding using a shadow clone. While your status is indeed prestigious, isn't that somewhat disrespectful?

Yua's relationship with the Uchiha clan can be described as very good.

Fugaku Uchiha supported him, and Kagami Uchiha supported him unconditionally.

Doing something like this at a time like this, are you really not afraid of others having a problem with you?

Therefore, it's impossible for Yua to send her shadow clone to the wedding.

There's only one solution that can be thought of...

……

Therefore, on the day of Itachi Uchiha's engagement party, Tsunade replaced Yua to deliver the wedding gift to Itachi Uchiha.

Uchiha Itachi was somewhat flattered.

Tsunade's identity is not as simple as just being the Hokage's wife.

For example, if the current Third Hokage were Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Biwako Sarutobi represented Hiruzen Sarutobi to deliver a wedding gift to Itachi Uchiha, the Uchiha clan would not immediately feel flattered, but would immediately think that this old man Hiruzen Sarutobi was trying to win them over.

Yua and Tsunade, however, do not have this problem.

Leaving aside Yuya, what about Tsunade...?

Does she need to win over others?

If Yuya declares that Tsunade should succeed him as the Fourth Hokage, then Tsunade will become the Fourth Hokage the next day.

Well, the first and only person who would dare to beat up Yua would definitely be Tsunade, since Yua dared to make such a suggestion.

Tsunade has saved countless lives; almost every member of Konoha Village has received her care, so in some ways, Tsunade's status is even higher than Yua's.

This respect is the profound gratitude people feel for the doctors who saved their loved ones' lives.

Tsunade, representing Yua, gave Itachi Uchiha a gift, which made Itachi feel flattered, but that was all.

After all, it's the wedding of the heirs of other families...

For example, when Hiruzen Sarutobi's son, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, married Asuma Sarutobi, Yua sent gifts to both of them.

This situation is actually quite rare, because it would indicate that Youya supports the two men's power struggle.

However, both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Yua knew the truth.

The truth is that after growing up, Sarutobi Shinnosuke had absolutely no desire to inherit the Sarutobi family lineage.

Therefore, a few years after their marriage, this guy broke up with Hiruzen Sarutobi and left the Sarutobi clan territory.

In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to place all his hopes on Asuma Sarutobi.

As a result, You Ya gave two wedding gifts.

Ok……

I have a feeling of being scammed...
