The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 41 Marrying Two People Simultaneously

"Governance, here I come."

Uchiha Takeo gently knocked on the door of a two-story house that was full of life, with many flower beds in the front yard and butterflies fluttering around.

His keen hearing allowed him to hear a series of footsteps inside the house, from hurried to slow, until they disappeared.

(The cleanup is right at the entrance hall.)

Suppressing the urge to use [Heavenly Emperor], Uchiha Takeru waited quietly.

Three or four seconds later, the door was opened, and the soft morning light fell on Uchiha Ryosuke and entered Uchiha Takeoshi's eyes.

Today, the purple-haired girl was not wearing her usual unremarkable black dress, but instead wore a dignified and elegant white kimono, adorned with clusters of red plum blossoms.

Her naturally beautiful face was lightly made up, making her look softer and more charming than usual.

"Come in."

Uchiha Ritsu stepped aside, and after Uchiha Muan entered, he took out a pair of new men's slippers, tucked his loose hair behind his ear, and squatted down to place the slippers at Uchiha Muan's feet.

Looking down, Uchiha Takeo could see the girl's gentle profile and snow-white neck.

(Like a newlywed wife.)

A warm feeling lingered in Uchiha Takeo's heart. He then followed Uchiha Rin into the house, where the two sat facing each other and knelt beside a small round table.

Uchiha Rinpoche's hands, which were placed under the table, were intertwined. Even her jade-like feet, which were pressed down by her thighs, were tense, forming a beautiful arc under the white socks.

(Is this outfit worn by the young master for me, or for Minamoto Kaori?)

The commotion in the front hall was known to the Uchiha clan well in advance.

Seeing that Uchiha Takeo didn't go to the front hall but instead came directly to her home, the young girl, who had dressed up carefully with her mother's help, was naturally overjoyed.

But inevitably, she became anxious again—what if the young master only came to tell her that he wanted to marry Minamoto Kaori, and not her?

(So ​​nervous!)

The purple-haired girl, who had buried all her emotions in her heart, tried her best to maintain a normal attitude and quietly waited for Uchiha Takeo to speak.

(Judging from the clan chief's attitude yesterday, there's a good chance he'll accept me, so there's no need to hesitate any longer!)

Having also prepared himself, Uchiha Takeo didn't hesitate, looking directly into Uchiha Rinpoche's eyes, "Rinpoche, I love you. Will you be my wife?"

The slightly hurried words reached her ears. Uchiha Rinpoche had thought about this situation many times last night and had done a lot of simulated responses, but her brain only allowed her to answer with a single word.

"Um."

After uttering those words, Uchiha Rinpoche felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart. His entire being instantly radiant, his black eyes glowing with a bright light.

The girl readily agreed, leaving Uchiha Takeo, who had prepared a long list of promises, speechless for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

Uchiha Takeo straightened his posture, placed his hands on his knees, bent over, and said in a suppressed voice, "Governor, please take care of me from now on."

"An Jun, please take care of the rest of my life."

The woman who was secretly watching upstairs covered her mouth with delight as she watched this scene. She carefully returned to her room, looked at the child's father, and nodded heavily.

(Governance should bring happiness!)

The parents, who had raised their daughter for over ten years, were now going to live with someone else. They were both relieved that their daughter had grown up and reached marriageable age, and heartbroken that their precious daughter was about to be taken away by a pig...

No, it's about to be taken away by the esteemed young lord and Hokage.

The two of them couldn't help but offer their blessings.

"Government, would you like to accompany me to the front hall?"

"Is this about Princess Kaori Minamoto?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go. Who told me I'd fallen for you?"

Uchiha Takehiko, who was the first to get up, reached out and helped Uchiha Rin to her feet. The girl looked up at Uchiha Takehiko, and even though she had expected this to happen, she still felt a sense of disgust.

(However, the only one who can always stand by An-jun's side is me.)

(If I were to die in battle one day, with Kaori Minamoto by my side, I wouldn't be all alone.)

Ninjas are a profession accustomed to life and death; killing and being killed are a constant cycle. Even Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju met their deaths, so Uchiha Rinpoche did not consider himself a special case.

All she wanted was for the people she loved to be happy.

(But I'm still a little uncomfortable sharing this with others.)

Composing himself and straightening his clothes, Uchiha Zhili gave Uchiha Wu'an a reproachful look before turning and walking outside.

"Governance, wait for me."

Uchiha Muan quickly followed, taking the girl's small hand that was swaying by her hip, and led her to the front hall under the gaze of the clansmen.

(It seems that Shaojun is quite efficient.)

The two walked into the hall intimately. The three elders of the Uchiha clan had smiles on their faces, while Genichiro's expression changed slightly, but he quickly concealed it.

Kaori pulled Tachibana into her arms, her eyes beneath the veil revealing little emotion, as if she cared nothing for anything.

Only Tachibana knew that the girl had increased her strength slightly, and her petite body was trembling slightly.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

"You're too kind, Hokage."

Genichiro smiled and said, "I had a very pleasant conversation with the three elders and we even discussed the dowry and other matters."

"Let me say it again, and see if there's anything else I need to add."

"No need. The clan leader and the two elders' decision is my decision."

Sitting in the main seat, Uchiha Wu'an waved his hand, his words revealing his complete trust in the three elders of the Uchiha clan. Then, he abruptly changed the subject, leaving everyone present astonished.

"The only problem now is that the wedding ceremony needs to be slightly modified, as I will be marrying two wives at the same time."

"To marry two at the same time?"

Even in Daming Prefecture, where people were used to seeing their fathers marrying concubines, Genichiro was stunned. People usually marry one at a time, but you're marrying two at the same time. Isn't this a bit too much?

One of them is the noble princess of the Land of Fire. Isn't this a great disrespect to the lord of the Land of Fire?

Naruto is amazing!

The sensible Genichiro kept all of this to himself, only showing a troubled expression on his face.

The three elders of the Uchiha clan exchanged glances, but tacitly remained silent.

For the Bloodline Clan, having many children is a blessing, and the three of them find it quite distasteful to see some clan ninjas who are still single.

"The wedding ceremony will be arranged by the clan chief and the two elders; you can decide on the time."

"If Your Highness Ichihiko has any suggestions, please feel free to bring them up. From now on, we will be related by marriage, so we should visit each other more often. I look forward to Your Highness Ichihiko becoming the daimyo of the Land of Fire."

Minamoto no Kazuhiko's eyes lit up, and the awkwardness on his face instantly turned into a friendly smile. "Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, I have quite a bit of experience in wedding ceremonies."

"That would be perfect."

Uchiha Takeo smiled broadly, "While we're still waiting for the wedding, Princess Kaori should stay at the Uchiha clan's residence. That way, Kaori, I, and I can get to know each other better."

"I hope that in the days to come, the three of us can walk side by side."

Meow~

"And of course, there's our lovely Orange Constellation."
