Master, Please Become a Hokage

Tsunade's words dispelled Shizune's worries.

“Haha... ha...” Jiraiya couldn't help but laugh loudly.

He thought Tsunade was happy.

But in reality, that wasn't the case.

“Minato's wedding, we should indeed drink more...” Jiraiya picked up his wine cup and began to savor it.

“Then, the task of getting Minato drunk will be entrusted to Lord Jiraiya...”

Sarutobi Ryō echoed from the side.

“Of course, of course, haha...” Jiraiya nodded repeatedly, thinking it was a good idea.

Minato really should embolden himself.

Only after drinking can he be a good groom.

Jiraiya bravely took on this responsibility.

However, he didn't notice the fleeting 'keikaku doori.jpg' (plan executed) in Sarutobi Ryō's eyes.

Soon.

All the guests arrived.

The courtyard was packed.

Akimichi Chōza, in charge of the kitchen, had arrived early in the morning with many members of his clan.

The lively on-site cooking created many delicacies.

Fine wine with delicious food.

Sarutobi Ryō stood up and hosted the wedding.

That's right.

Minato Namikaze's wedding would be hosted by Sarutobi Ryō.

Watching Sarutobi Ryō formally speaking, Minato Namikaze felt complicated.

He didn't say a word, silently watching Sarutobi Ryō go through the ceremony.

Soon, cheers rang out from the crowd.

Accompanied by the clinking of glasses, the wedding celebration... officially began.

The eating and drinking guests constantly congratulated Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze walked back and forth between different tables, constantly accepting toasts.

After a few cups of wine, his face also turned rosy.

Minato Namikaze, who wasn't good with alcohol,勉强 forced himself to stay awake.

He had never drunk so much wine, so...

Forcing himself to stay awake, Minato Namikaze continued to the next table.

“Minato, congratulations.”

Sarutobi Ryō raised his wine cup.

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a second, then clinked glasses with Sarutobi Ryō.

This seemed to be a reconciliation.

Minato Namikaze thought that he would obediently keep a low profile from now on.

At this moment, he only wanted Naruto to be born safely.

As for his dream...

Although...

Although it was hopeless.

But he believed that Naruto would realize his dream.

After all, Naruto was the reincarnation of Asura's chakra...

Minato Namikaze's eyes couldn't help but blur.

It was tears.

“It seems that Minato, as the groom, is quite happy...”

Jiraiya nodded continuously from the side.

However, only Minato Namikaze himself knew that these were tears of sadness.

Because... the position of Hokage could no longer be obtained...

Minato Namikaze... drank the wine in his cup.

“......”

Sarutobi Ryō watched this scene, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Was this the end?

It wasn't...

Minato Namikaze, your repayment is only just beginning!

After drinking the wine, Minato Namikaze felt a little dizzy.

And Sarutobi Ryō in front of him had also disappeared.

Minato Namikaze walked to the next table.

No one noticed.

Sarutobi Ryō... quietly sneaked into the backyard...

Chapter 183. Kushina, Eat It!

The front yard wedding banquet was in full swing, extremely lively.

Backyard...

Kushina, one of the brides, was waiting in the house.

Rin Nohara was standing in the courtyard, also waiting.

Seeing Sarutobi Ryō suddenly appear, Rin Nohara couldn't help but exclaim, “Lord Ryō?”

What was Lord Ryō doing here?

Rin Nohara looked around and realized that Sarutobi Ryō didn't intend to enter the house, so she calmed down.

According to the wedding ceremony.

Any unrelated people were not allowed to enter the bride's room.

At this moment.

Only Kushina was in the house.

Even her best friend, Lady Mikoto, had already gone to the front yard as a guest.

“Is the bride ready?” Sarutobi Ryō asked calmly.

“Yes, everything is fine.”

Rin Nohara nodded.

As a bridesmaid, Rin Nohara was also dressed up today.

Of course, there was a distinction between the host and the guest.

She naturally wouldn't steal Kushina's limelight.

All her clothing was mainly for support.

Lord Ryō proposed this wedding. So, it was normal for him to come and ask... Rin Nohara couldn't help but think.

A few days ago, after Minato Namikaze was acquitted.

At first, everyone was worried about his marriage with Kushina.

And Sarutobi Ryō approved it very readily, and the news of the two getting married also made everyone feel very excited.

This clearly showed that Lord Ryō didn't intend to pursue the matter.

Releasing such a clear signal also meant that many people who were worried about being purged could also relax a little.

“There is still an hour before the bride appears...”

Sarutobi Ryō glanced at the time.

Rin Nohara nodded in response.

The time for the bride to appear was arranged for noon.

After the newlyweds received the blessings, everyone would leave one after another.

In the afternoon, the last to stay would be the most important guests.

Finally, the wedding venue would be cleared, and the wedding would end, and the newlyweds would enter the bridal chamber.

Basically, that was the order.

“Rin, for the next hour, I'll have to trouble you to continue watching here...”

After Sarutobi Ryō finished speaking, his body disappeared in an instant.

Rin Nohara didn't have time to react, and only Sarutobi Ryō's instructions were left in her ears.

“......”

She blinked her eyes and looked around.

She didn't find Sarutobi Ryō's figure.

After taking a deep breath, Rin Nohara slowly retreated to the front of the door.

What she didn't notice was...

Sarutobi Ryō had already quietly sneaked into the room at this moment.

The purpose of instructing Rin Nohara to watch was naturally to prevent others from intervening...

......

Inside the room.

Kushina, wearing a white wedding dress, was sitting on a chair.

Her eyes were filled with melancholy, and she had no intention of staring at herself in the mirror.

Lost in thought, her heart was filled with sorrow.

On this joyous day, she should have been very happy.

However, all of this was ruined for various reasons...

It was a fact that Minato summoned the Second Hokage.

In order to help him escape punishment, she made a deal with that person.

As a result, she lost everything except for the last barrier.

And this was not the end.

According to him.

On this day... the day of her wedding with Minato, he would break through the last barrier until he injected the Will of Fire...

In order to prevent Minato from dying in prison.
