The next morning, around five o'clock, Ryun was dragged out of bed by Madara Uchiha. He yawned, "Why so early, Granduncle?"
He hadn't slept enough yet...
Madara's mouth twitched. "You're getting married today. There's a lot to do: makeup, outfits, preparing lucky money to scatter on the streets later."
Ryun jolted awake. "Then what are we waiting for! Granduncle, why did you only wake me up now? Don't delay my major life event!"
Madara: ...
However, he didn't argue, just shook his head and then clapped his hands. Immediately, a group of people entered from outside: makeup artists, tailors, all crowding forward.
Madara said in a deep voice, "One at a time. A heavy reward for doing a good job. Tailors, place the clothes over there..."
Madara began organizing everything in an orderly manner, while Ryun cooperated actively. Suddenly, he asked, "Granduncle, where's Grandpa?"
"Your grandpa? He's finding you a grandma." Madara's lips curved upward, as if he thought of something amusing, his shoulders shaking slightly.
Ryun: ???
Wait, what's going on? Is he that unreliable? But then he thought about how his grandfather was only in his early twenties now, and let it go.
He stopped paying attention to Izuna Uchiha and continued with his makeup. After about an hour, Ryun's makeup was done.
His waterfall-like long hair was tied into a ponytail with a red cord. He wore a black montsuki haori hakama (a black robe with a black and white skirt), a bright smile on his face.
Even the makeup artist couldn't help but sigh: what a handsome young man. It felt like even without makeup, his looks could outshine a crowd.
Madara nodded. "Good, it fits well. From now on, live well with Tsunade and continue our family line!"
Ryun smiled and nodded. Joy lends energy to the spirit; he could hardly wait now.
Senju Clan Compound
Tsunade, wearing a shiromuku, was also having her makeup done. At this moment, she was radiantly beautiful, a smile playing on her lips, her heart filled with anticipation. Today, she was marrying Ryun!
After getting married, they could do, you know, those love things, right? Ryun shouldn't have any reason to refuse then.
Her heart felt sweet.
Soon, she was ready and gently pushed open the door.
Instantly, the gazes of Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Nawaki Senju turned towards her.
Hashirama smiled with satisfaction. His granddaughter was truly beautiful! Even Tobirama's usually icy face showed a smile.
Nawaki, however, looked puzzled. Was this really his unruly older sister? Why was she so gentle? Something was wrong, very, very wrong.
Seeing Nawaki's expression, a vein bulged on Tsunade's forehead. She could tell her little brother was thinking nonsense again.
So, with a smile, she lightly stepped forward, raised her right hand, rolled up her sleeve, and brought it down hard.
"Ooooooh~" Nawaki let out a sound like Tom the Cat. Yep, yep, this was still his sister!
Hashirama scratched his head at the scene. Tobirama shook his head, wondering if Ryun would be able to handle married life.
Ryun sneezed. "Achoo!" Damn it, who's talking behind my back? You bastard, just you wait when I find out!
By eight o'clock, both Ryun and Tsunade set out from their homes, followed by clan members and family, heading to the Uchiha clan's Naka Shrine.
Ryun and Tsunade arrived at the Naka Shrine one after the other. The Uchiha clan members were already waiting at the shrine. Seeing Ryun arrive, they immediately went forward to greet him.
"Hokage-sama!" one of them said.
Ryun waved his hand. "Today, there is only Ryun, no Hokage." He said with a smile, his tone gentle.
The man nodded. "Yes!" Then he escorted Ryun into the shrine to stand on the right side.
Then Tsunade arrived, greeted by Mito Uzumaki. Due to the eternal life ocular technique, Mito, standing at the entrance, looked almost like a sister to Tsunade.
If not for her red hair and the solemn attire of the Uzumaki clan princess, everyone would have thought she was Tsunade's older sister.
"Grandma," Tsunade said, a little shyly.
Mito nodded, beaming. "Hurry inside." Then, holding Tsunade's arm, she walked into the shrine and stood on the left side.
Ryun looked to the left and saw Tsunade in her shiromuku, holy and pure like a fairy, making his heart race.
Tsunade seemed to have a telepathic connection with Ryun. She turned to look at him, her face instantly blushing. She thought, 'Ryun is so handsome today too~ Aaaaaah~'
Ryun and Tsunade's eyes were almost forming strings between them. Suddenly, someone coughed and said, "Begin the ceremony!"
Only then did the two snap back to reality. They turned forward, looking ahead, though their peripheral glances still stole looks at each other.
The priest for today was Hirotomo Uchiha. Dressed in priest robes, he came before the two and said, "Worship the gods."
Ryun and Tsunade knelt simultaneously on the zabuton cushions, hands together, making wishes and praying for divine blessing.
Then, following Hirotomo's guidance, they offered sake, threw coins, etc...
Then came the vows.
"I, Ryun, today take Tsunade as my wife. From now on, I will never leave nor abandon her, in life and death together."
"I, Tsunade, today marry Ryun. I will honor him as my husband. From now on, I will never leave nor abandon him, in life and death together."
They looked into each other's eyes. Ryun's eyes were bright and full of joy. Tsunade's gaze was gentle, tender like water.
Ryun took out the prepared ring box and placed the diamond ring on Tsunade's finger.
Slowly, he extended his left hand and took Tsunade's right hand. Tsunade's eyes were filled entirely with Ryun, who was now on one knee. Finally, they were exchanging rings!
Ryun smiled slightly and took out the diamond ring. Everyone present widened their eyes. What kind of ring was this??? They had never seen one before!
Was that a gem on the ring? It's reflecting the sunlight! So bright!
Oh my, the Hokage actually has such a treasure! I must ask him later where he got it. I need to find a way to get one too!
Tsunade's eyes widened. She hadn't expected Ryun to prepare not an ordinary gold ring, but such a beautiful, exquisite ring.
As far as she knew, this should be the first ring of its kind in the ninja world! Both its value and significance were extraordinary!
The diamond ring was slowly placed by Ryun onto the ring finger of Tsunade's right hand. The size was just perfect!
Seeing this, Ryun nodded. All that hand-holding hadn't been in vain; his estimated measurements were correct.
He looked up at Tsunade, only to find her eyes reddening, her lips pursed. He panicked. Had he done something wrong? Why did Tsunade look like she was about to cry?
