Capital of the Land of Fire. Morning.
Hashirama rubbed his head. He had a massive hangover from last night and felt terrible.
Tobirama looked at his big brother helplessly.
When they arrived at the venue, the Daimyo was smoking the Soft Hwa Gae Mizuna gave him.
"Hiss~ Phew~ Refreshing! Never felt this good before!"
Hashirama walked up to greet him.
"Hello, in-law! You look energetic!"
The Daimyo saw his in-law and immediately put out the cigarette and put it back in the box.
"Aiyaya~ Good morning, in-laws. My energy is thanks to Mizuna. This Hwa Gae is really good to smoke. I feel refreshed after one~"
They chatted for a bit and took their seats.
Soon, all the guests arrived.
The MC walked out and gave Mizuna a signal with his eyes, indicating everything was under control.
Mizuna nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, a Ding sounded in Mizuna's head.
[Ding! Mission Issued! This is a Dual Mission. You can complete either side, or both simultaneously!]
Option 1: The Perfect Curtain Call: Ensure the wedding ends perfectly with no regrets! Reward: Purple-Tier Draw x1, 5,000 Integrity Points.
Option 2: The Wedding Blessed by the God of Chaos (Zheng Huo): Make the wedding end in tragedy and massive mental trauma! Reward: Red-Tier Draw x1, 10,000 Integrity Points.
Mizuna looked at the options. Obviously, they couldn't be completed simultaneously. One was a perfect ending, the other was an abstract disaster. They were mutually exclusive.
Mizuna considered himself a good person, so he would definitely choose Option 1. As for Option 2... the rewards were good, but it was too unethical. If he ruined the wedding, he would be dead meat.
Mizuna made his choice internally.
"I must choose Option 1! With my character, I must choose Option 1!"
While Mizuna was choosing the mission, the MC announced the entrance of the bride and groom.
Mokuma walked onto the stage. In front of him sat Hashirama, Mito, and the others. On the stage, the Daimyo took his daughter's hand and walked slowly toward Mokuma.
The Daimyo placed his daughter's hand in Mokuma's and said:
"Kid, treat Tamako well..."
Mokuma replied quickly:
"Don't worry! Father-in-law!"
The MC looked at the couple holding hands and asked:
"Mr. Mokuma, do you take Miss Tamako to be your wife? To stay by her side through sickness and health, life and death?"
Mokuma Senju nodded and answered:
"I do!"
The MC turned to Tamako.
"Miss Tamako, do you take Mr. Mokuma to be your husband? To stay by his side through sickness and health, life and death?"
Tamako smiled.
"I d..."
Before Tamako could finish...
Suddenly, a group of people burst in, holding weapons. Some were even rogue ninjas. They shouted:
"This wedding is not happening today!"
"Our Boss is the only one worthy of Miss Tamako!"
"Get out of the way!"
Then, the Boss they mentioned finally walked in.
"Tamako! Why be with this trash Mokuma Senju? Am I not stronger than him?"
Tamako looked at the man in surprise.
"Yujiro? Why are you here? I told you, I don't like you!"
Before Yujiro could reply, a person half his height walked out from beside him.
This person was holding an apple. It was Yujiro's brother, Fan Xiaoqin (Little Fan). (Note: References to Baki / Yujiro Hanma and "Little Ma Yun" Fan Xiaoqin).
Yujiro had a strong body but average intelligence. His brother seemed born to compensate for that. Fan Xiaoqin was short and weak, but had super intelligence, basically a supercomputer.
Fan Xiaoqin spat out a piece of apple and said:
"Brother! Why waste words with them? Just snatch Miss Tamako!"
Yujiro was delighted.
"Good brother! Once I snatch my wife, I'll take you drinking!"
Saying this, Yujiro charged forward.
On the stage, a boy about Mizuna's age shouted:
"Protect Big Sister! Get him!"
This was the Daimyo's youngest son, Xiao Jiang (Little General). He was the future heir, sporting a samurai topknot and kimono, looking very much like an acquaintance from Mizuna's past life...
(What? You ask why I'm introducing him now? Actually, he was always there... you just didn't notice... his presence was too low...)
A group of samurai rushed to protect Tamako, but were sent flying by Yujiro.
"Weak! Weak! With us brothers here! The Yanhui Stronghold will prosper! Miss Tamako! Just submit to me!"
Seeing his wife about to be grabbed, Mokuma launched an elbow strike. Although Mokuma hadn't trained much in Ninjutsu, he was naturally strong... just out of practice.
Yujiro was annoyed by the elbow and attacked back. But because he wasn't very smart, he got tangled up with Mokuma.
Hashirama wanted to help early on, but his brother stopped him.
"Anija! Mizuna said not to rush. He will handle it."
Hashirama was confused but listened to his brother and sat down.
However, the crushed wooden armrest of his chair betrayed his nervousness.
Below, Mokuma was still fighting Yujiro. Fan Xiaoqin took a bite of his apple and spat a piece at Mokuma's knee. Yujiro realized his brother was hinting at a weakness.
He attacked Mokuma's knee fiercely. Mokuma didn't understand why Yujiro suddenly knew his weakness and fell into a disadvantage.
Finally, Mokuma was sent flying by Yujiro's Iron Mountain Lean (Tetsuzanko) and crashed into the stage.
Hashirama helped Mokuma up, looking at Yujiro with eyes full of rage.
Seeing Hashirama staring at him, Yujiro mocked:
"Is this the First Hokage? Not that impressive~ Doesn't even dare to fight me~"
Mokuma looked at his father in disbelief.
"Even at a time like this, are you going to endure it?"
Hashirama didn't speak, just suppressed his anger.
Everyone knew Hashirama rarely got this angry.
Madara leaned back, eyes narrowed, not putting Yujiro in his eyes at all.
Seeing no one stopped him, Yujiro got even more arrogant.
"What 'Ninja World's Fastest'? What 'Ninja World Asura'? All bullsht! I, Yujiro, am Saikou (The Greatest)!" (Note: Dio Brando pose).
The three powerhouses on stage watched Yujiro acting like a jumping clown, grinding their teeth. Why didn't they act? Because Mizuna said he mastered a new Jutsu that could make people wish they were dead, and he wanted to test it on these guys.
Otherwise, the three of them would have dismembered these intruders long ago.
In the distance, Fan Xiaoqin watched the scene with confusion.
"Why aren't they attacking?" He took another bite of his apple.
Yujiro was floating on cloud nine. He was being an invincible scumbag.
He walked toward Tamako, picked up a cherry, put it in his mouth, and started playing with it, making "Rero rero rero rero" sounds. (Note: Kakyoin meme).
Tamako was in despair. She didn't understand why her powerful father-in-law and his group didn't save her.
"Tamako~ Today... you are mine..."
Mizuna had finished preparing his Jutsu. With a Body Flicker, he appeared behind Yujiro. He grabbed Yujiro by the collar and threw him at Fan Xiaoqin.
The two brothers crashed into a pile.
Mizuna stood in the center, a crazy smile on his face. Obviously, the Jutsu was ready.
A long time ago, Mizuna discovered his Genjutsu could create memories and insert them into people's brains, making them unable to distinguish reality.
So what if... I create endless junk information? And pour this junk info into the enemy's brain non-stop? Would it form...
Mizuna turned to Tamako and Mokuma apologetically.
"Sorry, Sister Tamako, Brother Mokuma. Sorry for making you wait so long. And Brother-in-law, Big Bro Madara, Mid, and Sis, I will compensate you later!"
Saying this, Mizuna walked toward Yujiro and Fan Xiaoqin.
Seeing a brat acting so tough, Yujiro got angry and charged.
"Wait! Brother! It's a trap!"
Fan Xiaoqin realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
Mizuna crossed his index and middle fingers and shouted:
"Domain Expansion! Infinite Void!" (Note: Jujutsu Kaisen / Gojo Satoru).
...
(PS: The protagonist's Infinite Void is different. It's achieved via Genjutsu, flooding the enemy's brain with junk info to turn them into vegetables or brain-dead. It can be reversed, but only by the protagonist... And he shouted the name just to look cool... Author is helpless ╮(??ω??)╭)
