Soon, the scene ended, and the screen narrator's voice sounded along with it.

[Konoha, Year 83. Hokage office]
Boruto sat on the sofa, both hands propping up his cheeks, staring in the direction where the screen had disappeared, feeling extremely disappointed.
"Ugh, why is it gone? I still wanted to see what happened afterward. Who actually won?"
Naruto sat behind the desk and, hearing that, felt a headache coming on. "Idiot, you and Himawari are both here, so what do you think the result was? Of course Dad rescued Mom from the enemy's hands!"
Boruto blinked, only then reacting with some delayed realization. "Oh, right." He scratched his head and grinned broadly. "Then Dad's actually pretty amazing, huh."
Naruto proudly raised his chin. "Of course!"
[Of course, Hinata has another famous outfit, and that is the bridal kimono she wore when she married Naruto.]
At that, Hinata appeared on the screen again, with a white flower in her hair, bright red lipstick, exquisite makeup, and a white kimono.
The kimono was white as snow, with elegant patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem. Her long hair was styled high up, revealing a stretch of fair nape. Her whole being radiated a dignified and gentle beauty.
The scene on then screen then switched to Naruto and Hinata's grand wedding ceremony.
Naruto was wearing a brand-new black formal wedding suit, his figure straight, revealing a certain sense of calm and competence. Hinata wore a white kimono and stood beside him, looking radiant and moving, with a faint blush on her cheeks.
The visibly aged Hiashi stood to one side, his eye rims slightly red. A young Hanabi stood beside him, holding a framed portrait in her arms—it was the memorial portrait of Neji.
Their gazes were fixed on the newlyweds, full of joy.

[Konoha, Year 48. Hokage office]
When Minato and Kushina saw the wedding scene on the screen, both of them jumped up in excitement. Kushina covered her face with both hands, tears streaming down.
She hadn't expected that she would actually get to see the scene of Naruto's future wedding!
"Married! Naruto got married! Minato, do you see that? Naruto looks so handsome in that formal suit!"
Minato's eyes also reddened slightly, but he held back and did not let the tears fall. "I see it. He really is handsome. He looks like a mature and reliable shinobi now."
"Hinata is also so beautiful. The two of them really look like a perfect match!" Kushina wiped away her tears. "I don't know if we'll be able to attend the wedding in the future, but at least we've seen it now."
"Minato... I'm so happy."
Minato gently wrapped an arm around Kushina's shoulder. "Mm."

[Konoha, Year 60. Location of Team 7]
"M-Marriage?!" Although he had heard of this future before, actually seeing his own wedding scene with his own eyes made Naruto completely stunned.
Then his face turned bright red, and he jumped up in a fluster. "Hey, hey, hey, what—what is this? How did it suddenly get to marriage?!"
Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, and the others were also very shocked.
"So beautiful!"
Sakura ignored him. She was staring at Hinata's white kimono on the screen, her eyes full of envy. "So beautiful… so pretty…" She cupped her face with both hands. "I wonder what my and Sasuke's wedding will be like in the future?"
Sasuke, however, gave Sakura a disdainful look. "Don't think too much… I'm not going to marry you."
Hearing that, the smile on Sakura's face froze. "Sasuke-kun! What do you mean by that!"
"Exactly what I said." Sasuke turned his head away.
Meanwhile, Sakura started stomping her feet in anger.

[Hyuga Clan]
"Ah, Dad, it really is Big Sister!!" Hanabi pointed at the screen and screamed. "Big Sis really married that baka Naruto?!"
Although he had already known this information, Hiashi was still very excited.
But just as he revealed a gratified smile, his gaze suddenly froze on a corner of the screen. In the arms of Hanabi on the screen was unexpectedly a memorial portrait, and on it was clearly Neji!
"Ne… Neji?!" Hiashi felt as if struck by lightning. His face instantly turned deathly pale, his lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound.
He had almost forgotten that in the future, Neji's fate was death!
Hanabi was also stunned. She looked down at her own hands, as if she were truly holding a framed portrait there, and her eye rims instantly reddened.
The other clan members in the room also fell silent, the atmosphere incomparably heavy.

[Location of Team 3]
Neji sat on the grass, looking at his own memorial portrait on the screen, his whole body frozen.
Could fate really be changed?
Although his strength had increased significantly, Neji still didn't dare be certain. His body trembled slightly, and fine cold sweat seeped out on his forehead.
"Neji!" Tenten and Lee cried out in alarm, their eyes full of worry.
Guy, who was usually burning with passion, was for once unusually grave and steady. He pressed hard on Neji's shoulder, his voice low but full of power: "Neji! Look at me! You must believe that this is only one possibility! The future is in our own hands! Remember, youth never admits defeat! Your fate is yours to break!"
"Guy-sensei…" Neji felt the force coming from his shoulder, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the surging emotions, and nodded heavily.
"Yes! I understand!"
[Speaking of which, as the heir of the Hyuga clan's main house, Hinata's performance since childhood was not considered good. And because she was introverted and less talented than her younger sister Hanabi, she was often ignored by the people in her clan.]
[But during a chance encounter, Naruto stepped forward and protected Hinata from bullying. Although he himself was beaten black and blue, this brave act was deeply imprinted in young Hinata's heart. For Hinata, who had always lived in fear, Naruto's appearance was like a ray of sunlight illuminating her world.]
[Therefore, when the vast majority of people were shunning Naruto, Hinata firmly liked him.]
[And even when Naruto became the hero of Konoha, Hinata instead silently watched him from behind the crowd.]
[To be honest, Naruto's greatest fortune was that when he finally fell in love with Hinata, Hinata still loved him.]
