章 7: marriage 1

The streets of Konoha Village were adorned with vibrant decorations, red silk draped over the shopfronts, and small colorful flags fluttering above. The festive atmosphere filled the air as villagers lined both sides of the road, buzzing with excitement.

"Look at that! The Senju clan has really outdone themselves this time, decorating the entire village. It's spectacular!"

"I know! Have you seen their clan land recently? It's been transformed into something out of a fairy tale!"

"I've seen it. It's like a palace, even more luxurious than the daimyo's residence. I wish I could live there!"

"Who wouldn't want to? Imagine marrying someone like that and living in such luxury."

"I heard the new Senju patriarch, Takuya, has enough wealth to buy half the ninja world. This is just pocket change for him."

"Not only that, I heard they'll be handing out red envelopes during the parade today!"

"This is more grand than any Hokage succession ceremony I've ever seen. I'm so jealous!"

The crowd's chatter grew louder as they eagerly awaited the arrival of the wedding procession.

At the Senju Clan compound, Takuya Senju admired his reflection in the mirror, satisfied with his appearance in the luxurious attire. He radiated a charm that was only enhanced by his opulent clothing.

"Takuya, it's almost time," Jiraiya reminded him with a smile, ready to lead the horse for the groom. Though initially reluctant, the promise of a luxurious mixed bathhouse in Konoha had quickly changed his mind.

Takuya nodded and mounted his white steed, giving a signal for the procession to start. The entourage, hundreds strong and led by Jiraiya, moved out of the Senju compound, beating gongs and drums.

"Wow, look at that! The Senju clan's wedding procession is incredible!" exclaimed one villager.

"That's the new Senju patriarch, Takuya! He's so handsome!" another villager added, eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Is that Jiraiya-sama leading the horse? Why is someone of his stature doing that?"

As the procession moved through the village, the villagers' awe grew. Takuya's plan was working perfectly. He knew the importance of re-establishing the Senju clan's presence in Konoha and wanted to make a memorable impact.

Soon, the crowd was showered with red envelopes, further elevating their excitement. This gesture was unheard of, and it solidified the event as a historic occasion in the village's memory.

The procession arrived at the inn where Uzumaki Kushina was staying. Dressed in a stunning red kimono adorned with gold and silver jewelry, Kushina looked breathtaking. She was both nervous and excited.

"Takuya, why are there so many people here?" she asked, overwhelmed by the sea of villagers.

"They've all come to bless us," Takuya replied, signaling the crowd to cheer.

"kushina, happy marriage!"

"Best wishes for a happy life!"

The voices of the villagers filled the air, and tears welled up in Kushina's eyes. She had always longed for acceptance in Konoha, and Takuya had given her that dream.

"Takuya!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around him and kissing him passionately. The crowd erupted in cheers, celebrating the couple's love.

Kushina then took her place in the grand palanquin, feeling like the luckiest woman in the world. The procession continued, making its way back to the Senju compound.

---

The wedding parade was a spectacle the likes of which Konoha had never seen. As they returned to the Senju clan land, the villagers were left in awe. Takuya had achieved his goal, making the Senju clan the talk of the village once more.

Women in the crowd couldn't help but feel envious of Kushina. She had it all: the blessings of the entire village, a grand wedding, and a husband who was not only powerful and wealthy but also deeply in love with her.

The legend of Takuya Senju and his grand wedding would be told for generations, marking a new chapter in the history of the Senju clan and the village of Konoha.
