Chapter 193 Rope Tree's Great Success

Inside the Konoha Guesthouse.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning smiled as he looked at his daughter, "Nobuko, you've met Senju Nawaki and Hatake Kakashi, don't tell me you didn't fancy either of them."

When he said this, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning appeared very amiable, but the deeper meaning behind it was also quite obvious.

He brought Tokugawa Nobuko to Konoha for the purpose of a marriage alliance.

The candidates may vary, but the marriage must be successful!

Nobuko Tokugawa was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Father, I prefer Nawaki Senju."

"Oh?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was somewhat surprised by this choice. "I thought you would choose Kakashi Hatake. After all, that kid is younger and, well—more handsome than Nawaki Senju."

Shikamaru showed Nawaki and Kakashi their basic information to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

There are also photos of the two people above.

To be honest, Rope Tree isn't ugly at all; in fact, he has a very sunny smile. But Kakashi's appearance is just too...

Taller.

He thought little girls would all like handsome guys, but to his surprise, his daughter chose Rope Tree.

"Senju Nawaki is the head of the Senju clan, and with Tsunade awakening Wood Release, the Senju clan is at its zenith. Moreover, Tsunade is Nawaki's older sister, and Nawaki is also Nara Shikatoki's brother-in-law."

"Furthermore, although Kakashi Hatake is Minato Namikaze's student and a strong contender for the Fifth Hokage position, there is still a difference between a student and family."

"Finally, if I had to choose between Minato Namikaze and Shikato Nara as my patron, Shikato Nara would clearly be stronger!"

"I think that for the sake of the Land of Lightning, I should choose to marry Senju Nawaki."

Nobuko Tokugawa's words were reasonable and well-founded.

Of course, this was only said to the daimyo of the Land of Lightning; as for Tokugawa Nobuko herself, she also thought Nawaki was more adorable.

"Hahaha! Well said! Nobuko, you truly are my most beloved daughter. For the sake of the Land of Lightning, you've spoken so well!" The daimyo of the Land of Lightning was very pleased with Tokugawa Nobuko's words. "I also think Senju Nawaki is a good choice. I'll talk to Nara Shika when I go back to Nara."

The next morning.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning couldn't wait to find the Nara deer.

After the two were seated, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning spoke bluntly, "Shikatoshi-kun! My daughter says she's taken a liking to your brother-in-law, Nawaki. I wonder what Nawaki's side of the story is! He wouldn't be so uninterested in my daughter, would he?"

Lu Shi smiled slightly, "How could that be? Princess Nobuko is of noble birth, and Nawaki also likes her very much."

"That's good! Your brother-in-law has excellent taste." The daimyo of the Land of Lightning nodded in satisfaction. "Since both sides have feelings for each other, I think we should get married as soon as possible."

"Isn't this too fast? Rope Tree hasn't even offered his betrothal yet."

"No, no! Besides, I've already brought my dowry!" The daimyo of the Land of Lightning's tone was filled with undisguised urgency. "It's quite a hassle for me to come and go from the Land of Lightning, so I'll take advantage of my presence to hold the wedding."

Lu Shi truly hadn't expected that there was someone even more anxious than the Great Elder of the Senju Clan.

However, it doesn't matter. The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has never concealed his intentions. This marriage is essentially a political exchange.

Arranged marriages are for securing the future.

Shikatoki didn't care about this at all, and he wouldn't attack the daimyo of the Land of Lightning for no reason.

Therefore, when dealing with deer, only the wishes of the rope tree need to be considered.

Coincidentally, Nawaki had a very good impression of Tokugawa Nobuko, you could even say he fell in love at first sight, and that was enough.

"Since Your Excellency has said so, I will now go back and have the Senju clan make preparations."

"Excellent! Excellent!"

When Shika returned to the Senju clan, just like yesterday, a large group of people were waiting for news.

Without further ado, the deer announced, "Rope Tree, get ready, you're getting married!"

Nawaki was momentarily stunned. "What marriage? Brother-in-law, I wanted to ask how your talks with the Daimyo went? As for me and Princess Nobuko—"

Pa~!

Tsunade smacked Nawaki on the head. "Are you really stupid or just pretending?! Shikatoki means you're going to marry Tokugawa Nobuko!"

"Huh?" Rope Tree was taken aback, then his face lit up with barely suppressed joy. "Brother-in-law, really?! You're not kidding me!"

"Why would I lie to you? The Daimyo is even more anxious than you are." Shika said with a hint of exasperation, then looked at the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, we need to trouble you with the preparations for Nawaki's wedding."

The Grand Elder's face was also beaming with joy, and he quickly patted his chest, "Leave it to us!"

The news that Nawaki and Tokugawa Nobuko were getting married spread throughout Konoha Village by the Senju clan within a day.

The person who suffered the most in the entire Hidden Leaf Village was Sakumo Hatake.

He was quite satisfied with Tokugawa Nobuko, but Kakashi was a disappointment.

What upset Sakumo Hatake wasn't that Nobuko Tokugawa was going to marry Nawaki, but that Kakashi, that brat, seemed so indifferent.

"Can you put your lewd book away?!" Sakumo Hatake looked up and saw Kakashi reading Icha Icha Paradise.

Kakashi yawned. "Dad, Princess Nobuko and I aren't meant to be, you can't blame me for that!"

"I think it's because you're always reading porn that people don't like you."

"Hey, Dad, that's a personal attack!"

Seeing this, Sakumo Hatake felt despair. Would he ever see Kakashi get married and have children in his lifetime?!

"Heh! I can't control you anymore, do whatever you want!"

Sakumo Hatake decided to avoid seeing it and got up to leave.

Kakashi rolled over and continued watching Icha Icha Paradise.

On the other side, Shika and Minato gathered together, both of them breathing a sigh of relief.

"We really have to thank Nawaki. Thanks to him, we escaped a disaster." Minato's face was full of relief. "Speaking of which, I originally thought quite highly of Kakashi."

Why?

"Kakashi is handsome and young, which are definitely advantages!"

"That's true, but unfortunately, Tokugawa Nobuko saw through Kakashi's repressed nature; she doesn't like that kind of thing." Shikatoki teased, looking at Minato. "Actually, Minato, you're a bit of a repressed pervert too, you know that?"

"No way, don't talk nonsense." Minato denied it outright.

"Maybe."

three days later.

Nawaki and Tokugawa Nobuko got married.

The wedding took place in the Senju clan, and despite the rush, it was not made simple.

All the required specifications are included.

This also shows that the Senju clan still valued Tokugawa Nobuko.

This pleased the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

After the wedding, the people of Kumogakure bid farewell to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and left.

Rope Tree, on the other hand, still felt a little unreal at this moment. Even though she was already married, she was still somewhat dizzy.

"Nabaki, it's been a week since we got married, why are you still like this?" Shika looked at Nabaki speechlessly. "People say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, how long are you going to be stupid after marrying Nobuko?"

Rope Tree chuckled, "I just feel a little unreal, like I'm dreaming."

Upon hearing Nawaki's words, Nobuko smiled slightly, picked up her teacup, and sat down next to Nawaki. "It's not a dream, you know. I'm Nawaki-kun's wife now."

Nawaki felt Nobuko leaning against him, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Seeing this, Shika knew that Rope Tree wouldn't recover anytime soon, so he stood up abruptly and said, "Alright, you two can keep being lovey-dovey. I'm leaving. Hiashi still needs to see me."

"What does Hiashi want with you? Is it still about that Tenseigan thing?"

Tsunade asked curiously from the side.

She was very curious when Hiashi delivered large and small packages to the Senju clan last time.

Lu Shi thought for a moment, "I'm not sure either. Ri Shi just told me that his wife is giving birth today."

All eyes turned to them instantly.

This made the deer feel uncomfortable.

"Why are you all staring at me?"

"Why would he need you to help him when his wife is giving birth?! It's not yours!" Yecang's words were astonishing from the start.

Lu Shi quickly said, "You can't say things like that! Anyway, I'll find out when I get there."

"I'll be with you!"

Tsunade thought for a moment and stood up.

Seeing this, Zhu Yin and Ye Cang exchanged a glance and stood up. "It's not good for you to go alone when someone's wife is giving birth. We'll go with you."

"Um, that works too." Lu Shi didn't seem to have any objections. "Let's go then."

"Wait a minute, are you going to go empty-handed?!" Zhu Yin sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Wait a minute, I'll go prepare some gifts. You have to bring something, no matter what!"
