Inside the Daimyo's Reception Room.
"Aiyaya~ Lord Hokage, you're still so young, unlike me, already an old man," the Daimyo said warmly.
Hashirama scratched his head and laughed.
"Hahaha! Lord Daimyo still loves to joke. I've aged quite a bit too."
"Speaking of which... I really feel sorry for Mokuma, that child... I know he has always been unhappy here..."
Suddenly, music came out of nowhere.
"You said you don't want to be here! I don't want to be here either!"
"But darkness falls too fast, it's too late to leave!"
Everyone froze. Tobirama turned around to look at Mizuna, who was holding a cassette player.
"Mizuna! Stop messing around! This isn't Konoha!"
Mizuna laughed awkwardly.
"Haha... sorry! Just... touched by the scenery... haha~"
Everyone present had black lines on their faces.
The Daimyo smoothed things over.
"It's okay! It's okay! He's just a child~ Lively and active, understandable."
Hashirama continued:
"This child is a bit mischievous, I apologize. But regarding Mokuma... actually, I was at fault too... I should have asked his opinion back then... It's all because of my incompetence..."
Suddenly, sound came from behind again.
"My powerlessness became my failure~"
"I really can't pretend not to care~"
Silence filled the room.
Mizuna smiled and turned off the cassette player, scratching his head.
"Ah~ Sumimasen~ Sumimasen~ My hand just suddenly..."
No one said anything.
The Daimyo continued:
"Lord Hokage, you are his father. One day he will understand you. Let time smooth everything over..."
Once again, music played from behind.
"Time, time, slow down a bit~ Don't make you grow older anymore~"
Hashirama and the Daimyo were extremely embarrassed.
Tobirama's face turned red. He dragged Mizuna out.
"Mizuna! Stop it! This isn't the place for pranks!"
Mizuna lowered his head.
"Mid, I was wrong... I won't play it again."
Seeing Mizuna like this, Tobirama couldn't do much.
"Forget it... go play by yourself... remember to come back tonight."
Hearing this, Mizuna vanished instantly.
Tobirama felt like he just blinked, and the person disappeared from right in front of him.
"666! Changing faces faster than flipping a book."

Mizuna arrived at the wedding preparation site. Seeing the MC (Master of Ceremonies) practicing his script, Mizuna walked over.
He leaned in to look at the script.
"This... this won't do. This..."
The MC turned around.
"What did you say? What won't do?"
Seeing it was a teenager, he mocked:
"Where won't it do? It's been this script for years, okay? Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open! Writing scripts is hard! And we don't just write randomly! How many years have I been writing scripts? Don't I know what this script is like?"
Mizuna was stunned by the sudden speech.
"No, bro, I just wanted to say..."
Before Mizuna could finish, he was interrupted again.
"Sometimes look for the reason within yourself, okay? Do you have the talent? Did you study hard? Okay? I'm really going craz..."
This time, the MC didn't finish. Mizuna punched him in the face.
BAM.
"F! Let me finish my sentence!"
The MC clutched his bleeding nose and pointed at Mizuna.
"You... you actually hit people? I!"
Before he could finish, Mizuna punched him again.
BAM.
"You what? I what? Listen to me finish, or I'll punch you again!"
The MC became honest and waited quietly for Mizuna to finish.
"There's nothing wrong with your script. It just lacks programs. In slang terms, it lacks 'Huo' (Content/Entertainment/Memes)."
The MC was confused.
"What are you saying? What is 'Huo'?"
Seeing the MC didn't know, Mizuna pressed on.
"You don't even know this? You jungle hillbilly! As the old saying goes: A person can have no money, but cannot have no 'Huo'! If you want a wedding to be good, 'Zheng Huo' (Creating Content/Memes) is essential!" (Note: Shiny Brother meme).
The MC scratched his head confusedly.
"Wait... did old people really say that?"
Mizuna pouted.
"Don't worry about the details! Just listen to me and add a few programs! I guarantee this wedding will be lively and good!"
The MC was confused.
"Wait, who are you? Why are you ordering me around?"
Mizuna pulled out the Thousand Demon Daggers and pressed it against the MC's neck.
"Just do as I say~ If the wedding doesn't go according to my plan... I know where you live, and I know where you work!"
The MC panicked and agreed immediately.
"No problem! No problem! Whatever you say! I have old parents and young children, please don't go to my house!"
Seeing him obedient, Mizuna sheathed the blade.
"Here's the plan... Add some programs in the middle of this script. I'll give you the program list, just do it."
The MC looked at the names on the list and asked in shock:
"Who... who exactly are you? Why are there names of those VIPs on this list?"
Mizuna smirked crookedly.
"I am the Dragon... Pfft! Pfft! I am Konoha's Second Crown Prince! Uzumaki Mizuna!"
The MC froze and replied tremblingly:
"Uzumaki... Mizuna?"
Mizuna smirked.
"How is it? Heard of my prestigious name?"
The MC nodded.
"I've heard. The guy who lost 300,000 Ryo on his first gamble. Terrifying. And also a Panty Thief!"
Mizuna stumbled and almost fell.
"Who did you hear that from?"
The MC thought for a moment.
"In our line of work, we run all over the Ninja World. We have a bit of an intelligence network..."
Mizuna froze, thinking:
Holy crap! Info-broker MC, almost killed me with that one!
Mizuna shook his head, ignoring the false reputation. He took out the speakers and microphones he bought from the System recently, along with several cassette players.
"Come~ Brother! I'll teach you how to use these things. I guarantee you'll Shine! Brightly! in the MC circle!"
Tch~ Hair hasn't even grown in yet, calling me 'Brother'... And who wants to work with you! The MC thought, but couldn't say it.
Because he couldn't refuse. Mizuna had a sword. Whatever he said, goes...
A while later.
"Amazing! Speaking into this 'microphone' thing amplifies the volume? The speakers can play the amplified sound? And this magical cassette player! Wonderful!"
Mizuna patted the MC's shoulder with a smile.
"See? Didn't lie to you, right? With these things, it'll be hard not to become famous~"
The MC turned to Mizuna.
"Brother! My dear brother! Is what you said true? You'll give me these things after the wedding?"
Mizuna nodded.
"That's right! A gift! But you have to promote that these things come from Konoha, and the songs were created by me!"
The MC nodded like pounding garlic.
"Don't worry! I will make your name known throughout the Ninja World!"
"Alright! Can you give me a contact method? If there are new songs later, I'll find you~" Mizuna laughed.
The MC's pupils quaked.
"There's more later?"
Mizuna patted his chest.
"Guaranteed, brother! Village folks never lie!"
The MC was moved to tears and bowed.
"Great Sage of Six Paths! Thank you for sending blessings! Letting my dear brother appear before me!"
In the Pure Land.
Sage of Six Paths: "Achoo! Is someone worshipping me again?"
Mizuna watched the scene with a诡異 (weird/scheming) smile.
Mizuna was setting up a big plan. A big plan encompassing the entire Ninja World~
More accurately, Mizuna wanted to change not just Konoha, but the Ninja World itself!

While Mizuna was laughing happily, Kakuzu's situation was different.
"AAAAAHHHH! Where are my clothes!"
Kakuzu was completely naked, except for his lucky red underwear.
Luckily, his money was in his underwear, so he escaped financial ruin.
Kakuzu just wanted to find a place to sleep for a bit. Unexpectedly, he woke up to find himself Zero-Dollar Shopped (robbed clean).
"Bastard! Don't let me find you! If I find you, you won't have any good fruit to eat!"
Kakuzu's roar echoed through the canyon...
