Chapter 17 - want to get married

The tense atmosphere and full of an aura of intimidation inside the Hokage's office suddenly collapsed. Your words just slid away, very human and honest, making the whole room seem to have a system error.

Tsunade, who was already ready for political arguments, almost choked on her own salit. Kakashi raised his eyebrows high behind his mask, and Shikamaru held his head, muttering, "Mendokusai... so all this godly pressure is just because of romance issues?"

The silence that had been gripping has now turned into an extraordinary awkwardness.

Konoha's Leaders' Reaction

Tsunade: He let out a long sigh, his anger completely dissipated replaced by deep pity. "Naruto... you almost leveled this village just because you felt lonely?"

Kakashi: He smiled faintly behind his mask. "Well, I guess being a Rikudou God doesn't automatically give you a guidebook on how to date, huh?"

Shikamaru: He looks out the window, then at you. "You're so honest, that's what makes you dangerous. But at least now we know you don't want to colonize us."

The Presence of Destiny

Right after your words echoed, the open office door revealed a figure who had been following from a distance. Hinata Hyuga stood there, his face flushed to his ears, his hands intertwined nervously. He hears every word you say.

"Na-Naruto-kun..." he whispered.

Everyone in the room turned their heads towards Hinata, then looked back at you. They realize that the only person who never turns his face away from you, even when you are a monster or a god, is this girl.

Moments on the Throne

You stood up from the Hokage's chair, your white robes fluttering in your hands. You no longer look like a bloodthirsty ruler, but rather like a man who just wants to be loved.

Me : Asking for Tsunade's Advice. You looked at Tsunade innocently. "Grandma Tsunade, you're the Hokage... Can you arrange a wedding for me? I'm tired of eating ramen alone."

Tsunade was silent for a moment, her eyes blinking as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard. A young man with power that could shake the world, who had just destroyed the symbol of village authority, was now looking at her with an innocent face—asking for help about marriage.

The silence was broken as Tsunade finally burst out laughing, a laugh that released all the tension in the room.

"Naruto, you really haven't changed!" Tsunade hit the Hokage's table until it cracked (again). "You can destroy a meteor, but you're confused about finding a wife? Alright! As a Hokage, this will be the most important SSS-level mission I've ever undertaken."

Wedding Planning of the Century

Tsunade immediately stood up and began to give orders with overflowing enthusiasm:

To Kakashi & Shikamaru: "You two! Prepare security protocols and invitations for all five major countries. I want everyone to know that Rikudou Sennin is getting married!"

To Shizune: "Shizune! Find the best dress designer and prepare a banquet that the ninja world has never seen before!"

Hinata on the Verge of Fainting

Meanwhile, Hinata who was still standing on the doorstep looked like she was about to lose consciousness. His face was flushed red, and imaginary smoke seemed to come out of his head. However, hearing Tsunade acceding to your request, a very sincere smile of happiness emanated from her face.

"I..." Hinata whispered softly, gathering her courage, "I'll do my best... Naruto-kun."

Konoha's Changing Atmosphere

This news spread faster than Hiraishin's lightning. The villagers who had been hiding behind the ruins began to cheer. From "World Threat", you turned into a "Village Bride-to-be" in less than an hour.

Teams 8, 9, and 10 that were surrounding you are now busy discussing what rewards should be given to a God.

Konan, who was watching from a distance (through his paper eyes), smiled and began to fold thousands of colorful paper cranes for decoration.

The Night Before the Feast

Tsunade approaches you, patting you on the shoulder hard. "Listen, Naruto. This chair may be cold, but the house you build later shouldn't be like that. You have given this world peace through strength, now give them hope through your happiness."

Outside Story

Pov : *Not hinata, forget hinata.. Tsunade's Focus* *It turns out to be Tsunade's bride*

Your statement makes the whole room seem frozen in a different dimension of time. Tsunade, who had just enthusiastically given orders for your marriage to Hinata, suddenly stopped moving. His breath was stifled, and an extremely strong red hue ran from his neck to his entire face—something that was very rare to see from the formidable Godaime Hokage.

Shikamaru, who was taking note of the plan, immediately dropped the questioner. Kakashi, who usually always had casual words, could only widen his eyes with a very confused expression.

Tsunade the Legend's Reaction

Tsunade looks at you with a look that is hard to decipher; Between surprised, angry with shame, but there was also a strange vibration in his eyes that had been alive for decades.

"Na... Naruto... what are you saying?!" Tsunade's voice trembled, no longer sounding like a Hokage, but rather like an ordinary woman. "I... I'm much older than you! I'm already like a grandmother to you! You can't pick a bride carelessly!"

You just stood quietly, looking at him with Rinne-Mangekyo's eyes that didn't show the slightest hesitation. To you, age is just a number for a god who has surpassed death.

An uproar in the Hokage's Office

Shizune: He almost fainted on the spot. "Miss Tsunade and... Naruto?! This... This will be the biggest scandal in the history of the five ninja villages!"

Hinata: Hearing that, Hinata lowered his head silently. He felt pain, but he did not dare to go against the wishes of the Rikudou who had chosen his own path. He slowly retreated from the room with a broken heart.

Kakashi: He whispered to Shikamaru, "Well, I guess Naruto always likes to do unexpected things, but this is completely beyond the logic of any shinobi."

The God's Decree

Tsunade stepped back until her back hit the Hokage's desk. He is looking at you—a figure who is now higher, stronger, and more authoritative than he is. He remembered Dan and Nawaki, but before you, he felt something different; a protection he had never felt before.

"Are you serious, Naruto?" asked Tsunade, his voice now softened. "You want to spend that 'colored' life with me? A woman full of failures and a bitter past?"

Me : I like the older ones
