Your honest and unhesitant confession made the whole room fall silent instantly. There is no longer any debate about logic or age; All that exists is the absolute authority of a man who knows exactly what he wants.
Tsunade was impressed. As a woman who has been through many battles and losses, she usually always has an answer for everything. But this time, his defense collapsed not because of a physical attack, but because of your statement that pierced his heart so hard.
Tsunade's Reaction: Between Shame and Destiny
Tsunade turned her reddened face, trying to hide the small smile that was starting to appear at the corner of her lips. He sighed deeply, then looked back at you with a long-lost twinkle in his eye—a twinkle of life.
"You're really a very stubborn bad boy, Naruto," he said in a much softer, almost whispered voice. "But... I don't think a God really needs to care about what the world thinks."
He stepped forward, standing right in front of you. Even though you're much stronger now, he still looks at you with the firmness of a Sannin. "If you really want me, then be prepared. Being my companion won't be as easy as winning a war."
Chaos (and Happiness) in Konoha
This news struck Konoha like lightning in broad daylight. Reactions from the people around you are very diverse:
Shikamaru: He could only massage his temples. "This is completely beyond my expectations... But if this is what keeps the world safe, then I will make sure this wedding is the grandest in history."
Kakashi: He smiled (it could be seen from his narrowed eyes). "Well, at least now I have a good reason to retire early from heavy tasks."
Shizune: She cries tears of joy while hugging Tonton. Eventually, her Miss Tsunade finds someone strong enough to protect her.
Declaration on the Roof of the Hokage Building
You took Tsunade to step onto the large balcony of the Hokage building, overlooking the entire village that was in recovery. In the scorching sunlight, you held his hand tightly, showing the world that the Rikudou had chosen his mate.
"Listen, Konoha!" your voice echoed with a force that made the air tremble. "I won't destroy you guys. Instead, I'll keep this place—as long as this woman beside me stays happy."
The villagers who were watching from below were silent for a moment, then slowly began to hear cheers. They realized that the salvation of their village now depended on the happiness of the Hokage and her god-equal husband.
Towards a "Colorful" Life
Tsunade rested her head on your shoulder for a moment before returning to her leader mode. "So, my future husband... what is your first plan as the Hokage's companion? Are we going to stay here, or do you want to take me to see the world from your dimension?"
Me : *grandma.. Is Grandma Sure? I'm Naruto. *
Tsunade was silent for a moment at your question. The atmosphere on the balcony of the Hokage building, which had been full of big declarations, suddenly turned into very intimate and calm. He lets go of his hand for a moment, then turns completely towards you.
He looks into your eyes deeply—eyes that now have a god pattern, but still exude the honesty of the blonde boy who used to shout to be Hokage.
The Legend's Answer
Tsunade stretched out her hand, touching your cheek gently. His fingers, which used to hold a bottle of sake or a scalpel, now feel very warm.
"I know you're Naruto," he said in a very low and sincere tone. "That's precisely why I'm convinced. Who else in the world is crazy enough to love a woman who has already lost everything like me? And who else has the courage to declare it in front of the whole world if not you?"
He chuckled softly, a hint of red still left on his face.
"I've seen you grow from a snotless boy who couldn't do Bunshin, to a village hero, to die and rise again as a figure beyond my imagination. To me, you're not just 'Naruto the Jinchuriki' or 'Naruto the Rikudou'. You are the only person who managed to break down the door of my heart that I have locked tightly for a long time."
A Hokage's Confidence
Tsunade pulls the collar of your white robe so that your face is a little closer to hers. His gaze was now full of firmness mixed with affection.
"Don't ask me if I'm sure. Ask yourself... Are you ready to face a woman like me? I'm grumpy, I like to gamble, and I'll never let you just win in an argument."
He smiled defiantly, a smile that reminded you of the early days when you met.
"So, Naruto... do you still want to call me 'Grandma' after we get married? Or have you prepared another call for your future wife?"
The Reaction of the World Below
From under the balcony, the ninjas who saw this moment could only be glued. They saw the invincible God appear to be "submissive" to Tsunade's tenderness.
Kakashi who was watching from afar could only shake his head with a smile. "You have always exceeded my expectations, Naruto."
Nagato and Konan who were monitoring from a distance (through chakra) looked at each other. "It looks like his life is really going to be very 'colorful', Nagato," whispered Konan.
Tsunade had already given her heart.
