Chapter 178 Birthday, Wedding
After a moment of contemplation, Xingyuan Qianshuo calmed his mind and prepared to return to Konoha.
On the Red Cross side, the Shadow Clone's chakra reserves are enough to last two or three days. Even if they run out and are depleted, he can always create another Shadow Clone and teleport back.
He first used Kagura's Mind's Eye to cover his senses and confirmed that there were no powerful ninjas near the Land of Rice Fields.
Immediately, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the office.
Konoha Hospital, Tsunade's office.
Tsunade smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling as she turned the pages of a scroll.
When Qian Shuo returned, she put down the scroll in her hand, looked up at him, and smiled like a flower in full bloom.
"Chisaku, you're back just in time." Tsunade's voice was gentle. "Biwako-sensei gave us a list and told us to start writing wedding invitations. The sooner we finish them, the sooner we can send them out."
"Oh, okay." Xingyuan Qianshuo walked over, took the scroll, and glanced at it.
It records the names of many ninja clans and individuals from Konoha.
Given Tsunade's status, it would be unreasonable not to send invitations to these families at her wedding.
At that time, it will most likely be like the opening of the "Spark Charity Foundation", with each family sending their young heirs to attend.
"The tailor shop is urging us to try on our wedding dresses as soon as possible." Tsunade's eyes were full of happy smiles.
"Okay, I'll go this afternoon." Xingyuan Qianshuo put down the scroll and replied with a smile.
With two weeks to go before the wedding, preparations have already begun.
This is also the most important thing for him and Tsunade at this stage.
Since awakening his past life memories, what gives him the greatest sense of accomplishment and psychological satisfaction is not the rapid improvement in his strength, but winning Tsunade's favor and having a true emotional anchor in this world.
In the afternoon, Hoshino Chisaku and Tsunade went to a tailor shop to try on their wedding dresses.
Then, the two of them worked together to write and organize the invitations.
One of the letters was addressed to Jiraiya.
Xingyuan Qianshuo had sensed Jiraiya's chakra in the Land of Waterfall, so he decided to make the trip himself.
Ten kilometers outside the capital of the Kingdom of Taki, the star source Qian Shuo suddenly appeared.
He used Kagura's Mind's Eye to confirm that Jiraiya was still in this capital city.
Inside a hotel room in the city.
Jiraiya sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, with a wooden table in front of him covered with manuscript paper.
He scratched his head and, with great difficulty, managed to squeeze out another five hundred words before casually throwing the pen away.
"Okay, that's enough. Today's task is complete. Time to enjoy yourself."
He stood up, stretched, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Jiraiya assumed they were waiters and casually called out, "Please come in."
"Huh, Chisaku? What are you doing here?" Jiraiya asked in surprise.
"Lord Jiraiya." Hoshigen Chisaku smiled and bowed slightly.
"What's wrong? Did something happen in the village? The old man didn't contact me through the Frog Contact System," Jiraiya asked, puzzled.
"Lord Jiraiya, I came here on my own initiative," said Hoshino Senju, handing over a brand-new wedding invitation. "Tsunade and I will be getting married in two weeks, on January 27th. This is your invitation."
"A wedding?! A wedding?!" Jiraiya exclaimed, his eyes wide. "That's so fast!"
He knew this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
"When the feelings are right, marriage and having children will naturally follow," Xingyuan Qianshuo replied with a smile.
"Yes—" Jiraiya quickly regained his composure, his tone complex, "Congratulations, Chisaku."
"Thank you for your blessing, Jiraiya-sama," Hoshino Senju said gently. "Tsunade and I both hoped you could attend the wedding."
"Yes, I will definitely return to the village on the wedding day." Jiraiya's expression calmed down.
"Okay, Jiraiya-sama, you go ahead with your work. I'll head back now."
After Xingyuan Qianshuo finished speaking, he immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared from the spot.
"Flying Thunder God?!"
Jiraiya was completely shocked.
Even Minato took nearly a year to master the Flying Thunder God Technique.
How long has it been? Qian Shuo has already learned it?
After a moment of stunned silence, he picked up the wedding invitation, examined it carefully for a while, and then casually tossed it onto the table.
My heart was filled with mixed feelings.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
Immediately, that bold and unrestrained expression reappeared on his face.
"Tonight we have to order two—no, five young and beautiful girls!"
After saying that, he strode out the door.
Time passed slowly amidst calm and busyness.
Seven days later, on January 21st, was Xingyuan Qianshuo's birthday.
They did not go out, but instead had a celebratory meal at the Senju House.
The people who came were all familiar faces. Besides Minato, Kushina, Shizune, and the other two, there was also Jabami and Skull.
Skui has completed five medical specialty training courses and has been rewarded with a skill perfection scroll by the system.
Xingyuan Qianshuo even took the time to instruct Sheci and Skui on the Palm Immortal Technique, giving each of them a beginner's tutorial scroll, and the two made rapid progress.
After the dinner party, Xingyuan Qianshuo used his shadow clones to send Jingyin and the other three home.
The main body then teleported away with Tsunade to a scenic spot in the Land of Tea.
Last time, when the shadow clone led Shizune and the other three through this place, they saw that the scenery was excellent and casually left behind the Flying Thunder God mark.
The night sky was filled with twinkling stars, and the waning crescent moon shone brightly, casting its light upon the tranquil mountain landscape.
"What made you think of coming here?" Tsunade looked around and asked softly.
"This is somewhere in the Land of Tea, where the temperature is around twenty degrees Celsius, warm and comfortable," Hoshino Senju said, then smiled slyly. "Moreover, there's no one around for dozens of kilometers, making it the perfect birthday present for me."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's cheeks flushed slightly, and she raised her hand to lightly pat his chest: "Hmph, how could I have agreed to such a shameless request from you?"
"Haha, there's no going back on this," Xingyuan Qianshuo laughed.
He took Tsunade's hand and led her to a nearby flat area.
Forming hand seals, he unleashed the techniques of the Four Pillars of Destiny.
In the blink of an eye, a spacious wooden house rose from the ground.
The two pushed open the door and entered. Xingyuan Qianshuo took out a series of windproof lamps from his personal space, illuminating the room brightly.
The wooden house was not divided into sections; it consisted of only one room.
However, there was a wooden bed that took up almost half of the room.
Tsunade's gaze fell on the bed, her cheeks flushed slightly, and the scene that was about to happen tonight involuntarily floated into her mind.
Xingyuan Qianshuo chuckled, took out the bedding, and carefully laid it out.
Then, he used water magic to quickly wash the two of them.
He sat on the bed, but did not rush to ask for Tsunade's gift.
"Tsunade, I also have a gift for you tonight," Hoshino Senju said gently. "This gift—is rather special."
"Oh? What gift? You're not planning something bad again, are you?" Tsunade pursed her lips and glanced at him sideways.
Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled without answering, and with a slight thought, took out a Nitrogenia plant from the system inventory.
Under the flickering bright lights, a golden luster flowed, as if it were alive.
"What is this?" Tsunade asked softly, sensing a powerful life force emanating from the large "ear of rice".
"Tsunade, there are many wondrous things in this world that even I cannot fully understand," Hoshino Senju said gently. "Just consider this an early wedding gift from the Sage of Six Paths to us."
Tsunade shifted her gaze from the rice stalks to Chisaku, her eyes burning with intensity.
She always felt that Qian Shuo's talent was too outstanding, as if he were shrouded in an impenetrable veil.
"Chisaku, no matter what happens, no matter who you are, you will always be my lover, the person I love most," Tsunade said affectionately.
A warm feeling welled up in Xingyuan Qianshuo's heart, and he responded with equal affection: "Thank you, Tsunade. You are the deepest emotional bond I have in this world."
After a moment, he smiled gently and said, "Alright, this rice stalk is for you to eat, try it."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade didn't ask any further questions: "How do we eat it?"
"Just eat them one by one," Xingyuan Qianshuo said.
Tsunade deftly plucked a grain of "rice" and put it in her mouth.
With a gentle bite, the clear, sweet juice bursts in your mouth, pure and delicious, flowing down your throat.
Immediately, a warm current surged in my stomach, spreading and circulating to my internal organs, limbs, and bones.
Every part of my body, every inch, every cell seemed to be rejoicing.
"Chisaku, this—" Tsunade exclaimed in surprise, "This is too amazing, too precious."
"Okay, keep eating. This one is for you." Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled.
"No, you should eat this." Tsunade shook her head.
"Haha, I have three plants on hand, and I've already tried one. I'll keep the other one for now, just in case," Xingyuan Qianshuo said with a smile.
He took out a Nitrogen rice plant and a stalk of straw from his inventory and gestured to Tsunade.
"Eat quickly, we still have activities after we finish eating."
Tsunade raised the corners of her mouth slightly, gave a soft hum, and decided not to refuse any longer.
Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled slightly, plucked a grain of rice, and fed it to Tsunade.
One pellet after another, a warm current flowed through Tsunade's body like a spring, surging with vitality, and her chakra surged and circulated.
Immersed in this leap in life, both physically and mentally.
After finishing the last grain, Xingyuan Qianshuo casually put away the straw, his eyes flashing as he gazed at Tsunade, who was still lost in ecstasy with her eyes closed.
Under the bright lights, Tsunade's delicate face appeared even more radiant, as if shimmering with subtle light.
A few minutes later, Tsunade opened her eyes, her gaze filled with emotion: "Chisaku, I feel like my body has undergone a transformation, my chakra has almost doubled."
"Twice as effective?" Xingyuan Qianshuo wondered to himself. "It's much more effective than when I ate it myself. With my current physique and bloodline, eating another one should make the effect even stronger."
But the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he suppressed it.
There's only one Nitroso plant left; it's extremely rare. Keeping it might offer a sliver of hope for cultivation.
"That's good. I suspect this plant has the effect of prolonging life," Xingyuan Qianshuo said with a smile. "You may have already lived for over a hundred years now."
"Yes, that's certainly possible." Tsunade nodded, feeling the life force surging in every cell of her body.
"Alright, I've given you my gift. Now, it's your turn to give me one." Hoshino Senju smiled slyly.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade glanced at him sideways but did not refuse.
She crossed her hands to form a mudra—
With a "bang," Tsunade appeared in the room.
"Is there only one?" Xingyuan Qianshuo raised an eyebrow and asked.
"snort."
Time passed, and another week later, on January 27th.
The day of Xingyuan Qianshuo's wedding to Tsunade.
The Thousand Hands Residence has been newly decorated, adorned with festive ornaments everywhere.
The two got up early in the morning, dressed up, and put on their wedding clothes.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was dressed in a well-fitting light blue traditional kimono, looking elegant and handsome.
Tsunade changed into a white kimono, pure and flawless, with a unique charm.
Although they had tried on the outfits together before, at this moment, Hoshino Senju still felt his heart flutter as he looked at the white-clad Tsunade in front of him.
He grasped Tsunade's slender hand; on her wrist was a white jade bracelet, the very one he had given her on the night of their confession—a keepsake left by his mother.
He whispered gently, "Tsunade, you are the most beautiful woman in the ninja world today."
"Really? Am I not pretty normally?" Tsunade asked deliberately, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Of course, you're always the most beautiful," Hoshino Chisaku said earnestly, "but today, you will officially become my wife, more beautiful than ever before."
"Hmph." Tsunade's eyes crinkled with delight as she gave a smug hum.
Xingyuan Qianshuo embraced her, gazing at her delicate and tender face, her glossy red lips almost touching his.
He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
Their lips intertwined, tender and affectionate, their hearts silently merging in that moment.
After a long while, Tsunade gently patted him before he reluctantly parted ways.
"Alright, I have to reapply lipstick again," Tsunade said coquettishly.
"Hehe." Xingyuan Qianshuo pursed his lips, savoring the lingering fruity aroma, his heart filled with happiness.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Inside the training grounds of the Senju residence, tables and chairs are neatly arranged, awaiting guests.
Representatives from all the ninja clans were present, with most clans sending their young heirs.
Only a few clan leaders who were still young attended in person.
The other guests were Xingyuan Qianshuo and Tsunade's friends and close colleagues.
Nonou, Jabami, Skui, Muto, Teuchi, Shizune, and their elders, etc.
Jiraiya sat listlessly on one of the wooden chairs.
He had tried his best to let go completely, but there were still some lingering emotions in his heart.
Beside him, Orochimaru stood pale-faced, a wicked smile playing on his lips, looking on with amusement.
"Jiraiya, today is Tsunade's big day, but you're not looking good," Orochimaru teased in his usual hoarse voice.
"What are you talking about? I just rushed back and I'm a little tired." Jiraiya quickly suppressed his emotions, regained his carefree attitude, and waved his hand.
"You seem so distracted. Didn't you notice that the tables and chairs in front of us are fixed in the ground?" Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Hmm?" Jiraiya looked down for a closer look. "Eh, this is—"
"Just as you think, this should be the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai," Orochimaru said in a deep voice.
He had been studying Hashirama cells and was particularly sensitive to Wood Release techniques.
It's immediately obvious that these tables and chairs grew out of the ground.
Jiraiya gasped, "Could it be that Tsunade has awakened Wood Release?"
"Probably so." Orochimaru nodded slightly.
Besides them, several other perceptive individuals in the training ground also noticed something amiss.
Although they had doubts, no one dared to think about it being related to Wood Release.
The wedding ceremony was scheduled for 9:30 a.m.
The sun is shining brightly today, and the air is warm and inviting.
All four high-ranking officials of Konoha, including Danzo, were present.
Kushina, acting as the wedding emcee, enthusiastically stepped onto the stage and shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived! Please welcome the bride and groom!"
""
The training ground fell silent as everyone turned to look at the entrance on one side.
Xingyuan Qianshuo and Tsunade walked hand in hand.
Against the backdrop of their wedding attire, the groom appeared handsome and composed, while the bride was stunningly beautiful.
Both sets of parents have passed away, and none of their immediate family members are still alive.
Today, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Biwako will serve as their elders.
They sat upright in two high-backed chairs in front of the table, looking gently at the approaching newlyweds.
"Third Generation Master, Teacher." Hoshino Senju bowed deeply.
"Teacher, Dean," Tsunade called out with a smile.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Biwako nodded with smiles.
Immediately, Hiruzen Sarutobi took out a scroll and said gently, "This is a piece of calligraphy that my teacher, Lord Tobirama, gave me years ago. Today, I will pass it on to you."
Xingyuan Qianshuo accepted it with both hands, but did not open it on the spot.
Biwako then handed Tsunade an open wooden box containing a set of exquisite gold jewelry.
She said earnestly, "You should have children soon, don't delay."
"Yes, Professor Biwako." Hoshino Sensaku replied earnestly.
Tsunade's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her eyes, remaining silent.
The wedding proceeded to the next stage.
Although the process was complicated, the two of them did not find it boring.
After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event for them.
The wedding ceremony ended at noon.
The guests took their seats in the training field and began a lively celebration dinner.
