Chapter 202: Thank You for the Special Invitation to Witness Your Love

In the gap while Uchiha Gin was preparing the congratulatory gift, the intense interaction on the battlefield had begun to draw to a close.

Because both sides of the confrontation had been notified in advance and couldn't fight with real swords and guns, they could only use their not-so-proficient tongues to start a war of words.

"Is your Senju clan capable? So weak?"

A handsome-looking Uchiha clan member waved his hand to deflect the fists of a simple-looking Senju clan member in front of him, frowned with a pair of sword-like eyebrows, and the yin-yang strange voice in his mouth made the other person's teeth itch with anger.

"Ugh, you sharp-tongued guy, our Senju are famous for being persistent, unlike you Uchiha who are silver-spear wax heads, good-looking but useless!"

Even a clay figure has three points of temper. The simple-looking young man of the Senju clan racked his brains before thinking of a rebuttal.

"Hmph~ Whether it's useful or not, try it and you'll know!"

Located behind the Senju clan camp, in a tent that had been specially decorated, sat a tall figure with long black hair.

Senju Toka, dressed in a white wedding kimono, was uneasy. Her two fair and slender hands were nervously folded together, and her slightly white knuckles exposed her uneasy mood.

"Is this a bit too fast?"

Senju Toka, who had become the Clan Leader's wife in a muddle, hadn't yet recovered from the shock of her change in status.

Two days ago, Senju Toka, who was patrolling with her subordinates, was suddenly arranged to go to the Clan Leader's office by a transfer order.

The one who interviewed her was the cold-faced Second-in-Command, Senju Tobirama. As soon as she saw him, she couldn't help but recall the explosive scene she had seen in the small woods one day.

Senju Toka was so scared that she thought the other party was here to kill her to silence her. But she hadn't expected that Senju Tobirama just looked her up and down,

and after asking a few simple questions, he nodded reluctantly, saying that there was an important task related to the survival of the family to be handed over to her.

Senju Tobirama, with his brows tightly furrowed, looked at the tall, beautiful black-haired woman in front of him. Although he was a bit reluctant, he still nodded, recalled the other's resume, and then asked,

"Senju Toka, I remember you lived in our house for a while when you were young, right?"

"Yes, Lord Tobirama. My father was once the Clan Leader's personal guard, so I was fortunate enough to have lived in the Clan Leader's mansion."

Not daring to look directly into those scarlet eyes full of oppression, Senju Toka lowered her head and replied very respectfully.

"Then, what was your impression of us at that time?"

Senju Tobirama asked Senju Toka in a cold tone, wanting to see if his big brother had left any good impressions on this woman in the past.

"Uh, I'm really sorry. At that time, my status was low, and I didn't have any interaction with the young clan leaders, but..."

Senju Toka didn't expect the other party to ask such an ancient question. After thinking for a moment, she replied truthfully.

But as her thoughts drifted, a small, lively figure appeared in her mind.

"But what?"

Seeing Senju Toka stuttering, Senju Tobirama, with a slumped face, asked impatiently.

"It was just Itama-sama..."

Recalling the little black-and-white-headed guy who always hung behind her, a trace of warmth rose in Senju Toka's heart. She raised her head, her eyes also filled with a bit of nostalgia, and she replied slowly.

But before she could finish, she was interrupted by a terrifying aura.

"Don't mention that name!"

With bloodthirsty hatred shining in his eyes, Senju Tobirama clenched his fists, his face became very ferocious, and the pressure he exuded made Senju Toka, who had only said half, unable to breathe instantly.

It's over, am I going to die?

Senju Toka, whose legs were softened by this aura, started a lantern-like mode in her mind. Her thoughts had just returned from childhood, but she found that the pressure around her came and went quickly.

Relieved, she was drenched in cold sweat, and the look in her eyes toward Senju Tobirama was also full of awe.

"Hoo~ Sorry, I was a bit excited."

After his mood calmed down, Senju Tobirama rarely apologized to others. He looked at the slightly trembling Senju Toka, reached out his hand, and gestured for her to turn around.

Baffled by this operation, Senju Toka still obeyed, and then stood up straight and turned around a few times on the spot.

"Hmm~ Hmm~ Okay, it's an easy-birth type."

Senju Tobirama, who had just made a surprise attack and crammed knowledge in this area yesterday, looked at Senju Toka from top to bottom, compared her with the content described in the books, and finally reached a perfect conclusion.

"Okay, you go back and wait. Someone will come to your door in these few days."

After checking for his dear big brother, Senju Tobirama waved his hand tiredly and notified her.

"Ha?"

Although her heart was filled with question marks, due to Senju Tobirama's terrifying expression, Senju Toka still fled in a sorry state. Just as she was about to reach the gate, a tall figure walked toward her.

"Greetings, Clan Leader!"

Seeing Senju Hashirama, Senju Toka immediately suppressed the doubts in her heart and bowed to him respectfully.

"Hahaha, isn't this Toka? Long time no see~"

Senju Hashirama, who hadn't realized he had been arranged, was still happily greeting Senju Toka.

"I still remember when you were young, Itama quite liked you and always loved playing with you."

Senju Toka didn't expect Senju Hashirama to remember things from when they were young. Excited, she nodded repeatedly.

"Ai, that's no way around it. Compared to us big rough guys, Itama definitely preferred playing with you. After all, you are both..."

A touch of tenderness appeared in Senju Hashirama's eyes. As he spoke, it turned into loneliness, and a decadent aura exuded from his body.

"Sigh, forget it. Tobirama still has something to find me for. Let's chat together when we have time next time."

Just like that, Senju Toka, who was confused, obediently returned home and waited for the so-called important task from Senju Tobirama.

"What? Let me marry Toka?"

In the Clan Leader's office, Senju Hashirama, whose mouth was open wide enough to stuff a watermelon, looked at his most trusted younger brother in disbelief, his eyes full of the pain of being betrayed.

"I have already screened all the women of marriageable age in the clan. From family background, appearance, figure, to personality, after layer-by-layer selection, Senju Toka is the best candidate."

Ignoring his big brother's expression of "I'm moved but I refuse," Senju Tobirama turned around, took out a thick stack of information from the drawer, and threw it in front of Senju Hashirama.

"Tobirama, is it necessary?"

Looking at the female information marked with various remarks in front of him, Senju Hashirama, who was unwilling in his heart, muttered.

"Although that stinky woman from the Uzumaki clan broke off the engagement, as the Clan Leader, your marriage cannot be delayed."

First, he scolded Uzumaki Mito in the void, then Senju Tobirama turned his head, his scarlet eyes carrying an irresistible meaning, and said coldly,

"In order to prevent you from having some inappropriate thoughts outside, the shackles of family are very necessary."

"Hiya~ Tobirama, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Patting Senju Tobirama's shoulder, Senju Hashirama, who had a guilty conscience, smiled very reluctantly.

"You don't need to understand, you just need to obediently go get married."

Senju Tobirama, who knew his big brother's thoughts well, immediately made a decision, saying that he was his only relative and should naturally worry about his lifelong event.

"I don't want to..."

"You want to!"

Looking at his aggressive younger brother, Senju Hashirama, who knew he absolutely couldn't win against him, had to compromise.

"Hoo~ Big brother, actually I did it for the sake of the family. Now the battle with the Uchiha has entered a white-hot stage, but the clan members are exhausted one by one. Holding a happy event at this time to let them relax briefly is conducive to adjusting the clan members' mentality and letting them better welcome the subsequent battles."

"Uh, it has this effect?"

After listening to Senju Tobirama's nonsense, Senju Hashirama scratched his head, and his brows furrowed into a "chuan" shape.

"Big brother..."

"Then when are you going to hold it?"

Senju Hashirama, who was forced onto the shelf, sighed and asked.

"In these few days."

Delay will lead to changes; this must be done immediately.

"Ha? Is it so urgent? But isn't there still a war going on? What about Madara's side..."

"Why do you care about him? Hmm, that's right~ Big brother, go and notify him."

Whenever Uchiha Madara was mentioned, anger rose in Senju Tobirama's heart. But then he thought that this matter could irritate that hateful Uchiha, and he instantly felt clear-minded. With a cold sneer in his heart, he arranged it with a strange expression.

"Alright~"

So the next day, Senju Hashirama, driving the Buddha, excitedly found Uchiha Madara and smiled as he handed him the wedding invitation.

"You're getting married?"

Uchiha Madara, who was confused, subconsciously pinched a large hole in the wedding invitation in his hand. His scarlet eyes were full of disbelief.

"Yeah, tomorrow. Hahaha, I won again this time~"

Senju Hashirama smiled very brightly, and the laughter in his eyes stung Uchiha Madara so much that he couldn't open his eyes.

"We are still at war!"

Uchiha Madara was choked with anger. He waved the fan in his hand, pointed at Senju Hashirama's nose, and shouted a reminder.

"I know, so I came to discuss it with you."

"We single dogs have nothing to say to a 'normie' like you!"

Uchiha Madara, who was furious in his heart, held his head high and replied with an inexplicable tone.

"Hiya~ I just want to make an agreement. Can we not see blood in tomorrow's battle? After the fight, I'll set a table in the middle of the battlefield and invite you two brothers to have a drink."

Senju Hashirama rubbed his hands, a rare look of pleading appearing in his eyes. Although the two clans had been fighting endlessly due to generational grievances,

in his heart, Uchiha Madara was always his best friend. How could his best friend's blessing be missing from such a big life event as marriage?

"Madara, I beg you!"

Just look: the wooden man under Senju Hashirama, following his words, twisted his huge body, took a few steps back, and performed a classic dogeza on the ground. His huge head smashed heavily on the ground, shaking the earth.

"Is it okay if I kowtow to you once?"
