Prologue
There is hardly anyone who missed the news about a certain gentleman who bought a large area of property situated in the Western part of Konoha prefecture. As many villagers would think, Konoha has nothing much to boast about except from some old shrines, temples and other historical sites situated at the outskirts of town. There were also some infrastructures but most of the lands remain undeveloped. Konoha was also way too far from the bustling streets of Tokyo.
However, many were in shock and awe upon knowing that somebody has managed to snag the largest property in the village. It was a feat, defeating other prospective buyers when it was auctioned—he really must be something.
The property has its own elegance. It was an old Japanese-styled house with beautifully landscaped gardens, and an own hotspring. Its main feature is the well maintained sakura grove which was planted along a stony pathway at the rear part of the house. It has its own historical value, for the house was believed to be owned by a certain daimyo during the shogunate era. That information, how credible it may be, also added to its total cost.
There were minimal renovations, but the said gentleman requested to have some "modern" things be added to his own property like courts for basketball and tennis.
People began speculating as to how much it has cost or how rich the gentleman is. For someone who had the luxury to buy a property which probably cost millions or even billions of yen. What intrigued them the most is to whom the property belongs now?
Rumors say that a young gentleman and "bachelor" from Tokyo has set his eyes on the beautiful place, that the property was bought as a vacation house away from the busy and noisy streets of Tokyo. Witnesses say that they have taken a glimpse of the gentleman to be such a very handsome young man.
Upon hearing this, many ears of the young eligible women of Konoha perked up. This could be a chance for a marriage, which is why they started their insights on their new prospect. Being able to snag this young gentleman means living in luxury and having anything that would make any other woman green with envy.
Everyone is looking forward to meeting the young persona and excited villagers were wondering when the said person will arrive. Rumors also has it that preparations have been going on, meaning that the day they are all waiting for will soon come by.
They did not wait that long enough, soon two black cars entered the town of Konoha. The day they've all been waiting for has finally arrived.
A/N: There it is. Please read and review. Arigato!
