Konoha was preparing for the biggest celebration of it's history. It was not a new year, nor the celebrating of the war's end, but the wedding of a hero. A hero that was now the Hokage, loved by the entire population, and far away lands. Naruto, was getting married to the princess of the byakugan, Hinata.

Everyone was exited. Balloons, flowers of all kinds and decorations where running the entire city, as to not miss a single person from knowing the ceremony was today. Everyone was invited, even visitors. The village got very crowded, with special guests coming from far away lands, old friends and even families, not wanting to miss the event.

And while everyone partied in the streets, Naruto looked from a hotel window, smiling and sometimes laughing at the cheers in the street.

"Hey, you're wasting time. Come over here so you can finish preparing yourself" someone said, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"You're... shaking ? Ah...I see. You're nervios aren't you? "

"No I'm not! " Naruto spat, turning quickly and continuing with his suit, avoiding the question.

"How come your hands are all shaky then?"

"Arg- Sasuke, mind your own business! I'm just excited... about this, you know... this is the most important day of my life"

"Hn..." Sasuke smirked. Naruto looked happy; the sparkle in his eyes said it all. He couldn't help but feel good for him and Hinata, even if he didn't showed it.

Naruto's room was filled with his wedding's gentlemen, preparing themselves and also making Naruto look impeccable for his soon to be wife.

While Naruto fixed his shoes and slick robe, his mentor, Kakashi, walked toward him to re-congratulate him.

"Oh boy. ..I still can't believe I'm attending one of my student's wedding. Ah...I feel like shedding a river of tears just for you"

"C'mon Kakashi, don't exaggerate. Besides it's not like I'm the ONLY student who will get married soon" he said as he cautiously got close to Kakashi's ear to whisper. "I think I know who's gonna be next in line, hehe" he pointed at Sasuke smiling beneath his teeth.

"Hey, I heard you, dove" Sasuke glared back. Kakashi closed his eyes and went on a rampage of emotions after that, almost jumping around the room as if he was throwing flowers to the air. The other boys in the room laughed at his cute silliness.

And so, Naruto kept doing his outfit, and as he finished, he took a look in the mirror. At that moment, he went silent. He only starred. Not a word escaped his mouth, yet his lips parted just a bit, as if he was amazed by the story the mirror could tell.

Sasuke noticed this, and stepped behind him, also looking at the mirror. Naruto noticed him and starred at him through the mirror, then back at himself with a gentle smile.

"Well Naruto, you're ready to jump into a new life now..." he said

"Yeah... this feels... almost unreal..."

But their conversation was interrupted by Sai, who was coming back from the living room (said hotel room was big, like a studio )

"Well boys, are we ready to go? Oh Naruto, you look fantastic... by the way, the ceremony is in 1 hour. We need to get going. Shikamaru already went to pick the carriage" (I don't think normal cars will fit just yet? )

"ah- yea, lemme see...Sasuke, see anything missing in me? "

"...no."

"OK. Then we're off-"

"There's one thing missing" someone said. Naruto looked back and saw someone dear to him walk his way, holding something.

The man stepped in front of Naruto, smiling, as he fixed the ornament he was holding to his robe.

"There. Now you are ready" he said, tapping Naruto on the shoulders.

Naruto liked down and saw a pretty red flower, and smiled, followed by a tight hug to the older man.

"Thanks...Iruka sensei" he whispered as his eyes watered by the sudden emotion. Iruka also got sentimental and hugged him back. After all, this was the wedding of his almost "adopted" son. He was proud of him.

"OK. Time to break up. We need to go" Sasuke said, getting his sack and holding it above his shoulder in the back, as he walked outside.

Naruto let go of Iruka, and both walked outside the room, where Shikamaru awaited with a long carriage, held by 6 black stallions with long, silky hair. Everyone got in.

"Let me make a toast, in the name of Konoha's savior, who is soon to marry' Kakashi opened a bottle of sake and poured a cup to everyone.

"For you, Naruto, and the many happy years to come, let this mark the final of your solitaire youth. cheers!"

"Umm...cheers?" Naruto didn't quite catched what he said, but better leave it like that than have a drunk Kakashi babbling all the way.

And so, everyone drank their cups, and the carriage started it's journey to the church.

And so, this is the begging of it all. Next is Hinata's side of the story! Don't miss out. I promise to make this as beautiful as my writing allows it.

And thank you for reading.

Save to your faves!
