Don't own anything.

Briefly Ren wondered if it was wrong, as he watched the older, (much older) man waltz with his daughter.

His hand were so rough, torn and beaten with each days labor, and yet he was not the rich handsome man he'd hoped his Sakura would marry.

He was to secluded, often found with his nose burried in the pages of a filthy book, and yet this man had come to him begging for the Haruno's daughter in marriage, and then amended his words and instead asked for a blessing instead.

"Because Sakura is Sakura, and she'd probably pummel me through a wall for insinuating that she could just be given agway. You know her feminism and all that."

They both knew it was more than a joke.

It was a warning.

I'm marrying her whether you like it or not, I'd just prefer for you to like it atleast for her sake.

So he did the most logical thing for any father to do. He let out a sigh and invited the man in for tea. Then once the door was closed and noone could see Ren jumped the elite ninja raining fiece blows on the mans half-maksed face, shoulders and gut.

Of course Kakashi let him, because it looks really really bad when you put your-would-be father in law in the hospital. Especially, when it's your civillian-would-be-father-in-law.

The Haruno man let out a sigh and leaned back, of course in the end Hatake Kakashi stole away his daughter anyway, and so here he was at the wedding.

Never in his life had he seen such an odd crowed.

There were of course, ninjas (not surprising as both bride and groom held such occupations), doctors (Sakura), civillians (most of the Haruno clan and some others), both present and past Hokages (from the looks of it Tsunade-sama was enjoying the open bar quiet a bit), politicians (apparently Sakura was very involved in village politics and them not getting an invitation would of course not end well), and oddly enough the Kazekage, Mizukage, and Raikage were present each with their repective guards(...politics?).

Hell even the village elders showed up (they expected and invitation, however it was rare that they acutally attended).

And as he study the withered fromer-nin, Ren noticed it.

Blatant digust.

He followed their gaze and gound himself watching his daughter and her husband dance the night away.

Suddenly their ages didn;t matter anymore nor did their former-relationship not their wealth because as he watched them he found that he would give anythin to see his daughter that happy forever.

So when Toasts and Speeches came about Ren threw away his written and rehearsed speech and settled instead for a threat.

"You better not hurt her Hatake because if you do i'll hunt you down..."

The rest was followed by a creative impromptu threat that was very detailed and very wince-worthy.

"So that's where you get it from Sakura-chan! " A few chuckles followed, and the blushing bride was well blushing, and looking slightly betrayed.

"Well now I can rest easy knowing that I have one-less enemy today."

Ren smiled.

That was a good response.
