A/N: The long awaited marriage is up :) Please read and review your thought.
MewRose/ biodemonangel/ Party blue 2000/ Sweden/ Banpaia Hime/ WolfMistress678/ CMVreud : I hope that you didn't have to wait for long.
TheDevil/ SunglassesSkull: Hehe Sorry about that. I completely that Gai can also summon. Thanks for correcting me.
Stoneyfox: Well thanks for the tip. To be blunt, I became lazy at that point of time and just wanted to finish that chapter so I overlooked that one. I tried to correct it on this one. Check it out and comment about that. As for the sharingan. From what I read about sharingan, acc to Tobirama, it is connected to the emotion and I think the betrayal that Naruto felt at that time was enough for that. I mean she was hated for her whole life and finally she found a hope when she unlocked her chakra but the hope was crushed and betrayal took its place and the wording that Minato was quite harsh. On top of that she is also a part senju. Sharingan and MS unlocking and MS uses can be quite different. Take obito for an example. It was Kakashi who killed the Rin not him but even then he unlocked his MS. and despite using it more often (more than kakashi,who almost became blind by the end of war.) he didn't lost his vision. I can only think of one reason. because of Hashirama's cells. What do you guys think about that. and finally shadow clones. She only used it in large quantity because of the limited time. She won't be using this many from now on for training. and thanks for the comment. because of you guys pointing it, I'm becoming a better writer. Do you think so guys?
Mr. Shiki: Revenge is not always about killing. Read this chapter and think of it as a part of revenge.
KMN 91: I hope that this chapter was up to your expaction.
Kunoichi of the Moonlit Night/ roboguy45: Thanks. Read this chapter. I think you are going to love it since Minato wasn't the only one suffered.
harlequin320: Sorry if you felt like that. but I am only trying to put the stuff that I thought is important for the story
TamashinoSuzume: Hahaha. Your comments always makes me laugh.
Chapter 8 - Wedding
Next Day Morning- 8 AM (Naruto Room)
It was morning and Naruto's room was crowded by many peoples. Among them were, Jiriya, Tsunade, Hiruzen, Kakashi, Shizune and Namikaze family. Some maids were also there waiting for Naruto to get up, who was currently still asleep. Maids have tried to wake up Naruto but she didn't budge. After trying for an hour, they gave up and requested Tsunade.
"BRAT WAKE UP," shouted Tsunade while shaking Naruto's shoulder. All of the other occupants of the room were also trying to wake her up.
"Five more minutes baa-chan," Naruto said as she pulled the blanket over her head.
"You are suppose to get married in couple of hours. Don't tell me that you want to attend your own wedding in a night gown while looking half asleep," said Tsunade.
That seems to do the trick as she jumped out of bed all of a sudden and landed on the floors. "What time is it?" she said as she stumbled because of the hangover. Luckily Tsunade caught her.
"Ah my head," said Naruto. She was holding sides of her head by both of her hands.
After seeing this Tsunade put a hand on her forehead and did a medical jutsu to ease the hangover.
"Are you all right now?" asked Tsunade.
"I have been better but this will work but you didn't answered my question," replied Naruto.
"Its eight o'clock," replied Tsunade.
"WHAT. That means I only have two hours to get ready. Everybody except Tsunade and maids, out of the room now," said Naruto.
"But Naruto..." Jiraiya tried to said something but Naruto cut him off.
"NOW," shouted Naruto.
"Fine. Fine. Let's go everyone," said Jiraiya.
"Naruto-chan, Mito-chan and I can help you to get ready for the wedding." said Kushina hopefully that Naruto will allow her but fate has other plans.
"Yeah nee-chan, Can we help you to get ready?" asked Mito in a excited voice.
"No thank you. Since baa-chan is the bridesmaid and with the other maids helping her, I don't think that I will need help from anyone else. Now if you excuse me I have to get ready for my wedding," said Naruto as she left for the bathroom.
Tears started to slip down from Kushina's eyes while Mito was also looking quite sad. It was always Kushina's one of the dream to dress up her daughter for their wedding but now it seems that their sins are catching up to them. Minato then put a hand on Kushina's and Mito's shoulder and said "Let's go." and they complied.
Couple of Hours Later (Wedding Hall)
The wedding hall was decorated quite beautifully. Everybody has to agree upon that one. Even Raikage and entourage has agreed on that. While the decorations were simple, it also has quite a grace in it. The hall was decorated with all kinds of white and blue flowers. Doors, walls, ceiling was covered with white, gray and light blue curtains. At the end of the hall was a custom made circular podium, which had two pillars with circular roof, all covered in white flowers. There was one line to sum it up. Simple, sober and beautiful.
A was standing on the podium. He was wearing a black kimono which was in white and gray shades. On Mabui insistence, He has shaved off his mustaches but kept his beard. (A/N: Same as his teenage style)
They all were waiting for Naruto when suddenly soft music started playing as Naruto entered into the hall with Jiraiya, Tsunade and Mai.
She was wearing half sleeved white dress with big U shaped neck and matching mesh gloves along with silver necklace. A bit of her low C cup breast was clearly visible. Two curly bangs were sticking out from either side of her face. Her waist length blond hair were tide in a bun and some curly bangs were also coming out of it. She was carrying a bouquet of white lilies and red roses. All in all she was looking like a goddess in human form.
Naruto was standing at the entrance with her right arm linked with Jiraiya's left. Then she slowly started walking towards the podium with Jiraiya. Mai was walking ahead of them while scattering the rose petals on the path while Tsunade was trailing behind them.
As soon as A has seen her, He got rooted in his spot with his jaw hanging slightly. Others weren't fairing any better. They were also mesmerized by her beauty. Leaf group was stunned because they have never seen her looking so beautiful before. To them, she was always a tomboy, orange wearing trouble maker. Cloud group was also in a similar situation. She was completely different from what her file describe her to be. Only Darui was fairing a slightly better because he had already met her earlier and was prepared for this. But even he was captivated by her beauty.
After seeing that she has came close to the podium and Raikage has yet to come out of his shocked state, Darui nudged his sides. That seems to have worked as A came out of his stupor state and looked towards Darui. Darui pointed towards Naruto with his face. A understood the meaning and had the embarrassment look on his face as he almost forgot the custom.
A walked down the stairs as soon as Naruto reached it and held out his right hand, which Naruto replied by putting his left hand on it. A took hold of her hand and escorted her further towards Mifune, who was acting as the priest.
They both stood facing each other. A was towering over her. Where she stood 4 feet 11 inches (in which 3 inches being her sandal's heel), he was standing his full height of 6 feet 6 inches. They both were looking in each other eyes as if to witness something. While A eyes shows nervousness, He was more shocked by the look in Naruto's eyes. Instead of sad expression that he has expected, they were filled with determination and a bit of... hope? A has already understood that the relationship between Naruto and her family were strained. It was clear after seeing that instead of Minato or Menma, It was Jiraiya who was escorting her and Tsunade was acting as a bridesmaid instead of Kushina, and a little girl Mai was the flower girl instead of Mito. At first he thought that it was because they forced her for marriage but after looking towards rest of the Namikaze family it was clear that situation is completely different than he anticipated. He put it on hold for now. He can always ask her later and HOPE that she will tell him truthfully.
As they waited, Mifune started the wedding ceremony.
"We all are gathered here today to witness not only the bonding between two souls, but also between two villages, The village hidden in the leaf and the village hidden in the cloud. In front of all present here, we are to witness this union," said Mifune and after taking a pause he continued with the ceremony.
"Please share the sake," said Mifune as two cups of sake were presented in front of them on a tray, which was carried by a maid.
A and Naruto both drunk half of the cup and presented the rest to each other, which other took and finished the rest of the drink.
'Hmmm. Daiginjo. My favorite. I have to thanks Darui later for this,' thought A. At first like everyone, he thought that some kind of juice or any light sake will be served in the ceremony because of Naruto's age but was clearly happy that it was his favorite sake that was served in the ceremony. He was more surprised by the fact that Naruto was able to drink it without coughing, though there was a very minor almost unnoticeable expression of disgust was present on her face. He wanted to laugh but he was able to held it back.
"A Yotsuki, will you take Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?" asked Mifune to A.
"I will," A answered.
Mifune nodded before turning towards Naruto and asked her the same question.
"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, will you take A Yotsuki to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?" asked Mifune to Naruto.
"I will," Naruto answered.
A became stunned after hearing her voice and thought 'Her voice. It's so melodic. One couldn't help but love her because of her voice alone.'
"Now you both can say your own vows to each other. Naruto-san you may go first," said Mifune.
Naruto nodded but as soon as she was about to begin, she stopped and thought for a moment before making a request.
"Mifune-sama, can I borrow a sword for a moment?" asked Naruto.
Everybody was confused about why Naruto has made such a request. Mifune looked at her face and nodded and asked a servant to bring a spare sword.
After few moments, the servant came back with a sword and handed it over to Naruto. Naruto unsheathed the sword and removed her right glove and gripped the sword with it. She applied a bit pressure so that it can cut her skin a bit. Soon some drops blood started to drop down on the floor.
Everybody was shocked by her action. Some were more worried about her but before anyone could have said something, Naruto started speaking.
"I Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, soon to be Naruto Yotsuki, hear by take this blood oath that I will give the love, care and respect to A-sama. From now onwards, everything that I own, even my mind, body and soul will belong solely to him, to do as he please. I will serve to A-sama and the village hidden in the cloud until my soul leaves my body by whatever means necessary, Whether it is through sweat, blood or if it required then my life itself,"
Everybody was more shocked than before. Taking a vow was one thing, but what Naruto did was completely blown their mind. As far as their knowledge goes, this thing never happen before in any marriage ceremony. They were more shocked about the Naruto's oath. It takes extreme determination and guts to take the kind of oath which Naruto took.
Namikaze family, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi and Hiruzen looking towards Naruto with wide eyes. Soon they came out of their shocked state and Kakashi gave an eye smile. Jiraiya, Tsunade and Hiruzen settled with small smile one their lips. They thought that they should have expected this kind of vow from Naruto. It also shows that she was quite serious about the whole marriage thing. While Namikaze family wanted to protest against the vow, they knew that they can't do anything anymore. Even if they protested, they knew that Naruto will oppose them and it will worsen their already strained relationship.
Mifune and other samurai was also smiling after coming out of their shocked state. They knew what the blood oath means and their respect for Naruto also grew because of this.
Cloud shinobis were more shocked than anyone else. Darui while shocked, was also smiling slightly. While he has anticipated that she might make a strong vow but even he hasn't anticipated this. C and B both stood wide eyed, looking towards Naruto like she does not belong to this world.
"Well she got guts, that's for sure," Hachibi said to B. For the first time in years, Hachibi didn't got any reply from B, who was still looking at Naruto with wide eyes.
'This marriage is not going to be dull after all,' thought Darui.
C has seen the smiling Darui and asked in a low voice "You knew this were going to happen. Aren't you?"
"Only anticipated but not to this extend," replied Darui.
The one who was most shocked was A, Never in his life he thought that he is going to witness something like this. He never thought that someone will make such kind of extreme vow to anyone, let alone to him. Whatever he has expected form Naruto, she was far too different from that. She has already surpassed his wildest expectation and thought 'So that is what Darui meant when he said that I have to wait and see myself.' He smirked inwardly. He knew that he couldn't let her outdo him. He thought about the vow that he prepared earlier and thought 'Ah... Screw this.'. With that A stepped forward and repeated Naruto's actions by gripping the sword's blade which was still in Naruto's hand and said. (A/N: She hasn't removed her hand, if that's what you were thinking)
"I am A Yotsuki, Yotsuki Clan Head and Fourth Raikage of village hidden in the clouds, hear by take this blood oath that my village and I will give Naruto-san the love, care and respect that she deserve as my wife and matriarch of the Yotsuki clan. Our marriage is a symbol of the renewed alliance between cloud and Leaf and as such, I promise you that you will get everything that you deserve. You will be my partner, my equal in all things. May our joining be blessed by Kami-sama and the union of our peoples as well,"
Everyone clapped and Mifune smiled slightly. A maid took the sword from them before Tsunade and C stepped forward to heal Naruto and A respectively,. Since it was a small cut it took them no more than thirty seconds to heal them and clean the blood. Naruto then slid back his glove.
"Ok then, please exchange the rings," said Mifune.
Tsunade presented the ring to Naruto and Darui did the same for A. Then A took Naruto's left hand and slid in the ring in her ring finger and Naruto did the same for A.
A eyebrow twitched as Mifune was about to began. He knew what was coming and because of that he became the nervous wreck. The difference between Naruto's and his height was so much that he couldn't kiss her without bending down to one knee and he was to prideful for that. It also didn't help that if he do that then he will be embarrassing both of them in front of everyone. Naruto noticed it and signaled to Darui. Darui nodded slightly and handed a folded paper to A discreetly.
FLASHBACK
Darui was about to go out of Naruto's room after collecting Raikage's wedding dress but Naruto called him.
"Excuse me Darui-sama, before you go one last thing. " said Naruto.
"And what that would be Naruto-san?" asked Darui.
"I think Raikage-sama might become a bit hesitant during a particular custom in the wedding ceremony. If that happened then I want you to give this paper to Raikage-sama as discreetly as possible after my signal," said Naruto as she handed a piece of paper to Darui.
"This is for Raikage-sama's eyes only so I trust you to not to open it," said Naruto.
FLASHBACK END
"Because they have exchanged their vows before God and these witnesses, have pledged their commitment each to the other, and have declared the same by joining hands and by exchanging rings, I now pronounce that they are husband and wife. May Kami-sama bless this marriage with faithfulness and unbroken love. May A-dono and Naruto-san always be true to each other, may they be one in heart and mind, may they be united in love forever. You may kiss the bride A-dono." said Mifune.
Just after Mifune finished giving his final speech, A discreetly opened the single folded note and took a look. After seeing the content of the note, he grinned slightly and moved towards Naruto and stopped a half step away from her. He then placed his right hand behind Naruto's lower back and left hand on her upper back and leaned forward.
Naruto calculated the distance and knew that with this distance A's lips most likely will reach her forehead at max. She knew that she has to do something immediately because they have one chance and one chance only and they have to make it count otherwise they will be embarrassing themselves in front of everyone. So she took her right foot half step backward while following A and leaned backward, while also raising her left leg to match the angle for balance. They both bent around forty five degrees and their lips became few inches apart. Same as the picture which was drawn in that folded piece of paper. They paused for a moment as both were looking in each other's eyes. Then both moved forward until their lips met. There was nothing amazing about that kiss since it was a simple chaste kiss. After few moments they backed up from the kiss and A helped Naruto to stand properly.
After seeing the position, many wanted to do the cat whistles but stopped themselves due to the occasion.
A took Naruto left hand in his right and they both came forward to stood at the edge of the podium as everybody stood up from their seats and clapped. Some even came forward to congratulate them which they returned with a thank you.
After few minutes both A and Naruto went back to their respective groups. Tsunade hugged Naruto tightly, Jiraiya and Hiruzen patted her back and Kakashi gave her his famous eye smile. Naruto didn't even turned towards Namikaze family to see their reaction. She just completely ignored them.
As soon as A reached his group, he said "Darui, you are the men. First you made sure that they served my favorite sake then you helped me out of a situation that could have been one of the most embarrassing situation of my life; with that note."
"What note you are talking about?" asked C.
"Well I handed over a note to boss just before the kiss," said Darui.
"And what was inside that note?" asked C.
"Don't know," replied Darui while shrugging his shoulder.
"What do you mean by that? You are the one who handed me that note," said a confused A.
"Naruto-san gave it to me and asked me to hand it over to you discreetly if she gave me the signal," said Darui.
At Darui reply A became more confused than before.
"What was inside the note bro?" asked B.
A took out the note from his pocket and showed it to everyone. It showed the picture of the same position in which A and Naruto have kissed few minutes prior.
"You said that Naruto-san gave you this note. Right?" asked A.
"Yeah she told me that she thought you might become a bit hesitant during a particular custom during the wedding ceremony and asked me to give you this note as discreetly as possible after her signal. And it seems that she was right about that." replied Darui.
Everybody from cloud village other than A became confused with that and thought 'Why would boss/bro will be hesitant?'
A frowned and said "How did she anticipated that I will be embarrassed if I had to bent down to one knee to kiss her?"
'So that's why,' everybody thought as this answered their unasked question.
"I told you earlier that there was more to her than meets the eye," said Darui first then continued "Oh and before I forget. The sake was her idea, not mine." said Darui.
A was becoming more and more confused every second so he voiced his confusion "And How did she came to know about my favorite sake?"
"She asked me yesterday and I didn't see any harm in telling her. And from what I heard she even drunk around half a bottle yesterday to avoid the coughing during the ceremony and because of that she was knocked out for quite some time due to the massive hangover," replied Darui.
Everybody was more shocked except C since he also heard about it last night from Minato.
"Yo bro, your luck must have shine to get a wife like the hime," rapped B.
"I agree with B on this one, as I said earlier you have lucked out here boss," said Darui
A nodded then released a sigh and turned towards Naruto, who was chatting with the sannin, Kakashi and Hiruzen, while wondering 'Just who are you Naruto?'
Mid Afternoon - Same day
After a small party, both parties were ready to leave. They have decided beforehand that they will leave on the same day so they have changed their attire to the one more comfortable for the journey. That is where we found them at the gates of the castle and Naruto was saying goodbyes to everyone.
"Take care of yourself brat," said Jiraiya as he released her from the hug.
Naruto nodded. Her eyes were moist as she was trying her hardest to not to cry in front of everyone.
Tsunde came forward and gave her a hug. After that she told him that everything she owned is inside a scroll and the things that she needed for the journey are inside the travelling bag as she didn't want them to know about her chakra right now since this wasn't the right time. She already got the key of the Kyuubi's seal earlier and stored it inside a storage seal on her left shoulder.
Naruto then hugged Hiruzen and then Kakashi. She then moved towards Namikaze family.
Mito and Menma moved towards Naruto and hugged her while saying sorry for their past actions. Naruto didn't object but didn't return the hug either and most importantly, made no comments to their apology.
"Take care of yourself. Mito-san, Menma-san," that was all Naruto said in an emotionless voice.
They both cringed at her emotionless voice and lack of affections since she called them as Mito-san and Menma-san instead of her usual Mito-chan and Menma-kun.
Before they could have said something she moved towards Kushina. Kushina moved forward to hug her but stopped in her tracks after seeing that Naruto took a step backwards.
"Take care Naruto-chan," Kushina said with a chocked voice and tears filled eyes.
Naruto nodded and moved towards Minato. Minato knew that among his family, Naruto and his relationship was most strained one so he didn't tried to hug her knowing she wouldn't allow it. So he simply said "I know that you hate me Naruto-chan. I made many mistakes in my life but my biggest mistake was when I allowed villagers to torture you. I know that I don't deserve your forgiveness but if you can find in your heart then please forgive this foolish men, who didn't appreciated the most beautiful gift that Kami-sama has given me until it was long gone from my reach; you." said Minato with tear filled eyes. He meant every word that he said and Naruto knew it but she can't simply forgive him for everything that he has done, at least not now.
Minato then took out a scroll and handed it to Naruto, who raised an eyebrow.
"This scroll contains your inheritance, your share of money. I wish, I can also give you the copy of all the clan scroll and many other things as well as a part of your inheritance but my hands are tied because of the laws. This the best I can offer to you right now and I am sorry once again," said Minato.
Naruto took the scroll, thought for a moment then turned towards A, who was chatting with his group, few feet's away from her.
"Raikage-sama," Naruto called for A.
A stopped chatting and turned towards source of the voice. After seeing that it was Naruto, who has called him, he went towards her.
"What is it Naruto-san?" asked A.
"Hokage-sama wanted to give me my share of inherited money from clan wealth. So I need your permission to give it back to Hokage-sama as I wanted to go with you with everything that solely belonged to me and since I didn't earned this money, I don't want to take it with me," said Naruto.
A became confused at first because of how Naruto has addressed Minato but let it slid. It seems his suspicion about strained relationship between Naruto and her family was true after all. He then heard Naruto's request and replied "Why do you need my permission for that Naruto-san?"
"Everything that I own is now belong to you Raikage-sama. That means that this money, which is part of my inheritance is also yours. So without your permission I can't return it back," replied Naruto.
Minato, who was standing beside the duo, has became more shocked then before because of the fact that Naruto didn't want her share of money. Whatever doubt they have about her desire to cut the ties with them was confirmed with Naruto's request. Other members from leaf contingent also heard her request but didn't said anything.
While A was more shocked than before and it seems like this was going to be a regular occurrence. After thinking for a few moments A replied "It's up to you Naruto-san but let me tell you that I am not a very rich man and if you are looking for a luxuries life then you should take this money." 'Since most of my salary is going in office repairs which were caused by me.'
"I don't need anything beside food, clothes and a roof to stay under. That is more than enough for me and I will not ask you anything else apart from these things. So if I have your permission?" asked Naruto.
Everybody has became shocked and impressed with that statement and there respect for Naruto only grew because of this. A nodded in response and walked back to his group, who asked him about what happen and A told them about it.
As A and his group were chatting Naruto turned back towards Minato and returned the scroll to him.
"Please Naruto, you don't have to return it," said Minato.
"You already heard my reasons Hokage-sama." said Naruto.
Minato sighed and nodded. He knew that she wouldn't budge so it was pointless to argue. Before he could have said anything else Naruto continued.
"One last thing Hokage-sama. If I were you , I would have increased Mito-san and Menma-san security. Some villagers might try to hurt them since their pouching bag will be gone and I am sure that you want to protect your child's of prophecy. Its goodbye then," said Naruto and turned towards Raikage and walked there without looking back.
Minato stood shocked while watching her retreating back
As soon as Naruto reached the cloud group, Mifune came up to them and gave them a sword. The same sword which they have used for their blood vows.
"Keep this sword with you Naruto-san, A-done. It will keep on reminding both of you of your oaths to each other. and Naruto-san this is for you," said Mifune as he handed over two katanas to Naruto. Naruto took the swords and looked towards Mifune. "They are one of the finest piece of work made by our best blacksmith. You can also channel your chakra into them since they were made by chakra conducting material, after you unlock it of course. But even if you not able to do so, don't be disappointed because these swords are powerful even without chakra. Take this scroll also. It will help you master the single as well as dual katana style." said Mifune as he handed over a scroll to Naruto.
While Naruto was talking to Mifune, Minato walked up to A and said.
"A, Can you promise me something?" said Minato.
"What is it Minato?" asked Minato.
"It's more like a request. Right now I am not talking to you as a Hokage but as Naruto's father. As you might have already noticed that we are not on best terms but that doesn't change the fact that she is still my daughter. So all I ask you is to please take care of her. She might be handful sometimes but she is also an amazing girl. Can you promise me that?" asked Minato in almost pleading voice.
"Don't worry, I will treat her as a princess that she is. I will give you my word on that," said A.
Minato thanked A and walked back to his group. At the same time Naruto also finished talking to Mifune and thanked him for the swords and scrolls and went inside the carriage and they started their journey back to village hidden in the cloud.
A/N: Hello guys. Some of you might not agree with me with the marriage ceremony. Since my religion is different and didn't even knew anything about the other religion's marriage. So I gathered the info from other fictions. I also don't know that whether the blood vow is allowed or not. So I am sorry if I have offended any of you. It wasn't in my intension to do so.
Apart from that, Some of the reviewers asked me to make sure that Namikaze family suffer because of their actions. I hope you all liked it since Jiraiya escorted Naruto instead of Minato or Menma. Tsunade was acting as a bridesmaid instead of Kushina and Mai was the flower girl instead of Mito.
I don't think that they could have received the bigger slap than this.
Next chapter will be a bit shorter than this one. It will be about their journey to Kumo and a small konoha scene. Naruto will reach kumo by the end of next chapter. I will try to publish asap. I first wanted to include that in this chapter only but I never thought that this chapter will this long, so I decided otherwise.
Hope you all liked it and please review.
