Chapter 99 – Wishes for Naruto and Hinata 祝福鸣人和雏田

Two years flew by. Konoha Village, enjoying peace, brimmed with new life. On this day, the village was full of activity. Naruto and Hinata's wedding was just around the corner. The streets were decked out with festive decorations. Red lanterns and colorful streamers swayed in the breeze. Shinobi and villagers alike bustled about, putting the final touches on the grand celebration.

Inside the Ninja Academy, chaos reigned. New - enrolled students were chasing and playing, creating a ruckus. On the playground, several mischievous kids were having a shuriken - throwing contest. The school building windows were almost smashed to pieces. "Cut it out, you troublemakers!" The academy teacher, seething with anger, roared at the top of his voice and bolted in pursuit.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, Kakashi, the Sixth Hokage, held a list in his hand. The desk was piled high with wedding - related documents. He let out a soft sigh and turned to Shizune. "Shizune, is there still a dispute over the duty roster for the wedding day?"

Shizune flipped through the papers in her hands, shaking her head helplessly. "Everyone wants to attend Naruto and Hinata's wedding. No one's willing to stay on duty..."

Kakashi rubbed his temples in resignation. "Looks like we need to figure something out..."

To make Naruto's wedding extra special, Kakashi secretly assigned a "secret mission" to Naruto's classmates and friends. Each person needed to prepare a unique wedding gift. As soon as the task was announced, Naruto's friends began thinking hard.

Rock Lee was particularly excited. He found his teacher, Guy. "Sensei! I've decided. We'll give Naruto and Hinata a pair of dumbbells, symbolizing togetherness!"

Guy slapped his thigh, agreeing with enthusiasm. "Great idea! Naruto and Hinata's future should be full of sweat and hard work!" The two wasted no time, crafting a pair of dumbbells engraved with the word "Youth," ready to present them at the wedding. Neji and Tenten had been sighing non - stop since then.

On the other side, Shikamaru was deep in thought. He knew Naruto and Hinata would need a chance to relax after getting married. So, he discussed with Choji and decided to arrange a hot - spring honeymoon. While they were searching for a suitable inn on the street, they ran into Temari.

"How come you're here?" The question left both Temari's and Shikamaru's lips at the same time. Their voices were dripping with discomfort.

"I... I'm picking a wedding gift for Naruto," Shikamaru said, scratching his head.

"Oh? What a coincidence. Me too." Temari raised an eyebrow. Instead of prying, she suggested, "Well, then let's look together."

Shikamaru nodded reluctantly. As they checked out hot-spring inns outside the village, their initial awkwardness melted into friendly chat. Choji watched Shikamaru and Temari drift farther away.

...

At Ino's flower shop, Ino was arranging flower bouquets. "Lin Yuan, what gift are you getting Naruto and Hinata?" she asked casually.

Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously. "I have an idea, but I'm not telling you."

"Huh?" Ino stopped what she was doing and squinted at Lin Yuan. A dangerous aura filled the air.

Moments later, Lin Yuan was sweeping in front of the flower shop, a red and swollen forehead on display. He mumbled under his breath, "Is this the power of 'big - sister' dominance?"

Standing at the door, Ino placed her hands on her hips and let out a triumphant snort. "Your secretiveness is getting you nowhere! It's about time you knew who calls the shots!"

=====================

两年的时光飞逝,木叶村在和平中焕发了新的生机,而这一天,村子里格外热闹,鸣人和雏田的婚礼即将到来.街道上挂满了喜庆的装饰,红色的灯笼与五彩缤纷的彩带随风摇曳,木叶的忍者和村民们纷纷忙碌起来,为这场盛大的婚礼做着最后的筹备.

忍者学校里却是一片混乱.新入学的学生们因为追逐玩闹,闹得不可开交.操场上,几名调皮的孩子正用手里剑比赛,差点把校舍的窗户打破."站住!你们这些臭小子!" 忍者学校的老师气得满脸通红,扯着嗓子追了上去.

与此同时,火影办公室内,六代火影卡卡西拿着一份名单,面前堆满了婚礼的相关文件.他轻轻叹了口气,看向一旁的静音:"静音,婚礼当天值班的安排还有争议吗?"

静音翻了翻手中的资料,无奈摇头:"所有人都想出席鸣人和雏田的婚礼,没人愿意留下来值班..."

卡卡西无奈地揉了揉太阳穴:"看来,得想个办法了..."

为了让鸣人的婚礼更加特别,卡卡西私下给鸣人的同期同学与好友安排了一项 "秘密任务" ,每个人都要准备一份特殊的结婚礼物.任务的内容一经传达,鸣人的朋友们便开始各自绞尽脑汁地准备起来.

小李显得格外兴奋,他找到自己的师傅凯:"师傅!我决定了,我们要送给鸣人和雏田一对哑铃,象征着双双对对!"

凯一拍大腿,热血沸腾地答应:"好主意!鸣人和雏田接下来的青春也应该充满汗水与奋斗!" 两人立刻行动起来,亲手制作了一对刻有 "青春" 二字的哑铃,打算在婚礼上送出.宁次和天天的叹气声从这一天起就没停止过.

另一边,鹿丸陷入了思考.他知道鸣人和雏田结婚后一定会需要一个放松的机会,于是他和丁次商量并决定安排一场温泉蜜月旅行.他们正在街上寻找合适的旅馆时,意外遇到了手鞠.

"你怎么在这里?" 手鞠和鹿丸几乎同时开口,语气中带着几分尴尬.

"我...在帮鸣人挑婚礼礼物." 鹿丸挠了挠头,随意搪塞道.

"哦?这么巧,我也是." 手鞠挑了挑眉,没有多问,反倒提议道:"既然这样,那我们就一起看看吧."

鹿丸无奈点头,两人一路走访村外的温泉旅馆,尴尬的气氛逐渐被融洽的交流所取代.而丁次一个人看着手鞠和鹿丸的背影,离他越来越远.

...

在井野的花店里,井野正低头整理花束,随口问道:"林远,你打算送鸣人和雏田什么礼物?"

林远神秘一笑:"有想法,但不告诉你."

"嗯?" 井野停下手里的动作,眯起眼睛看向林远,危险的气息瞬间弥漫开来.

不久后,林远顶着一个红肿的额头,低头在花店门口扫地,嘴里小声嘟囔:"这就是来自于 "姐姐" 的血脉压制么..."

井野叉着腰站在门口,得意地哼了一声:"让你卖关子!不收拾你一顿,还真不知道我这个姐姐的厉害!"

距离婚礼的日子越来越近,但婚礼当天值班的问题却迟迟没有解决.木叶丸偷偷趴在火影办公室的门外偷听,当他听到卡卡西对静音提到 "任务是为了保护婚礼" 时,立刻跑去通知了其他人.

大家得知婚礼当天需要有人值班后,纷纷聚到一起商量,最终一致决定:"我们既要参加婚礼,也要分担值班的责任!"

木叶村的忙碌气氛逐渐高涨,婚礼的脚步越来越近,所有人都在为鸣人和雏田的幸福时刻贡献着自己的努力.

而林远看着眼前一片繁忙的景象,摸着还隐隐作痛的额头,嘴角却忍不住扬起一丝笑意.
