Chapter 127: The Wedding Ends Perfectly
As a Lucario, Xiaolan should, in theory, be no taller than 1.3 meters. However, perhaps due to the system adapting to the rules of the Hokage world, Xiaolan now stands at over 1.7 meters, a little taller than Yue Yan.
Coupled with years of training, Xiaolan has well - defined and strong muscles all over. Even though it doesn't look human, it looks extremely handsome in a suit.
Normally, with its fur covering, Xiaolan doesn't need to wear clothes. But it looks surprisingly good in a suit. Even Yue Yan, who has been with Xiaolan day in and day out, was a bit stunned by its look in the suit. After coming to his senses, Yue Yan pulled Xiaolan aside with a speechless look on his face.
"Hey, Xiaolan, what are you doing here? I was almost done being this stupid bridesmaid."
"Damn!"
"What? You said the clothes look nice and you wanna try them on?"
"Come on, if you'd told me you liked this kind of clothes before, I'd have bought you dozens of them. No need to screw me over now, right?"
Hearing this, Xiaolan just grunted and didn't answer directly. However, when Yue Yan was frowning at the bridesmaid dress on him, Xiaolan's eyes sparkled. As for what it was thinking, maybe only it knew.
Yue Yan was rubbing his temples in distress. It was Senior Brother Minato Namikaze and Sister Kushina's wedding, and Xiaolan really liked the suit. At this point, he had no choice but to accept it.
Thinking like this, Yue Yan followed the bridesmaids to complete the wedding process.
After Minato and Kushina, as the newlyweds of the day, sent their blessings, they planned to take a group photo.
Then, for some reason, the photographer insisted that the groomsmen and bridesmaids pair up to take pictures with the bride and groom, saying it was lucky.
Since the others didn't mind, even though Yue Yan was reluctant, he had to agree.
Of course, there was no way he'd take pictures with others. He could only do it with Xiaolan.
Seeing this, Xiaolan grinned and scooped Yue Yan up in a princess carry.
Seeing this, the other paired groomsmen and bridesmaids followed suit.
When Yue Yan saw Kakashi pick up Rin, his eyes lit up. He planned to ask the photographer for the photos later. When he meets Obito Uchiha in the future, these photos will be a real blow to him. Just thinking about it makes him happy.
Lost in thought, Yue Yan didn't notice that Xiaolan, holding him, had a smile on its face.
After the photos were taken, Yue Yan didn't care about the dress he was in and rushed straight to the photographer. He cropped out the part of the photos with Kakashi and Rin.
Kakashi noticed this and got a vein in his forehead.
"Why do I feel like you're so excited?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan gave a smile only he understood. But since it wasn't convenient to tell Kakashi he wanted to annoy Obito Uchiha, he just made up an excuse.
"Well, I just want to tell Obito Uchiha about Senior Brother Minato Namikaze's wedding."
"Then why do you only want pictures of me and Rin?"
Kakashi, who had already guessed that Yue Yan wanted to burn the photos for Obito Uchiha, was a bit speechless, but he didn't refuse.
Kakashi thought simply that if Obito Uchiha saw these photos in the Pure Land, he would definitely misunderstand, but he would surely come back to find Kakashi and then Kakashi could just explain it. After all, he really had nothing with Rin. It wouldn't be a bad choice if he could meet Obito Uchiha again this way. Although it was a bit like deceiving the dead, Kakashi didn't care.
After the wedding ended successfully, Yue Yan sat down at his seat waiting for the meal. Come on, he had made such a big sacrifice today, and he must get his money's worth at the wedding banquet.
When Yue Yan wasn't paying attention, Xiaolan found the photographer and asked for a separate copy of the photo of herself and Yue Yan. Then she carefully put it away.
As the wedding came to a perfect end, everything returned to normal, but only on the surface.
Under Tanzō's plot, Hiruzen Sarutobi still discovered Orochimaru's human experimentation. Orochimaru, who had expected this, didn't say a word and just turned around and left Konoha.
Out of their many years of master - disciple relationship, when Hiruzen Sarutobi went to arrest Orochimaru, he couldn't bring himself to be ruthless, just like in the original story.
With Yue Yan's reminder, Orochimaru didn't go to extremes. And Jiraiya, who knew Orochimaru's character well, felt very complicated after learning this news and the attitude of the high - ups.
After all, Jiraiya was no longer the fool he used to be. Understanding many things, he didn't say much. After getting drunk all night, he left Konoha under the pretext of going after Orochimaru.
It could only be said that both the high - ups in Konoha and his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi had disappointed Jiraiya. "There is no sorrow greater than a dead heart," which was exactly how Jiraiya felt now.
The departure of the last two of the famous Sannin also seemed to hit Hiruzen Sarutobi. Not long after, he announced his abdication and appointed Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi intended to relinquish power, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, who had been in high positions for a long time, were reluctant to let go of their power. They refused to hand over the power, citing Minato Namikaze's youth as an excuse.
If these two old geezers were like this, let alone Tanzō, that old rascal.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi announced his abdication, he even used his Root to reclaim some of the decentralized power. He had even more power than during Hiruzen Sarutobi's time.
However, Minato Namikaze, who was really young and didn't understand these things, only thought that his ability was not enough. Therefore, he worked overtime every day, just wanting to prove himself.
It took him a long time to gradually understand, but as a man with little influence, Minato Namikaze couldn't say much.
One day, an Anbu member found Yue Yan and took him to the Third kage's office.
Looking at Minato Namikaze, who was wearing the Hokage's exclusive robe and had his signature smile on his face, Yue Yan also smiled.
"Lord Hokage, is there something you need from me?"
Facing Minato Namikaze, Yue Yan appeared very relaxed. Seeing this, Minato was also very happy and didn't mind Yue Yan's teasing at all.
"Yue Yan, since we're fellow apprentices, let me cut to the chase."
Minato took a deep breath and looked seriously at Yue Yan.
"I want you to be the leader of the Anbu and assist me in better fulfilling the obligations of the Hokage."
Hearing this, Yue Yan shrugged and didn't agree.
"Senior Brother Minato Namikaze, you know me. I'm not suited for sitting in an office and coordinating overall situations. I'm okay with going into battle and killing enemies, but I'll only mess everything up with this kind of thing."
Hearing this, Minato couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
"I really don't have anyone else I can trust besides you."
Looking at Minato like this, Yue Yan narrowed his eyes. Now that he had enough strength and Senior Brother Minato Namikaze had become the Hokage, so could he go and deal with that old dog Tanzō? As long as he did it secretly, there shouldn't be any major Mondai.
