Chapter 205 Happy Year of the Horse!

The Great Eve of Konoha, also known as New Year's Eve.

The whole village was filled with a festive atmosphere that day.

However, even on New Year's Eve, there are still oxen and horses working for the stability of the village.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze was facing a mountain of task handover forms, his pen moving so fast it was almost a blur. Although he still had a forced smile on his face, the thought of the consequences of being late made the smile disappear.

Fugaku Uchiha was even worse off. As the young clan leader and head of the police force, he not only had to handle official duties, but also had to deal with the nagging of his extended family about the "unequal distribution of New Year's goods." He exuded a low-pressure atmosphere that kept strangers at bay.

In stark contrast, there was a leisurely figure on Konoha's commercial street.

"Boss, wrap this, this, and this all up."

Nishikawa Tetsuya was wearing a casual trench coat, holding a string of candied hawthorns in his hand, with two little tails following behind him.

"Brother Che! I want to eat that takoyaki!" Kanae pointed at the roadside stall, her mouth watering.

"Buy it." Nishikawa Tetsu waved his hand, exuding an air of great generosity.

"Senior Che, is that a bow you bought for Tun Tun?" Shizune asked, holding a pink piglet and staring at the jewelry store window with bright eyes.

"Buy them! Buy two for TunTun, so she can wear them alternately!"

Nishikawa Tetsu is now incredibly wealthy. As a renowned entrepreneur and scientist in Konoha, this small amount of money is nothing to him.

Today he has only one task: to spend money and have a good New Year.

The three of them scoured the place, their hands full of bags and packages, and finally stopped in front of a high-end tailor shop called "Jinyi Pavilion".

"Oh, Lord Nishikawa! You've arrived!"

The proprietress was a sharp-eyed middle-aged woman. As soon as she saw Nishikawa Tetsu, this god of wealth, she immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

"The clothes you ordered have all been finished! They were made strictly according to your designs, using the finest materials, and each stitch was meticulously sewn by a master craftsman!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Nishikawa Tetsu walked into the store, looked at the rows of brand-new clothes hanging on the racks, and nodded in satisfaction.

"These are everyone's New Year's gifts, and you all have to wear them today."

He pointed to one of the dark purple Tang suits, embroidered with subtle patterns, which was both dignified and youthful.

"This set is for Senior Fugaku. I hope it can help him get rid of that dull police uniform. He looks like a doorman all the time, and Mikoto-nee gets tired of looking at him in it."

Next to him was a white haori with gold trim, which was given to Minato. It was sunny and handsome, perfectly matching his temperament.

Next to it were several sets of women's Hanfu in different colors and with exquisite designs.

The bright red one, though vibrant, isn't gaudy; it's for Kushina. The light purple one is gentle and elegant; it's for Mikoto. And there are two sets of green, one large and one small...

"This set is for Lady Tsunade, and this set is for Shizune."

Nishikawa Tetsu stroked his chin: "Hopefully, this will make that gambler look a little... ladylike."

"Brother Che, where's mine? Where's mine?" Xiang Nai jumped around beside her.

"Yours is here!" Nishikawa Tetsu took out a white Hanfu embroidered with swirling patterns, and a light pink Hanfu for Mizuki.

Wow! So beautiful!

"Boss lady, please pack all these up and send them to the Thousand Hands Clan's territory."

"Okay! Take care!"

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon, the territory of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Since Lady Mito passed away, this old mansion has become quite deserted. But today, it's bustling with activity.

"A little to the left! A little more to the left!"

Nishikawa Tetsu stood at the bottom of the ladder, directing Mizuki, who was putting up couplets.

"Che-jun, is this okay?" Meiyue carefully pressed the red paper onto the door frame.

"Perfect!"

Nishikawa Tetsu snapped his fingers.

The courtyard was already filled with red lanterns, colorful ribbons were wrapped around the treetops, and even the solemn statue of the First Hokage had been mischievously adorned with a large red Chinese knot by Kana.

"Hey! Kid! What have you done to my grandpa?!"

Tsunade, wearing her newly made green Hanfu and carrying two bottles of wine, walked out of the house.

Although he was cursing, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

She twirled around, her skirt billowing in the air.

"Is this the dress you gave me? I've never seen this style before, but it's quite nice."

"That's right." Nishikawa Tetsu raised his head proudly. No one can resist the charm of Hanfu!

"Lady Tsunade looks ten years younger in this outfit; people would believe she's eighteen if she went out in public."

"You smooth talker!" Tsunade chuckled, tossing him an orange. "Here you go! Get to work! The vegetables in the kitchen haven't been washed yet!"

"Yes, sir!"

At that moment, Kushina and Mikoto were busy in the kitchen.

"Mikoto-nee, how do I cut this fish?" Kushina held a kitchen knife, looking somewhat helpless in front of a slippery fish.

"Don't rush, follow the texture."

Mikoto gently held Kushina's hand and patiently taught her.

Her hair was tied up, and she radiated a maternal glow.

"Mikoto-nee is so virtuous..." Kushina said enviously. "Whoever marries you will be so lucky."

Mikoto blushed, her eyes softening slightly: "You'll learn it soon too, for Minato's sake."

"Oh dear! What are you saying, Mikoto-nee!" Kushina's face instantly turned bright red.

……

As evening approached, it became dark.

Two men, who looked like they had just fled from the battlefield, walked in, supporting each other.

"I swear... we'll definitely expand our recruitment next year! We'll hire ten more assistants!"

Fugaku, with dark circles under his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, his police uniform crumpled.

"Agreed... I also want to apply to the Third Hokage... to assign me a secretary..." Minato also looked pale, and his blond hair drooped down.

However, when they looked up and saw the scene in the courtyard, all their fatigue froze in an instant.

Under the warm glow of lanterns, a huge long table was placed in the center of the courtyard. To prevent it from getting cold, Nishikawa Tetsu specially set up a constant temperature barrier around it.

In the center of the table was a huge hot pot with two separate broths, red and white, bubbling and emitting an enticing aroma. Next to it were two barbecue grills, their charcoal fires roaring.

Nishikawa Tetsu, Tsunade, Kushina, Mikoto, Mitsuki, Kana, Shizune...

Everyone was dressed in brand-new clothes and looked at them with smiles.

Welcome back!

Nishikawa Tetsu shouted loudly, holding a skewer of grilled meat in his hand.

"this……"

Fugaku was stunned. Looking at the lights filling the courtyard and the woman in light purple Hanfu smiling gently at him, his heart, which had been ravaged by work, suddenly skipped a beat.

"Go change your clothes! They're all ready!"

Kushina ran over and pushed Minato into the changing room. Nishikawa Tetsu pushed Fugaku, who was still in a daze, in as well.

Ten minutes later.

Two handsome men, looking completely refreshed, walked out.

Minato, dressed in a platinum haori, looked sunny and handsome; Fugaku, in a dark purple Tang suit, still had that poker face, but the outfit gave him a mature and charming look.

"Dinner's ready! I'm starving!"

With Tsunade's command, the banquet officially began.

"I want to eat meat! That fatty beef is mine!" Kana retorted defiantly.

"Don't grab it! Don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young?!" Tsunade's chopsticks flew, instantly snatching the last piece of premium snowflake beef.

"Lady Tsunade, you are an elder; you should love the young!"

"There are no elders at the dinner table!"

Looking at the noisy group of people at the table, Fugaku held his sake glass, his expression somewhat dazed.

He, the head of the Uchiha clan, was sitting on the Senju clan's territory, eating hot pot.

"What's wrong, senior? Is the food not to your liking?" Nishikawa Tetsu asked as he leaned closer.

"No……"

Fugaku shook his head and glanced at Mikoto, who was serving him food.

"I just think... if the Second Hokage saw this, he'd probably jump out of the Pure Land in a fit of rage. The Uchiha are actually spending the New Year at the Senju's house."

"Hahahaha!" Tsunade laughed heartily upon hearing this, patting Fugaku on the back forcefully. "Don't worry, if your great-grandfather jumps out, I'll protect you! Besides, this is our era in Konoha!"

"Well said!"

Nishikawa Tetsu raised his glass: "A toast to our era! A toast to this hot pot!"

"Cheers!"

The cups of everyone clinked together.

Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, Fugaku suddenly put down his chopsticks and stood up.

His movements were stiff, and his face showed a resolute determination as if he were about to be executed.

The entire room fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look at him.

"that……"

Fugaku cleared his throat and glanced at Mikoto beside him. Mikoto lowered her head shyly.

"I have something to announce."

Fugaku took a deep breath, as if using all his strength:

"This August... Mikoto and I are getting married."

Mikoto smiled slightly and nodded, continuing the conversation: "We will send out invitations to everyone, and you are all welcome to attend our wedding."

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

The cheers nearly lifted the roof off the Senju clan's territory.

"Congratulations, senior! You're finally going to marry Mikoto!" Nishikawa Tetsu led the cheers.

"Fugaku-senpai! You must be happy!" Minato also sincerely wished him well.

"Remember to send out wedding candies, I want the best ones!" Tsunade shouted.

Upon hearing this, Nishikawa Tetsu retorted, "Hey, Lady Tsunade, how dare you ask for wedding candy? Shouldn't you be old enough to have kids running errands? Get your act together!"

Several black lines instantly appeared on Tsunade's forehead. She punched Nishikawa Tetsu in the back, directly causing him to put on a pain mask.

"You talk too much!"

Tsunade held back somewhat, not directly sending Nishikawa Tetsu flying, but that punch was enough to make Nishikawa Tetsu grimace for a long time.

"Ahem... Lady Tsunade, honest advice is hard to swallow!"

Nishikawa Tetsu rubbed his back as he hid behind Minato.

"Alright, alright, it's Chinese New Year, don't get violent."

Mikoto smiled gently and poured Tsunade a glass of wine.

"Lady Tsunade, this cup is for you."

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time for Mikoto's sake."

Tsunade took the wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and the anger on her face instantly vanished, transforming her back into the forthright Tsunade-hime.

"However, speaking of marriage..."

Tsunade's gaze swept over Minato and Kushina, her eyes becoming playful.

"Fugaku has already made up his mind, what about you two? When are you planning to do it?"

This sudden roll call almost made Kushina choke while she was secretly eating dumplings.

"Cough cough cough!"

Kushina blushed deeply, dropping the dumpling she was holding. She frantically waved her hands, stammering, "Oh dear! What are you saying, Tsunade-neechan! We...we're still young!"

Minato scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then glanced at Kushina beside him, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

"We will work hard until... until I can truly stand on my own."

Kushina blushed even more upon hearing this, but she did not refute it. Instead, she lowered her head shyly, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.

"Ugh, this sour smell!"

Nishikawa Tetsu exaggeratedly fanned himself from the side.

"Senior, it seems someone has already reserved your best man position at your wedding."

Fugaku glanced at Minato and, unusually, gave him an approving look.

"Yes, as for the best man, both you and Minato have to come."

"What about the bridesmaids?"

Suddenly, Xiang Nai crawled out from under the table, half a piece of rice cake still in her mouth, and asked indistinctly.

"Of course, it's you, Kushina-neechan, as the bridesmaid! And me too!"

Mizuki smiled and patted Kana's head.

"When you grow up, you can be Kushina's bridesmaid too."

"Really? That's great!"

Kana jumped up excitedly and spun around with Shizune's hand.

"Mute, mute, let's be bridesmaids together from now on!"

"Mmm!" Shizune nodded heavily, her eyes curving into crescents.

The courtyard was filled with laughter and cheerful voices.

Before we knew it, it was almost midnight.

In the distance, from the direction of the Konoha Bell Tower, came a melodious chime.

"when--"

The first chime echoed through the night sky.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, looked up, and gazed into the distance.

Konoha, which was brightly lit not long ago, is now pitch black.

"when--"

The second bell rang.

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the group of people around him.

"when--"

The third bell rang.

The once quiet Konoha suddenly became noisy, with blessings and fireworks sounds rising and falling, echoing throughout the village.

"Happy New Year!"

Nishikawa Tetsu raised his glass and shouted loudly.

"Happy New Year!"

The crowd cheered, their cups clinking together with a crisp sound.

"May everyone be safe and sound in the new year!" Kushina wished.

"I hope the police department gets better and better, and the Uchiha clan gets better and better!" Fugaku still doesn't forget the responsibility he bears.

"I hope... I hope I can always be with everyone." Minato looked at Kushina and said softly.

"I hope to eat all the delicious food in the world!" Chanel shouted.

"I hope Tun Tun can successfully lose weight," Shizune muttered to herself.

"Pfft—" Tun Tun protested.

"hope……"

Tsunade looked at this group of energetic juniors, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes.

"May Konoha enjoy eternal peace."

The bells continued to ring, and fireworks burst in the night sky, illuminating the entire Konoha area as if it were daytime.

"Happy New Year!"
