After the rehearsal, the ceremony officially began the next day and all the guests arrived.

But at that time, Neji and I were in different rooms, so we couldn't see who had come.

I put on my white wedding gown early, and for the first time someone carefully put on my full makeup.

Sakura stared at me for a long time, then smiled with a complicated expression and said, "As expected of a girl from the Uchiha clan..."

"?"

My questioning expression was probably very obvious, so she explained, "...very beautiful, very Uchiha-style beauty. How should I put it... the black and white are very clear, the outlines are very beautiful, and the temperament is very clear, just like the ladies in classical paintings. The skin is white, the eyes are black, and the long hair is like ebony. Only the lips are painted with lipstick, just like a red plum tree in the snow... very impactful."

This is a compliment on my good looks.

I smiled and said, "Thank you, Sakura."

She clutched her heart, "It reminds me...of Sasuke."

"Sasuke? But Sasuke and I don't look alike...right?"

"Indeed, he doesn't look like him, but that kind of temperament and sometimes his expression... Of course, it may also be a psychological effect after I knew that you also have the Sharingan and are from the same race as Sasuke... Sigh. I don't know where he is now..."

"Sakura, do you think the world has become better since Sasuke returned to Konoha?"

"Of course! The world has returned to peace, and Sasuke doesn't have to live in hatred anymore! But he doesn't want to stay in Konoha, saying he wants to atone his sins... I can understand that. But he's always alone, which makes me... worried."

"Well... world peace is good... but..." I was puzzled: "Since he didn't kill the five Kage and rule the world, what sin did he atone for? What other sins did he have?"

"He attacked the Five Kage during their previous meeting."

"Are all five Kage still alive?"

"Ah? They're all still alive."

I don’t know if it’s because of Uchiha Sasuke’s previous crime of killing five Kage, but when I heard that the Sasuke in this world only attacked the five Kage and caused no casualties, I actually felt that it was nothing and there was no need to make a fuss.

"Oh, no, the then acting Hokage Danzo was killed by Sasuke."

Danzo...!

"Sasuke attacked the Five Kage Summit because of Danzo, right?"

If that's the case, then isn't there a reason for it?

I couldn't help but ask: "Besides this, what else?"

"And…he defected from Konoha?"

"Any more?"

Sakura stared at me, "Defection and attacking the Five Kage are already serious crimes."

"..."

It seems so.

However, compared to the Uchiha Sasuke who ruled the world, the things that Sasuke in this world did...

I even felt like it wasn't a big deal, and seemed pretty harmless.

I nodded thoughtfully, "I see. So it's because he lost to Naruto that the loser is guilty."

I also defected from Konoha, but I was able to gain a foothold in the Hidden Mist Village and have Konoha recognize my identity as a Hidden Mist Ninja, so I am not guilty.

Sasuke defected from Konoha but was captured by Naruto, so even if he didn't kill the Five Kage and rule the world, he is still guilty.

Is this what the book says, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit?

"So Sasuke is back in Konoha... happy?"

"I want him to be happy. I think if he could have a home in Konoha, maybe he could have a new place to call home."

"In Konoha?"

I remembered what Sasuke had said to me before:

[Since our clan was destroyed, there are fewer and fewer traces of our clan in the village... But I am somewhat thankful. Because if I suddenly see the Uchiha clan's symbol on the street, I can't help but wonder, why is it here? Who left it? And then I will think that whoever it was, they are no longer here.]

[We, the Uchiha clan, are an elite clan, a clan that produces many geniuses... and a clan of heroes.]

[…The names of our people are inextricably linked to the history of Konoha. They did not die because of the shameful betrayal of their own people… Chaolu, do you know? Uchiha is Konoha's Uchiha, and Konoha is Uchiha's Konoha.]

Those are what the Sasuke from my world said to me. I don’t know what the Sasuke from this world thinks, but I can’t imagine how he would live in Konoha after facing the truth of the Uchiha clan’s genocide.

Is he relieved?

As long as he is defeated by Naruto, he can let go of everything?

It would be nice if I could meet the Sasuke of this world. I really want to ask him in person what he thinks...

The planner informed us that the auspicious time had arrived. Xiaoying helped me roll up my long skirt and I slowly walked out of the house.

Shikamaru was standing at the door waiting for me.

I took his arm and walked with him towards the main wedding venue.

From a distance, I saw Neji's familiar back.

He stood at the foot of the statue, with a tall and slender figure, long black hair draped behind him, dignified and elegant.

The master of ceremonies shouted, "Enter the bride!"

Neji turned around when he heard that and looked at me with his eyes slightly widened, and I smiled happily at him.

But we were still some distance away, and it was a bit inappropriate to shout at him, so I could only call him silently with my mouth: "Ningji!"

This was the first time I saw him in a suit, and it should be the first time he saw me in a white wedding gown, full makeup, and dressed up.

When the master of ceremonies instructed the groom to come over and greet me in person, before he even finished his words, Neji was already walking towards me quickly.

He stretched out his hand and was about to take me, but Shikamaru raised his eyebrows and indicated that we should follow the procedure and that it wasn't time yet.

Neji seemed to have just remembered the rehearsal process and took his hand back.

However, at such a close distance, we can talk.

I smiled at Neji and said, "Ningji is so handsome!"

"Thank you." I saw Neji tighten his loose sleeves, seeming very nervous. "Asahi is also...very beautiful."

"Xiaoying praised me for looking like a classical lady!"

He looked at me, his expression focused and gentle: "Really? It is true."

Sai, who was originally with him, retreated behind me when he saw this, and helped lift my back swing together with Sakura.

...Seriously, does the skirt of this dress really need to be so long?

If they want to highlight the elegance and grace of the big family, then why is Neji's hem a normal length? Can we ignore the elegance and grace of the Hyuga clan?

Because usually the person the bride holds her arm around when entering the venue is her father or family member, the process involves a speech from the father or family member before the bride holds the groom's arm. However, since I've only known Shikamaru in this world for a few short days, there's really no need to make things difficult for him.

The MC professionally shortened this part and said a lot of auspicious words of blessing in a festive manner, "Okay, now, let's let the groom and the bride walk into their future and start the first moment of the rest of their lives together."

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Gaara sitting in the first row and heard him sneer at what he said.

Sai said: "Is this what the book says..."

Sakura called out urgently, "Shut up."

Naruto was sitting on the other side, and it was not convenient for me to observe his expression, so I had to concentrate and focus on Neci.

We stood in front of the master of ceremonies, and he looked at us with a smile: "In front of all the witnesses, Miss Chaolu, are you willing to marry Mr. Hyuga Neji?"

"Yes."

"So Mr. Hyuga Neji, are you willing to marry Miss Asaro?"

"of course."

"Then are you willing to swear to each other that from now until eternity, regardless of poverty or wealth, life or death, separation or reunion, you will never leave each other, be loyal and always remember the feelings you cherish for each other at this moment, until death separates you?"

It was at this moment that Sheren's men descended from the sky and broke into the venue.

Gaara and Naruto quickly stood up to fight without any hesitation as if they had been waiting for this moment. I looked up at the sky and saw a dark shadow - Toneri was standing on a sedan chair, floating in the air, looking down at us.

A low voice came from behind: "I do."

"Ningji?" I turned around and looked at him uncertainly: "Let's try to lead him away from the crowd!"

Neji said "hmm", picked me up and rushed away from Toneri.

My headscarf was blown off by the wind, and the white hat as big as a full moon was sent high into the sky. Sheren stretched out his hand, and as if they were attracted to each other by magnets, he held the hat in his hand.
