Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

Chapter 272 Preparation before marriage

Under the two premises of rescuing Hanabi and saving the world, no one can object to this plan.

However, a wedding that would make Otsutsuki Toneri feel threatened could be simple, but it could not be perfunctory or casual.

No matter what, the bride and groom's suits must be prepared.

But this world has been desolate for too long, food has rotted, and clothes are even more difficult to preserve.

Shikamaru decided to have Sai and Sakura return to Earth together to report the current progress to the Hokage and request their logistical assistance.

The round trip would take a whole day, during which time Shikamaru, Gaara, Neji and I would need to work together to clean up this deserted town.

Fortunately, although no one lives here anymore, the infrastructure is still functioning normally and the fountain in the square is still flowing.

I used the water jutsu to wash the roof, ceiling, walls and ground, while Naruto and Shikamaru fetched water to scrub them further.

Gaara used sand to clean up the collapsed buildings and scattered debris on the ground, while Neji needed to concentrate on feeling the chakra inherited from Otsutsuki Hamura and use it skillfully as quickly as possible.

"Is this okay?"

After listening to my arrangement, Neji hesitated for a moment, "Let the bride work so hard... but I will do nothing..."

I smiled and said, "Ningji is not doing nothing. Neji's mission is also very important. If Toneri really shows up, you, Naruto, Gaara and Shikamaru will have to take action to test his strength. At a time like this, the stronger you are, the better it will be for us."

"…Morning dew."

"Ok?"

"you……"

Seeing that Neji was hesitant and hesitant to speak for some reason, I tilted my head in confusion: "What's wrong, Neji? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you not used to Hamura's chakra? Do you want me to check for you?"

"I'm fine, I was just wondering, if Otsutsuki Toneri didn't come... what would happen to this wedding?"

"How to do?"

"So, do you want to finish it?"

"It's better to put on a full show. Sheren might wait until the wedding is over before making a move."

"Isn't this too much for you?" Neji lowered his eyes, "It's so hasty. I know you don't like the traditional wedding dress, but you can't even choose and try on the wedding dress and ring by yourself. I haven't prepared anything..."

"It's okay, Neji, it's just setting up a bait."

Neji paused, "I know, but this is your first...formal wedding, after all. I still feel sorry."

"If that's the case, isn't this also Neji's first official wedding?" I smiled and said, "Should I feel sorry for Neji too?"

Neji was slightly startled.

"Although I like wedding dresses, the White Wedding Dress is also a novel attempt. Besides, I can also see Neji wearing traditional wedding clothes. I am quite looking forward to it."

"I thought you would want your groom to wear something more modern."

"No, I think Neji would look better in traditional clothes." I said excitedly, "As long as I'm with Neji, it doesn't matter what I wear. I'm looking forward to getting married with Neji! What about Neji?"

"Looking forward to it..." Neji said with amusement and helplessness: "Asaka, do you think this is just playing house?"

"What's wrong? I've always wanted to know what the marriage process is like, but I was too young at first, so no one paid attention to me when I went to consult. Now I'm old enough, but there's no 'groom', so I can't experience it myself... This time I finally have the chance to know what it feels like to be 'married'!"

Looking at me, Neji sighed, "Is that so... that's fine."

"Ningji doesn't look too happy?"

"nothing."

"Come on, if you have anything that makes you unhappy, tell me everything!"

"…I've always wanted to have a wedding with the person I love."

I was stunned. "I'm sorry, I didn't know before that Neji regarded the 'wedding' so important and special..."

Are you the kind of person who thinks that a wedding can only be held with the woman who will become his wife?

Yes, Neji was born into the Hyuga clan, and although he was very rebellious in many ways, he also had some very traditional ideas.

Then, doesn’t this role-playing mission desecrate Neji’s dream and make it very painful for him?

"No! Chaolu! I'm not the type who has infinite longing for a wedding, thinking that it can only happen once in a lifetime with the woman I love... Of course I have that kind of expectation, but - that's not what I mean!"

"?"

Neji's incoherent explanation only made me more confused.

Is this the common language he is speaking?

At this moment, Gaara's voice came: "He means that your attitude towards this wedding is like playing house, which makes him feel lost."

"Ah, Gaara! Have all the roads blocked by the collapsed buildings been cleared?"

"The main roads leading to the temple have been almost cleared."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Gaara walked up to Neji and said, "It was just a mission. Since Chaolu has no such thoughts, you have time to think about it. You might as well seize the time to practice and don't waste the power that Chaolu has fought for you."

Neji frowned, "That's a terrible attitude, Gaara."

"You and Chaolu are getting married, but I want to clear the obstacles for you. You'd better be polite to me. I didn't say anything because it's just a role-playing game. But if you want to make the best of a bad situation..."

Ningci asked coldly: "What?"

"I will complain to Chaolu."

"!?"

"Asaro," Gaara turned to look at me, "What if Neji gets stronger in the future and looks down on me and bullies me?"

Ningji: "..."

I looked at Neji, then at Gaara, "Ugh, by then, maybe I won't be able to beat Neji. Will we both be bullied by him, Gaara?"

"Hey!!!"

After being teased by Gaara, Neji finally seemed to have calmed down a lot.

He glared at Gaara and went to practice in seclusion. I looked at his back and asked worriedly, "Has he really let it go? About the wedding?"

Gaara said, "Who knows."

"Is this what the book calls 'pre-marriage phobia'?"

"……who knows."

"I didn't expect Neji to be the type to get anxious about a wedding... He's so concerned about it even though it's not a real wedding. When he really gets married in the future, he won't just freeze in place and be unable to move, right?"

"..."

"Gaara? Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing, there is only one last bit of road that is blocked. Chaolu, help me use water escape to clear it."

"Coming."

……

When Sai and Sakura returned with a large amount of supplies and professionals, most of the town had been washed clean, the roads were unobstructed again, and the venue could be set up directly.

Sai summoned too many ink birds at one time, carried too much supplies, and transferred too many people. As soon as he arrived at the destination, he hurried to rest in the cleared house.

He brought with him a team that was said to be the most high-end wedding planning team in Konoha Village. As soon as they landed, these professionals started to prepare the wedding without stopping.

When Sai woke up from a nap, he had to go back to pick up the guests - after all, the bigger the noise at this wedding, the better.

The "groom" Ningci was in training, and all the details about the wedding had to be determined by me. A staff member who claimed to be a wedding planner grabbed me and asked me whether I wanted an indoor or outdoor wedding, whether I had any preferred colors and elements for the scene design, whether I would write the invitations myself or entrust someone to do it, whether the meals would be self-service or separate tables, whether I needed a wedding photographer to start taking photos from the morning of the day after makeup, who would be the bridesmaids and groomsmen and how many, and whether I needed the parents of both parties to appear...

I was dazzled by the series of checklists. It was completely different from the wedding I had imagined - I thought a wedding only required changing into a dress, appearing with the blessings of relatives and friends, and reciting vows.

but why……

It looks like a tortuous and complicated process, like ten infiltration missions, followed by ten assassination missions, and then ten escort missions.

After much difficulty in determining each key node, there are still countless problems in the actual implementation process.

I immediately decided to grab Shikamaru and Gaara to help.

"Uh..." The planner pushed up his glasses, looked at Shikamaru on my left, then looked at Gaara on my right, and asked carefully, "Excuse me, who is the groom?"

Shikamaru said calmly, "Neither."

Planner: “Huh?”

Gaara took the framework of the wedding process and reviewed it one by one, saying in a cold tone: "It's so tiring, why not delete it all."

Shikamaru: "... Stop it!"
