Seeing Anya appear, Ko Shang was first delighted, then his expression darkened slightly. He stood up respectfully and bowed slightly as a greeting.
Anya nodded at him, then stepped forward and asked Orochimaru, "Uncle, what experiment are you doing now?"
Orochimaru didn't stop his work, replying indifferently, "Only during this Great Ninja World War did I realize how many mysteries still exist in the world—for example, the Ten-Tails' true form is actually a tree. It must definitely contain the secret to immortality, making it worth studying."
"Well, I've actually brought you something quite special this time," Anya said, as a highly compressed black sphere appeared in his hand.
Orochimaru showed interest, "What is it?"
"Black Zetsu—the true mastermind behind the chaos in the Ninja World for the past thousand years. He is the very embodiment of immortality."
Orochimaru's pupils turned into vertical slits as he said approvingly, "Quite promising material."
"This time, besides delivering an experiment subject, there's also something I need to ask of you."
Orochimaru smiled faintly, "You're always like this—only coming to me when you need something."
Looking somewhat embarrassed, Anya said, "This time is different—it's good news. Tsunade and I will be holding our wedding today. Since she's one of the Sannin, she definitely hopes you and Jiraiya can attend. The location is the ruins of the Senju Clan. Ko Shang, you should come along too."
Ko Shang's eyes lit up with excitement, but before he could speak, Anya had already vanished, leaving only a fading silhouette.
"What just happened?" Ko Shang was stunned.
"It's the Power of Time. His time energy has advanced to the point of transcending space. When the time limit in this space was reached, he automatically disappeared."
Noticing the yearning in Ko Shang's eyes, Orochimaru smiled slightly and said, "Your bloodline contains the Power of Time too. In the future, you might also be able to control this ability."
Ko Shang took a deep breath and said, "I'll do my best."
"This kind of thing cannot be rushed. First, change into something festive and head out with Jiraiya. Never thought in my lifetime the Sannin would reunite again."
At the ruins of the Senju Clan, Tsunade wore a white Muku wedding kimono, its holy radiance illuminating the pure white dress, making her look incredibly beautiful. Her face was delicately made up with light makeup. With her youthful glow and radiant eyes, she looked like a blooming snow lotus.
Dressed sharply in a sleek black suit, Anya gently took her hand. The two gazed at each other affectionately before walking into the wedding venue. They'd gone through sacrifices, misunderstandings, and even had completely different personalities—but here they were. Both understood clearly how difficult it had been, cherishing their bond deeply.
Sitting above were Hashirama and Tobirama. Returning to their old clan ruins and seeing their descendants getting married, Hashirama hadn't stopped smiling. Even Tobirama, known for his stern demeanor, couldn't stop smiling warmly, blessing the couple wholeheartedly.
"Boom! Boom!"
Fireworks exploded in the sky. Each one was uniquely shaped, displaying dazzling colors. The blooming fireworks looked like a dazzling meteor shower, gently drifting down like fluttering fireflies across the night sky.
Underneath this dazzling display of fireworks, a giant bird soared through the air, carrying a man and a woman upon its back.
"It's incredible. No wonder Dad insisted I bring you with me."
"I didn't realize the full wonder of explosive art until he gave me a little push."
"Did you bring enough clay for this one? There's another event after this."
"Another one? Is someone else getting married?"
"Yeah… it's him again."
"I should have enough."
"Then let's go."
A black portal materialized mid-air, and the giant bird flew straight into it.
In Kirigakure, the aftermath of the Fourth Great Ninja War had left the Mist ninjas bewildered after losing their chakra. However, following a speech by Terumi Mei, they gradually began accepting reality. Now, the village was decorated with lanterns and festive decorations.
A festive and grand wedding ceremony had dispelled the previous sense of confusion. The aroma of sake drifting through the village filled everyone with a sense of warmth.
Looking at the handsome groom and beautiful bride standing on the raised platform, some older ninja murmured, "This scene feels oddly familiar."
Before a younger ninja beside him could ask what he meant, brilliant fireworks lit up the sky, pushing the wedding's festive atmosphere to its peak.
Master Gen, watching the scene unfold, felt deeply moved. That little girl from long ago had ultimately chosen him. This time, everything had finally come together—it hadn't been easy. He finished his cup of sake and fell into a peaceful sleep with a smile on his face.
Unlike the desolate ruins of Senju lands, this place bustled with life from an entire ninja village. As more and more fireworks shot into the night sky, bursting into radiant blooms, the colors spread across the heavens—vivid and dazzling—transforming the darkness into a breathtaking spectacle. The cheers from below kept rising.
"Haha, my [Explosive Art] is definitely the most breathtaking. Did you see that? They're all cheering for my art! Let's go again—this time, I'll give them something really spectacular. How about a [Dragon Explosion]!"
The man on the bird was none other than Deidara, his eyes glowing with excitement as he experienced an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
Beside him, Hakuto reminded him, "How much chakra and clay do you have left? We still need to make it to the next event."
"What?" Deidara, just about to unleash a grand display, froze immediately. "Someone else is getting married too?"
Hakuto sighed, "Yeah… it's him again."
"Using shadow clones to get married? Won't that be a bit strange?" Deidara looked puzzled.
"No, not shadow clones. They're all real bodies, but each exists within a different time frame. It's a unique ability of Dad's Mangekyō Dojutsu. You could say each moment consumes a tremendous amount of ocular power."
After a moment of shock, Deidara hurriedly checked his remaining clay, uncertainly muttering, "I should make it through the third wedding, but definitely not the fourth."
"Don't worry, there won't be a fourth one. Let's go."
The two shifted scenes again, arriving this time at Kumogakure. Just like in Kiri, the celebration here was lively as well. However, the terrain was mainly made up of several islands, causing the crowds to be more spread out.
Anya and Samiu stood at the highest point, surrounded by clouds and mist, with thunder rumbling around them. They looked like deities from above—less festive, but far more imposing.
Seeing that the ceremony had already begun, Hakuto urged, "Hurry up! Go all out right away, or else your explosion won't be heard over all this thunder!"
Deidara, upon hearing this, immediately decided to unleash the [Dragon] that had not been released in Kiri before.
A tremendous explosion echoed through the sky, lighting up the entire cloud cover with sparks, as cries of astonishment rang out.
Before Deidara, who had consumed a massive amount of chakra, could even catch his breath, a voice echoed in his mind: "There are many islands here, all part of the wedding. Let's put on some fireworks on each one—make it festive and grand."
Deidara, close to tears, said helplessly, "Father, I..."
Anya didn't even listen and cut him off directly, "I plan to build the world's largest fireworks factory, dedicated to researching all kinds of explosions, so that your art will one day fill the entire world. I've reserved the position of factory director for you. Just perform well today—I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."
Deidara's eyes lit up with excitement. His tone turned fierce as he said, "Don't worry, Father. My art is unbeatable. I'll make explosions drown out the thunder."
Perched atop his giant bird, Deidara took off his shirt. A tongue protruded from his chest, and he swallowed all his remaining clay. Then, using the Clone Jutsu, he flew toward different islands.
"Art is explosion! Behold it!"
Soon, dazzling, multicolored [Patty C4] fireworks appeared above each island—one after another—shaking the heavens with their thunderous booms, surpassing even lightning, incredibly radiant.
