At this moment, Ōnoki, the groom, was already sweating profusely.
Looking at the numerous Kage-level figures below, all the Kage from other ninja villages were present, except for Hidden Mist Village.
This lineup was no less impressive than a Five Kage Summit, and he heard that the Daimyō would also send representatives...
He had wanted to have a grand wedding.
But wasn't this a bit too grand?
He hadn't expected the guests at his wedding to be so extravagant.
Counting the envoys from various countries' Daimyō who were about to arrive, as well as the leaders of smaller nations,
more than half of the Ninja World's power-holders had come!
A wedding of this scale,
an uninformed person might think that Mu and Hōzuki Gengetsu were getting married.
Unless Mu and Hōzuki Gengetsu could get married on the spot,
otherwise, he couldn't imagine who could have a wedding of this magnitude; even Hidden Mist would probably have to come, and Uchiha Madara might even crawl out from underground to see what was happening.
However, Ōnoki also felt a little proud inside.
Because it was too honorable!
Everyone knew that they were there to show respect for him, the Tsuchikage.
"Quickly, get ready..."
Ōnoki hurriedly returned backstage to prepare himself.
....
"Where did those three brats run off to?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked anxiously at Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, who had not yet returned.
The banquet was about to begin, and those three brats still hadn't come back.
These three brats were not easy to deal with.
If they caused trouble in Iwagakure, he wouldn't be able to protect them.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and when he got anxious, he wanted to smoke.
He instinctively reached for his pipe and realized he had forgotten it in his haste.
He felt uncomfortable all over without a smoke.
"What's wrong, Hokage?"
Mu looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, which was almost as red as a monkey's butt, with slight confusion.
"Ah? Haha, nothing, Lord Tsuchikage, I just forgot my pipe..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a forced smile.
Mu raised an eyebrow slightly.
He hadn't expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to still be an old-fashioned type.
Iwagakure was almost researching e-cigarettes, while Hiruzen Sarutobi was still smoking a broken pipe...
Suddenly, he thought of something.
Then he waved his hand.
An Anbu member handed a small box to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"This is?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the white box with confusion.
"This is Iwagakure's latest tobacco product; you can try it first to see how it is."
Mu gave Hiruzen Sarutobi cigarettes developed by Iwagakure itself.
"How do you smoke this thing?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the rolled cigarette, which was different from a pipe, a bit unsure how to smoke it.
"Kakuzu, do you have a lighter?"
Mu looked at Kakuzu, who was standing nearby.
Kakuzu pulled a lighter from his pocket and lit a cigarette for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hmm!"
After taking a puff, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up.
Good! This smoke should only exist in heaven!
After taking a puff, Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly became a reformist.
"Mu, I want to try it too!"
Shamon's eyes lit up, and he said.
The Third Raikage also seemed eager to try this novel item.
After the two Kage took a puff, they both praised the taste of this smoke.
They began to smoke contentedly.
Only Mu and Hōzuki Gengetsu did not smoke.
"Aren't you two smoking?"
"I won't."
Mu was someone who wanted to live a long life; he never touched smoking or drinking.
His diet was also extremely strict, and he went to bed early and woke up early every day.
"Haha, I don't like the smell of smoke."
Hōzuki Gengetsu shrugged; he and Mu both disliked smoking.
"Please excuse me for a moment; my three disciples have gone somewhere, and I'll go look for them."
Hiruzen Sarutobi bowed slightly and said.
"I'll go with you; my perception is quite good, and the wedding hasn't started yet, so I'll accompany you for a stroll."
Mu patted Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulder and said.
Firstly, he didn't trust Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Secondly, he wanted to see if Hiruzen Sarutobi would pull any tricks, which is why he chose to follow.
"Then I'll trouble the Tsuchikage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said.
The two of them came to the street.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had to admit in his heart that Iwagakure had developed much faster than Konoha; it felt like they were in two different worlds.
Konoha still had mostly single-story houses, with the tallest being no more than five stories.
Iwagakure already had buildings of over a dozen stories...
Finally, the two of them saw the Little Sannin on the street.
"Jiraiya!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi angrily approached Jiraiya from behind.
Jiraiya was engrossed, staring intently at a magazine with a perverted grin, and was startled by Hiruzen Sarutobi's shout.
"Ah, who's there!?"
However, when he saw it was Hiruzen Sarutobi,
"Ah! It's you, Sensei! Sensei, Sensei, I have something good here!"
Jiraiya lewdly handed the erotic magazine to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hiss!!!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly felt blood rush to his head, his eyes widened, and blood streamed from his nose.
"Hehe, Sensei, how is it? Not bad, right?"
"Hehehe, little Jiraiya, you truly understand your Sensei the best... Let your Sensei also experience the corruption of Iwagakure!"
Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi both pervertedly stared at the magazine.
Orochimaru, who was in the science section reading science magazines and books, glanced at Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Konoha Village might as well just collapse..."
Then he continued to bury himself in the world of science.
Mu, seeing the two of them like this, felt relieved.
Seeing his enemies like this, Mu's heart settled.
"Cough, cough!"
Mu coughed a few times.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya came to their senses as if waking from a dream.
"Ah, hahaha, Lord Tsuchikage, I've lost my composure; I'm just disciplining my disciple."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, blushing.
Mu smiled slightly and waved his hand: "It's nothing."
"Wow! Lord Tsuchikage, Iwagakure's magazines are truly amazing, and there are even novels! I love reading them so much, and I have many new ideas I want to tell you..."
Jiraiya said with a big, casual laugh, acting very familiar.
"Jiraiya, this is the Tsuchikage! Don't be rude!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sternly patted Jiraiya's head.
"It's nothing, what ideas do you have?"
Mu, however, waved his hand indifferently and looked at Jiraiya.
"Well, I have two dreams. My first dream is for all the beautiful young ladies in the world to be mine, Jiraiya's. And my second dream is to write a novel."
"I hope that one day, the novels I write can be adapted into manga or even movies!"
Jiraiya said excitedly.
"Oh? You want me to order the Iwagakure Animation and Film Studio to adapt your future novels into movies?"
Mu immediately guessed Jiraiya's little scheme.
"Hehe, Lord Tsuchikage is so smart, truly the Ninja World's greatest strategist!" Jiraiya said with a laugh.
"Then it depends on how well you write. If you write well, Iwagakure will naturally help you produce it into a film." Mu said.
"Good! It's a deal!"
Jiraiya made a flamboyant gesture.
"Lord Tsuchikage, you spoil Jiraiya too much."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said helplessly, believing that Jiraiya, aside from being utterly perverted, didn't seem to have any talent for writing novels.
"Ah, little Saru, to be a teacher who doesn't spoil the fun, you are still too young."
Mu said with his hands behind his back.
"You are right to reprimand me!"
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi's status was technically equal to Mu's, in reality, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still like a child in front of Mu, so in private, Hiruzen Sarutobi still spoke to Mu with the demeanor of a junior.
