Extra 17: To Love Ruto (END)

Two weeks had passed since the birth of Lily, Tearju and Kurama's daughter, time in which the preparations for the wedding were over, and now they were waiting for the situation with the groom's stepmother to calm down.

After leaving the nurses at home, Kurama returned to check on Tearju's condition, and although she was a bit weak, there was nothing out of the ordinary, as for his daughter, she had been born with the basic chakra system of an Elementian.

Nemesis was surprised to feel the latent power of Kurama's daughter, to the point that she struggled with the idea of kidnapping her, so she could train her as an assassin, though she quickly dismissed this idea, she was happy with living, thank you very much.

"I guess it's the day..." - Naruto muttered as he fixed the suit he was wearing, a well groomed black tuxedo that clung to his trained body.

"How are you feeling?" - asked Ren, who was wearing a similar tuxedo, only in a gray color.

"Nervous and very happy" - Naruto answered with a smile - "Although I'm a little sad that Kaasan can't be on my best day."

"Relax, I'm sure she'll be happy when she hears about this" - said Ren as he put his hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Sorry for the delay, I had some things to do last minute" - said Rito as he scratched his cheek. He was carrying a little green haired girl with a pink flower on her head.

"I see you brought Celine-chan" - Naruto said as he nodded.

"I still can't believe that this little girl is the same giant flower from your garden" - said Ren while shaking his head.

Indeed, the little Celine, was the huge flower that Lala had given Rito for his birthday, although the princess didn't expect this drastic change either.

"Hey ~!" - Celine waved her hands with a happy smile.

"Hello, little one" - smiled Naruto as he stroked the little girl's hair.

"How are you feeling?" - Rito asked with a smile as he saw how his "daughter" was being loved by her "uncle".

"You're the second one to ask me that" - Naruto said as he gave him a blank look - "Nervous, I feel very nervous, and anxious in equal parts, it's strange."

"No, it's not strange, it's to be expected, after all, you're about to unite with the woman you love" - said Ren as he crossed his arms - "I wonder if I have to do the same with Risa?"

"I think in your case, you better take it easy, Risa is the type of person who likes her freedom" - Naruto replied as the white haired boy nodded.

"How are you feeling, daughter?" - asked Sephie as she looked at her oldest baby, the same girl who out of the three of them, was the most like her in her stubbornness and sense of adventure.

"Nervous, happy and excited" - answered Lala with a smile. She was wearing a beautiful white dress with light pink details that matched her silky, long hair - "At last I will be able to confirm my vows with the man who stole my heart"

Sephie smiled when she heard this, then looked at her younger daughters - "And you?"

"I feel like we should seize this moment and have a double, or even triple wedding" - Momo replied as she looked at her embarrassed twin sister.

"N-Not that I wish I was marrying that barbaric pervert!" - Nana exclaimed with red cheeks.

"It wasn't his fault that you went into the bathroom that had an occupied sign on it, Nana" - replied Momo disdainfully - "If you want to blame someone, blame the fact that you're not a morning person."

"Ugh..." - Nana let out a groan of anguish, although she had to admit that Momo's words were true, Naruto was not to blame for that incident, but her pride would not allow her to apologize or accept her guilt.

Sephie shook her head when she saw this because out of the three daughters she had, Nana was the one who most resembled her father, oh, and speaking of him, the empress was furious with her husband, after all, he made it clear that he wouldn't show up during the ceremony.

Today was his daughter's most important day, and he didn't have the decency to show up to congratulate her, even when he approved of her future husband.

"Well, at least Kurama-san agreed to walk you down the altar" - Sephie said as she shook her head.

"And he agreed for you to be by Naruto's side" - smiled Lala happily - "It's like we're exchanging relatives, though it doesn't matter because we'll be a big family soon!"

Sephie smiled when she heard this because this situation was quite comical from her point of view. Gid didn't want to appear during the ceremony because he didn't want people to see his new form, and Naruto's mother couldn't appear at the wedding because she was half a universe away.

The empress let out a sigh when she thought of this, because at least her future son-in-law's mother had a valid excuse for not showing up, and even she knew that she would make a fuss when she found out that her baby had gotten married, and she couldn't be there to see him.

"Mom?" - Lala asked as she cocked her head to the side.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking about what an idiot is your father," Sephie replied as she stroked her princess's hair.

Lala frowned when she heard this, though she quickly smiled again because she didn't want it to ruin her happy day, though it was obvious she would remember this.

Sephie let out a sigh before shaking her head.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" - A female voice asked.

"Of course, I'm sure he'll be surprised when he sees you" - replied a male voice with a teasing tone - "You're going to have to wait though."

"I know, although it's a bit annoying" - snorted the woman as she narrowed her eyes - "I hope it'll be worth it."

"It will" - replied the man as he let out a laugh.

"What are you doing?" - A second woman asked.

"Oh, sorry, I always act like that when I'm going to make a prank and being honest, I haven't done it in years" - replied the man with slight embarrassment.

"Seriously..." - sighed a third woman.

"We are gathered here to witness the union between Lala Satalin Deviluke, princess of the Deviluke empire, and Naruto Uzumaki, heir of the ancient Uzumaki clan, direct descendant of the Otsutsuki clan from the other half of the universe, in holy matrimony" - said a strange green man of advanced age - "Do you, Lala Satalin Deviluke, accept Naruto Uzumaki as your husband, love and respect him for the rest of your life and support him during his darkest moments?"

"I do" - Lala said with a happy smile.

"And do you, Naruto Uzumaki, do you take Lala Satalin Deviluke as your wife, love, respect and protect her for the rest of your life?" - Said the priest earnestly.

"I do" - Naruto answered as he grabbed Lala's hand.

"If there is anyone who wants to oppose this union, speak now, or..." - said the priest, although if he was honest, he did not expect interruption in this ceremony, not when the two participants were the descendants of the strongest people of their respective sides of the universe, although his expression changed when he heard how the entrance was opened with a bang.

Sephie, Momo, Nana, and the other wedding guests looked with surprise at the entrance, from which a beautiful red-haired woman was entering.

Naruto opened his eyes, surprised to see this familiar person as tears ran down his cheeks.

"Naruto?" - Lala said in surprise seeing her husband's strong reaction.

"Kaasan" - Naruto muttered with tears in his eyes.

"Kaasan!" - exclaimed the guests as they watched the woman walk to the front, and notice how she was quite similar to the red-haired young man, especially the shape of her face, hair color and eyes.

"Did you really think I would miss the happiest day of your life?" - Kushina asked as she caressed her son's face and wiped away his tears - "Seriously, you should have imagined my surprise when Kuro-chan told me you were getting married, and if I'm honest, I couldn't be happier, especially seeing how cute your wife is."

"You are Naruto's mother?" - Lala asked with surprise because it was the first time she saw her.

"Of course" - nodded Kushina with a small smile as she looked at Lala - "Where do you think he got that wonderful red hair and handsome face from?"

Kurama gave her a blank look as he decided not to say anything about it.

"How?" - Sephie said in surprise at the sight of this beautiful woman, who seemed to have an aura of royalty that was no slouch to her own.

"Kuro-chan was working hard the last few days" - answered Kushina with a smile - "It cost, but he managed to contact Kaguya last night, and I was getting ready to give my baby a surprise."

"Excuse me, but you are interrupting this wedding" - said the priest.

"Oh, I'm sorry" - replied Kushina with embarrassment as she walked to her husband and looked at her son with pride - "Go on, son"

"Ok!" - Naruto nodded with a happy smile.

"Your vows have been heard, and as the supreme priest authorized by the united planets, I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" - said the priest, only to see how Lala jumped on Naruto and gave him a passionate kiss.

"I like that girl, she has the passion of an Uzumaki" - Kushina said with a small smile.
