The day had finally arrived for Tsunade's wedding.
Early in the morning, Takuya led the wedding procession to Mito's courtyard, the air buzzing with excitement and anticipation.
"Grandma Mito, I'm here to pick up Tsunade," Takuya announced with a beaming smile.
Mito, with a warm and tender expression, stepped forward and placed Tsunade's hand into Takuya's. "Little Takuya, from this day forward, Tsunade is yours to cherish and protect. Work hard together and bring us the joy of a new life soon."
Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. The moment was both joyous and bittersweet. She had lived to see her beloved granddaughter marry, a blessing she hadn't dared to hope for.
Takuya, filled with pride and determination, responded confidently, "Don't worry, Grandma Mito. I will do my utmost to honor and love her."
As they prepared to leave, Takuya couldn't help but admire Tsunade's radiant beauty. Her face glowed with happiness, and her elegance was unparalleled. It was a sight he would cherish forever.

Rather than heading directly back to the Senju compound, Takuya led the wedding procession through the streets of Konoha. He wanted to share this joyous occasion with the entire village, to celebrate and show his pride in marrying Tsunade.
Drums and gongs announced their arrival as the procession made its way through the village. Villagers gathered along the streets, eager to witness the spectacle.
"Look, they're coming! The Senju wedding procession is here!" someone exclaimed.
"I can't believe it, even Tsunade-sama is getting married!" another added, eyes wide with admiration.
"Tsunade-sama looks absolutely stunning," a woman sighed enviously. "Her beauty and grace are unmatched."
"How does someone like Takuya get to marry her? It's just not fair," a young man lamented, clutching his chest dramatically.
"He's not just lucky; he's earned it," another countered. "Takuya revived the Senju clan and won Tsunade's heart. It's more than just fortune."
Amidst the sea of envious and admiring faces, Takuya held his head high, his heart swelling with pride. Today, he wasn't just a clan leader; he was a man who had won the heart of the most remarkable woman in the village.
As they made their way back to the Senju compound, the villagers continued to cheer and celebrate. Tsunade's radiance lit up the streets, and Takuya knew that this was just the beginning of their journey together.
Today, their union was not just a personal victory but a testament to the strength and unity of the Senju clan. And with Tsunade by his side, Takuya felt ready to face whatever the future held.
Their goddess might now belong to another, but in their hearts, Tsunade would always remain a symbol of hope and strength for the village of Konoha.

"Snort! This guy is so arrogant," Shimura Danzō muttered, his eyes narrowing as he watched Senju Takuya from a distance.
For some reason, he always felt that the last attack on his experimental base was linked to Takuya.
But now, Takuya had become even more formidable. Not only had his own strength grown immensely, but the power and loyalty of his subordinates had also increased significantly.
If this trend continued, Konoha might truly be in jeopardy.The thought fueled Danzō's murderous intent.
He had originally planned to wait until Uzumaki Mito's passing before making his move against Senju Takuya.
But now, the situation had changed. His patience had worn thin."It's time to speak with Hiruzen about eliminating Takuya," he resolved, his mind plotting the next steps.
¤'¤'¤'¤'¤'..."
The wedding was a grand affair, with almost all the clan leaders from Konoha attending. Each one of them wore expressions of respect and admiration as they looked at Senju Takuya.
After all,
The Uchiha clan, Akamichi clan, Nara clan, Yamanaka clan, Inuzuka clan, Aburame clan… all these clans, who had good relations with the Senju clan, had recently benefited from lucrative business opportunities thanks to Takuya. In just a few months, they had amassed considerable wealth, making other clans envious.
Senju Takuya's prestige had naturally soared.
"It's good to see everyone," Takuya said, raising his glass. After toasting with the guests, he made his way to the backyard.
"Hiruzen, look at him!" Danzō spat, his expression dark. "If Takuya continues like this, what will become of Konoha?"
"You have a point," Hiruzen agreed, though he shook his head. "But we can't act without a solid reason."
"Hiruzen, you're too indecisive!" Danzō retorted angrily. "This cautious approach of yours will be our downfall."
Frustrated, Danzō could only fume as Hiruzen remained unconvinced.
Equally disheartened was Jiraiya. "Minato, now I understand how you felt," he lamented, sipping his wine. "I never thought Tsunade would choose someone else."
"At one point, they said Tsunade was interested in women, and I believed it. How foolish I was."
"Teacher, you should drink less," Namikaze Minato advised, trying to console him. "Takuya is an exceptional man. It's no wonder Tsunade-sama chose him."
"Minato, you're too kind," Jiraiya sighed. "The master and apprentice have lost completely this time." He downed another glass, looking thoroughly dejected.
Minato could only smile and shake his head, having come to terms with the reality. Watching Jiraiya drown his sorrows, he chose to remain silent.
In the backyard, Takuya approached the wedding room. Seeing Tsunade in her wedding attire, he couldn't help but marvel at her beauty.
"Tsunade, you look stunning today," he whispered in her ear, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.
Tsunade's body trembled slightly, and she blushed deeply. "What...what are you going to do?" she asked nervously, her voice uncharacteristically soft.
"Of course, what married couples do," Takuya replied, gently pushing her onto the bed.
"But...shouldn't you be entertaining the guests?" Tsunade stammered.
"It's still early; there's time," Takuya reassured her.
[Ding!]
[Marry Tsunade and receive rewards: Perfect Sage Body, Pure Yang Escape Chakra, Wood Style Bloodline Limit, Wood Style Grandmastery, and the Hundred Healings Mark (Perfect)!]
[Ding!]
[Being intimate with Tsunade grants rewards: Constitution +3, Chakra +3, Mental Strength +3!]
Hearing the system prompts, Takuya couldn't hide his excitement. The rewards were extraordinary.
The Perfect Sage Body! Originally, his Uzumaki Sage Body was powerful, but this transformation made him several times stronger.
With the addition of the Pure Yang Escape Chakra, alongside the Yin Escape Chakra he obtained from marrying Mikoto, he now possessed Yin Yang Escape. This power was the foundation of Uchiha Madara's immense strength during the Fourth Ninja War.
The Wood Style bloodline limit and the Hundred Healings Mark were equally impressive. The latter would be perfect for keeping his wife youthful forever.
"Tsunade, you're a treasure," Takuya thought, smiling to himself.
"Can you believe how many rewards come from just one intimate moment with Tsunade? Constitution +3, Chakra +3, Mental Strength +3!"
This daily reward was beyond generous. Feeling grateful, he gently pinched Tsunade's cheek and gave her a tender kiss.
Tsunade lowered her head shyly, pulling the quilt up to cover her graceful body. Seeing this, Senju Takuya felt a wave of emotion.
Women are truly fascinating creatures, he thought. Mikoto had a gentle personality and was particularly alluring during their intimate moments, welcoming every kind of playful interaction. But Tsunade, who was usually carefree and bold, turned into a shy little girl when it came to love. This contrast was incredibly tempting.
"Alright, I'll let you off for now," Takuya said with a smile. "I need to go out and entertain the guests. You should rest for now." He pinched Tsunade's cheek gently.
"Um," Tsunade nodded obediently, pulling the quilt over her head. Takuya resisted the urge to stay and instead walked out of the room.

"Teacher, you've had enough. Please stop," Namikaze Minato said, trying to persuade Jiraiya, who was already quite drunk.
"Minato, you underestimate me," Jiraiya slurred, shaking his head. "This little bit of wine is nothing. They say I never get drunk, even after a thousand cups!"
Seeing Jiraiya like this, Minato could only shake his head and go chat with others.
"Really, can't even share a few drinks with the teacher to ease my loneliness," Jiraiya muttered to himself. "But that Senju Takuya, he already has so many wives, and he still took Tsunade. It really pisses me off!" He took another deep swig of his drink.
At that moment, the room buzzed with excitement again. Jiraiya looked over with bleary eyes and saw Senju Takuya walking out of the backyard.
"Hahaha...more than an hour, the majesty of the Senju clan leader is truly admirable," someone remarked.
"Congratulations, Takuya-sama, I toast to you!" another added.
"With you, Takuya-sama, the Senju clan will regain its former glory!" came another voice.
"Come on, everyone, let's toast to Takuya-sama!"
All the clan leaders had knowing smiles on their faces as they raised their glasses. It was enviable to marry a woman like Tsunade. Just imagining the excitement of such a union made the men present green with envy.
"Damn you, little devil! I'm furious!" Jiraiya's anger boiled over. The woman he loved all his life had become someone else's wife. He slammed his hand on the table and stormed up to Takuya.
"Jiraiya-sama, what do you want to do?" someone called out, stepping in front of Takuya protectively.
"Kid, do you just hide behind others?" Jiraiya shouted. "If you are a man, face me in a serious fight!"
"Jiraiya-sama, you are drunk," another person interjected. "Today is a happy day for Takuya-sama. How can you say that?"
"Someone, help Master Jiraiya to calm down," someone suggested. Although Jiraiya often acted unreliable, his strength as a Kage-level ninja was undeniable. If he wanted to cause trouble, it would indeed be a problem.
"You all listen up!" Jiraiya roared. "The Toad Sage is a name known far and wide. East, west, north, or south, there is no one invincible against the Sannin's white-haired boy, the Toad Messenger! I am a handsome man who can even make a crying child stop and stare! How could I be drunk?" He made exaggerated gestures and looked at Takuya provocatively.
"Hmph~~~" Shimura Danzō sneered. "Hiruzen, your brainless disciple surprises me every time."
Seeing Jiraiya making a scene, Danzō felt a surge of excitement. This situation put Takuya in a difficult spot. If Takuya accepted Jiraiya's challenge, he would likely be beaten. Although Danzō looked down on Jiraiya personally, he fully recognized his strength. On the other hand, if Takuya refused, his prestige would suffer. Everyone knew Jiraiya had been a suitor of Tsunade. Being publicly challenged by her former suitor on his wedding day and backing down would be humiliating.
"Danzo, shut your mouth!" Hiruzen scolded, though he didn't move to intervene.
"Kid, do you dare to have a fight?" Jiraiya continued to challenge.
"In that case, let's have a fight," Takuya responded, stepping forward.
