The 4th Hokage is…

Chapter 174

Title: The 4th Hokage is.....

….

-General POV-

After Hiruzen made that announcement, the meeting officially started. 

The Daimyo is the first to speak after that. He has a paper fan in his hands, and he uses it to cover his mouth as he says. "Hmmm… it seems like my son in law won't be participating in this. That truly makes me sad, I think he would make an amazing Hokage. But he told me that the main reason why he didn't accept was because if he did become Hokage, he wouldn't be able to spend time with his wife. So I am able to understand him… he is a newly wed after all. Hohohoho."

The others just nod at this, even though what the Daimyo just said, would be taken as offensive if anyone else in this room said it… but the Daimyo isn't really part of those rules. 

"Anyway, who would you like to suggest now." Asks the Daimyo, talking about choosing the future Kage of Konoha like he is talking about the weather.

One of the nobles suggests. "How about Fugaku Uchiha, the Uchiha Clan has been loyal to Konoha and the Land of Fire for generations."

"Hmmm…" The Daimyo just hums at this. As if he is thinking about it, when in reality he is thinking about whom Yami told him would be a good Kage… 

….

After many hours of discussion, they debated many options, advantages and disadvantages every candidate has. Finally there was a decision at 56% votes for Minato, 30% for Fugaku and 14% Orochimaru. But the Daimyo still hadn't given his vote so there is that, plus some nobles might decide to change their votes so they can please the Daimyo… who knows … maybe they might even get rewarded by the Daimyo due to their 'friendship'.

The Daimyo seems to be thinking a little. "Hmmmm…" But finally he just said. "I decide to nominate Minato as the next Hokage."

….

-One Week Later-

Minato is currently atop the Hokage Tower, addressing the crowd below him… he still can't believe it. His dream is literally coming true in front of his eyes. He sees so many people gathered here for his coronation ceremony, he cannot help but feel a little nervous at this. Next to him was Kushina comforting him, she had a noticeable bump on her belly, signifying that she is pregnant already. 

"C'mon now, Minato, be brave… go there and dominate." Says Kushina pating Minato on the back.

But Minato's face becomes even pailer. "What if I slip while walking up there or something like that. That will be all I will be remembered for, no matter how good of a Hokage I am."

Kushina just raises a questioning eyebrow at this. "You… do know that as an S Rank ninja… saying something like that is stupid. You have the best reflexes in Konoha. Don't be stupid by saying something like that."

….

On the other hand Yami had a whole different problem to deal with. He was currently in his house sitting on his dinner table. His daughters and Tsume had gone to Minato's Coronation Ceremony, they also took Shiro with them.

So it is only Yami and Shiori (his wife) in the mansion. They had food in front of them but neither of them touched it.

Suddenly Shiori frowns a little and says.

"So… I noticed that Tsume has a baby bump… you wouldn't know anything about that now would you."

Yami just casually shrugs. "Well I don't have any idea."

He starts eating his meal after saying that.

Shiori still doesn't do anything as she asks again. "I see… but isn't Hana yours and Tsume's daughter, as you can see, that seems a little suspicious to me."

Yami just looks completely calm at the subtle accusations his wife is sending him. "Well that is true, but you know that ever since I married you, I haven't really done anything s*xual with her."

Shiori doesn't even hide her suspicion as she looks at Yami very intensely. "Is that so…"

"Yep… plus why would I care who Tsume sleeps with now. After all, me and her are done as far as I am concerned." Says Yami as he takes another bite of his steak.

Shiori's eyes drip with suspicion, she doesn't trust Yami at all on this. 

"I married you even though you already have two kids. And I NEVER treated them bad. I even let you live in the same house as one of your 'ex' lovers WHOM you already had a child with before. Now she is pregnant AGAIN and you expect me to think that it had nothing to do with you… you KNOW that we are expecting a child together. So why do this to me when I have been only nice and accepting to you." Says Shiori, even as tears started dripping from her eyes as she said the last part. "So please… I beg of you Yami… please tell me the truth."

Yami suddenly stops eating, he still has an absolutely calm face on him, even while Shiori sobs in front of him. 

"So… you want to know the truth huh?..." Asks Yami, and contrary to her expectations, Shiori strangely fels an icy cold feeling crawl up her spine as Yami continues saying. "The truth is that I don't really love you."

Shiori looks hurt by this, as she can't even look at Yami's face anymore. But Yami still continues. "I married you because of the benefits that you have as the Daimyo's daughter. You have nothing special, and you also aren't as smart as you think."

Shiori just covered her face as tears flew down her face. "Did I do it with Tsume? Absolutely yes… I did. I fu*ked her in our bed, where we sleep. It isn't anything against you or your beauty… but I do know that you don't love me. I can confidently say that you NEVER will love me. Me and you… we are the same. Just different sides of the same coin. So yes I do know what I did… Do I regret it?... Nope absolutely not."

Suddenly Shiori stops crying as she looks at Yami. "You… never loved me?"

She was surprised at this, after all, Yami expresses a lot of physical love towards her. She getts angry at this and Shiori gets an idea and without thinking she asks Yami. "Then tell me dear husband… how would you feel if I cheated on you with another man. Maybe then you will understand how I feel."

Yami just shrugs.

"Well then, I would have to torture you and slowly rip my child out of you while you continuously scream in agony. I will also have a couple of horses and other animals ready to r*pe you to death. I will also kill and torture everyone you have ever loved. That would make as a great example, maybe my next wife wouldn't DARE do  something against me after I make an example out of you." Says Yami casually.

Shiori's eyes widened and her pupils dilated she... is absolutely terrified when Yami says that. She had almost forgotten that she is married to the best killer Konoha has. But now... she is hrashly reminded.

Yami suddenly just smirks again at Shiori. "Also…."

A/N: *yawn* I am sleepy good night.

P.S: This is a real look in harem like relationships… they just don't work. So here it is complicated like this. We see how Shiori has been feeling during this time, as her mask finally cracked and she said her true thoughts.

P.P.S: We see that relationships are a little more complex that just simply love.
