Kushina recalled that Naruto had met Jiraiya before and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Minato. Then, she looked at Jiraiya with a mischievous grin and said, "What if it's a girl?"
Jiraiya immediately felt awkward, "Haha, I forgot. Yeah, it might not necessarily be a boy."
But then, Jiraiya quickly added, "A daughter is fine too. I've already thought of a name for a girl as well."
Kushina asked, "Then, Jiraiya-sensei, let's hear it."
Jiraiya spoke seriously, "If it's a son, let's name him Naruto. It's the name of the protagonist in one of my novels, which I've already written. You'll be able to read it soon."
"He has an unbreakable spirit, never gives up, and always keeps his promises. He's cheerful and bright, just like Minato."
Kushina was full of anticipation, "Alright, Jiraiya-sensei, my son will be named Uzumaki Naruto from now on!"
"But what about a daughter?"
"A daughter, huh..."
Jiraiya laughed, "Then just call her Naruko."
Kushina scoffed.
But when she looked at Minato, her face turned red again.
"Naruko actually sounds pretty nice. Minato, why don't we have a Naruko first and let Naruto be her little brother?"
Minato instantly broke into a cold sweat, but seeing Kushina's hopeful expression, his heart softened. He said gently, "Whatever you want."
Kushina was overjoyed and hugged Minato, planting a kiss on him, "Hubby, you're the best!"
Jiraiya chuckled, "Alright, stop showing off your love. It's about time. Let's start the ceremony."
Kushina and Minato nodded, and just as the ceremony was about to begin—
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the entrance.
BOOM!
The grand gates of the Senju Clan were blasted open.
Everyone was shocked and instinctively turned toward the entrance.
An elder responsible for guarding the Senju residence became furious and shouted, "Who dares to damage the Senju grounds?This place was once the home of Lord Hashirama and Lady Mito!"
However, upon seeing who it was, the elder suddenly became embarrassed and coughed loudly a few times.
As the smoke cleared from the entrance, two figures slowly emerged—Tsunade and Shizune.
At this moment, Tsunade stood with her fist raised. Seeing that the ceremony hadn't started yet, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Just in time."
Then, she looked at the elder apologetically. "Grandpa Ishi, I broke the door again. I'll be more careful next time."
The old man sighed helplessly and spoke in a heartfelt tone, "Princess Tsunade, you really need to change this habit of breaking doors. You're even better at destruction than Danzo."
Instantly, many of the Konoha higher-ups in attendance, especially Sarutobi Hiruzen, Homura Mitokado, and Utatane Koharu, became visibly awkward.
There weren't many in Konoha who dared to mock the F4 (Sarutobi, Danzo, Homura, and Koharu), but as the guardian of the Senju Clan's residence, this elder had the right to do so.
Kushina, on the other hand, was ecstatic. She didn't care about the ceremony anymore and immediately leaped toward Tsunade.
She threw herself into Tsunade's arms, rubbing her head against Tsunade's well-endowed chest.
"Tsunade-nee, you actually came! I thought you wouldn't make it."
Tsunade's heart softened. She patted Kushina's head, "You should've told me about the wedding earlier. If I hadn't heard the news by chance, I would've missed it."
"I won't let that pervert Jiraiya steal all the spotlight. Minato has Jiraiya as his elder, and you have me! I'll be your support!"
Kushina pouted, "Well, it's because you always leave without a word! If it weren't for my wedding, who knows when you'd come back?"
Tsunade thought of her younger brother, Nawaki, and her lover, Dan, and let out a sigh. She felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Kushina. It's my fault—I neglected you."
Kushina pulled away from Tsunade's embrace, extended her hand with a mischievous grin, and said, "Tsunade-nee, where's my gift? It's my wedding, and you wouldn't show up empty-handed, right?"
Tsunade suddenly looked embarrassed. She had actually thought about getting a gift on the way here, but all her money had been gambled away. She even owed a few hundred thousand ryo, so she couldn't afford anything at the moment.
Seeing this, Kushina huffed and pouted, "Tsunade-nee didn't prepare a gift? I'm so heartbroken."
Tsunade sighed, "Alright, Kushina. Just tell me—what do you want?"
Kushina sniffled dramatically, "You said it! No take-backs!"
Tsunade nodded, "As long as it's something I can do, I'll give it to you."
Kushina immediately waved at Rin, "Rin, come here."
Rin was momentarily stunned, unsure of what her teacher's wife was planning. Obito, however, realized something and immediately gave her a push, "Rin, go quickly."
Rin walked over, still confused, and Kushina took her hand.
Kushina introduced her, "Tsunade-nee, this is Minato's subordinate, Nohara Rin. She's an outstanding medical-nin. From now on, I'll be leaving her in your care."
Kushina then bowed to Tsunade.
Rin's eyes widened in shock, and her heartbeat quickened, 'Am I really being entrusted to Tsunade-sama as a disciple?'
'But… will Tsunade-sama agree?'
Rin anxiously looked at Tsunade.
Tsunade smirked. "So this is what you were planning, Kushina."
She then turned to Rin, "Becoming my disciple won't be easy. Are you prepared?"
Rin immediately smiled brightly, her gaze determined, "Tsunade-sama, no matter how difficult the challenges, I will overcome them."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction. With just one look, she could tell that Rin was an excellent kunoichi who carried herself well—just like her.
She was quite pleased with this disciple.
"Then stop calling me Tsunade-sama. Call me sensei."
Rin quickly nodded and corrected herself, "Yes, Tsunade-sensei!"
The various ninja clans watching couldn't help but feel envious.
Tsunade had taken another disciple. Last time, it was due to her connection with Dan; this time, it was because of Kushina.
If possible, they also wished for their clan members to become Tsunade's disciples.
Obito was especially happy for Rin. She had finally achieved her dream.
He had been struggling to figure out how to convince Tsunade to take Rin in, but in the end, the big sister (Kushina) just charged in and made it happen.
Obito gave Kushina a grateful look, sighing inwardly that he owed her yet another favor.
At this moment, Tsunade said, "Alright, Rin, step back for now. The wedding ceremony needs to proceed."
Rin nodded and returned to Obito's side, her face still filled with excitement.
Tsunade then glanced at Orochimaru, who was sitting in a corner, before making her way to Jiraiya's side and taking her seat among Kushina's elders.
Jiraiya was delighted. He hadn't expected to see Tsunade at such an occasion.
"Tsunade, I'm really glad you came."
Tsunade shot him a look of disdain, "Don't flatter yourself. I didn't come because of you. If it were your wedding, I wouldn't care who you married—I wouldn't show up."
Jiraiya was instantly crushed, struck down once again by his goddess.
With that, the wedding resumed. Minato and Kushina stepped back, holding hands as they went through the formalities once more, stopping before Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Tsunade looked at Minato and said in a loud voice, "Minato, I'm entrusting Kushina to you. Take good care of her. If anything happens to her, you'll pay!"
