They were good sisters who had shared hardships and joys together. Their hearts had been connected countless times. [T/N: 😏]
Naturally, they could see each other's thoughts with just a glance, and they had already made their decisions.
"If it's together, we don't really have any objections. But this isn't just our matter. As for the others, we won't help you speak on your behalf, Aoba."
In the end, it was Uzuki Yugao who spoke up and said it.
As the eldest among them, it was indeed most appropriate for her to speak about this.
And when Aoba saw that Yugao had agreed almost without hesitation, he was naturally overjoyed.
"Mm, since Yugao-nee and the others agree, then I'll go explain it to the others."
With Yugao's approval, even if the others had a few small complaints, it definitely wouldn't cause any major trouble.
After all, Yugao wasn't just the big sister of Konan, Shizune, Yugito, and that small group.
She could be considered the big sister of everyone.
Although Aoba always tried his best to treat everyone equally, among these girls he had still secretly arranged a ranking.
As for the standard for that ranking, the highest priority was naturally based on who came first.
In this regard, Yugao, who wasn't good with words but was extremely assertive, was far ahead.
Back then, she had only seen from a distance the scene of Aoba kissing Hinata.
This big sister who liked the "raising and nurturing" type didn't hesitate that very night. She directly ate the cabbage she had raised for more than ten years, which had already matured.
So it had to be said that boys needed to protect themselves when they were outside. [T/N: Definitely.]
In this aspect, the others couldn't even catch up if they tried.
And Yugao had also stayed by Aoba's side the longest.
Even the childhood friends like Tenten, Ino, Sakura, and Hinata had all grown up under Yugao's shadow.
With all these advantages, even if Yugao had wanted to hold the wedding alone, she would definitely have been first in line.
But even so, Yugao still agreed to hold the wedding together. In that case, even if the others had objections, it would be easier to persuade them.
Of course, there was still one exception.
Aoba turned his head and looked at Tsunade, who had been lowering her head since earlier, gritting her teeth and saying nothing.
"Sensei, what do you think?"
When he asked this question, the women all looked at Tsunade again with different expressions.
Although everyone knew that Aoba and Tsunade were much closer than ordinary teacher and student, not many people knew about their secret relationship.
Among the people present, only Yugao, Konan, and Shizune knew about it.
People like Yugito, Temari, Kin, and Uzumaki Kasui were still in a vague state. They had suspicions, but no proof.
As for Karin, Uchiha Hikari, and Fuu, they had absolutely no idea.
So the way they looked at Tsunade at this moment naturally varied.
"..."
Seeing the topic indeed arrive at her side, Tsunade's body couldn't help trembling.
Then she shot Aoba, who was still pressed against her, a murderous glare.
"..."
Seeing this, Aoba silently and awkwardly withdrew his hand and wiped it on his pants.
If he pushed too hard now and exposed their relationship, then during future nights Tsunade might really refuse to let him into the house.
"Sensei…"
Aoba could only look at Tsunade again with an expectant expression.
Seeing that he had obediently withdrawn his hand, Tsunade no longer maintained the earlier expression that looked like she wanted to stab someone.
But when she saw the brat looking at her with such hopeful eyes, her feelings became extremely complicated again.
Really, she could indulge this brat in anything.
Even if he "accidentally" went the wrong way tonight, she felt she could immediately accept it.
As long as he didn't mention marriage.
After all, both her age and her identity were right there. If she really got married openly, how would the people of the ninja world look at the two of them?
"Lady Tsunade?"
Shizune, who was sitting on the other side of Tsunade, saw that she had fallen silent and couldn't help softly calling out to her.
She actually quite looked forward to holding the wedding together with Tsunade.
After all, she had followed Tsunade around since she was young. Although they often lived days where they barely had enough to eat and even had to hide from creditors, if they could still walk into the hall of marriage together, she felt it would be complete.
"Hoo!"
When Tsunade heard Shizune call her, she came back to her senses and let out a long breath.
After secretly adjusting her emotions, she looked at Aoba with an expression that made it seem like it had nothing to do with her.
"It's your wedding. Why are you asking me?"
"Anyway, I'm just your teacher. Whether the wedding is held together or separately, you can discuss it yourselves. On the wedding day, I'll be your officiant."
"Alright, I worked all day today and I'm a bit sleepy now. I'm going back to sleep first. You all keep talking."
After saying that, she didn't give Aoba or the others any chance to speak. She stood up boldly and quickly left the room.
"..."
Silence remained behind.
Aoba couldn't help sighing in his heart.
He felt that Tsunade actually did look forward to getting married, but she just couldn't get over the hurdle of her identity. Maybe she needed someone to push her a little.
Just as he was thinking about who he should have push Tsunade tonight, a figure walked up to him.
Aoba slightly raised his head and saw Karin's cute little face and those big blinking eyes.
"Karin, what's wrong?"
"Aoba-nii, are we really going to get married?", Karin asked excitedly.
Right now the news still felt a bit unreal to her.
Seeing how excited she looked, Aoba temporarily set aside the matter about Tsunade and said with a smile,
"Mm, it won't take more than half a year at most."
"That's great!"
After receiving Aoba's confirmation, Karin happily threw herself into his arms.
Yugao and the others also showed smiles. Although there might still be quite a few twists and turns during the coming period, since Aoba had already given a time frame for the wedding, it was still something worth being happy about.
Because Aoba had come back relatively late, it soon became time to go to sleep.
Uzumaki Kasui was the first to leave, but she left Karin behind.
Fuu and Uchiha Hikari, who had been eating in the corner of the sofa all evening, followed shortly after.
But just as the two of them were about to get up, Aoba suddenly stopped them.
"Fuu, Hikari, wait a moment."
"Huh?"
"W… what is it?"
The two of them froze at the same time. After sitting back down, the way they looked at Aoba inevitably became tense.
After all, they had just been discussing marriage.
Now Uzumaki Kasui and Tsunade had both left, yet the two of them were asked to stay behind alone.
'Am I also going to get married?' ×2
