Chapter 650 - 56

Chapter 56 Marriage MeetingNaruto's mind went blank, completely bewildered.I was just arguing with Xing Yao about strength levels and the origins of the system, and I hadn't even sorted out my thoughts yet.He was caught off guard by the two pieces of news brought by Cang Chao and Su Youwei. The unexpected double whammy left him completely bewildered.Cang Chao and Su Youwei stood side by side in front of him, both with a hint of unease on their faces.As managers of Windmill Village, the two were methodical and got straight to the point."Brother Lin, the person leading Uchiha's side is Lady Uchiha Fugaku. Ostensibly, they're exchanging pleasantries, but they also want to hold a marriage alliance meeting with our Windmill..."Su Youwei picked up the conversation, her tone tinged with a hint of helplessness:" Hyuga is even more direct. The Hyuga clan chief personally came to invite you over for a meeting.""They made it clear that they wanted to finalize the engagement between Naruto and Miss Hinata, and also hold a marriage ceremony..."Naruto raised his hand and rubbed his temples hard, feeling utterly overwhelmed and helpless.He single-handedly built Windmill Village from scratch, managing it step by step.He made a name for himself among the Five Great Ninja Villages and built up a considerable network of connections.Benn thought he was just more famous and had gained some foothold in Ninja World.Unexpectedly, these top wealthy families in Konoha have all set their sights on Windmill Village, and they've all set their sights on marriage alliances with them." Uchiha … Hyuga …" Naruto repeated softly, countless plot lines flashing through his mind in an instant.Uchiha Fugaku, the clan chief who attempted a coup in the original work but failed, is now taking the initiative to arrange a marriage. Could it be that she wants to take advantage of Windmill Village's influence?Hyuga Clan is a prestigious family in Konoha, andthe Crown Princess is completely devoted to Naruto.Naruto looked at Xing Yao, who was watching the scene unfold, and said, "Tell me, what should I choose? Agreeing to either side is not a good idea.""Analyze from the perspective of maximizing benefits."" The Uchiha Clan possesses formidable fighting power and currently wields considerable influence within Konoha. By forming an alliance with them through marriage, we can leverage their power to solidify Windmill Village's position in the Land of Fire."" The Hyuga Clan is a traditional and prestigious family in Konoha. Marrying with them will gain the greatest possible recognition from the Konohagovernment and will benefit the long-term development of the village."Naruto felt a chill run down his spine: "So you're telling me to have my cake and eat it too?""Otherwise what? Otherwise, do you want to offend both sides? Why don't you just hold the event together with all three races?"" I also know about Byakugan and Sharingan. I wonder what would happen if the two were combined..."Naruto was speechless at Xing Yao's imagination and was about to retort.Cang Chao interrupted him, saying:"Brother Lin, both sides have sent people to urge you to come over immediately to discuss the matter.""Moreover... they don't seem to know that the other side is also here, and the two sides are acting separately."Naruto took a deep breath and patted Cang Chaoon the shoulder: "Go, of course we'll go! I want to see what these two powerful families are really up to."He straightened his robes and stepped out of the room when he saw two figures rushing towards him from the direction of the village entrance.On one side is Uchiha Fugaku, dressed in a Uchiharobe, with a solemn expression, followed by a weasel with a cold gaze.On the other side was the Hyuga Clan Chief, dressed in white and bearing the Hyuga Clan's insignia. Hinata followed behind him, her cheeks slightly flushed.Their eyes met, and an eerie silence instantly fell over the scene.Uchiha Fugaku spoke first, her tone carrying the dignified air of someone from a prestigious family:" Mr. Naruto, I have long admired your name… MyUchiha Clan wishes to establish a partnership withWindmill Village. I wonder what Mr. Naruto's opinion is?"Chief Hyuga followed closely behind, his tone calm yet conveying an undeniable firmness:" Naruto, the Hyuga Clan shares the fate of windmills, and our alliance with you is for the peace and stability of the Ninja World!"Naruto stood in the middle, looking at the family representatives on both sides who were eyeing him menacingly.He cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping over everyone, thinking to himself: Since there's no way to avoid it, then let's do our calculations properly."Two clan leaders."Naruto spoke slowly, his expression calm."This marriage alliance concerns the long-term alliance between the two tribes and Windmill Village. It is a matter of great importance, and I cannot make a hasty decision."He paused, his gaze sweeping across Uchiha Fugaku and Chief Hyuga's faces, his tone becoming exceptionally firm:"How about this, three days from now, I will host a banquet at Windmill Village to hold a formal alliance and marriage ceremony, and specially invite the key figures from Konoha, Uchiha andHyuga to gather together.""At that time, the three-way marriage will take place simultaneously. What do you all think?"Naruto knew that this was the only way to finalize the marriage between the two families.By not making a single choice, we can avoid offending either party and make the marriage legitimate.This opportunity will also allow Windmill Villageand the Konoha family, two prominent clans, to become a complete partnership, achieving a win-win situation for all three parties.Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his deep eyes. He clearly hadn't expected Naruto to make such a suggestion, and then fell into deep thought.Benn brought young men of marriageable age from his tribe, intending to arrange a marriage between them with Windmill Village and to use Naruto's influence to solidify Uchiha's position in Konoha.After all, Uchiha is currently being ostracized inKonoha and desperately needs a strong outside help.However, if all three parties enter into a marriage alliance, although they would be on equal footing with Hyuga Clan, the marriage would be finalized.To avoid complications and save the trouble of arguing with Hyuga Clan, this is not a bad solution.Upon hearing this, the solemnity in the eyes of the Hyuga clan chief gradually faded.Benn had been worried that Naruto would favor the radical Uchiha Clan, but now that Naruto had proposed a three-way banquet and a joint marriage, Ann's arrangement was perfectly reasonable.After a moment's thought, Chief Hyuga nodded first and said in a calm tone:"Since Mr. Naruto has arranged things this way, taking into account the friendship of all three parties, it is perfectly reasonable.""I, Hyuga Clan, will arrive at Windmill Village in three days to discuss the marriage."Naruto nodded slightly and said calmly:"In that case, we would like to trouble the two clan leaders to go back and make their own preparations. In three days, the entire Windmill Village will be waiting for your arrival."Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku said no more, bowed slightly to Naruto, and then led Uchiha Itachi and the others to take their leave.Chief Hyuga nodded to Naruto and led the Hyuga Clan members away slowly.Watching the two groups of people leave, Narutobreathed a sigh of relief.This unexpected marriage crisis has finally been brought under control, and the grand marriage ceremony will take place in three days
