Chapter 1056: Lin: I Haven’t Even Advanced to Master, and Now I Have a Master-Mother?
"Lord Yecheng, the sealing work for the Second Mizukage is complete."
Although Yecheng came to support Konoha as part of their reinforcement team and has a certain reputation in the Ninja World, theoretically, the Kirigakure ninjas would not show him such respect.
However, due to the strength Yecheng displayed and his "special status" as the Mizukage's fiancé, the Mist Village ninjas have come to treat him as one of their own.
Even many veteran Kirigakure ninjas, like Aoi, now look at Yecheng with eyes filled with excitement.
The Mizukage is truly impressive. She was always lamenting about not finding a suitable marriage partner while simultaneously worrying about getting married, and it turns out she had a big surprise in store!
She went to the Five Kage Summit and came back with such an impressive fiancé.
With Yecheng's standing, whether or not he will join the Mist Village is another matter, but simply being able to strengthen ties with Konoha is already worth it.
Hasn't everyone seen how the major ninja villages are simultaneously under attack by the White Zetsu Army and the Reanimated Ninja, yet Konoha's reinforcement team prioritized aiding the Mist Village first?
Suna has been following Konoha's lead for the past two years, acting like the number one little brother.
But what good is that? Kirigakure is now in a matrimonial alliance with Konoha, a bond that Suna cannot match.
Moreover, Yecheng of the Senju clan possesses both the "Sharingan" and "Mokuton", two incredibly powerful Kekkei Genkai. When he marries the Mizukage, who has "Lava Release" and "Boil Release", their children will be unimaginably powerful!
While they might not dare to dream of becoming the first of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, second place is certainly within reach.
With Konoha, a village that always holds the top spot, as their in-law, and Yecheng of the Senju as their impressive son-in-law, the Mist Village has nothing to fear about being overshadowed.
Not long after Yecheng sealed the Second Mizukage, Mei Terumi and Minato Namikaze successfully sealed the Fourth Mizukage as well.
As for the remaining Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, they were no longer a concern. By the time Yecheng and his team were free, more than half of the Seven Swordsmen had already been sealed by Kakashi and his team.
"Thank you so much, everyone from Konoha, for coming such a long way to aid us. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Mei Terumi, who had been in battle for a long time, was quite exhausted. She had to fight, command, and protect the Kirigakure ninjas, all while under immense pressure.
Her gratitude was genuine, as she was well aware that without Yecheng and his team's timely arrival, Kirigakure would have suffered severe losses, if not been completely annihilated.
After all, with two Mizukage and the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist on their side, Kirigakure faced the most formidable enemies among the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
"Mizukage, there's no need to worry. This time, the ninja alliance included Kirigakure as one of Konoha's allies, and mutual support is our duty.
Moreover, with the engagement between you and Yecheng, we will naturally do our best to help you, no matter what happens."
Minato spoke, as the Fourth Hokage, it was most appropriate for him to address the Mizukage.
Of course, there was another reason. Yecheng was currently feeling quite awkward facing Mei Terumi, especially since he, a long-time bachelor, suddenly found himself with a charming fiancée.
"Minato, Senior Student, what are you talking about..."
Hearing Yecheng's voice, Minato flashed him a grin. In just that moment, Yecheng, who knew Minato well, realized that this guy was doing it on purpose!
What a so-called sunny and handsome guy, he’s definitely going to be dark underneath!
This guy must be holding a grudge, still resenting me for exposing his visit to the pleasure district with Jiraiya and making Naruto act like a filial son!
Although it was a case of mistaken identity, Minato felt that Mei Terumi was indeed a good match for Yecheng.
Despite Yecheng's youthful appearance, as a fellow ninja who was only slightly younger than him and Kushina, Minato knew that Yecheng was already well into his years.
Their children were already capable and independent, and it was unacceptable for Yecheng to remain single.
With Yecheng's strength and status, there wasn't really anyone suitable for him to marry in Konoha at the moment.
Kurenai was already taken, Rin was Yecheng's student, and Obito and Kakashi were still single.
Lady Tsunade, on the other hand, would be a surprisingly good match, but like Rin, she was Yecheng's teacher. Unless Yecheng was planning to go against the norms, that wouldn't be appropriate.
As for the younger generation like Sakura and Hinata, they were of the same generation as their son Naruto. If Yecheng were to pursue them, it would be a bit...
In short, Yecheng's situation was similar to Mei Terumi's. Now that they were getting together, Minato thought it was a perfect match.
The Fifth Mizukage was beautiful and had a great figure. Not only would this union solidify a good relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure, but it would also ensure his good friend found a suitable partner. Minato saw this as a win-win situation.
Of course, there was another important reason: if Yecheng got married, he wouldn’t be eyeing Kushina anymore!
While Minato knew that Yecheng had only made Naruto say those things to stir up some drama, what if Yecheng really had feelings for Kushina?
When Rin heard that even Teacher Minato knew about Yecheng and the Fifth Mizukage's engagement, she realized that the news wasn’t a joke. Reluctantly, she called Mei Terumi "Master-mother."
Of course, she called it with great reluctance.
In Rin's view, even if Yecheng were to look for a wife, there were plenty of excellent female ninjas in Konoha.
Anbu member Yugao, Shizune, and even Lady Tsunade. If it came to it, Rin wouldn’t mind being a rebellious disciple...
After resolving the crisis at the Mist Village front, Yecheng instructed Mei Terumi and the others to continue to the designated location to meet up with the main Konoha forces. Then, he and Minato prepared to leave.
Other battlefronts needed their support, and compared to Yecheng's awkwardness, Mei Terumi was quite composed. Before Yecheng left, she acted like a true wife, straightening his clothes and reminding him and the others to be careful.
This scene made Rin feel incredibly jealous, but she could do nothing about it. She could only take out her frustration on Obito.
Obito, however, just kept smiling. It was great that the most challenging rival, Lord Yecheng, was finally settling down. Now, his only rival would be Kakashi.
Without Lord Yecheng as a formidable opponent, in terms of looks, strength, and status in Rin's heart, how could Kakashi compare to him, Obito?
Teacher Minato had finally done something good. Once Lord Yecheng got married, many single male ninjas in Konoha would probably cheer.
It couldn’t be helped. With a diamond bachelor like Lord Yecheng still around, many female ninjas had their eyes on him, leaving the single male ninjas of Konoha with no chance!
