Chapter 498 - Chapter 499: Grand Finale

One month after the battle with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki ended.

Konoha Year 64, January 1st!

Hidden Mist Second Village was officially renamed the Land of Ninja.

The Land of Ninja was established — a nation for ninja!

That year was also officially changed to Year 1 of the Land of Ninja, January 1st.

After this final battle, the various factions of the ninja world finally let go of the grudges in their hearts.

Jiraiya, Kurotsuchi, Darui, and the others gave up their resistance and submitted to the Land of Ninja. Compared to the grudges between the various ninja villages,

what Yuto had done — saving the entire ninja world — far outweighed everything else.

Of course, part of it was also because they now knew the truth of this world. The struggles between ninja villages now seemed rather laughable in retrospect.

Atop Kage Rock in the Land of Ninja.

Yuto lay lazily in a reclining chair, enjoying the gentle breeze with a blissful expression on his face.

"Peace feels really good. Especially with all that chaos out of the way."

Yuto spoke with enjoyment as he reached over and sipped some juice through a straw.

Just then!

The sound of soft footsteps came from behind.

"Lord Yuto has certainly been getting more and more relaxed lately."

Terumi Mei's voice came from behind, carrying a slightly cold and dissatisfied tone.

Yuto quickly sat up, scratched his head, and looked at Terumi Mei with a somewhat sheepish expression.

"Ahem, not really. You're here?"

Yuto gave a light cough and smiled, opening his arms toward Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei rolled her eyes, then swayed her graceful figure over and sat right down on Yuto's lap.

Yuto wrapped his arms around Terumi Mei, a teasing look on his face: "You've been eating well lately. You've put on a little weight."

Feeling Yuto's somewhat wandering hands, Terumi Mei blushed slightly and gave him a light slap.

"There's something I need to tell you."

A happy smile appeared on Terumi Mei's face as she spoke to Yuto.

"I'm pregnant." Terumi Mei's face bore a charming smile as she announced the news.

"Oh? Uh… huh?!"

Yuto nodded automatically out of reflex, then suddenly froze. His eyes went wide as he stared at Terumi Mei.

Seeing the smile on Terumi Mei's face, Yuto was at a loss for what to do. Carefully, he lifted Terumi Mei off his lap and gently set her down on the reclining chair.

"I'm going to be a father?"

As Yuto spoke, he could feel himself getting nervous.

A goofy smile appeared on his face. He leaned forward and pressed his ear against Terumi Mei's belly.

Seeing this, Terumi Mei couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

"It's only been a little over a month. How could you possibly hear anything?"

Terumi Mei reached out her delicate white finger and tapped Yuto on the head.

"Good point."

Yuto laughed heartily.

"In that case, let's get married!" After laughing, Yuto's face turned serious.

"Sure — but I get to be first!"

Terumi Mei wore a captivating smile as she held up one finger.

Yuto nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Terumi Mei's smile grew even brighter. Then she suddenly clapped her hands.

"From now on, you two will call me big sister."

Terumi Mei beamed as she looked toward the back.

Yuto raised his head and looked back as well. Konan and Shion were walking out from behind, both women wearing slightly helpless expressions.

"Terumi Mei sister, we never planned to compete with you."

Shion walked over with a gentle smile.

"You did this on your own."

Konan shook her head, walking over from the other side and wrapping her arms around Yuto's arm.

"Not caring about order is one thing, but there still has to be a proper sequence."

Terumi Mei pursed her lips lightly, looking very much like the boss of the group.

"I guess I'm a real winner in life."

Yuto put one arm around Konan's waist and the other around Shion's waist, looking at the three women with an amused expression.

But very quickly.

Under Yuto's helpless gaze, the three women abandoned him and huddled together, chattering away.

"My position in the family seems to be in jeopardy." Seeing the three women's behavior, Yuto's mouth twitched slightly.

Just as Yuto was about to assert some patriarchal authority!

The sound of footsteps came from behind.

Seeing the figure approaching, Yuto's face showed a trace of surprise, then broke into a smile: "Neji."

"Lord Yuto!"

Neji came respectfully before Yuto and bowed.

At the same time, Neji also noticed Terumi Mei, Konan, and Shion chatting off to the side.

Neji then bowed respectfully to each of the three women as well.

"Um… did I come at a bad time?"

A slightly embarrassed look appeared on Neji's face.

Lady Terumi Mei, and the other two women — they were all in a relationship with Lord Yuto.

This was hardly a secret in the Land of Ninja. Countless men envied Lord Yuto to death.

To openly date three girlfriends at the same time, and for those three girlfriends to get along so well together — this made every man in the Land of Ninja green with envy.

And currently, the only person in the entire ninja world who dared to do this was Lord Yuto alone.

After all, Lord Yuto was the hero who saved the entire ninja world. Having three girlfriends — so what?

"It's fine." Yuto didn't mind at all. He was curious about what Neji needed.

"Um… Lord Yuto, this is an invitation."

Neji solemnly took out a red invitation card from his person and handed it over:

"I'm planning to marry Tenten."

"What? Getting married! When?"

Yuto let out a surprised exclamation. He looked at Neji with an incredulous expression — this normally serious and composed guy.

"Next month, the twelfth."

Neji looked slightly embarrassed as he spoke respectfully.

Yuto checked the date on the invitation, then his face turned very serious. He turned to look at the three women.

"As a teacher, I can't possibly get married after my student!"

"Right, Terumi Mei, Konan, Shion!"

Yuto spoke with a completely earnest expression.

Year 1 of the Land of Ninja, January 15th.

The first Kage of the Land of Ninja, the strongest person in the ninja world, the hero of the ninja world — Yuto — held a grand wedding with the fourth Kage of the Land of Ninja, Terumi Mei; the former Rain Kage, Konan; and the Shrine Maiden of the Land of Demons, Shion.

Everyone offered their most sincere blessings!

The entire ninja world was swept up in excitement!

For a time, Yuto became the object of every man's envy, jealousy, and hatred across the entire ninja world.

"So envious…"

Neji watched Yuto on the wedding stage, surrounded by Terumi Mei, Konan, and Shion. A trace of envy flickered across his face.

Tenten smacked Neji on the head. She put her hands on her hips and glared at him: "What were you muttering just now?"

"I said I wish Lord Yuto a happy wedding!"

Neji spoke with a perfectly straight face.

Perhaps in the distant future, new crises may arise. But happiness belongs to the present, doesn't it?

Besides, Yuto was ready. And the ninja world was ready too!
