Chapter 709 Thank you, Marshal
"Thank you very much, Master Yuan!" he said respectfully in secret. He knew that Master Yuan was helping him.
“However, Master Yuan, I have a request,” Zhang Hai suddenly said.
Master Yuan raised an eyebrow. "What request?"
"I hope that all the ninjas in the village will be notified of the wedding and welcome to attend," Zhang Hai said firmly. "I hope that my wedding will receive everyone's blessings."
Upon hearing this, Master Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. He didn't understand why Zhang Hai would make such a request.
“Orb, don’t you know?” Master Yuan said in a deep voice, “The ninjas of Kirigakure have always been hostile to outsiders. If you invite them to attend the ceremony, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.”
Zhang Hai shook his head. "Master Yuan, I believe that as long as we truly love each other, the villagers will bless us. Moreover, I also hope to take this opportunity to prove to everyone that bloodline limit ninjas are not anomalies, and that we can have a happy life just like ordinary people."
Looking into Zhang Hai's eyes, which were filled with sincerity and determination, Yuan Shi couldn't help but be moved. He knew that Zhang Hai was fighting for the dignity of bloodline limit ninjas.
After a moment's hesitation, he finally agreed to Zhang Hai's request.
“Alright, Orb. I grant your request,” Genji said. “I will report to the Mizukage and notify all the ninjas in the village to come and witness the ceremony.”
"Thank you very much, Master Yuan!" Zhang Hai said respectfully.
Master Yuan didn't say anything more. He simply patted Zhang Hai on the shoulder, then turned and left the cabin. He knew that the next three days would be extremely busy.
Zhang Hai watched Yuan Shi's departing figure, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. He knew that everything was proceeding according to his plan.
His reason for inviting all the ninjas to the ceremony was to spread the news and let the people of Kumogakure know about it. He planned to retrieve the S-rank intelligence in front of everyone on the wedding day and clear White Fang's name!
He knew this would be a huge gamble. But he had no other choice. For Professor White Fang, for the S-rank intelligence, he had to risk everything!
Zhang Hai returned to the cabin, knowing he must remain vigilant for the next three days. He was in enemy territory, surrounded by danger. He had to ensure his own safety to successfully complete his mission.
He sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing to recover. He knew that a fierce battle would ensue on the wedding day. He had to get himself into peak condition.
After an unknown amount of time, Terumi Mei woke up. She saw Zhang Hai sitting by the bedside, a delighted smile on her face.
"Orb! You're awake!" Mei Terumi exclaimed happily.
Zhang Hai turned to look at Terumi Mei, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Yes, I'm awake. I feel much better."
"That's wonderful!" Mei Terumi exclaimed excitedly. "Orb, Master Genji has agreed to our marriage! The wedding date is set for three days from now!"
A blush crept across Mei Terumi's face, her eyes filled with shyness and anticipation. She had never imagined that she would decide on her life's most important matter so quickly.
Looking at Terumi Mei's shy expression, Zhang Hai felt a pang of guilt. He knew that his next actions would cause this kind woman immense harm. But he had no choice. He had to complete his mission.
He reached out and gently stroked Mei Terumi's face, saying softly, "Mei Terumi, thank you. Thank you for agreeing to marry me."
Mei Terumi felt the warmth of Zhang Hai's hand, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
For the next three days, Kirigakure was brightly decorated and filled with a festive atmosphere. Red lanterns hung along the streets, and the character for "double happiness" was pasted everywhere. The wedding venue was set up in the open space below the Mizukage's office, which was carefully decorated with a red carpet and lots of flowers.
All the ninja of Kirigakure, including the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, as well as representatives from other villages, received invitations. They flocked to the ceremony, eager to catch a glimpse of the mysterious groom and the wedding of Kirigakure's future female Mizukage.
On the wedding day, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze blew. The entire Hidden Mist Village was immersed in a festive atmosphere.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Zhang Hai and Terumi Mei walked out hand in hand.
Mei Terumi was dressed in a pure white robe, adorned with an exquisite headdress, and her face wore delicate makeup. Her beauty reached its peak at this moment. Like a holy goddess, she gracefully approached, captivating everyone's attention.
Zhang Hai was dressed in a black ninja outfit and wore a mask. He was tall and composed. He held Mei Terumi's hand and walked step by step toward the wedding stage.
On his way to the stage, Zhang Hai felt the warmth of Terumi Mei's hand. Looking at her happy face, his guilt grew stronger. He knew that his next actions would completely destroy all her happiness. But he had no other choice.
He could only silently say "I'm sorry" to Mei in his heart.
The wedding ceremony was solemn yet simple. After the opening remarks, all the guests stood up and gave the newlyweds a warm round of applause and heartfelt blessings.
"Now, please let the newlyweds toast all the guests!" the emcee announced loudly.
Zhang Hai and Terumi Mei raised their wine glasses and first approached the officiant, Yuan Shi. Yuan Shi wore a kind smile as he looked at Terumi Mei, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Mei Terumi, you've finally found your happiness. I'm so happy for you." Genji raised his wine cup and gently clinked it against Mei Terumi's.
Mei Terumi's eyes glistened with tears as she bowed deeply to Master Genji. "Thank you, Master Genji."
Then, Yuan Shi looked at Zhang Hai. Although he still had some doubts about Zhang Hai's identity, seeing Terumi Mei so happy, his doubts dissipated considerably.
"Orb, I hope you will treat Mei Terumi well. If I find out you are bullying her, I will never let you off!" Genji said in a serious tone, but there was a hint of warning in his eyes.
Zhang Hai bowed respectfully to Master Yuan, "Please rest assured, Master Yuan, I will treat Terumi Mei well. I swear, I will never let her suffer any harm."
He raised his wine cup and gently clinked it against Yuan Shi's. The clinking of the cups produced a crisp sound, as if heralding a new beginning.
"Take good care of Terumi Mei," Master Yuan instructed again, his tone earnest. "After the wedding, you should go to the bridal chamber to rest as soon as possible. Don't let Terumi Mei get too tired."
