Jiraiya and Nagato walked at a distance behind. They had originally headed straight for the wedding venue, but the master and disciple, having not seen each other for so long, slowed down their pace...

The wedding ceremony became increasingly lively.

Baiyun Qingye had already changed her clothes and finished her simple makeup.

Without needing to be urged by Baiyun Yeshan again, he left the room.

However, he didn't go looking for Hyuga Hiashi and the others. He had just stepped out of the room when Hanabi intercepted him and dragged him to the backstage area where the bride was getting her makeup done.

She wanted to see what the backstage area was like, to gain some experience for her future.

However, as soon as they entered the large backstage room, both the adult and the child were somewhat taken aback.

Because this is a white ocean.

Although the individual wedding photos taken previously featured a dazzling array of colorful wedding gowns, today everyone unanimously wore white kimonos, which was quite stunning.

"Qingye, what brings you here?"

When Uzuki Yugao saw Shirokumo Aoba suddenly enter, she was somewhat surprised, but after seeing Hanabi's bright eyes beside her, she immediately understood why.

"I came over to see if there's anything I can do to help."

Baiyun Qingye explained that they hadn't actually sold the fireworks.

"Then come over and help me wrap my waist if you have nothing to do."

Upon hearing what Shirakumo Aoba said, Tsunade immediately began to give him orders.

For white kimonos, you need to fill the waist area with a towel or cotton pad and then deliberately smooth out the curves of your chest and waist.

This is quite a workload for Tsunade.

"it is good."

Shirokumo Aoba naturally wouldn't refuse, and walked over directly to take the job from the staff member behind Tsunade.

They quickly and efficiently helped to wrap it up.

This also allowed many people to more directly experience Tsunade's strength.

"Lord Aoba, please help me with this as well."

When Samui saw Tsunade seeking help, he naturally followed suit.

She believed that her strength was no less than Tsunade's.

"Me too! Me too!"

Seeing these individuals, Hongdou was naturally not to be outdone.

He stood up straight with his head held high.

Suddenly, three mountains of hardship loomed over Baiyun Qingye.

Silent and Mabuyi, who were already used to it and had seen through it, simply rolled their eyes at it.

But when Karin, Sakura, and the other kids saw such a spectacular sight, besides comforting themselves that they were still young, they also urged the blushing Hinata to go up and compete.

However, Baiyun Qingye is only one person, so if help is needed, it can only be given one person at a time.

The staff member who was originally responsible for helping them put on their white kimonos quietly left the room, leaving them alone.

However, just as Shirokumo Aoba finished wrapping Samui's waist and was wrapping Anko's, Karin appeared in front of him fully dressed, opened her arms and twirled around.

"Brother Qingye, is it pretty?"

"very nice."

Bai Yunqingye nodded as if it were a matter of course, and even hugged and kissed the other person.

This is actually a sad story...

But it really is beautiful.

"Hehe~"

Karin immediately beamed with joy and began helping the others put on their clothes.

Immediately afterwards, Sakura and Risaku also arrived in front of Shirakumo Aoba.

After all, their workload is quite small...

"You've gone astray! You've gone astray!"

Seeing that Baiyun Qingye was busy coaxing Xiaoying and Liying, and that his waist wrap was almost turning into a chest wrap, Hongdou tugged at his face in annoyance.

"Cough, it's okay, just pull it down a little."

Seeing this, Baiyun Qingye quickly tried to remedy the situation.

red beans:"……"

After helping Hongdou get dressed, he also helped the others tidy up.

It took almost half an hour in total.

Everyone was finally dressed.

"Brother Qingye, before we go out, shall I take a group photo of you and my sister?"

At this moment, Hanabi saw that all the preparations were complete and pulled out a camera from somewhere.

"Picture?"

Baiyun Qingye glanced at the time; there was still a little time before the wedding officially began.

Taking a photo is no problem.

He glanced at the girls again, and none of them had any objections.

"Let's take a relaxed group photo first, one that's not so formal."

I'll definitely need to be serious for the formal group photos at the wedding later, so I can relax a bit now.

Shirokumo Aoba used Wood Release to create a three-tiered staircase in the room that could capture everyone in a photo.

He stood in the very center of the second floor.

However, because he said he didn't need to be so reserved, everyone crowded around him and squeezed him into the middle.

On the left is Yugao, on the right is Tsunade, behind her is Kaguya, and in front is Tenten...

But after Hanabi set up the camera and pressed the shutter, the attention of the girls who were originally gathered together was suddenly drawn to her again.

As soon as Hanabi pressed the shutter button, she rushed over and pounced on Shirokumo Aoba.

"Fireworks, you're causing trouble again."

Hinata, who was already prepared, reacted immediately, intercepting him in the middle and then pulling him into her arms and pinching his cheeks.

"Hmm~ I'm also Aoba-nii's future wife, so consider this an advance payment from me."

Hanabi said matter-of-factly.

"..."

Hinata was amused by her words; it was surprising that she could receive an advance payment for something like this.

Not only her, but everyone else who was standing close together preparing to take a photo also showed various tense expressions because of Hanabi's words.

At that moment, a flash of white light from the camera, followed by a click, and the image froze in that instant.

In the scene, clear sunlight shines through the glass onto everyone, the pure white wedding dresses radiate a holy glow, and each bride wears a different smile.

However, the happiness radiating from everyone's eyes, including Shirokumo Aoba in the middle, as well as Hanabi and Hinata who were being pulled apart, was undeniable.

boom!

The sound of cannon salutes outside marked the prelude to the official start of the wedding.

However, this is not the end of the story, but merely a period at the end of youth.

postscript:

That's the end of Aoba's story for now. After many ups and downs, it's finally over.

The remaining character information will be added in later side stories.

Thank you so much, dear readers, for taking this long.

I noticed that some of the commenters have been following this story since it was tens of thousands of words long. I'm truly grateful to everyone, but I also feel a little sorry for all those who have supported me.

Because I didn't manage the length of the story with multiple female leads well, I always tried to explain each character's background. As a result, I didn't write the parts that should have been written well, and the middle part was very padded.

As for the new book, if I were to write it, it would probably still be a lighthearted slice-of-life story. I will learn from the experience of this book.

Finally, thank you all again. See you in the next book if there's a chance!
