Regarding something about the engagement, the Hyuga and Yamanaka clan would take care of it themselves.
They didn't need juniors like Ryosuke to worry about it.
As for Yugao and the others?
Ryosuke has also confirmed that they would invite some close friends to have dinner at home in a week and let them know about it.
As for the guest list?
Ryosuke discussed with Yugao and the others and finally confirmed the list.
It was not many people.
The guests were all Konoha ninjas, about a dozen or twenty.
At that time, a long table will be set in the yard, and everyone can sit down.
Speaking of which, Ryosuke has now moved.
His residence has changed from the two-story building to a large villa.
It's location is on the outskirts of Konoha.
If it were in the central area, building such a large villa would require demolishing many surrounding structures.
Although it's not impossible, Ryosuke didn't think it was necessary, so he didn't do it.
The villa has a front and back yard, and the backyard is very large.
It is like a small training ground.
Therefore, many people live in the villa.
Except for Ryosuke and his mother, Mizuki, Ryosuke's six girlfriends also have their own rooms in the villa.
But they don't stay here every day.
On the other hand, Karin has already completely moved in.
Since the place she stayed in before was also arranged by Ryosuke, she simply relocated.
Besides, there are also the two maids—one of them being Yugito Nii.
It has been some time since Yugito Nii has arrived in Konoha.
At first, she struggled to adjust and didn't even dare to go out.
She stayed locked in her room every day, wondering what her future would hold.
Occasionally, she missed Kumogakure and the life she had there.
But over time, she gradually adapted to her new environment.
She even found that living in Konoha wasn't so bad.
And although that little troublemaker, Ryosuke kept talking about training her to be a "proper maid", he never did anything extreme.
He only had her serve tea, water, and learn how to cook.
And surprisingly, Yugito Nii discovered that she had quite a talent for cooking.
Even complex dishes became easy for her after trying them a couple of times.
She had never considered cooking before.
After all, Kumogakure had plenty of restaurants, and she had money, so why would she cook for herself?
But now, she was a maid in Ryosuke's household.
As a maid, it was natural to handle tasks like serving tea and preparing meals.
And Ryosuke always came up with strange dishes.
He wouldn't cook them himself, but instead made Yugito Nii do it.
At first, she was reluctant. But then she discovered something shocking.
It turned out that Ryosuke, who seemed capable of anything, was actually hopeless in the kitchen.
That day, Yugito Nii saw Ryosuke cook.
At first, she was curious. But before she even got close, a strange smell wafted from the kitchen.
It was a mix of burnt food and other odd odors.
She was stunned.
She had always assumed cooking was easy—just light a fire and start.
But watching Ryosuke nearly burn down the kitchen, she realized that it wasn't that cooking was easy—she simply had a natural talent for it.
Since then, Yugito Nii stopped resisting learning new dishes. She even developed a love for cooking.
Whenever she had free time, she would experiment with new recipes.
And Ryosuke was quite pleased with this. After all, this meant that his little maid had been fully trained.
Now, she was even finding ways to improve on her own.
In the yard
"Master, your tea."
Ryosuke sat with a manga, enjoying himself.
It was a new series by a famous mangaka from the Land of Fire.
The story was set in a world without ninjas, only samurai.
The world was plagued by monsters that devoured humans, leading people to build walled cities for protection.
And the samurai were the only ones capable of slaying these creatures.
To be honest, Ryosuke found the setting oddly familiar.
But the plot itself didn't seem particularly recognizable.
It was entertaining, though. So, he had been reading this manga lately.
At this moment, Yugito Nii walked over with a cup of tea.
"Set it down."
Ryosuke pointed to the side.
Hearing this, Yugito Nii placed the steaming tea beside him.
Then, she gracefully knelt down and softly asked, "Master, shall I massage your shoulders?"
Ryosuke glanced at her, smirked, and nodded.
"Sure."
Yugito Nii's hands are quite skilled. As she kneaded his shoulders, her technique was light yet firm—very professional.
Half an hour later
Ryosuke patted the back of her hand, signaling her to stop.
"Master, do you have any other requests?"
Still kneeling beside him, Yugito Nii asked.
"Go get some fruit." Ryosuke instructed.
"Yes, Master!"
Yugito Nii stood up and walked toward the house.
At this moment
Mizuki happened to pass by. Seeing this scene, she shook her head with a helpless sigh.
"You... always ordering her around." Mizuki scolded Ryosuke playfully.
Ryosuke simply chuckled.
Truth be told, Mizuki seemed to like Yugito Nii quite a bit.
Despite being a former captive, after spending time together, she realized that Yugito Nii was actually a kind-hearted girl.
She didn't have any of the recklessness or roughness one might expect from a Kumo ninja.
On the contrary, she was very polite.
And Mizuki could tell that her son didn't treat Yuguto Nii like an ordinary servant.
How could she, a mother, not see her son's thoughts?
Therefore, in Mizuki's eyes, Yugito Nii was also one of her future daughter-in-laws.
But this is the matter of young people and it's not convenient for her to join in.
...
The end of the week was approaching.
Today, the mansion was the most lively it has ever been.
Even when Ryosuke had first moved into this new home, there were not so many guests.
In the yard
A long table was laid out, covered with a white gold-edged tablecloth.
Some chefs and waiters in professional attire were busy.
These were the chefs and waiters that Ryosuke had called from the Chinese restaurant he had opened.
Didn't Ryosuke let Yugito Nii learn some Chinese dishes before?
After that, he thought about teaching some more people.
After all, Yugito Nii is too busy to cook too much food by herself.
So, Ryosuke finally had an idea to open a Chinese restaurant in Konoha.
He arranged a Shadow Clone to teach a group of chefs how to cook Chinese food.
Their learning talent wasn't as good as Yugito Nii's though.
But they were still professionals in this line of work, and they still had some abilities and talents. So they learned very quickly.
Unfortunately, Ryosuke didn't know the recipes of many dishes in his previous life. He only knew about twenty kinds of Chinese dishes.
Fortunately, Yugito Nii is talented, and according to Ryosuke's description, she has researched more than a dozen different dishes.
Their taste was also very good.
Ryosuke opened this Chinese restaurant in Konoha, and the business has been booming until now.
If it weren't for the high price of his Chinese restaurant, where a meal is more expensive than a good barbecue, the business would be even better.
But today, his Chinese restaurant was closed for a day.
On the table, plates of delicacies with attractive aromas were served on the table one after another.
As the host, Ryosuke greeted everyone and told them to eat and drink well.
Ryosuke also knocked on the wine glass, making a crisp sound, which attracted the eyes of everyone present.
Ryosuke said, "All of you must be wondering why you were invited to dinner at home today, right?"
Those present here were indeed quite curious. But some people had already guessed why.
"In fact, the main purpose of inviting everyone over for dinner today is to announce one thing."
As Ryosuke said, he looked at Yugao and the others who were sitting beside him.
Then, he announced the news about his engagement to the four girls.
Everyone present laughed and clapped their hands to congratulate them after hearing the news.
"It's amazing!"
Kakashi looked at the five people in a harmonious atmosphere over there, and sighed in his heart.
Speaking of which, he had also recently made a girlfriend.
But Kakashi, who has been single for so many years, doesn't like having a woman around him.
And he doesn't know any sweet talk, nor can he create any romantic atmosphere.
Occasionally, he even gets called out for saying something wrong.
But his girlfriend has always tolerated these shortcomings, so Kakashi was quite touched.
Since the burden of the Sharingan had plummeted, Kakashi found that his life seemed to be moving in a better direction.
It was not just an improvement in strength.
Even in life, there have been many rapid changes.
Today, he saw that Ryosuke and Yugao were getting engaged.
Kakashi thought about the scene of his engagement in the future, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
At this time
A sudden cry came from beside him, bringing Kakashi back from fantasy to reality in an instant.
He turned his head to look, and saw that Guy was in tears, crying and laughing at the same time
He was also clapping vigorously.
Kakashi: "..."
If he had known earlier, he would not have sat next to this guy.
Kakashi was speechless, not knowing what to cry about.
"It's so touching, Kakashi! Aren't you touched?"
While crying, Guy pulled Kakashi, trying to make him cry with him.
Kakashi looked at it and quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, I'm quite touched, but Guy, aren't you exaggerating?"
"No! This is youth!!" Guy shouted.
Hey hey hey~!
Keep your voice down!
Everyone is here!
But all the people who had come to dinner today were friends, and all of them knew Guy.
Therefore, they didn't find Guy's behaviour surprising.
They just felt a little sympathy for Kakashi sitting next to him.
...
After a while
Most of the guests said goodbye and left.
At last, only two guests, Tsunade and Shizune, were left in the villa.
"You are really fast, kid."
Tsunade sat on the sofa with no care of her image.
Shizune, who was holding a porpoise beside her, gave Tsunade a wink desperately, asking Tsunade to change her sitting posture a little bit so that she would not look so sprawled.
But unfortunately, Tsunade didn't see Shizune's wink at all.
"Hey, sober up."
Ryosuke took the two cups of tea from Yugito Nii and handed Tsunade one.
Tsunade took a sip of tea, looked at Yugito Nii who was standing behind Ryosuke holding a tray, and pouted.
This kid really has a knack for dealing with women.
"So, you are about to get married. Do you have any thoughts on what I said before?"
Tsunade took a few sips of hot tea, then looked at Ryosuke and asked.
Hearing this, Ryosuke didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He asked, "Sister Tsunade, are you so unwilling to be the Hokage?"
Tsunade said with a serious look, "It's not that I don't like it, but I think you are more suitable to be the Hokage than me, and the village also needs a Hokage like you to lead everyone."
If it wasn't for Ryosuke's understanding of what kind of person she was, he would have thought Tsunade was talking nonsense.
