Unbroken Bonds

38: Unbroken Bonds

Yuna was adorned in her stunning shiromuku, crafted from an exquisitely woven fabric with intricate detailing. Proudly displayed on her back was a striking design that merged the symbols of the Uchiha and Senju Clans. Rather than choosing one clan over the other, the couple joined the symbols and kept their respective last names. It was a unique and meaningful choice that spoke to their deep respect and love for both clans.

Yuna's mother sighed at the sight of her daughter, her eyes starting to tear up. She felt like she had wasted so much time; her eyes stared at her child's lavender-haired head as a sad grin crossed her face.

Yuna's lavender hair was braided back, her diamond showed through, and she had opted for a more natural makeup look. "My most beautiful child..." Tsunade smiled as her daughter glared at her, "I'm your only child!" Yuna retorted back.

"Are you almost ready, Yuna-chan? It's time!" Sakura questioned, popping her head into the Senju's chambers. "You look amazing; we're leaving now, though." the kunoichi hummed as she blushed at her elder. Yuna nodded and stood up, daring to glance one last time in the mirror as she nervously pulled on her garments. "I do have to warn you about-"

Yuna and her partner had selected a temple near the Hokage Tower for their wedding ceremony, which was a stunning choice. The temple was adorned with delicate Sakura petals, making it appear even more beautiful. However, Yuna had not anticipated that the entire community of Konoha would show up to celebrate their special day. She was taken aback as she gazed at the crowds, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"You're as popular as Naruto is now...The Princess of Konoha, Goddess of Shinobi."

Yuna walked right past them. Yuna confidently opened the door of the Hokage tower.

"Sakura, I was hoping you wouldn't tell her that..."

Tsunade and Sakura hurriedly followed behind, their eyes filled with surprise at Yuna's boldness. Once outside, Sakura quickly retrieved Yuna's shiromuku, which had started to drag on the ground.

"Mind if I walk with you?" Shikaku approached Yuna with a pleasant expression adorning his face, donning a resplendent green kimono decorated with the distinguished Nara emblem on his back. His eyes twinkled with joy and a sense of fulfillment, reflecting the happiness from within. Yuna reciprocated his grin and cordially extended her arm towards him.

"Of course. Will you see me down the temple hall as well? You've been a great father figure, sensei; thank you." Yuna fought back tears as she watched Shikaku nod. She knew that he often expressed his emotions through his eyes.

"Shikamaru and Yoshino are inside the temple already, and you're family to us. I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Shikaku, I want to thank you and your family. Raising a child truly takes a village, and I am grateful for all you have done for Yuna. " As Yuna's gaze settled on the temple, her heart quickened, and the magnitude of the occasion weighed heavily on her. Standing before the last door separating her from her wedding ceremony, she felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears. Seeking comfort, she turned to her mother, who offered her a gentle smile filled with encouragement and love. "You're going to be fine, Yuna."

Upon opening the doors, Yuna was instantly enveloped by the warm embrace of her beloved family and friends. Her sheer delight in her eyes was undeniable, but her heart skipped a beat when she laid eyes on Obito. Positioned at the entrance, his expression was one of sheer awe and disbelief, his eyes transfixed on his stunning bride. The moment's beauty was palpable; all present were swept up in its magic.

The unbreakable bond of unconditional love was the crucial link that effectively connected the Uchiha and the Senju clans, forging a powerful alliance that would go down in history as one of the most significant marriages ever established in ninja.
