Chapter 167 - 62: The Brother-in-Law
Yes, Jinghang and Tsunade were married. The reason was simple—they "created life" together.
It all started three years ago when Jinghang led a campaign to eradicate the largest group of sand bandits in the eastern Huangfutu Desert. After his triumphant return to the village, he and Tsunade had their usual celebration. As fate would have it, the timing was just right, and Tsunade became pregnant.
Initially, neither of them was in a rush to get married. However, the situation left them no choice. Jinghang, as the Kazekage, couldn't allow his child to be born out of wedlock, and Tsunade, as the "Princess of Konoha," deserved to have her status formally acknowledged. With the encouragement of both Sunagakure and Konoha's leadership, they held their wedding during Jinghang's victory celebration.
The wedding took place at the Amber Palace, the largest hotel on the Yuexi Peninsula. It was an extravagant affair, with pavilions erected for miles and a grand procession of red carriages. Daimyō from various nations and even the Five Kage attended to offer their congratulations. The scale of the event rivaled that of the Five Kage Summit. They received a staggering six hundred million ryō in gifts, and the banquet extended across half the food street in a flowing feast. After all, the marriage of the Kazekage and Konoha's Princess couldn't be anything less than grand.
The details of the event were too numerous to recount, but one thing was certain: two people drank themselves into oblivion that day—Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and Pakura, Sunagakure's secretary-general.
Eight months later, Tsunade gave birth to a baby boy named Jingyan.
The little one was now three years old and had just started attending Sunagakure's kindergarten. He looked almost identical to Jinghang, as if they had been cast from the same mold, except for his hair, which had a slight Tiffany-blue hue.
As the saying goes, "Three years old shows the man."Jingyan was not only bright and clever from a young age but also inherited the exceptional genes of both parents. According to tests conducted by Tsunade, the honorary head of the medical department, the boy carried Jinghang's Magnet Release kekkei genkai and seemed to have inherited his mother's superhuman strength and rapid recovery abilities as dominant traits. (For those curious about the genetics behind this, refer to Professor Zhao Shouyuan's works on genetic science.) However, as Jingyan was still young, his abilities had yet to manifest fully. His future potential was limitless.
At this moment, little Jingyan was gleefully perched on his father's shoulders, swaying back and forth. Jinghang, usually too busy with work to spend much time with him, had personally come to pick him up from kindergarten today, much to the boy's delight.
