Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

A week had passed.

In the morning, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing his Hokage hat, appeared alone at the gate of the Uchiha clan, holding a red wedding invitation.

It had been sent by the Uchiha clan.

**[Invitation]:

I, Uchiha Haruto, will be holding a wedding banquet in the Uchiha clan. I respectfully invite the esteemed Third Hokage to witness our joyous union.

Sincerely, Uchiha Haruto.**

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's emotions were complicated.

Envy, jealousy, resentment... and a touch of helplessness.

"I never thought the one to benefit most from the Uchiha clan's downfall would be you, Uchiha Haruto... The first person in history to have such a grand wedding."

Shortly after, representatives from the major ninja families of Konoha arrived one by one.

Despite the decline of the Uchiha, they were still a prominent clan since Konoha's founding. Attending the wedding was a sign of respect from the other families, though their feelings were mixed.

Nara Clan Leader, Shikaku Nara, sighed:

"Women are such troublesome creatures. This Uchiha Haruto sure isn't afraid of trouble… The price he's paying to revive the Uchiha clan is no small one. If it were me, I wouldn't go through with it."

Yamanaka Clan Leader, Inoichi Yamanaka, voiced his concerns:

"Hokage-sama, is this really okay? My daughter, Ino, always says she wants to marry Sasuke when she grows up. You know I can't bear to see her hurt. If Ino does marry Sasuke, and he follows Haruto's example… She might not mind, but I certainly will."

Akimichi Clan Leader, Choza Akimichi, complained:

"I have no issue with the rest, but why did my favorite BBQ and dumpling restaurants have to move into the Uchiha clan? I don't mind the owner getting married, but did she have to relocate the whole business?"

Hyuga Clan Leader, Hiashi Hyuga, added in frustration:

"Be grateful, at least you all have fewer women to worry about. A few days ago, I caught two of our branch family girls sneaking off to apply to be Haruto's wives. I stopped them just in time—imagine the disaster if they had succeeded!"

Danzo, the head of the Shimura clan and Konoha's senior advisor, commented with interest:

"Uchiha and Hyuga bloodlines combining? Haha, what kind of eyes would their child have? Fascinating…"

Hiashi's face darkened:

"Danzo, your thoughts are dangerous. I will never let that happen."

Danzo only snorted, but the idea lingered in his mind.

Meanwhile, Inuzuka Hana, the head of the Inuzuka clan, sighed deeply:

"One of our most talented women was taken by Uchiha Haruto…"

After seeing Haruto's beauty up close, even Hana had entertained the idea. But as clan head, she had to prioritize her family's honor over personal desires.

Standing silently in a corner, Aburame Shibi, leader of the Aburame clan, kept repeating to himself:

"Why hasn't anyone complained about me? Didn't they notice I'm here?"

At this point, two figures approached—the only two remaining male members of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Haruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

"Hokage-sama, clan leaders, welcome to my wedding. With your blessings, I'm sure I'll be stronger than ever tonight."

"Ahem... ahem..."

Sarutobi and the clan leaders coughed awkwardly, uncomfortable with Haruto's bold attitude.

*Sigh…* The Uchiha clan is doomed under Haruto's generation, they all thought.

Only Danzo saw things differently, formulating his own plan:

"Go ahead, Haruto. Run wild. When all your wives have borne your children, you'll be too exhausted to go on. And when you're gone, I'll take over those new Uchiha. I'll brainwash them, train them from birth, and turn them into my personal Sharingan army. They'll help me achieve my ultimate goal."

With that, Danzo left the scene, plotting in silence.

Inside the Uchiha compound, the wedding had already started. The number of brides was astonishing, filling an entire street!

Guests spent nearly an hour just shaking hands with each of Haruto's brides. Exhausted, the clan leaders grumbled:

"Who knew attending a wedding could be more tiring than a mission…"

"Sit down first; I'll go check on Sasuke. For my daughter's future, I need to see if Sasuke's thoughts have been corrupted by Haruto's influence."

"No, let's leave. This wedding is such a hassle. We've shown up and paid our respects. There's no need to stay."

"Shikaku, wait! The banquet is about to start. After all this, we should at least eat before we go."

"Are you sure? When the toasting starts, even if they give you just one drink per person, you'll be toasting for hours…"

Everyone broke into a cold sweat and quickly made their excuses, including the Third Hokage.

"Haruto, I'm swamped with work. There's a pile of paperwork waiting in the office. I'll take my leave now."

"I promised my son I'd play chess with him today, so I'll be going too."

"I just remembered I forgot to water the plants at my daughter's shop."

"It's my son's birthday today. I promised to take him for BBQ."

"Hinata and Hanabi are training later, and I need to personally supervise them."

Haruto smiled:

"I understand. You're all devoted to the village and your families. I won't hold you up. I'll start working hard to make the Uchiha clan prosperous again as soon as possible!"

All the brides in unison:

"Don't worry, Haruto, we'll work hard too~"

As the guests left, the unprecedented thousand-person wedding concluded by noon.

In the following days, Haruto's new life, filled with round-the-clock effort, officially began.

Half a year flew by in the blink of an eye.

One morning, outside the delivery room at Konoha Hospital, Haruto and Sasuke, along with several pregnant wives, anxiously awaited the arrival of Haruto's first children.

Finally, the sound of babies crying filled the air. As the doors opened, Haruto's mind filled with a series of notifications:

**[Ding! Uchiha clan member +1, potential rating: B. Reward: Chakra doubled.]**

**[Ding! Uchiha clan member +1, potential rating: C. Reward: Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu.]**

**[Ding! Uchiha clan member +1, potential rating: SS. Special reward: Mangekyou Sharingan unlocked!]**
