Uchiha Shopping Street Reconstruction Ceremony

Konoha, Year 25, September 10th.

Today is the day for the Uchiha commercial street renovation.

Thanks to Chiken Clan Leader's persistent efforts, He successfully convinced everyone in the clan to participate in the commercial street project within a week.

Currently, the construction team is tentatively outsourced to Konoha's engineering corps.

This made the Third Hokage beam with joy, a large-scale project spanning an entire street!

In his heart, he exclaimed, "The Uchiha are really damn rich!"

The ceremony stage is located at the entrance of the Uchiha clan grounds, and the commercial street is planned to be nearby.

This location allows people to shop without disturbing the Uchiha clan members' rest, and it's also the best location in the village.

After all, Konoha was built around the Uchiha and Senju clan lands.

Choosing the very center of the village is definitely to make it easier to fleece... no, to make it easier for guests to shop and spend.

Quite a few people came to participate in the ceremony today.

Although the various major clans don't really care for the Uchiha, They still have to give the Third Hokage some face.

"The Hyuga Clan has arrived!" Fugaku, who was responsible for receiving the guests, announced loudly.

This was a task that Chiken had given him.

Of course, he knew that this was an opportunity for his father to train him in communicating with the various major clans.

After all, he is a man who will become the clan leader in the future.

"Clan Leader Meitoku, this way please."

After a brief exchange, Fugaku led a group of Hyuga clan members wearing white kimonos towards the ceremony stage.

Among the Hyuga crowd, a very beautiful little girl was looking around.

Uninterested in the ceremony, she seemed to be searching for something within the Uchiha clan grounds.

"What's wrong, sister? Are you looking for someone you know?" Her brother asked, noticing her absent-mindedness.

"It's nothing, Hizashi, I'm just curious about what the Uchiha clan grounds are like inside," the girl replied expressionlessly.

"Why do I get the feeling you're so interested in the Uchiha? Have you fallen for someone in there?" the girl's other brother asked.

Her two brothers looked exactly alike.

The girl quickly retorted after hearing her other brother's words, "Hiashi, you're so annoying, I said no, and I mean no!"

Hyuga Hiashi looked at his sister with interest.

His sister was good in every way, except that her personality was too strong, always giving people a cold feeling.

Intending to enlighten his sister, he joked, "Tell the truth, if you really fancy some Uchiha kid, I can definitely settle things at home...

"If he's unwilling, I'll just kidnap him back to the Hyuga house."

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" The girl immediately shook her head, denying it three times in a row.

Seeing this, Hiashi decided to increase the pressure: "Nao, don't be so quick to deny it. As your brother, I need to take good care of you."

Hizashi, unable to bear his twin brother continuing to tease their sister, So, he reminded, "Hiashi, brother, we're almost at the ceremony stage."

Hearing this, Hiashi had no choice but to stop.

He wondered why his twin brother was so clueless.

Their conversation was just taken as a joke by the other Hyuga clan members.

The Hyuga's little princess, liking an Uchiha kid?

That's even more laughable than the Senju Clan's young master liking men.

"Hello, Clan Leader Chiken," Hyuga Meitoku, the current clan leader of the Hyuga Clan, greeted Chiken.

"This way, please, Clan Leader Meitoku," Chiken politely guided the Hyuga group to sit down.

Although the Uchiha and Hyuga are both dojutsu clans and have never really gotten along, Everyone present was a clan leader from various major clans.

Not giving face would just make them a laughingstock, wouldn't it?

On the other side, at the Uchiha clan leader's house.

Shin was in his room, putting on his Uchiha trench coat.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he felt a toothache at the sight of his angular, medium-length hair: "The Uchiha might as well change their name to the 'Funeral Love Family'..."

"My hair never stays straight no matter how long I tie it up. With this hair quality, even if Tony the stylist came, there's probably nothing he could do…"

After venting, he still picked up the headband and obediently tied his hair up.

"Shin, are you ready yet?" Aoko outside the door seemed very anxious.

"I'm ready, Mother," Shin replied before leisurely walking out of the room.

"If it weren't for Father, would I have gotten up so late?" Shin started shifting the blame to Chiken.

Last night, the father and son had talked for a long time about today's ceremony schedule.

Having chatted until late at night, he wouldn't admit that he was the one who woke up late.

"Alright, don't blame it on your father. He got up early to prepare for the ceremony."

Shin looked up to the heavens, speechless. "Is there any justice?"

Aoko quickly patted her "cute" little son.

Then she urged, "Stop fooling around. The ceremony starts at 10 o'clock. If your father sees you're late, you won't have any good days in the future."

Helpless, Shin had no choice but to follow his mother out the door.

However, a certain idea in his heart was stirring.

With a "naive" smile, he suggested to Aoko, "Mother…呸, I mean, Mother, have you ever seen a palm technique that descends from the sky?"

At the groundbreaking ceremony site of the Uchiha commercial district, Chiken and the Third Hokage were exchanging pleasantries.

Suddenly, Chiken's eyes caught sight of the Senju Clan members in the crowd.

They were standing tall and proud, following Fugaku to the front of the ceremony stage.

"Third Hokage, please excuse me for a moment," Chiken politely bid farewell to the Third Hokage, then strode towards the direction of the Senju crowd.

The Third Hokage looked at the grand scene, his expression unwavering, even wanting to laugh a little.

What else could he be doing, rushing to find the Senju Clan?

It was definitely nothing good.

They could only blame their young master for being unpromising. When would he ever get back at them? Only then would the grudges between these two sides be over.

"Oh, isn't this everyone from the Senju Clan? Your arrival truly makes my humble Uchiha clan grounds shine!"

Chiken's voice arrived before he did.

It was the sarcasm in his tone that made the Senju Clan members want to turn hostile on the spot.

"Ah, it's Brother Chiken, are you well? Are you well? Today, this foolish brother is disturbing you," Senju Kagerou, the leader of the Senju Clan, retorted in the same tone.

The rest of the family members had been paying attention to this grand scene since the Senju Clan entered the venue.

Now, their mood was like enjoying watermelon with the air conditioning on a hot day – comfortable.

Being able to witness this good show between the Uchiha and the Senju with their own eyes, they all felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Chiken was suffocating from Kagerou's "brother" address.

Was he only a few years older than him? Did the Senju have no shame?

Sorry, the Senju Clan said that their face had been completely lost by their young master.

Now, they wanted to drag the Uchiha down to hell with them.

"Brother is joking. The Uchiha Clan doesn't have much, but we have plenty of places to stay. How about Brother stay here tonight and let us reminisce about the good old days?"

Reminisce about the good old days? The days of being ridiculed by the whole village!

Of course, Kagerou could hear the hidden meaning in his words, and the smile on his face immediately deepened: "Okay, it just so happens that everyone in our Senju Clan hasn't had breakfast yet. This foolish brother is really disturbing you today."

Chiken wanted to curse.

Did the Senju have to be so shameless? It felt like they were bringing their whole family to freeload a meal!

The rest of the families present were thrilled by the scene.

The two of them were saying such high-sounding things.

But between the lines, there was sarcasm everywhere.

For a moment, even the air in the venue became lively.
