Ino-Shika-Cho Comes Knocking, Bearing Great Gifts

Having heard that the Uchiha Clan of the Land of Fire was holding a grand wedding for their clan head, Uchiha Madara, several merchant caravans had spontaneously organized themselves and come to the Uchiha Grounds. On one hand, they wanted to deliver gifts and build closer ties with the Uchiha Clan, making things much easier if they needed anything in the future.

On the other hand, the Land of Fire now practically revered the Uchiha above all else. No ninja clan could contend with the Uchiha Clan.

Even the Senju Clan, once equal to the Uchiha Clan, had been defeated beneath the Uchiha's unstoppable military might.

If they did not seize this chance to grovel before the Uchiha, then the leaders of those merchant caravans had to be out of their minds. Not only did they send gifts to the Uchiha, they also offered massive discounts on supplies the Uchiha Clan needed to purchase, all just to earn the Uchiha Clan's favor in the future.

Even merchant caravans knew to seize the chance to cling to the Uchiha's thigh, yet some ninja clans insisted on rejecting them.

On the eve of Uchiha Clan Head Uchiha Madara's wedding, Uchiha Jobu flipped through the intelligence reports that had been sent back. His face grew increasingly grim, and he nearly ground his teeth in fury as he growled, "These fools who don't know death from life... Do they think the Senju Clan can still shelter them? They actually rejected the goodwill extended by the Uchiha. Do they think the Uchiha can no longer raise their blades?"

The maid Ying said softly, "My lord, logically speaking, the Senju Clan should no longer have the ability to shelter them. Yet these ninja clans still chose to reject the Uchiha.
