Since these people were sensible, Uchiha Takashi let them go; there was no point in keeping them in the office any longer.
Uchiha Takashi then ordered all the Uchiha officials present to pack up and prepare to return to their clan with him.
However, on the very next day, Fū Uchiha came to the office looking for Uchiha Takashi.
"Feng? What are you doing here?" Uchiha Takashi asked with a puzzled look. "Shouldn't you be inspecting the iron mine right now? After you're done, shouldn't you just rest?"
Fū Uchiha blushed, unsure what to say. It wasn't until Uchiha Takashi waited a long time that he finally spoke, "Clan Head, tomorrow is my wedding with Tsukina... so I hope we can return to the clan grounds together tomorrow for the wedding ceremony."
Uchiha Takashi: "?" Dude, you two just started dating, how come you're getting married already? Then Uchiha Takashi thought for a moment, this is the Warring States period, isn't it normal to get married early? He then felt relieved.
That's how it was during the Warring States period. What was the point of dating? It was all about marriage! So, if two people were together, they could just pick an auspicious day and get married.
"Of course. As the eldest elder of the family, your marriage is undoubtedly a major event. I'll make the arrangements at the Naka Shrine right now, and you can hold the wedding when you return."
Fū Uchiha was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! I'll go back and tell Tsukina the good news right away." Then, he turned and left.
Uchiha Takashi watched Fū Uchiha's departing figure and shook his head. Most Uchiha Clan were like Fū Uchiha.
It's not that he's monogamous; while Fū Uchiha does have that trait, most Uchiha Clan are as reserved and taciturn as he is.
So-called marriage is nothing more than two people who like each other and decide to live together. The success rate of such marriages is too low, which is why the Uchiha Clan's reproduction is very slow.
In simpler terms, the Uchiha Clan has a slow population growth rate due to their personality traits; compared to other clans, the Uchiha have the slowest population growth rate.
Unlike the Senju Clan, who are incredibly resilient and naturally have many children, they also seem to enjoy having more, and they date and get married very quickly.
Needless to say, the Uzumaki Clan is characterized by having many children and marrying quickly; another major characteristic is that they also marry many wives.
During the Warring States period, the rate of male casualties in battle was too high. Clans like the Uchiha, which practiced monogamy, either perished because their population decline far exceeded their growth rate, or they were directly absorbed into other clans.
In any case, there's no other clan in the entire Shinobi World that practices monogamy like the Uchiha Clan.
Although many members of the Senju Clan practice monogamy, they do not actually oppose Senju Clan. Their marriage system is very liberal; you can marry as many men as you want.
The Uchiha doesn't know when they'll be able to increase their population, Uchiha Takashi doesn't even know if he'll live to see the Uchiha Clan grow and prosper.
But that's all in the future. Who can predict the future? Maybe he won't even need to expand the Uchiha; with the current population alone, he could unify the Shinobi World!
Soon, the next day arrived. Uchiha Takashi returned to the clan's territory with Fū Uchiha. As for the village, it was naturally left to Hen Uchiha, who could take care of it.
This was Tsukina Fujiwara's first time visiting the Uchiha Clan's territory. Looking at the towering walls before her, Tsukina Fujiwara's eyes widened.
In Tsukina Fujiwara's memory, although these ninja clans were all very powerful, their clan territories didn't seem to be this vast.
Although it's a clan gathering place, it's essentially more like a small village, and a very small one at that, since the population isn't very large. Even a slightly larger ninja clan, like the Uchiha Senju, only has tens of thousands of members.
Other clans were even smaller than one could imagine, so in Tsukina Fujiwara's mind, the territory of a so-called ninja clan was generally just a low earthen wall surrounding a village.
But the Uchiha were different. Or rather, the Uchiha Clan's headquarters didn't resemble a clan at all; it was more like an independent town.
The massive walls were comparable to those of larger towns, and the buildings inside astonished Tsukina Fujiwara.
The buildings inside were densely packed, and the streets were bustling with people, all seemingly busy yet calm and composed—a scene of bustling prosperity.
It doesn't look like a family stronghold that has frequently experienced war; instead, it resembles a bustling town in peacetime.
Fū Uchiha held Tsukina Fujiwara's hand as they walked slowly down the street. " Tsukina, this is our Uchiha Clan's territory. Isn't it magnificent and impressive?"
Tsukina Fujiwara looked at Fū Uchiha and replied with a smile, "Very impressive, completely beyond my expectations. The Uchiha Clan is indeed very powerful."
Upon hearing Tsukina Fujiwara praise the Uchiha Clan, Fū Uchiha chuckled. He was proud of the Uchiha Clan Uchiha Clan, so naturally he was happy when others complimented them.
"That's the food street, that's the ninja tool shop, and that's the residential area. I'm familiar with this place, let me show you around." Without saying a word, Fū Uchiha grabbed Tsukina Fujiwara's hand and started running around the clan's ancestral land.
The tribespeople nearby only felt a gust of wind flash by, and then saw a figure rush past them quickly. It wasn't very fast, but the breeze it stirred still brushed against their cheeks.
"Youth is wonderful, so full of energy," an elderly Uchiha man said with a smile. "Looking at these young people reminds me of my own youth..."
Another clansman, sitting to the side, after witnessing such a display of power, looked closely and realized it was Fū Uchiha.
Fū Uchiha was very famous within the clan's territory, both as the eldest elder and a well-known figure among the younger generation.
However, unlike the others who had only heard of him, this Uchiha clansman knew Fū Uchiha.
The clansman rubbed his eyes in disbelief, staring at Fū Uchiha's hand in his, and said in shock, "Has Feng finally come to his senses? He's even found a girlfriend?"
Another person who knew Fū Uchiha chimed in, "What? You said someone found a girlfriend?" Their shocked expressions were like someone hearing that their usually stay-at-home brother had suddenly started dating—utterly incredulous.
They weren't the only ones behaving the same way. While Fū Uchiha was running through the clan grounds with Tsukina Fujiwara, the Konoha Military Police Force happened to run into them.
"Yo, Elder Feng, you're back?" A squad leader from the Konoha Military Police Force greeted him with a smile. However, he had barely finished speaking when he saw Tsukina Fujiwara holding Fū Uchiha's hand, and then he rubbed his eyes.
Fū Uchiha raised Tsukina Fujiwara's hand and said, "Yes, I'm back. I'm back to introduce you to something. This is my fiancée. I'm back to marry her."
The Uchiha squad leader's eyes widened. "You're getting married? Didn't you say you weren't interested in women? You're actually getting married? Has this iron tree finally blossomed?"
Fū Uchiha said with displeasure, "Stop teasing me. You're married now, aren't you? I can't stay single forever... although I really am."
Before Fū Uchiha could finish speaking, he felt his hand being pinched hard, so he quickly shut his mouth.
Those who knew Fū Uchiha Fū Uchiha were so shocked because he was known within the clan for his aversion to women.
Fū Uchiha was handsome and powerful, making him very popular within the Uchiha Clan. However... he seemed completely oblivious to everything; no matter how much others hinted or even explicitly stated their Fū Uchiha, he simply didn't understand.
It's worth noting that even among the Uchiha, the average age of marriage is 14, but Fū Uchiha is still unmarried at 18, and has even stated that he has no interest in women.
It's safe to say that Fū Uchiha was a notorious bachelor within the clan, so how could everyone not be shocked that this bachelor has finally found love?
