The next morning.
The Uchiha Clan Leader and his family of four were sitting at the dining table.
"Shin, listen carefully. You'll encounter all sorts of people at the Ninja Academy, and you don't need to pay attention to their gazes..."
"The strength of Taijutsu doesn't matter at all. What's most important for the Uchiha Clan is Illusion Arts and Ninjutsu. Once you awaken the Sharingan, your achievements might not be any less than other ninjas..."
At the head of the table, a dignified man was lecturing Shin, who was sitting to his left and looked half-asleep.
The man was the current leader of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Chiken.
This pep talk for the soon-to-be-enrolled transmigrator had been going on for over half an hour.
Fugaku was sitting next to Shin at the table, listening intently to his father's speech.
He occasionally nodded slowly, creating a stark contrast to Shin, who looked like he would collapse onto the table any second.
"Thud!"
Shin's head finally gave way, falling onto the table with a thud.
The sound also interrupted Chiken, who was in the middle of his concluding remarks.
"Ah! Father, you're finally done!" Shin immediately raised his head, less than a second after collapsing onto the table.
Clearly, he had been practicing for a long time to react so quickly.
Chiken looked stiffly at the young woman on his right.
The woman had delicate and pretty features, looking like she was in her twenties.
She had just gotten up and hurriedly came to Shin's side, bending down to gently rub his slightly red forehead.
"You silly boy, why are you so careless? Does it hurt?" she asked Shin gently.
The young woman was the biological mother of the Uchiha brothers, Chiken's wife, Uchiha Aoko.
It was easy to see from her appearance that Fugaku resembled his father, while Shin resembled his mother.
"Aoko, bring up breakfast," Chiken's mouth twitched slightly before he instructed his wife.
Then, he turned his gaze to Shin.
That familiar innocent expression was indeed the reaction a five-year-old child should have.
He had no choice but to shift his gaze to the right, nodding slightly to himself as he saw Fugaku's serious and earnest demeanor.
"Fugaku is indeed more like me... As for Shin, his lively personality is exactly like Aoko when I first met her..."
That was how Chiken summarized the personalities of his two sons in his heart.
Aoko's personality before marriage could be described as fiery.
He didn't know how many rivals he had defeated to win her heart.
More than a decade of marriage had filled Chiken with trust in his wife; Shin was his biological son.
Although his personality wasn't like his own, he still loved this quirky child.
"Although Shin is a bit of a free spirit, some of his ideas are quite good..."
"'General Mechanics,' huh? I didn't expect it to be so helpful with shuriken techniques. It's just that I can't understand 'Solid Mechanics' and 'Fluid Mechanics' at all..."
Chiken stopped his thoughts when he saw Aoko placing breakfast on the table.
He still had a lot of say in the family.
Mainly because Aoko had changed her personality after marriage, becoming gentle and virtuous.
Except for being more concerned about Shin, she generally listened to his instructions.
Chiken felt a chill down his spine from Aoko's smiling expression.
Because of this, he had no choice but to temporarily put aside his dissatisfaction with his youngest son, "Let's eat breakfast."
As he picked up his chopsticks and started eating, Shin couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Big families really have a lot of rules... Five years, do you know how I've spent these five years? I've been playing 'Greedy B...'"
He began to recall famous jokes from his previous life, but his movements as he ate breakfast were not slow at all.
Most people's brains are "single-threaded," while a few can do two or more things at the same time.
But Shin, relying on the processor in his brain, could achieve "multi-threading" or even "hyper-threading."
That is, he could do more than two things at the same time and still ensure that he wouldn't make any mistakes.
As long as his brain's computing power wasn't fully loaded, he could multitask in his mind or do other things with his body.
This also meant that as long as his limbs, fingers, and even every muscle in his body could keep up, he could perform many "inhuman" operations.
"This cheat is really useless; it's just a built-in Shadow Clone Technique... Even if I learn Shadow Clone, wouldn't that just mean learning Multiple Shadow Clone Technique..."
In Shin's mind, the power of the Shadow Clone Technique and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique wasn't for combat, but for learning.
At the moment the Shadow Clone dispels, the memories of the clone during that time would return to the original body. To explain the principle in the words of a certain transmigrator, it was unscientific and mystical.
"If I had a thousand Shadow Clones, then my brain would be a 'supercomputer'? This... doesn't seem so useless..."
Unfortunately, Shin knew that without a Tailed Beast providing massive Chakra and only possessing the Uchiha bloodline, it would be impossible to realize this grand ambition in this lifetime.
If he were to possess a certain cell in the future, perhaps he could achieve it.
"I'm off to register, Father."
Having finished his breakfast, Shin wanted to head to the Ninja Academy early to check things out.
Without waiting for a reply from his family, he hurriedly got up and headed out of the house.
"Shin, be careful on the way."
Aoko winked at him as she spoke.
It was probably her way of saying, "Leave your father to me, don't worry."
"Got it, Mother." Shin turned back and saw her winking, and his pace naturally quickened.
Chiken saw Aoko looking at him with "kind" eyes, and his mood suddenly became as uncomfortable as Fugaku's last night.
He turned his gaze to his eldest son, who was also putting down his chopsticks.
"I'm done eating too, Father, Mother..."
Fugaku noticed his father's gaze on him, excused himself to his parents, and fled back to his room.
What? Why doesn't Fugaku have to go to school?
Well, Fugaku is five years older than Shin and graduated a few months ago.
Members of the Uchiha Clan generally don't take on ninja missions from the village.
This is due to the task assigned to the Uchiha Military Police Force by the Second Hokage.
Therefore, the current Uchiha in Konoha is like a "village within a village."
"You spoil Shin too much, Aoko."
Chiken expressed his dissatisfaction as the head of the family towards Aoko, who had always doted on Shin since he was a child.
That's right, the Uchiha Clan Leader is this "humble" when alone with his wife.
"My poor Shin, he's been weak since he was a child..."
"You woke him up so early today and lectured him for so long..."
"Look, he even bumped his head on the table just now..." As Aoko spoke, her eyes filled with a layer of mist, and her voice even had a hint of a sob.
Chiken's head started to ache at the sight of this. Just as he was about to say something, he was immediately forced back by a look from her.
"So don't push the child too hard with his studies. I just want him to live happily."
After making her request, Aoko waited for his response with a pitiful look.
What else could our humble Uchiha Clan Leader do?
If he didn't agree, would he be able to live in peace in the future?
Chiken immediately stated that he wasn't afraid of his wife, but rather filled with love for her.
At the same time, he issued a declaration to the ninja world, daring anyone to challenge him.
"Aoko, I'm going to the clan grounds first!" After saying that, Chiken quickly fled, just like Fugaku had done earlier.
However, the moment he turned around.
The expression on Aoko's face immediately returned to normal.
There was even a hint of smugness on the corner of her lips, as if her scheme had succeeded.
Chiken probably couldn't imagine that his wife was acting just now, could he?
One can imagine how difficult Aoko was before their marriage.
Her title as a movie queen is truly well-deserved.
In this family, only a certain transmigrator can keep up with her thinking.
Therefore, in Shin's eyes.
His father and brother are both big "honest people."
He also believes that his transmigration came at just the right time to balance the daily power struggles in this family.
On the other side, Shin was walking towards the outside of the clan grounds.
In the Uchiha Clan grounds in the morning, there were already many people moving about.
Most of them were Uchiha Clan members such as Military Police Force personnel, merchants, and those taking a morning stroll.
Outsiders wouldn't come in here unless they had something to do.
"Shin, you're up so early today. Are you going to the Ninja Academy?"
Shin stopped and looked to the side.
Outside the Uchiha ninja tool shop stood a young man wearing a beige vest and black trousers.
He was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"It's Teshiro, yeah. Yes, I'm starting at the Ninja Academy today," he replied to the young man in front of him.
Within the Uchiha Clan, not everyone has the talent to become a ninja.
Uchiha Teshiro, standing before Shin, was one of those.
Although Teshiro couldn't become a ninja, he didn't harbor any dissatisfaction.
He believed that even if he couldn't be a ninja, his life could still be wonderful.
Teshiro's dream was to open his own general store.
As for the present, he was working at the clan's ninja tool shop.
It was because of his attitude that Shin had always been quite fond of him.
A certain transmigrator would like to state that it's not because he saw middle-aged Teshiro being very kind to his little nephew in the anime that he has this impression.
"Relying on one's own labor to strive to achieve one's dreams, such a person is worthy of respect..." perhaps that was the true thought of a certain transmigrator.
"Teshiro, I'll be going now."
After exchanging greetings, Shin continued on his way to the Ninja Academy, located not far outside the Uchiha Clan grounds.
"Ninja Academy, how wonderful!"
Teshiro watched Shin gradually disappear into the rising sunlight, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I need to work hard today too!"
With that, he turned and walked into the store, beginning to work hard for his dream.
