I, Uchiha Shin, Am Back!

Just as the Uchiha Clan Head's family was fiercely discussing Shin's reenrollment—

The Third Hokage was also chatting idly with Haru in his office.

"Haru, that child named Uchiha Shin will be returning to school tomorrow. What do you think?"

"I suggest reinforcing the buildings and land around the school." Haru replied without a trace of emotion.

"..." The Third Hokage was speechless.

Seeing that he did not respond, Haru continued, "I am merely evaluating things based on his performance that day. If he knows Fire Release, then I also recommend implementing fire-prevention measures in the surrounding area."

"I only asked for your opinion of that child. Why do you think he will definitely cause trouble at school?"

The Third Hokage clearly did not believe Haru's exaggerated assessment. "He's just a child—a five-year-old child. Could he really set the school on fire?"

"Anbu should never influence the Hokage's judgment. That is what you taught us. I merely inferred the possibility of such an event based on the intelligence currently available..."

"Whether you accept it or not will not affect my judgment." Haru's tone remained unchanged.

"..."

Haru had given the Third Hokage such a headache that he could barely breathe.

If he had a few more conversations like this, wouldn't anyone become depressed?

He felt that he should never have sent Elephant out in the first place.

The Third Hokage, who could only endure for a few months, felt it was truly a shame that there was no medicine for regret in the ninja world.

Eh? If he truly endured it, wouldn't that make him a "Ninja Hero"?

It was a genuine double meaning, both literal and figurative.

Early morning, at the Uchiha Clan Head's home.

"The sun shines brightly overhead, the flowers smile at me, the little birds say good morning, good morning, why are you carrying explosives on your back... Ahem, carrying a little schoolbag..."

Early in the morning, a certain transmigrator's singing echoed throughout the entire house.

Inside the Uchiha couple's room.

After being awakened by the noise, Chiken and Aoko looked at each other groggily.

"What is that brat singing so early in the morning?"

Chiken was miserable. He had only been asleep for a short while before this noise woke him up.

"Ah-ha..." Aoko yawned and rubbed her eyes.

"The sun shines brightly overhead, the flowers smile at me, the little birds say good morning, good morning, why are you carrying a pack of explosives..."

Shin ran onto the roof. Seeing that no one responded, he altered the lyrics and sang loudly again. "I'm going to blow up the school, the teacher doesn't know, I'll set the bombs and run away, then boom—the school is gone!"

"!!!" x2

The Uchiha couple was stunned.

Chiken shot upright in fury, threw on his coat, and rushed outside before he even had time to put on his shoes.

"Then boom—the school is gone!"

Feeling that repeating a single verse was not exciting enough, Shin stood on the roof with a homemade megaphone, continuously assaulting the ears of the surrounding Uchiha clansmen.

It was really just a stack of old newspapers rolled into a megaphone.

Combined with Shin's childish voice and booming lungs, it was simply a Konoha spectacle.

Probably no one within a hundred meters could escape it.

"You brat, what are you doing so early in the morning?!" Chiken roared furiously toward the roof.

Seeing his old man in such a state, Shin could not help but laugh inwardly.

He raised the megaphone high and continued singing toward the sky. "The sun shines brightly overhead..."

"..." x2

When Aoko and Fugaku came out, they saw Chiken chasing the culprit all over the roof.

The two of them became even more determined to send him to school.

Otherwise, the Uchiha Clan's peaceful days would be over.

"Hahahahaha! You can't catch me! La la la la la la la la la la!" Shin, swollen with arrogance, made his entrance once more.

And his appearance once again raised his old man's anger limit.

"You brat, stand still!"

"Old man, then stop chasing me if you've got the guts!"

That day, the Uchiha clansmen recalled the fear of being dominated by this father-and-son duo.

As for the final result of this father-son showdown, Chiken caught Shin and gave him a fierce scolding.

Could a five-year-old really outrun an adult otherwise?

If that happened, it would either be extraordinary talent or a physical mutation.

A cheat ability was not that outrageously powerful.

At seven thirty in the morning, Shin stood before the Ninja Academy gates, feeling deeply moved.

The failure of Plan A had been within his expectations.

His goal had been to numb his family, to let them all "rest assured" and send him to school.

"I already sang out Plan B. When the village comes looking for trouble, I'll make the old man deal with them..."

"After going back and forth a few times, the Uchiha Clan should become quite familiar with the village, right..."

As he walked into the school, he continued searching through his mind for flaws in his plan.

Shin had not actually meant to act this mischievously.

Ever since he had slapped the Shopping Street that was scheduled for redevelopment out of existence, he had discovered that this world was rather tolerant of children.

Or rather, it was due to the Third Hokage's policies.

After all, all the dark history had been shouldered by King of Pots Danzo.

His current public image was extremely positive.

Even the Winter Swimming Monster Pigeon of the Rising Sun would call him a true expert.

Director Shin walked through the school, completely ignoring the students pointing and whispering around him.

Only when he occasionally heard certain unspeakable things did he quicken his pace.

Bang! Shin kicked open the classroom door.

This time, Elemental Chakra Mode covered his feet, so at least it did not hurt anymore.

The classroom instantly fell silent.

As the students watched Shin kick the door open and enter, they seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by him on the first day of school.

"I, Uchiha Shin, am back!" he formally announced his return to campus from the podium.

Nao was still seated in the first seat of the front row.

After Shin entered, the corners of her lips curved slightly despite her eternally icy expression.

"Then, as promised..." Shin swept his gaze around the classroom before domineeringly declaring, "From today onward, this school answers to me!"

"..."

The students were so stunned by his words that they could not speak.

They all felt that the person before them was either an idiot or insane.

Was he joking? The principal's office was in the building next door.

Was he really not afraid of being overheard and properly taught a lesson?

"Who disagrees?"

"I do. I challenge you to a duel!" Nao swiftly stood up.

With a hint of excitement in her voice, she immediately issued the challenge.

The students in the classroom were all dumbfounded.

Shin only felt his stomach ache.

He had initially thought that without Nawaki around, things would be able to follow the script properly no matter what.

Who could have expected an icy little girl to suddenly emerge?

He felt that if he dared do anything to the Hyuga Clan's little princess, the Hyuga Clan would probably dare storm the Uchiha Clan tomorrow.

At that point, even the Sage of Six Paths would not be able to save him.

"I, Shin, have never bullied girls." Shin still wore an arrogant expression.

But inwardly, he was already panicking. Please, miss, could you go find that idiot Nawaki instead? He's sturdy and can take a beating...

Nao planted her hands on her hips, her delicate little face puffing up in anger at those words. "No!"

Her answer made Shin regret it to death.

Why did he have to add such a clichéd line for no reason?

Adding extra scenes had only added trouble.

Movies were fine to watch, but if he truly acted like they did in real life, what awaited him would be a brutal beating from society.

"I, Uchiha Shin, have always kept my word, but fighting and killing with a little girl would look bad." Shin's tone softened.

He no longer had the overbearing arrogance from before.

Nao was clearly provoked by the words "little girl."

Chakra flowed toward her eyes. As her Byakugan activated, veins instantly bulged at the corners of her eyes.

Nao's imposing aura surged as she taunted, "Uchiha Shin, are you even a man? Or do you look down on a duel invitation from the Hyuga Clan?"

Well, damn! Nao's words had shoved Shin straight onto the fire.

The situation now was that whether he accepted or refused, the Hyuga Clan would come looking for trouble with the Uchiha Clan.
