Riding the tiger, Uchiha Shin desperately wanted to deny everything, but he couldn't!
Look what happened last time Nawaki spoke? He got labeled a bad kid who likes boys. And the time before that, if Shin said something, Nawaki would end up with a crush on him.
Huh? Thinking about it that way, are the negative effects targeted at Nawaki?
But Shin wouldn't dare experiment on himself. He didn't think that little ice princess was the type to reason with.
"Women are unreasonable!"
He had always kept that age-old saying firmly in his heart. As for whether men are... cough, Shin didn't even dare to think about anything that could lead to a five-year sentence.
"What? Are you afraid of losing to a girl?" Nao provoked him again, seeing his silence.
This troublemaker, who had repeatedly stirred up trouble, was finally being stirred up by someone else.
If Nawaki and the Uchiha clan head found out about this, they would definitely be moved to tears and shout for more.
"Why does not wanting to hit a girl mean I'm afraid? If everyone challenged me to a duel like you, what would I become? I'm not your test tool," Shin said, seeing through Nao's thoughts.
The little ice princess clenched her fists in frustration. She knew that being tough wouldn't work. Being soft? She declared that was impossible in this lifetime.
She couldn't understand why this person was so eloquent. Here she was, a girl going to great lengths to invite him to a duel, and he still refused. Where was his chivalry?
(Uchiha Shin: Sorry, chivalry doesn't exist in my dictionary.)
"..."
"What's wrong? Lost for words?" Shin asked again, seeing her speechless. He decided to properly educate this little ice princess in front of him.
"I can promise you that I won't challenge you to a duel for a year!" Nao's answer was unexpected.
I wouldn't agree even if you promised! Shin thought to himself.
But if he really said that, he would be going head-to-head with her. Maybe one day in the future, he would be kidnapped and bagged by the Hyuga Clan's strong men.
Thinking of this, Shin couldn't help but feel troubled. If he agreed, he would be in trouble with the Hyuga Clan. If he didn't agree, he wouldn't be a man and would still get bagged.
Moreover, with a competitive clan like the Hyuga, things would go wrong regardless of winning or losing.
"Okay, I agree!" Shin declared. Although he wasn't acting like a human, he still had to act like a man.
As for the Hyuga Clan's trouble? His old man wouldn't just sit back and watch, would he?
The Uchiha Clan was known for being protective. Look at how Itachi arranged everything for Sasuke before his death when Orochimaru targeted him. When Sarada was in trouble, Sasuke ran to help.
He didn't believe that this inherited protectiveness was passed down by Fugaku.
Nao nodded and left her seat, getting into position facing Shin.
In an instant, the onlookers in the classroom trembled and hid in the corners.
Nonsense? As extras, they might not be good at anything else, but they definitely had the necessary skills to read the room. If they weren't careful, the director would arrange for them to be taken out.
But there were also those who weren't afraid of death, such as the iron-clad Ino-Shika-Cho and a certain Aburame Clan kid with a consistently low profile. They all gathered in the front row to watch.
Facing the charging little ice princess, Shin calmly mobilized lightning Chakra in his legs. Then, he raised a finger and gently beckoned at her.
Nao's Byakugan were filled with solemnity. She could see the dense Chakra in his legs.
A genius? To be able to inject Chakra so evenly into his cells, he truly deserves the title of genius. But I'm not worse than you! Nao had long been determined to defeat Shin, so she launched an attack.
"Whoosh..."
Unfortunately, her fist only hit the afterimage created by his rapid movement.
Having been paying attention to her, she could see through her Byakugan that a small black figure was standing behind her.
"Don't underestimate the Byakugan. I know your position like the back of my hand!" Nao said, using the momentum of her turn to kick at him.
"Whoosh..."
The attack missed again.
"Even if you can see me, can you keep up with my speed?" Shin said harshly.
But inside, he was far from calm.
Just now, Nao had almost touched the hem of his Uchiha coat.
Nao noticed that his speed had increased.
Now, her Byakugan could barely keep up with his speed, but her body's reaction was already struggling to keep up.
In the eyes of the audience, Shin kept disappearing and reappearing with a flash of white lightning, while Nao was always just a little bit short of being able to attack him.
Only a few people could barely see this dazzling attack clearly. They all thought that these two probably already had the strength of a Chunin.
"Uchiha Shin, do you dare not dodge?"
Nao felt like she was being led around by the nose like a puppy.
She stopped attacking, her chest heaving up and down, and fine beads of sweat dripped from her pretty face onto the classroom floor.
Shin didn't say a word, quickly injecting fire Chakra into his right hand and throwing a punch at Nao.
"Boom!"
Nao narrowly avoided this lightning-fast strike in a hurry.
In her Byakugan, she saw the Chakra in her opponent's right hand explode the instant before it made contact.
Then, the force of that fist detonated the air in its path.
Next, she realized that everything within the straight-line distance of his fist was being pierced through.
Ino-Shika-Cho and the other front-row spectators immediately got up and moved to the back, their moods quite complex, as they had originally thought they were in for a good show.
Could the difference between people really be this vast?
Spending five years with these two, their confidence would be utterly crushed, wouldn't it?
"Huff... huff..." Nao's delicate body rose and fell rapidly as she evaded the attack.
Her white kimono was soaked with dense beads of sweat on the back.
It was unclear whether it was due to physical exertion or the shock of the attack.
Uchiha Shin, who had thrown the punch, slowly retracted his fist: "I'm still a man, right?"
"I see, you really are petty," Nao said, seemingly forgetting what had just happened, her rosy lips curving slightly upward.
"Likewise, little Ice Queen."
When it came to literary skills, this transmigrator, deeply influenced by the five thousand years of historical heritage of an ancient country, feared no one.
But his emotional intelligence wasn't as low as the Senju young master.
If it were Nawaki, he might have said something like, "Give up, you're no match for me!"
If that happened, the Konoha Daily would have another big news story to report tomorrow.
"What Ice Queen?"
Seeing that Shin wasn't going to attack again, Nao relaxed and started chatting with him, seizing the opportunity to recover her stamina.
"It's just that you don't smile much..." Shin saw through her intentions but still gave an answer: "You always look so cold."
Shin, who had been moving vigorously up, down, left, and right, expressed that he was very tired.
He wanted to rest properly before having another exhilarating battle.
Time passed in this back-and-forth chatting until it reached 8 o'clock.
Nishinodera entered and saw the two people on the stage chatting idly.
"Can someone tell me what's going on here?" Nishinodera asked, utterly bewildered as he looked at the three rows of desks that had been pierced straight through.
"Teacher, we were exchanging pointers, it's just that I'm strong and broke the desks."
After saying that, Shin turned his back to Nishinodera and flashed a big smile at the students below the stage: "Right? My good classmates?"
Right your ass, if we say no, won't we be in trouble in the future?
The students all nodded in agreement with what Shin said, especially the chubby Heiji, who spoke with unwavering conviction.
