Mischievous Little Iceberg

The next morning at the Uchiha clan head's residence.

The family of four was eating breakfast while looking at the newspaper.

"The wind is quite boisterous today..."

Shin finished reading the Konoha Daily and couldn't help but sigh.

"Old man, seems like you're not very effective in the regulatory department..."

He glanced sideways. "The newspaper is practically painting me as charcoal. I told you to spend a little money and buy this lousy news agency..."

"Look, now they don't even give face to the village's richest man."

Chiken looked utterly hopeless after hearing the complaint.

How could he have imagined that these newspaper sellers would dare to risk offending him by publishing such grossly untrue rumors?

"Old man, I think we Uchihas should start our own newspaper..." A smile gradually spread across Shin's face. "The village's lousy news agency definitely can't beat us."

"You think it's that simple, brat? Where are you going to get so much news every day?"

Shin wasn't discouraged by Chiken's opposition. "We can commission articles. Doesn't the Hokage have a disciple who's always thinking about publishing a book?"

"We can pay him some royalties and buy the exclusive rights to his serializations!"

"How much can he write alone? Most people in the village aren't interested in that kind of writing."

Chiken knew about the Third Hokage's famous disciple.

That guy was bold enough to sneak into the Konoha bathhouse to peep at girls when he was Shin's age.

The stuff he wrote would definitely be something that decent people wouldn't read, but indecent people would love.

But where would Konoha find so many indecent people?

"I'll write it. I guarantee they'll be crying and begging to buy the newspaper." Shin's confident tone startled the three people at the table.

"Shin, you can write novels? What kind?" Aoko was very concerned about this.

What if her child was as indecent as that guy?

"Mother, I'll write whatever kind you want to read."

Fugaku became interested. "Really? Do you have anything with a strong epic feel?"

Shin put his hands on his hips, looked up to the sky, and laughed loudly. "Wahahaha... Of course! I, Uchiha Shin, am a jack-of-all-trades!"

"Alright, write a draft first and let us see." Chiken had made up his mind.

In his heart, although his child was usually unreliable, he was quite serious about the suggestions he made.

"Old man, I guarantee that if I give you the draft, you'll be chasing me down the street to keep writing."

"I'll wait and see."

Shin knew that his old man definitely didn't believe he could be attracted to a novel he wrote.

As a transmigrator, how could he not be a plagiarist?

His golden finger, the "hard drive," stored all his memories from his previous life.

Including the novels he had read, the movies... ahem, the great movies!

Even the various washing machines and microwave ovens he had tinkered with were derived from extracting principles from them and slowly simulating them.

Soon after, at the Ninja Academy.

"Did you hear? That young master of the Senju got beaten up badly by the Uchiha second young master. He'll be bedridden for at least three months."

"I heard, I heard. What's wrong with that Uchiha? It's just making friends, does he have to beat him up like that?"

"You don't understand. The Uchiha and Senju have been enemies for thousands of years..."

"Making friends? Why not just get rid of him!"

"Oh, right, I also heard that the Hyuga Clan's little princess was there at the time."

"A love triangle, perhaps?"

"How exciting!"

"Yeah, yeah, what do you think will happen to these three in the end?"

"What's wrong? Why are you all silent?"

Shin had just arrived at school with Nao and his little head was immediately filled with black lines upon hearing the students' discussion.

He patted the shoulder of the classmate who had asked the question earlier, who was still unaware.

"U... Uchiha... Shin..."

"What's wrong? Didn't you want to ask what the development of the three of us would be?

Red eyes lit up: "I can now answer your questions."

"No, no... I'm leaving..."

Stared at by those kind eyes, the student scurried away.

Shin didn't plan to pursue the matter.

With so many students at the Ninja Academy, was he supposed to beat up every single one of them?

It would be exhausting, alright.

Regarding rumors, every qualified Uchiha believed in letting the dust settle first.

"Nao, do you think my reputation will allow me to stay at the school? Maybe we should..."

"No! Absolutely not! There's no way!"

Nao swiftly rejected Shin's suggestion with a triple denial.

She had gradually figured out his routine for causing trouble.

First, he would portray himself as the victim, then logically twist the concept.

Then, he could gleefully stir up trouble.

"Tch, Nao is such a scaredy-cat. We burned down the school together last time, so why did I take the blame?"

Nao offered no comment, giving him a pair of beautiful "Byakugan within Byakugan" glares.

Shin immediately retreated, wearing a bitter expression as he slowly walked into the classroom.

The chubby Heiji had very sharp eyes.

Seeing him enter the classroom, he immediately stood up and bowed ninety degrees, shouting, "Big Brother Shin, good morning!"

"???" Shin's mind was collapsing at this moment.

He suspected that this "little brother" had been hit by a Mind Control.

While he was brainstorming, the atmosphere was incredibly strange.

Nao sensed something was wrong. Turning to look at Shin, whose eyes were unfocused, she immediately knew what mischief he was plotting again.

She immediately raised her elbow and nudged Shin's ribs.

"Ah! Ah? Ah..."

Three consecutive "ahs" perfectly expressed the three different stages: pain, questioning, and realization.

"Sister-in-law Nao, good morning too!"

"!!!"

"Little fatty, I'm warning you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" Shin threatened Heiji in time to prevent Nao from exploding.

But then he thought about it, and something seemed off.

"???" The entire class was defeated by this illogical statement.

Heiji, however, had an expression of understanding: "Big Brother is indeed Big Brother, his level of speaking is just so high!"

"I, Akimichi Heiji, will remember these words forever!"

"No... no, I just now..."

"Big Brother Shin, please accept my snacks!"

Shin was slightly frightened by the total amount of snacks being pushed into his arms.

He blankly accepted them before realizing that he hadn't had a chance to say the three words "I misspoke."

Nao, on the other hand, smiled as she looked at him: "Our little genius Uchiha Shin, your words are truly on another level~"

"..."

Heavens and earth, Nao, with her ice-cold demeanor, actually said something so playful.

Shin, the culprit, was completely unaware and lamented the decline of morals and the changing hearts of people.

"Ring ring..."

A short ringing sound came.

Shin looked at the clock in the classroom and realized it was already 8 o'clock.

He wanted to say something to clear his name, but Nao pulled on his sleeve and dragged him to the front row seats in the classroom.

"Nao, I just now..."

"I know, you were serious just now. You don't need to explain, I understand everything."

Shin, whose words were interrupted again, was really starting to doubt his life.

Had the little ice mountain become playful? Who corrupted her?

"Damn it! Even the Sage of the Six Paths couldn't keep you in check! I'm telling you!"

Shin, who made this decision in his heart, really didn't have the slightest clue about the relationship between A and C.
