DJ Shin

After a week that had filled the Uchiha Clan Head's family with boundless joy.

Uchiha Commercial Street in Konoha Village finally officially opened today.

At this moment, more than thirty percent of Konoha's residents had gathered at the venue.

"Today is February 14th, Year 26 of Konoha. Good morning, esteemed guests..."

Chiken wore a black suit beneath a black overcoat.

Holding a microphone, he stood on the stage at the entrance to the Shopping Street and loudly announced, "The opening ceremony for Uchiha Commercial Street officially begins now!"

"Next, please enjoy the opening performance..."

"Let's welcome our young DJ Shin with a round of applause!"

Chiken was in an exceptionally good mood today, so he let his brat do whatever he pleased.

Though he had no idea what a DJ or disc scratching even was.

"Yo, yo, yo~ Good morning, everyone. Please wait a moment while our staff carries the speakers onto the stage."

For once, Shin had traded out his inherited trench coat for a baggy outfit.

The sunglasses on his face and the thick gold chain around his neck left the audience below completely dumbfounded.

"What the heck is Shin doing?" Nao complained about the trendy outfit from the VIP seats below the stage.

Meitoku, seated beside her, gave a sharp assessment. "He definitely isn't up to anything good."

He still held a grudge against that Uchiha brat who had plastered paste all over his face.

Hiashi pointed at the dozens of black metal lumps being carried onto the stage and asked, "What are those?"

After thinking carefully, Nao said, "I think they're called subwoofers. Shin said music played through them can make people feel energized."

"..." Everyone seated with the Hyuga Clan was speechless.

Meanwhile, in the Senju Clan seating area.

With his right arm hanging in a sling against his chest, Nawaki disdainfully assessed the Shopping Street. "Sis, I'm telling you, this place will go bankrupt within half a year. Can this work without the Senju Clan involved?"

"Mm-hmm. I saw on the flyers that there's a casino. Tonight, I'll gamble this whole street into bankruptcy!" Tsunade was extremely interested in gambling.

But according to Shin, that casino had been built specifically for Konoha's fat sheep.

"Go, Sis! I can already picture Uchiha Shin begging around the village after the Shopping Street goes bankrupt~"

Leaving aside the image in Nawaki's mind.

With the staff's help, Shin finished connecting the equipment and returned to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's begin the countdown!"

The backdrop on the stage changed, and a huge cross appeared.

The entire wall was a massive sheet of projection glass.

If the Uchiha Clan had not been so wealthy, they could never have let Shin use something like that to play with at an opening ceremony.

"Ten!"

Only a sparse few people in the audience shouted along.

"Nine!"

The shills hired at great expense by the Uchiha Clan began shouting loudly.

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

"Six!"

By the time they reached six, quite a few audience members had begun cheering along.

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

The Third Hokage also began shouting at the top of his lungs.

The atmosphere at the venue was completely ignited.

"Two!"

"One!"

"Boom!!"

After a thunderous blast, colorful fireworks continuously rained down from the sky.

"Yo... Hello, everyone. I'm your DJ, Uchiha Shin. Peace!"

Shin held a microphone in his left hand while raising his right, extending his thumb, index finger, and pinky in a peace sign.

Though the audience had no idea what it meant, that did nothing to dampen the fiery atmosphere.

"Scratch, scratch..."

The sound of discs scraping rang out. Before the audience had time to react, Shin's rhythmic words followed the music.

"Hello, my little babies. I've got a surprise for you. Please put your hands up~"

The piercing music played as people still stood motionless.

Then Shin's voice seemed to turn into someone else's, speaking in a childish tone. "Yes, I'm Uchiha Shin. We've met before."

Then, as the rhythm sped up, that childish voice appeared again. "Oh, that's amazing!"

Shin lightly twisted a knob on the console with his free right hand.

As the rhythm became even more lively, he began working the controls. "This is grown-up music, you know~"

"Dun dun-dun dun dun-dun dun dun-dun dun..."

A rather oppressive rhythm spread outward from the Shopping Street.

The shills mixed into the crowd began their respective performances as well.

"What are you standing around for? Get hyped!"

"La la la~ Long live DJ Shin!"

"Go! Give it your all!"

"My forty-meter blade can't stay hidden anymore!"

"Come on, let's have some fun..."

The shills' professional performance made the Third Hokage, seated in the premium section, exclaim in astonishment.

He even firmly remembered several particularly unfiltered people.

He looked around and found that the normally stiff and serious higher-ups and clan heads had all raised their hands and begun swaying with the rhythm.

"As Hokage, I cannot act like this..." The Third Hokage was quite confident in his self-control.

But the next second, he was utterly stunned as a group of burly men in black suits and sunglasses suddenly leaped onto the stage.

"Three, two, one, start!"

At DJ Shin's words, the large group of suited men onstage lined up in a row and stomped their feet to the rhythm.

Their heads also bobbed up and down continuously with the music.

The lightning emblem displayed on the screen behind the stage bounced back and forth in time with the beat.

Nao's lips twitched below the stage.

Because just moments ago, her eldest brother Hiashi had actually raised his hands and started swaying.

Most importantly, still unsatisfied, he grabbed Nao's and Hizashi's hands on either side of him and swung them together.

"Let's follow the music and party until dawn..."

"Answer me loudly, who am I?"

"Uchiha Shin!"

After introducing himself, Shin pressed the switch for the subwoofers.

In that instant, the atmosphere at the venue completely exploded.

The pounding bass followed the previous rhythm, striking the audience below like blows to their hearts.

"Ahhh... I can't take it anymore!"

In the Akimichi family's area, the chubby Heiji stood up and heavily stomped the ground over and over like the suited men onstage.

"No! I can't take it anymore either~"

More and more audience members rose to their feet, lightly stepping in rhythm.

Spurred on by the shills' energy, they could all feel the restlessness surging through their bodies.

Seeing the venue begin to party wildly, Shin at the console felt that his money had not been wasted.

As he controlled the musical beat, it was as though he could control the audience's emotional highs and lows.

As a transmigrator, he consciously led Konoha into a new wave of trends.

With electronic music and expensive shills, if he still could not get people fired up, that would truly have been a failure.

In the Senju Clan's seating area below the stage.

Nawaki began stomping along as well.

"What the heck is this? I can't control my feet..."

"What did you say, Nawaki? I can't hear you!"

Even Tsunade had begun partying along with the music.

"Forget it, don't overthink it..."

Nawaki relaxed and joined the crowd in their revelry.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Shin eased the music into a gentler rhythm.

"Konoha~ Konoha~"

More than a dozen massive speakers broadcast the two words Shin kept shouting over and over.

Upon hearing the name of their proud village, the audience below all raised their voices and joined in.

"Konoha! Konoha!" The Third Hokage no longer cared about his status.

Leading the higher-ups, he began shouting himself hoarse.

He swung his Hokage hat with one hand and gave an enormous thumbs-up with the other.

There was none of his usual approachable demeanor left.

DJ Shin at the console keenly noticed this and picked up the microphone to direct the audience below. "Next, let's jump in place!"

Shin turned the volume to maximum.

After pressing the switch, he began bouncing in place atop the console together with the suited men.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

Accompanied by the heavy drumbeats, the audience enthusiastically began dancing.
