Quit what? Of course, quit school.

This transmigrator was already acting with his life on the line, so how could he give up now?

With a firm tone, Shin made his request: "Mother, I want to drop out!"

"You little rascal, dare to say that again?"

Before Aoko could react, she saw Chiken grab Shin by the collar and lift him up.

"Aoko, go get me the stick!" Chiken said, winking subtly.

Years of cooperation had made them a perfectly synchronized couple.

Aoko quickly "took" Shin from Chiken's hands.

And began to persuade him earnestly: "You can't hit him! What if this child runs away from home? The whole of Konoha would laugh at us..."

"If he doesn't want to go, then he doesn't have to. Even if he becomes a good-for-nothing second-generation heir, I, as his mother, will accept it."

Chiken understood Aoko's subtext: be careful that this kid doesn't run away from home.

Shin also understood the subtext.

But in this situation, he had to argue his case.

A great spiritual leader once said: "Persistence is victory, keep going! Oly..."

Ahem, saying any more would sound weird.

"Father, I haven't trained in Taijutsu anyway. It's better to be a useless person than to get beaten up at school," Shin said, playing dumb.

"He's playing that card? This kid is getting smarter..."

Aoko praised him inwardly for less than a second before winking at Chiken, wanting him to play the bad cop.

Chiken understood.

He warned with a serious expression: "I don't care if you become a useless person or not, but a man must keep his word..."

"When you wanted to go to the Ninja Academy, you said you would, and you did. Now you want to drop out, but you can't do what you say!"

Shin silently complained in his heart: "Damn it, he's even using freestyle, is he going to add a Skr next?..."

But he quickly retorted: "I didn't know any better back then. I wanted to go, so I went. Now my reputation is ruined, so I can't go even if I want to! Skr..."

The Uchiha couple was stunned. What reputation? What Skr?

Fugaku, who was quietly watching the show, said that although he understood every word they were saying, he didn't understand why they didn't make sense together.

Could it be that he was really adopted?

How could he be the only one in the family of four who didn't understand?

Fugaku couldn't figure it out.

Chiken couldn't imagine what outrageous things his youngest son had done.

So he stepped forward and questioned him with an unfriendly tone: "What bad things have you done, kid? Tell me the truth!"

"The Senju Clan's young master lost to me in a duel, and he even wants to be friends with me..." Shin promptly passed the buck to Nawaki.

Anyway, the whole village would know about his little scandal when the Konoha Daily came out tomorrow.

The clever him immediately declared: better a dead friend than a dead me.

Fugaku understood this time. He was going to drop out just because of this? His younger brother was still too young.

Back when he was in school, he was a "killer" among both boys and girls. He didn't know how many cute boys wanted to be his friend.

But if Fugaku could choose now, he would definitely choose female friends.

He didn't understand anything about adults.

The Uchiha couple was even more confused. The Senju Clan was really toxic.

It seemed that the rumors about Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara back then were not unfounded.

So this was their clan's traditional skill!

"Cough cough cough..." Chiken, who was the first to come back to his senses, coughed violently, bringing everyone back to reality.

Shin felt that his trick of diverting the trouble was really clever.

So he quickly pressed his advantage: "So, the Ninja Academy is very dangerous. You wouldn't have the heart to let me stay in this dump for five years, would you?"

Chiken quickly winked at his resourceful wife, telling her to quickly think of a solution.

Aoko stared at Shin until her eyes were dry, but she still couldn't see anything suspicious about him.

She guessed that this matter was probably not an exaggeration.

The Senju Clan's young master actually publicly wanted to be "friends" with the Uchiha's second young master?

The experienced couple felt that this "friend" relationship was probably not simple.

After thinking for a long time, Aoko looked at Chiken with a troubled expression. She understood men and women, but men and men?

Aoko said that this question was far beyond her ability, and gave him a look, telling him to handle it himself.

"What can I do?"

Chiken felt extremely wronged. He didn't know how to handle this "friend" relationship with the rival family.

Without relevant experience, it's really hard to know where to start with this kind of thing.

"Um..." Fugaku, who was watching the drama from the sidelines, couldn't help but raise his hand to speak. "Can I say something?"

He felt that he was the only one here with relevant "experience" to handle this kind of friend relationship.

"It's okay..." Chiken trusted the earnest-looking Fugaku in front of him. "Fugaku, say whatever you want."

Without any good ideas himself, he decided to listen to the other's opinion.

Fugaku came in front of the three of them, offering a solution with a confident expression. "Kids making friends, I had plenty of friends back when I was in school..."

Saying this, he glanced at the person involved. "Shin, if you don't want to be friends with him, then just ignore him..."

"Kids only have a three-minute attention span, or you could tell his elders, that's sure to work!"

"That's right, they're just five-year-olds!" X2

The Uchiha couple habitually didn't treat Shin like a child, completely ignoring that he was only five years old.

After listening to Fugaku's advice, they both suddenly understood.

Soon, both husband and wife had a plan in mind.

"Screwed over by my own family!"

Shin wailed inwardly. He thought Fugaku looked earnest and honest, but he didn't expect him to be so "dishonest."

He immediately shook his head, trying to object. "But the whole of Konoha will know about this tomorrow, what about my reputation? In the future..."

"Don't worry, son. Tonight, your father will go to the Konoha Daily and spend a little money to smear the Senju Clan's kid and create an image of you as the victim. People always sympathize with the weak..."

Aoko revealed an extremely cunning smile. "Then we'll do a series of reports. We can quickly shift the focus."

Isn't this Shin's public relations strategy from his previous life?

Buying trending searches, smearing rivals, whitewashing oneself. Anyway, the general public just wants to eat popcorn and watch the show. Who would bother looking for the truth?

Faced with Aoko's public relations strategy, Shin felt extremely depressed.

He was now certain that his mother's personality was definitely as black-bellied as it gets.

However, he still wanted to struggle a bit. "But if people find out..."

"So what if they find out? We'll just spend a little more money to smear them for 'desperate measures'," Aoko retorted.

"But my reputation..."

"What are you afraid of? Don't go to school for a few days, first stir up the rhythm, and once this storm passes, everything will return to normal," Aoko retorted again.

"What if the Senju Clan makes trouble..."

"Let them come. The Uchiha aren't pushovers. No matter how many come, we'll beat them all back!" Aoko retorted three times in a row.

Shin retreated with a "glorious" record of zero to three.

After winning, Aoko raised her pretty face, looking at Chiken as if asking for credit.

That look made Shin's whole body break out in goosebumps.

"Don't wait for me for lunch. I'll go to the newspaper office to settle things first." Chiken patted Aoko's shoulder to show his appreciation, then left home.

"Why is this happening? My efforts are going to be wasted..."

Shin's heart was constantly wailing.

"I, Uchiha Shin, from today onwards, officially renounce my humanity!"

On September 1st of the twenty-fifth year in Konoha, this transmigrator made a momentous decision.
