Everyone in the classroom watched Shen's back as he left. They all sighed."This is the genius of a big family!”
"Genius? The so-called geniuses were all forced out by themselves. Could a simple sentence like 'genius' erase all of my hard work?”Shen thought disdainfully as he listened to the discussions behind him.
The so-called difference between the geniuses of large families and ordinary civilians was that the former had received the guidance of the elders in the family since childhood, while the latter did not. Therefore, people with families started much earlier than those without.
This was equivalent to two people running at the same starting line. One person ran first, while the other was still posing at the starting line. By the time they figured out the situation, they could no longer catch up. They could only watch the former's back from behind.
Of course, if the former was only satisfied with the current situation and did not want to improve, the latter would also surpass the former through hard work.
Therefore, there were no natural geniuses, only hardworking geniuses.
Shen did not pay any attention to the discussions behind him. He walked straight home.
"I'm back!" When Shen returned home, he found that Uchiha Mikoto was alone. Uchiha Weitake and Uchiha Tomitake were not at home.
"Shen is back! Eh? Didn't Sasuke come back with you?" Although Shen and Sasuke looked exactly the same, as the mother, Uchiha Mikoto was able to recognize who was Sasuke and who was Shen at a glance.
"Yes, he's behind us. He'll be back soon.”Shen replied to Uchiha Mikoto. His tone and expression were not as cold as usual. Every time Shen and Uchiha Mikoto were alone together, Mikoto's eyes would reveal her love for him. Shen could not bring himself to put on a cold front.
It would be a lie to say that Shen had no feelings for this family. After all, he was born after Meiqin had carried him for ten months. Meiqin had been by his side for six years, from babbling to learning to walk.
Even though he pretended to be cold after learning about his world and identity, Meiqin still smiled and doted on him, letting him enjoy the long-lost motherly love.
Even a dog that had been raised for six years would have deep feelings for its owner, not to mention a person with flesh and blood and a soul.
However, Uchiha's fate was already decided, even though the outcome was already known. With Shen's weak strength, what could he do? What could it change? Could it be that they ran to Uchiha Tomitake and told him not to launch a coup, or they would be exterminated? Even if there was a one in a thousand chance that Uchiha Tomitake would believe him, what about Uchiha's group of elders? One had to know that such an important matter was definitely not something that the clan leader could decide alone. If Shen really did so, he would most likely be arrested as a traitor. Even if he was not killed for the sake of the Clan Leader, he would definitely be imprisoned.
The result was still the same. There was no way to stop Uchiha's coup. In the original novel, even the three generations and the weasel tried their best to stop it, but they failed. In the end, they had no choice but to let the weasel carry out the extermination of the race. Shen would not naively believe that his strength and status had surpassed Uchiha Weitake and the third generation Naruto.
Therefore, Uchiha's clan was destined to be exterminated. Shen was powerless to change anything. The only thing he could do was to try his best to increase his own strength so that he would have a better chance of surviving that major event. After all, there was no such character in the original novel. Who knew if it would change the plot?
It was precisely because he could not change the tragedy of his clan being exterminated that Shen had deliberately distanced himself from this family. In his previous life, Shen's parents had gotten into a car accident and both of them passed away. Shen really did not want to experience the heartbreaking feeling of his parents dying in front of him again. Hence, he had always warned himself not to develop too many feelings for this family.
As Shen deliberately acted cold, the whole family mistakenly thought that Shen was autistic or depressed. Therefore, the whole family subconsciously cared more about Shen than Sasuke. It was also for this reason that Sasuke was dissatisfied with Shen, causing the relationship between the two who were originally twins to be very bad.
"I'm back." At this time, Sasuke also returned home.
"Sasuke, you're back. Today's your first day of school, how do you feel?”Mikoto asked Sasuke with a smile.
Sasuke looked at Shen with a complicated expression and said to Mikoto,"I didn't do well in school today. I didn't learn anything. By the way, Mommy, where's Brother Ferret? Is he not back yet?"
"That's right. I heard that Weasel went on a mission today. He probably won't be back until tomorrow.”Mikoto stroked Sasuke's head and smiled at him. "Oh, another mission. Why are there so many missions?”Sasuke said unhappily. "Hehe, I have no choice. Big brother is a ninja, and Sasuke will become a ninja in the future.”Mikoto comforted Sasuke.
"Alright, you guys go play by yourselves. Mommy will go cook first.”Mikoto said to Shen and Sasuke before she got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
"It's still early before mealtime. Let's go out and take a walk. I haven't had a good look at Muye since I was born.”Shen thought to himself that he had yet to properly explore Woodleaf Village, so he decided to take this opportunity to go out for a stroll.
"Shen, where are you going?" Sasuke asked Shen, who was about to leave.
"Hmm?" Shen found it strange. Sasuke usually ignored him, so why did he call out to him so abnormally today? Even though Shen found it strange, he still answered,"I didn't go anywhere. I just went out for a stroll."”
"Then I want to go too." Sasuke got up and followed after him.
"Hmm? What was wrong with this guy today? Not only did you take the initiative to talk to me, but you also want to follow me out?”Shen looked at Sasuke and wondered.
The main reason was that today's Shen had given Sasuke a huge shock. Shen, who usually did not like to talk or play with him at home, was actually so powerful. This was completely beyond Sasuke's understanding of Shen. He often accompanied Itachi in training, but he had never seen Shen train before. He was very curious about how Shen could be so powerful. Hence, he decided to follow Shen around today to see what he was up to.
"Oh, as you wish." Although Shen felt very strange, he did not show it. Anyway, he was just going out for a walk. If he wanted to follow, then let him.
Then, the two brothers went out together.
The two of them walked on Muye's street, neither of them speaking. After a while, Sasuke couldn't help but ask Shen,"Do you usually go shopping like this?"”"Hmm? Do you have any objections?" Shen said coldly to Sasuke. "Damn it, then how can you be so powerful?”"Oh! You mean this?" Shen said with a sudden realization. He finally understood Sasuke's abnormality. "Of course I cultivated it myself." Shen did not intend to hide it from Sasuke, because he knew that Sasuke would not tell anyone. "What is it? Cultivated by himself? How is this possible?" " I'm not that strong," Sasuke said in surprise." How can you cultivate to that level by yourself?"”"That's your own business." Shen ignored Sasuke and continued walking.
"Damn it, damn it, I won't lose to you.”Sasuke did not follow them. Instead, he ran back home, probably to cultivate.
"Tsk! Little wimp, it's better if you leave." Shen ignored Sasuke's departure and continued to stroll around by himself.
"Eh? Is that…Chen Jun?" On Muye Street, a little girl's puzzled voice came from a flower shop." It's really Chenjun! Hello, Chenjun! Chen Jun!" The girl shouted at Shen who was on the street.
Shen, who was walking on the street, suddenly heard someone calling his name. He looked in the direction of the voice in confusion. He saw a blonde-haired loli in an apron standing at the entrance of a flower shop with a showerhead in her hand. She was waving at him.
"Eh? Isn't this Ino? She remembered that her family owned a flower shop.”The little loli Shen was looking at was Ino Yamanaka.
Shen walked over and pretended not to know Ino. He smiled and asked,"Hello, who are you?"
"I'm Ino, Ino Yamanaka. We're all in Teacher Iruka's class!”Ino explained to Shen.
"Oh, it's Ino-san. Hello! Is this your family's flower shop?" Shen asked Ino with a smile. He was a completely different person from when he was in the classroom.
"Yes, this is my mother's flower shop. I came over to help after school.”Ino replied.
"Hehe, does Ino like flowers very much?”
"Yes, yes, I like it very much!" Ino replied happily.
Shen picked up a rose and asked Ino,"How much is this flower?"
"Do you want to buy flowers? This was a rose. It was usually given to a lover or someone they liked. If you want it, I'll give it to you." Ino said shyly to Shen.
"Hehe, Ino is giving it to me? This was a rose, a gift for lovers or loved ones. Does Ino like me?" Shen teased Ino.
"What? "This…this…" Ino did not expect Shen to be so straightforward. She was so frightened that she could not speak.
"Hehe, I'm not kidding. How much is it? "I'll buy it," Shen said to Ino.
"Oh, this rose is ten taels of silver for one.”Ino stated the price to Shen. One could hear a hint of disappointment in his tone.
"Here! Here's the money." Shen took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Ino.
"Then, this flower is mine now.”Shen handed the flowers to Ino. This is for you."
Ino subconsciously took it." For me?”
"Yeah, I'll give it to you. Don't you like it? Then forget it." Shen said as he reached out to take it back.
"No, no, no. I like it. I like it very much.”Ino hurriedly said to Shen.
"Hehe, it's good that you like it. I'll leave first.”Shen said to Ino.
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Chenjun."
"See you tomorrow!" Shen turned around and left.
Ino looked at Shen's back and shyly cupped his face with his hands.
"Chen Jun actually gave me roses, hehe!"
