Everyone in the classroom looked at Shen's back and sighed, "So this is the genius of a big family!"
"Genius? The so-called genius is forced out by oneself. Do you think a simple genius can erase my hard work? "Shen listened to the discussion behind him and thought with disdain.
The difference between a genius of a big family and an ordinary person is that the former received guidance from the elders of the family since childhood, while the latter did not. Therefore, people with a big family start much earlier than those without.
This was equivalent to two people racing on the same starting line. One person ran first, while the other was still posing at the starting line. By the time he figured out the situation, it was already too late to catch up. He could only look at the back of the former from behind.
Of course, if the former is satisfied with the status quo and does not want to improve, the latter will surpass the former through hard work.
Therefore, there are no natural geniuses, only geniuses who work hard.
Shen did not pay attention to the discussion behind him and went straight home.
"I'm back!" When Shen returned home, he found only Uchiha Mikoto. Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Fugaku were not at home.
"Shen is back! Huh? Sasuke didn't come back with you? " Although Shen and Sasuke looked exactly the same, Mikoto, as a mother, could recognize who was Sasuke and who was Shen at a glance.
"Well, he's in the back. He will be back soon." Shen replied to Mikoto, his tone and expression were not as cold as usual. Every time Shen and Mikoto were alone together, he could see the love in Mikoto's eyes. He could not harden his heart and pretend to be cold.
It would be a lie if one were to say that Shen had no feelings for this family. After all, Mikoto was the one who gave birth to him after ten months of pregnancy. In the past six years, Mikoto had been by his side from the time he was babbling to the time he was learning how to walk.
Even when he deliberately pretended to be cold and indifferent after learning about his identity, Mikoto still smiled at him and pampered him, letting him enjoy the long-lost motherly love.
Even if it was a dog that had been raised for six years, it would still have deep feelings for its owner, let alone a person with flesh, blood, and soul.
However, the fate of the Uchiha was already decided, even if the result was known. With Shen's weak strength, what can he do? What can he change? Did he run to Uchiha Fugaku and tell him not to launch a coup, or else his clan would be exterminated? Even if Uchiha Fugaku believed him, what about the elders of the Uchiha? One must know that such an important matter was definitely not decided by the patriarch alone. If Shen were to do that, he would likely be treated as a traitor and captured. Even if he would not be killed out of respect for the Clan Chief, he would most definitely be imprisoned.
The result was still the same, there was no way to stop the coup. In the original work, even if Sandaime and Itachi tried their best to stop it, they didn't succeed. In the end, they had no choice but to let Itachi carry out the extermination. Even Sandaime and Itachi didn't succeed, so Shen wasn't naive enough to think that his strength and status had surpassed Uchiha Itachi and Sandaime.
Therefore, the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan is inevitable. Shen was powerless to change anything. All he could do was increase his strength as much as he could so that he would have a better chance of surviving. After all, there was no such character in the original work. Who knew if it would change the plot?
It was precisely because he couldn't change the tragedy of the Uchiha Clan's annihilation that Shen deliberately wanted to alienate the family. In his previous life, Shen's parents had gotten into a car accident and both of them passed away. Shen really didn't want to experience the heart-wrenching feeling of his parents dying in front of his eyes, so he always warned himself not to have too much feelings for the family.
Because of Shen's deliberately indifferent appearance, the family mistakenly thought that Shen had autism, depression, or something like that. Therefore, the family unconsciously cared about Shen more than Sasuke. It was also for this reason that Sasuke was dissatisfied with Shen, causing the relationship between the twins to be very bad.
"I'm back." At this time, Sasuke also returned home.
"Sasuke, you're back. Today is your first day at school. How do you feel?" Mikoto asked Sasuke with a smile.
Sasuke looked at Shen with a complicated expression and said to Mikoto, "Today at school wasn't very good. I didn't learn anything. By the way, mom, where's Brother Itachi? Hasn't he come back yet? "
"Yes, I heard that Itachi went to Choshu for a mission today. He probably won't come back until tomorrow." Mikoto touched Sasuke's head and said to him with a smile. "Oh, another mission. Why are there so many missions?" Sasuke said with dissatisfaction. "Hehe, it can't be helped. Brother is a Ninja. Sasuke will also become a Ninja in the future." Mikoto comforted Sasuke.
"Well, you guys go play by yourselves. Mom is going to cook first." Mikoto said to Shen and Sasuke, then got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
"It's still early to eat. Let's go out for a walk. I haven't walked around Konoha in my life." Shen thought that he hadn't walked around Konoha yet, so he took advantage of this time to go out for a walk.
"Shen, where are you going?" Sasuke asked Shen, who was about to go out.
"Huh?" Shen felt very strange. Sasuke usually didn't care about him. Why did he call out to him so abnormally today? Although he felt strange, Shen still answered him. "Not going anywhere. Just going out for a walk."
"Then I'm going too." Sasuke said and got up to follow.
"Huh? What's wrong with this guy today? Not only did he take the initiative to talk to me, but he also wants to go out with me? "Shen looked at Sasuke and thought in confusion.
In fact, it was mainly because Shen gave Sasuke a big shock today. Shen, who usually didn't talk or play with him at home, actually had such strong strength. This was completely beyond Sasuke's understanding of Shen. He often accompanied Itachi to practice, but he had never seen Shen practice. He was very curious about how Shen could have such strong strength. So today, he planned to follow Shen to see what he usually did.
"Oh, whatever." Although Shen felt strange, he didn't 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 walked on the streets of Konoha, and no one spoke. After a while, Sasuke couldn't help but ask Shen. "Do you usually just go out like this?" "Do you have a problem with that?" Shen said coldly to Sasuke. "Damn it, then how can you be so strong?" "Oh!" "Oh, you mean this?" Shen said in realization. He finally knew Sasuke's abnormality. "Of course, I practiced it myself." Shen didn't intend to hide it from Sasuke, because Shen knew that Sasuke wouldn't say it. "What? You practiced it yourself? How is that possible? " Sasuke said in surprise. "I obviously followed Itachi gege to practice, and I'm not that strong. How can you practice to that level by yourself?" "That's your own business." Shen ignored Sasuke and walked on his own.
"Damn it, damn it. I won't lose to you." Sasuke didn't follow, but ran back home. He probably went back to practice.
"Hey! Kid, it's better that you leave. "Shen ignored Sasuke's departure and continued to stroll by himself.
"Huh? That's … Shen Kun? " On the streets of Konoha, a little girl's puzzled voice came from a flower shop. "It's really Shen Kun! Hey, Shen Kun! Shen Kun! "The girl shouted at Shen on the street.
Shen, who was walking on the street, suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked in the direction of the voice in confusion. He saw a little yellow-haired loli with an apron standing at the door of a flower shop, waving at him.
"Huh? Isn't this Ino? Now that I think about it, her family runs a flower shop. "The little loli that Shen was looking at was none other than Yamanaka Ino.
Shen walked over and pretended not to know her. He smiled and asked Ino, "Hello, who are you?"
"I'm Ino, Yamanaka Ino. We are all in Iruka-sensei'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 completely different from when he was in the classroom.
"Yes, this is my mother's flower shop. I came to help after school." Ino replied.
"Oh, Ino, do you like flowers very much?"
"Yes, yes, I like it very much!" Ino replied happily.
Shen picked up a rose and asked Ino, "How much did this one cost?"
"Does Shen Kun want to buy flowers? This is a rose. It is usually given to a lover or someone you like. If Shen Kun wants it, I can give it to you, "Ino said shyly to Shen.
"Oh, Ino, you want to give it to me? This is a rose. It is given to a lover or someone you like. Could it be that Ino likes me? "Shen teased Ino.
"Ah? This … this … "Ino did not expect Shen to be so blunt. She was so shocked that she was rendered speechless.
"He he, I won't tease you. How much is it? I'll buy it, "Shen said to Ino.
"Oh, this rose is ten taels of silver each," Ino told Shen the price. There was a trace of disappointment in her voice.
"Here! Here's the money, "Shen took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Ino.
"Then, this flower is now mine," Shen said as he handed the flower to Ino. "Here! For you. "
Ino subconsciously accepted it. "For me?"
"Yes, for you. Don't you like it? Forget it, "Shen said as he reached out to take it back.
"No, no, no. I like it. I like it very much," Ino quickly said to Shen.
"He he, as long as you like it. I'll be leaving first," Shen said to Ino.
"Mm, see you tomorrow, Shen Kun."
"See you tomorrow!" After saying that, Shen turned and left.
Ino looked at Shen's back and shyly held her face with both hands.
"Shen Kun actually gave me a rose, hehe."
