Hello, everyone. I'm Saiki Kusuo, and I'm a psychic.
As you can see, I've landed in the biggest predicament of my life: I was forced to transmigrate through a conspiracy and reincarnated as a member of a clan in a manga world that will be wiped out in the future. I'm also... the only pink-haired person in the eyes of a bunch of black-haired rabbits.
And right in front of me is Uchiha Madara, my older brother, who will become the future final boss according to the manga plot. At this moment, he's frantically changing a bottle of formula, while his thoughts are full of [Ah, my little brother is so cute! My little brother is the best in the world!]
...He's an absolute little-brother-obsessed maniac.
How to pretend to be an ordinary person in the decidedly unusual Uchiha clan during the Warring States period is a difficult challenge.
[Scene 1]
The first person to realize that Saiki Kusuo wasn't ordinary was Senju Tobirama, from a rival clan.
After discovering that his thoughts seemed to be read again and again, Senju Tobirama instantly grew wary. "Big brother, that person might be able to read minds! He can read other people's thoughts in real time!!"
...However, nobody believed him.
Still, perhaps it was only to be expected of the great inventor Senju Tobirama, who created countless forbidden techniques.
By the next time they met, he'd already learned how to fight this kind of mind-reading. In other words...
"Ninja Art: Mind-Shutting Technique!"
As the name suggests, this is a technique that clears all distracting thoughts from your brain with a single hand sign, ensuring that the contents of your mind match whatever you say out loud.
However, the technique seemed to have a side effect. Specifically...
Senju Hashirama stared curiously at Senju Tobirama. "Brother, you look like an idiot."
Senju Tobirama kept his blank expression and punched his big brother without mercy. "Shut up!"
From the outside, it just made him look like the idiot Riki Nendo.
The technique did work, though. Saiki Kusuo found that he could still hear Senju Hashirama's thoughts, but couldn't sense Senju Tobirama's thoughts at all.
He never expected there to be another way to block his mind-reading besides the telepathy blocker invented by Saiki Kusuke.
Senju Tobirama really was no ordinary person.
[Scene 2]
Senju Tobirama really was a brilliant inventor.
After becoming second-in-command, he couldn't keep using the Mind-Shutting Technique. After all, making a fool of himself in front of all the ninja clans was no better than dying. So Senju Tobirama secluded himself for three days and successfully invented...
A telepathy blocker.
The cat-ear-shaped kind.
Compared to the model invented by Saiki Kusuke, this telepathy blocker had one advantage: it could block his own thoughts in one direction without interfering with his ability to receive Saiki Kusuo's telepathic messages.
After all, Senju Tobirama knew himself well enough to realize that his relationship with Saiki Kusuo was nowhere near good enough for them to communicate effortlessly with just a look.
And he was a Senju!
Could a Senju really be close enough to an Uchiha to communicate their thoughts with a mere glance? His father, Senju Butsuma, would be so angry he'd rise from his grave!
Although the fact that his big brother eventually chose to ally with Uchiha Madara would be enough to make their father rise from his grave hundreds of times over.
However, this telepathy blocker had one fatal flaw that couldn't be overlooked.
Saiki Kusuo's expression remained perfectly calm. [Are you sure you want to use this blocker in public?]
Senju Tobirama: "Why can't I, meow?"
Senju Tobirama: "..."
Senju Tobirama: "What the hell, meow!"
