(This part has a lot of chatter)
System: Ten minutes until the premiere of the massive trailer, please stay tuned!
Jiraiya's excuse left Minato a bit frustrated… but that was Jiraiya for you!
Yet Kakashi, what's your deal? Your student just beat up my son!
Minato Namikaze: ??? What are you saying? Your teacher's son got hurt, yet you defend your student? Kakashi Hatake: …Your son is my student too. Minato Namikaze: ??? Wow, you defend the other student just because he's also a student? Kakashi Hatake: …They were good friends. Minato Namikaze: ??? Friends who stab each other with Chidori? Minato Namikaze: Come on, take one Rasengan from me! Kakashi Hatake: …Sensei, this isn't right or proper. Obito Uchiha: Haha, priceless! Minato Namikaze: Laugh all you want, don't think dying early made you better! Obito Uchiha: … Minato Namikaze: No one gives me peace of mind! Rin Nohara: Um… I think I'm pretty low-maintenance. Minato Namikaze: …Hmm, I guess you are. Rin Nohara: ??? Why is that? Minato Namikaze: !!! Seriously, you're just a Three-Tails host, I could have suppressed you anytime, so why die? Were you stupid or what? Hiruzen Sarutobi: …Second Hokage, since meeting you, your comebacks have only gotten sharper? Tobirama Senju: What do you mean? Trying to pin this on me? Hiruzen Sarutobi: Minato used to be so gentle…but now… Kurama (Yin): I won't tell you it's because I kept insulting him… Hashirama Senju: Who knew trading insults with the Nine-Tails would sharpen one's tongue? Kurama, shall we try? Kurama (Yin): …No thanks, I might be in over my head, and he'd slap me then seal me for danger! Tobirama Senju: Those Tailed Beasts suffered enough back then! All Tailed Beasts: We know, a single clone attacked and asked if we were Tailed Beasts, I said yes, and got slammed face-first mission complete! Tobirama Senju: …That was a bit much. Hashirama Senju: ??? Too much? Didn't you tell me to be faster and more decisive? Tobirama Senju: …
In just two rounds of Q&A or rather a live broadcast with the Death God's belly footage in between the shinobi world's perception of the System was shattered.
Especially the shop items: a resurrection card for one billion gold.
There were even Hashirama's Wood Release clones and Sage Mode body cosmetics… yet that price was pricier than resurrection!
Everyone was stunned.
All items were classified as experience cards or permanent products.
For example, a single-tomoe Sharingan for 100,000 gold, dual-tomoe for one million, three-tomoe for ten million! A Mangekyō Sharingan cost one hundred million???
An Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was marked uncertain, but certainly astronomical!
Most shinobi didn't know how it evolved and where could one find two eyes of similar bloodline? Plus there was a failure chance.
Over all these years, besides the Ōtsutsuki, only Madara reached that level, even Obito never obtained it!
Of course, that excludes future Sasuke.
Ninjutsu were even stranger to price.
Tsunade's Flying Thunder God was actually the method to master it, and only Konoha had that method.
So why pay for the scroll?
Eighty thousand gold for a forbidden jutsu recipe? Ridiculous.
Meanwhile, most one-time cards offered mastery for example, Tsukuyomi.
Just like reality, jutsu fit certain users, so paying eighty thousand for a method made sense.
Simple Fire and Water release jutsu, few could even use properly, most had only a single chakra nature.
Let alone Flying Thunder God, a space-time jutsu that three of them had to coordinate to use.
Minato unleashed it solo over the sea, blew up an island, then returned!
Second Hokage said Minato's Thunder God was faster than his own.
Even the multi-shadow clone jutsu required enormous chakra or one would be drained instantly.
Since the quiz, Kakashi's Uzumaki Clan trait card was the best item so far!
Worth a million, and if optimized, could massively increase chakra, dozens of Kakashis' worth!
…
The Akatsuki panicked quiz participation was mandatory, or they'd be hunted down as rogue ninjas!
Madara Uchiha panicked more – with more gold out there, how could his plans succeed? Even Eternal Mangekyō was purchasable now!
Obito Uchiha, eyeing the Tailed Beast chakra, fell into deep thought.
I shall be the second… a Rikudō (Six Paths)!
Meanwhile, the other hidden villages eyed Konoha's forbidden jutsu – even Sunagakure!
Though allies, Konoha's heritage was too strong!
Sasuke and Naruto's battle was long forgotten – no matter how strong one person is, forbidden techniques were more important 153 of them? Given away for free?
What they didn't know was those two spared brats were future big shots!
Nor did they know one day, everyone would be urgently summoned back...
"Leaf is too terrifying! Return at once!"
System: Opening main broadcast: The Fourth Great Shinobi World War Begins!
Obito Uchiha: What?! Kakashi Hatake: What happened, Obito? Rin Nohara: Another war…
Obito fell silent for Rin, then answered Kakashi through gritted teeth.
Obito Uchiha: It's nothing… Hashirama Senju: War follows every era… Tobirama Senju: …
Hashirama advocated peace. If he wanted to unify the world, he could have mounted One-Tail to Susanoo, not Susanoo on One-Tail.
Tobirama had ambition, yet he was a bro-con…
Why are the Uchiha and Senju all sibling-obsessed, and often about each other?
