[Ding! Group Leader Furukawa Ryu has muted "Senju Tobirama" and "Uchiha Izuna" for three minutes!]
Almost instantly, two notifications popped up one after another.
[Ding! Group member "Senju Tobirama" has requested to leave the network. Approve?]
[Ding! Group member "Uchiha Izuna" has requested to leave the network. Approve?]
Ryu raised an eyebrow.
"Tch. So they've both got attitude, huh? That's a sickness. Needs treatment."
[Furukawa Ryu]: Heh. Keep dreaming.
[Rejected.]
[Rejected.]
"Damn it…"
Tobirama's expression darkened.
He had just been laughing at Madara a moment ago, and now he had fallen into the exact same hole himself.
He had acted too fast.
He already knew that bastard group leader would never agree, so why had he still pressed the button?
Now he had embarrassed himself completely.
[Namikaze Minato]: Pfft… what a terrifying group leader…
[Furukawa Ryu]: Heh. That's what happens when you ignore the group leader.
At that moment, another notification rang out in Hashirama and Madara's minds.
Your mute has expired. Permission to speak has been restored.
The two loudmouths immediately started talking again.
[Senju Hashirama]: Wahahaha! Tobirama, you're always calling me a chatterbox, but look at you now—you got muted too!
[Uchiha Madara]: Tobirama, you think you're worthy of talking back to me?
[Uchiha Madara]: Kid, you've got guts. You actually dared mute me? Tell me where we can fight! I'm going to make you regret it!
[Ding! Group Leader Furukawa Ryu has muted "Uchiha Madara" for ten minutes!]
[Furukawa Ryu]: Still not behaving? Back to the corner. Reflect on yourself.
[Senju Hashirama]: Wahahaha! Madara, are you trying to make me die laughing—
In the Pure Land, Madara smashed his fist into the ground in fury.
"Damn brat! I'm going to kill you!"
But all he could do was rage helplessly.
[Hyuga Hizashi]: I never thought the legendary God of Shinobi, the First Hokage, would be this… approachable.
[Senju Hashirama]: Hahaha! Only Madara and Tobirama like putting on airs!
[Namikaze Minato]: Poor Second Hokage-sama.
[Hyuga Hizashi]: I… do not dare comment on that…
[Senju Hashirama]: Alright, kid, why don't you explain what this network can actually do?
[Furukawa Ryu]: Who are you calling a kid? Call me that again and I'll send you to keep Madara company.
Ryu did not care whether Hashirama was the God of Shinobi or not.
Once you entered his network, you followed his rules.
Besides…
Bullying Hashirama felt weirdly satisfying.
No wonder Madara had been so passionate about it his whole life.
Inside the little dark room, Madara punched the wall again.
"Bastard! How dare he talk to Hashirama like that!"
Apparently, in Madara's heart, only he was allowed to bully Hashirama.
Seeing that everyone had finally been cowed by his overwhelming authority and the chat was at last settling down, Ryu curled his lips in satisfaction.
Then, on a whim, he changed his own group title.
[Furukawa Ryu]: Next, let's talk about—
This time, a shiny golden tag had appeared in front of his name.
It read:
The Most Handsome Guy in the Ninja World
[Senju Hashirama]: Huh? What's that in front of the group leader's name? That looks pretty interesting!
[Uchiha Izuna]: A little narcissistic, though. Tsk.
The three minutes were up. Izuna and Tobirama had both been released.
[Furukawa Ryu]: If you want one too, you can. Think of something yourself, then apply to me.
The chat fell silent for about ten seconds.
Clearly, everyone was thinking very seriously about what title they wanted.
Then—
The messages started flooding in.
[Senju Hashirama]: "The Number One Heartthrob in the Ninja World"! I want that one!
[Senju Tobirama]: Big Brother, can you be any more shameless? Mine is: "The Fastest Man in the Ninja World."
[Uchiha Izuna]: You two brothers really are cut from the same cloth. Give me: "My Big Brother Is Super Fierce"!
[Hatake Sakumo]: Just give me "Konoha's White Fang."
[Namikaze Minato]: After careful consideration, I've decided on: "The Yellow Flash Who Loves Konoha Most—and Kushina and Naruto Even More!"
[Uzumaki Kushina]: Minato… I seriously have no words for your naming sense.
…
…
Looking at the flood of messages, Ryu felt like his worldview was shattering.
He felt like his whole worldview had just been blown to pieces.
Finally, Madara, who had just been released from his little dark room, hurriedly sent his own request.
[Uchiha Madara]: Group Leader! Give me "Konoha's Invincible Shura"! Do that, and I'll let the muting thing slide!
Ryu pressed a hand to his forehead.
He forcefully resisted the urge to stuff Madara back into solitary confinement and started assigning titles.
[Ding! Group Leader Furukawa Ryu has assigned Senju Hashirama the title: "Big Hashi Who Spoils Madara the Most"]
[Senju Hashirama]: ??? W-What is this?! That's not the one I asked for, Group Leader!
Naturally, his protest was completely ignored.
In the Pure Land, Hashirama's old face turned red.
"Damn it… did he discover the truth? My glorious reputation…"
[Ding! Group Leader Furukawa Ryu has assigned Uchiha Madara the title: "The Ninja World's Dance King Who Loves Hashirama Most!"]
[Uchiha Madara]: What the hell is this garbage?! Hashirama and I are mortal enemies! And what the hell is a Dance King?!
[Ding! Group Leader Furukawa Ryu has assigned Senju Tobirama the title: "Stone-Faced Forbidden Jutsu Maniac"]
[Senju Tobirama]: I am not— …fine, I really am stone-faced.
[Ding! Group Leader Furukawa Ryu has assigned Uchiha Izuna the title: "My Big Brother Is Super Fierce"]
[Uchiha Madara]: The hell?! Why is Izuna the only one whose title got approved exactly as he wanted?!
…
[Ding! Group Leader Furukawa Ryu has assigned Hatake Sakumo the title: "The White-Fanged Stone Face"]
[Ding! Group Leader Furukawa Ryu has assigned Namikaze Minato the title: "Genius at Terrible Names"]
[Ding! Group Leader Furukawa Ryu has assigned Uchiha Shisui the title: "The Idealistic Martyr"]
