As Aizen in Naruto and Joined a Chat Group

Silence.

The moment this notification appeared, the group suddenly fell silent. After a while, the chat window began to scroll again.

Doujin Artist: That username... no way?

Curly-haired Guy: There's no way, right?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: It's happening! A samurai even more degenerate than Gin-san has really shown up!

Machete Girl: Is it Mr. Katsura?

Curly-haired Guy: Don't say that sad name! Damn it, why him? Why did it have to be him? I'd rather it had been Takasugi than this idiot!

Amegakure Village's Angel: I see. So Gin-san's ideal partner isn't Hijikata, it's Takasugi?

Curly-haired Guy: Ideal partner? What are you talking about? It's just a metaphor, just a metaphor! Anyway, we can't help it now. @Wig Guy, are you there?

The entire group paused for several seconds. Then, Eriri sent a message: No one's answering. They're probably still reading the group announcement.

Curly-haired Guy: Tch, this guy always takes forever to read these announcements. Let's make sure we're all on the same page from now on.

Doujin Artist: ?

Shark-Faced Guy: ?

Curly-haired Guy: It's about Anzen-san! Let's make this interesting!

This is an Actor: How do you want to play?

Curly-haired Guy: What if Aizen-sama appeared in the Gintama world?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Hmm, is it really necessary to make it that big?

Doujin Artist: You really go all out when you're sabotaging your teammates, huh? You must have overloaded that dumb brain of yours to come up with something like this! You're a genius!

Curly-haired Guy: Heh, when I do the livestream, are you watching or not?

Doujin Artist: What kind of dumb question is that? Of course I'm watching!

While the group was quietly scheming, Katsura Koutarou was still in shock.

A chat group that connects countless worlds, and with enough points, you can even travel between worlds?

Incredible!

This existence was just so amazing, so amazing that it almost felt unreal!

Thinking this, Katsura Koutarou pinched his thigh, but there was no pain at all. "Am I... dreaming?"

"Katsura-san, if you don't let go, Okawa-kun is going to die!" A voice suddenly sounded.

Katsura Koutarou quickly realized what had happened, looking sideways at the young man kneeling next to him. He was trembling, his face flushed. It was clear he had just been pinched on the thigh.

"Sorry, Okawa-kun," Katsura said apologetically, releasing his grip. "I got a little distracted."

"It's okay, Katsura-san," Okawa said with a cheerful smile, rubbing his thigh. "You were probably thinking about the Joui Patriots, right? Thinking for the country and the people—just like Katsura-san!"

"No. I was just thinking about how I might meet Lady Iris soon. I'm a little excited," Katsura said, shaking his head, his eyes filled with longing.

Silence.

The group of Joui Patriots sitting at his feet froze.

Lady Iris? The Iris from the RPG "Heavenly War Chronicles"? What is going on? Why is he thinking about a game character during such a serious Sonno Joi meeting?

And why Iris? Isn't she a middle-aged widow elf in the game? What's his deal?!

"Ah, right." As if remembering something, Katsura pulled two vouchers from his sleeve and handed them to Okawa. "To make up for it, take this as an apology gift."

This... this is...

Ogawa looked down at the discount coupon in his hand, his face twisting in disbelief. How could this be a discount coupon from a host club?! Why would a grown man like him need to go to a host club?!

"Give my name, and you can earn your spending points," said Katsura Kotaro, not bothering to pay any more attention to Ogawa, who was completely lost, and refocused on the group chat.

Wiggy: Hey everyone, I'm a newbie.

Doujin Artist: That took forever, how long did you stare at the announcement?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Right. Not only did we finish discussing the main plot, we've almost got the details worked out too.

Doujin Artist: Ahem, Ruiko-chan.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: It's fine, I'm sure Wiggy can't tell.

Wiggy: It's not a wig, it's Katsura! Wait, are you...?

Curly-haired Guy: It's clear now, we know who you are, Wiggy Kotaro. (emoji: nose picking)

Wiggy: You... you know who I am?

Curly-haired Guy: Did you figure it out?

Wiggy: Mrs. Aramaki from next door? I can't believe you're in this group too, that's impressive!

Curly-haired Guy: ?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pfft!

Doujin Artist: Hahaha! Oh my god!

Machete Girl: Mrs. Aramaki...

This is an Actor: So, what does our Mrs. Aramaki think about this?

Curly-haired Guy: I'm already planning my escape to kill someone. This idiot, with his messed-up brain, is hopeless! (voice message)

Wiggy: That voice... Gintoki? My dear friend, who would've thought we'd meet here by fate? This is great, really great!

Curly-haired Guy: Shut up! At this point, no amount of emotional speech will change anything! (emoji: anger)

Doujin Artist: One mention of Mrs. Aramaki, and your friendship comes to an end? Is this the twisting of human nature or the decay of morals?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Tune in to the 5 o'clock Dimension Chat Group, where we explain this thoroughly?

This is an Actor: Not bad, you two could do a comedy skit together.

Wiggy: So, this is the group leader? Nice to meet you. Here's a little gift from me[image]

Amegakure Village's Angel: ?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: ?

Doujin Artist: Pfft! A discount coupon from a host club?
