11. First Group Task.
Looking at the newly issued group task, Kaito quickly becomes enthusiastic... Especially when he looks at the rewards. Kaito who is eager to become stronger know the importance of the point in the chat group.
The reward of the task itself was enough to upgrade the chat group.
Shortly after, Kaito quickly analyzes the content of the group task. He remembers that Akitsu should be unable to be winged in the main series until the last arc by Mikogami Hayato... her destined Ashikabi.
Is this NTR? Kaito wondered about that.
*DING*
=====
[Answering the Owner's doubt, Due to the Power of Multiverse Chat Group support, it is possible for the Owner to bypass the world restriction plot and complete the task.]
=====
'Ah, So it does mean I really can wing her' Kaito smiled.
Kaito convinces himself that it won't count as NTR when Mikogami hasn't even met Akitsu. Based on her chat alone, he concludes that he needs to move quickly before Akitsu meets Mikogami... Which makes the quest harder if he needs to forcefully winged her.
Kaito also notices the optional task... Take Kaiten... In the plot, it was controlled by Miya, Sekirei Number 1 or 0. There is 2 possible way to complete that optional task, which is the first... Win the whole Sekirei Plan with Akitsu and second... Take the queen of Sekirei, Miya to be your own Sekirei.
He remembers that in the manga it was revealed that Miya, the strongest Sekirei was never been winged because her choice of Ashikabi was not his real Ashikabi. Kaito wondered if he is actually able to wing her too? Well, the system says that he was able to bypass the world restriction...
=====
[Answering the Owner's doubt again, It is indeed the case.]
=====
'Goddamn it, are you saying that I need to do NTR for his late husband to complete the task? The system wants to pit me!' Kaito thought.
Kaito thinks he is an upright good person and if possible he doesn't want to commit the crime of stealing other people's wives He decided to not do the optional task if it's meant abandoning his own principle.
=====
[...Answering the Owner's doubt once again, the husband of Sekirei Number 1 is already dead a long time ago... And she was never been touched by her 'Ashikabi' because her Ashikabi knows that she is not his Sekirei. If you leave her, her ending is pretty much the same as the manga.]
=====
Hearing the system explanation, Kaito wondered why the system really want him to complete the optional task. He admits though, that the reward of equipment is pretty good and if it's possible he wants to complete the task.
Kaito decided to open the chat group first and think about it in detail later.

...
[Railgun Girl]: "Where is that owner? We got a task from the chat group!"
[Owner]: "Alright, who is up for the task aside from me? Looking at the detail, we need to do it quickly to save our new member."
[Raigun Girl]: "Me! I want to do the task and beat you up!"
[Owner]: "Alright, exclude the Biri-Biri, who is up?"
[Railgun Girl]: "What? Why? It is not fair!"
[Owner]: "There are reasons why I exclude you from this, Biri-Biri. Your goddamn living place is full of surveillance! The moment you are gone, the crazy guy in the sky probably would notice you and dissect you!"
[Railgun Girl]: "Wait, really? You are not lying, right? I thought One Piece was a much more dangerous world."
[Owner]: "Nope. It was your world is the most dangerous among all the members here. Trust me. Until the chat group got something to hide you from those creatures, you shouldn't partake in any group task."
Kaito knows A Certain Magical Index World is probably as dangerous as his world or even worse because of the existence of the demon gods who can destroy the world whenever they wanted to. But even without them, Aleister who is controlling and monitoring the whole academy city of all time is already dangerous enough and right now he got no way to deal with him.
...
[Railgun Girl]: "You really know something, huh? Can you share the information about my world with the chat group?"
[Owner]: "I could. But not right now, we have a task to do and I bet you haven't finished One Piece either."
[Railgun Girl]: "Alright... I believe you, bastard. Promise me you will share it when the task is complete."
[Owner]: "No problem, Biri-Biri. Alright, back to the topic, who wanted to join the first group task?"
[Baroque Works Leader]: "Before that Owner, can you explain what is the Sekirei Plan?"
[Owner]: "Well... It was a plan by a madman, Minaka Hiroto to make 108 superpowered alien girls called Sekirei kill each other until the last one alive. The winner of this mad plan would get permission to ascend, though the truth actually not quite that true."
[Elementary Grade Magical Girl]: "Kill each other... That sounds horrible! We need to stop it!"
[Owner]: "Indeed. Since there is 3 participant limitation for this task. Aside from me and number 7, who is going to join? Also, you need to know this task might go on for a while... Probably for weeks or even months so make sure you didn't leave anything important in your world."
Unlike Kaito who own the group owner privilege, the other member in the chat group doesn't have the same feature as him... which mean, the time they are gone doing the task is also passed in their own world. He might need to think of a way for the chat group to enjoy the same feature of time freeze. Hopefully, it would be available in the next update.
...
[Baroque Works Leader]: "I will pass. I need to lead my organization here."
[Caped Baldy]: "Ah... I also pass, I am not going to miss the supermarket discount that would happen tomorrow."
Kaito is actually disappointed that Saitama decides not to join, but he then remembers, considering Sekirei's world... Bringing out Saitama might be slightly overkill.
[Elementary Grade Magical Girl]: "I want to participate but I already promise Yuno to help him first!"
[God Tongue]: "I want to participate but the task seems too dangerous to me... And my grandfather might be looking for me when I miss too long."
[Owner]: "That's right. Until you have strengthened yourself, you shouldn't participate in this task, Erina."
[Uchiha Prodigy]: "This task... Can I try to join?"
...!!!
[Railgun Girl]: "Another new member finally talks!"
[Uchiha Prodigy]: "Hello senior."
[Owner]: "Of course, but can you tell me who are you? There are a lot of Uchiha Prodigy and it was hard for me to guess who you are."

...
A fair tall man with jet-black hair, wearing a black robe with a red cloud pattern and got fair complexion currently sitting on the top of a big rock watching the mysterious phenomenon in front of him. At first, he thought that he got into illusion, so he tried to active his Sharingan-- even mangekyou, but the screen still exists whenever he calls for it.
Uchiha Itachi learned that apparently he was invited to something called a chat group, assumed by the mysterious owner who seems able to know everything. He calmly observed the topic inside the chat group, checked the store, use it is features like inventory, and even bought the cup noodle from the store to prove if it was real as the God Tongue did.
All of the tests by Itachi have been proven real so far, which is a bit unbelievable for him to be honest. Itachi wondered why he got such a chance to be invited to this place, that seems the purpose of it was to help each other members across the world.
He also thought, maybe... Is this his chance to pay for all of his sins, for all of the tragedy that he has caused? To help people from another world and to some extent... and save them.
Itachi feels that he needs to ask the owner about this. Why he was chosen, and why this chat group exists. Looking at the task and the situation in the chat group, he knew that it is his chance to see the true nature of this chat group and meet the owner directly so Itachi decided to offer himself to follow the owner to do the task.
====
[Uchiha Prodigy]: "My name is Uchiha Itachi."
...!!!
'I didn't expect actual Uchiha Itachi is joining this chat group!' Kaito thought.
Kaito who is just aware of Itachi, can't help but feel happy. Itachi is one of his favorite character in Naruto, and being able to communicate with him make him happy. Not to mention that Itachi is quite strong in the series... Which could help a lot with this group task.
Before that, Kaito needs to know what is the current timeline of the Naruto world so Kaito could revise a plan for him.
...
[Owner]: "I see... Then, Itachi can you tell me about your situation? Are you still in Konoha? Have already massacred your own clan member? Did you already join Akatsuki? What is your recent activity?"
[Uchiha Prodigy]: "...You really know about my situation."
[Railgun Girl]: "Another evil guy?!"
[Owner]: "Can you shut up a bit, Biri-Biri? This guy, in fact, nicest person among us. It is just the circumstances that he needs to join an evil organization as a spy."
[God Tongue]: "So he is an anti-hero-type protagonist."
[Owner]: "If you know the circumstances of what he did, I believe you will also come to respect him. Well, at least I do."
[Railgun Girl]: "Then what are you waiting for? Share the memories!"
[Owner]: "Not yet. Anyway, Itachi... Can you answer my question? I need to know the timeline where you are at now. I mean, your recent activities."
[Uchiha Prodigy]: "Just about yesterday, I participated in Akatsuki's important mission to stop Konoha ninja in order to save the captured Kazekage."
...
Listening to Itachi's answer, Kaito immediately knows that the current timeline was the start of Naruto Shippuden. Which could be both good or bad for him. Itachi is already at his peak at that time, yet he also suffered a decline from illness. A few months later Itachi should be dead in his brother's arm.
Well... Kaito will think of a way to save him later. No way he would let anyone on his chat group died.
....
[Owner]: "I see. Even so, Are you sure you want to participate? What if Akatsuki members are looking for you? Are your body okay?"
[Uchiha Prodigy]: "No problem on both questions. Our leader told us to have free time until the next mission is announced. Since it was just yesterday we got a mission, there should be time for me to do anything I want to."
[Owner]: "What about Kisame, your partner? What if he looking for you?"
[Uchiha Prodigy]: "I will be told him that I will be gone for a while and he should be understood that. Both of us don't always stick to each other and have our own businesses."
[Owner]: "I see... Alright, you can join if you are really sure about it."
[Uchiha Prodigy]: "Yes."
[Owner]: "Then, I will accept the task."
*DING*
