Year 32 of Konoha, just as the Second Great Ninja War was beginning.
[Uchiha Jin: @Senju Hashirama @Senju Tobirama, Your grandson/grandnephew, Senju Nawaki, is about to die. If you give me the Wood Release or Flying Thunder God Technique, I might think of a way to save him.]
In the classroom, the 8-year-old Uchiha Jin appeared to be sleeping on his desk.
In reality, he was secretly accessing his cheat-
[The Chat Group of the Dead Across All Worlds]
He was @-ing two members within it.
Except for himself, all the members in this group were dead people from various worlds.
For example, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and also Portgas D. Ace and Edward Newgate from the One Piece World, Ichimaru Gin from the Bleach World, and others.
These old farts in the afterlife had nothing to do all day and loved pestering Jin for news about the living world.
Especially since most of them were former Kage of their villages.
So they were particularly concerned about the subsequent developments of their own villages.
Not to mention, it was currently the time of the Second Great Ninja War.
These dead old men could send 99+ messages in a minute-
Forcing Jin to activate the mute function.
Originally, Jin planned to mute them today too, to stop these literal dead ghosts from bothering him.
But today he heard something very interesting-
The Senju Clan was going to the front lines.
And Tsunade's brother, Senju Nawaki, was clearly among the troops.
Barring any accidents, Nawaki was going to meet his end in this battle.
Jin immediately realized an opportunity had come!
[Senju Hashirama: Really?! I'll issue a group commission immediately! Jin-kun, you must save my grandson!]
He received a reply almost instantly.
Jin excitedly rubbed his little hands together.
The Chat Group of the Dead Across All Worlds had various functions.
One of them was that by completing commissions for group members, one could receive rewards from them.
Among all these dead old-timers, the abilities Jin coveted the most...
Hashirama's Wood Release was definitely at the top of the list.
'Damn, it beat down that show-off Uchiha Madara and Nine-Tails, the strongest Tailed Beast, like they were grandchildren.'
[Senju Tobirama: Wait, brother! What capability does this kid have to save Nawaki?]
Just then, another group member spoke up.
It was none other than Tobirama, who held a prejudice against the Uchiha until his death.
Jin secretly scoffed.
'Damn, I was almost successful! Senju Tobirama, this damned stirrer of trouble!'
Having fought against the Uchiha Clan his whole life, Tobirama absolutely did not want his brother's unique technique to fall into an Uchiha's hands.
Who knows what Jin would do if he obtained Wood Release.
[Jin: Oh my, as expected of the iron-faced and impartial Second Hokage. Hearing the news that your own grandnephew is about to die, and you're still busy analyzing the pros and cons. I don't really care, though. At most, I'll just livestream his funeral for you two to see.]
After Jin's provocation, Hashirama, with his merciful heart, inevitably panicked.
[Hashirama: Don't stop me, Tobirama! I will not stand by and watch Nawaki die!]
Tobirama, residing in the Pure Land, remained silent for a long time before speaking:
[Tobirama: Uchiha brat, my brother's Wood Release absolutely cannot be given to you. But if you save Nawaki, I can teach you my Water Release Ninjutsu.]
"Pfft!"
Jin in the classroom almost laughed out loud upon hearing Tobirama's words.
[Jin: Second Hokage, is this your attitude when asking for a favor? And are you trying to fob me off like I'm a beggar? What would someone from the Uchiha Clan want with Water Release?]
He really disliked Tobirama's condescending attitude.
'If you're asking for a favor, then show some sincerity! You're already dead, stop putting on airs!'
Just then, another group member spoke up:
[Uchiha Izuna: Haha! Well said, kid! I always said the Senju are no good. Their own descendant is about to die, and they're still here haggling.]
'Well, speak of the ancestor.'
But it was within Jin's expectations.
If Tobirama was the staunchest anti-Uchiha hardliner,
Then Izuna was the staunchest anti-Senju hardliner.
[Izuna: Kid, I'll issue a group commission. Don't bother with that kid named 'Nawaki'. I'll give you my Mangekyo Sharingan.]
Hearing this, Jin's eyes lit up.
Immediately afterwards, a notification sound came:
[Ding! Group member, Uchiha Izuna, has issued a commission task: Stand By and Do Nothing]
[Task Content: Stand by and watch Senju Nawaki die on the battlefield.]
[Task Reward: Mangekyo Sharingan (Uchiha Izuna's Version)]
Seeing the group commission notification, Jin's eyes shone brightly.
Wow, as expected of my ancestor, so generous!
[Tobirama: Uchiha Izuna! Have you gone mad!?]
Tobirama, also in the afterlife, was greatly shocked.
As a qualified politician, from the first day he joined the group, he had been constantly thinking about how to utilize this chat group.
To be precise, how to utilize Jin, the only living member of the chat group.
Although he was a member of the Uchiha Clan, after this period of observation-
Tobirama found that Jin was completely different from Madara.
Madara was the type of overlord who wanted to lead his clan to dominate the world-
Whereas Jin seemed, on a much smaller scale, entirely a self-interested individual.
If that was the case, then he could be used.
If used well, perhaps he could even use him to make Konoha great again.
Therefore, he felt that they shouldn't give Jin too many benefits all at once.
Instead, they should give them at the appropriate times.
That way, they wouldn't spoil his appetite too much.
However, Tobirama never expected Izuna to be so reckless.
He actually directly offered the Mangekyo Sharingan!
[Jin: @Uchiha Izuna, Old uncle, this commission is too simple, it almost makes me feel bad about taking advantage of you. How about I go kill a few Senju Clan's members to vent your anger for you?]
Hearing Jin's words, the expressions of several Senju Clan members in the group changed dramatically.
'Damn, don't you know we're still here?!'
[Izuna: Haha! Kid, you suit my taste! No need! I just can't stand that Senju Tobirama! I love contradicting him! He killed me, so I'll get back at him through his grandnephew! Remember to start the group livestream during the funeral, I want to watch this good show properly!]
