Chapter 3 - The Admin’s Wild Spin

Humble Admin: Senior, could you reveal your identity? I have an ability that lets me learn intel about a member's world through the group. If I get your name, I can even glimpse your past and future.

Humble Admin: Everything I said earlier came from that. If you are willing, I can tell you your future.

As expected, Yuki thought.

Here it comes, the classic pitch every chat admin brings to the table.

"Ding! I Will Become the Strongest has changed nickname to Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke had no plans to keep hiding. There was no point.

If he was going to tell the admin his name, he might as well switch to his real one.

Humble Admin: Uchiha Sasuke?!!

Humble Admin: Whoa!! Bow to the senior!!

Sniper King: ??? I do not get it, but whatever, follow the crowd. Bow to the senior!!

Agatsuma Zenitsu: Sou ka, bow to the senior!!

Lady Night Baron: +1!!

Uchiha Sasuke: You know my future? Hmph. Even if you do not say it, I will find out.

Humble Admin: That tone... Sasuke-kun, are you still a child?

Uchiha Sasuke: I am six.

Lady Night Baron: Six and already that strong? Thinking about it, my brat is nearly seventeen and cannot even beat his childhood friend. Should I and Yuusaku start over with a fresh account...

Sniper King: Sugoi! Six years old and already posting a technique worth a thousand points. My best shooting talent is only 300.

Humble Admin: Sasuke-kun, the group has a sign-in feature too. You can get anywhere from 1 to 10 points.

Humble Admin: When group activity reaches the next tier, a strengthening feature will unlock. You can spend points to enhance abilities you already have, or unlock abilities you are destined to gain.

Learning Sasuke was six, Amano Ten's tone shifted into something gentle, like coaxing a child.

If she won his favor now, then when he grew up she would have an incredibly strong ally.

As admin, she knew parts of the system no one else could see.

Once activity hit a certain level, the chat would unlock world travel, and it would reveal abilities belonging to other people in that character's world.

For example, if the six-year-old Uchiha Sasuke had enough points, he could redeem Senju Hashirama's cells, or even claim a tailed beast that obeyed him completely.

All in all, points would matter more and more later.

Only the admin knew this. That page was visible to her alone.

Lady Night Baron: Not sure why, but ever since the name Uchiha Sasuke popped up, our admin-sama feels like a certain dog...

Sniper King: Just say it. A simp, right.

"Ding! Sniper King has been muted by the admin for 2 hours."

Lady Night Baron: [hand-over-mouth laugh]

Agatsuma Zenitsu: [sympathy]

Humble Admin: Ahem. That is because you do not understand how strong Uchiha Sasuke is. At nineteen, Sasuke-kun can crush a falling meteor tens of meters wide with his bare hands.

Since the group did not yet support uploading memories as video, Amano Ten simply described the scene from the final movie where Sasuke shattered a meteor with Chidori.

Lady Night Baron: Barehanded meteor smash?! Hiss! Little Sasuke is that amazing?

Yukiko was stunned. Zenitsu had already shocked her when he pulled off a lightning-laced sword art. Now came Uchiha Sasuke, smashing meteors. Good grief.

Agatsuma Zenitsu: So strong. I am so weak...

Usopp, newly aboard Luffy's crew, was stunned too. Forget meteors, he could not even catch a single bullet.

Amano Ten did not mention that the Uchiha would be massacred by Itachi in a year. She knew Sasuke would not believe it. At this stage he adored his brother. Saying it would only scandalize the group and make Sasuke hate her.

Besides, even if she said it, he had no way to change it. He was only six, and the root cause involved Danzō and the Uchiha's pride. No solution existed unless the clan left the Leaf.

That was impossible. Uchiha Madara had split with the clan precisely because they refused to leave the village with him, claiming he had betrayed them.

So it was better to let events unfold, then comfort Sasuke afterward. He would be terribly lonely then. He might even fall for her, the caring older sister figure.

If Sasuke became smitten, an attractive and powerful boyfriend would be hard to resist. Amano Ten could not deny the appeal.

Humble Admin: Sasuke, there is a boy named Uzumaki Naruto in your class. Be good to him. He will be your sworn brother in the future.

She did not call Naruto Sasuke's salvation. With the chat in play, Sasuke might not even turn dark.

But Naruto's kindness toward him was undeniable. The most important benefit, if they got along, that infamous graduation day kiss between them would not happen.
