This is an Actor: I already tried before—my powers can't be uploaded.
Doujin Artist: Can't be uploaded? Why not?
This is an Actor: Probably because my role as Aizen isn't at 100% yet, so the system doesn't recognize these powers as truly mine.
He had already uploaded everything he had experienced since arriving in the Naruto world, including details about the system he possessed.
Doujin Artist: Damn it! So there's a limit? We could've had instant power-ups!
Amegakure Village's Angel: Just focus on your training. Didn't you say you wanted to break through to another realm?
Doujin Artist: Ah, I gave up. I just can't stand that boring life. Training once in a while is fine, but doing it all the time? No way.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: You decided yesterday, and you're already giving up today?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: That's classic lazy Eriri.
Doujin Artist: Who's lazy?! I wanted to get stronger to deal with Aizen, but now I have no motivation! What else am I supposed to do? Honestly, I feel pretty hopeless too.
This is an Actor: You went through all that trouble just to deal with me? I'm touched.
Amegakure Village's Angel: I knew it. I was right not to expect anything from her.
This is an Actor: The word "expectation" should never be used in the same sentence as Eriri.
Doujin Artist: Enough already, you two! What is this, some kind of couple's comedy act? Just because you're in the same world and can rely on each other doesn't make you special!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Eriri-chan, are you jealous?
Doujin Artist: Pfft! As if!
Amegakure Village's Angel: Oh, I see. So Eriri is jealous?
Doujin Artist: I said I'm not! By the way, Anzen-san, now that you can't upload abilities anymore, have you thought about how to make it up to us? Don't think you can just ignore this! Our fragile hearts have been deeply wounded—especially Konan-nee!
Amegakure Village's Angel: I don't really mind. When I found out Aizen was actually Anzen-san, I actually felt relieved. Like a weight had been lifted off my chest.
Doujin Artist: Pfft, Konan-nee! Even if that's how you really feel, you don't have to say it out loud! Shouldn't we be using this chance to extort him a little?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Eriri-chan, you just admitted it yourself.
Doujin Artist: Whatever. The plan's ruined anyway.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Either way, blackmailing someone is wrong.
Doujin Artist: Unbelievable! You got tricked just as badly as us, yet you're still defending him! Konan-nee, you're so biased! No, actually, this is straight-up betrayal!
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Isn't that phrase usually used for men?
Doujin Artist: Times have changed, Mouchou-nee. You can't keep thinking that way! Good-looking guys count too!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Hahaha! But isn't Anzen-san just a kid right now? I think he's younger than me. Konan-nee, don't tell me you have a thing for younger boys?
Amegakure Village's Angel: No, I prefer little girls. So, Anzen-san, please dress up as one.
This is an Actor: ?
Doujin Artist: That's right! Dress up, Anzen-san! If you do, you might win Konan's heart!
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Aizen… in a dress?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Hahahaha! It's happening! I can already picture it!
These idiots.
Aizen's eyebrow twitched, but he kept his face calm.
"No way am I dressing up. If you really want compensation, think of something else."
He knew his act had definitely left a strong impression on the group. So as long as their requests weren't too outrageous, he was willing to oblige.
Doujin Artist: Wow! You said it yourself! We're not even forcing you! Konan-nee, you saw that, right?
Amegakure Village's Angel: Mm. I accept Anzen-san's apology. In that case, there's no need for compensation.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Konan-nee is so kind. But honestly, I think Anzen-san had his reasons. It was all part of playing his role.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: That's true.
Doujin Artist: Since everyone's saying that… ugh, but I still feel kind of frustrated! If a new member joins later and sees this, won't they just laugh at us?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Uh… yeah, probably.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Not probably—definitely.
Li Mochou could already picture it in her mind.
Doujin Artist: No! We can't let that happen! As the senior members, we can't be laughed at by newcomers! That's unacceptable!
Amegakure Village's Angel: So what do you want to do?
Doujin Artist: Anzen-san, can you delete the memories attached to the Naruto world? Specifically, the part about you being Aizen? It should just be our secret!
This is an Actor: I could delete them, but there's no way to keep this hidden forever. That's just not realistic.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: If any newcomers join, let's try not to bring this up. We'll pretend we don't know Anzen-san's identity. Let's see how long we can keep it a secret.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Isn't that basically tricking the newcomers? We're supposed to be a big family. This doesn't seem right.
Doujin Artist: Konan, I wouldn't call it tricking. At most, it's just a harmless joke! Yeah, a joke! Plus, new members join completely at random, so we don't even know if they fit in with our family. What if this time, the Aizen we got wasn't Anzen-san playing a role, but an actual evil person? Imagine the consequences!
Amegakure Village's Angel: Well, that is a possibility… but in the end, Aizen is still Anzen-san.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Konan, have you considered that revealing Anzen's system ability too much might not be a good idea? If the newcomer turns out to be ambitious, it could lead to trouble.
Amegakure Village's Angel: ...You're right. I understand now.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: That was fast! Konan changed her stance so quickly!
Doujin Artist: Pfft! The moment she heard Anzen-san might be in danger, she immediately switched sides. Konan, your "overprotective wife" mode is way too real! At least try to hide it a little! Also, don't forget—Anzen-san is still a kid right now! That's illegal!
