Scarlet Lotus Fairy: "Kinda fun"?
Doujin Artist: Oh no. Kotonoha-chan's really gone off the deep end! She's got bloodlust in her eyes! Get a grip, girl!
Machete Girl: Hehehe, I'm perfectly fine~ (voice message)
Doujin Artist: That laugh is *not* what "fine" sounds like!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: She's a killer! She's totally like a slasher villain from a horror movie! 😱
Machete Girl: No way. (blushing face)
Curly-haired Guy: This is nuts! She's like a completely different person now—like someone flipped off her limiter!
Wig Guy: Gintoki, I wanna flip a switch down below too! Can someone tell the staff I need to use the bathroom?
Curly-haired Guy: Shut up! No one cares right now!
Bad Guy from Soul Society: Miss Kotonoha, if you're interested, why not come over to my side? There might be a good fight coming up.
Doujin Artist: Is it about that thing in East Rukongai again?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Don't tell me Hana's already turned against Aizen?
This is an Actor: She wouldn't do that unless she had a sure win.
Amegakure Village's Angel: A dangerous criminal who escaped from a hell-like prison? That means they must be pretty strong.
Soul Society Troublemaker: They're alright. A bit stronger than your average squad captain. Kotoba-chan, wanna join?
Doujin Artist: Pfft! Stronger than a captain, and that's just "alright"?
Cleaver Girl: Sorry for interrupting.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: I just wanna know—how far are we from captain level right now?
This is an Actor: Not that far. If you train on your own based on your talents, maybe ten to a few dozen years.
Curly-haired Guy: So basically you're saying we might as well give up training, right?
Wig Kid: Gintoki, I still think people should have dreams.
Curly-haired Guy: You've got no right to talk about dreams when you were peeing and pooping all over the prison. Just go die quietly, will you? Gentle and kind Hana-nee, please help guide the kids!
Doujin Artist: Oh right, I don't think Hana-nee uploaded her abilities yet! Please help us, Hana-nee!

Soul Society Troublemaker: I won't upload any more shinigami skills—Konan already shared hers.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Hana-nee's energy has four zeroes behind it... that's 30,000 points??
Curly-haired Guy: Whoa, that's a pretty hopeless number.
Amegakure Village's Angel: You can tell how powerful Hana-nee is just by the price of her spiritual energy. No wonder she was the original Kenpachi.
Doujin Artist: Tch, even if we added up everyone's points in this whole group, we probably wouldn't hit 30,000. It's late. I say we all just go to bed.
Wig Kid: A true samurai doesn't give up on their dreams over something . I'm staying up all night!
Shark-Faced Guy: Oh? Mr. Katsura has finally found his dream, huh? That's nice to hear.
Doujin Artist: Whoa! Isn't that Kisame-san?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Kisame-san, who logged off in rage!
Shark-Faced Guy: Rage?
Curly-haired Guy: Don't play dumb. If you weren't mad, why'd you log off? We all saw through you!
Shark-Faced Guy: Ayy, come on. I logged off 'cause I had something to do. No idea why... but Obito suddenly came to see me. Kinda weird.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Obito? What did he want from you?
This is an Actor: Already getting impatient? That's way sooner than I expected.
Doujin Artist: Wait... is this all part of Anran-san's plan?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: I'm curious.
This is an Actor: It's actually simple. I just arranged a few small things that led him to realize Nohara Rin's soul is in my hands. Now, what would Obito do in a situation like that?
Doujin Artist: I get it. He'd become your accomplice?
This is an Actor: I think "partner" sounds better.
Shark-Faced Guy: So that's how it is... But how did he know I was working with you? Even someone like Yakushi Kabuto doesn't know that, right?
Amegakure Village's Angel: I told him using spy bacteria. Also, when you're mad, maybe try not to pout like that... it's kinda creepy.
Kisame froze, face darkening instantly. So he had spy bacteria on him too? And seriously, Konan using spy bacteria just to watch his reactions? That's messed up!
These two are devils, aren't they?!
This is an Actor: Gin, I'm leaving things here to you. Just follow the plan I laid out earlier. Once the Harusame Pirates attack, that's our moment to strike.
Curly-haired Guy: Got it, boss!
Wig Guy: ????? What are you guys talking about?! Boss? Plan? Obito? Group leader, don't tell me you're...
This is an Actor: Yep, I'm the "Aizen Virus" you keep talking about.
After sending the message, Aizen tapped the return button on the glowing screen in front of him.
A glowing portal suddenly appeared, and Aizen's body slowly disappeared into the golden light. When he showed up again, he was already back in the Pure Land of the Naruto world.
In a grand hall, Konan looked at him with a gentle smile and said softly, "Welcome back."
"Yeah, I'm back," Aizen replied, calmly sitting down on the central throne. "Let's move ahead with our original plan now."
