There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

[Hashirama Senju: Hehe!]

[Tobirama Senju: Hehe!]

[Madara Uchiha: You two bastards!!! What do you mean by those "hehes"? Are you looking down on this old man?!!!]

[Makoto Ito: Alright, alright, that's enough! Don't you want to see what the outside world looks like now?]

As soon as Makoto Ito finished speaking, the Chat Group fell silent. Even Madara Uchiha stopped speaking.

The next moment, Makoto Ito directly enabled the screen-sharing function, and all members of the group instantly saw the outside world...

At this very moment, they could only see Makoto Ito's appearance through the chat box, then Makoto Ito's small house, and through the house's window, a tiny glimpse of the outside world...

This made them even more certain that the Chat Group truly had this function, that it could really let them see the current Ninja World!

[Hashirama Senju: Oh my god!!! This is truly amazing!!! It's incredible! This old man needs to take a good look at the current Ninja World, this old man needs to take a good look at the current Konoha!!!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Wow, we can really see outside! Naruto! Mommy's here! Group leader, quickly let us see outside! I want to see Naruto!]

[Tobirama Senju: How amazing! I wonder what the little monkey has developed Konoha into now? I believe Konoha must be very strong by now, right?]

When everyone was chatting idly in the group earlier, they had already learned that Minato Namikaze was the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, and that after Minato Namikaze's death, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, had once again taken charge of Konoha. So everyone knew that the current Hokage of Konoha was the Third Hokage!

However, compared to that, Hashirama Senju had quite a few complaints about the death of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!

After all, can that Nine-Tails thing really kill someone?

I used to play with that thing with one hand!

How did a later Hokage just die because he sealed a Nine-Tails?

Isn't that too embarrassing for a Hokage?

To this, Minato Namikaze could only say, You're a monster, I can't compare, can't compare...

Now, everyone was looking at the outside world through Makoto Ito's screen share, all of them pleasantly surprised!

After all, they were all deceased! Being able to see the outside world again was an incredible surprise!

Just as everyone was staring intently at their chat boxes, watching the scenery outside, the screen suddenly went black, and everyone's vision returned to darkness...

[Madara Uchiha: Kid, what are you doing?]

[Hashirama Senju: ????????????]

[Minato Namikaze: What's going on?]

[Izuna Uchiha: Why can't I see anything?]

[Hizashi Hyuga: Did your screens go black too?]

[...]

Seeing the anxious expressions of everyone in the group chat, Makoto Ito smiled, a very happy and very sinister smile. If one had to describe Makoto Ito's smile at that moment, it would be the smile of someone who had eaten ten thousand Soul Palace elders!

"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe..."

[Makoto Ito: Everyone! There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, is there? I believe you were all influential figures, so you must understand this principle!

Want to see the outside world? Of course, that's not a problem! But shouldn't you offer some benefits in return?

After all, I am the group leader of this chat! Look at the current Ninja World, how beautiful it is! Look at every flower, every blade of grass, every tree. Oh my, the air here is so fresh!

Oh dear, through the window, I think I see Naruto and Sasuke!

Oh, my goodness, how wonderful this Ninja World is! Do you want to see it too?]

Upon seeing Makoto Ito's message, the expressions of all the group members in the Pure Land were truly something to behold!

This kid really has a trick up his sleeve!

He first lets everyone see the outside world, and then if they want to continue watching, they have to pay for it, right?

So young, yet so cunning!

First, he tells them that the people they care about aren't doing well, then he demonstrates the group's function, proving that the chat can indeed show the outside world, And then he turns off screen sharing and extorts benefits!

This whole operation was smooth as flowing water, extremely satisfying to watch!

[Makoto Ito: Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell everyone something important!

I can enable screen sharing for specific group members, meaning whoever gives me benefits gets to see what the outside world looks like!

If you don't give any benefits, then your screen will just stay black!]

Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing this!

Originally, everyone thought that if someone offered benefits, this screen sharing would resume, meaning everyone would be able to see outside. But Makoto Ito's words shattered their illusions!

[Madara Uchiha: Damn it!!!!]

[Izuna Uchiha: Damn it!!!!]

[Hashirama Senju: Damn it!!!!!]

[Tobirama Senju: Dammit!!!!!]

[Minato Namikaze: The Group Leader is really sly...]

And so, the chat group fell silent again. Everyone was pondering what they should give.

After all, if the item was too good, they'd be reluctant to part with it. They're not family, they're not friends, so why should I give you my good stuff?

But if the item was too bad, they worried Makoto Ito wouldn't deliver after taking their money!

So at this moment, everyone was deep in thought, waiting to see if anyone would send something first. That way, everyone else would have a reference!

After waiting for a short while...

A notification suddenly popped up in the chat group!

Fugaku Uchiha has gifted the Group Leader proficient-level Three Body Technique!

[Fugaku Uchiha: How about it, Group Leader? This gift isn't bad, right? Hurry up and enable vision sharing for me!]

When everyone saw that someone had sent a gift to the Group Leader first, their faces immediately lit up with joy.

If the gift was only of this level...

Then everyone present had plenty to spare!!! They couldn't possibly run out, there was no end to it!

At this moment, Makoto Ito was struggling to resist muting Fugaku Uchiha!

[Makoto Ito: ??????? What are you talking about?!!!! Three Body Technique??? Are you trying to brush me off like a beggar?!]

[Fugaku Uchiha: Uh... I figured the Group Leader doesn't seem very old, so he probably hasn't graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, right? The Three Body Technique I gifted should be useful to the Group Leader, and mine is at the proficient level too!]

Because the moment they enabled vision sharing, everyone observed the Group Leader Makoto Ito's strength. How should one put it? Even calling him "trash" would be flattering him!

With Makoto Ito's current strength, some members in the group could probably easily crush him with just one finger!
