As Aizen in Naruto and Joined a Chat Group

[Notice: Skirt-Flipping Maniac recycled a Zanpakuto and received 100 points.]

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Waaah, my sword!

Doujin Artist: ?

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Did you just recycle your own sword?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: I didn't mean to! I was just curious and clicked it! What do I do?! Can I buy it back??

This is an Actor: Nope, once it's gone, it's gone.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: AAAAAH I'M SO DUMB! I'M ACTUALLY SO DUMB!

Doujin Artist: If there's no other way, you'll just have to buy a new one.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: But I could hear that sword talking to me… This sucks!

Saten Ruiko grabbed her hair with both hands, looking completely frustrated.

Being able to hear the Zanpakuto's voice meant she was close to learning its true name. At this rate, she should be able to complete the initial release soon.

But this sudden disaster ruined everything. All the effort she had put in recently went to waste. If she had to switch to a new sword, there was no telling how long it would take to get back to this point.

Curly-haired Guy: Don't even talk about it. My sword hasn't shown any sign of awakening... It's even worse!

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: I can't even use a sword.

King Kong didn't hate his big gorilla look. In fact, he thought it looked pretty cool. But he wasn't happy with how huge his body was — it got in the way of his dream of becoming a swordsman.

Machete Girl: By the way, what's this recycling thing really about?

Amegakure Village's Angel: I think it lets you trade stuff you don't need for points.

This is an Actor: Yeah, but the stuff you recycle has to meet certain rules. First, the item must have value. Whether it has value or not isn't up to us — it's judged by the system rules. If it has no value, it'll show up in grey when you open the recycle screen.

Machete Girl: I see. Then what about the red ones?

Katsura Kotonoha was standing in the Operations Department building. The entire floor was a dull grey, but there were flashes of red Madara here and there. It looked strange but also kind of beautiful.

Besides those red Madara flashes, she also saw a blue glow from her Zanpakuto. No doubt about it — blue meant the item could be recycled.

This is an Actor: Red means the item does have value and can be recycled. But according to the rules, you don't own it. To recycle it, you need to make it yours first.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: I get it now.

Li Mochou looked down at the icy jade bed under her, which was glowing blue, and nodded slowly. Besides the bed, the martial arts manuals she had placed on her desk were also blue.

She thought the recycle system was actually pretty nice.

You didn't even need to study the items first — you could just recycle them right away. Super convenient.

Curly-haired Guy: So if I take something by force, does that count as mine?

This is an Actor: Of course it does.

Curly-haired Guy: Heh, perfect.

Gintoki Sakata stared intently at the Zanpakuto in Katsura's hands, clearly tempted.

This is an Actor: But recycling gives you way fewer points than selling through the trade zone — maybe only about one-fifth of the value. Once something is recycled, it's gone forever. There's no way to get it back, no matter what.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Waaah, I'm seriously gonna cry!

Doujin Artist: Sigh... Poor Ruiko-chan has to start all over again. At least she didn't recycle her own powers.

This is an Actor: Don't worry — you can't recycle powers, skills, or bloodlines anyway. Those can only be uploaded. Only items can be recycled. Also, things like manuals and scrolls can't be recycled over and over.

Like if you had a martial arts manual and made ten copies — only one of them would count for recycling. The other nine would be worthless.

Of course…

If you had the skill to rewrite or evolve that same manual or scroll into a new version, that new version could also be recycled — as long as it's actually different. But you'd need talent for that.

Shark-Faced Guy: Even with all these limits, this system gives us a new way to earn points.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: True. With a system like this... if you're willing to put in the time, earning points is actually pretty doable.

Just like taking over all the major sects in the world and looting their libraries. Even if each secret manual only sells for one-fifth of the price in the trading zone, once you pile them up, it still adds up to a lot.

Uchiha had also thought of this and sighed inwardly.

To be honest, this feature kind of encourages looting and invading in a roundabout way, which he wasn't really a fan of. But he didn't say anything and let the group members decide for themselves how to act.

Doujin Artist: I just realized we can recycle beast corpses on our side too?

This is an Actor: Corpses are items too. If they're valuable, of course they can be recycled. Actually, it's not just corpses. Sharingan from the Naruto world, fragments of the Spirit King from the Bleach world — all of those can be recycled too.

Soul Society's Bad Guy: The key still lies in how the group rules define it.

Amegakure Village's Angel: All the new features in this update are pretty nice. The personal space thing is especially useful.

This so-called personal space is basically a private locker for each group member. It's not that big, about the size of a regular home wardrobe. But if needed, you can spend points to make it bigger.

It's really easy to use too — just control it with your mind.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Nice. No more need to carry backpacks when going out.

Doujin Artist: Don't even need to carry our Zanpakuto anymore. Hands free!

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: I miss my Zanpakuto. I'd rather hug it every day! It's so pretty, and it cuts so smoothly!

Doujin Artist: Smooth when cutting? What the hell? It's a sword, not shampoo!

This is an Actor: Ruiko, is that a bow on your sword handle?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yep! I even chose a purple ribbon… wait, how does Anran-san know that?!

This is an Actor: [Picture]

In the photo, Anran, dressed as Uchiha Madara, is holding a Zanpakuto with a light blue hilt. In the middle of the handle, there's a purple ribbon tied in a bow.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: That's my sword! Why is it in Anran-san's hand?!

This is an Actor: Your sword was adorable. Now she's mine.
