I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 267 News from the Dragon World

Naruto's character is still trustworthy.

Given his friendship with Uchiha Hikaru, there shouldn't be any need to worry about leaks if he reveals a little about other worlds to him.

but……

Traveling through the world is ultimately a bit too dangerous for a child, so we should be as cautious as possible if we really want to do it. We should also consult his real guardian, Minato Namikaze.

As Uchiha Hikaru was thinking this, he flipped the grilled meat with his chopsticks and tagged Namikaze Minato in the group chat, exchanging a few words with him about Naruto.

[Anonymous: So, Mr. Minato still doesn't plan to tell Naruto that his father is the Fourth Hokage?]

[Anonymous: I don't really think there's any need to hide it, since he'll find out sooner or later anyway.]

[Nagato: Indeed... but let's wait a little while. In the meantime, please have Ms. Hikari temporarily take my place and convey what I want to say to Naruto. If one day in the future, Kushina and I can stand before him in person, then I will tell him everything exactly as it is.]

[Yongdai-chan: As for what you said about taking Naruto to other worlds... if Miss Bulma and the others don't mind, I have no objection.]

Bulma certainly wouldn't mind.

[Bulma: No problem, my house is quite big. It can fit Naruto, or even Hikaru bringing the entire Uchiha clan... I can take him to see Goku; they're about the same age, they should get along well.]

—To be precise, Goku is almost a full twelve years older than Naruto, but their mental ages are probably only a few years apart.

Tanjiro also chimed in at the opportune moment:

[Iron-Headed Kid: Hmm... If Naruto came to my place, my mom, Nezuko, and Mr. Tomioka and Mr. Ubuyashiki would probably be happy to help take care of him.]

[Oni Princess: Me too [raises hand.jpg]]

[Oni-hime: But it might not be safe for me here, because my father Kaido and the Three Disasters could return from the sea at any time... Let's wait until Hikari and Bulma's pirate crews are formed and they take me out of here.]

[Yongdai Mei: ...I am deeply grateful for everyone's kindness.]

When several people started talking about visiting each other.

Erii also chimed in, mentioning something else—

[Little Monster @ Anonymous: Light, are you there?]

[Little Monster: That Xia Mi just messaged me again. She said the people from Kassel College have discovered clues about the "Bronze City" and are trying to find it in the Three Gorges area... She's planning to go check it out and asked if you want to come along?]

[Anonymous: Oh?]

This wasn't the first time Erii had received a message from Natsumi.

Two weeks ago, when Uchiha Hikaru was still with Itadori Yuujin, Natsumi had contacted Erii and mentioned the "Fire King's Anomaly." However, at the time, Uchiha Hikaru was busy capturing the four cursed spirits, so she declined, planning to go and check on it after dealing with the cursed arts.

And now...

Is Constantine about to wake up?

"And Lu Mingfei, he's probably enrolled already?"

In that case... it might be worthwhile to take some time to visit the Dragon World and try to make contact with the Secret Society, and perhaps see if we can obtain some fresh Dragon King blood samples. The two blood samples we got from Xia Mi and Fenrir last time are almost used up after Orochimaru, Dr. Gero, and the others have been researching them recently.

[Anonymous: I told her I'd be there around the next day or two, and asked her to confirm a meeting place with me.]

Anonymous: Also...

[Nameless: Sorry, Yamato, I might have to wait a few days before I can go see you. But don't worry, Ace should be fine for now.]

Yamato was a little disappointed after receiving Hikaru Uchiha's reply.

But soon, another thought popped into her head—

[Oni Princess: By the way, I haven't been to Erii-san's place yet. That world must be really fun, right? Can I go and see it too? That way, even if my father comes back, he won't be able to punish me.]

[Anonymous: Hmm...you'll have to ask Erii first.]

It seems that Yamato has become addicted to running away from home.

That makes sense.

Whether it's Dragon Ball, Red Dead Redemption, or the Jujutsu world, they're all more comfortable than staying on Onigashima. And in these worlds, Yamato has made many new friends, such as Goku, Leone, and Nobara Kugizaki… If it weren't for Ace in the One Piece world, she probably wouldn't want to go back.

Erii naturally wouldn't refuse Yamato's request.

However, considering that their journey there might be arduous, Uchiha Hikaru suggested that Yamato wait. They could consider bringing her over after she had settled down in the Dragon Clan world.

[Oni-hime: Okay, I got it.]

After replying to the messages in the group.

Uchiha Hikaru then turned to look at Esdeath beside him, and smiled under her gaze: "Aisdeath, how about we go to another world together? There should be a few opponents there who you can fight to your heart's content."

"?"

Esdeath raised an eyebrow.

And her answer was, of course, without a doubt.

……

That evening, while soaking in the bathtub for about half an hour, Uchiha Hikaru cleared his mind and carefully considered the chat group's add-person function.

Based on the research results...

As the "proxy group owner," she indeed couldn't actively add group members.

However, if one wishes to grant others the ability to travel between worlds, there are indeed some ways to do so.

1500 points can unlock one private chat slot.

"Private chat" means that you can designate a specific person to establish a two-way dialogue channel between you and that person. You can also grant the other person permission to travel to your world or the world of a designated group member—of course, this requires the designated group member's consent, and this function is limited to a maximum of three times per month.

Three times is about right.

After all, even among the official members of the group, apart from a few like Uchiha Hikaru, Bulma, and Erii who like to visit other groups, the others only visit a few times a month on average.

Uchiha Hikaru planned to open a spot for Esdeath first and see how it went.

Anyway, she doesn't use points much, so it should be enough for one or two people.

As for the mechanical pills in the world of sorcery...

Using 1500 points as his "employee onboarding benefit" is a bit too much of a sacrifice. So, it's better to wait until he creates enough value before considering these things.
