Multiversal Chat Group In Minecraft World

Everyone quickly signed the liability waivers and entered the Forest of Death with their assigned Heaven and Earth scrolls. 

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura walked through the dense forest. Unable to hold back any longer, Sakura asked, "Naruto, when did you become so strong? Even the proctor didn't notice your shadow clone." 

Hearing her question, Sasuke—who was always obsessed with getting stronger—also turned to look at Naruto. 

Naruto laughed. "Hahaha! I've always been strong! You guys just didn't notice!" 

Sasuke scoffed and turned away, continuing to walk ahead. 

Inner Sakura raged, *"If you don't want to say, fine! Everyone knows you were always dead last!"* 

But on the surface, she just said, "Let's keep moving," and ran to catch up with Sasuke. 

Suddenly, Naruto stopped in his tracks. "Come out." 

Orochimaru appeared in front of him, smiling. "So, you must be the great man's little brother—Naruto-kun, right? I came to say hello... and to ask Sasuke if he wants to become stronger." 

Naruto already knew that Orochimaru was the one who revived his parents. After everything he had been through, he now felt a deep sense of gratitude toward him. 

"You must be Orochimaru-sama! My big brother already told me about you. Thank you for your help!" 

Orochimaru, however, didn't want to take credit. "No need to be polite. Everything was arranged by that person, and I also gained a lot from it." 

At this moment, Sakura and Sasuke were both on guard, watching Orochimaru warily. The eerie, chilling aura he gave off was extremely unsettling. 

"Naruto! Do you know this guy?" Sasuke asked as he saw Naruto chatting with him. 

Naruto nodded. "This is Orochimaru, one of the Three Legendary Shinobi of Konoha. He can make you stronger. Sasuke, do you want to follow him?" 

Damn, Naruto! You're just handing Sasuke over to Orochimaru like that? Seriously?! 

Naruto turned to Orochimaru and said, "Orochimaru-sama, you can train Sasuke, but please don't take him out of Konoha. Is that okay?" 

"I'm no longer interested in his body, but his chakra is fascinating to me. That includes yours too, Naruto-kun! Chakra that can reincarnate… This might be a way to achieve immortality!" Orochimaru said, looking at Naruto and Sasuke like they were test subjects. 

Naruto wasn't too concerned since he already knew the story. He understood that Orochimaru was just a research-obsessed maniac, and besides, he was strong enough now that Orochimaru wasn't a threat to him. 

But Sasuke, on the other hand, was completely creeped out by both Orochimaru's words and the way he was looking at them. 

What does he mean by "not interested in my body anymore"? So he was interested before?! 

Hello, 911? There's a creep here! Send help! 

That was pretty much what Sasuke was thinking. 

"Since you helped me, I'll cooperate with your experiments. I also want to understand Asura's chakra and how it affects my personality," Naruto said. One reason he agreed was because Orochimaru had helped revive his parents, and another was that in the original story, Asura and Indra's chakra had always influenced him and Sasuke. 

After joining the chat group, Naruto obtained new training techniques and got rid of chakra's mental influence on him. Because of this, he no longer had that love-hate rivalry with Sasuke. 

But he was still worried—what if his chakra awakened one day and completely took over his body? Would he still be himself? That's why he wanted to figure things out. 

"Naruto, what exactly are you trying to do?" Sasuke was clearly unhappy about Naruto casually handing him over to a stranger. 

Naruto got straight to the point. "Haven't you always wanted to achieve your goal? He can help you make it happen." 

Make it happen, my ass! Your brother is a total psycho! If he hadn't been holding back the whole time, Sakura and I would've been visiting your grave by now! 

Hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke's expression changed. This was a sensitive topic for him. "Really? You can really make me stronger?" 

Orochimaru gave a sinister smile. "Of course." 

"Alright! I agree!" Sasuke's thirst for power and hatred toward Itachi made him accept Orochimaru's offer without hesitation. 

Meanwhile, Sakura was still too shaken by Orochimaru's creepy aura to say anything. 

With his goal accomplished, Orochimaru was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. "Here, take this." 

He opened his mouth and spit out the Earth Scroll, tossing it to Naruto. 

Naruto dodged it instantly, looking at Orochimaru with a face full of frustration. "Orochimaru-sama, could you not do that? Can't you find a better way to store things?!" 

Looking at the unidentified liquid still dripping off the scroll, Naruto didn't even want to touch it. 

Orochimaru was momentarily stunned. No one had ever said that to him before… or rather, no one had dared to. 

 "Alright! I'll try to improve it," he said before sinking into the ground and disappearing.
