Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

But combat power, well...

"No, what level is this exactly?"

Sasuke Uchiha watched it over and over again, but he really couldn't tell. In this short video, the combat power of these two things was not shown at all, because they didn't have any impact on the surroundings at all.

If we're talking about distinguishing based on charisma and presence, Bruce's video was shot with normal technology, and watching it doesn't give you the feeling of being there in person, or the ability to actually experience that magnificent power.

As for performance, there's not much of a direct demonstration in the video.

but……

Although Sasuke Uchiha wanted to stubbornly insist that these two guys had no offensive destructive power at all and probably had no strength at all, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Very strong, incredibly strong, truly extremely strong!

"What speed was that?!"

The Sharingan with its three tomoe in both eyes was focused to the maximum extent. Such eyes were, at least in terms of dynamic vision, 100% invincible in the ninja world.

Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, according to the information Orochimaru gathered, it seems that the upgrade of the Mangekyou Sharingan is mainly in ninjutsu, and its dynamic vision is actually not much different from that of the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

With such eyes, even if the legendary god of ninja were to be resurrected, Uchiha Sasuke would be confident that even if his body couldn't keep up, at least his eyes could see the other party's movements, just like how he was looking at Orochimaru now.

All of everyone's movements seemed to be slowed down in front of the three-tomoe Sharingan.

But this time it didn't work. This time, even with the video slowed down to the maximum, he still couldn't see how the two people in the video flew away.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides that were fighting in the city just a second ago had instantly flown away from the city by countless millions of meters.

Are you kidding me? How could anyone possibly have that kind of speed?

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "No matter how many times I watch it, Uncle Kassapa is just ridiculously strong. Even now that he has been through the battle between Father of Ultra and Emperor, I still think so."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Hey, by the way, @Movie.Emperor, Jianzi, didn't you say before that you were preparing to film Uncle Casa's TV series? Wouldn't it be great if you gave Mr. Rom and the others the clip that Uncle Bruce recorded as a reference?"

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "With this reference, we'll definitely be better able to understand how to shoot Ultraman battle effects and flight scenes that are closer to realistic, right?"

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "After all, when you were on your side, Uncle Kasa didn't engage in any melee combat at all. He just used a Guillotine and then immediately unleashed the M87 beam, crushing everyone from the start. You definitely don't have any melee combat data on your side."

[Actor]: "Hmm? Oh right, you reminded me, Uncle Bruce, over here! Send me a red envelope, I need to take the physical video to Mr. Rom and the others."

【I am Batman】: "Okay, sent it."

【I am Batman】: "So, Sasuke, what are your thoughts?"

[King of Stress Relief]: "Fake."

[Coward]: "Huh?"

[King of Stress Resilience]: "It's all fake, all of it is fake."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "What does this mean?"

[Resilience King]: "There is no one in the world who can move at a speed that can escape the visual lock of the Sharingan. I have figured it all out. This is a hoax. You have created something like a movie."

[King of Resilience]: "Either you used a special teleportation ninjutsu that leaves no trace, or you used some kind of editing technique. Anyway, it's fake. Heh, you think you can fool me? If the editing is too exaggerated, that's your weakness."

[King of Resilience]: "How dare they try to deceive me, who possesses the invincible Sharingan? How foolish! How utterly ridiculous!"

Uchiha Sasuke sneered.

Given that the dynamic vision of the three-tomoe Sharingan is unparalleled, anything that one cannot see clearly must be fake. What a simple and clear logical statement!

Don't think he doesn't know about movies. Before his clan was wiped out, his family took him to see a movie once or twice, so he has a basic understanding of this kind of thing.

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Uh, so after watching this video, your logic is that because you can't see Uncle Kassa's flight speed, he must be fake?"

[King of Stress Resistance]: "What else?"

If anything is wrong, it's not Uchiha Sasuke who's wrong, but the chat group, the other people in the chat group, and the fake video!

【I am Batman】: "You are invincible, kid."

What a promising talent!

Bruce couldn't help but want to applaud Sasuke.

In fact, he had occasionally thought about finding an assistant, so that when several supervillains were causing trouble in different places at the same time, he wouldn't be too busy to deal with them all, and ultimately one of the plans would succeed.

He'd even thought of a name: his assistant's hero name would be "Robin" to the public.

But he could never find a suitable candidate, because once someone became his assistant, he would inevitably have to face the Joker, who was no longer human. If one's will was not strong enough, the assistant would only be recruited by the Joker.

But someone like Sasuke is just right.

Self-centered, arrogant, extreme, and immature!

Just like Bruce, he's a mentally unstable person. Precisely because he's mentally unstable, he's absolutely not going to be persuaded by the Joker.

It's a pity Sasuke isn't from Gotham, otherwise he could have had an extra Robin right then and there. What a shame.

[Coward]: "That's not a movie, you know!"

[Coward]: "I'll send you a real tokusatsu movie to watch, and you'll see how big the difference is when you compare them."

[Coward]: "Hello? Hello? Are you there? Are you still there, Sasuke?"

Sasuke isn't here, thank you.

"Lord Orochimaru is back."

Pushing up his glasses, the classic, scholarly-looking Kabuto Yakushi arrived at the waterfall to summon Sasuke. Every time Orochimaru returned from an outing, he would first meet with Sasuke to check on Sasuke's condition.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha merely glanced coldly at Kabuto Yakushi, snorted, and said nothing. Without needing a guide, he headed towards Orochimaru's location.

Should we expose that weird chat group?

No... if Orochimaru figured it out, then expose it; if he didn't, then hide it.

Although that thing is very strange and repeatedly tries to deceive me, who has the great Sharingan, with the most low-level and trashy tricks, it might be of some use in the future when I resist Orochimaru's possession.

Uchiha Sasuke silently arrived at the training ground of this secret base. Orochimaru, who looked fair-skinned and beautiful, was already waiting there. When he saw Sasuke coming, he immediately slid over and put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder, carefully sensing the strength of the container.

"It seems that you've fallen a bit behind while I was away, Sasuke-kun."

Orochimaru frowned slightly. Although he was generally satisfied, he still felt it wasn't good enough: "I'll stay here from now on. Get ready for special training. If you want revenge, your growth rate needs to be at its fastest. You know that, right?"

"You don't need to tell me that!"

Sasuke Uchiha coldly replied, "I can endure anything to defeat Itachi!"

"very good."

Orochimaru smiled; he liked Sasuke's stubbornness.

The exchange ended there—although aside from the agreed-upon possession, the two were effectively master and disciple, Sasuke never felt he had anything to say to Orochimaru.

Whenever Orochimaru didn't initiate a conversation, he would remain quiet in front of Orochimaru.

But this time, Sasuke broke this tradition.

He remained silent, recalling the video from the chat group earlier. Although he knew in his heart that it was fake, he couldn't help but ask, "Orochimaru... just how strong does one have to be to be considered truly powerful?"

Chapter 144 Showa Team Assemble, I am Iida Izuru.

"How strong does one have to be to be considered strong? Good question. It seems you're deep in thought, Sasuke."

Orochimaru praised Sasuke in a sinister, serpentine voice. Although it was a plan to possess Sasuke's body sooner or later, which would inevitably lead to the child's death, it was a last resort.

If we disregard the benefit of possession, he genuinely valued and liked this child quite a bit.

Now that he saw that the child seemed to be delving into the realm of philosophy, he was naturally delighted and willing to have a good talk with the child.

"The concept of strength is always based on comparison. If it were you, Sasuke, you would definitely think that being stronger than Itachi Uchiha is what constitutes strength, right? So, for you, as long as you haven't reached that level, you can't be considered strong as you perceive it."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded involuntarily. He knew this without Orochimaru needing to point it out, but that wasn't what he wanted to know right now.

"how about you?"

Sasuke Uchiha asked, "What is strength in your eyes, Orochimaru?"

Standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world, on par with the Five Kage, and as one of the Legendary Sannin, what kind of world does Orochimaru see, and what does he yearn for?

Uchiha Sasuke was very curious.

Before this, he didn't care at all what Orochimaru thought. But today, Bruce's comments and videos in the chat group threw his thoughts into disarray, and for the first time, he briefly shifted his focus away from revenge.

"Is that what I consider powerful...?"

Orochimaru paused for a moment. This was the first time anyone had ever asked him about this topic. Not even his master, his former companions, or his subordinates had ever paid attention to his thoughts.

While Yakushi Kabuto, Kimimaro, and others were indeed loyal, they held him in more awe than shared his ideals, and never dared to probe his thoughts.

However, although no one had asked him, it wasn't a difficult question to answer. After all, he had set his goal in this area many years ago, and all these years, he had simply been steadily moving towards that goal of becoming "powerful".

"Do you know how fragile humans are, Sasuke-kun?"

Orochimaru slightly raised his left hand, his long-nailed fingers lightly tracing his neck, and chuckled lightly with a mocking tone, "One kunai, one explosive tag."

"It never requires advanced ninjutsu, nor does it require natural disasters like earthquakes or tsunamis. Even ninjas with the power of the Hokage, apart from the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi, are just people who can die so easily."

"A stab to the brain will kill you, a stopped heart will kill you, lack of oxygen will kill you, and excessive blood loss will also kill you. Even if you manage to escape these with your so-called powerful ninjutsu, you will still fall before the end of your life a hundred years later."

"You ask me what strength is? Then I will only tell you, Sasuke-kun—it is immortality. Only immortality is true strength. If you cannot escape your current weak lifespan and body, even the so-called Sannin are nothing but a handful of dust, meaningless."

Orochimaru gently closed his eyes, his mind flashing back to the scenes of being overwhelmed and defeated by Pain and Itachi Uchiha.

Those things weren't really important to him.

His covetousness for the Sharingan and Rinnegan wasn't actually for their immense power, but rather because these eyes were ancient and held many secrets unknown even to him.

Each of those secrets could potentially help him uncover more new knowledge, make developments and breakthroughs in scientific research, and thus develop technological achievements that are closer to immortality than the Impure World Reincarnation and the Undying Reincarnation.

Throughout his life, he had lived in a daze, but after seeing Tsunade's younger brother, Senju Nawaki, killed by an explosive tag, he realized that the closer one gets to immortality, the more truly powerful one becomes.

"If an opportunity for immortality were presented to me now, requiring me to offer up all my power, all my ninjutsu, and all my chakra as the price, I can tell you clearly, Sasuke, that I would make the deal without hesitation."

"Even if I were given only a portion of the knowledge needed to achieve immortality in exchange for this chance to live forever, I would not hesitate for a moment."

"On the other hand, if it were a deal that deprives me of the possibility of immortality but grants me the power to defeat the entire ninja world on my own, I would never accept such a deal."

"So, do you understand now, Sasuke-kun?"

Immortality is greater than knowledge, and knowledge is greater than power.

This is him, this is Orochimaru.

Sasuke Uchiha frowned, slightly puzzled. "Why do you value immortality so much? And if you achieve immortality, what are you planning to do after that?"
