Acting Style

The three people, including Ino, were horrified. How perverted! They didn't even spare the corpses!

Deidara, however, impatiently demanded, "Do you know who killed Orochimaru?"

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said, "In this base, the only one capable of killing Orochimaru is Uchiha Sasuke."

Upon hearing this name that had haunted her dreams, Sakura's heart began to pound uncontrollably, and her face flushed crimson.

"Uchiha Sasuke... he's Itachi's brother? Perfect! That guy dared to look down on my art back then, saying that no other power is worth mentioning in front of those eyes. I'll see how much of those eyes' power he can unleash as Itachi's brother!"

"Don't underestimate him, Lightning Release is the nemesis of Earth Release!"

Although Uchiha Sasuke a series of power-ups later on, he was a genius to begin with. Under Orochimaru's tutelage and driven by hatred, his strength was worthy of the Uchiha name. In the original timeline, even Deidara's Patrick Star couldn't kill him, which speaks volumes.

Most importantly, he is the owner of one of the two original elemental techniques in the Naruto World, the Acting Style," making him no less powerful than Naruto's " Talk no Jutsu."

"Brother Roy, don't worry. The existence of those eyes is a desecration of art, and I absolutely will not condone it..."

"These clothes... you're from the Akatsuki! Tell me where Uchiha Itachi is!" A cold question interrupted Deidara's declaration. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Uchiha Sasuke blocking the doorway with a lazy-looking young man.

"Following behind Uchiha Sasuke is Hozuki Suigetsu, the genius of the Hozuki Clan from Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water, and the younger brother of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Hozuki Mangetsu of the Mist. It seems that after killing Orochimaru Hozuki Suigetsu, his first act was to release Hozuki Suigetsu and build his own team." Yakushi Kabuto's voice was deep, explaining why Uchiha Sasuke had returned here.

"Sasuke is as handsome as ever!" Sakura and Ino were, as always, in a state of infatuation.

"That's Uchiha Sasuke! He's so young and he's already defeated Orochimaru!" Shizune sighed inwardly, then turned her gaze to Roy: "It's just a pity that compared to this monster, he's far too young!"

On the surface, Uchiha Sasuke remained calm, but in reality, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

He knew very well the strength of Guren and Yakushi Kabuto, and he was even more familiar with the Konoha Village team. Yet, these five people met here, looking resigned to their fate. It seemed that the Akatsuki was even stronger than he had imagined. No wonder Orochimaru was avoiding them.

If it were anyone else, they might have considered retreating temporarily, but Uchiha Sasuke's heart was already filled with the flames of revenge, not to mention that he had inevitably become arrogant because of Orochimaru's defeat.

So, he actually held the Kusanagi Sword in his hand and coldly pointed it at Roy and Deidara: "Tell me where that man is, and I can let you go."

Roy, with his composure, was naturally not going to be provoked by a chuunibyou (delusional) teenager, but Deidara was different. The two brothers' equally indifferent expressions brought his anger to a breaking point.

"Want to know Itachi's whereabouts? Defeat me first!" Deidara waved his hand, blasting a hole in the cave, then leaped onto his giant bird. The cave was too narrow and cramped, which was not conducive to his performance.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced deeply at the group of people following Roy, then jumped onto the cave roof without a word.

Sakura, standing nearby, looked at Roy nervously. "Aren't you going up to fight?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself. Wasn't this just encouraging the other party to join the battle? She knew that compared to the straightforward and chuunibyou Deidara, this unfathomable Roy was undoubtedly more terrifying. Let alone a group attack, even if Sasuke was alone, he would most likely not come out on top.

"No interest. I'll find an opportunity to save Deidara later."

"You... you... you actually think Sasuke will win!" The others looked at Roy in disbelief. Did he really think so highly of Uchiha Sasuke's strength?

"Their strength is roughly equal, but unfortunately, Deidara's own attributes are countered, and his tactics are almost ineffective against those eyes. Defeat is only a matter of time."

Hozuki Suigetsu felt a chill in his heart. The other party gave him a feeling that was far more terrifying than Orochimaru and Sasuke. Moreover, judging from the attitude of the five people behind him, the other party's strength seemed to be far above that of another Akatsuki member.

Hozuki Suigetsu out in despair, "Sasuke, are you just going to throw me into the hands of a monster like this?"

To everyone's surprise, Roy completely ignored his presence and simply looked at Yakushi Kabuto: "Has Orochimaru ever studied Sage Mode?"

"I don't know, but I know where Orochimaru's compiled materials are. If they exist, I can definitely find them in those materials."

"Okay, then go and get those documents for me now."

Boom!

The underground cave shook, and stone chips fell in a flurry, clearly indicating that a battle had begun. The group was itching to go out and see what was happening, but since Roy hadn't given the order, they didn't dare to make any rash moves.

It must be said that, apart from the Second Hokage, Orochimaru is the only true genius in the Naruto World. To achieve immortality and rebirth with the blood of an ordinary person is truly remarkable in a world of pure clan infighting.

According to the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave, if one cannot bear his Natural Energy, the result will be that he will eat them.

Given Orochimaru's cautious and meticulous nature, he would naturally not entrust his life to others, let alone risk death to increase his strength, since everything he does is aimed at staying alive.

Therefore, instead of cultivating immortal arts as the White Snake Sage had instructed, he found another path in Jugo: the cursed seal!

Through Jugo's Sage Body, he not only concluded that Sage Art Chakra is a product of the mixture of physical energy, spiritual energy, and Natural Energy, but also that the three must occupy one-third of the total energy, otherwise one will be unable to activate Sage Mode or be consumed by Natural Energy.

Furthermore, based on this, he developed the Heavenly Cursed Seal, which is easier to control than Sage Mode. In a sense, the Curse Seal is a simplified version of Sage Mode. Orochimaru's innovation actually popularized Sage Mode, which few people in the Shinobi World could successfully cultivate.

Roy closed the scroll in his hand and even began to ponder whether he should wait until he had completed the ultimate goal of this dimensional journey, then bring Orochimaru back to the Pirate World and throw him to Vegapunk for even more insane research.
