"Live broadcast, live broadcast… So this is its true meaning."
Uchiha Sasuke's gaze was fixed tightly on his own figure in the screen, which reflected his every move and expression like a mirror, sending a jolt through his heart, his astonishment clear to see.
The moment he opened the live broadcast function, he realized his existence had been completely exposed.
For a ninja, concealing one's own information was undoubtedly the top priority, yet here he was, exposed as if in broad daylight with nowhere to hide—how could this not make him panic?
Uchiha Sasuke instinctively moved to turn off the live broadcast, his finger already hovering over the button, ready to end this sudden "exposure" with a single tap.
But just then, an unexpected notification made him pause.
[Group Announcement] "Congratulations to group member Uchiha Sasuke for successfully activating the live broadcast function. Special reward: 100 points!"
This message was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples.
Uchiha Sasuke's finger froze in midair, a strange emotion welling up inside him.
Though he still did not understand the exact purpose of these points, he could easily infer their importance from the tone of the announcement.
After a moment of hesitation, Uchiha Sasuke ultimately did not press the close button.
He consoled himself by thinking that he was only traveling right now, with no important information to leak, and perhaps this way he could earn more points—why not?
At the same time, the other members of the chat group had also received Uchiha Sasuke's live broadcast and appeared one after another, buzzing with discussion.
Tony Stark spoke first: "Hey, so it's a kid! Judging by his age, he's probably still a ninja apprentice, right?"
Fushiguro Megumi raised his own question: "That ninja outfit, could it be the uniform of some special operations unit? It looks pretty distinctive."
Haibara Ai was even more perceptive: "The trees, the clothing, and that unique atmosphere… It seems we really are witnessing the scenery of another world."
Amid the members' discussion, Uchiha Sasuke's live broadcast caused quite a stir in the chat group.
And he, amid this heated chatter, gradually grew accustomed to this feeling of being watched by everyone, even beginning to enjoy this recognition and acknowledgment from a different world.
Meanwhile, in the world of One Piece, Roy stared intently at the image of Uchiha Sasuke on the screen.
Roy thought to himself, now that there is a chat group, could traveling across worlds and personally visiting the worlds of other members also become possible?
Once this thought took root, it quickly sprouted in his mind.
If it really were possible to travel across worlds, what would that mean?
Roy speculated inwardly.
In the world of Naruto, although the power system in the early stages did not seem as grand as that of the One Piece world, by the later stages, figures like the Sage of Six Paths and the Ōtsutsuki clan undoubtedly raised the ceiling of power to an astonishing height.
More importantly, the world of Naruto seemed to hold the secret to immortality, with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki herself having achieved a form of eternal life.
"Eternal life… What a tempting word." Roy muttered to himself, a blazing light flickering in his eyes.
In the world of One Piece, despite the abundance of powerful individuals, the fragility and finiteness of life remained an unavoidable reality.
And if he could somehow reach for immortality, what a stunning achievement that would be!
Roy knew that all of this was still only in the realm of speculation and fantasy, but he was already eager to explore the full potential of this chat group.
Perhaps, hidden within this seemingly unremarkable platform, lay the key to infinite possibilities.
And he, Roy, was determined to become the one who unlocked its secrets and pursued eternal life.
On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke carefully explored the various functions of this mysterious chat group while keeping pace with Team 7.
According to their client, Tazuna, this mission was merely a simple escort job with no real danger.
"Sasuke, focus."
Just as Uchiha Sasuke's thoughts began to drift, wandering away from the mission, the calm yet firm voice of Hatake Kakashi suddenly sounded in his ear, instantly pulling him back to reality.
Uchiha Sasuke gave a start, then nodded solemnly, reminding himself inwardly.
Regardless of the mission's size, as a ninja of Konoha Village, he had to give it his all without the slightest slack or carelessness.
He resolved to put the wonders of the chat group aside for now, and once the mission was complete and he had some free time, he would study it more carefully.
"Sasuke, what's wrong with you today? You seem distracted." Haruno Sakura approached him with concern, having keenly noticed his unusual behavior, her eyes filled with worry.
"Hehe, Sasuke, you're not scared by your first real mission, are you?" Naruto said in his usual carefree, teasing manner.
"Idiot." Uchiha Sasuke retorted without mercy, though his tone carried a hint of playfulness.
...
Meanwhile, the members of the chat group were intently watching the banter and squabbling of Team 7 along the way, their faces showing nothing but amazement.
Watching a live broadcast across worlds, this unprecedented experience left them both awestruck and excited, as if they themselves had become part of this vast ninja world.
But just as everyone thought Uchiha Sasuke and Team 7 would continue their journey peacefully, a sudden attack shattered the tranquility.
Though the assault came swiftly, thanks to the seamless coordination of Uchiha Sasuke, Naruto, and the others, they dodged it quickly and nimbly.
At the same time, Hatake Kakashi, with lightning speed, cleanly neutralized the attacking enemy, showcasing his formidable strength as an elite jōnin.
This scene not only made the members of Team 7 breathe a sigh of relief, but also gave the chat group members their first taste of the harshness of a different world.
