Ye Fan Shows His Prowess

Bang!

The instant Ye Fan's fist connected with the Root Jonin, a deafening sound erupted.

All Ninjutsu, before this punch, turned to dust!

The Jonin's body, in that same instant, completely exploded, blood soaking a large patch of ground.

"Too weak. With you trash, you actually dared to try and take my life? Danzo is far too naive, isn't he?"

Ye Fan sneered, looking exactly like a god of slaughter who had emerged from the depths of hell!

Seeing this scene, everyone instinctively stopped fighting, their gazes fixed blankly on Ye Fan.

That punch just now had been too impactful for them.

That was a Jonin, and he was reduced to dust with a single punch!

The Konoha ninja present were all incredibly shocked. They had never seen such a powerful Taijutsu user!

"He… he… how can his strength be this great?"

"Didn't he just come to participate in the Chunin Exam?"

"With Taijutsu of this level, even Lord Danzo might struggle to contend with him?!"

The few Root Jonin's faces changed drastically, a sense of foreboding filling their hearts.

They had a feeling that not only would they all fall here today, but the entire Konoha would also usher in a major reshuffling!

The Anbu Jonin who had come to protect Ye Fan were also dumbfounded.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Before this, they had never imagined that a child of thirteen or fourteen could possess such a level of power.

"Uchiha… the Uchiha clan truly has many prodigies. Even without a Kekkei Genkai, they possess talent in other areas!"

Tenzo's heart was filled with emotion.

Looking at Ye Fan's calm face, Tenzo was reminded of another genius young man from the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi!

He believed that Uchiha Itachi and Ye Fan were polar opposites.

Itachi was the extreme of using the Sharingan, while Ye Fan was the extreme of Taijutsu.

Although they were powers from two different fields, they were both the absolute peak existences within those fields!

"Stop staring, kill Ye Fan!"

One of the Root Jonin roared:

"Just as Lord Danzo said, Ye Fan is a very dangerous existence, one that can threaten Konoha's peace.

For the sake of the village's peace, we must kill Ye Fan, even if it costs us our lives!"

As the words fell, the remaining five Root Jonin unleashed their strongest Ninjutsu and charged towards Ye Fan.

Instantly, Earth Style, Fire Style, Water Style, all sorts of Ninjutsu filled the air, each carrying a ferocious aura, aiming to kill Ye Fan!

Seeing this, the Anbu Jonin immediately wanted to intervene, but was stopped by Tenzo.

When he saw Ye Fan kill a Root Jonin with a single punch, he finally understood something. It seemed Ye Fan had deliberately led the Root members to this secluded location!

It was as if Ye Fan had known he was being followed from the very beginning, and his purpose in coming here was to deal with them completely!

Thinking of this, Tenzo felt a chill run down his spine, large beads of cold sweat forming.

How confident must Ye Fan be to make such a choice, knowing there were six Jonin involved!

Tenzo stopped the other two Anbu Jonin precisely to confirm his guess.

He stared at Ye Fan, who was in the center of the battlefield, his expression extremely grave.

At this moment, he almost wished he was overthinking things. Otherwise, Ye Fan's appearance truly qualified him to be a destabilizing factor!

Tenzo intensely watched the situation on the battlefield, ready to act at any moment.

Now, he almost hoped Ye Fan would be injured by those five Jonin!

At the very least, that would mean Ye Fan's strength hadn't reached an unmanageable level!

"Honestly, watching you use Ninjutsu, I do feel a bit envious."

Ye Fan said softly as various flashy Ninjutsu flew towards him, "But envy aside, you are no match for me."

"Ninjas of your level are no different from three-year-old children in my eyes."

"Be prepared. Those who kill others will be killed by others!"

Ye Fan leaped forcefully, clenching his fist in one hand as he charged towards the five Jonin.

This seemingly ordinary, unadorned punch shattered all the Ninjutsu with overwhelming force.

Their proud Ninjutsu, under this punch, were like bubbles, shattering at the slightest touch.

Ye Fan's fist did not stop, continuing its advance towards the five Root Jonin.

Before the fist arrived, the powerful wind had already reached them.

Sharp winds lashed against their faces, stinging them.

"Did you die for Konoha, or did you die for Danzo?"

"After all these years, have you never once doubted the correctness of the orders Danzo gave you?"

Ye Fan asked them these last two questions in the final moments of their five lives.

These two questions were destined to remain unanswered forever.

As soon as his voice fell, the sky seemed to erupt in a rain of blood.

All five Jonin from Root perished at almost the same instant!

"This..."

"Is his Taijutsu really within the scope of what a human can achieve?"

Tenzo and the other two gasped, their minds in turmoil and utterly shocked as they watched the scene.

Ye Fan had killed five Jonin from Root with just one punch!

As Anbu ninja, they had completed many missions, seen many strong individuals, and killed many foreign ninja.

But!

This was the first time they had ever encountered someone like Ye Fan!

What surprised them even more was Ye Fan's composure after killing them.

Such calmness couldn't be faked.

Ye Fan, like a peerless expert who had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, made it hard to believe he was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy!

"Hmm? I haven't gone all out for a few days, and my skills have already regressed this much?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly, staring at a drop of blood on his clothes, and muttered.

Tenzo and the others looked at their own blood-soaked bodies with speechless expressions.

No comparison, no harm!

After washing the blood off his clothes, Ye Fan walked towards Tenzo and the others.

Seeing Ye Fan approach, Tenzo and the others unconsciously took two steps back.

After retreating, they felt a little embarrassed, realizing they had been involuntarily afraid in that moment!

"Did the Third Hokage send you to protect me?"

"Mhm... Yes."

"Did Jiraiya seek out the Third Hokage?"

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya has already spoken with the Third Hokage."

Hearing this, Ye Fan knew it was exactly as he had suspected.

He strongly suspected that Jiraiya might have clashed with the Third Hokage or Danzo on his behalf.

Otherwise, given the Third Hokage's indecisive nature, he might have simply let Danzo send people to kill him.

"Alright, thank you for your help just now."

Ye Fan offered his thanks and walked towards the main gate of the Forest of Death.

When he arrived, he saw the figures of Gaara and his two sisters, followed by the trio of Neji.
