Orochimaru is dead?

Ye Fan's words left Orochimaru utterly shocked, unable to comprehend.

He racked his brain, unable to understand why Ye Fan knew about his forbidden jutsu, Impure World Reincarnation.

Moreover, looking at Ye Fan, it seemed he knew even more.

For a moment, Orochimaru felt as if he were transparent before Ye Fan, with no secrets whatsoever.

"Orochimaru, aren't you going to summon the First Hokage and the others? If you keep this up, I'll beat you to death!"

Ye Fan punched Orochimaru's body in half, a smile on his face.

Orochimaru, split in two, didn't actually suffer much damage.

A completely unharmed Orochimaru crawled out of the mouth of his old body.

The newly born Orochimaru stared intently at Ye Fan, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

No matter how much he thought, no matter how hard he wracked his brain, he couldn't figure out how Ye Fan had gotten this information.

Ye Fan, this boy of thirteen or fourteen, became increasingly unfathomable, impossible to see through.

"Not only is his strength immense, but he also knows so many of my secrets. Has he been monitoring me all along?"

"Impossible. If he had been monitoring me, I would never have been unaware of his presence!"

The more Orochimaru thought, the more unbelievable it became. He had never felt so troubled before!

Sasuke and Sakura, watching from the sidelines, gasped as they saw Ye Fan so easily overpowering Orochimaru.

They even wondered if they were dreaming, unable to believe that Ye Fan, a boy without any Kekkei Genkai, could be thrashing the legendary Sannin.

If they hadn't personally experienced Orochimaru's terror just moments ago, they might have thought Ye Fan was beating up an ordinary person with no ability to fight back!

"Ye Fan... how can you be this strong? It's fake, this must be fake!"

Sasuke's eyes were vacant, unable to face the reality.

A question suddenly arose in his mind: facing an enemy like Ye Fan, could he truly achieve revenge in this lifetime?

For a moment, Sasuke was lost in endless doubt.

Ye Fan's strength far surpassed his understanding.

"Shadow Snake Hand!"

Orochimaru extended his hands, and a dense swarm of snakes surged out, flying towards Ye Fan.

"Orochimaru, do you think using such a method can kill me?"

Ye Fan waved his hand casually, and all the snakes were severed, losing all their vitality.

Orochimaru's expression grew grim as he retreated rapidly, creating distance between himself and Ye Fan.

In the time he had been fighting Ye Fan, he had used almost every technique at his disposal, except for a few ultimate moves.

Yet, even so, he was still unable to inflict any damage on Ye Fan.

He even felt that Ye Fan wasn't even using much of his strength!

Orochimaru's gaze towards Ye Fan also changed, his heart becoming very conflicted.

It seemed Ye Fan's physique was far superior to Sasuke's. He even suspected that Ye Fan's Taijutsu could rank in the top five in the current ninja world!

However, he desperately craved the Sharingan.

The Sharingan was the Kekkei Genkai he longed for!

At this moment, how he wished Ye Fan was also an Uchiha clan member with the Sharingan.

That way, he wouldn't be so conflicted.

Seeing Orochimaru's greedy gaze, Ye Fan chuckled, "Are you conflicted about whether to permanently use my body or Sasuke's body?"

"Heh heh, Orochimaru, instead of daydreaming, you'd be better off thinking about how to escape my grasp today!"

"Uchiha Ye Fan, I really like your personality. And I really like your body."

"I'll reluctantly take this body of yours!"

Orochimaru planned to obtain Ye Fan's body first and then see how much Sasuke could grow later.

If Sasuke's physical condition was too far behind Ye Fan's in the future, he would transplant Sasuke's Sharingan into Ye Fan's body.

"Shuriken Clone Technique!"

Orochimaru threw over a dozen shuriken, which instantly transformed into hundreds, attacking Ye Fan from all directions, blocking all his escape routes.

Ye Fan stood in place, a playful smile on his face.

He clearly sensed that the Orochimaru currently before him was just a mud clone, and the real Orochimaru was hidden among the shuriken.

"You want to take my body through this surprise method?"

"Perhaps if it were someone else, they would have a hard time discovering the trick, but I'm different!"

A long time ago, Ye Fan had discovered a problem: he could sense others' chakra using the "Qi" he cultivated within his body.

However, others couldn't sense the "Qi" contained within him using Chakra.

This led many to misunderstand him, believing he was merely a practitioner of Taijutsu!

In reality, what others didn't know was that while he couldn't use the "Qi" stored within him to cultivate Ninjutsu, he could utilize it to emit another, more destructive light wave.

Ye Fan had privately tested this light wave a few times, and its power far exceeded his expectations.

He had once leveled dozens of mountains with this very light wave!

Even now, Ye Fan rarely used that light wave, as his current strength was insufficient to control it perfectly.

Using it rashly could very well result in friendly fire!

"Uchiha Ye Fan, become my Vessel obediently!"

The shuriken, which Orochimaru had transformed into, flew to Ye Fan's neck in the blink of an eye.

As long as it could cut his neck, he could enter Ye Fan's body through the wound and become the new master of this body!

"Hmph!"

Ye Fan snorted, first swatting away all the shuriken with a slap, then pinching the shuriken that Orochimaru had transformed into with his fingers.

"Discovered? What a shame!"

Orochimaru lamented, preparing to revert back.

But no matter what he did, the Transformation Technique seemed to have failed, and he couldn't turn back into human form.

This surprised Orochimaru greatly.

Crack...

Ye Fan flicked his finger, and the shuriken instantly chipped in a few places. Orochimaru felt immense pain but couldn't cry out.

Feeling the shuriken tremble slightly between his fingers, Ye Fan knew Orochimaru was enduring inhuman suffering.

At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly had a bold idea.

If he shattered this shuriken into dust, could the supposedly immortal Orochimaru still revive?

Ye Fan thought it over carefully and decided against playing with fire. If he accidentally killed Orochimaru, who would use Impure World Reincarnation to summon his parents?

After all, in this era of the ninja world, Orochimaru was the only one who knew this Ninjutsu.

Ye Fan squeezed hard, and the shuriken shattered into pieces, falling to the ground with a pat.

The moment the shuriken left his grasp, it transformed into bloody chunks of flesh.

By the time it hit the ground, Orochimaru was already dismembered, reduced to fragments.

"This... this... Orochimaru is dead? That's impossible!"

"How could Orochimaru possibly be killed by you!"

Sasuke stared intently at the calm-faced Ye Fan, involuntarily taking a few steps back.

He couldn't believe that Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, had been killed by Ye Fan just like that!
