Summoning Technique

"He's a S-rank rogue ninja from our village, Orochimaru, whose name echoes throughout the Ninja World. And he was just killed by a kid participating in the Chunin Exam?"

Sakura felt her worldview, built over many years, shatter in that moment.

Before, she had never imagined that someone who couldn't use Ninjutsu, who possessed no Kekkei Genkai, could be this powerful.

"Ye Fan, just how strong have you become?!"

Sakura stared blankly at Ye Fan, his figure in her eyes growing infinitely taller at that moment.

She seemed to see the future of the young man before her.

She seemed to see the young man before her, stepping on the entire Ninja World!

Sasuke watched as one of the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, was killed, his legs giving out as he slumped to the ground.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his lifelong dream of revenge was hopeless.

Ye Fan was only a year or two older than him, yet his strength was already at the level of killing Orochimaru.

And himself?

He was still here taking the Chunin Exam!

Sasuke tightly clenched his fists and slammed them onto the ground, venting the anger in his heart.

He hated how weak he was, it was the same before, and it was the same now!

"Power, I want power, I want supreme power, power enough to sweep aside everything!"

"Ye Fan's strength can reach this level without the Sharingan, and as a genius prodigy of the Uchiha Clan, there's no reason I can't!"

"I must survive. Only by surviving can I hope to eliminate Ye Fan, this Plague God. Only by surviving can I hope to kill Uchiha Itachi!"

Sasuke scanned his surroundings, searching for the optimal escape route.

From the very beginning, he had been filled with hostility towards Ye Fan. Sasuke believed that Ye Fan had held back outside because of certain constraints, which was why he hadn't gone for the kill.

But now, here in the Forest of Death, where life and death were disregarded, he was certain Ye Fan would definitely make a move to kill him!

"Even Orochimaru wasn't his match, how can I possibly escape this place?"

Sasuke's mind raced, contemplating countermeasures.

He rejected a dozen or so methods that came to mind one after another.

He had thought of almost every possible method, yet he still couldn't find one with even a ten percent chance of survival.

Ye Fan's strength far surpassed his own. If those methods of his were actually implemented in reality, he was certain he would die horribly!

"Sasuke, don't be nervous, I won't kill you."

Ye Fan saw Sasuke gritting his teeth and looking flustered, and spoke with neither joy nor sorrow:

"No matter what, you and I are from the same clan. Even if you did offend me earlier, I wouldn't go so far as to kill you."

Actually, Ye Fan held back a sentence, he didn't want the Uchiha clan to truly be wiped out!

Although Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito were still alive in this world.

But Ye Fan knew they wouldn't have any children. The continuation of the Uchiha bloodline would ultimately fall to Sasuke.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke wanted to say something harsh, but after careful consideration, he didn't utter a single word.

Currently, for him, being able to survive was the greatest fortune.

"Now that Orochimaru is dead, it seems I need to find other ways to quickly improve my strength!"

"If I keep dragging this out, revenge will be a distant dream!"

According to Ye Fan, even Orochimaru was no match for his older brother, let alone himself.

Moreover, there was still the enemy who had just killed Orochimaru standing before him!

Ye Fan glanced at Orochimaru's body, which had been broken into several pieces, and chuckled inwardly: "If I didn't know you were immortal, I might have actually been fooled by you!"

Immediately, Ye Fan leaped to the fragmented body and stomped on one piece, sneering:

"Orochimaru, if you're going to keep pretending to be dead, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I'd like to see if you can still revive after I completely blow your body into mist!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan stomped on another piece of the body.

As he had said, the body he stepped on had completely turned into a bloody mist.

"What?!"

"Orochimaru has already been reduced to this state, and he's still not dead?"

"Is that true or false? Impossible, can such a thing really happen?!"

Sakura and Sasuke heard Ye Fan's words and felt immense disbelief.

They couldn't believe that a person whose body was shattered into several pieces could still be alive!

What happened next made their jaws drop.

They witnessed with their own eyes the severed head lying nearby, which had been lifeless, suddenly open its eyes and speak in a voice that was deeply unsettling.

"Uchiha Ye Fan, it seems you truly know many of my secrets."

As soon as the words fell, his head opened into a huge mouth, and a completely unharmed Orochimaru crawled out from within.

Reborn, Orochimaru licked his lips, his gaze towards Ye Fan growing increasingly sinister.

He had originally planned to spare Ye Fan for the time being, in preparation for his upcoming plans. He intended to deal with Ye Fan after the Konoha Crush Plan was completed.

But it seemed Ye Fan was not giving him that opportunity.

The moment he reappeared, Orochimaru decided to postpone the Konoha Crush Plan.

Completely taking over Ye Fan's body would require time. He planned to fully merge with Ye Fan before commencing the Konoha Crush Plan.

Ye Fan sensed the change in Orochimaru's aura. He noticed that while Orochimaru's presence was still immense, it was different from before.

Furthermore, he discovered a crucial piece of information: Orochimaru's vitality had also significantly weakened!

Ye Fan thought to himself, "It seems Orochimaru isn't truly immortal. Perhaps if I kill him a few more times, he can be defeated."

However, such tenacious vitality also surprised Ye Fan.

After all, in the entire Ninja World, one could hardly find a few people who could survive such a state.

"Orochimaru, I advise you to show me some real skill. If you act like you did before, I'll lose my patience."

"You must show me corresponding value, only then will I allow you to continue living."

"Heh heh, Uchiha Ye Fan, you're the Uchiha I've met with the biggest mouth."

"Since you've said so, I'll play with you seriously then!"

Seeing that it was already dark, Orochimaru's lips curled upwards slightly.

"Summoning Technique!"

Orochimaru bit his fingertip and quickly formed hand seals.

As the smoke dissipated, a purple serpent, exuding a terrifying aura and dozens of times larger than the snakes from before, appeared in everyone's sight.

"This... this..."

Sakura, seeing the purple serpent before her, collapsed onto the ground, her entire body limp. She was so terrified she couldn't speak.

Sasuke's facial muscles twitched. He was equally astonished, exclaiming in disbelief:

"A summoning beast of this caliber... could this be the true power of the legendary Sannin?!"
