Summoning Technique

"He is an S-rank rogue ninja of our village, Orochimaru, whose reputation echoes through the entire ninja world! How could he just be killed like this by a teenager participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams?"

Sakura felt that the worldview she had built over many years had completely collapsed at this moment.

In the past, she had never imagined that a person who could not use ninjutsu and possessed no Kekkei Genkai could become powerful to this extent.

"Ye Fan, just what level has your strength reached?!"

Sakura stared blankly at Ye Fan, his figure towering infinitely in her heart at that moment.

She seemed to already see what the young man in front of her would look like when he grew up.

She felt as if she saw the young man before her stepping the entire ninja world under his feet!

Sasuke watched as Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, was killed, his legs turning to jelly as he collapsed onto the ground.

At that very moment, he suddenly felt that there was no hope of getting revenge in this lifetime.

Ye Fan was only a year or two older than him, yet his strength had reached the point of killing Orochimaru.

And what about himself?

He was still here taking the Chunin Ninja Exams!

Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, slamming them fiercely against the ground to vent the anger in his heart.

He hated himself for being too weak; it was like that before, and it was like that now!

"Power, I want power! I want supreme power, power sufficient to flatten everything!"

"Ye Fan doesn't even have the Sharingan, yet his strength can reach this level. As a talented youth of the Uchiha Clan, there's no reason I can't do it!"

"I must survive. Only by staying alive is there hope to eradicate this Plague God Ye Fan, and only by staying alive is there hope to kill Uchiha Itachi!"

Sasuke looked in all directions and listened to all around, searching for the optimal escape route.

From the very beginning, he had been filled with hostility toward Ye Fan. Sasuke believed that outside, Ye Fan had refrained from dealing a fatal blow to him only because he was wary of certain things.

And now, here in the Forest of Death where life and death didn't matter, he concluded that Ye Fan would definitely strike to kill him!

"Even Orochimaru wasn't his match. Just how am I supposed to escape from this place?"

Sasuke's brain spun at high speed, pondering countermeasures.

Dozen after dozen of methods arose, only to be directly rejected by him.

He thought of almost every possible method, yet still could not find a single one that offered even a ten-percent survival rate.

Ye Fan's strength far surpassed his by too much, and if those methods of his were truly implemented in reality, he dared to bet that he would definitely die a miserable death!

"Sasuke, don't be nervous. I'm not going to kill you."

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

"No matter what, you and I are considered to be from the same clan. Even though you did offend me earlier, I'm not going to resort to killing you."

Actually, Ye Fan still held back one sentence: he did not want the Uchiha Clan to truly become extinct!

Although Uchiha Itachi and Obito still lived in this world to this day.

Yet Ye Fan knew they would not have any children, and the continuation of the Uchiha Clan's bloodline ultimately still depended on Sasuke.

Hearing this, Sasuke wanted to say some harsh words, but after thinking carefully, not a single word escaped his lips.

For him right now, being able to stay alive was the greatest stroke of luck.

"Now that Orochimaru is dead, it looks like I need to find other ways to quickly increase my strength!"

"If I drag this out any longer, avenging my family will be a remote and hazy prospect!"

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

Besides, standing right in front of him was also the enemy who had just killed Orochimaru!

Ye Fan glanced at Orochimaru, who was broken into several pieces, and chuckled inwardly: If I didn't know you possess an Immortal Body, you might have really fooled me!

Immediately, Ye Fan leaped to those pieces of the body, stomped down hard to burst one of them, and sneered:

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

"I want to see if you can still revive after your body is completely blown into a bloody mist!"

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

Just as he said, the stepped-on torso had completely transformed into a bloody mist.

"What?!"

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

"For real? No way, is such a thing even possible?!"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Sakura and Sasuke felt utterly incredulous.

They couldn't believe that a person whose body had been smashed into several pieces could still survive!

Next, the thing that dropped both of their jaws occurred.

They witnessed with their own eyes as the head, which had been lying silently to the side, suddenly opened its eyes and began to speak in a deeply unsettling tone.

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

Just as the voice fell, the head opened its mouth wide, and a completely intact Orochimaru crawled back out from inside.

Regaining a new lease on life, Orochimaru licked his lips, looking at Ye Fan with an increasingly sinister gaze.

Originally, for the sake of his upcoming plan, he had intended to spare Ye Fan for the moment and deal with him after the Konoha Crush Plan was completed.

Yet right now, it appeared Ye Fan would not give him that kind of opportunity.

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

Completely occupying Ye Fan's body would require a certain amount of time, and he intended to completely merge with Ye Fan before initiating the Konoha Crush Plan.

Sensing the fluctuation in Qi from Orochimaru's body, Ye Fan discovered that although Orochimaru's Qi remained majestic at the moment, it already had a gap compared to before.

Moreover, he also discovered a very important piece of information: the life force on Orochimaru's body had also weakened quite a bit!

Ye Fan thought to himself: It seems Orochimaru isn't truly immortal either; perhaps if I kill him a few more times, I'll be able to finish him off.

However, such tenacious vitality also surprised Ye Fan somewhat.

After all, looking across the entire ninja world, there were hardly a few people who could do this and still not die.

"Orochimaru, I advise you to pull out some real skill. If you do the same as just now, I will lose patience."

"You must show me corresponding value for me to let you continue living."

"Heh heh, Uchiha Ye Fan, you are the one with the biggest mouth among the Uchiha clansmen I've ever seen."

"Since you've said so, I'll accompany you and play seriously!"

Seeing that the sky had grown dark, Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Summoning Technique!"

Orochimaru bit his fingertip and rapidly formed hand seals.

As the smoke dispersed, a massive purple snake carrying a terrifying aura and a body dozens of times larger than those previous giant snakes appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"This... this..."

Looking at the purple snake before her, Sakura collapsed flat onto the ground, her whole body turning to jelly as she was too frightened to even speak.

Sasuke's facial muscles twitched, equally astonished and in utter disbelief in his heart as he cried out:

"A summoned beast of this level—could this be the true strength of the legendary Sannin!"
