Rib Cage Shattering Combo

"Hoo..." The Third Hokage let out a sigh of relief.

Shadow Imitation Technique is an extremely powerful control-type Ninjutsu. As long as there is sufficient Chakra, even a Genin can lock down a Jonin firmly.

"Ye Fan, you can't kill him. If you kill him, it will bring a very heavy blow to Konoha. The consequences will even far exceed this invasion!"

Nara Shikaku, sweating profusely, gritted his teeth. He felt that just controlling Ye Fan had consumed a large amount of his Chakra, a situation he had never encountered before.

"Oh? Is that so? Why do I feel like Konohagakure would be better off without these old guys?"

Ye Fan's lips curled up, and the foot he had raised in mid-air slowly descended.

"This!" Nara Shikaku was greatly alarmed. He felt that he couldn't control Ye Fan at all; their strength was not on the same level!

"Lord Third Hokage, I can't hold on much longer!" Nara Shikaku kept pouring Chakra into the technique, and in a blink of an eye, he was almost exhausted.

"Ye Fan, stop quickly!"

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"

"Water Style: Water Prison Technique!"

The Third Hokage and the Anbu representative attacked simultaneously to stop Ye Fan.

A wall of earth rose from the ground, blocking Mitokado Homura.

The Water Style transformed into rods, which were placed around Ye Fan, attempting to restrain his movements.

In the Hokage's office, everyone who could act, except Danzo, had acted.

Danzo watched this scene, not with any worry, but rather hoping that Ye Fan would kill Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

If those two died, and the Third Hokage also died, he would only need to kill Ye Fan, and Konoha would become his sole domain.

Ye Fan glanced at the Ninjutsu targeting him, not even finding it remotely interesting.

In his eyes, Ninjutsu of this level was simply too weak.

Ye Fan exerted a slight force, and all the Ninjutsu dissolved in an instant.

Crack!

Ye Fan's foot landed on Mitokado Homura's chest as promised.

The moment they collided, all of Mitokado Homura's ribs shattered!

"Pfft!"

The intense impact and severe pain caused Mitokado Homura to spit out a large mouthful of blood. After a few coughs, he fainted, falling unconscious.

The Third Hokage, who had rushed to Mitokado Homura's side, quickly placed his fingers on Mitokado Homura's neck.

"Fortunately, he's still breathing!"

Upon learning that Mitokado Homura was not dead, the stone that had been hanging over the hearts of the Konoha elders in the Hokage's office finally fell.

Nara Shikaku was so exhausted that he collapsed directly onto the ground. The Shadow Imitation Technique he had just used had nearly depleted all the Chakra within him.

"Too strong, what a troublesome guy. We're not on the same level at all; there's no way to compare."

"Too dangerous. If he had intended to kill me, I probably would have been instantly killed!"

Seeing a glimpse of the whole through a small crack, the Anbu representative also broke out in a cold sweat.

Although it was only a brief exchange, he could clearly realize how vast the gap was between himself and Ye Fan.

Ye Fan glanced at the unconscious Mitokado Homura lying on the ground, kicked him to the wall, and then calmly walked towards Utatane Koharu.

"You old hag, I was asking questions properly, and you just had to butt in. I was originally planning to let you thrash around a bit longer."

"Since your partner has already received the 'shattered ribs' special, you should get one too."

As he spoke, Ye Fan raised his foot to stomp on Utatane Koharu's chest.

"Ye Fan, stop! She can't take any more of this. If you kick her, she'll definitely die!"

The Third Hokage shouted anxiously, but he was powerless to stop it.

At this moment, all the eyes of the Konoha elders turned to Utatane Koharu.

Worry was etched on their faces. The Land of Fire Representative even covered his eyes, unable to watch.

"Ye Fan, stop."

Just as Ye Fan's foot was raised, a familiar voice reached his ears.

Then, Jiraiya, with his long white hair, slowly walked into the Hokage's office.

Like Ye Fan, he had climbed in through the window.

Seeing Jiraiya enter, Ye Fan sighed and retracted his descending foot.

In fact, he had sensed Jiraiya following him long ago but pretended not to know.

A long time ago, Ye Fan had discovered the first function of "Qi" within his body, which was perception.

He found that as long as a person had Chakra in their body, no matter how they hid, they would be completely exposed within the range of his "Qi" perception.

In other words, in this world, it's simply impossible for anyone to ambush Ye Fan.

Even the most exquisite and flawless hiding methods, as long as there's Chakra flowing within the body, it would be like... being stripped naked.

"Lord Jiraiya, you're finally here. If you had arrived any later, the Hokage's office would have probably been torn down!" the Land of Fire Representative said aggrievedly.

Nara Shikaku's heart finally settled upon seeing Jiraiya's figure.

He seriously suspected that Ye Fan's strength was already close to Jiraiya's.

At this moment, all the worry on the Third Hokage's face disappeared.

He believed that as long as Jiraiya was here, Ye Fan wouldn't act recklessly.

"Jiraiya, what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be cleaning up the mess over there?" Ye Fan rolled his eyes, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Having lived with Ye Fan for ten years, Jiraiya naturally understood the implied meaning behind his words.

"You brat, you don't even call me Master! You keep calling me Jiraiya, Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya punched Ye Fan on the head, cursing him.

Watching this scene, everyone's lips twitched, and they silently gave Jiraiya a thumbs-up.

The formidable person who had left them helpless was actually hit like this, and what's more, he didn't fight back. This made them incredibly envious.

"Jiraiya, that hurt! Do you believe I'll hit you!"

"Brat, don't you know how to call me Master!"

Jiraiya raised his fist once more.

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore!"

The Konoha higher-ups watched this pair of clowns, seriously doubting if the person who had previously made them unable to breathe was actually the same person.

After taking a few more punches from Jiraiya, Ye Fan sat back down in his chair, still maintaining that nonchalant demeanor.

However, unlike the last time, not a single person present dared to look down on him anymore.

Danzo stared deeply at Jiraiya and Ye Fan. The closeness between the two of them exceeded his imagination.

Dealing with just Ye Fan had already given him a headache.

Adding Jiraiya to the mix made him even more at a loss for what to do.

"You damn dog, what are you looking at? Do you want to experience the 'all your bones shattered' special package beforehand?"

Ye Fan pointed at Danzo's face and spoke, his tone calm, as if defeating a Kage-level expert like Danzo was as simple as eating and drinking.

"What, not convinced? Don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you transplanted some Hashirama Cells and attached a few Sharingan to your arm!"

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and stared at Danzo in disbelief.

The information Ye Fan just revealed was too immense, it was explosive news!

Danzo himself was utterly shocked. He couldn't believe that someone would know his secret.

To know that the group of people who helped him implant the Hashirama Cells had all been killed by him back then. Logically, there shouldn't be a second person who knew about this.
