Since he'd decided to take part in the Chunin Ninja Exams, he might as well turn the whole place upside down—and use the opportunity to put the people lurking in the shadows, itching to make trouble, in their place.
Ye Fan was no longer the boy who had let his clansmen drive his parents to their deaths.
Though Ye Fan was a transmigrator, it was his parents who had given him life.
If the Uchiha Clan hadn't been wiped out, Ye Fan would have killed without hesitation the people who had once forced his parents into a corner.
His parents' deaths had always been a pain in his heart!
During all the years he'd traveled with Jiraiya, Ye Fan had kept turning one question over in his mind.
Where had the rumor that he was a Plague God first come from?
From within the Uchiha?
Or from within Konoha?
After thinking it over for a long time, Ye Fan felt the rumor had most likely come from Konoha's higher-ups.
After all, the Uchiha Clan had always been a thorn in the side of certain people in Konoha's leadership.
Ye Fan suspected that the hawkish faction among Konoha's higher-ups had spread the story about him being a Plague God to divide the Uchiha Clan.
And the tactic had clearly worked.
Back then, that rumor had nearly torn the Uchiha apart.
He remembered clearly how, one rainy night, the Uchiha Clan's leaders had blocked the door to the clan head's home and forced Uchiha Fugaku to make a choice.
Either kill Ye Fan or give up the clan head's position!
After that day, Ye Fan's parents took their own lives, dying in his place!
Even now, Ye Fan still remembered what his parents had said to him before they left.
"Fan'er, your father and I saved some money from our missions over the years. It should be enough to support you until you're eighteen."
"You don't have Chakra in your body, and you don't have Uchiha blood. You shouldn't become a ninja."
"Your father and I only want you to grow up healthy and happy."
"Actually, living a simple life as an ordinary person isn't so bad."
"Spend money when you need to, and be frugal when you don't—but never deprive yourself."
"You're still growing, so make sure to eat plenty of meat."
"Most importantly, don't drink before you turn eighteen, and don't pick up a gambling habit..."
"Don't feel guilty. You're not a Plague God. You're your father and mother's precious child, and you always will be."
Their kind faces would remain in Ye Fan's heart forever.
Though he hadn't spent much time with them, he'd felt their love for him all too clearly.
Ye Fan often felt deeply guilty.
His parents had died largely because of him. They'd suffered so many rumors and insults because of him.
"If I hadn't been around, they might have lived another two years."
"My strength was too weak back then. Things are different now. It won't be long before I can see you again."
Ye Fan had returned to Konoha for two reasons: to find out the truth about certain things and to capture Orochimaru.
At present, Orochimaru was the only one in the ninja world who knew that forbidden jutsu, Impure World Reincarnation!
But Ye Fan wasn't satisfied with the version of Impure World Reincarnation Orochimaru knew at this stage.
After capturing Orochimaru, Ye Fan planned to force him to research the jutsu in depth and resurrect his parents at the peak of their lives.
Next, he would capture Nagato Uzumaki.
Nagato's Rinnegan could truly bring the dead back to life!
Ye Fan had no good feelings toward Nagato. Aidi Free Novels: No ads, fastest updates. To avoid losing content while switching formats, download: Come enjoy ad-free reading with the Aidi Free Novels app!
Someone who betrayed his teacher and ancestors didn't deserve the slightest regard!
In his previous life, whenever Ye Fan browsed forums, he'd run into plenty of people trying to whitewash Nagato.
Every time, Ye Fan would argue with them.
No matter how many reasons Nagato had, the one thing he should never have done was kill Jiraiya. That was why Ye Fan could never forgive him!
Forget everything else—if Jiraiya hadn't saved Nagato and the other two and taught them everything he knew, they never would have survived!
Yet despite a debt of gratitude that had practically given them a second life, Nagato hadn't hesitated for a moment when he killed Jiraiya.
If he'd shown even the slightest hesitation, Ye Fan wouldn't have hated Nagato and his group so much!
Ye Fan thought that if Yahiko hadn't died, perhaps Nagato wouldn't have killed Jiraiya.
Even if Nagato had been manipulated, he'd had plenty of choices from beginning to end. He could have chosen not to kill Jiraiya.
And yet?
He hadn't shown the slightest mercy when he killed Jiraiya!
From the day Ye Fan had arrived in this world, Nagato had been on his list of people to kill!
"You Konoha brats are asking to die!"
The moment the words "Everyone here is trash" left his mouth, the gazes fixed on Naruto shifted to Ye Fan.
That wasn't just mockery—it was a blatant insult!
They were the finest young ninjas from their respective villages, here in Konoha to represent their homes in the Chunin Ninja Exams and show off their strength. How could they tolerate such an insult?
Even the Konoha Genin were glaring at Ye Fan!
Sasuke, in particular, was burning with rage.
Neji was annoyed, too. He'd never expected to be called trash by someone with no Kekkei Genkai, no Chakra, and nothing but taijutsu.
But Neji kept his irritation off his face, unlike Sasuke.
His pride wouldn't let him stoop to arguing with trash.
He believed that even giving someone like Ye Fan a second of his attention was an insult to himself.
The others didn't see it that way. The instant Ye Fan spoke, more than ten Genin from other villages rushed onto the stage.
They were ready to teach the arrogant brat a lesson.
Ye Fan watched them calmly, almost amused.
Anger without the strength to back it up was just overestimating yourself.
Naruto knitted his brows. He thought Ye Fan's words had been a little over the top, too, but he still stepped in front of him without hesitation.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto shouted, and a dozen clones appeared in the classroom.
They charged at the other Genin.
"Uh..."
Ye Fan watched Naruto leap into action, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He'd meant to put these people in their place, but Naruto had thrown his plan into disarray.
At the same time, Sasuke, his Two-Tomoe Sharingan activated, shot Ye Fan a fierce glare, then turned toward the dozen ninjas and shouted:
"His life is mine! I'm the only one who gets to take it. You're not good enough!"
Before the words had even left his mouth, Sasuke flung a dozen shuriken and joined the fight.
Ye Fan: ...
Naruto stepping in had left him unsure whether to laugh or cry. Sasuke's move, on the other hand, had taken him completely by surprise.
"So Sasuke's not just good at talking big—he's got a serious attitude problem, too!"
The dozen ninjas charged Naruto and Sasuke fiercely, but they were no match for them.
Within just a few minutes, all of them were sprawled at their feet.
"Hmph. Bunch of losers." Sasuke brushed the blood off himself, snorted, then walked over to Ye Fan and said, "Wash your neck. You're dead!"
Naruto wiped the blood from his face and followed Sasuke. "Sasuke, Ye Fan's a good person. Just let him go. He really isn't a Plague God!"
In the crowd, Gaara watched Sasuke and Ye Fan acting so arrogantly and gave a disdainful smile. Sand began to spill from the gourd on his back, then surged toward them!
