I'm Very Unhappy

"Bad!" Feeling Orochimaru's gaze shake, Yang Xing, who possessed zero resistance to genjutsu, felt his entire body lock up. A wave of inexplicable fear rising from the depths of his heart made his limbs stiffen.

He had calculated everything, yet he had forgotten this most crucial factor.

Orochimaru's genjutsu was on par with that of Itachi, the genius of the Uchiha clan.

In that fleeting moment, Orochimaru had already escaped the fireball, transforming into a slippery snake that slithered through the clay and lunged out.

He reached Yang Xing in a flash and kicked him flying.

Clutching his stomach, Yang Xing could only slide a few meters before coming to a stop. He frowned, looking at Orochimaru with a grim expression.

Orochimaru's genjutsu prowess was among the best in the world of Hokage; having no countermeasure for it made this situation truly difficult.

"Haha, in the end, you brat are still too green..." Flicking his tongue, Orochimaru looked at Yang Xing ahead, a strange light flickering in his eyes. Just as he was about to move again, he heard a sound and paused. "Tch, it seems others are approaching."

Steadying himself without rushing, Orochimaru stared intently at Yang Xing. "Brat, seeing how angry you are about Anko, you must really want to save her. I'll give you a chance."

He suddenly stood up, extended one hand, and transformed his palm into a snake, binding Anko, who was still lying on the ground, and pulling her over.

Caught off guard and physically exhausted, Anko couldn't offer the slightest resistance as she was seized.

"Brat, remember, only one person. One person follow me. If you succeed, I will let her go. Otherwise, I might just let my summon eat this one; after all, she is quite annoying." Glancing at Anko, a flash of killing intent crossed Orochimaru's eyes before he turned and departed with incredible speed.

"Don't run!" Yang Xing grew anxious and was about to give chase, but he was blocked.

"Yang Xing!" Rin Nohara, who had opened her eyes midway, was speechless with shock as she watched Yang Xing unleash those ninjutsu with such fluidity. She now understood clearly who had taken out the five ninja.

But compared to the current situation, that was clearly unimportant.

Seeing Yang Xing so impulsive, Rin Nohara immediately stepped forward to block his path. "Kakashi and the others will be here soon; we should stay here."

"I'm sorry, I can't do that, and you can't stop me either." Yang Xing wore a look of seriousness that Rin Nohara had never seen before. She never imagined that this usually happy-go-lucky guy could display such an incredibly earnest face.

Almost the moment Rin Nohara hesitated, Yang Xing had already formed hand seals with one hand.

"Water Clone Technique!"

A splash of water exploded in front of Rin Nohara. By the time she reflexively turned her head, Yang Xing was already dozens of meters away, his small back slowly disappearing into the silent night.

"Yang Xing," Rin Nohara murmured to herself, her expression dim.

Orochimaru's departure speed was not fast; at the very least, he knew Yang Xing would follow, so he left behind some tracking marks.

Following these marks, Yang Xing moved quickly.

As for why he was in such a rush to catch up?

Did he have a crush on Anko? Absolutely not; there was no connection between them at all.

In truth, the reason was simple: he was currently very annoyed, extremely annoyed. Even though his opponent was Orochimaru, being defeated by a mere minor genjutsu was infuriating.

His heart was filled with frustration!

"Damn it, who's afraid of who? If you've got the guts, don't run. I'm going to take you on one-on-one." Yang Xing gritted his teeth, using almost all his chakra to boost his speed. Staring ahead, he cursed, "Damn it, damn it! You dare snatch a girl right in front of me and then run away so arrogantly? Talking such big game. So what if you're one of the legendary Sannin? What of it? I can't stand this, this is absolutely unbearable."

"Fine, your genjutsu is good, is it?" Yang Xing snorted coldly. While running, he took out his phone and pressed the button with great force. "Last Evolution Fruit, use! Strengthen the unique achievement of defeating the Fourth Hokage, okay, good. Select ninjutsu—to hell with B-rank ninjutsu, select Kekkei Genkai: Single Tomoe Sharingan, confirm! 'Are you sure, cannot be changed?' Stop talking so much, system, just confirm it for me!"

"Very good, let's see how you cast your genjutsu now." Looking at the text displayed on the phone and feeling the obvious changes in the scenery before him, a deep, cold smirk curled on Yang Xing's lips.

Defeater of the Fourth Hokage (Gold Rare Achievement, Top Tier!)

Sharingan (Single Tomoe) Enhanced Version: In addition to a massive boost to the original foundation, all negative reactions and side effects are removed.

At this moment, in a dark and damp cave far away, two people arrived.

Anko, bound into a ball by snakes, was tossed aside by Orochimaru. Orochimaru sat on a rock, waiting quietly.

Finding that she truly could not move, Anko glared at Orochimaru with indignation. Seeing that he wasn't paying her any attention, she became even angrier. "Hey, do you really think that guy will come?"

"Oh, what do you want to say?" Orochimaru turned his head, his smile so cold that one dared not look directly at it. "Why do you think he won't come?"

"He's the last member of their team. Even if he performed well just now, he should know he's no match for you. What kind of trick are you playing?" Anko said firmly, though she silently told herself, Right, that guy isn't stupid enough to follow.

"Anko, I originally thought you were smart. I didn't expect you to be so foolish." Orochimaru laughed. The laughter was raspy, yet it held a peculiar meaning that made Anko very uncomfortable.

"What do you mean?"

"The 'last member'—that's impossible. Based on the few outstanding members of the next generation in Konoha I know of, with that guy's ability, there's no way he's the last." Orochimaru's voice was unusually raspy, proving that his heart was beginning to burn with excitement. "I didn't expect Konoha to have such a promising child. It's too thrilling, it makes me so excited."

Watching Orochimaru's expression, Anko felt a chill rise from the depths of her soul. "Hey, what are you planning? You bastard, what are you thinking?"

"Planning?" Orochimaru turned his head and, quite rarely, spoke. "Well, telling you wouldn't hurt. I'm just choosing a future."

"A future?"

"Yes, a future. Doesn't Konoha possess many futures? Among those people, there will be one that belongs to me."

"You bastard, you're targeting the children of Konoha! What are you thinking?"

Realizing that this guy wanted to find a vessel in Konoha, Anko was shocked and struggled with all her might, nearly ready to fight Orochimaru to the death.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru had no interest in her at all. At this moment, he only sensed someone approaching and shifted his entire focus to the cave entrance, completely ignoring the frantic Anko.

"Hey, you bastard, tell me, what have you done to the people of Konoha?"

"He's here."

"Ah, what?" Hearing Orochimaru's words, Anko was stunned. Just as she was annoyed that he had stopped talking, she saw a figure dart into the cave entrance with extreme speed. Her pretty face was filled with shock beyond words.

She truly hadn't expected that the fool would actually follow.

What a complete idiot!
