Cheat Acquired

"Orochimaru glanced at Anko, immediately revealing a trace of suspicion.

If it was merely to prevent Anko from leaking information, he could have simply killed her. But with profit before him, he did not think too deeply about it.

"Fine, do as you wish. But you'd better not lie to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind making you one of my experimental subjects as well." Orochimaru coldly swept his gaze over Ye Liang. His dark vertical pupils made Ye Liang's neck go cold, and he hurriedly nodded again and again.

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

"Hmph!"

Watching Orochimaru head toward the cave entrance alone, Ye Liang quickly rushed to Anko's side, untied her ropes, and hoisted her onto his back.

It couldn't be helped. Only someone as diligent as Ye Liang would be willing to take on such a miserable chore!

For my Shinra Tensei, what's the big deal about carrying a woman? Ye Liang forcefully comforted himself before placing Mitarashi Anko onto his back.

To be honest, Anko was not as fat as she was in Boruto at this point.

Her body was very light, curvy in all the right places. Her figure might not have been perfect, but she had everything she should have had.

Ye Liang chuckled, then felt something smooth and soft beneath his hand!

Ninjas' skin was extremely firm. He could compare it to the girls from his previous life who constantly worked out at the gym—after long-term muscle training, there was not an ounce of excess fat on their bodies. Not to mention Ye Liang's hand was currently resting on Anko's butt.

"Don't blame me, little beauty. When you carry someone, your hand naturally goes on their butt." Though he was somewhat shameless, he still force-fed himself a perfectly reasonable excuse.

"Pah! You spies, the Third Hokage will never let you leave safely. Just wait for death!" Anko spat angrily and glared viciously at Ye Liang, though for some reason, a blush had appeared on her face.

Ye Liang gave an awkward smile and ignored her.

This was not the time for flirting. Orochimaru ahead was still watching them warily, so Ye Liang paid close attention to his words and actions. If he accidentally exposed a flaw, he would truly be finished.

Ye Liang shook his head, forcefully driving away the dirty thoughts in his mind, then followed Orochimaru ahead with a solemn expression.

"It seems Uchiha Itachi's body is still very tempting. Orochimaru might be suspicious, but he didn't immediately tear off the pretense." Ye Liang made his judgment.

Orochimaru continued walking quickly ahead.

He looked to be around thirty.

Based on memories from his previous life, Ye Liang judged that Orochimaru should still be a student under the Third Hokage. Since he had not yet injected Anko with the curse mark, he likely had not defected yet. So he was not particularly powerful at the moment!

This was extremely important!

Orochimaru's human experiments had not yet succeeded. In other words, he had only mastered some basic advanced ninjutsu and definitely did not possess those freakish god-tier techniques from later on, such as Impure World Reincarnation, Triple Rashomon, and the overwhelmingly cool Eight Branches Technique!

"Looks like I really did have foresight, haha." Ye Liang greatly admired his own courage. In his view, once he completed the system mission and received the reward, he had a very good chance of being evenly matched with Orochimaru.

At the very least, he should be able to escape.

"Mm, that's right!"

Ye Liang nodded heavily, then began imagining what it would feel like to obtain Shinra Tensei.

After advancing a little farther, a glimmer of light finally appeared ahead.

"Looks like we're finally out."

Ye Liang muttered to himself, then saw an endless expanse of dense forest.

It was rather plain, and a bit green.

"Where is this leader you spoke of, brat?" Orochimaru stepped outside first. He warily swept his gaze over the surrounding bushes, then immediately turned to glare at Ye Liang in anger!

Even with the strength of a Special Jonin, he could not see where anyone might be hiding among the bushes outside.

"Don't rush. The leader is hiding outside." Ye Liang brushed him off.

Orochimaru had been walking ahead of him and had exited first, while Ye Liang was still inside.

Don't fail me at the crucial moment! Ye Liang immediately quickened his pace.

"One step! Two steps! Three steps!"

The scenery outside was extremely captivating. By the standards of his previous life, it was absolutely worthy of being a tourist attraction. Ye Liang nervously counted down his steps as he walked out one step at a time!

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the SSS-rank Mission—Rescue Anko!"

"Rewards are now being issued to the host: Advanced Taijutsu, max level! Advanced Chakra, max level! Advanced Ninja Tools usage, max level!"

"Because the host completed the mission perfectly, an additional reward has been granted: God-tier ninjutsu—Shinra Tensei!"

"Completed!"

Ye Bufan incredulously clenched his hands and flexed his limbs.

Terrifying power flowed through the muscles of his body.

The system's power had been directly infused into his body, requiring no training. Thus, Ye Bufan was certain that he now possessed the strength of a Jonin.

His head buzzed as a strange Chakra circulation path appeared in his memories.

"So this is how Shinra Tensei circulates! So this is how it's used!" he laughed.

He immediately tried circulating Chakra through that mysterious path!

"Brat, you really were deceiving me!" Orochimaru finally ran out of patience!

Seeing Ye Liang standing there in a daze for no apparent reason, he immediately charged at him.

In Orochimaru's eyes, Ye Liang merely possessed the strength of an ordinary Genin. He did not need to use ninjutsu at all to subdue him with ease.

And that was exactly what he did.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Just as Orochimaru drew close, an invisible wall of force suddenly burst outward from Ye Liang's body.

"Bang!"

Caught off guard, Orochimaru was blasted away by the force wall.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?! Such terrifying power!" Orochimaru spat out a mouthful of blood.

Shinra Tensei did not merely repel enemies. The impact that sent opponents flying was also not to be underestimated. In Ye Liang's memories, Shinra Tensei had even subdued three giant frogs from Mount Myōboku in a single strike!

Gamabunta's body was far stronger than Orochimaru's!

After crashing through several large trees, Orochimaru finally rolled to the ground.

"He clearly only had the strength of a Genin just now. How could he suddenly become this strong? This power has completely reached Kage level! No, not even the Third Hokage possesses such powerful ninjutsu!"

"Who exactly is he? Could he be the leader of that mysterious organization, Akatsuki?!" Orochimaru had frequented the black market and traded in living materials, so he had heard rumors of Akatsuki.

After all, Akatsuki's agent also frequently visited the black market.

He once again watched Ye Liang warily, but did not dare make another move for a long while.

Ye Liang was practically dying of laughter inside.

Sure enough, Orochimaru at this point only had the strength of a Special Jonin! With Ye Liang's current power, one Shinra Tensei was completely enough. What was more, he now possessed the qualities of a Jonin. Even if he did not know any ninjutsu, he could still leave safely!
