The Genjutsu Ye Chen cast, the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, acted directly on himself.
His "vision" vanished outright, leaving pitch-black darkness before his eyes, so Sasuke Uchiha's Dojutsu could no longer affect him.
Across from him, Orochimaru looked at Ye Chen's blank expression and immediately laughed.
