As night fell, Uchiha Yi walked alone on the way back to the Uchiha clan settlement.

Suddenly, a dark figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

It was an Anbu ninja, wearing a mask that resembled an animal.

The mask has two cat-like ears, with red patterns and red eye patterns on both sides. The eyes of the mask are black, and the corners of its long mouth are bent downwards.

"Uchiha Yi."

The ANBU ninja's voice was slightly muffled, "You have been selected to take part in tomorrow's jonin promotion exam. This is a direct order from the Third Hokage."

"What? A promotion to jonin?"

Yi stopped and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Jonin promotion exam?

This was too sudden, there was absolutely no prior sign.

Under normal circumstances, the promotion of a jonin is definitely an important event in the village. It must be examined by the village's top leaders and many jonin together before a successful promotion can be achieved.

Although Uchiha Yi was puzzled, he nodded, glanced at the mask of the Anbu ninja, and said softly: "I understand, is there anything I need to prepare in advance?"

The Anbu ninja's voice was calm and emotionless: "No other procedures are required. This is a promotion exam specially approved by the Hokage. You only need to get the approval of the examiner."

"Who is the examiner?" Uchiha Yi asked calmly.

"First Arena, tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. You will know when you go there."

The ANBU ninja's tone was calm but unquestionable.

"Whoosh-"

After conveying the message, the Anbu ninja wearing a cat mask flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Uchiha Yi looked at the departing figure of the Anbu ninja, with a hint of deep-hidden fear in his eyes.

I don’t know who this person is.

Able to evade his perception and get within ten meters of him without noticing.

This Anbu ninja is definitely not an unknown person.

His strength should have reached the top elite jonin level.

With doubts, Uchiha Yi hurried back home.

He simply washed up and went to bed early.

……

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, Uchiha Yi was already standing in the designated examination room - Konoha's first arena.

It was different from the bustle of the Fourth Arena yesterday.

It was quiet here, with no sign of other candidates, only the sound of wind blowing gently through the treetops.

Uchiha Yi looked around, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

Am I the only one taking the jonin promotion exam this time?

At this moment, a cold breath came from behind.

Uchiha Yi turned around quickly and saw a thin man in a white robe with a sinister face slowly walking towards him.

"Lord Orochimaru?!"

Feeling the slight chill coming from those snake eyes, Uchiha Yi had a look of surprise that was hard to conceal on his face.

Could it be that today's examiner is Orochimaru?

In the past two years, Orochimaru has been extremely low-key and has rarely appeared in public.

Today is also the day Uchiha Yi sees Orochimaru again after two years.

"Uchiha Yi, I remember you."

Orochimaru's tone was extremely calm, but Uchiha Yi felt a hint of chill.

"I have met Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Yi suppressed the panic in his heart and bowed to Orochimaru.

"That's right, I will be the one testing you today."

Orochimaru looked at Yi calmly, as if trying to see some panic on his face, "Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for a long time, Yi."

"Uh……"

Uchiha Yi looked a little at a loss, not knowing what to say.

what the hell.

It's just an exam to be promoted to jonin.

It turned out that Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, took action personally?

"It seems that you are very wary of me, Yi."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and licked the corner of his mouth with his slender tongue, "Then let's get started directly. Attack me, Yi."

Let’s get straight to the point so quickly?

There really is no other explanation at all.

Uchiha Yi's eyes suddenly became solemn, and then he jumped back and put some distance between himself and Orochimaru.

"I will do my best. Then, please teach me, Lord Orochimaru!"

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yi quickly entered a fighting stance, chakra surging in his body.

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to fighting with you."

Orochimaru curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, and his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

Uchiha Yi's pupils spun rapidly, changing from black to scarlet, and two black magatama appeared in the scarlet pupils.

"Behind me!"

Through the Sharingan, Uchiha Yi immediately caught a slight air fluctuation behind him, which was the trace of Orochimaru's movement.

He reacted quickly, dodging sideways, while the ninja sword held tightly in his right hand condensed into a chakra blade.

"Latent Shadow Snake Hands!"

The next moment, Orochimaru appeared behind Uchiha Yi and suddenly waved his hand.

His arms instantly turned into thick pythons, baring their fangs and biting Yi fiercely.

"call out--"

Facing the snake head rushing towards him, Uchiha Yi remained calm, quickly dodged to the side, and at the same time swung the ninja sword in his hand fiercely.

His sword movements were so fast that they could not be seen clearly with the naked eye.

Silver-white chakra surged on the blade, and the blade emitted a bright light like moonlight.

Wherever the blade passed, the space suddenly distorted, and the air seemed to solidify under this knife.

"Crack!!"

As soon as Orochimaru's shadow snake hand came into contact with the silver light, it instantly began to explode from the snake head and spread down inch by inch.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several snake bodies exploded with a loud roar, and blood splattered everywhere, and a blood rain spread under the feet of the two people.

The air was instantly filled with a bloody smell.

"Shh-"

Without any pause, Uchiha Yi slashed out with a blade of light again.

Orochimaru was completely enveloped by the terrifying sword force. After hearing a loud bang, he was shocked and retreated several steps.

"What an amazing swordsmanship... Ahem, now I have to be serious."

Orochimaru slowly raised his drooping head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and after his body trembled strangely, several snake bodies condensed in his hands again.

"Ninja Technique: Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"

In an instant, countless snakes swarmed out of Orochimaru's mouth frantically.

Countless snake shadows rolled on the battlefield, forming a terrifying sea of ​​snakes. Their long tongues hissed, and with bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes, they pounced towards Uchiha Yi.

This was no longer a group of snakes, but it had directly turned into a wave of snakes, rushing over with a tremendous force.

Faced with such a terrifying number of snakes, Uchiha Yi's mouth twitched slightly and a black line appeared on his forehead.

Orochimaru's moves are more disgusting than the last!

Uchiha Yi couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

I didn’t feel anything special when I watched the animation before, but when I really experienced it in real life and saw with my own eyes a large group of pythons of various shapes being spit out from Orochimaru’s mouth, the feeling was really heart-pounding.
