I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Orochimaru was not satisfied with Ye Lan's answer. When he saw Sasuke pulling Sakura up and about to leave, he immediately attacked Sasuke.

There are many snake hands in the shadows.

Orochimaru stretched out his right hand, and several pythons emerged from his sleeves, attacking Sasuke at an extremely fast speed.

Uchiha Style, Halo Dance

Ye Lan stood in front of Sasuke, flames ignited on his ninja sword, and several flaming shock waves directly blocked Orochimaru's attack.

The python was chopped into several pieces and turned into ashes on the ground.

"Don't waste time here, let's go." Ye Lan turned around and looked at Sasuke and urged him.

Sasuke realized that he could not help at all now, so he and Sakura carried the unconscious Naruto and fled as quickly as possible.

Sneaking snake cage.

Orochimaru's attack just now was just a feint. After using the Shadow Snake Hand, he continued to form seals and slapped the ground with one hand. He saw something lurking on the surface. As soon as Ye Lan turned around, several large snakes broke out of the ground directly from under his feet and tightly coiled around his body.

Boom—

The body that had just wrapped around Ye Lan turned into a piece of wood. It was a substitution technique.

Orochimaru was not surprised that a Uchiha ninja with three magatama was not dealt with so quickly.

Uchiha Style, Wind Sword

Ye Lan appeared behind Orochimaru. His ninja sword not only had a huge flame but also a dangerous whistling wind. He aimed a powerful slash at Orochimaru's neck.

Clang—

Orochimaru reacted quickly and used the Kusanagi sword to directly block Ye Lan's ninja sword. However, the flame attached to Ye Lan's ninja sword was not so easy to extinguish, and the flame with reduced power brushed past Orochimaru's face.

Orochimaru felt the hot flames and his face turned ugly. He knew that this kind of Uchiha clan's swordsmanship was a very difficult ninjutsu to deal with.

Ye Lan's expression did not change after missing the attack. He did not continue to attack but instead distanced himself from Orochimaru. It was never too careful to deal with an opponent like Orochimaru. Sasuke should have left for a distance now. He only needed to hold Orochimaru back until Red Bean and the Anbu arrived.

Seeing Ye Lan actively distance himself, Orochimaru did not panic but thought for a while and said, "Very beautiful Uchiha swordsmanship. The last user was a famous master of Uchiha. Let me think, his name is Uchiha Shisui..."

Orochimaru observed the young man in front of him, wanting to see if his expression changed so as to get some useful information. To his disappointment, Ye Lan's expression did not change at all.

It seems that Kabuto needs to come to him to get information. Seeing that he could not get any information, Orochimaru chose to take the initiative this time, pulling up his sleeves and using his bitten fingers to draw a mark on the arm that had been drawn with the spell.

Psychic Art, Great Snake

After a burst of smoke, several giant snakes appeared at his feet. Under the command of Orochimaru, they all pounced towards Ye Lan in front.

Ye Lan quickly formed seals with his fingers, ending with a noon seal.

Fire escape, great fire extinguishing

Flames filled the sky and gushed out directly from Ye Lan's mouth, forming a fire storm in front of him. The big snake in front was burned to death without even a roar. The rest of the surviving snakes fled in all directions. The fear of death made them refuse to obey orders. The original Death Forest, which was a place full of trees, turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the air temperature instantly became hot.

It's not over yet. Ye Lan increased the release of chakra, and the flame in his mouth quickly changed from red-yellow to white. This was a sign of a sharp rise in the temperature of the flame. The dry trees no longer simply burned when they encountered the flame, but instead emitted a series of violent explosions. Ye Lan did this to warn the candidates not to go to this place and attract the arrival of the Anbu.

Water escape, water wall

Orochimaru's face turned grim when he saw such a terrifying Fire Style. He didn't expect that this young Uchiha was so powerful. He hurriedly used a Water Style Ninjutsu to resist temporarily, and then softened his bones and drilled into the mud.

Boom—

The sound caused by the Great Fire Extinguishing could be heard by most of the examination room. Sasuke, who was leaving, looked behind him in surprise. He didn't expect that Ye Lan's battle with Orochimaru would be more intense than the last battle he participated in with Zabuza.

At this time, Sasuke found that there was a group of people running desperately not far from them, and they were about to meet him and Sakura. Sasuke couldn't help but get a little anxious, his condition was very bad now, Naruto was unconscious again, and Sakura... Never mind, the situation was not good anyway, so he had to shout first.

"Who is there?" He hoped that others would not dare to fight them rashly after observing the explosion.

The group of people paused for a moment and walked towards him. Just when Sasuke and Sakura were nervous, a familiar voice rang out.

"Sasuke?" Only then did he see that it was his former classmates, Shikamaru, Ino and Choji.

Seeing that it was a familiar classmate, Sasuke and Sakura let down their guard.

"Why are you in such a mess?" Shikamaru couldn't help but say when he saw the look of Sasuke and his group. He remembered the horrible explosion and huge flames behind him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You don't know what happened next, do you?"

"There's a dangerous jonin sneaking into the exam room. We almost lost our lives just now when we encountered him." Sasuke explained, but he didn't stop walking, "Let's get away from that place as soon as possible."

Shikamaru knew this was not the place to talk, so he followed Sasuke closely.

"Naruto, a guy as energetic as you was knocked unconscious. I can imagine the danger you were in. By the way, how did you escape?"

"It was the examiner from the exam room who arrived in time and is now fighting that dangerous guy." Sakura said with lingering fear.

"Is the examiner that Hongdou?" Ino at the side interrupted.

"It's not that male examiner, whom you've met, Ino. His name is Uchiha Ye Lan." Sakura surprisingly did not argue with Ino.

"Uchiha?" Shikamaru and the others' faces changed. Sakura didn't know much about the Uchiha clan, but they had heard about it from the adults at home.

"That man is Sasuke's cousin. I heard from teacher Kakashi that he just returned to the village recently." Sakura continued to explain when she saw that Sasuke's expression did not change.

Shikamaru and the others all looked at Sasuke, they had never heard of such a thing before.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, Sasuke said, "What's going on over there is not something we Genin can get involved in. Let's find a place to rest for now."

The flames swept across the land, and a large area of ​​the Death Forest was directly turned into an open space. When the flames on the surface gradually became smaller, Orochimaru broke out of the ground, and white smoke was seen coming out of his body. It seemed that it was not easy to stay underground. He had not been so embarrassed for a long time. He once again had almost morbid thoughts about the Uchiha clan.

Array of Ten Thousand Snakes

At this moment, Orochimaru finally used his killing move, and he began to get serious. He opened his mouth, let out a hissing sound, and then countless huge pythons poured out of his mouth. These pythons twisted their bodies in the air and stabbed at Ye Lan like thousands of sharp swords. They were very fast and arrived in front of Ye Lan in the blink of an eye. Seeing this scene, Ye Lan had a blank expression on his face and quickly formed seals with his fingers.

Water escape technique, waterfall technique

Before, the sky was full of flames, but this time, there were huge waves. Ye Lan's ninjutsu and Orochimaru's Bankara Formation collided with each other, causing huge splashes of water. The temperature in the air dropped again, and the group of pythons with swords in their mouths were washed away without a trace. The entire huge wave continued to rush towards Orochimaru without stopping.

The art of summoning spirits, triple Rashomon

Three huge Rashomons rose from the ground, and the waterfall was blocked after breaking through the first layer of Rashomon. Orochimaru stood on the Rashomon and looked at Ye Lan sternly.

Shulker

At this time, a hidden snake hand attacked Orochimaru. It was Red Bean who had just arrived. Orochimaru dodged the attack as if he had expected it. Red Bean did not give up and stabbed Orochimaru with a kunai. Orochimaru made a "no" seal with both hands and roared.

"drink!"

Red Bean, who was originally moving forward, fell to the ground holding her neck. It was the Heaven's Curse Seal that Orochimaru had cast on her before. People who were cursed by the seal could not resist Orochimaru at all.

"Red Bean, you are a jonin after all. It's a bit ridiculous for you to use the ninjutsu I taught you against me."

Uchiha Style, My Style, Rising Dragon Flame

The ninja sword in Ye Lan's hand turned into a fire dragon, which roared and flew towards Orochimaru, creating waves of heat wherever it passed. Seeing this, Orochimaru quickly dodged. However, Ye Lan's attack did not stop. The fire dragon circled in the air and turned to attack Orochimaru. Facing such a fierce attack from Ye Lan, Orochimaru kept dodging, and secretly sighed in his heart that the boy in front of him was so powerful.

Finally, Orochimaru had an idea. He picked up the corpse of a big snake beside him and threw it directly at the fire dragon controlled by Ye Lan. The two collided and a huge explosion occurred. The smoke in the sky directly blocked the vision of both parties.

Ye Lan took the opportunity to come to Hongdou and asked while being alert: "Captain, how are you doing?"

"It's okay, I'm not going to die yet! Damn it!" Hongdou pounded the ground in frustration, she didn't expect that her arrival not only didn't help but also hindered them.

The smoke cleared, and Orochimaru's trace had disappeared without a trace. Ye Lan was just wondering when he suddenly felt a chakra fluctuation under his feet. He immediately thought of Hongdou's danger, and turned around without hesitation to hug Hongdou, wanting to evacuate quickly. However, at this moment, the ground under Hongdou's feet suddenly cracked, and a white snake emerged from it. What was terrifying was that the head of this snake was somewhat similar to Orochimaru. The snake quickly wrapped around Ye Lan and Hongdou.

"Red Bean, you are worthy of being my apprentice. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily." The big snake actually spoke human language, and it was obviously Orochimaru himself. Then, Orochimaru, who turned into a white snake, looked at Ye Lan and said, "Compared to Itachi, you are still far behind. The gift I originally intended to give to Sasuke, I will give it to you this time!" As he said that, Orochimaru opened his big mouth and bit Ye Lan fiercely.

At this critical moment, the three magatama Sharingan in Ye Lan's eyes quickly rotated, and the three magatama turned into four sword-like shapes, forming a cross around the pupil. These eyes! When Orochimaru saw the changes in Ye Lan's eyes, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. His body wrapped around Ye Lan and Hongdou, and flames instantly rose from his body. The scorching temperature of the flame forced Orochimaru to loosen the bonds. Since returning to the village, Ye Lan used his Mangekyo ability for the first time, his left eye, Kototen Mikuni.
