Chapter 23 Goodbye Orochimaru

Ye Lan stopped and looked at Gaara who was holding a doll in one hand.

"Um...can you take that monster away? I'm so scared of it." Gaara said with tears in his eyes.

"If I take it away, you will also lose your life. Instead of being afraid of it, you might as well think about how to get along with it." Ye Lan said after a moment of silence, and then left Gaara's spiritual world.

In reality, Gaara gradually changed from his tailed beast form back to his original appearance. He lay peacefully on the ground and fell asleep.

"What did you do to Gaara, you bastard!" Temari, who had been tied up by Shikamaru, woke up and shouted when she saw Gaara's appearance.

Ye Lan: "It's just an illusion of the Uchiha clan. It just makes him sleep for a while."

"Can illusion achieve this effect?" Sasuke thought that Ye Lan would have to use some tricks, but he didn't expect that an illusion could directly solve the problem of Gaara.

"This is the gift of our clan. The tailed beasts are nothing to be feared by the Uchiha. I will teach you after your Sharingan evolves to three magatama."

When Sasuke heard Ye Lan's words, he couldn't help but feel excited. The power of the Uchiha clan was indeed so strong.

"Brother Ye Lan, shall we go back now?" Xiaoying said when she saw that the task had been completed. She also wanted to go back to the village as soon as possible to see the situation in the village.

"Well, you take these Sand Village ninjas to find Kakashi. I still have some things to deal with." Ye Lan pointed a finger to the ground and used the Chakra perception technique again.

Before anyone could ask what happened, Ye Lan disappeared in front of them.

"Really? We were called here just to guard the prisoners. What a hassle." Shikamaru said to Ye Lan who had disappeared.

"Stop complaining Shikamaru, at least Gaara has been dealt with. We just need to do our job well." Sakura took the initiative to help Temari up. As a female ninja, it would be better for her to guard Temari.

Orochimaru's chakra is very weak, and he is leaving the village quickly. One, two... Including Orochimaru, there are six people in total, one jonin and four chunin-level chakras, they should be his subordinates. Ye Lan quickly chased in the direction of Orochimaru. He didn't want to kill Orochimaru for Konoha, but he was eyeing Orochimaru's ninjutsu, Impure World Reincarnation.

Before leaving the venue, Ye Lan saw the first and second Hokages who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation talking to Sarutobi Hiruzen, which showed that the resurrected ninjas had the consciousness and memories of their previous lives. If he resurrected the dead members of the Uchiha clan, he would be able to get the information about the night of the genocide. He must let Orochimaru hand over this technique.

Orochimaru, with a grim face, fled quickly under the cover of his men, his hands hanging limply on both sides of his body, as if he had lost consciousness. He didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen had also learned the ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage, sealing part of his soul into the belly of the god of death. He would never be able to use hand seals again, which would reduce his combat effectiveness by at least half. This time, the plan to destroy Konoha seemed to have failed.

"Who is it!" Orochimaru's snake-like vertical pupils shrank suddenly. He sensed a strong chakra nearby and suddenly stopped.

After hearing this, the four Sound Ninjas all picked up their weapons and surrounded Orochimaru. They were determined to protect Orochimaru's safety even at the cost of their lives.

Pharmacist Dou at the side also adjusted his glasses. Their current situation is not good. If they encounter any strong enemy again, they may not survive.

"Orochimaru, we meet again." A ninja walked out of the shadows, his forehead protector casually hanging around his waist, and a ninja sword in his hand. It was Uchiha Ye Lan.

"I didn't expect it to be Mr. Ye Lan." Orochimaru stuck out his tongue with interest. He had collected some information about Ye Lan and knew that the ninja in front of him was Uchiha Shisui's younger brother, Uchiha Ye Lan, who had just returned to the village recently.

"Mr. Ye Lan, do you have anything to talk to me about? This is not the place to talk." Orochimaru knew that Ye Lan did not take action directly because he must have something to talk to him about, but Orochimaru was a little impatient now and just wanted to leave Konoha as soon as possible.

"I want the technique of Impure World Reincarnation." Ye Lan directly stated his purpose.

"Sure enough, did you see that technique? It seems that Ye Lan-kun also has companions he wants to resurrect, after all, what happened to the Uchiha clan." Orochimaru was not surprised. No matter who it is, they will want to master the ability of resurrection.

Ye Lan: "I have my own method for this technique. You don't need to worry about it."

"You bastard!" Seeing Ye Lan's attitude towards Orochimaru, Tayuya's temper couldn't help but flare up.

Boom—

Ye Lan released his own chakra, and a stream of black chakra burst out from his body. A huge pressure came over them, and Duo Yuya and the others were suppressed and unable to speak.

"Hand you over and I will let you go. If you don't, you should know what will happen to you, Orochimaru!" Ye Lan was not polite at all. He didn't know how the Third Hokage was doing now. Seeing Orochimaru's miserable appearance, he was afraid that the Third Hokage would not be much better off. The enraged Konoha ninja and Anbu would definitely hunt down Orochimaru. It would be beneficial for Ye Lan to continue dragging it on.

"It's been a long time since anyone dared to threaten me, kid..." Orochimaru's eyes flashed with ferocity. He had never been so embarrassed before, and he was threatened by a junior like this.

Ye Lan clenched the ninja sword in his hand and was ready to attack. Kabuto and the others looked at him nervously. Kabuto knew best that if they fought, the best outcome would be that the four Sound Ninjas and himself would all die, and Orochimaru was not sure whether he could escape.

"and many more!"

Ye Lan was ready to form seals with his hands, but Orochimaru suddenly stopped him. He had no confidence that he could escape from Konoha without Ye Lan's obstruction, not to mention that he had seen Jiraiya's iconic toad when he was escaping. If Jiraiya caught up with him again, he would most likely die, which was absolutely unacceptable for him who cherished his life.

Orochimaru spat out a scroll from his mouth and motioned for Kabuto to hand the scroll to Ye Lan.

"This is the scroll of Impure World Reincarnation. I hope you can fulfill your promise." Orochimaru is in a very bad mood now.

Ye Lan took the scroll with some disdain, opened it and took a look. Although he didn't know the specific method and principle of Impure World Reincarnation, he could still tell the authenticity of high-level ninjutsu. After seeing that there was nothing unreasonable, he took the scroll and moved away.

"Let me remind you, Mr. Ye Lan, the use of the Impure World Reincarnation requires a living person as a sacrifice. The stronger the sacrifice, the stronger the resurrected person will be. You must be mentally prepared." Orochimaru said as he passed by Ye Lan, as his mood finally improved after he saw Ye Lan fulfill his promise.

After hearing this, Ye Lan didn't say much, but just closed his eyes and thought.

"I can see that Ye Lan-kun has no loyalty to Konoha. Why don't you leave Konoha with me?" Orochimaru showed a little interest at this time. He had a morbid desire for the Sharingan. Ye Lan was too powerful to be subdued, but if he went back to Sound Village with him, he would be able to subtly change Ye Lan's thinking.

"Hmph, Orochimaru, take away that disgusting look of yours. This is my last warning to you: don't attack Sasuke." Ye Lan opened his eyes, and the three-magatama Sharingan in his pupils slowly turned, "Otherwise, I will kill you wherever you are."
