Based on the abilities the other party had previously demonstrated, Orochimaru blurted out, "They can even control the blood in my body? This is definitely not something an ordinary bloodline limit could do!"

Controlling...the enemy's blood?!

Sasuke was shocked again. How the hell was he supposed to defend against this?

Isn't this invincible power!

"As expected of Orochimaru. If you survive this time, I might consider giving you a chance to work for me."

"Wait a moment..."

Shinji completely ignored it and activated the technique that had been lurking in Orochimaru's body for a long time.

Crimson Blood Technique: Ultimate Technique: Blood Deception!

puff...

The next moment, countless blood rings burst forth from Orochimaru's body, instantly slicing his body into pieces.

In this way of dying, even the Orochi-style substitution technique would be absolutely useless.

Even so, Orochimaru was still struggling.

A small white snake, using the fragments of the corpse as cover, slithered towards the red bean not far away.

If he can get onto Hongdou, he might be able to escape this place.

However, the next second, a blood-red blade swiftly severed the little white snake's head, and then a large number of blood needles pinned its head and body to the ground.

This is Shinji's territory; how could such a small action possibly escape his notice?

Furthermore, he knew that even if he killed the little white snake, Orochimaru could still be resurrected sooner or later as long as the Heavenly Curse Seal remained.

So even if you kill the unconscious Red Bean in front of you, it won't make a difference.

Heaven knows how many contingency plans Orochimaru had in store, just like his numerous secret bases scattered throughout the ninja world.

"it's over..."

Sasuke felt somewhat dazed and unreal.

The terrifying enemy that had just rendered him completely powerless was as fragile as a child in front of Shinji.

Is this the difference between ninjas?

Furthermore, he also heard what Shinji's older brother said: the enemy was actually Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Although this name is a taboo subject rarely mentioned in Konoha, that doesn't stop many people from knowing it.

After all, the name of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha is extremely famous in the ninja world.

The fact that such a powerful figure infiltrated the Chunin Exams suggests that he must be involved in some huge conspiracy.

If it weren't for Shinji's timely appearance and rescue, he probably would have died here.

How are you feeling?

After dispelling the barrier, Shinji walked over and asked.

Sasuke immediately blurted out excitedly, "Powerful, incomparably powerful!"

"Can you teach me this power, Shinji-nii?"

It is known that Kakashi-sensei used to tremble in front of Orochimaru, while the incredibly powerful Orochimaru was no match for Shinji.

It's easy to see who is stronger.

Thus, Sasuke's slightly wavering thoughts, caused by Chidori, instantly became unwavering once again.

Kakashi-sensei might have a way to make him stronger, but he definitely couldn't make him stronger than that man in a short period of time.

Therefore, his choice was correct!

He left Konoha and followed his older brother Shinji.

Shinji shook his head slightly and said, "This is my power, not yours. Everyone has their own path to walk, and you've already been on your own path for a long time, haven't you?"

Shinji lightly tapped Sasuke's eyes twice with his two fingers.

[Chapter 238. The Future Is Yours]

Although Sasuke didn't get any promises from Shinji, his confidence, which had been repeatedly shattered, was repaired.

Even though I kept getting beaten up—first by Shinji, then by Hidan, then by Rock Lee, then by Orochimaru...

But I've always believed I'll be the strongest... well, in the future!

"By the way, Shinji-nii, what are you doing here?"

Shinji looked at Erzhuzi, who was still relatively easy to fool, and changed his tune, saying, "Seeing that you didn't take my advice to heart, you managed to sneak in. If you had chosen to give up from the beginning, you might not have made it to me. So don't underestimate yourself because of temporary wins or losses. The future is yours."

Sure enough, Erzhuzi was immediately fooled.

On one hand, I felt ashamed of my arrogance, and on the other hand, I was very touched that the other person would sneak into the examination room for my sake.

The phrase "The future is yours" made his blood boil and filled him with excitement.

If there is anyone in this world who can understand me, then it must be Shinji!

If people knew what Sasuke was thinking at that moment, Itachi and Naruto would probably cry their eyes out in the bathroom.

It's true what they say: true feelings are hard to retain, but tricks win people's hearts!

One last thing, Sharingan Yu Po, YYDS!

"Well, I see!"

Seeing that he had completely fooled Erzhuzi, Shinji didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. Before leaving, he could only remind him, "I have to go. Someone will be coming to check on things soon. Do you know what to say then?"

Sasuke immediately said in a deep voice, "I fainted and have no idea what happened. When I woke up, the person was gone."

"Great, that's settled then. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Sasuke nodded firmly, "I will definitely get first place in this Chunin Exams and prove that I have the potential to join you."

Shinji gave a casual "hmm" twice, and seeing that he had said everything he needed to say, he immediately left the scene.

Sasuke, who had inexplicably experienced a life-or-death ordeal, felt that he had become more mature.

Well, he's not far from the Erzhuzi I remember, who always said "I won't listen" no matter what you said.

Not long after Shinji left.

The secret agents finally arrived.

Sasuke was also a wolf in sheep's clothing; to ensure everything went perfectly, he knocked himself unconscious.

Therefore, the testimony he gave after being woken up by the members of the Dark Division was flawless.

These candidates were already incredibly lucky to be alive in the face of that legendary figure.

Although I don't know why they were spared, it's ultimately a good thing.

Perhaps only Hongdou, who had also woken up, had an unpleasant expression on her face.

For her, being spared by Orochimaru once again was not something to be thankful for, but rather a deep humiliation.

After checking Sasuke and the others and finding nothing, the Anbu members approached Anko and said, "The Hokage has summoned us. Someone else has been temporarily assigned to oversee the examination area. We'll be heading back immediately."

Anko knew the importance and urgency of the matter. First of all, the matter of Orochimaru's intrusion could not be publicized and had to be handled discreetly, otherwise it would be a blow to Konoha's reputation.

If people from other ninja villages find out, they will definitely demand an explanation from Konoha.

Their examinees can die during the exam, but they can't die at the hands of Konoha's rogue ninja. What would that mean?

Furthermore, Anko, who has faced Orochimaru twice and survived, will definitely report the firsthand information to the Hokage so that targeted arrangements can be made based on her information, and to confirm Orochimaru's purpose for infiltrating.

Thinking even deeper, could it be that she, Orochimaru's former disciple, has also betrayed him?

Otherwise, why would Orochimaru have spared her twice?

Furthermore, no one can guarantee that memories erased by forbidden techniques won't resurface.

Therefore, Hongdou is no longer suitable to serve as the chief examiner for this exam, and she will not be freed until it is confirmed that this matter has nothing to do with her.

On her way out, Anko was already mentally prepared for this, until she met the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Red Bean told the whole story without hiding anything, including her initial thought of taking Orochimaru down with her.

After listening, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time, lost in thought.

"According to you, before you passed out, only Uchiha Sasuke was still conscious at the scene. And just when you found Orochimaru, he was about to attack you, is that right?"

"Yes..."

After hesitating for a moment, Anko still voiced her guess, "I suspect that Sasuke Uchiha might have been targeted by Orochimaru, which is why he didn't kill him. But after I woke up and carefully examined Sasuke's body, I didn't find any cursed seal, which makes me very puzzled."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took two puffs of his pipe, looked up and asked, "Then what do you think the reason might be?"

"I don't know either. Maybe they gave up for some reason, or maybe something unexpected happened. Who knows?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "Go and rest. A medical ninja will examine you in detail later. We'll talk about it after the Chunin Exams. Consider this time as a vacation for you."

Although I was mentally prepared and knew that the rules were like this.

But when the moment actually arrived, Hongdou still felt a little lost. This feeling of being suspected even though she hadn't done anything was just awful.

But she also knew that as Hokage, she had to do it.

After Anko left, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately showed a deep look of exhaustion. "Since you left back then, why did you come back now?"

"Is it just to get revenge on this old geezer?"

"As expected, my personality is not suited to this position. If I had been more decisive instead of being indecisive and sentimental, perhaps this day would not have come."

Orochimaru's appearance cast a deep shadow over Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

This gave him a premonition that the upcoming Chunin Exams might not be peaceful either.

But he wasn't completely unprepared...

Knock knock knock.

A knock came at the door.

"Come in."
