I just returned to Konoha and found that my entire clan was gone.

Where will they go in the vast ninja world? What if this act of kindness leads them to join him later? Orochimaru would definitely welcome them with open arms.

"Orochimaru!" Rasa regained his senses, his face extremely grim. He, the Kazekage, had become a commodity to be traded.

This is a disgrace. Looking at Ye Lan's young age, how could Orochimaru be sure that Ye Lan could beat him? He himself could not fully exert his strength, but his advantages were that he had unlimited chakra and immortality.

He felt that he was being looked down upon.

Ye Lan had no intention of continuing the conversation with Luo Sha. Regardless of Orochimaru's motives, the outcome was acceptable to her.

Ye Lan was a little annoyed that he hadn't killed the guy. This rascal had too many ways to save his life and he was incredibly fast at slipping away. If you weren't careful, he would have gotten away.

"Breaking Army!"

Po Jun immediately understood Ye Lan's thoughts and decisively flew towards Luo Sha. The sharp blades generated in the air struck Jin Sha, who tried to stop him. Ye Lan was unstoppable and was about to reach Luo Sha in the blink of an eye.

Magnetic Escape, Golden Sands Waves

A large mass of golden sand gathered in front of Luo Sha, its momentum overwhelming, like a giant wave that directly engulfed Po Jun's body.

"Uchiha clan brat, don't underestimate the Kazekage!"

Rasa felt that his biggest mistake in life was allying with Orochimaru, and then being betrayed by him. Now, no one, no matter how small, dares to offend him. After all, he was the one who sealed the One-Tailed Beast multiple times, and the title of Kazekage was well-deserved.

Po Jun stopped advancing, intending to break through from above the gold sand. Upon seeing this, Luo Sha immediately controlled the gold sand, causing it to condense into long, thin spikes in the sand of the waves, which, like growing bamboo shoots, pierced towards Po Jun.

"Charge!"

Ye Lan directly commanded Po Jun to rush towards the waves of golden sand. Without any hesitation, Po Jun pounced forward, his entire body instantly submerged in the sand.

"Hmph, Uchiha clan..." Rasa thought he had succeeded when he saw that his attack had hit, but then his expression changed and he suddenly dodged to the side.

brush-

It was too late. A black giant sword emerged from the gold dust and severed the left half of Rasa's body.

"This is..."

Rasa felt no pain. As a reanimated being, his body was already beginning to repair itself, and his dodge just now was merely an instinct.

The scene before him, however, put him under pressure. The black Susanoo had broken through the gold dust, and Ye Lan stood before Rasa like a demon god, his Sharingan eyes now shaped like a cross.

Orochimaru has left, so there's no need to maintain his eye power now. Ye Lan just wants to finish this quickly, but he's a little troubled by the fact that Rasa's body is almost fully repaired.

Chapter 89 Sealing

"The Mangekyou Sharingan? I didn't expect you to have such strength at such a young age. The last Uchiha clan member who was famous in the ninja world was Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique."

Rasa was certainly aware of the existence of the Kaleidoscope, but he didn't know that Yelan was actually more famous than Shisui was back then. If he knew that the person promoting Yelan's reputation was from Sunagakure, would he be angry?

"Shisui is my brother." Ye Lan said expressionlessly. The last time he saw Shisui was when he left the village for the first time to carry out an S-rank mission. Even though he had learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he could no longer see Shisui.

"As expected, the Uchiha clan has always been a cradle of geniuses, but as the Kazekage, I'm not so easily defeated."

Rasa raised his hands, and all the gold dust began to rise, burying Susanoo back in.

The enhanced gold dust slowed down the speed, but its greater weight prevented Ye Lan from escaping easily.

Alluvial gold burial

This technique is capable of sealing even the One-Tailed Beast. The entire mountaintop was submerged in golden sand. Sasuke had already left the area, his Sharingan constantly observing the two sides in battle.

Po Jun's figure flew directly out of the gold dust, emitting a bright eagle cry, which the slowed-down gold dust could not stop.

"This strange summoned beast is a bit troublesome..."

Luo Sha stretched out a hand, and the spears formed by the sand gold kept interfering with Po Jun, preventing it from using its moves. It could only watch helplessly as Ye Lan's Susanoo was submerged by the sand gold.

The ordeal of the gold dust didn't end there. Under Rasa's control, the gold dust was continuously rotated, compressed, and squeezed until it finally exploded with a tremendous sound.

Luo Sha was not happy after the Sand Gold Burial had been performed. He felt it had gone too smoothly. The move was very powerful, but he felt it was too easy to defeat Ye Lan.

"A technique that relies on sealing?" Ever since Ye Lan encountered the Heavenly Dao and was hit by the Planetary Devastation, he had been thinking about how to resolve the situation. Directly using Susanoo to withstand it was definitely not an option, unless his Susanoo evolved again.

So Ye Lan came up with a plan.

He channeled natural energy into Susanoo and shrunk it as much as possible. Indeed, for the same mass, the smaller the volume, the greater the density. He wanted to maximize Susanoo's defense.

Susanoo's defense is considered indestructible by ordinary ninjas, but it is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person when faced with a sealing technique of this level.

Ye Lan shrunk Susanoo to less than one-fifth of its original size, but its quality increased several times over, allowing it to withstand the Sand Gold Burial attack head-on.

Cracks had appeared on the skeleton, and Susanoo's armor was damaged, with strands of gold dust seeping in through the gaps. But the outline of the entire body remained, and he withstood the attack.

The Sand Gold Burial is no match for the Earth Explosion Star, and Luo Sha's strength is not as great as it was in life. Yet Ye Lan smiled, which means his idea was correct.

The right eye's direct attack was activated. Every technique has a weakness, and Ye Lan, surrounded by gold dust, instantly found a weak point.

Biotian Yuzhong

Flames erupted on Susanoo, and with the support of natural energy and Kotoamatsukuni, Susanoo began to move, its eyes beneath the Susanoo mask emitting a golden light.

"How is this possible!" Luo Sha couldn't believe that he could still move while trapped in the Sand Gold Burial. Others would dodge and use techniques to break through moves, but Ye Lan could just take it all in.

Luo Sha squatted down and increased his control over the gold dust with both hands, burying all the gold dust towards Ye Lan's location.

But the commotion inside grew louder and louder, and finally, with a loud bang, Susanoo's greatsword shattered the gold dust. Rasa never imagined that the Gold Dust Burial would be broken so brutally.

The black Susanoo was badly damaged, with only the skeleton remaining in many places. Ye Lan, who was inside, felt no discomfort except for some excessive consumption of her pupil power.

After stepping out of the spot where the gold dust was buried, Ye Lan released Susanoo. He also felt a little dazed. It was the first time he had used up so much of his eye power, and even with the natural energy nourishing his eyes, he still felt a stinging pain.

However, the matter was not over yet. Seeing that Ye Lan was unharmed, Po Jun also launched an attack on Luo Sha, with wind blades and lightning nets smashing directly at his head.

Luo Sha, who was somewhat shocked by Ye Lan's performance, was caught off guard by Po Jun's attack and suddenly became flustered.

While it's true that the Impure World Reincarnation technique grants unlimited chakra and an immortal body, Orochimaru didn't fully utilize its power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that Rasa only possessed most of his previous strength. These things require time to recover, and now is precisely the time when he is at his weakest.

Ye Lan seized the opportunity and instantly appeared next to Luo Sha. Luo Sha is a typical ninja who is like a turret; once you get close, he will lose most of his strength.

Luo Sha knew something was wrong. His hand, which was trying to control the sand gold, was severed by Ye Lan in an instant. Although the impure earth body could be restored, it was too late.

Ye Lan wouldn't give Luo Sha another chance. She quickly formed several hand seals and slapped them directly onto Luo Sha's body. Physical attacks were useless against Edo Tensei and would only wear him down. Having already studied Edo Tensei, Ye Lan naturally knew how to deal with it.

Thanks to the sealing scroll given by Tsunade, Ye Lan created an Edo Tensei seal to counter this technique when he experimented with it. As long as he gets close, he can seal the target of the Edo Tensei.

However, there is a prerequisite for using this technique: you must be very close to the opponent, and the opponent's strength cannot be far greater than your own, otherwise you will not be able to suppress the chakra in the Edo Tensei body.

"Sealing technique? I didn't expect you to use this kind of ninjutsu..."

The light in Luo Sha's eyes gradually faded; this body had lost its soul and become a true corpse.

When Luo Sha disappeared, Ye Lan seemed to realize something. The Impure World Reincarnation experiments he had conducted only had the appearance but no consciousness. What was missing was the soul of the dead, and the soul of the dead could not return to the body.

"It's over." Sasuke walked to Ye Lan's side. This mission involved too many things. Orochimaru's ambush was very unusual, but there was something else that concerned him even more.

"Ye Lan, will you leave Konoha in the future?"

Ye Lan put away the scroll that sealed Rasa. He still needed to go back and study the conjecture about the Impure World Reincarnation. After hearing Sasuke's words, his movements visibly paused.

Po Jun glanced at the two of them, sighed, and without saying hello, directly dispelled the spiritual connection.

"Sasuke, sometimes you shouldn't ask me." Ye Lan looked tired. His Sharingan had turned back to its original black color, and the aftereffects of the Mangekyou Sharingan had suddenly kicked in. Just now it was just a stinging pain, but now it felt like being pricked with needles.

Ye Lan was only enduring the pain as she spoke to Sasuke with some difficulty.

"Any choice I make depends on...the choices others make."

Sasuke didn't understand what Ye Lan was saying. Whether or not to leave Konoha was up to Ye Lan himself, so why would he say that?

Moreover, saying "leave" is just a euphemism. Any ninja in Konoha who leaves the village without permission is a rogue ninja. Sasuke, who already has bonds with the village, will have to make a decision.

"Alright, let's go back." Ye Lan had just taken a few steps when she stumbled and almost fell, her vision already feeling a little blurry.

At this moment, Ye Lan clearly felt someone help him up and looked to see Sasuke beside him.

"You should rest properly." Sasuke saw Ye Lan's condition and went to his side to help him up.

"I need to get some rest. There's still a lot to do when we get back." Ye Lan wasn't sure what choice Sasuke would make at first, so she didn't want to expose her weakness in front of him. Now she had a better idea of ​​what was going on.

Ye Lan looked towards Konoha. There were still many scores to settle when he got back. Now he needed to figure out why Sasuke had been attacked and who was responsible. He hadn't had a chance to ask Sasuke before, so he could take this opportunity to get to the bottom of it.

Chapter 90 Arrangement

Kakashi was quite concerned about Ye Lan's departure. He searched for a day or two, turning over every corner of the village, but couldn't find him. After thinking about it, he decided it would be better to tell Tsunade about it.

As he approached the door of Tsunade's office, he heard a loud slam on the table, indicating that Tsunade was in a very bad mood.

"Kakashi, what is it?" Tsunade was a little angry, but she still sensed someone at the door. After finding out it was Kakashi, she let him in.

"Am I coming at a bad time?" Kakashi walked into the office with some trepidation. He had genuine respect for Tsunade, but he was still a little guilty about her temper.

"Don't worry about it, just tell me what you want to see me about?"

Tsunade seemed somewhat absent-minded, her eyes appearing unfocused.

"Well, there were some unexpected circumstances..." Kakashi told Tsunade about Ye Lan's sudden disappearance. The sudden disappearance of a Jonin in Konoha was a very serious matter, and the Hokage should be informed.

"You mean it disappeared suddenly like a shadow clone?" Tsunade's eyes regained focus as she stared at Kakashi.

"That's right, but I sensed some spatial fluctuations. It felt like something was being teleported away and then disappeared. I searched the whole village but couldn't find him."

Kakashi's perception of space has improved significantly; he didn't have such a keen sense of space before.

“It’s a reverse summoning technique…” Tsunade, with her knowledge, immediately recognized it, her eyes flickering with uncertainty.

"Reverse Summoning Technique?" Kakashi had only heard of it before, and this was the first time he had seen such a technique. He didn't react for a moment, but then he remembered Ye Lan's prepared actions and everything made sense.

"I think I know where he is." Tsunade took out a piece of paper from the drawer. At that moment, a message from Sasuke's ANBU team had just arrived in Konoha and been deciphered.

Tsunade had been hesitant about whether to let Kakashi know about this, but after hearing about Ye Lan's actions, she felt a little relieved.

"This is..." Kakashi took the letter and read it quickly. By the end, even the usually calm Kakashi's expression turned somewhat cold.

"Orochimaru, he still hasn't given up..."

"I really don't know why he's so obsessed with the Sharingan. He's such an unpredictable person." Tsunade no longer felt any affection for her old classmate. Even though Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage, she didn't feel any disgust. She just didn't quite understand his actions.

"The place where Ye Lan reversed his summoning..." Kakashi finally understood why Tsunade said she knew where Ye Lan had gone.

"This is probably a backup plan that Ye Lan left for Sasuke. Moreover, Orochimaru is not in good condition right now, and I estimate that the two of them will return to the village soon." Although Tsunade said this, there was no happy expression on her face.

"That puts my mind at ease." Kakashi, unaware of the danger, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that his student and friend were alright.

"Kakashi." Kakashi was about to take his leave when Tsunade called out to him, her face somewhat gloomy.
