Sarutobi Linko at the side, at this moment, brushed off the blood from her hands. At her feet, a giant snake over ten meters long, looked as if it had been executed by a thousand cuts, its flesh turned over, not a single part intact. Blood gushed from the corpse, staining the ground red.

Meanwhile, two Anbu also happened to arrive here, led by Kakashi, ready to face Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, surrender. Do not persist in your folly."

Sarutobi Linko slightly lowered her hand, which was still stained with a layer of red snake blood. Her gaze was as sharp as a blade, piercing towards Orochimaru's heart.

"Don't think that with three more useless beings you have me cornered. It's about time, I have no time to play house with you!"

Orochimaru formed complex hand seals.

"Stop him!"

Sarutobi Ryu, Sarutobi Linko, and Kakashi attacked Orochimaru from different directions, trying to stop his Ninja Techniques.

A wicked smile appeared on Orochimaru's face as he bit his finger and then placed one hand on the ground, a radial black curse script spread around.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

A massive shadow swept across, causing the expressions of the three charging at the front to drastically change.

An overwhelming aura surged forth, fundamentally different from the snake-like creatures summoned before.

A colossal body over twenty meters long intimidated anyone with an unmatched presence just by coiling there.

The two weaker Anbu members, upon seeing this, felt as if their souls were trembling when the giant snake appeared.

It was a giant snake with black and purple interlaced rings, its eyes glaring menacingly at Kakashi and the others the moment it emerged.

"Trample them, Manda."

Ordered Orochimaru from atop the giant snake's head.

"Hmph, the opponents are Konoha Ninjas? Orochimaru, it seems you have been up to something rather interesting recently."

Manda did not rush to attack but spoke in a cold, mocking tone.

"Since when are you interested in my affairs?"

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse.

"I have no interest in a guy like you. What I'm saying is, prepare a hundred living humans afterward, I haven't had a decent meal in a long time!"

"You will be compensated after it's over."

Orochimaru replied with an indifference beyond measure.

To be honest, he didn't like Manda's ungovernable attitude, but at times, he needed Manda's power to assist himself in securing victory.

The reason being, perhaps, Manda's strength was not inferior to his own.

"Manda? Looks like a big problem has been summoned."

Sarutobi Ryu muttered while gazing fondly at Manda.

Dealing with such a large Summoning Beast wasn't quite his specialty either.

Saying so, he exchanged glances with Sarutobi Linko, who nodded knowingly, her figure flashing, fearlessly rushing towards Manda.

"Courting death, human woman!"

Despite acknowledging its majesty, yet still daring to attack recklessly, Manda roared in anger,

Its body instantly swirled, carrying an incredibly violent force, sweeping its tail with a momentum to destroy everything.

A vast expanse of trees in the forest collapsed, and the earth was deeply scraped over, turned upside down.

But this was merely the Destructive Power caused by Manda's casual action.

This is where the trouble with large Summoning Beasts lies.

Even a slight movement of their body can instantly provoke a tsunami-like large-scale attack, and for ordinary ninjas, facing such a large Summoning Beast only leads to being trampled.

Sarutobi Linko narrowly dodged Manda's tail-sweep attack, the gale from in front causing a slight stinging sensation to her body.

But she paid no heed to it, instead swinging her hand knife, sharp Chakra Scalpel gathering in her hand, slicing open a cut on Manda's body, blood sprayed out.

"Woman!"

Manda cried out in pain, its eyes bloodshot with rage.

This hateful human woman had actually wounded its precious body.

Yet it was secretly alarmed, for ordinary blades couldn't even qualify to leave a mark on its skin, but Sarutobi Linko's Chakra Scalpel had directly cut into its flesh.

Even though Manda was furious, it also put away its contempt. If careless, it might end up taking a massive tumble today.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"

Orochimaru launched an attack from atop Manda.

Dozens of long snakes emerged from his sleeve, either biting or coiling, circling to attack Sarutobi Linko from behind.

Tss!

The Chakra Blade with a hot aura sliced through, severing the heads of the long snakes, while the headless bodies twisted and writhed in the air, giving an unsettling feeling.

Orochimaru frowned as danger approached from behind, he shifted his body slightly, the White Fang Short Knife, wrapped in a moon-white glow, pierced air.

Orochimaru turned, reaching for Kakashi's neck, as if to grasp his throat.

Kakashi adeptly executed a backward roll, moving quickly to the rear to dodge Orochimaru's attack range.

"Too slow."

Orochimaru's voice rang out from behind, with Kakashi having no time to turn and defend, he was kicked away by Orochimaru, rolling across Manda's body.

After stopping the rolling, just as Kakashi stood up, Orochimaru was already back in front of him, a fist pressed against Kakashi's abdomen, a mischievous yet wicked smile on his face.

"Go back."

Bang!

His body was like a kite with a broken string, spitting blood from his mouth, rolling on the ground, and only halted upon crashing into a distant large tree.
