At the Konoha camp, inside a hidden cave, Orochimaru was intently studying a map when a small snake slithered down from his pant leg, raising its head to hiss softly at him.
Jiraiya, who was sitting nearby and drinking water, nearly choked, spitting out a spray of water. "Orochimaru, can't you keep your snakes under control? It's creepy when they suddenly drop out of your pants."
Orochimaru gave him an icy glare, his golden eyes narrowing with disdain, before returning his focus to the snake.
Tsunade sighed in exasperation and threw a punch at Jiraiya's shoulder. "Shut up, you perv."
Seriously, what kind of description is that?
Snakes dropping out of pants? Your mind is as filthy as ever.
"Manda?" Orochimaru murmured, his interest piqued. After a brief exchange with the small snake, he swiftly exited the cave, heading for the open area outside. He bit his finger and quickly formed a series of seals.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Boom!
A thick cloud of white smoke erupted, revealing Manda's enormous form. But this time, Manda was in terrible shape, covered in wounds and with several of his scales cracked and broken.
Ophis's tail weren't just for show; when used like whips, they inflicted pain that even Manda, with all his toughness, could barely endure. He had been howling in agony the whole time.
Did Manda come to see Orochimaru for a reason?
Was he going to demand more tributes?
Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged glances, well aware of how troublesome Manda could be when it came to his demands.
Orochimaru, however, was taken aback. He hadn't expected Manda to show up in such a battered state.
"Orochimaru-"
Manda began, his voice carrying a mix of pain and irritation, "I'm recovering from injuries and don't have time to deal with you. My new master asked me to inform you that Amegakure is on the move. A large number of their ninja are gathering to surround Konoha's position. Be fully prepared."
"And one more thing," Manda added, his tone shifting to one of finality. "From now on, I'm following my new master. Don't summon me again-I won't respond."
Poof!
With that, Manda vanished, returning to Ryuchi Cave, leaving Orochimaru staring at the spot where the giant serpent had just been, a rare look of surprise on his face, Tsunade and Jiraiya were equally dumbfounded.
They had expected Manda to show up demanding tributes, but instead, he had severed ties with Orochimaru and delivered a warning about Amegakure's movements.
Just like that, he cut ties and left?
