Chapter 336: Orochimaru feels the pressure! Human imps are the best with their delicate skin and tender flesh!
"Human Puppets?"
"He just said that Advisor Ebizo made Human Puppets?"
Fujiwara Tetsuya's voice was neither loud nor quiet... just loud enough for everyone around to hear clearly.
Under Chiyo's gloomy gaze, countless Sunagakure Ninja gradually became restless.
Compared to Ninja from other villages, Sunagakure Ninja... undoubtedly knew more clearly what a Human Puppet represented.
"Quiet down, all of you... Don't easily believe this brat's one-sided story!"
"Don't forget, this brat... is our enemy!"
"Also, Ebizo... he is a man who inherited the mantle of the Second Hokage, how could he dabble in such a taboo."
Seeing Chiyo bring up the Second Hokage, the numerous Sunagakure Ninja could only suppress the shock and doubt in their hearts... and refocus their attention on Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Heh... Believe it or not, after all, who can really tell what's true and what's false?"
"For the upcoming battle, the weak should retreat... Those who deem themselves worthy of standing before me, come at me with Chiyo!"
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya's right hand thundered, a ghost-like figure once again charged towards Chiyo... Boom~~~
The battle between Orochimaru and the Third Kazekage, along with many Sunagakure Elite Jonin, ultimately saw Orochimaru fall into a disadvantage.
The moment the Sand Iron Cylinder swept across, Orochimaru felt as if he had been struck by a meteor, his body uncontrollably falling towards the distant ruins.
"Orochimaru, I told you... you can't escape."
"Now you... are outnumbered and outmatched, with no chance of turning the tide."
Carried by the sand iron, and surrounded by dozens of Sunagakure powerhouses... the Third Kazekage slowly approached Orochimaru.
"Cough~"
"Third Kazekage, everyone says you are the strongest Kazekage in Sunagakure's history... but in my opinion, you are nothing special..."
"You don't even have the courage to fight me alone!"
Due to his injuries, Orochimaru's face became increasingly pale... but the aura around him showed no signs of weakening.
Or rather... it could be said that after falling into despair, Orochimaru became even more rational, wise... and terrifying.
"Want to fight alone?"
"After our Hidden Sand Village wins this war, I will give you that chance, but... before that, you will have to stay in our Hidden Sand Village's prison for a while."
"Take down Orochimaru... just leave him enough breath to live!"
The moment the Third Kazekage's words fell, dozens of figures swiftly pounced on Orochimaru, feeling the terrifying power contained within each of those Ninjutsu.
Orochimaru gritted his teeth... and could only choose to abandon rescuing Fujiwara Tomomi and the other three.
One Third Kazekage was already difficult enough... adding a large number of Sunagakure elites, unless the Three Sannin gathered... otherwise, there was no chance of victory... Ryūchi Cave.
Not long after Manda left, it returned to its nest amidst the wary gazes of many large snakes.
Looking at Manda's huge fangs, Fujiwara Aiko, Tanaka Miyako, and the other five felt as if they were enveloped by an aura of death.
"Human brats, your time is up..."
"For weak brats like you to be eaten by Lord Manda, it's enough to brag about even in the Pure Land."
Amidst his wild laughter, Manda's foul-smelling tongue licked Fujiwara Aiko, Tanaka Miyako, and Uesugi Mako one by one.
A hint of pleasure was on his ugly face.
Ever since it signed a contract with Orochimaru, most of the humans it ate were defeated Ninja, or... vicious mountain bandits and thieves.
But in terms of age, they were generally sixteen or seventeen and older... far older than Fujiwara Aiko and the others.
"Let Lord Manda have a good taste... just how delicious human brats are..."
"Big Brother Tetsuya... goodbye..."
Seeing Manda open its gaping maw and bite down on them, Fujiwara Aiko, Tanaka Miyako, and the others were so scared they closed their eyes.
In their hearts... they were making their final farewells.
Rumble~
Just as Manda was about to swallow Fujiwara Aiko, Uesugi Mako, and the other five... a crimson snake shadow appeared, raising its massive tail and fiercely striking Manda's head, sending Manda flying a hundred meters... crashing heavily into the sturdy rock wall.
"This is..."
As the aftermath swept through, Fujiwara Aiko, Uesugi Mako, and the others... opened their eyes again.
However, upon seeing the even larger figure not far away, their eyes froze, and their bodies uncontrollably recoiled.
"Who is it? Who is attacking me?"
The moment Manda broke free from the debris, he instantly entered a berserk state, and amidst the deafening roar... the entire nest began to tremble continuously.
"It's you... Shinya! Why are you here?"
"Shinya?"
Hearing Manda's clamor, Fujiwara Aiko suppressed her fear, slowly revealing a gap in the hand covering her eyes, and looked towards Shinya... "Shinya! I've already explained that matter to you..."
"Have you forgotten the White Snake Sage's warning?"
"Shinya! Don't bully... don't bully a snake too much!"
The matter Manda mentioned... traced back to the time Fujiwara Tetsuya summoned Shinya.
Because Fujiwara Tetsuya deliberately provoked Shinya, he praised Manda as the strongest great snake in Ryūchi Cave.
After returning to Ryūchi Cave, Shinya obviously took this matter to heart... every now and then, he would run to Manda's territory and beat Manda up for various reasons.
Due to the difference in strength, no matter how aggrieved Manda was... to avoid being bothered by Shinya again.
Ultimately, Manda sought out the White Snake Sage, and Shinya... after the White Snake Sage intervened, seemed to lose interest in Manda, at least for the past month he had been honestly staying in his own nest and had not continued to trouble Manda.
"Hmph~"
"Manda, you bastard, quiet down..."
"What about the White Snake Sage? Do you really think I'm afraid of it?"
Noticing the fear in Manda's eyes, Shinya became even more disdainful... Could such a character become the strongest great snake in Ryūchi Cave?
He really didn't know what that brat was thinking.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you trouble this time."
"But for these five brats..."
"Manda, I'm taking these five brats."
As he spoke, Shinya slowly lowered his huge snake head, and his crimson tongue also swept over Fujiwara Aiko, Uesugi Mako, and the other five one by one... After a brief discernment, Shinya's huge snake pupils gradually focused on Fujiwara Aiko, Tanaka Miyako, and Uesugi Mako.
"These five human brats?"
"Hahaha~ Shinya, aren't you against eating humans because of that ridiculous bond?"
"Could it be... after hundreds of years of baptism, you've finally come to your senses?"
Hearing that Shinya wanted to take Fujiwara Aiko and the others away, Manda immediately became excited... the piercing roar constantly echoed deep within the nest.
"Manda, you're talking too much..."
"Of course, if you don't agree, I don't mind teaching you another lesson."
"Your injuries should be mostly healed over the past month, right? So, I wouldn't be bullying you!"
