Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 270 The Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Orochimaru felt a warmth in his heart.

Even though he and Jiraiya were already on opposing sides, and they had to fight side by side as they used to, Jiraiya was still willing to risk his life to protect him.

Just as Orochimaru was feeling moved, Jiraiya's words immediately dampened his emotions: "By the way, cover me for five minutes..."

"..."

Orochimaru wanted to curse.

Does this bastard even speak human language?

As expected of the teacher who taught Akihara Kagura, they all say the same nonsense. With the attack strength of Pain's Six Paths, how could I cover him for five minutes?

"I absolutely cannot be attacked in these five minutes."

Regardless of Orochimaru's thoughts, Jiraiya, at this moment, trusted Orochimaru completely and stated his purpose directly: "I need five minutes to enter Sage Mode..."

"it is good."

Orochimaru swallowed back the curse he was about to utter and made his request: "Before that, summon a summoning beast to assist me..."

"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"

Jiraiya was finally able to unleash his summoning beasts without restraint outside, and he summoned a giant toad with one claw holding a fork and the other holding a shield!

"Gama Ken..."

Jiraiya was somewhat disappointed, but not too disappointed.

Because Gamaken was also one of the high-ranking members of Mount Myōboku and was Gamabunta's brother, he had a better temper than Gamabunta, and coincidentally, he didn't particularly resent fighting alongside Orochimaru.

Jiraiya couldn't waste any time, so he hurriedly instructed, "Gamaken, you will assist Orochimaru in this battle. Follow Orochimaru's orders. I need five minutes to absorb natural energy and summon the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima..."

"good…"

Gamaken nodded, but honestly voiced his concern: "I'll listen to him, but what if this guy lets the snakes of Ryuchi Cave eat me...?"

"..."

Orochimaru's face darkened.

No, it won't.

Jiraiya abruptly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "The rest is up to you. Don't let Nagato and his puppet break my state within five minutes!"

"knew…"

Orochimaru gave an impatient snort.

"Five minutes, huh..."

Pain raised his hand and coldly said, "Five minutes is enough for me to kill you countless times! Universal Pull!"

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Gamaken were involuntarily drawn towards them!

However, Gamaken did not hesitate. He reached out and raised the fork in his hand, sticking it into Jiraiya's waist and pinning Jiraiya to the ground, preventing Jiraiya from flying towards Pain and also preventing himself from flying over there!

"..."

Jiraiya's eyes widened involuntarily.

Hama Ken's methods are really simple and brutal!

But I have to say…

This method is the best option!

"Shinra Tensei!"

Pain frowned and raised his hand to unleash a repulsive force!

However, Gamaken decisively raised his shield and stood firmly in front of Jiraiya and Orochimaru to prevent Jiraiya's body from being blown away by the repulsive force. His body was unable to resist being suddenly blown away, and he didn't care even though he was spitting blood from the impact of the repulsive force!

"He really is an honest guy..."

Orochimaru's body was also sent flying backward, but while in the air, he hurriedly released the Orochi Style Substitution Technique, opening his mouth wide and shedding a layer of skin!

Orochimaru's lower body suddenly transformed into a snake tail, and he charged towards Pain's direction with a wave of his hand, unleashing countless long snakes!

"The Formation of Ten Thousand Serpents!"

"This guy..."

Pain's abilities have entered a cooldown period.

Asura Path Pain directly detached his wrist, and a string of missiles appeared on his arm. These missiles flew directly towards the snake swarm, blasting the snakes at the front into pieces!

"Spiritual communication!"

Animal Path Pain clasped his hands and summoned a spirit!

A giant Yatagarasu flew out and rushed towards the snake swarm. It laid eggs in its belly, and the eggs exploded the moment they hit the ground!

The Ten Thousand Snakes Formation was quickly destroyed by this Yatagarasu!

Just at this moment...

Pain's Shinra Tensei was finally off cooldown. He raised his hand again and unleashed a powerful repulsive force: "Shinra Tensei!"

However, Orochimaru anticipated the enemy's move and preemptively formed hand seals to summon the spirit!

"Spiritual Spell: Triple Rashomon!"

The three Rashomon gates emerged directly from the ground and appeared in front of Orochimaru!

These three Rashomon gates seemed to descend from hell, resembling gaping human faces, constantly weakening the repulsive force of Pain's attack!

Each Rashomon gate weakens the repulsive force of Pain's Deva Path!

The first Rashomon was destroyed by Pain's repulsive force. The second Rashomon weakened the repulsive force's attack. Even Pain's repulsive force couldn't break through the attack of the third Rashomon!

"..."

Pain narrowed his eyes in surprise.

"Your repulsive force has a cooldown period, right...?"

Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile. His body moved with the agility of a snake, suddenly bypassing the Six Paths of Pain and heading towards Nagato!

Obviously!

Orochimaru wanted to head straight for Nagato, who was controlling the puppet!

"Spiritual communication!"

Nagato summoned a giant chameleon, which carried Nagato's body and disappeared from Orochimaru's sight!

"Has it disappeared..."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

The enormous Yatagarasu swooped down from the sky directly towards Orochimaru's body, its beak open, ready to snatch Orochimaru, the snake!

"Spiritual communication!"

Orochimaru raised his hand and formed a hand seal, releasing a long brown snake. This long brown snake disregarded its own life and death, and was directly taken away by the claws of the Yatagarasu in Orochimaru's place!

"Spiritual communication!"

The animal realm once again summoned a gigantic fighting bull!

The bull reared up and roared, charging straight towards Orochimaru, the earth trembling beneath its hooves!

Bang!

Gamaken leaped to Orochimaru's side, wielding his shield and sending the bull flying!

"Not bad..."

Orochimaru chuckled softly.

The giant toads of Mount Myōboku are all arrogant and haughty, but Gamaken in front of them is honest and simple, which is rare in that Orochimaru doesn't dislike him.

"Spiritual communication!"

The animal slammed its hand on the ground!

A hellhound emerged from the smoke and pounced towards Orochimaru and Gamaken, turning the area into a battlefield for summoning beasts!

"Spiritual communication!"

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his hand and released an exceptionally large python. This python was so enormous that it was somewhat frightening; just looking at its size, it was even larger than the mountain next to it!

"Is it Manda?"

Hama Ken looked over with some curiosity.

"It's the second generation Manda."

Orochimaru chuckled casually as he watched the massive Second Generation Manda swallow the Cerberus whole.

After Manda was used as a sacrifice by Akihara Kagura, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi used the blood cells extracted from Manda to cultivate the second generation Manda.

after all…

Summoning beasts are an important component of a ninja's strength.

The second-generation Manda is larger and stronger than the first-generation Manda, and its personality is also more docile and gentle.

and…

The second-generation Manda is not like those arrogant bunch from Ryuchi Cave!

When the second-generation Manda appeared, the situation on the entire battlefield was immediately reversed, and none of the summoned beasts present were its match!

After killing the Cerberus, the second-generation Manda quickly coiled around the bull fighting with Gamaken, directly binding the bull's body and swallowing it whole!

The Yatagarasu swooped down from the sky, intending to drop a string of bombs on the Second Generation Manda, but the Second Generation Manda soared into the sky, caught the Yatagarasu's body in its mouth, and swallowed the bird whole!

This second-generation Manda...

It is clearly the overlord among spirit beasts!

A group of summoning beasts trained by the special abilities of the Rinnegan were no match for it and were wiped out in no time!

"Is this all the Rinnegan's summoning techniques are capable of?"

Orochimaru sneered, not caring much about the Animal Path Pain's skill in raising summoned beasts. He raised a finger and controlled the Second Manda to charge towards the Six Paths of Pain!

The second-generation Manda swam over quickly, its eyes gentle as it opened its mouth and spat out puffs of purple poisonous mist toward the direction of Pain!

"Shinra Tensei!"

Pain, undaunted, raised his hand and unleashed an extremely powerful repulsive force, sending the Second Generation Manda flying. However, the Second Generation Manda coiled itself around the mountain, forcefully resisting the attack of the summoned beast!

The entire battlefield suddenly became quite tense!

Over the past few years, Orochimaru has developed countless techniques. Although he lacks the ability to defeat the Six Paths of Pain, he possesses an extremely agile body and powerful vitality. Coupled with various powerful snake summoning beasts, delaying for five minutes is not a difficult task for Orochimaru. In fact, relying on the power of the Second Manda, he might even be able to suppress his opponent!

The battle took a dramatic turn. Pain was entangled by the Second Manda, while Orochimaru and Gamaken stood atop the Second Manda, quietly waiting for Jiraiya to complete Sage Mode.

Atop a dragon head that can turn invisible and change color.

Nagato remained seated, relying on the chameleon's agile movement and stealth abilities to ensure he wouldn't be caught in the crossfire, while Konan stood beside him, watching over him.

When Konan saw the Second Generation Manda wreaking havoc, she couldn't sit still any longer and volunteered, "Nagato, let me deal with it..."

"It's only temporary."

Nagato shook his head and continued, "The Six Paths of Pain can handle it, as long as the Deva Path of Pain allocates more chakra to Shinra Tensei..."

to be frank.

This is actually quite tricky.

Because the second-generation Manda was so enormous, its soul was extremely resilient. Even the Human Path had to spend a considerable amount of time trying to extract its soul, and it couldn't even find a suitable opportunity.

The only thing that should have been able to restrain the second-generation Manda was the Animal Path, but all the summoned beasts it summoned were directly swallowed by the second-generation Manda, thus it was actually restrained by it...

just now…

The only option is for Pain to unleash a powerful Shinra Tensei.

"Don't use that technique."

Konan knew very well that Nagato could still control Pain's Deva Path to use the terrifying Shinra Tensei, which gathered all of Pain's chakra, and could definitely defeat the Second Manda!

but…

That technique will put an unbearable strain on Nagato's body!

"Let me go."

Konan's body transformed into sheets of origami, and she softly found a reason to persuade Nagato: "Your chakra needs to be saved for the most crucial moment. Jiraiya-sensei is still gathering some powerful technique..."

"..."

Nagato could only nod slowly.

next moment!

Countless origami scrolls flew towards the second-generation Manda!

Konan's body formed a half-body in mid-air, and a pair of origami wings unfolded behind her as she stared intently at the rampaging second-generation Manda!

Folded paper was pasted onto the body of the Second Generation Manda. Each folded paper turned into an explosive tag and exploded instantly, creating bleeding wounds on the Second Generation Manda's body!

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The second-generation Manda hissed in agony!

If this continues, it will be killed by countless explosive tags!

However, the second-generation Manda was obedient and docile by nature. It would only obey Orochimaru's orders, allowing Konan's explosive tags to bombard it, and it would also try its best to protect Jiraiya!

but…

The time has finally come!

Just when Manda the Second Generation, who had been bombarded by Konan with explosive tags, was about to give up, Jiraiya finally completed his Sage Mode!

"Gamaken, thank you, you can go back now..."

A relaxed smile flickered across Jiraiya's lips as his Sage Mode frog form gradually materialized on his face: "Fukasaku and Shima the Sage are about to arrive..."

"good…"

Hama Jian nodded and vanished in a puff of smoke.

next moment!

A powerful burst of chakra suddenly erupted from Jiraiya's body, and his body instantly entered Sage Mode. Two small toads appeared on his shoulders!

Fukasaku Sennin and Shima Sennin of Mount Myoki!

Since Jiraiya couldn't enter Sage Mode on his own, he had to ask two sages for help, who could also extend the time he could maintain Sage Mode!

"Little Jiraiya, you need to train hard..."

When Shima appeared, she couldn't help but complain to Jiraiya: "You can't always rely on us. What if we're not here one day...?"

"Alright, that's enough."

The moment Fukasaku appeared, his gaze fell upon the enormous second-generation Manda before him, and he was immediately startled: "Is this Manda? No, Manda isn't this big. Has a species like the Giant Toad appeared in Ryuchi Cave?"

"Is the enemy Orochimaru?"

Shima saw Orochimaru.

"No, Orochimaru is our ally."

Jiraiya shook his head and softly spoke up for his old friend: "If it weren't for Orochimaru, I might be dead here today..."

"Don't forget what we said..."

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya's Sage Mode, frowned, and coldly warned, "If I can't escape, you must cover my departure even if you die here."

"Okay, okay..."

Jiraiya's Sage Mode instilled confidence in him.

With his old ally Orochimaru by his side, and the two sages Fukasaku and Shima also being formidable fighters, Jiraiya surprisingly didn't think they would lose.

Orochimaru…

Jiraiya smiled, lifted his foot and took off his wooden clogs. His toes seemed to transform into those of a toad, and his grip on the ground was incredibly strong. "Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if the two of us lost to a junior?"

"us…"

"But they're the Legendary Sannin of Konoha!"

Just adding yesterday's update; I've been sleeping these past two nights...
