Chapter 385: Greet My Friend
The battlefield erupted into chaos once more as Jasper and Orochimaru clashed. Only this time, the former had a better edge and was pushing the latter back.
His strikes were sharp and fueled by the immense power of the Eight Gates. For once, Orochimaru’s face was concerned about how he would get out of this mess.
Why would someone like him, who wasn’t at his full power, want to fight a bunch of Leaf shinobi that he barely knew? Had he had his arms unsealed, perhaps he might have wanted to actually stay.
Then there was Jasper’s combination of unpredictable techniques; they were layered with Gelel energy that Orochimaru hadn’t accounted for.
"You’re all talk," Jasper taunted after landing a fierce kick to his opponent’s belly. "A snake like you’s just a baby compared to me."
"I’ll make you pay!" Orochimaru replied. With a darkened expression, he bit his thumb and slammed his palm against the surface. "Summoning jutsu!"
A massive cloud of smoke billowed out, and from it emerged Manda.
This was the player’s first time seeing the giant, menacing serpent, whose appearance included purple scales with black rings, large fangs, green eyes, and horn-like protrusions on his head.
He was known for his size and strength, having also participated in the Second Shinobi World War while being dubbed the largest snake in this world that towered over other summons. He also believed himself superior to others and served Orochimaru mainly because he couldn’t defeat him.
"You dare summon me, Orochimaru?!" Manda claimed.
Some had forgotten that Manda was proud and often complained about his conditions, demanding sacrifices in exchange for his help due to his aggressive personality.
