As everyone knew, Orochimaru's soul had always been flawed because of the forbidden Art of the Undying Reincarnation.
The Ten-Complete Sword could both slash souls and seal them, completely countering the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique. That was why so many people thought the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique was weak.
Watching the enormous creature suddenly appear on the lake's surface, continuously regenerate under Four-Tails Naruto's bombardment, and even spew ninjutsu of multiple elements to blast Naruto away again and again, Seiya's face showed interest.
"So this is the so-called Eight-Headed Serpent Technique? No matter what, someone once known as one of the Konoha Sannin truly isn't someone to be underestimated."
Judging by the strength Orochimaru's Eight-Headed Serpent Technique had displayed, Seiya felt it was likely comparable to Jiraiya's less-than-perfect Sage Mode.
Of course, Jiraiya's Sage Mode here referred to his alone, without counting the two sages, Shima and Fukasaku.
"Looks like those two can keep fighting until Naruto erupts into Six-Tails. In that case, I'll go greet the other two uninvited guests first."
Above the lake that sealed the Three-Tails, a strangely shaped white bird flapped its wings high in the sky.
Two ninjas wearing black robes patterned with red clouds stood on the white bird's back.
One had long dark-gold hair tied into an upward ponytail that covered one of his left eyes.
The other had short black hair and wore an orange spiral mask over his face.
"Senior Deidara, it's really lively down there. I didn't expect not only Konoha and Hidden Mist Village ninjas to show up, but even Orochimaru to get involved.
Should we ask the organization for reinforcements? There are so many of them, and even the Mizukage is here. If just the two of us go down to seize the Three-Tails, won't we get beaten to death?"
