Susanoo vs. Three Summoned Beasts
"Gamabunta. We called you out this time because we have a powerful enemy to deal with," Jiraiya said to Gamabunta.
"Manda, help me defeat the enemy over there," Orochimaru added.
"Let me see what formidable enemy you are."
"Orochimaru, you've really grown bold, daring to order me around? Do you want to die?" Manda cursed Orochimaru, then looked up ahead.
The two mischievous spirit beasts stopped arguing and looked ahead at the same time. The moment they saw the enemy, their eyes widened simultaneously.
"Jiraiya, this is the formidable enemy you spoke of! Are you kidding me?"
Orochimaru, are you trying to kill me off sooner?!
Upon seeing the 100-meter giant, the two creatures simultaneously greeted their contracted masters.
"Lady Tsunade, how could the enemy be Tianqi?" The Katsuyu was shocked to see that the enemy was Uchiha Tianqi, whom it had met before. It looked at Tsunade with a puzzled expression.
"Katsuyu is a complicated story, but we absolutely must stop him and bring him back to Konoha. Can you handle that?"
"Lady Tsunade, unless you can summon two-thirds of my true form, you'll have no chance against me. Otherwise, we're no match at all," she said, looking at the Katsuyu Susanoo after a moment's thought.
"Is that so? It's alright, we have the help of the other two great holy lands, so it should be about right." With that, Tsunade jumped onto the Katsuyu's head. "Orochimaru, Jiraiya, get ready, we're going in!"
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, the two stopped arguing with their summoned beasts and jumped onto their respective beasts' heads.
"Gamabunta, this time it all depends on you. I have to win, or the Shinobi World will be in chaos."
"Manda helps me win, I'll definitely get my share of the rewards."
Both of them gave in and began to encourage the summoned beast.
"Jiraiya, you owe me a huge favor this time." Seeing that Jiraiya was serious, Gamabunta stopped joking and drew his forty-meter-long sword.
"Orochimaru, you have to give me a hundred sacrifices after this." Manda shrank its body, ready to launch itself at any moment. It didn't want to lose to that stinky Toad right at the start.
Seeing the three preparing to attack, Tianqi smiled like an old father, "Three spiky summons, how interesting, really interesting," and then Susanoo conjured two swords in his hands.
"Let's see who's better, you guys or me! Come on!!!"
"Gamabunta, let's go!" Jiraiya roared. Gamabunta, sword in one hand, bent his body slightly and pushed off with both feet, flying directly towards Tianqi.
"Manda!" Orochimaru's voice rang out, and Manda's shrunken body straightened instantly. It launched itself forward with a speed that was in no way inferior to Gamabunta's.
"Katsuyu, let's go too!" Seeing her teammates rush out, Tsunade didn't want to fall behind, but unfortunately, the Katsuyu was just too slow.
However, Katsuyu don't rely on speed for attack. The Katsuyu moved slowly, its cheeks puffed out, ready to spew out sticky acid to dissolve its enemies.
"Good timing!" Tianqi controlled Susanoo and slashed at Gamabunta with his sword.
"Clang!"
Gamabunta also slashed at Tianqi with his forty-meter-long sword. With a clang, the two giant swords collided, and Gamabunta was forced to stop by the impact.
However, it was clear that its power was not Susanoo's, and it could only struggle to resist.
Manda approached Susanoo from the ground and wrapped his tail around one of Manda 'Susanoo feet. "Get down here!" he shouted, pulling hard, causing Susanoo to lose his balance and begin to retreat.
"Damn, I almost forgot about this little snake. I didn't expect it to be so strong." Tianqi stumbled back five steps, and bang! Susanoo landed directly on the ground.
Seeing Tianqi fall to the ground, Tsunade seized the opportunity and shouted, "Katsuyu!"
The Katsuyu sprayed a large amount of sticky acid directly at Tianqi, instantly covering Susanoo completely.
"Did it work?" Jiraiya asked the two, looking at Tianqi who was covered in acid.
Orochimaru and Tsunade, indicating that they didn't know either.
As Tianqi watched Susanoo slowly being corroded and dissolved, he burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, Jiraiya, Jiraiya Tsunade Orochimaru, this is right! Only in this way are you worthy to fight me!"
Upon hearing Tianqi's laughter, the three of them immediately looked warily at the sticky acid on the ground.
"Holy crap!!!" Tianqi clenched his fist, and his five-pointed Mangekyō Sharingan began to spin rapidly.
Susanoo unleashed a powerful burst of energy, directly dispersing the viscous acid and successfully repairing its dissolved body. Susanoo rose and roared in fury.
"Roar!!" A huge gust of wind arose around him, and Susanoo grew two more hands, while another face appeared on his back. The second complete form of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was formed.
"Let me give you a taste of my own medicine! Take this!" Tianqi wielded Susanoo's crossed twin swords, slashing them towards Jiraiya and Orochimaru, a surge of energy from the crossed swords rushing directly towards the two.
"You can't fight him head-on! Jiraiya out of here!"
Without Orochimaru even needing to remind them, the two summoned beasts jumped away, one on the left and one on the right.
The blade energy missed the two people and instead slashed towards the distant mountain.
"Bang!"
The blade energy struck the mountain, causing an instant explosion that flattened the entire mountain peak.
"What a terrifying attack!" Both the human and the beast stared wide-eyed as they watched the mountain disappear.
Tianqi also charged forward and grabbed the slowest Katsuyu with both hands. "Let me see if you can regenerate after being torn in half," Susanoo said, raising the Katsuyu and preparing to tear it in two.
Tsunade jumped away from the Katsuyu, Katsuyu instantly transformed into countless smaller Katsuyu, escaping Tianqi's pull.
"Oh, so this is splitting?" Tianqi looked at the few small Katsuyu in his hand with a curious expression.
Countless tiny Katsuyu crawled away and reassembled, forming a giant Katsuyu once more, Tsunade then jumped onto its head again.
"Tsunade, what should we do? Tianqi. At this rate, we're no match for him," Jiraiya he approached Tsunade.
Tsunade stared at Tianqi in the distance, saying nothing.
"There's no other way but to hold on a little longer. The main force should be arriving soon." Orochimaru looked at Tsunade. He knew that Tsunade would not retreat no matter what, so he had no choice but to fight her head-on.
The three attacked Tianqi again using the same tactic.
This time, the situation was different from the first time. Tianqi repelled Gamabunta with a single strike, and then controlled Susanoo to stomp on Manda, who was trying to launch a sneak attack.
"Ah!" Manda screamed in agony as she was stepped on.
"Trying to ambush us? Not so easy!" Tianqi grabbed Manda by the tail, lifted him up, swung him around twice, and instantly flung him toward the Katsuyu Manda was about to spray sticky acid.
"Bang!" The Manda and the Katsuyu collided and were both sent flying.
The same attack yielded different results; the first time they struck Tianqi, the second time they were the ones who were knocked down.
"Jiraiya, stop just watching from the sidelines! You should start Hand Seals and attacking! How can I handle this?" Gamabunta complained.
"Sorry, sorry, Gamabunta, let's do it again. This time I'll assist you," Jiraiya apologized and began to mobilize his Chakra.
"You Orochimaru, do you want me to die sooner so you don't have to hand over the sacrifice? Stop idly forming Hand Seals and attacking, you damned blue giant!" Manda stood up and cursed Orochimaru, then looked at Tianqi in the distance, not forgetting to greet him as well.
"Lady Tsunade, are you alright?" Katsuyu looked at Tsunade with concern.
"I'm fine, Katsuyu, are you alright?" Tsunade looked at Katsuyu with equal concern.
"Lady Tsunade, I'm alright," the Katsuyu said, not forgetting to send out smaller Katsuyu to help Tsunade recover her Chakra.
This is what a summoning beast should be like! It's nothing like Gamabunta and Manda, who only know how to complain. What a contracted master and servant should need is mutual encouragement and care.
