Boiling Venom...

"We meet again, Hanfeng-kun."

Orochimaru stood before the Jinchuriki, staring at Hanfeng with a fake smile and a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Although Hanfeng had snatched his prize initially, Orochimaru had managed to turn the tables at the last moment with his own intelligence!

But now was not the time to relax.

Orochimaru stood loosely, but the muscles beneath his robes were tensed to the extreme.

"As expected of Orochimaru, I was careless."

Hanfeng calmly looked at Orochimaru, then looked up and asked, "Garaga, are you alright?"

After his Reverse Scale was removed, Garaga's irritable temper gradually became gentler, but right now, he was quite uncomfortable being pressed by two semicircular giant rocks.

"Hanfeng, you can stop your jutsu now," Garaga said in a muffled voice.

"Understood." Hanfeng immediately formed hand seals and stopped the Earth Style: Mountain Earth Technique.

As the two giant rocks stopped closing, Garaga quickly rubbed against the rock walls and slithered out of the stone.

Hanfeng leaped lightly onto Garaga's head, looking down at Orochimaru, and asked, "Garaga's Reverse Scale, you were the one who made it, weren't you, Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru smiled, "That's right. As long as I want to, I can make as many of those as I want."

Hanfeng's face darkened. If he summoned Garaga for help in a moment of crisis in the future, and it turned out to be Garaga with a Reverse Scale, wouldn't that make things worse?

Orochimaru was clearly threatening him!

"It was Manda!"

Garaga slowly coiled his body into a serpentine formation and said, "It fed me some kind of liquid, which made my Reverse Scale grow back."

"We'll talk about these things later."

Hanfeng stared at the Jinchuriki beneath Orochimaru's feet and said, "I'll hold off Orochimaru, you capture that human."

"Understood." Garaga nodded
