"Truly a terrifying fellow..."
Orochimaru looked at Manda's corpse in the deep pit, its head completely flattened and all life gone.
His eyes showed deep wariness.
He knew Guy was strong, far stronger than Manda.
But killing Manda so cleanly and decisively in a single blow was simply too terrifying.
Guren, Gozu, and Nurari hurried over.
Their faces went pale when they saw Manda's flattened head.
"Th... that's terrifying..."
Guren muttered, her voice trembling.
At that moment, she clearly realized that Guy's fight with her earlier had been nothing more than children playing house.

"Not bad, not bad."
Guy was extremely satisfied.

It filled up Guy's golden dragon tattoo once more, making it noticeably fuller.
The golden-filled portion around his torso had visibly expanded.
Guy pushed off the ground and lightly landed before Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru-sama, we can continue."
Guy wore a smile.
He looked amiable enough,
