"It's here!!"
Sasuke stared intently at the cloud of smoke before him.
Before long.
"SSSAAAHH!!!"
A huge brown python covered in tattoos twisted out of the smoke.
With its gaping maw, large enough to swallow everything whole, it lunged at the three of them.

Naruto shouted, crossing his fingers before his chest. In an instant.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
"Yosha!!"
Countless Naruto clones charged headlong at the giant snake with loud shouts.

"I don't know either..."
Faced with her question, Sasuke did not know what to do next. The psychological pressure the creature placed on
