Three enormous summoned beasts appeared beneath the battlefield at once. Whatever else could be said, their oppressive presence was immense.
"Orochimaru, this time you'll have to sacrifice a hundred people to make up for the number of times you've summoned me."
Manda was the first to make a demand of his contractor.
