There were so many that the sight made one's scalp crawl. They had already piled into a mountain behind Orochimaru, creating an oppressive sense of awe and terror.
"Perfect Sage Mode."
"It brings the human body's potential to its absolute limit!"
"In this state, Sage Mode can enhance any ninjutsu, transforming it into a Sage Technique!"
"It also strengthens the body's constitution, perception, and mind, granting superhuman awareness of everything around you!"
"And the Mount Myoboku Sage Mode you learned!"
"Looks rather laughable before me!"
Orochimaru spoke calmly.
Ever since he had encountered this Sage Mode scroll, he had recognized its intricacy and value. It could easily be called humanity's greatest secret scripture.
One could even say that it had established a school entirely different from the Ninja Sect.
Orochimaru called this school the Sage Sect.
Shocked, Jiraiya could not help shouting, "Where did you learn this, Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru remained silent at the question, offering no answer.
"Sage Art: Five Right Guards Gate!"
Seeing that he would not speak, Jiraiya attacked again.

"Sage Art: Ten Thousand Snake Sword Shadows Technique!"
In an instant, the countless snake shadows piled into a mountain transformed into razor-sharp sword shadows, ringing with the song of blades.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Ten thousand swords fired at once, hurtling toward Jiraiya.
His pupils contracted, and Sage Fukasaku's and Sage Shima's expressions changed drastically. "Dodge!"
"He actually created a Sage Technique like this!"
Cries of alarm rang out as the countless sword shadows engulfed Jiraiya.
Orochimaru turned and strode straight into the Forest of Konoha, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Little Jiraiya, are you still alive?"
Alarmed cries reached his ears through a haze.
