Elsewhere, after Chiyo led numerous Jonin and elite Jonin out of the camp, Orochimaru and Jiraiya led several elite squads quietly into Sunagakure's camp.
With so many of its Jonin and elite Jonin away, Sunagakure's camp was poorly defended. Orochimaru and Jiraiya split up. Jiraiya found the supply depot, planted explosive tags, and waited for word from Orochimaru.
Orochimaru slipped near the Temporary Hospital, silently disposed of several patrolling Sand Ninja, then rapidly formed hand seals toward the hospital. "Summoning Technique: Many Snakes Formation!"
Dense swarms of snakes immediately slithered toward the medical ninja in the Temporary Hospital.
Many of the Sand Medical Ninja were poisoned to death by Orochimaru's venomous snakes while still asleep.
"Enemy attack!"
Suddenly, a ninja spotted venomous snakes covering the ground and screamed in terror!
The piercing cry shattered the quiet night, and Sunagakure's ninja swiftly assembled.
"Summoning Technique: Manda!"
Poof!
A cloud of white smoke appeared, and an enormous snake materialized.
"Orochimaru, I want a hundred sacrifices this time."
After appearing, Manda looked at Orochimaru and spoke coldly.
"Heh, eat as many as you like, if you're capable enough."
Orochimaru gave a sinister smile and leaped onto Manda's head with the other ninja.
At his words, Manda thrashed wildly and slithered toward the Sand Ninja gathering ahead.
Once he reached the Sand Ninja, he opened his gaping maw and began biting!
The Sand Ninja's ninjutsu struck Manda like little more than scratches, failing even to penetrate his scales.
Seeing Orochimaru summon Manda, Jiraiya immediately ignited the explosive tags, then summoned Gamabunta. He and his squad members stood on Gamabunta's back, bombarding the Sand Ninja with ninjutsu as they fought their way out.
Before long, after cutting through the enemy for a while, the two groups reunited and fought toward the edge of the camp.
