Faced with Wan She's hesitation, greed, and potential betrayal threats, as well as Orochimaru's soft and hard words that hit home, Jiraiya, who was standing aside, opened his mouth.
"Um...Orochimaru, we absolutely cannot agree to Wan..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted rudely by Orochimaru:
"Shut up, Jiraiya."
Orochimaru didn't even look at Jiraiya. Golden Snake Eyes still locked onto Wan She. The chill and determination in his tone made Jiraiya swallow the rest of his words.
Orochimaru understands the nature of Wan She very well.
It is greedy, cunning, cruel, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and believes in the jungle of the jungle Law.
When facing a snake, the more gentle, compromising, and reasonable you are, the more it will treat you as a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will, pushing you further and demanding more.
On the contrary, the tougher you are and the more ruthless, cruel, and reckless you are, the more it will be afraid, shrink, or even surrender.
Orochimaru has been dealing with Wanshe for many years and knows this well.
When Wan She wants to eat someone on the battlefield, she can eat the opponent's Ninja, but Orochimaru can turn a blind eye.
In the heyday of Orochimaru, Wan She didn't dare to make such a request. Since Orochimaru used Living Corpse Reincarnation, his strength has become weaker and weaker, so Wan She dared to make such a request.
Orochimaru Before, I was afraid that the snakes would bite me back, so I used people who needed to be cleaned up, failed experiments, bandits or ordinary people to fill their appetites.
But the current Orochimaru is not afraid of Wan She's backlash.
At this moment, although Wan She was shocked by Orochimaru's words and fell into a struggle, he did not immediately express his surrender or compromise.
It is weighing and waiting, which in itself is a danger signal.
It shows that it still has different intentions and is still looking for the possibility of maximizing profits, and may even be waiting for Orochimaru or Konoha to reveal more flaws or offer a higher price.
Orochimaru, I won't give it this chance.
Seeing that Wan She did not immediately give a positive answer, the last trace of mercy in Orochimaru's eyes was completely extinguished, replaced by a ruthless decision.
She reached out suddenly and grabbed Jiraiya's wrist beside her.
The movement was as fast as lightning, Jiraiya didn't even react.
"Hey! What are you doing..."
Jiraiya exclaimed.
Tsunade was also stunned, and then he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Orochimaru didn't explain. He grabbed Jiraiya's wrist and pulled Jiraiya together. He jumped up high and backwards, instantly distanced himself from the snakes on the ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
The moment the two of them jumped to the highest point in the air, Orochimaru bit his thumb and blood gushed out.
But the hand she grabbed Jiraiya's wrist forcibly pulled Jiraiya's fingers, and with the help of Jiraiya's hand, she formed the Summoning Technique seal.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar, full of violence and greed, came from mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying mouth that could swallow a mountain, covered with Purple Eyes scales and ferocious fangs, suddenly popped out of the crack.
With lightning speed, like a giant python preying on frogs, it swallowed the hundred-meter-long snake below, head and tail, whole in one bite.
"Gudong!"
A creepy swallowing sound sounded.
Wan She didn't even have time to neigh or resist, before the huge body disappeared into the Purple Eyes huge mouth.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and a Purple Eyes figure that was larger, more ferocious, and exuding more violent and unstable Chakra fluctuations than the previous Wanshe, completely arrived.
It is entrenched there, like a Purple Eyes snake mountain.
Its appearance is very similar to the Ten Thousand Snakes that were swallowed just now. It is also in the form of a giant snake, covered with Purple Eyes scales.
But the difference is also very obvious. This newly appeared giant snake has a Rhinoceros horn-shaped, curved and sharp Purple Eyes horn on its forehead, shining with cold light.
On both sides of its neck, there are two thick, scale-covered forelimbs with sharp claws at the end. Although they are slightly short compared to its huge body, they are full of strength.
Its eyes are more wild and violent than those of ten thousand snakes.
This is exactly what Orochimaru and her right-hand assistant Kabuto Yakushi have secretly used the genes and cell samples of Wanshe for many years, combined with the characteristics of other powerful creatures, and created it through biotechnology and Forbidden Jutsu and Senjutsu - Second Manda!
Second Manda lowered his head, as if he could still feel the Chakra and flesh and blood breath that belonged to his predecessor Wan She in its mouth. It let out a dull and intimidating growl, and the voice echoed on the battlefield:
"It's no use trying to save you!"
Second Manda's tone was full of contempt and disdain for his predecessor, "Then from today on, I am the only one who has Wan She!"
It announced its replacement of the name and status of Wan She.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya have now landed on the top of Second Manda's head, which is as wide as a square.
Orochimaru let go of Jiraiya and glanced down below indifferently, as if what he just swallowed was not a psychic beast that had been following him for many years, but just a failed experiment or an obstacle.
"As a comrade for many years, I gave it a chance."
Orochimaru said calmly, without any regret in his tone, "It's a pity that it didn't catch it."
The implication is that since Wan She cannot show absolute loyalty and value at critical moments, and even wants to take advantage of the situation, being replaced by the more powerful and obedient "Second Manda" is its inevitable outcome.
Everyone was silent. The big snake that could swallow such a giant thing made Gamabunta and Great Toad Sage feel numb, not to mention the dead shadows and ordinary Ninja.
And just then.
"Hey, Orochimaru, you bastard!"
An angry female roar came from below.
I saw Tsunade jumping up from the ground like a cannonball and landing steadily on top of Second Manda, standing side by side with Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
She put her hands on her hips and glared at Orochimaru, her plump breasts heaving violently with anger:
"Why didn't you inform me in advance? If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have almost been swallowed up by you, the ghost who channeled me!"
It turns out that the huge mouth of Second Manda appeared too suddenly just now, and the swallowing range was extremely large. The location of Tsunade was also affected by the edge.
She relied entirely on her critical reflexes and the explosive speed brought by her strange strength to narrowly avoid the bloody mouth.
Orochimaru faced Tsunade's anger, but just chuckled, and a hint of expected light flashed through Golden Snake Eyes:
"Shout it out so that guy Wan She can hear it and be wary?"
She asked back, her tone matter-of-fact.
"As an old friend for many years, I believe in your reaction speed and strength Tsunade."
"Look, isn't this okay?"
Orochimaru spread his hands, as if "everything is under control".
Tsunade was choked for a moment and was speechless. He glared at Orochimaru fiercely, but he also understood that the situation was urgent and there was no room for discussion in advance.
But this feeling of being kept in the dark and almost being accidentally injured by her teammates really made her angry.
Orochimaru no longer paid attention to the angry Tsunade, but wiped the hand that grabbed Jiraiya's wrist on Jiraiya's clothes.
Then, she glanced at Jiraiya's worn-looking Red Eyes coat and lining with disgust, and clicked her tongue:
"The feel of this outfit is really bad..."
She added meaningfully, her eyes sweeping over Tsunade:
"In the future, if I have the money, I can use it to fill a certain gambler's bottomless pit that will never be filled..."
Why don't you allocate funds for my experiments?"
"You can just say my name instead of being so weird!
And what kind of shady human experiments are you talking about?"
Tsunade immediately exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"It's better than throwing money into Casino and not even hearing a sound."
Orochimaru tit for tat.
"You!"
"Okay, okay, you two. The enemy is at hand, the enemy is at hand!"
Jiraiya quickly smoothed things over with a wry smile and stood between the two of them, fearing that the two old teammates would fight first at this critical moment.
