Masa didn't believe the Leaf ninja was there to just throw his life away.
Seeing Xin forming hand seals, Masa didn't dare to approach carelessly, so he watched as Xin slowly completed his seals.
He even slowed down for you. Aren't you going to rush up and attack me?
How boring.
Shaking his head, Xin pressed his palm against the muddy ground.
Boom!!
A burst of white smoke spread out, covering the roadside. In the dark night, a massive figure emerged.
"Master."
Already frightened by Ophis, Manda no longer dared to bare its fangs at Xin. As soon as it was summoned, it obediently bowed its head and greeted him.
"Not bad," Xin said, satisfied. He then pointed toward Masa and his men, saying to Manda, "I'm not sure if there are more enemies ahead, so I'll leave these guys to you. You can eat them, kill them-do as you please."
he can eat them?
Hearing this, Manda's eyes lit up.
Ever since Manda started working with Xin, life hadn't been great. Orochimaru often summoned it for battle but never provided any sacrifices.
Whenever Manda demanded sacrifices, Orochimaru would mention Xin, and Manda would immediately lose its temper.
After putting up with this for so long, Manda finally had a chance to feast and go on a rampage.
How could Manda not be excited?
"M-Manda!"
Masa stared at the massive snake in horror, his mind going blank.
A look of terror appeared on his face as he shouted, "It's Orochimaru! The elite Leaf jonin, Orochimaru!"
Although Orochimaru had not yet earned the title of one of the "Legendary Sannin," his reputation on the battlefield was already well-established. Many enemies had fallen by his hand.
Even Chiyo and Hanzo dared not underestimate the presence of Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.
Though Orochimaru's intimidation factor wasn't on the same level as Minato in the Third War, it was enough to strike fear into his enemies.
There's a vast difference between jonin level shinobi.
Orochimaru, who was between elite jonin and Kage level, would have little difficulty taking down an average jonin.
Everyone in the shinobi world knew that Manda was Orochimaru's summoning beast.
Seeing Manda, Masa panicked, mistaking Xin for Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru must have abandoned the front lines to personally escort the supply convoy. This must mean Leaf is running out of supplies."
"We need to get this information back."
Masa's mind raced. He realized that he shouldn't stay and fight Orochimaru.
Not only did they lack the strength, but destroying a supply convoy was far less important than delivering urgent intelligence.
Moreover...
Roar!!
Seeing Manda open its huge mouth and drool as it looked at them, Masa felt a chill run down his spine.
