Just two days ago, Masa had been absolutely certain that the one who could summon Manda had to be Orochimaru.
Masa, who had arrived with reinforcements, watched as Xin performed the summoning technique and brought forth Manda. His face twisted in an expression that resembled severe constipation, his forehead beaded with a mix of sweat and rain.
He dreaded the thought of what would happen when this news reached Chiyo. What would she do to him after learning that he had brought back false information?
How could this possibly be Orochimaru?
This is clearly Uzagi Xin, the man whom Lord Kazekage despises the most!!
I'm finished, absolutely finished.
Once I return, Lady Chiyo is going to kill me.
"Masa-dono, snap out of it! Manda is coming!!"
A shinobi next to him called out, shaking Masa from his thoughts.
Finished?
No, the real trouble is just beginning!
They had brought hundreds of shinobi to attack Konoha's positions, aiming to create enough chaos to distract Orochimaru. But now, one of the three jōnin had been killed by Xin, and Masa was one of the remaining two.
Sure, they had numbers, but when it came to facing Manda, that wouldn't be enough. The best way to deal with a massive summoned beast like Manda was through sealing techniques. But the problem was that their squad didn't include any sealing specialists.
Sealing ninjas were treasured in every village; there was no way they would be sent on a mere diversion or harassment mission.
This left the Sand Village's forces in an awkward position.
They had numbers, but most of them were chunin. Without a sealing expert and only two remaining jōnin, Manda had free rein to rampage, tearing through their ranks and swallowing enemies whole.
The jutsu they threw at Manda were little more than tickles.
Honestly, unless you had a sealing ninja or an elite jōnin on hand, facing off against a summoned beast like Manda was a futile endeavor.
"Roar!! Get into your lord Manda's belly, worms!"
Manda charged through the battlefield like a high-speed train. Despite its massive size, it moved with incredible agility, weaving through the chaos with ease. While its attacks were simple, they were more than sufficient for Manda's needs.
Its tail, fangs, and massive jaws were all it required to obliterate the enemy.
"Are we still going in?"
The battlefield was in total disarray, the Sand shinobi utterly helpless against Manda. Even though Masa and the other jōnin were doing their best to hold the line, they couldn't stop Manda from indulging in its feast.
"Comrades, the enemy is panicking, overwhelmed by Manda's assault. As their adversaries, what should we do?"
Seeing the hesitation in their ranks, Xin raised his voice with a commanding shout.
"Finish them!!"
Already swayed by Xin's influence, Minato reflexively shouted back, "Finish them!!"
