Manda was very fast. With his speed and huge size, he didn't fear even facing slugs and Gamabunta, who were also extraordinary.
In fact, he could fight the two summoned beasts evenly by himself, showing just how strong he was like Madara.
But in front of Neji, especially Neji using the Eight Branches Technique, all of his advantages disappeared.
Seeing Manda open his big mouth and rush towards him quickly, Neji slapped him with one tail. At the same time, the remaining seven tails also moved.
The eight tails were like steel whips. When they whipped, the air crackled, and sounds of air being torn apart echoed, like a roaring hurricane, striking Manda hard.
Whack, whack, whack...
Manda's huge body was struck several times almost in the blink of an eye. Each whip left a deep red welt on Manda's body.
"You are too weak." Neji looked at Manda with disdain. Then, one of the snake heads suddenly shot out, biting Manda's body, and Manda let out a miserable cry.
"Trash!"
Yamata no Orochi tossed Manda away with a fancy flick of its head.
"Today, I'll have some snake soup, a taste of something fresh."
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
At this moment, Neji suddenly made a hand sign. At the same time, one of Yamata no Orochi's heads leaned forward, spitting out a pillar of fire like a sea of flames.
It was hard to imagine, a large creature spewing flames, a sea of fire filling the sky, instantly lighting up the entire sky. Everyone looked up, and the whole sky was crimson red.
The pillar of fire, carrying waves of heat, instantly engulfed Manda. With a bang, an explosion rang out, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose.
At the same time, a large area of greenery on the plain was turned into nothing, and the fire quickly swept around, unstoppable, swallowing the plain.
"Byakugan!"
Neji opened his eyes and looked, and saw a huge snake-shaped object slowly dissolving in the flames, turning into liquid, falling off in pieces.
"Heh, shed skin, huh."
Neji was calm and unconcerned when he saw this scene. This was also a common trick of Manda.
Immediately after, the ground suddenly shook. The ground under Yamata no Orochi's feet suddenly broke open, and clods of earth popped up. Then, a long, dark purple object suddenly shot out. At the same time, one of Yamata no Orochi's heads bit it.
"A tail? Same fighting style too."
Then, except for the snake head where Neji was, the other six snake heads collectively pounced backwards. Manda's head had just emerged from the ground when it was attacked by the six snake heads.
"What?!"
Manda's eyes widened. The result was obvious. Manda was repeatedly injured, with blood all over his body. Finally, he was slammed to the ground by Yamata no Orochi's tail, stuffing his mouth with dirt.
Manda shook his body, spat out all the mud in his mouth, and then charged towards Neji again in uncontrollable anger.
"What's wrong with this Manda?" Neji frowned. Manda's personality was indeed violent, but he didn't seem like someone who would fight to the death with him for Orochimaru.
Neji didn't know that what made Manda so crazy was Neji himself. The extremely contemptuous smile that Neji kept on his face was something Manda really didn't like.
This contemptuous, undisguised smile was more serious than any harsh words in Manda's eyes.
Manda was arrogant and unruly. How could he tolerate Neji?! Neji's contempt constantly stimulated his nerves, making him want to kill Neji at all costs.
"You reptile, you damn reptile, die, die!" Manda roared angrily, his body constantly swinging, almost completely losing his mind.
"Manda, don't be impulsive!" Orochimaru shouted.
The Eight Branches Technique was a Ninjutsu created by him, a Ninjutsu powerful enough to rival a tailed beast, something Manda couldn't compare to.
But Manda ignored Orochimaru's advice and even glared at Orochimaru, as if he would attack Orochimaru first if Orochimaru said another word.
Orochimaru was quite angry. If he didn't still want to learn Senjutsu from the White Snake Sage, he would have killed Manda already. Orochimaru frowned as he watched Manda attacking Neji again and again, but to no avail.
"Kabuto, let's go," Orochimaru said in a low voice.
"Then, Orochimaru-sama, your summoned beast..." Kabuto said, pointing at Manda.
"Don't worry about him," Orochimaru said coldly. He and Manda were only in a relationship of mutual exploitation. He had been fed up with him for a long time.
"Yes."
"Wait! Don't even think about running!"
At this moment, Tsunade suddenly blocked Orochimaru's path. "I am the Fifth Hokage. The Sannin's reign ends today."
"Hehe, Tsunade, it seems you're determined," Orochimaru said, a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead. His current situation was not optimistic at all.
"But I won't sit still and wait for death either!" Orochimaru's neck stretched out like silk thread, and he spat out a long sword from his mouth.
Splat!
The long sword pierced into flesh, blood splattering. Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, who grabbed the sword with her hand, and his eyes widened.
"Tsunade, you..."
"I am the Fifth Hokage, and I must eliminate everyone who is harmful to the village." Tsunade didn't collapse because of the blood. Instead, she raised her beautiful face and said firmly.
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
Bang!
Tsunade raised her leg and kicked Orochimaru in the stomach. Hit hard, Orochimaru was sent flying backwards, crashing through rocks.
Whoosh!
Tsunade followed closely, her eyes even more murderous. She reached out again and grabbed Orochimaru's long tongue, slamming it into Orochimaru's face again.
"Can't stop, can't give him a chance to breathe."
Bang, bang, bang...
Tsunade used her hands and feet, constantly hitting Orochimaru, leaving Orochimaru with no room to fight back.
"Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto shouted anxiously. "This is bad, he's being hit completely by that monster strength!"
At this moment, Orochimaru was sent flying by Tsunade's punch, but Orochimaru's perception was extremely strong. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he suddenly flipped over and sped away into the distance.
"Don't even think about leaving!" Tsunade's eyes narrowed, and she chased after Orochimaru.
At the same time, Manda was also beaten to the ground by Neji.
"Huff, huff." Manda raised his head from the ground, breathing heavily. After so many attacks, he also felt very tired.
Seeing Manda panting, young Neji taunted: "Is that all? I thought you could let me have some fun! You are too weak."
"I am the leader of the snake clan of Ryuuchi Cave! How could I be defeated by your second-rate transformation technique?! Damn human, die!" Looking at Neji looking down at him, Manda roared and charged forward again.
