บท 45: Chapter 45: Slaying Manda
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As the smoke exploded, engulfing the surroundings, the ground shook violently, and a dangerous aura filled the air.
A massive snake-like summon creature with purple markings appeared, its head adorned with three prominent horns resembling a dragon's.
It loomed before Ryujiro like a small mountain peak.
Orochimaru's summon, Manda!
However, Orochimaru's summon had a specific condition: after each summoning, Manda required 100 living sacrifices.
These sacrifices could be anyone—children, adults, or the elderly—and ultimately, they were all consumed by Manda, making it the epitome of an evil summon.
"Tsk tsk, Orochimaru, you're shameless. Summoning me to deal with a mere child," Manda remarked.
"Hmm? Your hand..."
"No wonder... your power is restricted."
"It seems you've done something significant before."
Manda was not pleased with Orochimaru's interference, but they were old acquaintances. Orochimaru's aura had weakened significantly since their last encounter.
"Manda, Ryujiro is not as simple as you think. One wrong move and even you might fall by his blade," Orochimaru warned solemnly.
Oh?
But just a little brat was making Orochimaru cautious? This wasn't quite the Orochimaru he knew. Was it because of his weakened state?
"Orochimaru, don't compare me to you. I am Manda! The strongest snake of the Ryuchi Cave!" Manda declared.
Manda simply couldn't believe that a mere ant could kill him.
Its massive body pressed down on the surroundings, crushing trees under its colossal form. The terrifying aura it emitted sent nearby creatures fleeing.
"You have no chance to shine here, Manda."
"You'd better obediently return to the Ryuchi Cave with your tail between your legs."
Ryujiro's gaze remained ice-cold as he faced the massive Manda. Despite its size, Ryujiro remained unfazed.
"Kid! What did you say?!"
Manda erupted in anger, its aura resembling an erupting volcano, ready to burst at any moment.
"This stage isn't yours, Manda."
"You brat! Even if Orochimaru pleads for you, I'll still kill you!"
With Manda' anger reaching its peak, its tremendous power surged like a tidal wave.
The ground collapsed under its immense force, and friction in the air created a shockwave akin to thunder rolling.
Its colossal tail swept towards Ryujiro, devastating the land. Manda' power could easily demolish a small mountain.
"Hmph, an arrogant kid."
"Prepare to be crushed!"
Unperturbed, Ryujiro calmly assumed a stance with his sword drawn. The chilling glint in his eyes caused the surrounding temperature to plummet.
"No matter how great your power, you're still just a beast."
"The strongest serpent of Ryuchi Cave? In my eyes, you're nothing but a worm."
Shoo!
With speed surpassing the limits of the world, Ryujiro's strike created shockwaves that extended several meters behind him.
It wasn't mere Body Flicker Jutsu but the eruption of ultimate power.
As Manda' colossal tail swept towards him, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the massive tail danced in the air, raining blood upon the earth.
"Boom!" Like a small mountain, the enormous tail crashed onto the ground, creating ripples.
Manda let out a sharp cry of pain, and Orochimaru, standing atop its head, almost lost balance due to its agonized struggles.
But the next moment, Orochimaru trembled and almost instinctively jumped down from Manda' head.
The fear and sense of impending doom made Orochimaru, who felt the threat of death for the first time, break out in a cold sweat.
Ryujiro's figure turned into afterimages as sword strikes, akin to a storm, showered Manda' body. Each strike accompanied by the sharp sound of air friction.
Shoo!
Calmly, Ryujiro returned to his original position, sheathing his sword.
At this moment, when Jiraiya and Tsunade arrived and saw Manda' colossal tail, their eyes shrank in shock.
Tsunade suddenly knelt on the ground, her face pale as she collapsed.
The sight of blood triggered Tsunade's haemophobia once again. Anyone with haemophobia like Tsunade would become virtually useless in combat upon seeing blood.
Of course, Tsunade's haemophobia stemmed from losing her loved ones, including her partner and brother, in the Third Great Ninja War.
Despite being a medical ninja, she couldn't save them.
"Manda' tail... This boy, Ryujiro, is too ruthless. He actually cut off Manda' tail."
"He's nothing but a beast."
Jiraiya looked at the huge purple tail with palpitations. However, what followed was even more shocking.
"Crack... crack..."
Like the sound of rocks shattering, cracks of various sizes appeared on Manda' stiffened body. When Jiraiya saw blood oozing out, the sight shocked him.
The bloody scene assaulted his vision.
"Bang!"
With a loud explosion, Manda' body burst open, like a firework, and its limbs and flesh danced in the air like a bloody rain, turning into a torrential storm that swept the surrounding area.
The scene gave the impression of being amidst a sea of corpses and blood. The immense amount of blood seemed to wash over the surrounding forests like waves.
Jiraiya's mind went blank, looking at the crimson chunks before him, his brain ceased to function.
Manda...
Did it just die like that?
The thick smell of blood in the air made Jiraiya feel like he was on a battlefield where thousands had perished.
"No! Tsunade!"
Jiraiya anxiously looked at Tsunade.
By now, Tsunade was covered in blood, and the smell of blood overwhelmed her senses. Compared to her earlier fearful expression, she now seemed completely numb.
"Tsunade! Pull yourself together!"
"Hey! Wake up!"
Jiraiya shook Tsunade, and with each shake, the water-like substance on Tsunade's body created ripples.
"Bang!" A punch landed on Jiraiya's face and ear.
Jiraiya was sent flying again, while Tsunade, with a dark face, looked at Jiraiya, who was thrown several meters away.
Looking at her blood-covered hands and the massive blood chunks scattered around, Tsunade seemed strangely unaffected.
Was her haemophobia cured?!

บท 46: Chapter 46: Killing One of the Sannin
Watching the fresh blood before them, even Tsunade's eyes were tainted with the viscous blood of Manda.
Inside the Ryuchi Cave, lying on a stone couch, the White Snake Sage, smoking a pipe, suddenly widened his serpent eyes.
The aura of Manda disappeared?
What happened after Orochimaru's called Manda? What exactly could have happened in such a short time?
Meanwhile, Orochimaru, with a face full of fear, stared at Manda chopped into pieces. From the moment it happened to now, it had been less than a minute.
Manda died at Ryujiro's hands just like that.
The next moment, Ryujiro used Body Flicker Jutsu to appear in front of Orochimaru. At this moment, no one noticed Ryujiro.
Jiraiya was still in the dirt, not yet climbed up, and Tsunade, no longer fearing blood, momentarily didn't pay attention to this side.
Ryujiro leaned forward and moved his mouth.
Instantly, Orochimaru's eyes contracted, and his face changed dramatically as he looked at Ryujiro.
At the same time, the next second, a dazzling and murderous blade flashed in an instant.
The brief burst of killing intent caused the temperature to plummet suddenly, as if immersed in an icy world.
Orochimaru's eyes, full of wildness and coldness, gradually lost focus, and stunning blood blossomed in the air.
Only at this moment did both Jiraiya and Tsunade's gazes shift to Ryujiro.
"Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru fell backward, a terrifying bloodstain appearing on his chest, blood still continuously flowing out. This strike completely severed Orochimaru's vitality.
Jiraiya and Tsunade hurried over. Jiraiya looked at Tsunade crouching on the ground.
Tsunade shook her head as she looked at Jiraiya.
"Orochimaru is really dead."
After saying this, Jiraiya and Tsunade silently looked at Ryujiro.
The methods of this young man in front of them were truly frightening.
Decisive in killing, without any hesitation, Orochimaru, no matter how weakened his strength was, was still one of the Sannin.
At least, even a Jonin would feel fear because of Orochimaru's reputation.
But Ryujiro was unmoved. Compared to Orochimaru, Ryujiro's wildness was far too different.
This kid gave the impression more like a ferocious beast.
But why did both Jiraiya and Tsunade feel Orochimaru's death was too sudden?
Even feeling somewhat eerie.
"Tsunade-sama!"
Shizune and Naruto also rushed over. The commotion here was too great, even Naruto and Shizune couldn't help but want to come over and see what was going on.
"That's... Orochimaru?!"
Shizune's face changed dramatically as she looked at Orochimaru's corpse.
Orochimaru was actually dead.
What happened just now?
"Tsunade-sama."
Shizune pointed at Orochimaru's corpse with trembling fingers.
Tsunade sighed and looked at Ryujiro with a complicated expression. "It was this brat."
What!
Shizune looked shocked at the blood-drenched Ryujiro.
He actually killed Orochimaru?!
Orochimaru was one of the Legendary Sannin, and his strength was almost equal to Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Shizune glanced at the blood around them.
"This is..."
Shizune suddenly widened her eyes, and the fear in her eyes became even more intense.
"Manda! It's the body of Manda?!"
"Yes, the kid killed Manda too."
Tsunade added from behind.
Oh my god!
Haa!
Shizune took a sharp breath, but because of the strong smell of blood in the air, she felt a little uncomfortable, suddenly feeling nauseous.
"Tsunade, your fear of blood?"
Jiraiya looked surprised at Tsunade.
Tsunade put her hands on her hips and sighed, saying, "Yeah, I'm surprised too."
"It seems like my fear of blood is gone."
"What?! Tsunade-sama, your fear is gone?!"
"What's going on?!"
Tsunade shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know either."
Ryujiro squinted his eyes, somewhat surprised, looking at Tsunade.
Has Tsunade's hemophobia actually disappeared?
In the original anime, Tsunade's hemophobia was cured, but it was because of Naruto.
Could it be that the scene just now had such a great psychological impact on Tsunade that she was no longer afraid of blood?
"Brat, you deliberately distracted me and Jiraiya earlier."
"What deep-seated hatred do you have with Orochimaru to want to kill him so badly."
Both Jiraiya and Tsunade focused on Ryujiro.
If Tsunade and Jiraiya had been focusing on Ryujiro from start to finish just now, even if Ryujiro took action, they would have stopped him.
Orochimaru was not only their comrade but also a rogue ninja of the village, and his life or death involved many decisions of the Konoha Village higher ups.
And Orochimaru might also know some things about the Konoha Village that others didn't know.
"It's either he dies or I die. Sooner or later, he would have died by my hands. I just made that day come earlier."
"He sees me as his vessel."
Vessel...
Jiraiya and Tsunade also understood the meaning behind Ryujiro's words.
Orochimaru had long set his sights on Ryujiro?
Perhaps besides this reason, there was no other motive that could make Ryujiro harbor such killing intent toward Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's forbidden Jutsus were depraved.
"Ryujiro actually killed someone as powerful as the Sannin."
"Damn it! Ryujiro, what have you been doing all these years? When can I surpass your strength?"
Naruto clenched his fists, looking unwilling.
Ryujiro walked up and flicked Naruto's forehead hard.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Ryujiro teased, "Naruto, you will surely surpass me one day."
Hearing this Naruto became happy and before he could reply Ryujiro continued.
"But maybe that day will come in your next life."
"Ah! Damn it!"
"Ryujiro, just wait, one day I'll pay you back for bullying me!"
Naruto rubbed his forehead, glaring at Ryujiro.
Things happened too suddenly, to the extent that Jiraiya didn't know how to bring up the matter after going back.
Orochimaru actually died at Ryujiro's hands, and Jiraiya felt strange about Ryujiro's feelings.
This little monster couldn't be viewed with the eyes of an ordinary child.
Jiraiya felt Ryujiro's depth was too profound, especially this time, evading them and wanting to kill Orochimaru. This series of actions were too weird.
There seems to be something shady about it.
It's just that Jiraiya felt a little emotional. It was really ridiculous that his classmate at that time died at the hands of such a young boy.
"Ryujiro, what did you do when you were following Guy? Why do you have such a terrible murderous intent?"
"Too much of this aura is not a good thing. You will lose yourself and gradually become obsessed with killing and derive pleasure from it."
Ryujiro glanced at Jiraiya and reported to Jiraiya about the mission with Guy and the number of ninjas he had killed over the years.
The more Jiraiya listened, the more frightened he became. He felt that what was scary about Ryujiro was how he killed these ninjas but the lack of expression on his face when he said these things.
Instead of showing remorse or empathy, when he revealed that information, Ryujiro's eyes showed no fluctuation.
For Ryujiro, these ninjas were nothing more than a number.
