The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

An exaggeratedly large body that protrudes forward.

A simple charge easily broke through the wall of insect jade in front of them, which was as fragile as paper!

The myriad snakes pounced on him.

It was a clean and efficient act of devouring.

"what!?"

He swallowed Jian, who was seriously injured and whose reaction was slowed down by a beat or more, in one gulp.

Moreover, he maliciously and deliberately bit Jian into two pieces from the middle before swallowing it.

It won't kill you with a single blow.

But a method of dying that is painful enough.

Even on its deathbed, Jian endured this immense torment, uttering a piercing scream.

Coupled with the splattered blood.

"establish!"

Shin, who was a comrade-in-arms and, more accurately, the one with the best relationship in the Root organization, screamed with eyes wide with rage the moment he saw this scene.

The pupils hidden beneath the mask instantly became bloodshot.

However, he didn't even have much time to mourn his companions. After devouring the first one, the snake seemed to have a huge appetite, its eyes gleaming with greed.

They launched a direct and forceful attack on Shen's position.

Manda could clearly see it.

Each and every one of these people is delicious!

A giant snake came rushing towards them.

The moment that terrifying aura spread out...

Shen, who was standing close by, tensed up instinctively, a raw and chilling tremor running through his body.

"Water Release: Water Cleansing Wave Technique!"

That could only be a weak act of resistance.

"state!"

Then, just like Jian, he had almost no ability to resist and was swallowed whole by Wanshe.

"Build! Apply!"

An inescapable situation.

The overwhelming power brought by Manda.

Ryoma Aburame's expression turned terrifying. He truly hadn't expected Orochimaru's summoned beast to be so powerful; it was practically an instant kill! Ordinary ninjas simply couldn't withstand such an attack!

Even Sasuke was astonished by Manda's power.

He had already overestimated Manda's strength, but judging from his current performance, he had still greatly underestimated Manda's power!

Just like Gamabunta, the toad summoned by Naruto in the original work, who could barely fight against Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, when it was not in its full form.

Summoning beasts of the Manda caliber are definitely Kage-level beings!

To be more precise, Manda should be stronger than Gamabunta. As for Tsunade's slug, there's no comparison. Besides, slugs aren't fighting-style summons; they're support-type summons.

'Is this Orochimaru's most powerful summoning beast?'

Sasuke, standing atop Manda's head, appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was quite astonished.

"Haha, a bunch of trash think they can challenge me?! You're all destined to become my food!"

The ten thousand snakes laughed wildly.

The rampaging tail also sent several Root members flying. Of course, one or two of Orochimaru's subordinates who were fighting alongside him were also caught in the crossfire. Manda, already in a state of excitement, couldn't distinguish friend from foe.

He doesn't care about friends or enemies.

He only cares about whether he's happy or not!

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

On the scene.

None of these so-called elites could withstand Manda's powerful attack. In fact, even Sasuke would be in a tough spot against such a powerful Manda.

Manda's strength is simply too great.

It's impossible to deal with someone without a Shadow-level skill.

Manda, who is completely venting his emotions.

Then, spotting Longma's position, they launched a swift and powerful attack.

This powerful, soaring attack seemed capable of shaking the entire world.

From the angle that comes straight at you.

Ryoma bit his lower lip tightly.

"Secret Technique—Insect Cloud Storm Technique!"

Release the maximum amount of chakra possible.

The largest swarm of insects to arrive.

From the angle of the sweep.

He intended to block from the front, but unfortunately, Manda was completely unaffected. Moreover, Ryoma's condition had already been weakened to a certain extent, so the spell he released could not stop Manda's attack at all.

"Hmph! Little trick!"

That blatant disdain was evident.

A figure forcefully charging forward.

"boom!"

These parasites are so fragile they break at the slightest touch!

Another defense that was easily penetrated.

From the angle of the frame.

Longma's pupils suddenly contracted; the palpable aura of death was palpable at this critical moment.

"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet Technique!"

A deep, resonant voice rang out.

next second.

It's located directly behind Longma.

A giant red toad, whose size was no less than that of the Ten Thousand Snakes, suddenly appeared.

With a wide-open mouth.

The pungent smell of oil was ejected at high speed.

Above, a white-haired man rapidly formed hand seals, simultaneously unleashing a torrent of flames that mixed with the oil.

That terrifying power that expanded further.

Facing the rolling heatwave.

"!?"

A terrifying technique that even ten thousand snakes dare not face directly.

The distance created by being forced to retreat.

"boom!"

Just as the toad landed.

Manda and Sasuke also clearly saw the toad and the two people standing on its head.

"Hmph! It's you again, you stinking toad!"

At the same time, the ten thousand snakes were enraged.

Sasuke's gaze also sharpened.

"Jiraiya, Naruto!"

Chapter 248 The Arrival of Each Other

An unexpected encounter.

Sasuke really didn't expect to run into Naruto and Jiraiya here, especially the latter. Sasuke is no longer the ninja novice he used to be. A few months may seem short, but it's enough time for Sasuke to learn a lot of basic ninja knowledge. Sasuke knows Jiraiya very well; he was a powerful figure in the ninja world twenty or thirty years ago.

This is an existence that I cannot contend with at this stage.

In an instant, the thought of retreating arose in Sasuke's mind.

Although he is proud, he is no longer overly reckless.

Sasuke already had a fairly clear understanding of when and what appropriate choices to make.

"Sasuke!"

Unlike Sasuke, who was more wary of Jiraiya than with Naruto, Naruto was deeply moved when he saw Sasuke again after half a year. Menma and Sasuke were both his most important companions, his closest comrades, and even his brothers in Naruto's eyes.

Naruto is still the same Naruto. He may experience a temporary downturn due to setbacks, but he can always recover on his own.

Just as he himself said.

Even if it means breaking Menma and Sasuke's hands and feet, he will bring them back to Konoha.

Now that he could actually see Sasuke, Naruto's excitement was palpable.
