Tsunade Comes on Stage

"Do you think this move will be useful against me?" Manda bit Gamabunta's short knife and threw it away. Gamabunta stepped back, but unfortunately, Manda did not give him this opportunity and directly rushed forward.

Manda might not know any Ninjutsu, but his close combat ability was definitely the strongest among the Legendary Sannin's beast.

Manda was originally born for battle. Without ninjutsu, he could only rely on his techniques, metamorphosis, and of course, digging holes. However, in the original work, he dared to fight the two alone without cooperating with Orochimaru.

Although he only had the upper hand at the beginning and was suppressed not long after, it could not be denied that Manda was powerful. It was such a waste when Sasuke used him only to resist Deidara's ultimate jutsu. However, there was no way that Sasuke would survive even if he used everything he had.

"Gamabunta, time for the oil! Fire Release - Toad Oil Flame Bullet!" The speed of Jiraiya's hand seals finally began to show. Although it couldn't be compared to Itachi's six seals per second, he still managed to complete five seals in a second. Sometimes a fight didn't need to be too fast. As long as the user could complete their jutsu in time, it was enough.

With the help of Gamabunta's oil, Jiraiya's fireball from earlier immediately turned into a huge fire blast. Manda's entire body was enveloped in flames. A burnt smell appeared around him.

"Gamabunta!" Jiraiya's expression changed slightly, and he immediately warned his toad partner. Gamabunta was shocked for a moment, and he immediately thought of Manda's fighting style. Without thinking, he directly jumped away, narrowly avoiding the giant snake's surprise attack.

"Damn it. I won't let you go!" Manda roared in anger. He did not expect that he could not even deal with Gamabunta.

Gamabunta had a Kage-level ninja who could cooperate with him, while Manda was just a lone wolf. Moreover, Orochimaru could not use Ninjutsu right now. Rushing to close combat was just courting death. He might as well just stand there and watch Manda perform. At the same time, he could also make the insufferably arrogant snake suffer.

"You won't be able to defeat me. Water Release - Gunshot!" Gamabunta looked proudly at the Manda. However, his movements did not stop for even a moment. He shot out a blast of water in mid-air. Although it was dodged by Manda, the place where the water blast landed exploded into a cloud of dust. A deep pit appeared there.

"So powerful." Other than the last time he saw Ryoha, Kisame, and Itachi, this was the most powerful battle that Naruto had seen recently. The battle between the Summoning Beasts was too exciting. Naruto stared with his eyes wide open, not daring to blink. He was afraid of missing out on any part of this battle.

"Kakashi." Naruto was relaxed, but both Guy and Kakashi looked at Ryoha vigilantly. Orochimaru was now at a disadvantage, and he would be defeated soon. At that time, both Tsunade and Ryoha would be in trouble. If Jiraiya managed to hold Tsunade, then they had to deal with Ryoha.

"Grraaah!" Manda completely ignored Gamabunta's jutsu and rushed toward him. He tried to bite Gamabunta in confusion.

"Hmph, Ninja Art - Wild Lion's Mane Jutsu!" Jiraiya looked at the snake with a mocking look. This guy was too arrogant. His hair became longer and transformed into the shape of a lion's head. He tied the snake using his sawtooth rope-turned hair. Although the time he had to tie the snake was extremely short, it was enough.

"It's over, Manda. Odama Rasengan!" Jiraiya held a huge Rasengan in both hands and hit the snake with a loud bang. A dazzling light burst out. The whirlwind caused by the explosion of energy blew up the nearby dust.

"Hmm. It's about time." Tsunade also knew that Orochimaru was very weak now. Not only could he not use ninjutsu, but his genjutsu was also greatly affected. It was already amazing for him to fight against Jiraiya, who was in his prime.

"Kabuto, you are a medical ninja. Look at Tsunade's battle. You can get as much information as you can." Orochimaru really wanted to know how strong this Tsunade was.

The first time they met, her violent aura was like a vicious beast, making Orochimaru feel like he was just a small snake. This kind of pressure was really great. He couldn't help but recall the time when they were still young when the three of them faced Hanzo.

"Understood, Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto didn't have the chance to be proud of himself because Tsunade was different. She didn't have a phobia of blood, and she was much stronger.

Because he had just been defeated by Naruto, it didn't matter whether he had underestimated his opponent or not. He had lost. However, at the same time, this also woke Kabuto up. Seeing the great Tsunade before his eyes, Kabuto, who was also a medical ninja, naturally wanted to learn some stuff from her battle.

"Tsunade, don't tell me..." Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that Orochimaru would be like this. Today, he had to face another former comrade.

"Cut the crap. Jiraiya, prepare yourself." Tsunade walked to the place where Gamabunta's knife was stuck. She easily lifted the huge knife with one hand. Looking at her relaxed and casual appearance, it seemed that she was telling everyone that this was not a toad knife but a normal fruit knife.

"With this kind of power, even one punch is enough to kill me." Kabuto's head was covered in cold sweat. He had thought that if Tsunade was really as weak as Orochimaru had said and had a phobia of blood, he would still want to take advantage of her and fight her. Fortunately, he shouldn't do this now. He didn't want to die miserably.

"Tsunade's chakra-enchanced strength is much stronger than when she was in the Second War." Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Gamabunta looked at Tsunade in shock. Tsunade's power had increased again.

"Haah!" Tsunade shouted and threw the short knife in her hand. The terrifying power coupled with the huge size of the knife caused a sharp sonic boom. Even Gamabunta could only dodge, not daring to receive it. Now, Tsunade's power was like a bottomless pit. Even as a Summoning Beast, he was much stronger than most humans. Gamabunta would not dare to receive it.

"Heavenly Foot of Pain!" Tsunade's real attack was still yet to come. It was hard to tell that her pair of beautiful, round, and slender legs had such terrifying power. The ground in front of her exploded with a loud bang. The earth suddenly cracked and collapsed. The impact of Tsunade's kick extended towards Gamabunta.
