Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

Xin described the green snake in more detail. At this time, it should still be young- perfect for Nawaki. The green snake had great potential; it could grow up to be as powerful as Manda.

Manda-level snakes were out of Nawaki's league, but Minato could aim for something like Gamabunta. Nawaki, however, had to start with a younger, more manageable snake.

As for the snakes of Ryuchi Cave, they were a ruthless bunch. You either had to dominate them with strength or start a contract with one when it was young and grow together. "Green snake?" Manda mused. There were so many snakes in Ryuchi Cave, it was hard to keep track. And Manda lived deep within the cave, with a temperament that kept most snakes away from its territory.

"Master, I'll have to check on that," Manda said finally.

"Go ahead. If you can't find it, just pick a suitable snake for him to contract with. That's all I need from you," Xin said, waving his hand dismissively. "You can go now."

Manda lowered its giant head respectfully before ending the summoning and returning to Ryuchi Cave. It quickly sent a smaller snake to deliver the scroll to Orochimaru and relay Xin's instructions.

As Manda watched the messenger snake slither away, it couldn't help but follow Xin's orders to the letter. It even told the little snake to inform Orochimaru that during the war in the Land of Rain, he could summon Manda for battle.

Meanwhile, in the depths of a forest, Orochimaru sat on the ground, gasping for breath as several grayish-brown snakes emerged from the earth.

They quickly dispatched the two Hidden Rain ninja who had been attacking him, snapping their necks with lethal precision. Nearby, Tsunade and Jiraiya weren't in much better shape.

Tsunade was merely exhausted, but Jiraiya had taken a hit due to his carelessness, which had nearly driven Orochimaru to leave him behind. If Tsunade hadn't stopped him, Orochimaru might have done just that.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiraiya grumbled, clutching his wound. "If you'd been able to summon Manda, I wouldn't have gotten hurt. So really, it's your fault."

Orochimaru's face darkened, his fists clenching. He was seriously considering punching Jiraiya in the face.

You mess up, and it's somehow my fault for not being able to summon a creature? What kind of messed-up logic is that?

How the hell is this my problem?

Orochimaru was clearly holding himself back, and Jiraiya, sensing he'd pushed his luck, wisely shut his mouth. It might be fun to talk big for a moment, but push Orochimaru too far, and you'd find yourself six feet under.

Jiraiya knew better than to test Orochimaru's patience- anyone who did quickly learned that Orochimaru was ruthless enough to sacrifice anyone, especially Jiraiya if it suited him.

Given the chance, Orochimaru wouldn't hesitate to leave Jiraiya behind.
