On the other side, Tagorihime kept sensing around, trying to find the Animal Path hidden from sight.
Even though the situation seems good right now, that's only because the other five of the Six Paths of Pain haven't acted yet.
To really turn the situation around, they still need to get rid of the key Animal Path.
But the chameleon's camouflage is made for those who use Sage Art, so it won't be easy to see through it.
At this moment, Tendo Pain appeared in the center of the battlefield, coldly looking around. "So, these are the summons from Ryuuchi Cave?"
"Summons… beasts?"
Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime pursed their lips, a similar anger flashing in their eyes.
Women, or rather, mother snakes, are naturally good at holding grudges and being petty.
Calling them beasts is like touching a sore spot that will make them angry.
If Tendo Pain was trying to anger them on purpose, then he did a great job. With one simple sentence, he made them lose their cool.
Tagorihime was angry, and Tagitsuhime simply gave up looking for the hungry ghost hidden inside the chameleon. She decided to attack the mocking unit first.
However, before the two snake princesses could attack, Tendo Pain pushed his hands outward and shouted, "Almighty Push!"
Visible shockwaves spread out in all directions from Tendo Pain.
Orochimaru and Manda who were 'connected', the two snake princesses on his shoulders, and Garaga who was fighting the rhinoceros summon, were all blown away by the force.
Only the Eight Heads Serpent and Ichikishima snake princess in the sky were not affected.
"That bastard!"
Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime brushed off the rubble and floated up again, their narrow snake eyes staring at Tendo Pain in the sky.
They remembered this mocking unit.
At this moment, two sounds of rushing wind came one after another.
The Asura Path with its unmatched strength, and the Human Path with its strange abilities and agility, went after the two snake princesses from the left and right, attacking with everything they had.
"You think you can stop us?"
Seeing that these guys didn't know what they were getting into, Tagorihime laughed in anger. "Perfect, we'll start with you."
As she spoke, eye shadow appeared around her eyes, and four sharp teeth grew in her mouth. She went directly into 'Sage Mode' and fought with the Asura Path.
On the other side, Manda, who was forced to separate from Orochimaru, also faced an opponent.
The hungry ghost was almost destroyed by Manda in one exchange. Desperate, the chameleon took off its disguise and used its long tongue to help, barely hanging on among the broken walls.
Now that the target he was looking for had finally appeared, Orochimaru didn't attack directly. He realized that something was wrong with the situation on the battlefield.
Looking around, he saw that everyone except him was engaged in battle: the three snake princesses and the two giant snake summons.
This situation wouldn't last long. Garaga and Manda were much stronger than their opponents, and they would be able to defeat them in no time.
But why did Nagato deliberately break up the group to create this opening?
Tendo Pain answered Orochimaru's question with his actions. His figure shot out and instantly appeared in front of Orochimaru, pressing both hands down. "Almighty Push!"
Before the Sage Art chakra he just gathered could be released, he was knocked over by a huge force and crashed into a large pit in the ground.
"That's not enough!"
The moment the force disappeared, the tough Orochimaru bounced back up. But at this time, Tendo Pain had already landed on his back, made another hand seal, and pressed down on his spine. "Contract Seal! Be sealed!"
Orochimaru looked back in shock, seeing black咒seals spreading from his spine like a spider web, covering his entire body in the blink of an eye.
In that instant, his contract with Ryuuchi Cave was cut off by the sealing jutsu Tendo Pain used.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The next moment, Manda, Garaga, and the three snake princesses disappeared in puffs of white smoke.
"I see! Well done."
Orochimaru suddenly understood. While he was focused on getting rid of the Animal Path, his opponent was thinking about how to seal his summoning abilities.
Battles between ninjas are not just about strength. They are also about information. Clearly, after he used the power of Ryuuchi Cave to intimidate Kumogakure, Nagato, considering him a potential enemy, specifically learned this technique.
Thoughts raced through his mind, but Orochimaru's hands didn't stop for a moment. He threw a heavy punch, knocking Pain off his back.
Boom…
The earth trembled, creating a deep pit, and the shockwave spread out in all directions.
Orochimaru moved his body, wanting to take advantage of the situation and add a few more hits. But the hyena, without Garaga as an opponent, pounced back with its four heads.
This dog thing was like a piece of gum, annoying him. Orochimaru's eyes flashed fiercely. He used his giant tail as a whip to knock it away, while making hand seals with both hands and shouting, "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation!"
The ground seemed to come to life and began to writhe, swallowing the hyena that fell on it, leaving only five dog heads outside.
The soil affected by Sage Art chakra was as hard as steel. He wouldn't have to worry about the hyena breaking free for a while.
Like being trapped in a cage.
After doing all this, Orochimaru felt no joy. During this time, the Six Paths of Pain, along with several other summons, surrounded him.
"Orochimaru, if you surrender now, I will give you the respect of a 'Konoha Three Ninja.'"
Tendo Pain rose into the sky, looking down at Orochimaru below, and said coldly, "Without Reverse Summoning to Ryuuchi Cave, you have no way to escape today. Don't do anything pointless."
"Surrender? Respect?"
Orochimaru flicked his red snake tongue, a strange smile appearing on his face. "You won't let me escape to Ryuuchi Cave? So the Contract Seal also has this meaning."
As expected of a student taught by Jiraiya, his battle intelligence is quite good.
However, he never intended to escape to Ryuuchi Cave through Reverse Summoning in the first place. In fact, he planned to stay away from there.
Turning from a human into a large snake, regardless of the reason, the White Snake Sage would undoubtedly be curious about this phenomenon and would definitely try to study it.
Orochimaru didn't know how a thousand-year-old snake would study him, but he definitely didn't want to try it out himself.
Tendo Pain's plan actually helped him a little.
After all, as 'partners' in cooperation, he couldn't take the initiative to use means to block the contract of summoning.
Of course, before calling this a 'help', the first thing to do is to escape from danger.
Orochimaru looked around at his enemies, a smile on his lips.
This fearless attitude made Tendo Pain's eyes narrow.
Even at this point, did he have other ways to escape?
