"Hidden shadow snake hands"This was Orochimaru's signature technique!
After receiving the summoning jutsu two years ago, Orochimaru had developed this technique as an extension of it. For him, learning ninjutsu had become far easier compared to the complex process of scientific re
Meanwhile, the battle around them was becoming more intense. Elsewhere on the battlefield, other ninjas were beginning to suffer casualties.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"
The ground beneath one of the Kumo ninjas suddenly turned soft and slippery, forming a river of mud that dragged him down. Before he could react, his legs were caught in the mire, making it impossible for him to escape.
"Cloud Style: Downward Slash!"
In another part of the battlefield, a Konoha ANBU ninja was struck by a Kumo ninja's blade, a deep gash opening across his chest. Blood splattered as the ninja grunted in pain, stumbling backward.
Shuriken, kunai, and explosive tags flew through the air, detonating across the forest as the sounds of battle filled the entire area.

Hiruzen, after quickly dispatching one of the Kumo ninjas, glanced over at the three children who were still engaged in a fierce fight with their opponents. His eyes narrowed with concern as he noticed that the two remaining Kumo ninjas seemed to be gaining the upper hand.
"Orochimaru! Now's your chance use it!" He shouted, signaling to his student.
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with understanding. Without hesitation, he flicked his wrist, pulling out a kunai with an explosive tag attached to it and hurling it toward the enemy.
Boom!
The explosion forced the two Kumo ninjas to retreat, momentarily creating a gap between them and the young Konoha ninjas.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya immediately regrouped, standing back to back. Without a word, they bit their thumbs, drawing blood, and began forming hand seals in perfect synchrony.
Boar → Dog→ Bird→ Monkey→ Ram!
"Summoning Jutsu!"
In unison, they slammed their palms onto the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three enormous clouds of white smoke exploded from the ground, billowing up and covering the battlefield. As the smoke quickly dissipated, three gigantic summons appeared in front of the stunned enemies.
But that wasn't all there was a fourth summon.
Standing tall beside the three young summons was Hiruzen's own summon the powerful Monkey King Enma.

The Kumo ninjas stared in disbelief as the massive creatures loomed before them. Orochimaru's massive snake, Jiraiya's toad, Tsunade's slug, and Sarutobi's Monkey King were now all on the battlefield.
"Tch! Damn it!" one of the Kumo ninjas cursed under his breath. He knew the tide of battle had shifted dramatically.
These were no ordinary brats they were clearly prodigies trained by one of the greatest ninjas in Konoha. The odds of winning had just plummeted.
"Get ready!" Shai, still locked in combat Hiruzen, shouted to his team. "We can't back down now!"
With their summons backing them, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade prepared for the next phase of the battle. The real fight was about to begin, and this time, the Kumo ninjas were up against forces far beyond what they had anticipated.
With a confident smirk, Orochimaru gripped his kunai tighter, his cold eyes fixed on the enemy. "Let's finish this."
