"Did we get him, 'bunta?" Jiraiya called out, shielding his eyes against the intense light given off by the remains of their combo technique. In the hellish swath left behind, Jiraiya thought he could see a tattered silhouette.

"No." Gamabunta growled, drawing his custom blade. "Manda is too damn slick to die that easily." Beneath the Toad's feet the ground began to rumble even as the fires of their combo attack died down enough to revealed a huge, hastily shed snake skin. "Knew it!" Gamabunta brought his blade to bare as the ground split open and revealed…Manda's tail. "Oh fuck…" Gamabunta groaned as the top half Manda popped out behind the Toad, giving the Serpent King a clear shot at his enemie's back. Hissing in glee, Manda snapped his jaws open and descended to bite. On the top of Gamabunta's head, Jiraiya spun on the spot and grinned wickedly, holding a red and black scroll still smoking from its unsealing.

"Fire in the hole slinky!" Jiraiya howled as he chucked the scroll into Manda's open mouth. Flipping off the snake summon as Gamabunta leapt away from Manda, Jiraiya watched expectantly as the demolition scroll he'd thrown burnt down its minimum10 second delay. Desperately, Manda lashed his head side to side, nearly dislodging Orochimaru. Knowing he was running out of time, Manda quickly resorted to desperate measures. Throwing his head so violently it actually pitched Orochimaru off, Manda flexed his internal musculature and vomited. The resulting spray of bile and half-digested meat managed to force the demo scroll out. As soon as it was out of his mouth, Manda dove head first into the ground and tried to burrow away from the blast. He did not completely succeed. Screeching in pain as the exploding demo scroll cut up his back, Manda swore to himself that one day he WAS going to eat that Toad-loving fool.
