Orochimaru felt a warmth in his heart.
Even though he and Jiraiya had long gone separate ways, like the old days, they had no choice but to fight side by side. This guy Jiraiya still willing to use his life to cover for him.
Just as Orochimaru was moved, Jiraiya's words brought him back: "Right, you cover me for five minutes first..."
"..."
Orochimaru wanted to curse.
Is this bastard speaking human language?
It's no wonder he taught Akihara Kagura; they both speak the same infuriating words. Just with the attack strength of the Pain Six Paths, how could he cover him for five minutes?
"In this five-minute period, absolutely do not let me be attacked."
Jiraiya didn't care about Orochimaru's thoughts. At this moment, he completely trusted Orochimaru and directly stated his goal: "I need five minutes to enter Sage Mode..."
"Fine."
Orochimaru swallowed his urge to swear and offered his own request: "Before that, summon a creature to assist me..."
"Ninpo: Summoning Jutsu!"
Jiraiya, on the outside, could finally unleash his summoning creature without restraint, directly summoning a gigantic toad. This toad had one paw holding a fork and another holding a shield!
"Game Ken, huh..."
Jiraiya felt somewhat disappointed, but not overly so.
Because Game Ken is also one of the high levels of Mount Myoboku, a brother of Gama Bunta, with a more agreeable temperament. It happened that it wouldn't be particularly repulsive to fight alongside Orochimaru.
Jiraiya couldn't waste time and hurriedly instructed: "Game Ken, assist Orochimaru in battle and follow all of Orochimaru's instructions. I need five minutes to absorb Natural Energy and summon Fukasaku and Shima, the Immortal duo..."
"Alright..."
Game Ken nodded, but simply mentioned a concern: "I'll listen to him, but will this person let the snakes of Ryuchi Cave eat me…"
"..."
Orochimaru's face darkened.
"No, they won't."
Jiraiya suddenly clasped his hands together and said solemnly: "I'm counting on you now; don't let Nagato and his puppets disrupt my state in five minutes!"
"Got it…"
Orochimaru impatiently snorted coldly.
"Five minutes, huh…"
Deva Path Pain raised his palm and coldly spoke: "In five minutes, I could kill you countless times! Heavenly Attraction!"
Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Game Ken's bodies involuntarily got pulled in!
However, Game Ken didn't hesitate, directly raised the fork in his hand, and pinned Jiraiya's waist down, forcibly nailing Jiraiya to the ground, preventing Jiraiya and himself from flying toward Deva Path Pain!
"..."
Jiraiya's eyes widened involuntarily.
Game Ken's methods were truly simple and rough!
But one had to admit…
This method was the best choice!
"Almighty Push!"
Deva Path Pain frowned, raising his hand to release a repulsive shockwave!
Yet, Game Ken decisively raised his shield firmly blocking in front of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, preventing Jiraiya's body from being blown away by the repulsion. His own body couldn't resist and got flung out, even spitting blood under the impact, yet he didn't care!
"Really a straightforward fellow…"
Orochimaru was also blown away, but during his time in the air, he hurriedly performed Orochi Style Substitute Jutsu, opened his mouth wide, and shed a layer of skin!
Orochimaru's lower body suddenly transformed into a snake tail, abruptly charging toward Deva Path Pain, raising his hand to unleash countless long snakes!
"Array of Ten Thousand Snakes!"
"This guy..."
Deva Path Pain's ability entered cooldown.
Asura Path Pain directly disassembled his wrist, a string of missiles appearing on his arm, directly launching toward the snake horde, blowing the frontmost snakes into pieces!
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Animal Path Pain clasped his hands in summoning!
A giant Yatagarasu suddenly flew out, rushing toward the snake horde, dropping eggs from its belly that exploded upon landing!
The Array of Ten Thousand Snakes was quickly annihilated by this Yatagarasu!
Just at this moment…
Deva Path Pain's Almighty Push cooldown finally ended, his palm rising to release a vigorous repulsion: "Almighty Push!"
However, Orochimaru had anticipated the enemy's move, preemptively clasping his hands in hand seals for summoning!
"Summoning Jutsu: Triple Rashomon!"
Three Rashomon gates emerged from the ground, appearing before Orochimaru!
These three Rashomon gates seemingly descended from hell, resembling wide-mouthed human faces nonstop weakening the incoming repulsion from Deva Path Pain!
Each Rashomon would weaken the repulsion from Deva Path Pain!
The first Rashomon was destroyed by the repulsion, the second Rashomon weakened the attack, and even Pain's repulsion couldn't break through the third Rashomon's attack!
"..."
Deva Path Pain squinted his eyes, somewhat surprised.
"Your repulsion has a cooldown, doesn't it…"
Orochimaru's mouth curled into a smile, his body limber as a snake, abruptly bypassing Pain Six Paths, moving toward Nagato's direction!
Clearly!
Orochimaru intended to head directly for Nagato, who was controlling the puppets!
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Nagato summoned a gigantic chameleon, which directly carried Nagato's body and vanished out of Orochimaru's sight!
