Tailed Beasts, the most terrifying creatures in the Ninja World—without exception. Whether it's the One-Tail or the Nine-Tails, they possess massive amounts of chakra and enormous bodies far beyond what humans can achieve. 

Given their immense power, any movement from these Tailed Beasts would cause tremendous destruction in the human world. At this moment, the rampaging One-Tail Shukaku has appeared in Konoha Village, which undoubtedly spells disaster for the village.

Especially now, with external enemies invading, most of the village's ninjas have already gone to defend against the outside threat, leaving the remaining villagers helpless against this monstrous creature that wreaks havoc freely!

"Boom!"

Each swing of Shukaku's massive tail destroys countless houses. Konoha's sturdy buildings are like toy blocks to it—just a simple tail swipe turns months of painstaking construction into rubble with ease.

At this point, Shukaku was like a crazed animal, delighting in destroying everything in sight, as if only such destruction could satisfy it. The Konoha ninjas on the ground had no way of dealing with such a gigantic monster.

A few ninjas, furious at the destruction, formed seals and launched Fire-Style ninjutsu toward it.

However, these attacks had no effect on Shukaku; instead, it saw them as provocations. Already enraged, Shukaku's anger deepened, and it slammed its massive paw down, crushing several Chunin into pulp.

Just as everyone was at a loss for what to do, a figure in a ninja uniform suddenly arrived on the scene. His long, black hair flowed freely, and there were faint beads of sweat on his pale face.

He narrowed his slender eyes, gazing intensely at the rampaging Shukaku with a serious expression. Seeing him arrive, the surrounding Konoha ninjas let out a sigh of relief.

"It's Lord Orochimaru, thank goodness!" someone muttered quietly.

"That's right, with Lord Orochimaru here, he'll surely have a way to deal with this beast. Let's see it get what it deserves!" someone said excitedly.

Orochimaru didn't pay attention to their words, his eyes fixated on Shukaku, as if trying to figure something out.

After a moment, when Orochimaru's gaze finally shifted to a small figure atop Shukaku's head, his snake-like pupils narrowed slightly, and he rasped in a low voice.

"As I thought... Suna has mastered the Jinchuriki technique. If I'm not mistaken, the person atop Shukaku's head must be the Jinchuriki from Suna. To deal with Shukaku, we need to take care of the Jinchuriki first!"

With this realization, Orochimaru's snake-like pupils gleamed with a mysterious light.

Meanwhile, near Shukaku's location, in a concealed corner, another figure quietly hid. His body was stained with dried blood, suggesting he had previously suffered serious injuries.

His index and middle fingers were pressed together as if controlling something.

A small, floating eyeball, about the size of a human eye, hovered above his head, silently observing everything around him. No one could detect such a small object in the darkness.

When the eyeball saw Orochimaru arrive, the hidden figure paused briefly, then smirked coldly and spoke calmly.

"Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, huh."

After saying this, he seemed to think of something, a faint smile forming at the corner of his mouth. He slowly drew out a ninja tool bound with sealing tags from his hand, quickly forming a complex series of hand seals.

As he performed these seals, Shukaku, who had been wildly wreaking havoc, suddenly froze. The blood-red glow in its eyes slowly faded, replaced by clear, beast-like pupils.

Seeing Shukaku stop its destructive actions, the Konoha ninjas were momentarily stunned.

"Lord Orochimaru hasn't even made a move yet, so why did it stop?" one ninja asked, concerned.

Hearing this, another ninja slapped his head excitedly.

"You don't understand, do you? This is Lord Orochimaru we're talking about, one of the legendary Sannin. He must have already used some method to stop the One-Tail! You just don't get it!"

The confused ninja nodded absentmindedly.

Even Orochimaru, who had just arrived, was puzzled. He couldn't understand why Shukaku had suddenly stopped moving.

Could something have happened to the Jinchuriki on its head?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Shukaku's body suddenly trembled, and it started moving again, roaring in excitement.

"I'm finally free! Ahaha! This feeling of freedom is amazing!"

"Boom—"

With its excitement, countless more houses were easily destroyed.

Shukaku, now moving like an excited tanuki, hopped around, its massive body shaking the ground with each jump. Its tail casually swiped, demolishing countless buildings.

Orochimaru's brow furrowed as he watched, his raspy voice cutting through the chaos.

"The Tailed Beast's instincts have been unleashed? So, its consciousness must have been sealed before. In any case, this creature must be dealt with, or the village will suffer too much damage."

With this thought, a cold gleam flashed in Orochimaru's snake-like eyes as he bit his finger and quickly formed hand seals.

He slammed both hands onto the ground, and a massive black seal formation rapidly spread outwards.

"Boom!"

A huge cloud of white smoke billowed up!

The loud commotion instantly caught Shukaku's attention. It turned its head, its large, beast-like eyes filled with curiosity as it stared at the white smoke.

As the smoke cleared, a massive purple snake coiled on the ground, its body so large that even compared to Shukaku, it was not much smaller.

Orochimaru stood atop the snake's head, standing tall in the wind.

"Whoosh—"

The wind blew, ruffling Orochimaru's long black hair. He gazed coldly at Shukaku and spoke in his raspy voice.

"Manda, I need you to either deal with that creature in front of us or help me reach the top of its head."

Hearing Orochimaru's request, Manda's enormous snake eyes glinted menacingly, and its cold voice replied.

"Orochimaru, your request is quite bold. You think you can make me fight the One-Tail just after signing a contract with me? This kind of thing isn't up for negotiation. If you've got nothing else, I'm leaving."

Hearing this, Orochimaru frowned slightly, then spoke in a low voice after a brief pause.

"Defeat it, and I'll find you 100 bodies."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's offer, Manda's expression softened, and it replied in a deep voice.

"I'll only take you to the top. You handle the rest. I want 200 bodies, no less."

Without arguing, Orochimaru nodded calmly, his face expressionless.

Seeing Orochimaru agree, Manda smiled coldly and said softly.

"Watch closely. Behold the power of Manda, the Great Serpent!" 

With that, its massive body surged toward Shukaku!
