"Uchiha brat, make me bow my head, in your dreams!! I'm going to eat you!"
The severe pain, instead of making the Black Scale Snake lower its head, actually aroused its ferocity. Its long body writhed.
"Hmph, hope you won't regret it!"
Rong Xia let out a cold laugh and jumped to the side to dodge. Although the size difference between himself and the Black Scale Giant Snake was enormous, being enveloped by this fellow's body wouldn't be a good thing.
Rong Xia drew the short sword from his back. Wind-nature chakra covered the short sword, turning it white and also making it much longer.
The coverage of wind-nature chakra made the sharpness of the short sword even more terrifying.
"Die, die!!!"
Under the stimulus of pain, the Black Scale Giant Snake became frenzied, attacking wildly like a madman, without any pattern. It had only one goal: to kill Rong Xia.
"Time... Slow."
"Break for me!!!"
But as the Black Scale Giant Snake approached him, Rong Xia directly controlled the slowing of time in the surrounding space. The short sword in his hand thrust out mercilessly, piercing its scales.
"Screech~~~"
The short sword, imbued with dense wind-nature chakra, with astonishing sharpness, easily cut through the Black Scale Giant Snake's scales, creating a huge wound several meters long.
Fresh blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Roar!!!"
Manda let out a piercing roar, its long body writhing. Rong Xia stuck close to its body, jumped up, and the short sword in his hand descended again, creating another long wound.
In just a few short minutes, the Black Scale Giant Snake was drenched in blood. Its hundred-meter-long massive body was covered everywhere with huge wounds several meters long. Fresh blood splattered and gushed, dyeing the ground red.
"Convinced or not!!!"
Wielding the short sword, Rong Xia's body was directly stained red with snake blood. His hair and face were all red.
A thick smell of blood emanated from him, making Rong Xia look terrifying. Timid people would feel fear just by looking at him.
"Convinced, convinced!!!"
Finally, the Black Scale Giant Snake surrendered. New wounds were constantly added to old ones; its entire body was covered in injuries. Fresh blood flowed continuously, making its movements slower and slower. If this continued, it might very well bleed to death directly.
With every strike from Rong Xia, a long wound was created. He showed no mercy at all. If it didn't submit, he would beat it to death.
A summoned beast like the Black Scale Snake, if you couldn't subdue it in one go, it would become more and more troublesome later. Rong Xia didn't want the Black Scale Snake to be like Orochimaru's Manda, acting like a scoundrel every time it was summoned, even needing a hundred people as sacrifices.
Orochimaru could torment sacrifices for Manda to enjoy without batting an eye, but Rong Xia couldn't!
He couldn't imagine how Manda's personality had been cultivated, nor what those so-called sacrifices had endured.
To think, if it was a hundred people at a time, how many people had Orochimaru indirectly killed to serve as snacks for Manda to enjoy?
Its body slowly became weaker, but Rong Xia showed no sign of retreating. The Black Scale Giant Snake was afraid, afraid that Rong Xia would really kill it.
"Bow your head sooner, why suffer such heavy injuries? Go back. Behave yourself next time! Don't even think about hiding, or the consequences will be severe."
Rong Xia, full of killing intent, wiped the fresh blood from his face and threatened.
Where was the Black Scale Snake's previous ferocity and imposing manner? It was like an obedient little dog, nodding its head repeatedly, incredibly submissive.
"Scram!!"
With a cold snort, Rong Xia finally let it leave.
"Bang!!!"
How could the Black Scale Snake dare to stay? It hurriedly left, afraid that Rong Xia would change his mind and stab it again. Rong Xia's strange ability had made it suffer greatly. Time was constantly slowed and accelerated, rendering the Black Scale Snake unable to use its immense strength, only able to take a beating in frustration.
"Phew~~~"
The Black Scale Snake disappeared. Rong Xia let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, this battle had exhausted him considerably. A large amount of chakra was consumed, and his physical strength was drained. Rong Xia panted slightly and sat directly on the ground.
Only after the Black Scale Snake left did he show a look of exhaustion. If the Black Scale Snake had seen Rong Xia in this state, given its ferocity, it wouldn't have left so easily and would definitely have chosen to fight Rong Xia to the end...
.........
"Rong Xia-kun, truly formidable, to directly subdue the great Black Scale Snake."
Orochimaru suppressed the shock and some other thoughts in his heart, smiling as he praised Rong Xia for obtaining a good summoned beast.
The process of Rong Xia subduing the Black Scale Snake couldn't help but remind Orochimaru of the first time he summoned Manda. He was tormented so miserably. Otherwise, with Orochimaru's personality, how could he allow Manda to treat him like that?
Now, even if Orochimaru wanted to change, it would be difficult. Manda had already formed a habit.
But the Black Scale Snake was different. This was the first time. As long as it was subdued this first time, it would become very obedient in the future.
"What a troublesome fellow. Luckily, I have some tricks, otherwise I could only run."
Being able to subdue the Black Scale Snake also made Rong Xia very happy. At least until his own strength grew, the Black Scale Snake would be a powerful ally for him. As long as he summoned the Black Scale Snake, his own strength would skyrocket.
Although he was very tired, Rong Xia was very happy.
"Uncle Snake, thanks."
Without Orochimaru, even if he wanted to, it would be very difficult to achieve. Moreover, because he had caused Orochimaru to pay a certain price, he needed to express his gratitude both in terms of sentiment and reason.
Orochimaru shook his head lightly, not minding, nor did he ask about Rong Xia's time-related ability. Although Orochimaru was eager to immediately study this strange ability of Rong Xia's, he wouldn't show it.1.2.
With the matter of the summoned beast settled, Orochimaru quickly left, evidently to make some preparations. Manda was not so easy to talk to.
To avoid looking too scary, Rong Xia jumped into a small river and began to wash off the fresh blood covering his body. The bloodstains on his body were washed away, but the blood on his clothes couldn't be removed. This set of clothes was ruined.
"You went to find Orochimaru?"
Rong Xia had just returned to the village and reached home when Tsunade rushed to the door.
"It was because of the summoned beast, so I went to find him. But now everything is settled."
Having subdued the Black Scale Snake, starting from today, he had a powerful summoned beast. Rong Xia was in a very good mood.
"You bastard, what's not good about toads?!"
