Even at a distance, the power and heat from Daichi's right-hand Rasengan rippled across the air, warping the light around it.

Meanwhile, the swirling Wind Rasengan crackled with lethal cutting potential. Daichi's arms slightly shook, and the battered ground beneath him cracked from the chakra pressure.

Daichi internally grimaced as he held two extremely powerful techniques in his hands. 'If I didn't have the game's body or the Hundred healing seal, I'd be in big trouble right now.'

Up ahead, Orochimaru sensed the threat creeping ever higher. He kept shooting anxious glances from multiple serpent eyes, each pinned under that tri-ninjutsu combo. 'I have to do something... If even one of those spheres touches me, it could pierce my defenses and destroy most of my body from the inside out. But if those jutsus hit me together, I'm finished.'

The danger radiating from Daichi's dual Rasengans was palpable, setting Orochimaru's instincts on edge. Swallowing fear, he channeled more chakra through his monstrous body. 'I have to break free and attack him before he can launch those at me.'

Three of the Eight Serpent's heads aggressively struggled and managed to break free of the trap. Stone arms snapped under the sudden surge of power, and Orochimaru roared triumphantly. 'Finally! Time to cripple that brat. With his Regeneration seal, he should be able to recover by the time I capture him.'

The newly freed serpentine necks lunged forward, jaws wide, aiming to strike Daichi before he could launch his monstrous jutsu.

But in this heated battle Orochimaru made a small error. He ignored Jiraiya, Kakashi and Tobirama. He failed to take in the threat they posed and how quickly they could react.

The three Leaf ninjas sprang into action the moment they saw the large snake heads break free. The three shinobi appeared near the real Daichi and quickly spread out.

Tobirama's hands flew through a flurry of signs, and a fierce torrent of water materialized around his mouth.

"Water Style: Severing Waves!"

A high-pressure stream of water, so sharp it could carve through rock—sliced cleanly through one of the massive serpentine necks. The head hit the swamp with a thunderous impact, sending mud and blood splattering in all directions.

Kakashi dashed forward, lightning crackling from his palms. He shaped it into a long spear-like projection that extended several meters ahead, honing it into a lethal point. "Chidori Spear!"

He lunged, piercing through another of the hydra's attacking heads right through the long neck. The serpent's head was cut cleanly and arcs of electricity raced across the lifeless scales as it fell to the ground.

Jiraiya's hair expanded rapidly as he made his move. "Art of the Raging Lion's Mane!"

His white hair hardened into razor-sharp tendrils, lashing out with unstoppable force. They coiled around the third serpentine neck, constricting it violently until the scales tore, severing the monstrous head in a spray of dark blood.

All three heads collapsed, leaving the battered hydra pinned once more in the swamp, only five heads left to hiss and convulse.

Orochimaru, rage twisted across his features, howled in fury from the safety of one of the intact heads. "You... meddlesome fools! Getting in my way again and again."

"We did it," Kakashi muttered, breathing fast. The Chidori spear took a lot out of him.

"Yeah, but is it enough?" Jiraiya asked with doubt.
