Chapter 12 - Night of One Thousand Yokai

Tsunade twitched for a moment as her eyes filled with rage. The group knows what going to happen next, a furious rant from this lady will keep Juan ears ringing. And that is what she exactly did. Tsunade went on for minutes without end, yelling at the top of her lungs about the lies of what Juan just told her. But after her ranting she released Juan and gives him a hug and kiss on the forehead. "At least you are back with me. I know knew you will be back." Tsunade says as she caresses Juan like a baby.

"So, now that's out of the way. . . let us discuss about our old friend Orochimaru." Juan then removes himself from the grasp of Tsunade and makes his way back to a chair. Tsunade scoffs at the name of Orochimaru.

"That stalker and kidnapper just found sound army of yokai and declared himself as their leader. He keeps sending me letters of how he will reunite this land under our rule." Tsunade replies. "That man somehow got strong in his exile. Maybe the yokai gave him power or maybe being a snake shaman improved his powers over time." Tsunade then grabs her hair and she weaves it with her hand. Then she grabs a snail stuck in her hair and showed to her guests. "But I never felt or experience such power ever since I began as a snail shaman."

Juan then looks as Jasmine "Hey Chronicler, you still got that got I gave you?" Jasmine nods and hands Juan back the small box that he handed her during the incident back at Amihan's ship. Juan opens the box and a green smoke came out from the box and a frog leapt out. Jasmine was shocked that was Juan's frog. That frog protected her from the wolves when the devil attacks her and she felt relieved that the frog is still safe.

"Hey buddy! How is your sleep? Did your wounds heal?" Juan stops for a moment to stroke his frog and the frog leapt happily around his shoulder. "I used to be a teacher on this island. People grew to trust me and the royal families introduce me to Tsuande. She taught me the way of a shaman and then I chose to become a frog shaman. Then the royal family gave me, Tsunade and Orochimaru instructed us to be teachers of this island. We taught people how to live with animals and how to defend themselves from any yokais. For a time, they became my closes friends . . ."

Tsunade interrupts Juan and began to talk in angry tone "And that crumbles down when the royal family instructed me to marry you. You see, to make you a legal citizen on our island, marriage is the way. I was instructed to marry Jiraiya and I agree wholeheartedly but that idiot Orochimaru kidnapped me and declared Jiraiya enchanted me to love him."

"So this Orochimaru became even is because of a love triangle? Very cliché." Jasmine wishers to Amihan and she nods. The other guardians start to see the picture too. Orochimaru was in love with Tsunade and went his way to get back at Jiraiya by destroying his image.

"Pardon my intrusions but do you know that Jiraiya has other names and he got a life outside of this island? Like he got another name – Juan" Kislap asked to Tsunade and the lady smiles.

"Yes I knew that. I even knew that he got a family before but I don't care. In here he can live his life in peace and quiet. In here I see what kind of man he is and the royal family gave him a new name to honor his help with us, Jiraiya" Tsunade looks at Juan like a woman madly in love.

"And going back to the topic at hand, after she was kidnapped I rallied my students and went to save back Tsuande from the Orochimaru. I beg him to stop but he didn't give up easily. I told him that I had no intentions of marrying Tsunade but he is enraged and in grief. He keeps shouting that it doesn't matter as the royal family didn't support him as they already favor me" Juan pauses for a while as sadness began to take over his voice. His voice began to tremble and he continues "I gave him all that I can impart. Before that kidnapping, we became close and even treat each other as brothers. We battled bandits together and gave this land that best we can. Fate is cruel to anyone I treat as family."

As Juan was speaking Jasmine remembered that Juan had a fight with his brother, Thor. That caused him to leave his home and now Juan thought he has another brother in this island and eventually they fought. Fate has a twisted sense of humor to Juan and anyone he treats as family – he eventually fights them in the end.

"And luckily Jiraiya saved me and Orochimaru was stripped of his ranked and was to be executed. But Jiraiya pleaded the royal family to spare his life. In the end he was exiled and Jiraiya escaped at the night of our wedding." Tsunade looks at Juan and gives him a wink. "A wedding which we can continue"

"No, Tsuande. Again, I do appreciate your help and you loving me but it is a love that I can give you. Plus my wife will kill me if she I got another one besides her." Juan sheepishly says as he began to dodges Tsuande's glare. "But there is one thing we need to answer, how is he back with a yokai army?"

Tsunade then claps her hand then a group of servants enter the room with a huge table with a map on it. They placed it in the middle of the room so everyone can see it. It shows the map of the island and just like what Jasmine said before it is shaped like Japan. The map shows small red pins on the middle of the map up to the most south part of the main island while there smaller island sounding the map are filled with black pins. The other half the map is also filled with black pins and the most western part of the map is clear from any pins.

"That Jiraiya, I still not know. But we manage to persuade the Tengu to talk and he gave us information. Orochimaru is now commanding a multiple yokai clans and most of them allied themselves with him out of respect for his new power and his promise to unite the yokai – to rule this land. The surrounding islands were taken over by different bunch of yokais and the most south of here was assigned to the tengu clan." Tsunade began to show that the red pins are still under the royal family and the black pins are under Orochimaru's control.

Kulog then points out that most of the western are parts of the island that are not pinned and Tsunade replies that these parts are under yokai rule but are not participating with Orochimaru and demands to be spared. These are under the demon fox clan – the kitsune.

Gil then points out the middle of the map is a big castle. He asked if this is where the royal family lives and Tsunade confirms his hunch. She says that if the tengu's words are to be believed, then Orochimaru's forces are marching towards the royal palace and will take their fight to them. But she confidently says that not to worry, if troubled King Izanagi , Queen Izanami and most of their children can decimate them and push back Orochimaru to his most northern castle where it is located in a dense forest and it will take a three days journey from the nearest village to take you there.

Leshin asked why the yokai and the humans are fighting one another, back at the main land of Antrian, monsters of different kind roams the area and they accept all races from different continent, except those from the continent of Land of Origins and Freeman's Land, both races there are a bit wild and are prideful bunch. Leshin looks at Atlas he apologizes for being upfront and Atlas replied that it is fine since Leshin is just telling the truth, they are a proud race.

Tsunade and Juan inform that group that the yokais are made from the negative traits from their King Izanagi. The King used to rule as he see fit but wanted to be a just and kind ruler. So he tried to purge those the negative traits from him but instead those negativity took a physical form and become yokai. The King regrets his decision and was fearful for what he created, thus he ordered all of his men and all of the people he rule on this island to not trust a yokai and if it comes to it, kill them in self-defense.

As they were discussing, the doors to their room slid open in a rush and Kento run towards them. "Lady Tsunade! The royal palace is burning! The capital was taken over by Orochimaru, a large smoke can be seen on the sky."

Tsunade and Juan rushes out of the room and into a nearby balcony. As they look upon the horizon, a huge smoke can be seen. Fire illuminates the dark sky with the smoke rising more and more to the sky. Tsunade clutches her fist and shouts to Kento to alert the men and send aid to the nearby village.

"Tsunade, look at the village. They are defenseless, prepare the perimeters. If Orochimaru really wants you to be his queen and ruler over this land, then we need to hold out and find a way to defeat him." Juan then looks at Kento and asked all of the men to prepare for war. Orochimaru will arrive to get Tsunade.

"How did Orochimaru defeat the royal family? Did he really killed the King and Queen? The very same who made this island?" Tsunade's voice trembles in fear. She thinks for a second just to surrender and spare the lives of the men. She contemplates in silence as the castle began to wake up in preparation.

"I thought the royal family of this island can defeat this Orochimaru? Is the royal family old and unprotected?" Gil asked Juan but Juan retorts that the King Izanagi and Queen Izanami are beings of immense power as they created this island with their own hands. Gil comments that this is really weird, how a mere snake shaman cans can defeat such powerful beings.

"Beats me Gil, but if it is this weird maybe it is related to the snake cult we are dealing with? I mean Orochimaru did start his own party with the yokai."

As the other guardians are still discussing whether this is indeed connected to their snake cult mission, Tsunade asked if the group can join her to prepare the nearby village's defenses.

"It is sad to see your people be left in such a helpless state. But as a guardian, we are bonded by the vows we made to the Chronicler. If the Chronicler agrees, then we will lend our strength to aid you." Leshin speaks on behalf of the group as the other agrees with his statement except for Juan. Juan clearly wants to help Tsunade but Leshin's words are true: they must follow the Chronicler's word.

They all turned to the Chronicler expecting her to agree but they saw her standing by the balcony and staring into the smoke. She grips the book in her hand and seems she is talking to someone they can't see.

"Uh, is this normal for her?" Atlas asked but Leshin replies that she isn't like this before.

"Maybe she is talking to the lady from the bookmark?" Kulog made a wild guess.

Kislap runs toward Jasmine and sees that her eyes are fixated towards the sky. He waves his hand in front of her but Jasmine kept her gazed fixed into the sky. "Guys? She isn't responding. Her eyes didn't blink even once and she is starting to creep me out."

Tala flies over to see what is happening. She looks to the girl's eye and see the reflection of what he is looking at – the stars but her eyes are soulless. Tala informs the group to leave her for a moment with her. "Bad news, I think she accidentally astral project herself."

"Accidentally? How?! I thought she didn't know any magic?" Juan replies as he also tries to see what is wrong with Jasmine. The other guardians came to Jasmine side as well. Leshin and Juan use their magic to pull Jasmine back but to no avail. Tsunade also is confused as no magic is present in her room that allows anyone to astral project.

Gil tries to shake Jasmine but Amihan grew angry because Gil started to shake Jasmine violently. Tala then suggests everyone to leave and prepare the village's defenses. Tala will try to use her magic to astral project and pull Jasmine back but she will need someone to watch over their bodies. Amihan volunteers to remain and watch over their bodies. The rest of the group leaves and Tsunade ask some of her guards to stay closed beside the door.

Once the room is clear, Tala began to wave her wand prepares herself to astral project. After chanting her magic words and some pink wave of energy flies over the two of them, she began to stare at Jasmine's eye and she too started to stare at Jasmine while her wand steadily glows with magic.

Tala spirit left her body and starts to fly to the sky where Jasmine eyes where fixated. Tala being in astral projection knows the danger it can bring, both of their bodies are defenseless and their spirits can be caught by someone or something that can eat spirits whole. As Tala flies to the sky she sees nothing out of the ordinary but then she sees a huge mass of blue spirit flying from the direction of the royal palace. They spirits seems to be restless and swirling about. Tala ignores it she thought that these are the men that were killed defending the palace from Orochimaru's attack. She looks around and finds a blue spirit walking towards the village. Tala flies down to see a closer look at the spirit and sees that it is Jasmine.

"And where you think you are going? Ugh! Come back to the palace. We are not safe here." Tala scolds Jasmine as she lands in front of her. Jasmine is shaking, afraid and alone. She hugs Tala and thanks her for saving her.

"I don't know what happened Tala! I was with you guys at the castle. When Tsunade open the door to the balcony, I heard someone calling my name. I approached the balcony and then I blacked out. When I came to, I was here near the village and I feel not myself. I am sorry Tala! Please take me back"

"You astral project to this place and you didn't know? Maybe it was some kind of Mangkukulam that tries to take your soul. Just grab my hand and let's go. . ." Tala and Jasmine pauses as she sees Tsunade, Juan and the other guardian were riding horses to get to the village. The pass thru Tala and Jasmine and none of them seem to notice that the two of them are there.

"We are a ghost her. Our spirits can be taken if we are not careful. Come on and let us return." Tala then grabs Jasmine by the hand and the both of them starts to fly to the sky. As they ascend towards the castle of Tsunade they heard a loud thundering voice in the area.

"CHRONICLER JASMINE, I DEMAND YOUR ATTENTION AND PRESENCE! DO NOT GO!" The rumbling sound put the two of them in an immediate panic. "Woah, that was loud. Come on let us go Chronicler. If this is a Mangkukulam, then they can capture our souls. Come on!" Tala starts to fly faster.

Then a lord screech can be heard. The deafening sound disorients Tala and Jasmine from flying back to the castle and the both of them felt weak after hearing that sound. At the distance they can see a huge mass of spirits starts from the royal palace began to fly towards their direction.

"Tala, what was that?" Jasmine asked but Tala doesn't know what kind of magic that was used against them and they definitely don't want to stay to find out. They try to fly again but this time a large rumble can be heard underneath them then a large specter of ghost hands grabs a hold of them and began to pull them back to the ground.

"Tala, your magic! Use your magic!" Jasmine yells as she holds tighter to Tala.

"I can't! The spirit world is not my forte and I can't use my magic here! My magic is for physical fights and not spiritual ones!" Tala began to panic too as she struggles to free herself from the grip of the ghost hands.

Then hands began to overpower them and they are dragged from the sky back to the ground and into the village. As this is going the other guardians began to fortify the village. Tsunade order her men to place more sentries and patrols around their territory. Atlas craft massive rock to act as defensive walls. Gil summons water from the nearby river to refill the empty barrels for the village to stock up. Kislap and Kulog helps Juan on making plans how to defend the village against the yokai. Leshin on the other hand is with the elven crew of Amihan repair the ship with his magic to fly and join in the fight. The townspeople are now making their way to the castle to escape the impending fight with Orochimaru.

Tala and Jasmine are dragged to the center of the town. The ghostly arms that dragged them disappeared and began to dissipate. Tala and Jasmine are still confused why the hands left them there. The two sees the other guardians are busy and Tsuande commanding her men to the best of her abilities. Tala tries to figure out how to escape, every time she flies the hands return just to drag her back. Jasmine is still bewildered; no matter how hard Jasmine tries to grab on to Leshin, her hands passed him like a ghost.

The large voice returns and yells "CHRONICLER JASMINE, YOU ARE HERE. I HAVE COME TO ASK YOU A FAVOR: FREE ME. FREE ME FROM THIS REGRET THAT I AM IN." Jasmine and Tala heard the voice loud and clear. Tala asked who the voice is but no answer. Jasmine asked the voice to show itself to them and again no response.

"Hey whatever you are, what do you want from us? From the Chronicler?" Tala yells once more and she yells a man began to appear before them. The figure is an old man with one leg is missing and hold on to this clutches as he walks toward the two.

"Are you the one of summoning us here? Speak Mangkukulam!" Tala covers Jasmine as the old man continue to approach them.

"I apologize for dragging you here, literally. I must speak with you Chronicler; I need you to free me." The old man then sits on the fountain in the middle of the town. "I just wanted to talk with you Jasmine but I am weak and growing weaker by the second."

"Are you the one who called out my name and dragged my spirit here?"

"I am an old man and a fool. I need your help."

"Before we answer that, what are you? A Mangkukulam?" Tala asked as she still shields Jasmine behind her. The old shakes his head in disagreement.

"I have little time so I will spare you long version. Orochimaru have my power. I met him and I thought that he will use my power for good: To unite the yokai in harmony with the humans just like how I showed him. Instead a dark presence took a hold of him and he began to use my powers for his own selfish reasons. Implore you, stop Orochimaru before he becomes a god."

"Heresy! Bathala is the only one god we have." Tala hisses at the words of the old man. She believes that the old man is lying. But Jasmine ask Tala to calm down.

"Old man, if what you are saying is true . . . then that is the reason why Orochimaru was able to defeat the royal family?" Jasmine asks and the old man nods in return.

"Hold on, and then what kind of power did you give to Orochimaru? What corrupted him if he was good?" Tala asked more question but the old man body begins to fade out.

"My body, free my body from his grasps. Undo the mistake I done. This I ask you Chronicler." The old man speaks one last time before his spirit fades away.

The two are left speechless and more confused as ever. But as they prepare to fly and return to their bodies the ground shakes and the earth began to beat in a loud manner. The large spirit from the royal palace made its way here to the village and stopped at the gates of the village.

"EVERYONE TAKE COVER!" Atlas yells as he uses his magic to manipulate the earth split in half. The ground obeyed and he summoned whatever was below that Atlas sense. The earth spit out a huge snake that was digging underneath the ground. Other guardians took cover, the soldiers hide behind the walls but not Tsunade. She stands behind Atlas with her arms crossed with an attitude like of a mother protecting her children from danger.

The snake tries to break free as Atlas uses his magic to surround the snake in rocks to prevent it from moving. But it was a difficult task for the snake was large and huge, its height easily towers the small buildings of the village and its length thou most of its body is underground, Atlas can summarize that it is longer than what a snake should be. Atlas laughs as the snake struggles to escape from the rocks closing on to it. "Just like the hydra's back at home". With one more blast of magic from Atlas' hands, the ground underneath secured the snake in stone leaving the head the only thing that is not covered in stones.

"So Orochimaru has come to greet me with his pet snake. What does your master want?" Tsunade ask the snake then the snake opens its mouth to reveal a person emerging from it.

"My lovely Tsunade. I have come to fulfill my promise: I have eradicated the system, destroyed the royal family and now I have the yokai under me. Now we can rule this land and be free. Let the yokai live in harmony with the humans." Orochimaru smiles and extends his arms toward Tsunade.

"You did all of this senseless violence for me. Your campaign shed innocent blood just to marry me? What kind of fool will marry you? You bring the yokai under your heel and let them cause chaos" as Tsunade says she signals Atlas to back away. Tsunade holds her ground and Atlas follows her wishes.

"The royal family didn't give a damn for the yokai. They were washed from Izanagi mind because he these thoughts are evil. The royal family didn't even look at them to see what they truly are. I see what they can be and I am ashamed that we bought the lies of the King because he says so. I am here to change that."

"So you a gather the yokai to show the people how good they are by killing the people."

"No, I killed the royal family and their supporters." Orochimaru then throws the lifeless body of two people from the mouth of the snake. The two bodies are left lifeless and bloodied. Tsunade asked his men to take the body and inspect them. The men went out of hiding and took the body back to the village. As they turn the bodies they were shocked.

"It's Lord Hoderi and Hoori! They are dead!" the soldiers yelled as they realized two of the royal family members are dead right before them. This gave Tsunade's men fear and they started to doubt they can stand a chance against Orochimaru.

"I spared the regions that are against the royal family. Regions those are done with the current system. And I as run my campaign, more and more yokai and humans swear their allegiance to me. And after many cycles, I manage to strike at the heart of this island and killed the royal family."

"Then show me the body of the King and Queen. Show me their body and I will believe you." Tsunade smirks as she knows one thing, that Orochimaru cannot kill the King and Queen that easy. She thinks that maybe the family left or escaped. She hopes that her bluff can make Orochimaru look like a fool.

"As you wish." Orochimaru throws three more things and it landed before Tsunade. Ame-no-Nuboko the heavenly spear of King Izanagi and Queen Izanami that created this island and the two sapphire orbs that controls the rise and fall of the sea. Tsunade now felt the despair come running in her spine. The spear is always carried by the King and Queen on where every they go while the orb are always with the Hoderi and Hoori.

"I see. So you have won." Tsunade tries her best not to show her weakness. She tries her best not to break down in front of Orochimaru. But the more she holds back, the more Orochimaru giggles.

"I did what is needed. To unite the yokai with the humans. To destroy the old system. To rebuild this island. All of this to make a better future and I want you to be my queen as I rebuild this land".

While this is happening, Tala and Jasmine still astral projects as they witness the arrival of the snake. Tala wants them to go back but Jasmine asks Tala to wait longer as she feels the book breathing again. Jasmine explained that this happened before and when it does, something happens to White Chronicle. When Orochimaru emerged from the mouth of the snake, Orochimaru glows in a very bright light, like a lighthouse or very powerful lamp that can shine in the darkness cave. It shines so bright that it blinds Tala and Jasmine.

Tala pulls Jasmine and flies away. "Okay, I know you want to stay but that light signifies something and I don't wanna know what is it." Tala says with great urgency. As they fly back to their bodies Jasmine still thinks of what the old man told them and asked Tala where is Bathala. To Tala replied "He is resting. Where I do not know where but he left us a message."

"Then how do you know he is real?"

"Because he left us a gift, The Great Balete Trees. He told his first children that he will take a rest and when they need them, they can use The Great Balete Trees to awake him. But for many generations none of his first children manage to wake him and the knowledge how to wake him is lost with them."

So why I was summoned to this world? Was it the intervention of Bathala or the previous Chronicler? Argh. This is getting out of hand. One step at a time Jasmine, first step – stop Orochimaru.

Tsunade put a brave face and she began to walk towards the snake. "If I take your hand Orochimaru, will you stop the senseless violence?"

"Ofcourse! You are my Queen and your men will be spared. That I can promise you."

Atlas is still taking cover behind the wall and was signaling the other guardians if they are going to attack or not. Kislap and Kulog want to attack but they are concern that the soldiers might die. Juan signals the other guardians to help him attack but not of them seem to follow him. Gil is just beside Juana and reminds him that they are still waiting for the signal of the Chronicler if they will join or not.

Juan is getting agitated. He understands why the guardians are not attacking but he desperately wants to help Tsunade. "Damn it all." He whispers to himself and turns at the corner and shouts to Orochimaru "And kill the men if they disobey your rules? I see revolutions like this before and the hero that was stated in power will be corrupt themselves. Do you want to be the next Izanagi? Will you wash your negative traits too?"

Orochimaru changes his expression from happiness and rage in an instant. "How?! The seas and land of the south are led by Yokoshima and his tengu. I told them to kill anyone who approaches the island." Orochimaru's eyes turn red and he draws his katana and pointed at Juan. "You will not stop me! I will have my happiness. I will have peace."

"You did! And you destroyed it because of your grand illusion of me taking Tsuande away from you. I told you before that she is yours and I won't marry her but your hatred towards me and the decision of the royal family drove you to this? A madman on a quest for peace. What a joke."

"You will not make a mockery of me Jiraiya!" Orochimaru yells as he taps on his snake. Orochimaru jumps from the snake and onto the ground. The snake began to shake furiously to escape the stone prison that Atlas made. Orochimaru cast his magic and his clothes began to morph into samurai armor.

"I would give Tsunade to you but I can't just let a lady fall into the hands of a creep like you." Juan also transforms his clothes into samurai armor and unsheathes his knife.

"This is why I love you Jiraiya, such a gentleman." This comment by Tsunade made Orochimaru angrier. He rushes towards Juan in a mad dash and slashes him without fail. Juan blocks the attacks and manage to get parry every slash.

The snake began to break the rocks. Tsunade cast her magic and her clothes transforms into a beautiful scarlet armor. She signals her men to aim at the snake and shot their arrows. Tsunade grabs a bow and also fire arrows to the snake but no matter how many arrows the shot none manage to stab its scales.

Juan notices that every slash that Orochimaru made, the slashes get stronger and stronger. Juan tries to disengage but Orochimaru is persistent. Then as he corner on a wall, Orochimaru keep slashing and slashing until Juan takes a knee from the heavy blows. Before Orochimaru can deliver a strike he was blown away from a force he didn't see. He flew so high that the snake manages to match Orochimaru on his mouth.

"Who dares attack Lord Orochimaru?!" he yells as he tries to recover from the blow. He noticed that whatever hit him manage to destroy the left shoulder part of his armor. He looks back and sees a huge arm emerged from the other side of the wall. Then Atlas turns to the corner and reveals himself.

"Guardians! We support lady Tsunade, attack Orochimaru and subdue him!" from above Amihan and Tala brings Jasmine from the sky. Kislap and Kulog went out from their hiding spot and conjure their magic. They hit the snake with their lighting it was hurt so bad that it let go Orochimaru.

Before Orochimaru can fall to the ground, he was bombarded by fire tornadoes from Amihan and Tala. And as he lands to the ground Gil cast his magic and summoned a water tentacle and grabs Orochimaru by the foot and lifted him to air then it slammed him again and again.

Orochimaru grabs the water tentacle and drinks the water until the water can't support his weight. "Guardians?! So you brought the Chronicler here eh? Wise." Orochimaru gets back on his feet then he sheathes his katana and in a blink of an eye he was swallowed by his snake and it retreats back to the hole.

"After him!" Tsunade yells. His men takes their horses and follow the moving mound.

"This isn't over. He knows that I am here and I guess I passed him off. I guess marriage is off and he wants our head as his new favorite decoration." Juan says to Tsuande.

Tsunade gave Juan a hug and she thanks him for saving her. Juan says that it is the best time to strike and they should follow Orochimaru while his yokai are not here. He is defenseless and they should get him before he can call any reinforcement.

As they were collecting themselves, blood curdling shouts can be heard from the road beyond the village. After a trampling can be heard; the horses came running back to the village and ran pass them. In the darkness they see purple flames dancing in the dark. Amihan points out small yellow fires are also dancing in the edge of the forest nearing them. Tala sees what looks like red umbrella falling from the sky. Gil points out weird green creatures are emerging from the river near the village. The winds grew cold and Tala finds there is dreadful sensation coming from all these.

"Oh no, yokai." Tsunade yells for her men to barricade the village and defend it at all cost.

From the darkness, Orochimaru laughs and giggles are heard. His sinister tone and slithering tone can be heard from the darkness that surrounds the village. "I am the hero here. I see now Tsunade that you cling to the system I want to destroy. You are still holding on to the past that I want to eradicate. That can be solved. I will kill every one of them until you are the last one standing. Tonight you shall hear my grand performance, behold for I shall sing you the anthem I made for the yokai. I call this Sen Yōkai no Yoru"

As Orochimaru began to sing, the yokais began to charge from all direction and the guardians are in for another fight for their lives.
