As a bonus action, Manda gains the ability to move across any liquid surface— such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava— as if it were harmless solid ground (creatures crossing molten lava can still take damage from the heat) for 1 minute. If Manda casts this Jutsu while submerged in a liquid, the Jutsu carries him to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round.

Gathering of the Snakes (5 Chakra). When Manda loses a body part but it is not completely destroyed (i.e. having an arm cut off, being blown in half by an Explosive Style jutsu, not being shredded by a Rasengan or incinerated by Blaze Style), he reattaches it. This does not restore hit points or heal the body part, only functionality. Chakra Absorbing Snakes (8 Chakra). One creature within 30 ft. must attempt a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, becoming restrained on a failure. They may attempt a DC 13 Strength saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending this effect early on a success.

Twin Snakes Mutual Death (20 Chakra). One creature within 30 ft. must attempt a death saving throw at the beginning of each of their next turns until they succeed or fail 3 times, regardless of their current hit points.

On a hit or miss, every targeted creature is moved 5 ft. away from where they were targeted in a direction of their choice. Coiling Around (2 Chakra). While grappling a creature, they must make a DC 18 Strength saving throw. On a failure, they take Manda's unarmed strike's damage and can't attempt to escape Manda's grapple until the beginning of Manda's next turn. On a success, they take half as much damage. REACTIONSIron Mountain Leaning (3 Chakra).

Orochimaru Style Substitution (3+ Chakra). When Manda is targeted by a saving throw and would take damage, he decreases the damage by 33 (2d6 + 16). Manda can reduce this damage by an additional 7 (2d6) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost. |
The longest living boss summon of Ryūchi Cave, Manda is the polar opposite of Gamabunta. Cruel and overly proud, Orochimaru is the only known shinobi to have been capable of controlling him, mostly through fear of the snakeman's power. In instances where he feels he has been unfairly summoned, he typically demands large numbers of human sacrifices as payment. After the Konoha Crush, where Orochimaru lost his arms to his old teacher, Orochimaru and Kabuto, and Jiraiya and Naruto crossed paths while searching for Tsunade, the third member of the Sannin, for their own purposes. Following a day of deliberation, the three reconvened to make their decision on the one thing the three understood to be the same; battle. As Manda was summoned to face Gamabunta and Katsuyu, both sides quickly turned on him. However, even when faced with the two greatest summons of his era, Manda easily held his own, easily forcing the slug to split into non-threatening smaller versions and evading the toad's blaze. However, he was blindsided by Tsunade, who drove the toad's massive sword through his mouth. Unable to consume his prey, much less fight, he barely groaned out a threat to Orochimaru before unsummoning himself. Not being summoned for years, Manda lived a luxurious life, or at least as luxurious as one's life can be in a sage's cave. When Sasuke had no other option to evade Deidara's C0 explosion, he summoned Manda around himself, tearing the snake from his comforts, and shortly after from his life, cursing Sasuke in the same way he had Orochimaru in his final moments. Following his death, Manda was succeeded by Aoda, and his genetic template was used as the template for Kabuto's construction of Manda II. |
