Finally, we begin the fight between the 3 sannins! Unfortunately, Tsunade is basically sitting on the sidelines at the moment in fright of all the bloodshed that Kabuto brought upon himself. Orochimaru and Kabuto get the upper hand at first as they summon 2 large snakes. Jiraiya attempts to even the odds by summoning a large frog of his own; however, as you can see in the caps, he fails humorously 
Naruto, frustrated at seeing Jiraiya still affected by the poison, attempts to summon a frog on his own, but with similar hilarious results 
Orochimaru and Kabuto start the battle, with Orochimaru going after Jiraiya and Kabuto going after Shizune and Naruto. Orochimaru and Jiraiya, both handicapped, seem to fight pretty much to a draw, so they start taking potshots at each other’s talent-evaulating abilities. Orochimaru insists that the more jutsu’s you know, the better ninja you are, while Jiraiya believes it’s the ninja’s ability to believe in him/herself that makes the ultimate ninja.
Meanwhile, Shizune get pwned pretty badly by Kabuto despite her best efforts. Afterwards, Kabuto does some trash talking against Naruto how he should be afraid and run away since Kabuto believes that he’ll dispose of Naruto easily. Of course, Naruto isn’t one to back away, and our number one ninja of surprise pulls out another trick out of his hat!
One more thing: I’m trying out these animated gifs, so give your feedback on whether you like them, or any other comments to improve them!

OMFGBBQ what is up with these animated gifs?!
Whoa, the animated GIFs are pretty keen — it’s neat to see the sequences in action (especially the last one where Naruto does Rasengen)!
By the way, what program are you using to make these?
Kungfucius is such a showoff! Don’t be swayed by his animated gif no jutsu!
*goes into a slack-jawed drooling trance*
too late
The program I’m using to make these is called gifmerge, which is an open source Unix program that someone wrote to combine various gif files into an animated one. Just search for “gifmerge” in Google, and if you have some sort of Unix machine (like my iBook
) you can get started with making animated gifs!
