Terror! Orochimaru's mansion (Japanese: 恐怖！大蛇丸の館 - Kyōfu! Orochimaru no tachi) is episode 139 of the anime series Naruto.
[edit] Plot
Jiraiya shares his knowledge with the rest of the group from Hanzaki. After comparing Sasame's comments and behavior with what the rest of the Fuma Clan had told him, he realizes that Sasame is connected with Orochimaru. After this is revealed, Sasame tries to kill herself, but Jiraiya rushes at her and knocks the kunai out of her hand, calling her a fool. Jiraiya tells them that the rules of a ninja are strict but Naruto tries to risk himself for Sasame and Sakura does the same. Jiraiya decides that Sasame should guide the team to Orochimaru's hideout, then return to town and reunite with the rest of her clan. Naruto says that he changed his opinion about Jiraiya; Sakura is grateful to him for not doing anything worse but Jiraiya blushes and says that it's nothing, that Hanzaki treated him well and that he told Jiraiya to watch over Sasame. Naruto and Sakura rush him and Naruto says that he regrets changing their opinion of Jiraiya.
After arriving at the hideout, Sasame asks Team Jiraiya to take care of her cousin. Jiraiya summons Gamakichi, and asks him to scout the entrance. Sakura is somewhat taken aback; she doesn't like frogs or toads, and says frogs are gross, and is surprised by a toad that can speak. Sasame watches them from a distance and prays that they are successful. With Gamakichi's help, the team carefuly searches the hideout until they reach a fork with 3 turns. Naruto using his instincts says it's the center road but Jiraiya tells them that in these kind of times they have to be cautious. Jiraiya grabs a pole from his belt and spins in it the air and slams it into the ground. The pole falls to the right and Jiraiya says that that's where he will go. They get in his face and Naruto screams, "How is that different from my instincts, Ero-sennin?!" Eventually, they decide to split up, with Jiraiya going right, Naruto & Sakura the middle, and Gamakichi going left. Jiraiya warns them and says that they could be going to hell. Naruto and Sakura finally put on their headbands, and the team moves out.
Jiraiya encounters a beautiful woman playing an instument. She says that if he suspects that she is a fox or a racoon, he can check to see what type of tail she has. Naruto and Sakura run into booby traps. The first trap consists of a barrage of Kunais and then several spiked metal grates that descend like knives. From the shadows, it seems that Naruto has been killed, but as more lights come on, it becomes evident that Naruto is merely stuck behind a bamboo grate. Naruto moans for Sakura to help him and she helps him out of the grate. Sakura prepares to go ahead, but after taking a few steps a pitfall with a spiked bottom opens up beneath her. Naruto manages to grab onto her before she falls and swings her up, but then falls in himself. Immediately after this happens, the pitfall closes and a wall descends, preventing Sakura from retrieving Naruto and forcing the two to split up.
Jiraiya finds himself in a struggle for his life when he drinks some tea. Jiraiya aks her what she has in store for him. Jiraiya asks her if she is trying to cast something on him but the girl responds that it is just a funeral song, just for him. The girl's hair instantly turns long and wraps around Jiraiya. She says that she will send Jiraiya to the next world, just as the ceiling falls on them. Meanwhile, the spiked pit that Naruto has fallen into floods with water, but Naruto manages to catch onto a spike. Gakamachi appears in the water saying that he went with the flow. Sakura goes on alone, and finds a large room lit with torches and filled with high columns. She meets Kabuto, and asks him about Sasuke. He retorts that she ought to be worried about Naruto and Jiraiya. Sakura says her two companions are not easy to kill, but Kabuto continues to taunt her. Kabuto comments on how Naruto and Jiraiya are possibly not in this world anymore then mentions on how Sakura always slows Naruto down. All of these taunts strike at the core of her insecurities. Sakura tries to escape to check on Naruto but is stopped when a barrage of shuriken hit the ground right in front of her.
Sakura and Kabuto fight, and Kabuto says he will end it quickly since Orochimaru is waiting for him. Sakura flashes back to her (and Sasuke's) encounter with Orochimaru in the Forest of Death, and his powerful genjutsu that made two genin see themselves under attack, splattered with blood, and being separated, forever. Sakura says she is different from how she was back then, but has to eat her words when she is confronted by Orochimaru himself! Sakura drops her kunai and Orochimaru says that it's finished as he comes out of the darkness. The episode ends as he laughs and tears spill down Sakura's cheeks.
