Tsunade asked, "Did you discover this from Sasuke's curse mark?" Yoruha nodded, "Actually, a few days ago, I wanted to help Sasuke control his curse mark, and that's when I discovered that Orochimaru's soul was sealed within it."
"I took a risk and unsealed his soul at that time."
Both Orochimaru and Tsunade were taken aback. "You unsealed it?"
Yoruha nodded again. "Because if Orochimaru's soul remained sealed within Sasuke, there's a possibility that Orochimaru could take over Sasuke's body in the future." The two understood, but Yoruha's actions were indeed very risky.
"Did Orochimaru come back to life?" They both looked at Yoruha with concern. Yoruha nodded.
"Not only did he come back to life, but he also displayed even greater power than when he was defeated."
"Upon revival, he transformed into an eight-headed serpent, a giant snake tens of meters in size." The two were shocked, but soon they both realized something.
"Wait a minute, there haven't been any attacks in the village recently. If there was a giant snake that size, it wouldn't have gone unnoticed." They both turned to Yoruha.
Yoruha thought for a moment and said, "I developed a new jutsu, a space-time ninjutsu, which allows me to create a small dimension. We dealt with Orochimaru in that alternate space."
"An alternate space?!" They looked at Yoruha as if he were a monster. Creating an alternate space was something beyond human capability.
At least in their understanding, not even top-tier ninjas could achieve such an outrageous feat. If they didn't know Yoruha well, they would have thought he was making up stories. Yoruha explained, "By creating an alternate space, events that occur there don't affect this world."
"So if Orochimaru can be resurrected through Sasuke, he can be resurrected through others as well. Orochimaru wouldn't have only placed curse marks on Sasuke, right?" At this point, Tsunade and Jiraiya were no longer interested in Orochimaru's resurrection.
After all, Yoruha could easily defeat him twice, so it didn't matter how many times he came back.
They were more astonished that Yoruha had developed a space-time ninjutsu, a power akin to that of a deity. Compared to that, Orochimaru's resurrection seemed trivial.
"Yoruha, sometimes I wonder if you're a reincarnated god," Tsunade mused. "Otherwise, how could you possess such extraordinary abilities?"
Jiraiya added, "I now believe you are the prophesied child, the one destined to save the world. You have the power to do so." Jiraiya had spent decades traveling the world in search of the prophesied child.
Now, he felt certain that Yoruha was indeed the prophesied child. He couldn't imagine, if Yoruha wasn't the one, how powerful the true prophesied child would have to be. Could the real prophesied child be even stronger than Yoruha?
Only a true deity could surpass that, perhaps. Of course, Tsunade didn't think that way, having seen Hashirama. Although Hashirama's power wasn't as mysterious as Yoruha's, it was still incredibly strong.
That's why he was revered as the God of Shinobi.
It's entirely possible, or rather, highly likely that she could become a strong figure like her grandfather—a god standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world.
Listening to Jiraiya's words, Yoruha felt a bit speechless and said, "What Child of Prophecy? Lord Jiraiya, are you believing in rumors again?"
Of course, Yoruha knew what the Child of Prophecy was and who it referred to. But he wasn't supposed to show that he knew. Seeing Yoruha's disbelief, Jiraiya explained what the Child of Prophecy was and shared the prophecy told to him by the Toad Sage.
Yoruha frowned, "This kind of thing is too vague and uncertain. What if it's wrong?" Jiraiya shook his head, "Absolutely not. The Toad Sage's prophecies have never been wrong. I can't think of anyone other than you who could be the Child of Prophecy."
"I can't imagine a ninja in the world stronger than you." Yoruha really wanted to tell Jiraiya that the Child of Prophecy he was searching for was actually Naruto. But saying that would be very suspicious.
So Yoruha held back and didn't tell Jiraiya. "Shouldn't you both be more concerned about Orochimaru's potential resurrection?" Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a smile, "Didn't you say you could handle it?"
Yoruha was taken aback, "When did I say that?" Tsunade replied, "You killed Orochimaru the first time, and after he resurrected, you defeated him again, seemingly without much effort. It shows that Orochimaru is no longer a threat to you. As long as you're here, what threat does Orochimaru pose?"
"Instead, I'm more interested in the fact that you've actually developed a new space-time ninjutsu." "If you hadn't said it yourself, I wouldn't have believed it." Jiraiya laughed, "I think the same. Just learning space-time ninjutsu is incredibly difficult, let alone developing a new one."
"Even the Fourth Hokage, such a perfect ninja, didn't make many changes to the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"With space-time ninjutsu, if you make one wrong move, you basically don't get a second chance to use it." Yoruha was also a bit speechless that these two weren't concerned about Orochimaru's resurrection.
In truth, Yoruha didn't know that if it were the past, knowing Orochimaru had the ability to resurrect, the two would definitely be worried.
But now, with Yoruha around, they didn't feel that a resurrected Orochimaru posed any threat to Konoha. Seeing how indifferent they were to Orochimaru's resurrection, Yoruha suddenly wondered if he was being too talkative.
Originally, Yoruha intended to remind them of Orochimaru's threat, but they didn't seem to take it seriously.
Since becoming Tsunade's bodyguard, Yoruha rarely went on missions. He mostly stayed by Tsunade's side, watching over her or, rather, guarding her.
But since she rarely left the village, what danger could there be? So Yoruha was particularly idle every day, with nothing to do. Tsunade wasn't a workaholic either; she often lazed around in the office and even slept there many times.
Being her bodyguard was indeed very relaxed. Yoruha quite enjoyed this lifestyle. On the rooftops of Konoha Village, after becoming Tsunade's bodyguard, Yoruha liked to stay there.
From there, he could overlook the entire Konoha Village. The residential area of Konoha wasn't very large, about a kilometer in diameter, forming a circular village.
Most of the main personnel of Konoha lived there. The training grounds were mostly outside the residential area.
Naturally, there were people living outside the residential area too, but the population density wasn't as high.
Leaning against the rooftop railing, Yoruha looked at Jiraiya, who was using binoculars to peep at women bathing in the village.
He was speechless, "Lord Jiraiya, you're one of the Legendary Sannin. Aren't you worried about ruining your reputation if you get caught?"
