Sakumo Hatake was indeed incredulous. Jiraiya spoke with a heavy tone, "There's no other way. Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation. Without the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, we can't quell the chaos."
"But Yoruha just killed Orochimaru, avenging the Third Hokage."
Sakumo glanced at Yoruha. "Kakashi is really lucky to have trained this kid." Yoruha felt a bit embarrassed. Tsunade ruffled Yoruha's hair. "Do you even know what embarrassment is?"
Yoruha rolled his eyes at Tsunade, brushing her hand off his head. Now, Yoruha was about the same height as Tsunade.
Tsunade treated him like a child. Of course, his physical age was indeed only 12. But Yoruha's mental age was far from that of a child.
In fact, it wasn't just Sakumo Hatake; Tsunade and Jiraiya, after confirming Yoruha's identity, were also very relieved that Yoruha was a ninja of Konoha.
Moreover, he was personally promoted by the Third Hokage and was Kakashi's disciple. This connection indicated that Yoruha was part of the Hokage's lineage.
He was one of their own. It was almost certain that as long as Yoruha didn't betray Konoha or make any grave mistakes, he was practically destined to be the Sixth Hokage.
While the atmosphere among the four was harmonious, Rasa, standing aside, was not in a good mood at all.
Yoruha was very strong, with exceptional talent, which Rasa naturally knew. He was even quite envious. He wondered why such a genius wasn't from their village.
After chatting with Tsunade and Jiraiya for a while, Sakumo Hatake said, "Yoruha, you should have a way to undo the Impure World Reincarnation and let our souls return to the afterlife, right?" Yoruha nodded, "I can. I also know the Impure World Reincarnation."
"Then please release our Impure World Reincarnation and let us return to the afterlife. The dead should remain where they belong." Yoruha didn't speak, just nodded. Rasa also stepped forward, "Please, Konoha kid."
Yoruha clasped his hands together. "Impure World Reincarnation: Release." Instantly, two rune-formed chains surged from Yoruha's body, entering Rasa and Sakumo Hatake.
With a thud, both Sakumo Hatake and Rasa felt a shudder through their bodies.
The shackles of the Impure World Reincarnation on their souls were instantly unlocked. Their souls quickly regained freedom and soon disappeared from the world.
The bodies of the Impure World Reincarnation, now devoid of souls, slowly dissolved.
Watching the two bodies disintegrate, Yoruha murmured to himself, "This jutsu is quite interesting."
However, Tsunade, standing next to him, heard his words. She immediately said sternly, "Don't you dare misuse this jutsu." The Impure World Reincarnation is difficult to learn and requires a lot of preparation.
But for Yoruha, performing the Impure World Reincarnation posed no difficulty. This was precisely why Tsunade was so worried. She didn't want Yoruha to become someone who toyed with the dead.
Seeing Tsunade's serious expression, Yoruha awkwardly smiled, "I was just saying, and besides, I don't even need it."
He had indeed considered trying it out just now. But on second thought, he decided against it.
He didn't need this jutsu. The jutsu was originally created by Tobirama Senju to be used in conjunction with the Tandem Explosive Tags. Both jutsus are forbidden techniques.
Yoruha also knew the Tandem Explosive Tags.
However, these two types of jutsu were of no use to him. Tsunade was extremely satisfied with Yoruha, a junior she was immensely proud of, and she didn't want him to follow in Orochimaru's footsteps.
She hoped that Yoruha would take over her position in the future.
There was no way she would allow Yoruha to fall into depravity. Jiraiya remained silent on the side.
After a long while, he finally looked up, staring at Yoruha with a face full of shock, "Yoruha, I've been thinking, you've mastered quite a few forbidden jutsu, and they're all the kind that are difficult for ordinary people to grasp."
"Edo Tensei, Flying Thunder God Technique, and various sealing techniques. When exactly did you learn these jutsu?" "Each of these jutsu takes years to master, and most people can't even learn them at all."
Yoruha thought for a moment and said something that made Jiraiya want to hit him. "I also spent a long time learning them." Jiraiya looked at Yoruha, speechless.
Tsunade felt the same. "How old are you, exactly? Did you start learning as soon as you were born?" "Edo Tensei isn't easy to learn; it requires a lot of theoretical knowledge."
Yoruha awkwardly said, "Maybe I'm just lucky. I feel like Edo Tensei isn't that hard to learn." Tsunade shook her head, "Your talent is even more outrageous than my grandfather's." "Do you know who my grandfather is?"
Yoruha nodded, "The First Hokage." Tsunade continued, "That's right. At your age, he definitely wasn't as powerful as you. In fact, most ninjas at your age aren't as powerful as you." "If you had been in the village when Orochimaru attacked... never mind, let's not talk about it."
Tsunade stopped herself from continuing about the Third Hokage. It would seem like she was blaming Yoruha. After all, the Third's death had nothing to do with Yoruha.
But if Yoruha had been in Konoha, the Third wouldn't have had to die. Yoruha would surely have stepped in to help.
Who knows if the Third foresaw trouble during the Chunin Exams and sent Yoruha on a mission in advance.
Others might have opinions about the Third, but he treated Yoruha very well. Even if it was because of Yoruha's exceptional talent, he valued Yoruha highly and never used political means against him.
Jiraiya didn't bring it up either. He said, "Let's go check on Naruto. He's badly injured." Yoruha nodded.
In the next moment, he disappeared in front of Tsunade and Jiraiya. Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a glance and shook their heads. "Is that really the Flying Thunder God Technique he's using?"
"It seems like he doesn't need to mark coordinates." Tsunade shrugged, "Who knows if this kid has modified the Flying Thunder God Technique. If he can modify Edo Tensei, he can probably modify the Flying Thunder God Technique too." Jiraiya was taken aback.
Jiraiya didn't know as much about Edo Tensei as Tsunade did. Tsunade explained, "Edo Tensei can only be undone by the caster or the one being controlled, but Yoruha wasn't either, and yet he undid it." "Even Orochimaru probably couldn't do that."
Tsunade sighed. Jiraiya also sighed, "He actually killed Orochimaru, such a powerful Orochimaru, yet he was so easily defeated by him." "This kid already has the strength to stand on his own."
"The Third was right; he didn't overestimate that kid at all, and might have even underestimated him." Tsunade looked into the distance,
"With him around, at least Konoha won't face any major threats while it regains its strength." "His current power might even surpass the two of us combined."
Jiraiya laughed, "Naturally, even if I enter Sage Mode, I'm no match for him."
"And with a Three-Tails that listens to him, the two of us together really aren't his match."
"But that's a good thing. We, the older generation, should be paving the way for the young."
