Chapter 306:
Tsunade's sudden question made Kushina's heart leap into her throat.
Afraid that Orochimaru might give an inappropriate response, she held her breath. However, Orochimaru, unfazed as always, began recounting the events in Rōran without hesitation.
As Tsunade listened, her expression shifted from confusion to shock. "Through time and space? A daughter from the future?"
"That's essentially the gist of it. If you don't believe me, I can—"
"No need!" Tsunade interrupted firmly. "The Orochimaru I know would never make up something so ridiculous to deceive me."
The two had known each other for decades. If Orochimaru ever chose to lie, he would never invent such an absurd story.
"You're quite sharp," Orochimaru said with a faint smile. "What's your take on this?"
"This isn't such a big deal. Do as you like; I don't mind having her too." Tsunade waved her hand casually, her tone relaxed.
Her attitude startled Kushina, who looked at her in disbelief.
Tsunade's calm acceptance left Kushina utterly confused.
"Tsunade-sama… what are you saying?"
Sensing Kushina's shock, Tsunade sighed, looking a bit embarrassed. "You'll understand eventually."
Kushina remained silent, her disbelief still evident.
Tsunade turned her attention back to Orochimaru. "But you owe me compensation for all of this."
"Compensation?" Orochimaru leaned back into a chair, his tone amused. "What kind of compensation are you looking for? Isn't making you Hokage enough?"
"That's not the kind of compensation I want!" Tsunade snapped.
"Not this kind? Then what kind? Could it be…" Orochimaru paused, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Do you mean resurrecting Nawaki? If so, it's already in progress. His body is still in the cultivation stage. It'll just take a little more time."
"Nawaki? Resurrection?"
Both Tsunade and Kushina froze in place, their minds struggling to process what Orochimaru had just said.
Tsunade was struck by the mention of her younger brother, while Kushina was more astounded by the concept of resurrection itself.
"Resurrection? Is that… possible?" Kushina stammered.
"Why so surprised?" Orochimaru's tone was light, but there was a faint trace of amusement in his voice. "You both know my re
"If a person's body can be recreated through cloning," she murmured, "and their soul can be summoned back from the Pure Land through reanimation…"
"…then resurrection is entirely achievable," Orochimaru concluded, his lips curling into a faint smile.
The room fell silent as the weight of his words sank in.
"This can't be real… it sounds like a fantasy," Tsunade muttered, shaking her head.
"In theory, it's entirely feasible," Orochimaru said, his tone confident. "With mature cloning technology, countless young and healthy bodies can be cultivated. The Reanimation Jutsu brings back the soul. By merging the two, true resurrection is achieved."
"And this process… could be repeated indefinitely?" Kushina asked hesitantly.
Orochimaru's smile widened. "Precisely. Eternal life is not just a dream, it's the product of combining ninjutsu and advanced scientific technology."
Tsunade was silent, her eyes fixed on the figure in the pod. "But… how do you ensure the soul and body merge perfectly? Wouldn't that be extremely difficult?"
"It is," Orochimaru admitted. "But for me, it's a challenge I've already mastered."
