After Yoruha left, the overwhelming pressure in the cave finally dissipated. Obito felt a sense of relief, thankful that Yoruha hadn't exposed his identity. He wasn't sure if Yoruha knew who he really was, but Obito had a feeling that Yoruha was aware of his true identity and chose not to reveal it for some unknown reason. Orochimaru glanced at Obito, having lost much of his anticipation for the legendary power Obito had spoken of.
Even with the Rinnegan, Obito showed such behavior, unable to muster even a hint of resistance in front of Yoruha. How much confidence could they really have in that elusive legendary power to suppress Yoruha? Itachi Uchiha, on the other hand, was curious about Yoruha's relationship with Konoha and Sasuke.
Meanwhile, Yoruha had brought Killer B and Yugito Nii back to the Hidden Cloud Village, directly to A's office. A, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window deep in thought, suddenly sensed something.
Turning around, he exclaimed, "B? Yugito? How did you both return so quickly?"
A was stunned, seeing his brother whom he had been worried about. Killer B and Yugito Nii were equally bewildered. Just moments ago, they were in a cave, and now they suddenly appeared in A's office.
Killer B and Yugito Nii looked at Yoruha with shock in their eyes. Someone capable of such a feat could only be the mysterious Yoruha. A walked over, laughing, "Hahaha, B, it's so good to see you're alright."
Regardless of how Killer B was rescued, A was overjoyed. Due to Gaara from the Hidden Sand Village, A had feared that Killer B would have the Eight-Tails extracted by the Akatsuki. Despite Samui's previous accounts of Yoruha's strength, A had been skeptical without witnessing it firsthand. But now, regardless of Yoruha's strength, the fact that Killer B was rescued was undeniable. Killer B looked at Yoruha and asked, "Yoruha, how did you manage to bring both of us here at the same time?"
Yugito Nii also looked at Yoruha with curiosity. Even A, who had come over to join the conversation, was momentarily ignored. A then explained on Yoruha's behalf, "He uses the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Killer B suddenly understood, "So that's it, you actually know the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique." Although Yugito Nii had never faced the Fourth Hokage, she was aware of his reputation. Known as the Yellow Flash of the Ninja World, he had also fought against A and Killer B, making him a well-documented figure in the Hidden Cloud Village.
A looked at Yoruha and said, "Yoruha, you actually managed to rescue them. It seems I underestimated your abilities before." Yoruha waved his hand and replied, "No need for formalities, A. After all, this matter is related to us in Konoha." Killer B added, "Big brother, you have no idea. As soon as Yoruha appeared, he instantly healed both my and Yugito's injuries and scared Orochimaru and the leader of the Akatsuki so much that they didn't dare make a move against him."
"And Orochimaru said that Yoruha had previously fought the First Hokage and even suppressed him. It's truly incredible."
Everyone had overheard the conversation between Yoruha, Obito and Orochimaru, which piqued their curiosity about Yoruha's strength. Regardless, since Yoruha managed to scare Orochimaru to such an extent, it seemed Orochimaru wasn't wrong. Yoruha could indeed suppress the First Hokage, and it appeared that not just the First, but all four Hokage were no match for Yoruha.
The thought of a single First Hokage was already despair-inducing, let alone imagining all four Hokage attacking simultaneously. Could the Hidden Cloud Village even withstand such an assault? It seemed a single First Hokage would be enough to destroy the village. Why would they need all four?
This realization was even more terrifying. A looked at Yoruha and asked, "Yoruha, with such immense power, why have we never heard of you before? With your strength, you should be even stronger than Sasuke, right? Yet, the one renowned in the ninja world is Sasuke. If it weren't for you dealing with the demon from the Land of Demons last time, I wouldn't even have remembered you."
Yoruha simply replied, "Because I'm a guard for the Hokage, so I don't usually go out on missions." A sighed, "It's a pity Tsunade keeps someone as powerful as you in the village." A thought to himself, if only his own guards were as strong as Yoruha.
The might of the First Hokage had shown him the difference between humans and gods, but if Yoruha could suppress the First, didn't that mean Yoruha possessed god-like power too? It was hard to believe that Konoha had grown so strong. Previously, he thought the appearance of Sasuke in Konoha was a stroke of great fortune for the village.
Even though A had never fought Sasuke, he could guess that Sasuke's strength far surpassed his own. Especially with the legendary power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, which was said to rival the power of Wood Release. However, after experiencing the overwhelming power of Wood Release firsthand, A thought it might be exaggerated; the Mangekyō Sharingan's power might not be as strong as Wood Release.
Yet, Yoruha, without any bloodline limit, could suppress the First Hokage who mastered Wood Release. A had always wondered how Yoruha managed to do that. After a brief conversation with A and Killer B, Yoruha was about to leave when Yugito Nii, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "Yoruha, you saved me. I'd like to thank you. How about I treat you to a meal?"
Yoruha was momentarily taken aback, unsure of Yugito Nii's intentions. However, since it was a free meal and a beautiful woman was inviting him, and he had nothing else to do, how could Yoruha refuse?
He smiled and said, "No need to be so formal, but I would indeed like to try the cuisine of the Hidden Cloud Village." A and Killer B exchanged a glance, a mysterious look in their eyes. A chuckled, "Indeed, Yoruha deserves a proper thank you, but I have many matters to attend to. Otherwise, I would have hosted a banquet for you. Let Yugito entertain you on my behalf."
Killer B nodded, "I need to reassure my disciples. Yugito, make sure to treat Yoruha well; he's our savior." Yugito Nii understood why A and Killer B were acting this way. However, she didn't show any sign of embarrassment.
Instead, she remained particularly calm, as if she hadn't caught the underlying meaning of their words. Yoruha's mouth twitched slightly, but seeing Yugito Nii's calm demeanor, he smiled and said, "Then I'll be in your care."
