"If I’m not mistaken, the one Gama-Maru saved was a human with erald eyes, right?"
Katsuyu responded with a question.
"Erald-eyed human? Let think..."
Tsunade recalled Minato’s appearance; indeed, he had erald eyes, and she nodded to Katsuyu.
"Yes, Minato indeed has erald eyes."
"That’s it, then. That human is the Child of Prophecy foretold by Gama-Maru, one who can bring peace to the Ninja Realm."
"Bring peace to the Ninja Realm? Minato?"
Tsunade widened her eyes in disbelief. After all, this was a feat even her grandfather, the God of Ninja, Senju Hashirama, had not accomplished.
The peace her grandfather had created lasted only during his lifeti.
Afterward, the Ninja World Wars erupted imdiately, and now it’s the third ti. The disasters and destruction brought about by ninjas have beco more severe year by year.
In Tsunade’s view, peace seed a far-off hope.
What could a young man, not yet twenty, like Minato accomplish?
Though he was a genius, he was just a talented Jonin of Konoha; bringing world peace wasn’t such a simple task.
"Gama-Maru’s prophetic dream said as much. It even ca to and the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave for assistance if the Child of Prophecy faced difficulties. I never expected the so-called Child of Prophecy to truly appear."
If it were rely a human with erald eyes, it wouldn’t matter much, but an erald-eyed human whom the Great Toad Sage used the Sage Talisman to resurrect could have their identity reasonably confird.
Katsuyu knew that the Konoha Ninja nad ’Minato’ by Tsunade was ninety-nine percent the Child of Prophecy seen in the Great Toad Sage’s dream, destined to bring peace to the Ninja Realm.
"So, the reason the Great Toad Sage resurrected Minato was because of his identity as the Child of Prophecy?"
Tsunade asked impatiently.
"Yes, otherwise, I can’t imagine Gama-Maru going to such lengths to help a human. After all, contractors are just contractors; under normal circumstances, Summoning Beasts wouldn’t risk their lives for them."
Katsuyu said.
Clearly, Minato was special.
As the Child of Prophecy, he absolutely could not die.
"But..."
Katsuyu suddenly rembered sothing.
"But what?"
"The one who can kill the Child of Prophecy is also a terrifying figure. Tsunade-sama, if you encounter that person, it’s best to be cautious."
Katsuyu, concerned for Tsunade’s safety, advised her to avoid engaging such a dangerous individual.
"That person is now a renegade ninja from Konoha and was once one of my students at the Ninja School."
Tsunade said with a bitter smile.
"Is that so? In any case, Tsunade-sama should be careful."
"I understand. Let’s not talk about this for now; I’d like to know more about the Child of Prophecy."
Tsunade requested.
"Regarding the Child of Prophecy, I apologize, this is all I know. If Tsunade-sama is interested, you can go to the Land of Demons and seek a prophecy from the current witch."
"The witch of the Land of Demons?"
"It is the origin of the witch’s power. Won inheriting the witch’s strength possess the mysterious abilities to twist ti and space and subdue demons. In the realm of prophecy, though not as versatile as Mount Myoboku, it has its unique strengths. The witch might be able to assist you, Tsunade-sama."
Katsuyu explained.
Regarding the Child of Prophecy, it knew only this much. If Tsunade continued to investigate, either go to Mount Myoboku or seek the human witch; those were the only two paths.
"Forget it, we’re at war right now. I’ve already taken ti out to co here; going to the Land of Demons now would waste too much ti. It can wait until after the war ends; I’ll go to the Land of Demons to find the witch."
Tsunade shook her head. Although she was very concerned about Minato and the Child of Prophecy, the most important thing now was to win the war.
With the Hidden Sand and Hidden Rock attacking in unison, Konoha was under great pressure, and it wasn’t a ti for her to be at ease.
"In that case, follow your instincts, Tsunade-sama. Should you need anything, feel free to call for my help."
After saying this, Katsuyu wriggled its massive body off toward the dense fog-covered depths of the White Bone Forest.
"The Child of Prophecy? I rember during one drinking session, Jiraiya also seed to ntion this..."
Tsunade watched as Katsuyu’s figure disappeared, standing in place, frowning as she pondered.
"The Land of Demons, I’ll find a chance to visit it in the future."
Besides, she was also very interested in the erging Shion Flower Pharmaceutical Technology Company, maybe Konoha could develop further cooperation with it.

Land of Demons.
In the restricted military area of Shion City, the capital, after previous expansions, it is now divided into several departntal zones.
The office area is for etings, issuing orders, and personnel movent. The research area is split into research and manufacturing functions; one for developing new technologies, the other for assembly line production, occupying the largest area.
The dormitory area is for rest and entertainnt. The newly established school area is responsible for nurturing a new generation of ninjas, supplying fresh blood to the organization.
There’s also a special zone for combat training and weapon storage.
The places where Hakushi usually stays are the office area and the research area. From above, the office building’s shape resembles a ’口’ character with an extra gap at the bottom and a wide passageway in the middle.
