Though the Immortal Essence Breath-of-Life Fruit was precious, Yechen still valued human life more.
The moment Kushina Uzumaki swallowed the Immortal Essence Breath-of-Life Fruit, the damage left by the seal inside her healed instantly. Even her very life underwent an evolution.
Bathed in immortal essence, Kushina Uzumaki looked like a fairy descended to earth. Her aura steadily rose, and her strength shot from Jonin to Kage Level in an instant.
That was not even the most important part. Her physique was developing in an astonishing direction.
It meant that, unless she suffered exceptionally severe damage, Kushina Uzumaki could recover from her injuries rapidly.
"Divine Lord, I think you got the short end of this deal."
Seeing the effect it had on Kushina Uzumaki, Orochimaru spoke with envy.
Yechen nodded slightly. It did seem like a bit of a loss. He had not expected Kushina Uzumaki to change so dramatically after consuming the Immortal Essence Breath-of-Life Fruit.
But it was too late to back out now. He might as well be generous and keep up appearances.
"What loss? If it saves a life, it's no loss."
"Yes, you're right, Divine Lord. It's no loss," Orochimaru agreed.
Hearing this, Jiraiya nearly laughed aloud. Still, his opinion of Yechen had changed. His willingness to give up such a treasure was proof enough of his sincerity.
Naturally, no one was happier than Minato Namikaze. He could clearly sense that Kushina Uzumaki's injuries had healed and that she had undergone significant changes as well. Everything was changing for the better.
"Kushina!"
Seeing her wake up, Minato Namikaze immediately rushed over and hugged her.
The two began acting lovey-dovey right in front of everyone. To their astonishment, however, the scene did not last long before Kushina Uzumaki sent Minato Namikaze flying with a punch.
