In any case, that doesn't refute my point at all. I never said his mom's love was protecting him, just that his mom's spirit was inside the chakra protecting him. As far as we know, that was probably true (this being Naruto and all). Yashamaru's revelation only proves that it was protecting him to ensure his "eternal existence" and to let her grudge survive in the world.
But yeah, I guess you gotta take his words with a grain of salt. Or sand, rather.
