Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

The two figures arrived at the Hokage's office.

At this moment, the small office was already packed with people.

The three legendary ninjas, White Fang, Minato, Danzo, and two other members of the elder council.

Even the rope tree is here.

The Third Hokage cleared his throat and said, "I believe you have all heard about the recent situation. Since the Third Kazekage disappeared and the Fourth Kazekage declared war on our Konoha, the other three great nations have also started to clash and are now fighting each other. However, they seem to be forming an alliance and want to attack our Land of Fire."

The Third Hokage's gaze swept over these people, and Nawaki spoke first: "If you want to fight, then fight! Let the ninja world witness my Wood Release!"

Danzo's eyes showed satisfaction; Nawaki's thoughts coincided with his own!

"Nawaki is right. With Konoha's current strength, what if the other four great nations unite? We will wipe them out!"

The Third Hokage remained silent, his gaze fixed on Minato and Orochimaru.

Compared to Nawaki and Danzo, two simpletons with little political sense, the Third Hokage valued the ideas of Orochimaru and Minato, two geniuses, more.

Orochimaru simply closed his eyes; whether they fought or not, he wouldn't intervene.

Instead of wasting time, it would be better to focus on scientific research and strive for longevity.

Minato said, "I think we should invite the other four Kage to talk. If we really can't reach an agreement, then it's not too late to fight."

A very conservative political tactic.

However, the third generation looked satisfied.

This is the result he wants.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately understood.

"I wonder what Minato is thinking..."

Aside from Nawaki, however, he didn't say it aloud because it was Minato's suggestion, and as a friend, he wouldn't go against Minato at this time.

“Alright, I will initiate the Five Kage Summit. Minato, you will come with me.”

"Yes! Hokage-sama!"

On the way back, Nawaki asked Minato, puzzled, "Minato, why didn't we just fight them? They were the ones who provoked us first!"

Minato glanced at Nawaki but did not offer any explanation.

Zhang Shan rested his head on his arms and didn't take the matter to heart.

With Konoha's current strength, Nawaki alone could easily sweep through the other four countries.

Don't forget the fate of Loulan.

Seeing that neither of them was paying attention to him, Rope Tree turned to his older sister and said, "Sis! You support going to war too, right?"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Tsunade said decisively.

After finally getting a few years of rest, he still has to dominate the casinos, where would he find the time to fight a war?

Besides, now that Nawaki and the others have grown up, even if a war really breaks out, I won't have to go to the front lines anymore, right?

"Perhaps I should take on a disciple and pass on my medical skills to them, so I can use them freely from then on!" Tsunade thought to herself.

Back home, Minato's expression was grave.

Kushina sat next to Minato, leaning on his shoulder.

"What's wrong? You seem down as soon as you get back?"

"The Third Hokage's policies were too conservative; he didn't have a clear understanding of Konoha's military strength," Minato said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Kushina looked at her husband in surprise; this was the first time she had ever seen Minato like this.

"Now, Konoha's fighting strength completely overwhelms the other four major powers, not to mention the smaller countries. We can now completely replicate the glory days of the First Hokage's era," Minato said.

"The golden age of the First Hokage's era." Kushina couldn't help but recall the things her grandmother Mito had told her.

Back then, even though Hashirama spent all his time in casinos dominating the market, the other major powers remained obediently in their own territories, not daring to make any big moves.

"Yes, the first generation of Kage were all working hard for peace." Minato was a little angry. He thought about how his predecessors had established the village for peace, but now the village had become an even bigger war machine.

"Perhaps, we ninjas shouldn't obey the daimyo." A new thought came to Minato's mind.

However, this idea was somewhat ahead of its time and completely contradicted the deeply ingrained beliefs that had been instilled in Minato over the years.

This is a clash of ideas, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to accept such ideas.

The following day, Minato left Konoha with the Third Hokage and a squad of Anbu members to go to the Land of Iron for peace talks.

On the way, only Minato and the Third Generation were visible.

The two leaped through the jungle, and after they were some distance from Konoha, the Third Hokage suddenly spoke up: "Minato, do you think I was too weak this time?"

Minato was taken aback, not expecting the Third Hokage to bring up this topic with him.

He nodded and said, "Lord Hokage, our current strength far surpasses that of the other countries, so why should we stand on the same level as them?"

The third generation chuckled, "Standing on the same level? Is that really what you think?"

The mystery surrounding the water gate.

"Hahaha! Minato, you're still too young. Our Konoha has never been on the same level as them!" The Third Hokage laughed loudly. "Faced with an opponent of equal strength, would you team up with three others of equal strength before daring to challenge him?"

Minato's pupils contracted instantly; he understood the Third Hokage's thoughts.

"From the moment they united, we had already won."

Then, Minato was speechless. He felt that the Third Hokage's thinking was still problematic.

“Lord Hokage, with our current strength, there’s no need for us to play this childish game with them,” Minato said.

"I know you are all very powerful, but if we really want to flex our muscles, the simplest way is to destroy a country. But do you know how many people would die in a war of national annihilation?" the Third Hokage said seriously.

“People will die, but not from Konoha,” Minato replied.

"Sigh..." The Third Hokage sighed. He knew Minato's thoughts. They were radical, but from the village's perspective, Minato was right.

"Well, you can think about that yourself later~" the Third Hokage thought to himself, "Anyway, after this, I should retire."

At this moment, in Konoha.

Zhang Shan's home.

"So, you're going into seclusion for many years?" Xiao Guang frowned, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Xiao Nan, who was next to her, also pouted, looking very unhappy.

They were both eighteen or nineteen years old, full of passion. Now Zhang Shan said he was going to go into seclusion for more than ten years. How could the two girls accept this?

Zhang Shan scratched his head, understanding what they meant, and laughed, "Don't be like that. I know you have grudges, but this time it's really..."

Looking at the two women's faces, Zhang Shan admitted that he was also reluctant to part with them.

After taking a few deep breaths, a brilliant idea flashed into Zhang Shan's mind!

"Have it!"

Meanwhile, in the world of super beasts.

The seventh parallel universe.

Nearly 30,000 years have passed since the connection between the seven universes was severed.

Xuehuang sat quietly on her bed in her palace. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt about what Zhang Shan had said before.

"What was the final outcome of that battle?" Xuehuang frowned slightly.

After searching the planet, no trace of Zhang Shan's unusual energy was found.

"That guy's off to play in some universe again..."

If the alien energy is strong enough, it is possible to forcibly travel between several parallel universes.

Zhang Shan's current alien energy already contains dozens of black holes, making it easy for him to travel through parallel universes.

In the years that followed, Xuehuang became increasingly impatient.

"Where on earth did that guy go? He hasn't returned to the Seventh Parallel Universe for almost ten years."

The usually gentle and quiet Xuehuang became somewhat impatient, which panicked Guigu.

He had been scheming for so many years because he had a firm grasp on Xuehuang's personality.

If Xuehuang's personality changes, then all my plans will be in vain.

"Snow Queen... Have you encountered anything unpleasant lately?" Guigu asked cautiously, following behind Snow Queen.

"Unhappy things?" Xuehuang frowned slightly: "Guigu, just do your own thing and don't worry about me."

Guigu immediately bowed his head: "Yes, Your Majesty the Snow Queen!"

Watching the departing Snow Queen, Guigu was furious.

If we weren't outmatched...

At this moment, Zhang Shan was cultivating atop a snow-capped mountain in the first parallel universe.

Xuan Yizi trembled and dared not speak loudly.

At this moment, Zhang Shan split his soul in two and created millions of clones, all of which focused on cultivation.

In this context, Zhang Shan successfully opened up his own world of the heart in just ten years.

Boom!

It felt like the world had restarted, or perhaps the Big Bang had occurred.

At this moment, Zhang Shan saw a scene of chaos.

This is a newly created world; there's nothing there yet.

Next, Zhang Shan's heart stirred, and a series of laws emerged in this world.

Next, the earth and forests appeared, followed by water and rivers.

In a mere instant, the chaotic world transformed into a sacred land of immortals with mountains and water.

At the same time, Zhang Shan felt his strength rapidly increasing. In the blink of an eye, his power could no longer be measured by the scale of a black hole!

Having opened up the world of the heart and officially become a cultivator of mental power, in addition to the improvement in strength, he also gained a kind of enlightenment.
