Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

It took them a day for both groups to return to Konoha.

"Minato!!" As soon as Nawaki saw Minato, he rushed over and howled!

Minato dodged Nawaki's lunge in a flash and laughed, "Nawaki, your voice is still as good as ever."

Nawaki wasn't embarrassed at all, and excitedly said to Minato, "Minato, you've done a great job this time!"

"You also captured Fengying alive, that's quite an achievement!"

The two chatted and laughed as they followed the Third Hokage into the Hokage Building.

Meanwhile, Zhang Shan had already returned home and was introducing the new member to his family!

Hikaru and Konan already knew about Yecang's existence, so they weren't too surprised. Yecang, on the other hand, seemed a little flustered when he saw the two beauties in front of him.

"Hello, sisters..." Ye Cang said, her head bowed and her tone stiff.

Hikaru and Minami exchanged a glance, reached out, and pulled Yecang up, leading him into a room amidst his exclamation.

Zhang Shan instantly understood the two ladies' thoughts, and immediately transformed into a hungry wolf, following after them!

While Zhang Shan was helping Ye Cang integrate into the family at home, Hiruzen Sarutobi also revealed his decision in the Hokage Building.

"From this day forward, Minato will be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!"

Chapter 274 The Fourth Hokage's Tough Measures

"I disagree!" The Uchiha clan head firmly objected: "Minato is not even twenty years old yet, becoming Hokage now is far too young! If the Third Hokage really wants to retire, I recommend Senju Nawaki as the next Hokage!"

"Excellent! Nawaki awakened the power of Wood Release and even captured the Fourth Kazekage. We all agree that he deserves to become the Fourth Hokage!"

Seeing the expressions on the faces of these small clan leaders, Hiruzen Sarutobi already knew what was going on. He tapped his pipe on the table a few times to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "I know what you're thinking, but I've already decided on the Fourth Hokage. It's Minato, and that can't be changed."

Faced with the Third Hokage's tough stance, the team led by Uchiha who supported Nawaki all looked grim.

However, the Uchiha clan was powerless and could only voice their protests in the face of the Hokage's dominance!

Nawaki looked at the group of Uchiha with a puzzled expression, wondering why they wanted him to be Hokage.

Although he also wanted to become Hokage, his rival was Minato!

Having known each other for so many years, he knew all too well how outstanding Minato was, whether in terms of strength or intelligence; Minato was superior to him.

Immediately, Nawaki stepped forward and said, "I also agree that Minato should become the Fourth Hokage!"

With the parties involved saying this, the Uchiha's expressions became even more unpleasant.

He stared at the rope tree with wide eyes, filled with hatred.

"This kid didn't even struggle! You're a descendant of the Senju, on par with the Uchiha! And you even awakened Wood Release! How can you be so spineless!"

Rope Tree didn't care about his thoughts. It was just Wood Release. Zhang Shan had already developed the corresponding serum. One injection, and Wood Release was activated! You deserve it!

Aside from the Uchiha clan protesting, other major clans, including the Hyuga, Ino-Cho-Shika clans, all supported the Third Hokage's decision. They would always stand by the Hokage and would listen to whoever became Hokage!

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction, pleased with everyone's performance.

Although the Uchiha clan is known for its troublemakers, they are not wrong; Nawaki is indeed a strong contender for the Hokage position this time.

If Nawaki hadn't given up himself, he would have been in a real predicament.

We can't just let these two fight, can we?

With Hiruzen Sarutobi slamming his fist on the table, the matter was settled.

"By the way, what should we do with the Fourth Kazekage?" Danzo suddenly asked.

"That... we can hand it over to Minato in a couple of days," the Third Hokage said with a smile.

In the following days, news of Minato becoming the Fourth Hokage quickly spread throughout Konoha.

For ordinary people, this is also a happy event, because Shuimen has a good reputation in the village and no one has any resistance to him.

However, Minato is still too young, and there are indeed people gossiping about him behind his back.

After the Zhang family closed their doors for a few days, they came out and learned that Minato's succession ceremony was over and they were now preparing to deal with the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

In the Hokage's office, Minato was on his first day in office, but he was already quite familiar with the job.

After all, several years ago, when Minato was only fifteen years old, the Third Hokage took him under his wing and had him start handling some official duties.

Therefore, these tasks were all very simple for Watergate.

"Initiate the Five Shadows Summit. For the countries that don't come this time, I will personally visit their villages."

The news spread quickly, but both Iwagakure and Kirigakure remained quiet this time. They weren't fools; they knew this was Minato's final clearance document, and if they didn't know their place, the other party wouldn't be so accommodating.

The meeting was to be held on an island in the middle of a lake on the east side of Konoha.

This lake was accidentally created by Zhang Shan during his cultivation. He originally planned for his family to live on the island in the middle of the lake, but Xiao Guang didn't like the atmosphere, so he had to give up his little plan.

This place has been empty for several years now, so it's perfect for the water gate to be used to receive foreign guests.

"What? That island?"

Looking at the entrance, Zhang Shan was puzzled. He had recently set up a barrier to completely isolate himself from the outside world and had no idea about the decision the entrance had made.

“That’s how it is…” Minato told Zhang Shan about the recent events.

Zhang Shan nodded: "Yeah, that's true. Those trash are really giving themselves a hard time by calling themselves the Five Great Nations!"

With his friend's approval, Minato became even more motivated and asked again, "So, I'll use your island in the middle of the lake!"

"Okay, anyway, that place hasn't been of much use for the last ten years or so." Zhang Shan waved his hand, not caring about the matter.

"The last ten years or so?" Minato asked, puzzled.

"I plan to turn that place into a water park or something in the future," Zhang Shan explained.

Minato chuckled wryly, "You rascal, only entertainment can lift your spirits."

"Sigh~ This is the loneliness of being invincible~" Zhang Shan said helplessly. Becoming so strong wasn't his choice; it was all because his counterparts from other worlds were too awesome~

He's basically winning by doing nothing!

The next day, Zhang Shan learned from Nawaki that the Tsuchikage and Mizukage had arrived in Konoha.

"So fast? Looks like these guys aren't completely obsessed with money after all," Zhang Shan laughed.

"Yeah, Minato wouldn't let me come along, saying he could handle it himself... Really, if the Hokage has to solve everything himself, wouldn't that make us subordinates look useless?"

"A new broom sweeps clean, so of course he has to show off his strength to the outside world," Zhang Shan said.

Meanwhile, at the water gate...

"The era of the Five Kage is over. From today onwards, there is only one great power in the world: Konoha. I don't think the four of you have any objections, do you?" Minato's cold gaze swept over the people in front of him, instantly chilling them to the bone!

"What's going on! I was just swept by his gaze, and a sense of powerlessness rose in my heart! Just like the feeling I had when facing that man!" Onoki was sweating profusely, looking at Minato with a look of surprise and uncertainty. It was hard to imagine that the boy in front of him would remind him of that monster, Uchiha Madara!

"Could it be that Konoha has really produced another shinobi on par with Hashirama Senju?"

At this point, the Kazekage and Mizukage were performing worse than Onoki.

Having witnessed the power of a true god, Onoki quickly forced himself to accept Minato's strength.

The two of them completely failed to understand Minato's strength!

Even though I'm already a Shadow, we should all be on the same level!

why?

Why can't I muster even the slightest thought of resistance when facing the other side? It's as if if I make the slightest movement, I'll be mercilessly killed by the other side in the next second!

"This kind of strength! Even the First Mizukage couldn't do that, right?" The Third Mizukage was flustered. He wanted to compare himself to Minato, the strongest person in his knowledge, but he found that even the First Mizukage seemed unable to make a ripple in front of Minato!

Rasa felt the same way. In fact, he could only think of the Third Kazekage. Comparing him to Minato, he felt that one was on a completely different level.

The last representative from Kumogakure was even less of a figure; he wasn't even the Raikage, he was just there to attend a meeting.

The four exchanged glances, each understanding the meaning in the other's eyes.

“I…agree…” Rasa was the first to bow his head. He was still a prisoner of Konoha, so there was nothing shameful about bowing his head!

Onoki, the Third Mizukage, and representatives from Kumogakure followed suit, all expressing their intention to convey Minato's message to the village.

Minato didn't tolerate the three men's evasive arguments. After unleashing a small amount of his chakra to intimidate them, he turned and left.

Just as they were leaving, the sound of water gate was heard.

"Well then, I'll wait for good news from the three of you. After all, we don't want to destroy the other three countries either."

The Hidden Cloud Village is already destroyed; there's no point in talking about its destruction.

The four understood the meaning behind Minato's words, but they had no doubt that Minato had such an ability.

Judging from the chakra that the opponent just unleashed, the opponent is no longer on the same level as me.

If we really wanted to wipe them out, it wouldn't be difficult at all.

After Minato left, the four of them slumped into their chairs with a sigh of relief.

Onoki felt that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

"This is terrifying! How could someone like that become Hokage?" Onoki squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Huh?" The Mizukage looked at Onoki with confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Onoki glanced at the other party with a cold smile and said, "Don't you understand? According to Konoha's tradition, their Hokage shouldn't be someone with such an aggressive personality. After all, they started with the slogan of peace."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

If I remember correctly, the Third Hokage seemed to want to negotiate with them?

But they refused...

"Sigh... I regret it so much!"

The group left Konoha one after another, but their faces were full of sorrow as they departed.

Now that I'm back, how am I supposed to explain this to the villagers...?

"Lord Hokage, the representatives from other countries have already left," White Fang reported.

Minato stood by the window, and from his angle, he could take in the entire view of Konoha at a glance.
