I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 737 Every father wants to be a superhero in his child's eyes.

The Five Shadows Conference was more like a voting meeting. A major issue would first be voted on at the Five Shadows Conference, and after it was passed, each village would send professionals to conduct further consultations.

After all, no matter how dedicated a shadow is, he can't possibly know everything about the village, nor can he possess truly professional skills in every aspect.

Even if one or two of the five shadows had such capabilities, they could not resolve a major issue at the Five Shadows Summit. Therefore, consultations between professionals from various countries after the Five Shadows Summit actually took longer.

As for the Shadows, it's impossible for them to stay put and discuss things, since under normal circumstances, each Shadow has almost endless matters to handle.

Even some Kage who are reluctant to delegate authority are indispensable to the operation of the village, while Kage like Tsunade are more likely to get vacations.

Therefore, after the Five Shadows meeting concluded and all villages reached a consensus, which meant attending one more banquet, they could return to their respective villages and wait for the details of the issues to be finalized.

Because the Fourth Shinobi World War was a major event requiring the participation of all shinobi in the world, it was not kept secret. As soon as Tatsuma and the others left, the news spread throughout the shinobi world, centered on the Land of Iron and the shinobi villages.

The departments that were most affected were those in each ninja village that liaised with their respective daimyo. The daimyo kept asking them questions, and the ninja villages had no choice but to answer them, since war required money, and only the daimyo could provide that money.

No one knows how long the upcoming Fourth Shinobi World War will last or how large it will be. Other ninja villages don't know how to approach the daimyo.

Except for Konoha, because Tatsuma's instructions were to take as much as possible, since the money didn't need to be repaid. During wartime it was war expenditure, and once the war ended, the remaining balance would become development expenditure.

The question from the Fire Country Daimyo was the fewest among the five great nations. The Fire Country Daimyo only asked one question: whether the resurrection of the Hokage of past generations was true.

After receiving Konoha's affirmative reply, the government of the Fire Country Daimyo responded concisely and forcefully, stating that it would raise war funds as soon as possible to fully support Konoha's operations.

Besides money, each ninja village is also trying its best to recover ninjas, recalling those dispatched abroad one by one, and recruiting ninja forces within the country that do not belong to the ninja villages, in preparation for war.

For example, the Fire Temple of the Land of Fire is also a ninja organization, but its members are not under the actual management of Konoha. However, the Fire Temple has also stated that it will participate in the war with all its might.

As for the other ninjas in the village, Konoha was quick to mobilize them by lifting the restrictions on ninjutsu learning, allowing every ninja to apply for and learn new ninjutsu.

Another group of people will receive special training, such as Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Naruto, what's your most proficient ninjutsu right now?"

At the training ground, Minato took on his fatherly duties, while the Senju brothers and Tatsuma watched from the sidelines. They didn't have any other plans for the time being, since the people in charge of the special training hadn't returned to the village yet.

Hearing his father's words, Naruto thought about it seriously and said, "I've mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique quite well."

Tobirama Senju's face suddenly darkened, and his fierce eyes instantly locked onto Naruto. Naruto seemed oblivious and continued, "The Rasengan and Sage Mode are also good."

Minato nodded and said, "You're very similar to your mother. Your mother was also very skilled in the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Rasengan."

Did Kakashi and the others tell you that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is actually a technique that assists in training other ninjutsu?

Naruto nodded. He did know this; Kakashi had told him about it when he was learning chakra nature transformation.

"With your chakra reserves, you should be able to create many shadow clones to assist your training. If you can master my Flying Thunder God Technique in a short time..."

"The Yondaime!"

Tobirama Senju spoke with a dark expression. Minato was taken aback, but seeing Tatsuma's animated hint, he realized what was going on and said, "Uh, it's the Flying Thunder God Technique developed by the Second Hokage."

Tobirama Senju's expression improved considerably, becoming calm and composed, but he still said, "The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was also developed by me."

"Tch~"

Tatsuma almost couldn't help but laugh. When Tobirama Senju glared at him fiercely, Tatsuma quickly added, "That's right, Naruto, the Impure World Reincarnation technique that brought your father back from the Pure Land was also developed by the Second Hokage!"

"Really? I didn't know you were this amazing, white-haired Hokage. I thought you were just a stoic guy like Sasuke who only knew how to talk big."

Naruto looked at Tobirama Senju with surprise. Tobirama Senju's expression turned strange. He could tell that Naruto sincerely admired him, but why did it sound so uncomfortable?

Especially putting him alongside the Uchiha clan... it's utterly absurd!

"Hahaha~"

Hashirama Senju burst into laughter, showing no respect for his younger brother. Upon hearing this laughter, Tobirama Senju began to grit his teeth.

Seeing that things were going badly, Minato quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, Naruto, we don't have much time left. Let's continue discussing what you should train for next."

"I want to learn Tatsuma-san's Rasengan."

Naruto was gesturing wildly, his heart surging with excitement as he recalled the Rasengan combo that Tatsuma used against the Gedo Mazo. Minato's expression stiffened.

Although he developed the Rasengan, he is not as good as those who learned the technique as he is at developing derivative uses of the Rasengan. In fact, his son has even surpassed him in the development of derivative techniques.

Not to mention Tatsuma, who comes from another ninja world and seems to have developed the Rasengan earlier than him, and whose talent surpasses his own.

Minato glanced at Tatsuma, hesitating whether to suggest changing Naruto's special training teacher, when Tatsuma said, "Minato, no matter how many techniques you learn now, nothing is as important as letting Naruto master the treasure-like power within him."

"right!"

Minato suddenly realized that he had forgotten about this. He looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, actually, only half of the Nine-Tails is inside you. The other half is inside me."

But even half of the Nine-Tails' power is already formidable. If you can fully unleash the Nine-Tails' power, you too can become a truly remarkable ninja.

As he spoke, Minato clenched his fist, and the Nine-Tails' chakra erupted from within. However, the dark red chakra only appeared for a moment before transforming into a dazzling golden light.

Minato's hair, skin, and even his clothes were covered with a golden chakra cloak.

"Naruto, do you want to learn?"

Looking at Minato, Naruto instantly fell in love with him, nodding frantically. If he could transform like that, he would definitely be even cooler than Sasuke! He would then show off his coolness in front of that expressionless man!

Seeing his son finally showing him an expression of admiration, Minato looked at Tatsuma gratefully. After all, what a father wants most is to become a superhero in his children's eyes, right?

Tatsuma nodded, then looked at Tobirama Senju and said, "Second Hokage, your student seems to be arriving at the village soon."

Tobirama frowned, his senses rapidly expanding. He took a deep breath and said, "What are you thinking? The Fourth Hokage? That's the student you picked for me? An Uchiha?!"

Facing Tobirama's resentment, Tatsuma smiled and nodded, saying, "After all, in this ninja world, who understands the Uchiha's power better than you? Besides, didn't you teach him?"

"I only gave him some ninjutsu scrolls; that was compensation!"
