Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

All I think about every day is having fun.

Even when we go on missions, there are teachers to guide us, and as long as we don't do anything particularly reckless, there is no danger to our lives.

The current Minato and his companions are even younger than they were back then, yet they are going to the battlefield to fight against the enemy.

Is this also a sign that the village is becoming weaker?

"This is also a manifestation of Jiraiya's irresponsibility!" Tsunade thought helplessly.

She didn't know what the Third Hokage was thinking, entrusting these two geniuses to that irresponsible Jiraiya, and now even sending them to the front lines. Even though they had passed the Chunin Exams, they were still too young!

Sending children to the battlefield can easily breed darkness in their hearts! And this darkness will almost always accompany them for life!

"You dare to split yourself in two while fighting me? Tsunade, you really have no respect for the elderly!" Chiyo noticed Tsunade's distraction and sneered, "They're not very old, probably recent graduates this year, right? Should I have someone kill those brats? It would be a relief for them."

"Heh, focus on the present, old man!" Tsunade's gaze was serious; she felt utterly disgusted by Chiyo's provocation.

Of all the people in Sunagakure, the one she hated the most was this old woman in front of her. The woman was covered in poison, and anyone who got into contact with it would lose half their life. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, their bodies would be ruined, and they would never be able to continue being a ninja for the rest of their lives.

What's even more frustrating is that she can't cure the other person's poison!

In the distance, Zhang Shan felt several sharp gazes fall on him. Looking closer, he saw a white-haired man glancing at him.

"White hair, wielding a short sword, is that Bai Ya?" Zhang Shan thought to himself, "I've been trying so hard to keep a low profile, yet I'm still being noticed?"

However, if he's paying attention, so be it. If he's not paying attention, he has no reason to get involved with the other party!

Besides wanting to save White Fang a few years later, he also coveted the other's swordsmanship.

His current abilities are basically achieved by exploiting his counterparts from other worlds, so he also wants to make some contributions to them.

For example, if brothers in the One Piece world mastered their swordsmanship, the other world might be able to directly become a swordsman.

In short, he didn't want to rely on his counterparts from other worlds forever; he wanted to become stronger so that he could become a support for his counterparts in other worlds in the future!

puff~

After casually killing a Sand Ninja who had ambushed him, Zhang Shan suddenly felt the temperature around him begin to rise!

"Scorching Escape!"

With a soft shout, an orange-red fireball came hurtling towards them.

Zhang Shan shifted his body slightly, but he still felt as if his body had been burned.

Looking up, he saw a girl with dark green hair but orange-yellow ends looking at him, panting heavily.

The girl had delicate skin and a well-proportioned figure. She was about the same age as Zhang Shan, and they probably both graduated from the Ninja Academy this year, if Sunagakure had one.

"Burning Release, plus that hair color, it's definitely Yekura. That figure, amazing!" Zhang Shan thought to himself, but his face remained fierce.

He threw several shuriken at Yecang with a backhand!

Yekura easily dodged the attack with a roll.

"Strange? His attack method just now wasn't like this?" Ye Cang wondered.

He had been observing Zhang Shan for some time now. Every time the other man made a move, he could easily kill a Sand Ninja and had never failed.

Therefore, she risked her life to use the Scorching Release technique, which she was not yet very familiar with, hoping to severely injure Zhang Shan with a sneak attack! Unexpectedly, even though she was so careful, her attack was still dodged by the opponent, without even a scratch.

However, based on the opponent's previous performance, the shuriken they threw couldn't possibly be of such a playful level!

"He's testing me?" Ye Cang immediately found a reason: "The power of the Scorching Release is terrifying. He just experienced it up close and can't guarantee that I can release it again. That's why he used this method to make me lower my guard. In reality, he's looking for an opportunity to kill me with one blow!"

Ye Cang was envisioning a grand drama unfolding in his mind, but Zhang Shan's thoughts were quite simple.

"This girl is pretty good. She'll be a big shot in the future. I can help her when Luo Sha betrays her." Zhang Shan narrowed his eyes, thinking about how many wives he would like to find in the future.

"Hmm? Eyes narrowed! Is he trying to kill me?" Ye Cang's alarm bells went off, his muscles tensed, and his smooth back suddenly felt chilly, even causing a slight stomachache.

Although Zhang Shan did nothing, the strength he displayed before was completely different from what a Chunin should be like. In addition, Ye Cang kept imagining things, so even if Zhang Shan was just standing there, she was filled with fear of him, afraid that he would suddenly rush over and kill her!

Just as Ye Cang was extremely nervous, Zhang Shan gave her a friendly smile and then threw a kunai at her.

Whoosh!

呲呲~~

"Explosive tags? I..."

boom! !

The explosive tag detonated, and just when Yekura thought he was going to die, he found that the explosive tag in front of him only exploded on the mound of earth in front of him, blowing up a large patch of earth and burying Yekura under the earth.

This isn't killing her; it's clearly providing her with the perfect cover!

"What happened? Did he make a mistake? But how could that be? He just... Never mind, maybe he slipped and made a mistake. I need to get out of here quickly!"

After observing the surroundings and finding no danger, and with Zhang Shan already turned and left, Ye Cang seized the opportunity and immediately fled!

Although Zhang Shan didn't use his eyes to see, his Observation Haki had been monitoring Ye Cang's actions. Now, realizing that the other party had escaped to a safe place, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, there really aren't many pretty girls in Konoha at this stage..."

Besides Kushina, only Uchiha Mikoto remains.

But the other party was a noble Uchiha, and three years older than Zhang Shan. By the time he graduated, the other party was already a Chunin and had been working in the Konoha Police Force for several years...

Easily dodging the enemy's sneak attack, Zhang Shan retaliated with a Rasengan that struck his opponent!

boom! !

The Rasengan in his hand exploded, sending the man flying back several meters, leaving a deep trail in its wake!

Seeing this, all the Sand Ninja around panicked and looked at Zhang Shan with fear on their faces.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that?"

"A-rank ninjutsu! There's no doubt about it! How could such a brat use it!"

"Judging from his age, he must be a genius of Konoha, right? To be able to use A-rank ninjutsu at such a young age, if we kill him, Konoha will definitely feel the pain for a long time, right?"

Some were terrified and wanted to stay away from Zhang Shan to avoid being hit by his Rasengan. Others, however, were excited, thinking that killing a young genius like Zhang Shan would be a great achievement for them, and they might even get promoted and made a fortune when they returned!

Guys, please give me some votes and investments! The data is really terrible~

Chapter 27 Freedom of Action

"Go to hell, brat! If it were a few years later, I would definitely avoid you, but now, I can kill you with a flick of my wrist! Blame your stupid Hokage for letting a genius like you onto the battlefield."

Looking at the crazed Sand Ninja in front of him, Zhang Shan frowned slightly. It seemed that this guy had a deep hatred for Konoha!

"Meat bomb tank!"

Glug glug glug~~

Upon discovering that his companion was in danger, Ding Zuo immediately transformed into a meatball tank once again and charged over!

Before the Sand Ninja could even get close to Zhang Shan, he was crushed into a meat patty by Ding Zuo.

"Thanks!" Zhang Shan said.

"Hehe! We're all partners!" Ding Za grinned. "But Zhang Shan, you're being too modest, aren't you? Look at Minato, he's unleashed his full power and has already killed almost twenty enemies!"

"The way of warfare is to attack the enemy with three parts and retain seven parts for yourself," Zhang Shan said calmly. "Minato's single-minded drive is indeed admirable, but even the strongest person has their limits. Once a mistake is made, the consequences will be irreversible!"

At this moment, Minato returned to Zhang Shan and the others from a distance. He was panting heavily, and after hearing Zhang Shan's words, he said nonchalantly, "I knew you would save me at the crucial moment, Zhang Shan! After all, your strength far surpasses ours."

Zhang Shan smiled. It felt good to be trusted, but he still had to give some advice: "No matter whether I can provide support at any time, you must not put yourselves in a desperate situation. Otherwise, if you get used to this kind of combat, you won't even know how you died."

Minato smiled and nodded. He understood Zhang Shan's point, but that was only true when he was alone. If he had reliable companions behind him, he could just boldly charge forward and his companions would protect him from the dangers behind him!

Seeing that Minato was exhausted, the group stopped charging forward as they had at the beginning of the battle. Instead, the four of them banded together, and while protecting Minato, Zhang Shan and Zhiwei dealt with the enemies that rushed in front of them.

With their movements becoming increasingly labored, both sides' ninjas gradually ceased their actions and returned to their respective commanders' backs.

Zhang Shan and the others stood behind Tsunade, looking at the exhausted people around them, and knew that today's battle should end.

Sure enough, the next moment they heard Tsunade tell them to retreat.

The situation was similar on the Sand Village side. Seeing that their ninjas were basically exhausted, they did not hesitate to order a retreat.

Whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, the woods were filled with leaping black shadows!

Once back at the camp, Minato and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm exhausted today, I'm going back to rest!" Zhang Shan said as he returned to his tent.

After he left, Minato and the others went to fetch water to wash themselves off the smell of blood.

Just as they went to fetch water, Tsunade came to their tent and saw that only Zhang Shan was there. Tsunade didn't mince words and asked directly, "The technique you used today, did you develop it yourself?"

Tsunade had already witnessed the power of the Rasengan. If that move had hit her, she would probably have been seriously injured, or even killed!

If this move was indeed developed by Zhang Shan, it would be a waste for such a genius to follow me!

Zhang Shan nodded: "I figured it out."

There was no need to hide this matter; a little investigation would reveal the truth, so Zhang Shan readily admitted it.

That's right, I am a super genius!

Although she had already made up her mind, Tsunade was still very shocked when she actually heard it confirmed by Zhang Shan!

A kid who just graduated from the Ninja Academy has actually developed that level of ninjutsu!

"What is that old man thinking? I really don't know how to handle them!" Tsunade was getting a little annoyed.

She is very confident in teaching medical ninjutsu, but in terms of combat, she has not yet condensed the Hundred Healings Seal herself. Her combat power relies purely on her superhuman strength, and its power is not very impressive.

She really didn't know what she could teach them.

"Or should we just leave it at that and let them do whatever they want?" A bold idea popped into Tsunade's mind: "Anyway, he's so young and he can develop advanced ninjutsu on his own, so I don't need to teach him anything. As long as he stays alive, that's enough!"

At this moment, Minato and the other two returned with water and greeted Tsunade politely.

Tsunade nodded and asked Minato, "Minato, I heard you're learning sealing techniques from Mito-sama?"

"Yes, Kushina, Zhang Shan, and I have been studying with Mito-sama for quite some time now."

"As expected..." Tsunade's belief became even stronger.

Therefore, Zhang Shan and the others did not receive any direct orders the next day. When they found Tsunade, they learned that they would be free to act on their own from then on.
