Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

"Hey! Don't pretend we don't exist."

A flash of white light appeared, and the handsome white-haired man stood in front of Qi Liujia, blocking his path.

"Hatake Sueshige!" Kiryuga roared, "Get out of my way! My only target today is that brat!"

"Heh." Hatake Sakumo chuckled coldly twice, then brought his sword down on Kiryuga.

"asshole!"

He was very unhappy, but he couldn't let Hatake Sōshige get away with it. So, Kiryuga gritted his teeth and threw out several scrolls!

"Secret Technique! A Thousand Machines Linked!"

A series of plumes of smoke appeared in the air, followed by dozens of puppets.

Qi Liujia, controlling these puppets, roared at Hatake Sōshige, "Get out of the way! Hundred Puppet Slash!"

Under Qi Liujia's control, dozens of puppets simultaneously swung their chakra swords, unleashing a barrage of blue chakra slashes towards Bai Ya.

"Are those all precious chakra swords?!" Zhang Shan's eyes lit up. Chakra swords are rare items, and he didn't expect Qi Liujia to have so many!

However, considering that the other party was a high-ranking member of Sunagakure, it didn't seem like there was anything to be surprised about.

Hatake Sakumo dodged repeatedly, barely managing to evade the sword attacks.

"A great opportunity!" Qi Liujia's face lit up with joy. His target had never been this white-haired man, but Zhang Shan behind him.

Now that Hatake Sōshige has made way, isn't that giving him an opportunity?

Dozens of puppets headed straight for Zhangshan.

"Go to hell, little devil!"

"Spiral Dance!"

Zhang Shan clasped his hands together, and a violent surge of chakra erupted from his body, blasting everything around him away.

The puppets that rushed towards him were blasted away by the turbulent current, without harming him in the slightest.

"How is this possible!" Qi Liujia's eyes widened in disbelief that his strongest move couldn't even get him close to this kid!

"Why not?" Zhang Shan sneered. "When did you start to believe you could hurt me?"

"However, since you've already come all this way, if I let you go back unscathed, it would make me seem just as incompetent as you Sand Ninja."

As he spoke, Zhang Shan raised his arm again, and the piercing sound rang in everyone's ears once more.

"Are you kidding me?"

"That kind of ninjutsu can actually be used continuously?!"

"What a slap in the face!"

The Sand Ninja broke down, threw away their kunai, and knelt down in surrender.

Over here, Zhang Shan threw out the Rasenshuriken without hesitation. The blue and white chakra shuriken went straight for Qi Liujia!

Wherever it passed, the puppets were instantly cut in half at the waist, and the chakra threads controlling them were also severed by the sharp wind, turning them all into piles of broken wood.

Seeing that Qi Liujia was about to escape, the Rasenshuriken exploded with a bang!

"Ahhh!"

Unable to dodge in time, Qi Liujia's arm was caught in the explosion of the spiral shuriken. Instantly, Qi Liujia felt as if a thousand steel needles had been inserted into his arm. Indescribable pain assaulted his brain, and the screams that Qi Liujia let out echoed throughout the entire battlefield!

When he forcibly pulled his arm out of the explosion, he found that his arm was completely numb.

"asshole!"

He glared angrily at Zhang Shan, but the latter paid him no heed. He walked over to the puppets, collected all the chakra blades that had fallen to the ground, and then beckoned to Nawaki, saying, "Come help me get these things!"

The rope tree, which had been stunned, started moving on its own without even needing to think, after Zhang Shan called out to it.

After Zhang Shan placed all the bound chakra blades in Rope Tree's hand, the other party finally realized what was happening. He opened his mouth wide, pointed at Zhang Shan, and then at the large crater caused by the second Rasenshuriken, muttering something like "Aba aba".

"Hey, I know you're shocked, but is it really that bad that your language system is broken?" Zhang Shan looked at him with amusement. "Alright, this is none of our business. Let's go back."

Looking up, all the Sand Ninja had laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground in surrender; the war was over.

Chapter 36, what? It's immortal magic!

The Kazekage was furious at the great victory on the battlefield in the Land of Wind, and the Sand Village surrendered completely!

It should be noted that when Chiyo died, he made a decision to use this as a demand to negotiate peace with Konoha, and to extort money from her as well.

However, due to Kiryuga's unauthorized actions, Sunagakure became the defeated party, and many prisoners were taken into Konoha's hands. As a result, they had to pay a heavy price!

On the avenue.

"Let's go home~"

Zhang Shan and his group were overjoyed. With the war over, they could all go back to their village and do their own things again.

The biggest gain for Zhang Shan from this trip was the right to use Tsunade's laboratory.

Moreover, Tsunade herself hardly ever used the laboratory, so it could be said that from then on, it became Zhang Shan's own laboratory!

"I'll find an opportunity to draw blood from both the Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga clans, and then begin my artificial Otsutsuki plan!" Zhang Shan thought to himself with delight.

Behind him, Rope Tree hung his head dejectedly. He was still of no use on the battlefield, which was completely different from his idea of ​​making a big splash.

However, at this point, no one paid attention to Rope Tree's thoughts. The war was over, and they were going home to enjoy a few peaceful days.

"I heard that the battle with Iwagakure is also coming to an end. That's great~" Tsunade said with a smile.

She stood beside the rope tree, looking at her adorable younger brother who was now dejected, and comforted him, "Don't look so down, cheer up!"

"Hehe, I can't be happy..." Rope Tree replied perfunctorily.

"Hmm?" Tsunade clenched her fist loosely, a sound of unquestionable conviction emanating from her throat.

Nawaki immediately perked up, and said with a big smile, "I'm so happy just thinking about seeing Grandma Mito soon!"

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction, then turned her gaze to Zhang Shan, who was walking at the front, and asked, "Zhang Shan, what are your plans for the future?"

"Me?" Zhang Shan turned his head in confusion, meeting Tsunade's eyes. He smiled and said, "Of course I'll continue my cultivation and do some small experiments along the way!"

When the topic of experiments came up, the people around Zhang Shan became interested; they were all curious about what Zhang Shan was going to do.

"Zhang Shan, what kind of experiment are you planning to do? Is it still something like penicillin?" Minato asked.

"Of course not! What I need to study..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Shan deliberately paused, looked at Minato and the others' curious gazes, and said, "I won't tell you!"

"You bastard!"

"You'll be punished by heaven if you only say half of what you mean!"

The men continued to wail, but Zhang Shan remained silent, and there was nothing they could do.

Tsunade didn't ask any more questions. As long as it wasn't a matter of principle, she felt it wasn't a big deal. After all, her great-uncle was also a mad scientist. As long as he didn't harm the people of Konoha, it was fine.

With a group of Sand Ninja prisoners, the group returned to Konoha.

Of course, those prisoners were not with them; they were taken over by the Anbu halfway there and are probably living a life of plenty in Konoha prison now.

After the group of five went with Tsunade and the others to report to the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage asked Zhang Shan with a smile, "Zhang Shan, is that ninjutsu an advanced version of the Rasengan? Does it have any side effects?"

The Third Hokage knew that Zhang Shan knew the Rasengan a long time ago, since Zhang Shan didn't hide it and even taught it to Minato.

However, the Rasengan is too difficult to learn. This extreme form change is impossible for ordinary people to master. Otherwise, the Third Hokage would have wanted all of Konoha to learn the Rasengan.

Now that I've heard that Zhang Shan has upgraded the Rasengan again, I naturally have to ask about it.

"Side effects? I didn't feel any side effects." Zhang Shan didn't mention the side effects he knew about, because he didn't experience any problems when he used it. With his strong physique, he couldn't detect these side effects at all.

At this moment, Minato spoke up: "Hokage-sama! I have some experience regarding the side effects of the Rasenshuriken."

The Third Hokage turned his gaze to Minato, who said, "Because it is an extreme form change with the addition of a nature change, and it is still a wind attribute, it places higher demands on the user's physical fitness. In my recent attempts, I have found that if the physical fitness is not strong enough, this move will backfire and cause serious injury."

Hearing Minato's words, the Third Hokage frowned slightly: "Strong physical abilities?"

He looked at Zhang Shan and asked, "Zhang Shan, do you still practice physical skills?"

“I don’t cultivate.” Zhang Shan said without hesitation, “However, I recently discovered a brand new cultivation method that can greatly improve physical fitness, so my body is a little stronger than Minato and the others. However, it seems that only I can do this method; Minato and the others can’t.”

Hearing what Zhang Shan said, the Third Generation became even more curious. What kind of cultivation method could quickly improve physical fitness and be impossible for others to imitate?

Next, the third generation had Zhang Shan demonstrate his cultivation method, and Zhang Shan, without hesitation, immediately began absorbing natural energy to cultivate immortality.

After looking at it for a few seconds, the Third Hokage smiled wryly and said, "This is a celestial technique; no wonder you can't imitate it."

"Sage Techniques?" Minato and the others looked at the Third Hokage with curiosity, not expecting that he would recognize what Zhang Shan was practicing at a glance.

“That’s right. Tsunade knows about Sage Mode. You can ask her any questions you have.” The Third Hokage smiled and then said to Zhang Shan, “You must have some special perception that allows you to directly capture natural energy and start your own Sage Mode. This is indeed a training method that only you can complete.”

Zhang Shan nodded, feigning sudden realization: "No wonder they couldn't do it. The others are one thing, but there's no reason Minato couldn't do it too. It turns out it's my exclusive skill!"

Hearing his words, the group, who had initially felt some regret, were immediately speechless. Even Minato could only manage a wry smile, wondering if Zhang Shan had overestimated himself. He was clearly a step behind Zhang Shan in everything...

After confirming that the Rasenshuriken was a ninjutsu with extremely serious side effects, the Third Hokage directly listed it as a forbidden technique, allowing only Zhang Shan to use it freely.

Then, he gave Zhang Shan a lot of money and sent them away.

"With this money, I'll have enough for my living expenses for the next ten years! Woohoo!" Zhang Shan cheered, his face beaming with joy.

Shuimen and the others could only look at Zhang Shan with envy. They had also received a considerable amount of money, after all, they had all returned from the battlefield and their rewards were certainly substantial, but compared to Zhang Shan's large box, it seemed very little.

Furthermore, Tsunade said that Zhang Shan would receive a large sum of money every month from now on, which would be considered as patent fees for penicillin.

Now, Zhang Shan has truly escaped poverty and reached the pinnacle of his life! Even if he resigns from his ninja identity today, he'll never lack money again!

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat everyone to barbecue!"

"Oh!! Long live Master!"

Chapter 37: Off to Sea!

"Bye-Bye!"

"See you tomorrow, Master!"

Goodnight, Zhang Shan.
