Chapter 180: Chapter 180
Naruto World
Jiraiya and Tsunade realized that the current situation had grown beyond their control, especially with other ninja villages involved and Orochimaru acting in the shadows.
They decided to convene a Five Kage Summit to face the looming threats to the ninja world together, with Konoha chosen as the meeting place.
In the Hokage building, high-ranking figures from the five ninja villages gathered. Since no Kazekage had been chosen yet, Chiyo, the most respected elder, represented the Sand Village.
The Five Kage Summit was not just a casual conversation—it was a complex game of strategies and political maneuvering, as each leader sought the best for their village.
Even before the meeting began, the atmosphere was heavy and tense.
Most couldn't help but glance at Jiraiya. After all, he possessed the power of the Sage of Six Paths, which made A, Mei, and Onoki feel quite discontented. They had initially been thrilled about obtaining powerful beasts, feeling it would give their villages an edge.
But discovering that other villages also possessed beasts—and that Jiraiya wielded the power of the Six Paths, far surpassing them—left them feeling frustrated.
"I believe everyone understands the situation. The monsters you've encountered are creatures from another world, an antagonistic race to humanity," Tsunade began, explaining the containment items.
"Wait a minute! You're suddenly talking about containment items and other worlds—who's supposed to believe that?" Ay interjected, finding the concept too absurd.
"But if Tsunade were lying, then how would you explain the existence of the legendary beasts we acquired?" Mei said, twirling a Poké Ball containing Kyogre.
"These creatures are indeed antagonistic. It took our village two days to clear out just one type of humanoid creature—they breed too rapidly," Onoki added gravely. Although the humanoid creatures weren't individually strong, their reproduction made them a serious threat. Worse, they were learning ninjutsu, which only added to Onoki's burden as Tsuchikage.
"Beyond containment items, there's also the matter of Orochimaru. I assume you're all aware of the C-virus situation. Let me tell you, that's not just some weapon—it's a tool of destruction!" Tsunade declared, her face darkening with hatred.
"We absolutely cannot indulge our desires by using something so dangerous. I hope everyone will make every effort to locate Orochimaru and eliminate the C-virus threat. We can't let it ruin the ninja world!"
"Is that so? I don't quite agree," Ay voiced his differing opinion.
"No weapon is as effective as the C-virus. Facing a difficult enemy? Infect them and turn them into mindless zombies, then eliminate them. And the Javo, which can be controlled and made even more powerful, is quite appealing."
"Are you serious? Are you planning to turn your own ninja into monsters?" Tsunade shouted, glaring at Ay.
"It's something to consider. Besides, Orochimaru has hinted that he's working on developing more suitable bioweapons."
Tsunade and Jiraiya both thought of the Super Beast Synthesizer that Orochimaru had previously acquired. Despite their ongoing surveillance and intelligence gathering, Orochimaru had been exceptionally quiet, making them suspect he was up to something sinister, waiting for the right moment.
"Anyway—" Tsunade began, only to be interrupted as a screen suddenly appeared before everyone, startling the other villages' representatives.
"This is the prediction screen for containment items that we mentioned. Let's watch it together," Jiraiya said calmly, reassuring them.

Marvel Universe
In a bar in Mexico, Thor, Tony Stark, Nick Fury, Natasha, Clint Barton, Rogers, Jane, Daisy, and Ryner were deep in discussion.
"It's impossible. I'm just a mortal now, powerless. He won't bother with me, so you can forget about any help from him," Thor said, shaking his head and downing a jug of ale.
Seeing Thor's defeated demeanor, Fury and Stark exchanged exasperated looks, hardly able to reconcile this drunken figure with the bold warrior they'd seen on screen.
How were they supposed to talk sense to a drunkard?
"Hey, Thor, you still have strength," Rogers spoke up, attempting to inspire him.
"You have unmatched courage. A warrior isn't defined by power alone. If you truly have as much honor as you claim, it's because you possess an unbreakable spirit."
"I'm not very strong either, but I don't fear hardship and rise up again and again. I know you can too," Rogers said, embodying the spirit of a true leader.
Thor stopped drinking momentarily, clearly affected by Rogers' words, but then he shook his head again.
"No, I'm not as strong as you think," he replied, then took another long swig.
Rogers was at a loss for words.
"Captain, what you said was actually pretty insightful—worthy of a self-help book. But this guy's brain is soaked in alcohol," Stark commented, leaning closer to Rogers with a smirk.
Watching this, Ryner couldn't resist the urge to push them together to make them even closer.
Just then, a screen appeared between them.
"What's this?" Rogers instinctively stepped back, reaching for his belt.
"Don't worry, Captain. This is the screen we talked about," Natasha reassured him.
"Oh, the one that SCP's predictions?"
Rogers, curious, tried touching the screen, only for his hand to pass right through.
"Just sit and watch quietly; otherwise, people will think you're strange," Stark said, pulling Rogers back to his seat.
Jane and Daisy were oblivious, focused on their food, and Ryner pretended not to notice anything unusual.
The group's attention then turned to the screen.

Kamar-Taj
The Ancient One, sensing the screen's presence, emerged from her secluded study. The gathered students were already prepared, watching the screen in anticipation of what would come next.
