Chapter 19 Underground Gold Exchange

"Black market! It's a black market!"

The gangster stammered in a panic, afraid that if he hesitated, Simu would kill him.

"Black market?"

Simu stroked his chin, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Sounds like an interesting place."

"That's right! It's the black market!" the gangster hurriedly replied.

"About ten kilometers in that direction, underground—there's a black market. The children we capture are all sent there and sold for money."

Simu ...

Chapter 18 Serious Simu

The sunglasses on Simu’s face reflected a golden light.

It illuminated him like a god.

With a gentle wave of his open hands, a torrential downpour of golden light rained down in an instant!

Each glowing particle was as powerful as a bullet.

"What is this?!"

"A ninja? It's Konoha's ninja!"

The overwhelming pressure between life and death instantly sobered the drunken bandits.

Faced with the relentless downpour of golden light, all they could do was b...

Chapter 17 Have You Ever Seen The Light?

During their journey to the village, Simu’s team wasn’t always on the move.

Jiraiya would take breaks each day to guide Minato and Kushina in their training.

For example, Kushina had learned [Strange Power] over the past few days, and her talent in this ability seemed quite impressive.

Jiraiya’s eye twitched as he stared at the massive tree that had been split clean in half. At that moment, he couldn’t help but see the shadow of a certain terrifying woman in Kus...

Chapter 16 Girls Are Really Scary

Kill the Bandits

This was a mission entrusted by a border village.

The destination was about 300 kilometers away from Konoha, and the village consisted entirely of ordinary civilians.

Normally, since it was within the Land of Fire’s territory, it wouldn’t be easy for it to be attacked. Especially not by ninjas.

Unless another nation chose to go to war with the Land of Fire and Konoha, such incidents were rare.

However, for some reason, a group of bandits ha...

Chapter 15 The First Mission

"Why is Teacher Jiraiya late again?"

Kushina looked left and right but still couldn't find Jiraiya.

He was the one who set the meeting time for ten o’clock, yet he was nowhere to be seen.

Not only Jiraiya, but even Simu was late today.

Having waited in vain for half an hour, Kushina was starting to get impatient.

"That Simu… When he shows up, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

Namikaze Minato sat off to the side, his gaze fixed on his palm.

Five...

Chapter 14 Jiraiya's Troubles

Simu sat there carelessly, hands in his pockets, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Minato looked at Jiraiya and humbly asked, "Master Jiraiya, am I right?"

Jiraiya hesitated.

Shouldn't this kind of knowledge be explained by him?

Among his three students, one was too strong—casually blowing up his clone and even awakening a new Kekkei Genkai-style technique, Light Release. This completely ruined his plan to teach him a lesson.

Minato, on the other han...

Chapter 13 Light Escape, The Terrible Elimination Of Blood Successors

It was getting dark.

The Third Hokage sat in his office, his pipe flickering with embers as he took slow drags.

A figure emerged from the shadows, wearing a fox mask adorned with red patterns.

The masked figure knelt on one knee. "Lord Hokage."

"What happened?"

The Third Hokage glanced in the direction of the Forest of Death. He had, of course, noticed the massive disturbance caused by Simu just moments ago.

The Anbu operative hesitated as if carefully cons...

Chapter 12 Punching Out Of Get Off Work

Like a comet crashing into the earth.

A dazzling golden flash filled Jiraiya’s entire field of vision in an instant.

Simu transformed into a streak of golden light and appeared before Jiraiya in the blink of an eye.

Not wanting to give his opponent any chance to react, Simu didn't even bother saying a classic one-liner.

Instead, he swung his leg and delivered a fierce kick straight to Jiraiya’s stomach!

The golden light was blinding, and the sheer force of th...

Chapter 11 A Beam Of Light

"Is this Wind Style Ninjutsu?"

Jiraiya's face was full of doubt.

This move looked somewhat like Wind Style Ninjutsu, but Simu clearly didn't form any hand seals—he had released it with his feet.

Could it be his own seal-less jutsu?

Not just Jiraiya, even Kushina and Minato were stunned.

Despite spending so much time around Simu, neither of them had any idea when he had mastered such bizarre ninjutsu and taijutsu.

Hearing Jiraiya's question, Simu answered ...

Chapter 10 Battle Jiraiya

"The assessment starts now."

The moment Jiraiya's voice fell, Minato and Kushina vanished instantly.

One of the key principles taught at the Ninja Academy was to find a safe hiding place when facing an opponent stronger than yourself.

Utilizing Clone Techniques, Body Replacement Techniques, and other deceptive maneuvers, a team could work together to defeat a stronger enemy through strategy and coordination.

As soon as Minato and Kushina disappeared, Jiraiya d...

Chapter 9 First Assessment

The location written on the envelope led to a small forest on the outskirts of the Forest of Death.

The Forest of Death was created by the First Hokage himself using his abilities.

It was now one of the major training grounds in Konoha Village.

"What's going on? Why isn't Jiraiya here yet?"

Kushina glanced around at the dense forest, her tone filled with impatience.

It wasn’t her fault for complaining—by now, Jiraiya was already an hour late.

M...

Chapter 8 Girls Are The Scariest Thing

Finally, after sending Might Dai away, Simu thought he could finally get some proper sleep.

But just as he was about to relax, Namikaze Minato walked over.

"Might Dai sure is full of energy," Minato remarked, watching Dai's retreating figure with a smile. "You two are complete opposites."

Simu waved his hand dismissively. "It doesn't matter how energetic he is."

"The ninja world is a scary place. I just want to make some money, come back to Konoha, and live a comfortab...

Chapter 7 Grouping

When Jiraiya returned home, he looked at the document in his hand and felt a headache coming on.

A Nine-Tails Jinchūriki and two of Konoha’s top geniuses.

If something goes wrong...

Sigh.

Sarutobi-sensei really seems intent on squeezing me dry.

His eyes flicked over the photos of the three students.

The document, provided by Anbu, contained detailed records of their lives from childhood to the present.

Each one of them had deep Konoha root...

Chapter 6 Bringing Students

In the Hokage’s office, Danzo was discussing something with the Third Hokage.

"Hiruzen, those body techniques are extremely valuable. I believe it's necessary to have a conversation with Simu."

Danzo and Hiruzen possessed eyes far sharper than ordinary ninjas.

At a glance, they could see just how significant the techniques [Shave] and [Finger Pistol], used by Simu in battle, truly were.

If these techniques were easy to master, they could potentially raise the average...

Chapter 5 Sparkling Fruit

Since Simu was in the final group to fight, the Third Hokage could now make his decision.

In reality, there was nothing to debate.

The overwhelming power Simu displayed was even beyond Minato’s level.

With that, the Third Hokage officially announced:

"Hanyu Simu is today's number one!"

The old man smiled warmly.

"Congratulations, my boy. You are the strongest today."

But Simu didn’t seem interested in the praise. Instead, he bluntly asked, "When w...

Chapter 4 Speed ​​Is Power!

Although Simu's kick landed squarely on Uchiha Hanabi’s abdomen, he refused to back down.

For the glory of the Uchiha clan, surrender was not an option.

Still airborne, Hanabi struggled to form hand seals.

It worked!

Despite struggling with seals on normal occasions, in this critical moment, his hands moved effortlessly.

“A**hole! I’ll show you the true power of the Uchiha clan!”

“Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!”

What?!

The aud...

Chapter 3 It's Scary Uchiha

Simu walked onto the stage, his thoughts drifting casually.

Seeing such a contemptuous attitude from his opponent, Uchiha Hanabi felt his anger flare.

"So it's you, Simu. You better laugh now because you won’t be able to later," Hanabi said coldly.

Although he had not yet awakened his Sharingan, he had already mastered several ninjutsu techniques under the training of his family.

After all, the Ninja Academy only taught basic chakra control and the Three Basic Jutsu:...

Chapter 2 Two Hundred Thousand Taels, I'm Sure!

Third Hokage's long speech finally came to an end.

A teacher from the Ninja Academy took his place on stage.

"This assessment is extremely important. It not only determines whether you can graduate but also affects your team placement after graduation."

"In addition, to encourage everyone, Lord Hokage himself will evaluate your performance during the battles."

"The student who ranks first will receive a reward of 200,000 ryō from the village!"

"Hmph! I'll make s...

Chapter 1 My Dream Is Fishing

Another graduation season.

The Ninja Academy at the base of Hokage Rock had entered its busiest time of the year.

Today was the graduation assessment for new ninjas.

Pass, and you officially become a ninja.

Fail, and you’ll have to retake the exam next year.

For these energetic kids, becoming a ninja was their lifelong dream.

At the academy, the Third Hokage stood on stage, delivering a long speech.

"Where the leaves of the tree dance, so does t...
