Konoha, Just Like Kizaru

If Simu had said that earlier, everyone might have dismissed it as fart.

But now, it was different.

Simu had just proven with his actions that his strength far exceeded that of an average Jōnin. 

Not even Revolving Heaven, known for being an impenetrable defense, could stop him.

The Hyuga clan members looked horrified, but for a moment, no one dared to make a move against Simu.

His display of power was terrifying.

Hyuga Lindy's eyes were filled with tears, which fell like pearls to the ground, making her look even more lovable.

Hyuga Lindy trembled and said, "I want to get married." 

The scene fell silent.

Simu's heart sank.

Elder Hyuga chuckled quietly to himself, pleased that under the pressure of the Caged Bird, Hyuga Lindy wouldn't dare to defy the clan.

However, before he could fully revel in his thoughts, Hyuga Lindy spoke again:

"I want to get married…" 

"I want to marry You, Simu!"

Hyuga Hiashi on the side was pale and bloodless.

The corner of Simu's mouth hooked.

Simu let out a sigh of relief and said, while patting his chest.

"You scared me, I thought you didn't want me anymore," 

He then looked coldly at the Hyuga clan members.

"I'll ask again—if you give Lindy to me and remove the Caged Bird seal, I might consider letting you go."

Arrogance.

What arrogance!

At the Hyuga clan leader's inauguration ceremony, there had already been chaos at the wedding. 

Now, they were being asked to hand over the bride and remove the Caged Bird seal.

And the best part? Simu would "consider" letting them go.

The elders of the Hyuga clan turned pale with fury.

If they actually did what Simu asked…

If they agreed to Simu's demands, the Hyuga clan would no longer be able to show their face in Konoha, let alone the entire ninja world.

"It's absolutely impossible!"

The Great Elder nearly fainted from rage. 

The Hyuga clan had stood for so many years, and never had they faced such humiliation.

Simu sighed in pity. He tapped his feet, leaped into the air, and looked down at the crowd. 

His coat of justice billowed in the wind, and he crossed his arms in front of his chest, forming the orchid gesture. 

Two brilliant flashes of light burst from his fingertips, like two suns shining in the sky!

"If that's the case..." 

Simu brought his hands together, and the two golden orbs merged into one in front of him. 

It formed a cross-shaped flash of light.

"Yasakani No Magatama!"

The cross-shaped light shattered instantly, sending tens of thousands of sparkling lights falling like stars. 

It was an indiscriminate attack, covering the entire square, including the Hyuga clan's ancestral halls.

As they watched, all the Hyuga people felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness, as if facing an unstoppable force—just like when Yugito Nii appeared.

"Let's go, everyone!" The ninjas watching the scene quickly ran toward the outskirts of the Hyuga clan.

"All of you, use Revolving Heaven to protect the ancestral hall!" 

Patriarch Hyuga Teruchi shouted. 

The Hyuga clan's ancestral hall was their symbol of faith and could not be allowed to be destroyed.

All the Hyuga ninjas rushed to the shrine, attempting to use Revolving Heaven to block Simu's powerful attack. 

However, many of the branch house ninjas, who were waiting in place, couldn't perform Revolving Heaven.

To maintain the clan's dominance, high-level Gentle Fist techniques like [Eight Trigrams Revolving Heaven] and [Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms] were reserved only for the main house. 

The branch house was forbidden from even learning these techniques.

Everyone watched the ironic scene and shook their heads, especially the Uchiha clan.

Both the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were bloodline families with stable inheritances, but their strategies were vastly different. 

The Uchiha clan encouraged their children to go to the battlefield, honing their skills and enhancing their Sharingan. 

In contrast, the Hyuga clan feared the potential loss of power to other villages and had implemented the Caged Bird seal on the branch house to weaken their strength.

This made people question whether the Hyuga clan truly cared about protecting the branch house, or if they simply wanted to maintain their supremacy.

Uchiha Suzuki shook his head. 

If that were not the case, why else would the Hyuga clan be in decline year after year?

Lindy is being forced to marry the patriarch Hiashi because of a misguided legend in the clan, all in the name of producing more pure Byakugan users. It's ridiculous.

Suddenly, golden light rained down from the sky. Each beam hit like a cannonball, causing massive explosions on impact. 

The main family members used Revolving Heaven to barely resist the attacks.

As for the branch house, most were severely injured from the blasts due to their lack of strength. 

The few remaining branch house members abandoned their task of protecting the ancestral hall and instead rushed to help the others.

Simu's attack covered too wide an area. 

Even if all the main family members worked together, they couldn't block it entirely. 

The golden light crashed down like meteorites, destroying nearby houses, including most of the ancestral hall. 

The clan could only protect the most central part.

This disaster-like scene shocked everyone in the Hyuga clan. 

Even the other ninjas, including the Jōnin attending the ceremony, were stunned.

"How is this possible?"

Could a Genin, who had only graduated from the ninja academy a year and a half ago, really use such a powerful technique? 

No one there knew the answer.

The man before them had fought Two Tails and defeated Five Tails in the Iron Country. 

He had topped the exams and was promoted to Jōnin. 

But even a Jōnin couldn't unleash such terrifying ninjutsu.

After this battle, there might be a new S-class ninjutsu—[Yasakani no Magatama]—recorded in the Konoha Seal Book.

Simu's attack had leveled nearly all the houses within hundreds of meters. 

Most of the Hyuga ninjas who fell were from the branch house. 

They could all have died if Simu wished it, but he didn't see the need. He had plans for these branch house ninjas.

It's not easy to show kindness to a woman who has moved him.

The attack just now not only destroyed the surrounding houses but also ravaged the main ancestral hall. 

Hidden chambers beneath the crumbling ground were revealed.

Simu scanned the area with his Observation Haki.

"That's terrifying. So this is how the Hyuga clan protects the branch house?" 

Simu's words caught everyone's attention, and their gazes shifted to the temple.

The faces of several elderly elders changed drastically. Beneath the shattered ground, a vast secret room had been exposed. 

Inside, large liquid containers held pale, pure eyes—Byakugan eyes—floating eerily in the liquid.

The branch house members, still recovering from the earlier attack, stared at the scene in shock.

Such a large number of Byakugan eyes couldn't possibly come from the main family. There was only one conclusion left: these eyes belonged to the branch house members.

"No, no..."

The Main family elder glared at Simu. If looks could kill, Simu would have died hundreds of times by now.

"These eyes were taken from the bodies of dead branch house members!"

The Great Elder explained in a deep voice.

"Is it wrong to use these powerful eyes to restore the Hyuga clan's greatness?"

However, the branch house members didn't buy the explanation. 

They had never known about this before! Disappointment was clear on their faces.

Simu sneered. "I didn't realize that the branch house would honor your family in life, and their bodies would continue to serve even after death. Truly eye-opening."

"Shut up!"

Hyuga Teruchi's fists clenched tightly, veins bulging.

With a sharp glare, he activated his Byakugan.

He then took the Gentle Fist stance, one palm aimed at Simu, the other positioned firmly near his abdomen.

All the Chakra in Hyuga Teruchi's body gathered in the palm of his outstretched hand. 

With a powerful roar, he shouted, "Eight Trigrams Profound Truth Air God Strike!"

A massive burst of Chakra erupted from his palm, compressing the surrounding air into a concentrated stream. 

It wasn't just air; it formed a solid air column due to the intense compression!

The speed of the attack is very fast. 

It was so fast that even Simu couldn't react in time.

The massive air column blasted everything in front of Hyuga Teruchi into nothingness. 

The ground, the ruined walls—everything was reduced to ashes!

Eventually, Simu absorbed the attack, and in the pale air column, his black figure slowly vanished. 

The shockwave left a deep, wide gully, about five or six meters across, cutting through the ruins. 

Starting from the ancestral hall, this ravine stretched halfway across the Hyuga clan's land.

Hyuga Teruchi collapsed to his knees, his eyes distant as he muttered Simu's name. Blood poured from his ears, nostrils, and eyes, converging into a pool of Bloodline at his feet. .

"Cough cough cough cough cough..." 

He coughed violently and fell to his knees on the ground. 

The final secret technique of the Hyuga clan, the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Profound Truth Air God Strike had drained him entirely.

Although Hyuga Teruchi's body was nearly broken, he showed no regret. His son had successfully become the patriarch. 

If Simu wasn't defeated, the Hyuga clan could truly fall apart.

Seeing this, the clan elders finally sighed in relief. They had feared that Simu would destroy the Hyuga clan entirely.

Danzo and Uchiha Suzuki both shook their heads and sighed at the same time.

It was a pity. However, Simu had forced the Hyuga clan to reveal their hidden cards, which served some purpose. 

If he continued to improve, he could become the next Hatake Sakumo.

Simu was still too young and too reckless. No one could stand against him. He had barged into the Hyuga clan's territory, provoked the entire clan, and destroyed their ancestral hall. Even the Hokage's son had nothing to say when he was defeated.

"The... ultimate mystery of the Hyuga clan..."

Hyuga Teruchi muttered, barely hanging on to life. 

"Just a little more, just a little... and I would have been dead."

Countless points of light formed the shape of Simu in front of him. Simu made a gesture that would drive men in the Hyuga Clan crazy.

A slight breeze lifted Simu's coat, sending a chill through the hearts of everyone in the Hyuga clan. 

What could they possibly do against such a monster?

The power of the [Air God Strike] was indeed very strong. 

If Simu hadn't used his elementalization in time, he would have been seriously injured, or worse. But ninja battles can change in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the situation shifted dramatically.

"Now, will you return Lindy to me, Patriarch?" Simu asked calmly.

Hyuga Teruchi remained silent.

The Great Elder of the Hyuga clan formed a mudra with both hands and threatened, 

"Hanyu Simu, if you move again, I will kill Hyuga Lindy immediately!"

But before the words could fully sink in, an arm fell from the elder's shoulder. No one saw how Simu moved. 

By the time they realized what happened, Simu was already standing behind the elder, a lightsaber in his hand. Blood sprayed as Simu pushed his eyes.

"I hate being threatened the most." Simu said coldly.

"One more thing: if anyone dares to use the Caged Bird, not a single person in the Hyuga clan will survive."

A deadly silence followed.

If anyone else had said this, it would have been laughable. But Simu's actions made everyone believe he was fully capable of carrying out his threat.

"Simu, it's time to stop!"

The voice of the Third Hokage echoed through the tension-filled air. He appeared, wearing his Hokage robe and hat, followed by several Anbu.

The commotion was so large that it shook all of Konoha.

"Hokage-sama, are you here to watch me chase girls too?" Simu said casually, resting his palm gently on Lindy's head and rubbing it. It felt nice.

The Third Hokage's face darkened. 

He looked around at the nearly destroyed Hyuga land, then at Hyuga Teruchi and the Great Elder, both kneeling in front of him.

He was speechless.

Is this how one chases after a girl? By destroying her family? Is this some new custom?

He took a deep breath, preparing to order Anbu to catch Simu.

After all, such an event happening in broad daylight couldn't go unnoticed. As Hokage, it would be too much to say nothing at all.

A few figures stepped forward, blocking Simu. 

It was Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato, who had just returned to the village.

Hyuga Lindy looked at them, tears welling up again.

Kushina smiled at Lindy. "Don't worry, with us here, no one can force you."

"You guys..." 

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened.

Just then, a more annoyed voice rang out.

"Sarutobi-sensei."

Jiraiya appeared, scratching his head in distress.

What should he do now that all three of his students had turned against him? 

Waiting for a solution, and it was very urgent.
