Water poured down from the sky, infused with dark red tailed beast Chakra, about to be injected into Rin's body.
At that moment, Yagura's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of foreboding crept up on him.
Sure enough, in the center of the sealing formation, two figures suddenly appeared.
The word "Justice" on Simu's back had vanished.
In its place were five bold characters: "Fourth Hokage!"
The eyes of all the Kirigakure ninjas narrowed sharply.
Although isolated from the outside world, they knew very well what that Hokage robe represented.
Aoya's face twisted with displeasure.
Simu's arms were clad in heavy, armor-like Haki, radiating with menace.
He crushed the water sphere surrounding Rin's body effortlessly.
In an instant, an overwhelming and terrifying aura erupted from him like a volcanic explosion.
Under this terrifying pressure, the entire lake began to quake violently, as if caught in a violent storm.
This was the first time Simu had fully unleashed his Conqueror's Haki to such an extent.
Scarlet light flared from his eyes.
The Hokage robe billowed behind him like the cloak of a wrathful god.
Even the cascading stream of water from above was severed by a single wave of his hand.
"A mere Mizukage... dares to touch my disciple?"
Aoya narrowed his eyes slightly.
He could clearly sense how terrifying Simu's power was.
But he was also a village Kage. There was no reason to fear him.
Not to mention, he had numerous Anbu assisting him and home-field advantage.
With that thought in mind, he sneered coldly and said:
"They must have rushed here too quickly. Their Chakra reserves must be low. Don't be afraid—seal them both!"
Indeed, at this moment, Minato and Simu were standing in the middle of the sealing formation.
It no longer mattered what the plan for Three Tails was, or any scheme to attack Konoha.
If Hanyu Simu could be killed here—
A red gleam flashed in Yagura's eyes, a faint ripple of power flickering like spinning tomoe.
Hearing the Mizukage's order, all the surrounding Anbu ninjas immediately redirected their attacks toward Simu.
The massive water sphere trapping the Three Tails collapsed.
Nine enormous water dragons surged upward at once, roaring toward Simu.
And with the Three Tails' restraints lifted, the mountain-sized beast dropped like a meteor toward Simu and Minato.
"Simu, I'm almost out of Chakra," Minato said through gritted teeth.
To arrive this fast, he'd pushed his Flying Thunder God to the limit, consuming an enormous amount of Chakra.
And bringing another person along made the consumption grow exponentially.
Minato wasn't known for having vast Chakra reserves—so now, he was running on fumes.
Simu replied calmly, "Don't worry. Leave it to me."
Without another word, he cradled Rin in his arms and vanished from the spot.
Minato glanced down at the shadow beneath his feet—and up at the tailed beast descending on him.
What did that guy just say?
There was no time to hesitate. Minato squeezed out the last bit of his Chakra and used Flying Thunder God to teleport beside Shida.
The massive Three Tails crashed violently into the lake.
Waves surged and struck surrounding ninjas like a tidal barrage.
Fortunately, they were all from Kirigakure and were well accustomed to water.
Even if they were sent crashing to the lake bottom, they wouldn't be fatally injured.
As for Yagura, he still stood rooted in place.
His sharp gaze pierced through the water and locked onto the reappearing Simu.
Minato appeared next to him.
"I said, Simu… couldn't you take me with you for once?"
He held a special three-pronged kunai in his hand.
Although his tone was complaining, his body was tensed and ready for battle.
Simu stared across the lake at the Fourth Mizukage.
His face was grim.
"Leave this to me," he said, voice cold and unwavering.
Minato looked at Simu with surprise.
This guy always had a smile on his face. It was rare to see him this angry.
Without waiting for a response, Simu placed his palm flat on the water's surface.
A Summoning Circle began to stretch outward—hundreds of meters wide!
Even Minato couldn't help but gape slightly.
Just how much Chakra does this monster have?
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four massive explosions shook the air.
And then—four towering plumes of smoke spiraled into the sky.
From each smoke column, an overwhelming aura began to leak out.
"They're coming."
As Mizukage, Aoya was well aware of Simu's specific information—including his Summoning beasts.
Among them were three Tailed Beasts and an ancient celestial creature.
Truly…
Not someone to be trifled with.
Sure enough, three wild and violent auras instantly dispersed the smoke, crashing into the hearts of the Mist Shinobi like hammers.
"Got some work for us, boss?"
Matatabi, the Two-Tails, stepped lightly onto the surface of the water, sending up steam with each movement.
Ever since becoming Simu's Summoning beasts, they had been completely free.
They could do as they pleased—so long as they didn't kill humans indiscriminately.
That restriction was barely worth mentioning to them.
After all, they were essentially sentient chakra, not creatures driven by bloodlust.
They wouldn't kill without reason—but if someone came asking for death, they'd gladly oblige.
And doing the occasional part-time job for Simu? No problem at all.
Looking at the surrounding area, Si couldn't help but complain:
"The enemies this time are Mist Shinobi? You've really pissed off every village now."
Simu stood atop Katsuyu's massive body.
Thanks to his ample chakra reserves, the Katsuyu he summoned was clearly several times larger than the one Tsunade could summon.
"Katsuyu, take care of Lin for me."
"Understood, Lord Kizaru."
Though Simu no longer went by Kizaru, Katsuyu still called him that out of habit.
"Four Tailed Beasts…"
The surrounding Mist Shinobi gulped hard.
To them, both the massive Katsuyu and the Tailed Beasts were equally terrifying.
From the depths of the lake, a pale figure slowly emerged from Three Tails' eye socket.
Just as Three Tails was about to bite down and crush the intruder, it was instantly captivated by the glowing Sharingan.
Within moments, three tomoe spun in its eyes—and it rushed madly toward Simu.
The water exploded outward.
Three Tails curled into a ball and charged with overwhelming power.
The spikes on its shell slashed through the lake, parting the water in its wake as it barreled toward Simu.
"It's Jīpan…"
The other Tailed Beasts recognized the figure immediately.
Five Tails—renowned for its devastating charges—stepped forward without hesitation.
Steam burst from all over its body as it accelerated, then crashed into the rampaging Three Tails.
The spinning spikes on Three Tails' body clashed with the sharp horns of Five Tails, generating a shower of sparks and searing flame.
"Is it under Genjutsu control?"
Simu narrowed his eyes.
He could sense an unfamiliar chakra merged within Three Tails—it wasn't acting of its own will.
"This one's yours."
If all three Tailed Beasts couldn't take down a single berserk Three Tails, they might as well quit and go home.
"Yes, Lord Simu!"
Matatabi didn't waste words and charged directly at Three Tails.
Her massive claw swiped hard at its side.
Not to be left out, Four Tails spewed a torrent of magma from its mouth, surging toward Three Tails.
Sensing danger, Three Tails frantically slammed its tail against the lake's surface.
A towering wall of water erupted upward, blocking the oncoming magma just in time.
The superheated lava quickly cooled under the deluge, turning into heavy stone that sank into the lakebed.
But the assault didn't stop there.
In the steam-filled chaos, Five Tails charged once again, slamming into Three Tails at high speed and sending it flying.
The Mist Shinobi still weren't sure why Three Tails was suddenly attacking them.
But from their perspective, having a Tailed Beast rampaging in their favor was still an advantage.
With Three Tails occupying the others, the Mist Shinobi launched wave after wave of Water Style ninjutsu at the remaining Tailed Beasts.
"Matatabi, Son Goku—you take care of those shinobi. I'll handle Isobu."
"Fine—but don't get yourself killed out there," Four Tails replied bluntly, then turned and sprayed magma across several nearby shinobi, instantly incinerating them.
A vile stench of scorched flesh filled the air.
Matatabi showed no mercy either. Countless dark blue fireballs formed around her body and bombarded the Mist Shinobi ranks.
But these weren't just any ordinary ninja—those who could follow Mizukage Aoya into battle were all seasoned Jōnin-level elites.
Their powerful attacks inflicted serious damage on the Tailed Beasts in return.
Meanwhile, sensing the violent chakra clash, reinforcements from Kirigakure rapidly converged on the battlefield.
Among them—the notorious Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Despite Hanyu Simu's terrifying reputation that shook the entire shinobi world, there wasn't a trace of fear on their faces—only burning desire.
The most eager of them all was Kisame Hoshigaki, known here as the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost.
Grinning, he hoisted Samehada and bared his teeth.
"Hanyu Simu… I bet your chakra's going to be delicious."
Kuriarare Kushimaru, blond hair swaying and mask obscuring his face, spun his long blade excitedly.
"I'm gonna turn him into the perfect puppet!" he shrieked.
Not just them—every member of the Seven had already started fantasizing about how they would deal with Hanyu Simu.
But seeing their reckless bloodlust, Loquat Shizuma's expression turned cold and serious.
"Don't take him lightly. This so-called Golden Flash—kill him here, no matter what!"
By now, the shinobi world had already begun whispering Hanyu Simu's name in the same breath as Senju Hashirama.
Their goal was simple:
Kill this future "God of Shinobi" before he ascended to legend.
Only by crushing someone that powerful could they prove their own strength!
Deep in the forest, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu silently observed the fierce battle from the shadows…
