043 Three Holy Lands

To master Observation Haki, Simu landed outside the Hokage's office window. 

He could sense the number, breaths, and locations of all the Anbu ninjas nearby. 

There were twelve in total, divided into four Anbu teams. 

They were positioned at all the key points where an attack on the Hokage could happen. 

These locations were also the fastest places to notice any changes in the village.

It seemed that the Third Hokage had explained Simu's sudden appearance in advance, as the Anbu ninjas didn't react much. 

The nervousness from their first encounter was gone.

Glancing at the window, the Third Hokage said helplessly, 

"Come in." 

Simu jumped through the window.

As soon as he landed, Minato knocked on the wooden door of the office.

"Hokage-sama, I am Minato."

"Come in."

The Third Hokage glanced at Minato and then at Simu. 

"Simu, can't you be calm like Minato?"

Simu rubbed his head. "This kind of thing doesn't matter." 

He then found a chair and casually propped up his legs.

Minato could only smile awkwardly at the Third Hokage.

Fortunately, over the past year, Third Hokage has gotten used to Simu's unscrupulous style.

He doesn't really care much.

He glanced at the table: "You guys did a good job with Kushina this time."

"Simu's actions this time are very decisive, brave, and made great achievements." Third Hokage praised Simu a few words, and of course did not forget Minato.

"Minato did well too. If you hadn't left marks along the way, the reinforcements might not have arrived so quickly."

Minato smiled, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"No, it's all thanks to Simu."

Seeing the two of them being so modest, Simu grew a little impatien

"Hokage-sama, are you going to give us some kind of reward for our achievements?" 

If there is no reward, he, uncle Hanyu Simu will go first.

Third Hokage crossed his arms; he knew Simu was going to ask that question.

"That's right; I was just about to reward you."

"Because of Kushina's special status, we can't announce this achievement to the outside, so I'll reward you in a different place."

"Just tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Ninja tools or ninjutsu scrolls would be fine."

Considering the great potential shown by Simu and Minato, the Third Hokage was feeling generous. 

After all, they were also his disciples and naturally part of his camp.

Simu scratched his head with his index finger. 

The Third Hokage's rewards were guaranteed to be highly valuable to any ninja. 

After all, the best ways for a ninja to improve their strength are through ninjutsu, taijutsu, and weapons. 

The Third Hokage could help with all of these and provide the best resources from Konoha. 

What could anyone possibly be dissatisfied with?

But Simu was different. He didn't rely on chakra for his strength at all.

He had never used any ninjutsu except the Clone Technique to carry women. 

Even as a weapon, he used the sword of light he created. 

Once he gets the [Ama no Murakumo Sword] in the future, he won't need a weapon at all. 

"Well, Hokage-sama, can I exchange these things for money?" 

"Exchange for money?" 

The Third Hokage's face was filled with surprise.

The Third Hokage thought to himself, 'Good guy, what he has here are all valuable items that money can't buy.'

But he quickly understood Simu's reasoning.

"I can give you 200,000 ryo." 

Of course, 200,000 ryo was definitely not enough to match Simu's contribution this time.

He continued, "Also, since you don't need ninjutsu, you can choose a summoning technique."

"Summoning?" 

Simu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Even though he didn't use ninjutsu himself, having another summoning technique would give him more options, especially from the legendary three holy places.

The Third Hokage pulled out countless scrolls, each containing summoning contracts from various clans—Ninja Dogs, Ninja Cats, Ninja Turtles, Foxes…

Everything he needed was there, but Simu still didn't find what he wanted. 

He looked up at the Third Hokage and said, "I want the contract scroll from Shikotsu Forest." 

The Third Hokage almost spit out his tea. 

"What did you say?" 

With his hands in his pockets, Simu replied lazily, "If there isn't one from Shikotsu Forest, I can take one from the other two holy places instead."

"You kid, you're too ambitious," 

The Third Hokage shook his head.

The three holy places he referred to are Mount Myōboku, associated with Jiraiya's contract; Shikotsu Forest, linked to Tsunade's contract; and Ryūchi Cave, related to Orochimaru's contract.

All three locations have unique methods for practicing Sage Mode, which is why they are known as the three holy places.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru achieved their status as Konoha Sannin largely due to the influence of these three holy places. The Third Hokage gently set down his teacup. 

"I do have the contract scrolls for the three holy places, but not everyone can access them." 

"But only special individuals approved by the owners of the holy lands can receive their contract."
