011 Teamwork, Flash of Light

"Is this Wind Style Ninjutsu?" Jiraiya's face was filled with confusion. 

It resembled a Wind Style technique, but Simu hadn't used any hand seals and released it with just his feet. 

Could this be some kind of secret technique unique to him?

Let alone Jiraiya, both Kushina and Minato were stunned.

The two of them who have been around Simu don't know when he has mastered so many strange ninjutsu and taijutsu.

Hearing Jiraiya's question, Simu casually responded, "Teacher, this isn't ninjutsu—it's taijutsu."

"Taijutsu?" Jiraiya nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder Third Hokage took notice of Simu's physical abilities. 

Since Might Dai wasn't famous yet, Konoha hadn't fully grasped the concept of this special taijutsu capable of long-range attacks. 

"I'm going to attack." 

As soon as Simu's words fell, he appeared behind Jiraiya in a flash.

"Use your voice to get my attention and launch a surprise attack?"

Jiraiya, who has experienced many battles, reacted instantly, and blocked Simu's leg with his arm sideways.

Simu said with a wretched smile on his face: "You are a teacher, it's normal for me to be a little clever."

Jiraiya grabbed Simu's leg, took a step back, and threw him high into the air with all his strength. 

Without wasting a second, he formed hand signs, and his white hair extended like branches, shooting toward Simu mid-flight.

Seeing Simu in danger, Kushina quickly threw a few shurikens, but they were effortlessly deflected by Jiraiya's steel-like hair. 

"As expected of Sannin, do you want to use the gap I can't move in midair to attack?"

Simu has no awareness of being in danger at all, and even has the mood to observe the situation.

In a world where aerial capabilities are scarce, this tactic is a good choice.

Alas, Simu's abilities are not of this world.

At the moment when the long hair is about to completely surround it.

He volleyed and stomped on the air.

As if an invisible ladder appeared in the air, Simu jumped directly into the sky, one kick after another.

"How is that possible..." 

Jiraiya, despite his vast experience from traveling across the ninja world, couldn't understand the origin of Simu's strange abilities. 

"This is part of my taijutsu, Jiraiya-sensei" 

Simu called out from high in the air, far beyond the reach of Jiraiya's long hair.

After a moment of shock, Kushina quickly snapped back into action.

Now wasn't the time for shock—Kushina knew she had to create an opening for Simu! 

While Jiraiya focused on Simu, she charged forward with determination. 

The ground beneath her feet sank slightly as she gathered her strength. With a powerful punch, she struck Jiraiya's steel-like hair.

"Boom!"

The ground beneath Jiraiya's feet cracked from the impact.

Jiraiya's silver hair quickly shifted from hard to soft, transforming from a solid wall to a soft, sticky trap. 

Kushina, who had just landed a powerful blow, was caught off guard and sank into it. Jiraiya manipulated the white hair, wrapping Kushina up like a mummy.

High above, Simu seized the moment. He pointed all ten fingers at Jiraiya, calling out, "Finger Pistol: Ten Finger Jade!"

The air from the ten fingertips was condensed into ten air bullets, which hit Jiraiya's white haired defense at the fastest speed.

Jiraiya managed to harden his hair just in time to block most of the air bullets, but one slipped through. 

With no other choice, he raised a kunai to block it. The impact sent sparks flying as the bullet collided with the blade.

In the next moment, Simu stomped in mid-air, disappearing instantly from sight.

Simu used an advanced technique combining Moonwalk and Shave

He maneuver in the air, targeting the gap created by the air bullet. 

"Boom!" 

With incredible speed, his kick struck Jiraiya's silver hair, creating a massive hole.

A kunai shot from Simu's hand, aiming straight at Jiraiya's face. With no time to defend, Jiraiya could only dodge to the side. 

As the kunai whizzed past, a puff of smoke erupted like a blooming flower, revealing a head of blond hair shining like the sun. 

It was Namikaze Minato!

The kunai had been disguised by Namikaze Minato using the Transformation Technique. 

As Minato appeared, he launched an attack at Jiraiya with the kunai stab, making it seem like Jiraiya was in serious trouble. 

However, Jiraiya's lips curled into a slight smile, causing Minato's heart to skip a beat.

He saw Jiraiya step back, and the silver hair that Simu had scattered earlier wrapped around him like a tidal wave. 

Jiraiya had already figured out their plan, knowing that he was luring them in. 

He let go of his silver hair and moved aside, leaving Kushina and Minato trapped inside.

As a result, the three rookies managed to push Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, to his limits through teamwork. 

That was something to be proud of. 

"Boy, you're the last one left. What are you going to do?" Jiraiya asked, looking at Simu as he landed. 

Simu scratched his head, considering whether to throw up his hands in surrender.

Anyway, there was no point in defeating Jiraiya; surrender seemed like the best option. There was no need for weapons. 

Just as he was about to speak, Kushina poked her head out from the sea of hair. 

"Simu, if you beat this old pervert, I'll give you 50,000 Ryo!" 

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then a glimmer of light came to his face.
