Konoha, Just Like Kizaru

After finishing off the rebels with thunder, Simu officially announced his arrival to the Land of Earth.

In order to command this battle, Lindy was also recruited by Simu.

After all, Simu himself has no concept of large-scale warfare.

And Lindy has grown a lot since the previous battle on Kikyo Mountain.

She has been learning all kinds of knowledge about combat by her father's side, and now is just the time to test her ability.

Before the battle, Simu summoned all the Konoha executives for this battle.

The main one is Simu who is the commander.

Minato and Kato Dan as lieutenants.

And military advisor Lindy.

At this time, Lindy was pointing at the map and said:

"According to the information collected by Anbu, there are at least 3,000 Iwa Shinobi gathering in the Land of Grass."

"What we need to do now is to take down the Land of Grass as quickly as possible before the Iwagakure reacts.

Minato stared at the map, frowning slightly.

"After all, we have traveled a long distance, and it may be disadvantageous to start a war rashly."

"If I recall correctly, Konoha's supply convoy hasn't reached the battlefield yet.. If we are held back in the country of grass, the situation will be very passive."

Because it happened suddenly.

Therefore, the ninja troops led by Simu arrived at the battlefield with only enough supplies for half a month.

The follow-up material troops have not yet set off.

Hearing that Lindy didn't speak, she turned his attention to the commander this time, Hanyu simu 

Simu pushed his glasses.

"Minato, this time we have no supplies."

"What?"

Minato and Kato Dan became serious instantly, their faces full of disbelief.

Without supplies, are they supposed to defeat a big country with half a month's worth of food?

Simu explained calmly, "Konoha's material reserves are nearly exhausted, and we don't have enough to sustain a full-scale war. Third Hokage wants us to make a quick decision."

Minato and the others immediately understood the weight of the situation. 

The strained relationship with the Fire Country's Daimyos over the years only added to the pressure.

"What's your plan?" Kato Dan asked seriously.

Simu remained silent, and instead, Lindy spoke up.

"We need to take the initiative," she said, pointing to the Land of Grass on the map. 

"We have two sharp blades—Simu and Minato. Together, we can defeat the 3,000 ninjas in the Land of Grass before Rock Shinobi can respond."

Her finger moved across the map and landed on a bridge in the Land of Earth.

"This is the Kannabi Bridge. It's where Rock Shinobi plans to deploy troops to the Land of Grass. If we destroy it, their reinforcements will be cut off."

"Then here..." 

Lindy traced a large circle, covering the entire Land of Grass and its border with the Land of Earth. "There are 6,000 Rock Shinobi troops here, making it a key target."

Everyone looked at Lindy with admiration. They hadn't expected such a bold strategy from someone so young. 

Though risky, if successful, it would deal a major blow to Rock Shinobi's morale.

"I'll take on the task of destroying the Kannabi Bridge," Minato volunteered.

Simu studied the map, his gaze lingering on the bridge. He recalled that in the original timeline, Obito was ambushed here and almost died, later being taken by White Zetsu.

That made it clear: he couldn't allow events to unfold as Uchiha Madara had planned.

Simu looked at Minato and said seriously, "Let me handle it."

Lindy quickly objected, "Simu, you're the main commander. If something happens to you..."

Simu waved his hand, reassuring them. "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Minato can't destroy it alone. Only my technique can."

These words silenced everyone.

The Kannabi Bridge was different from the Nagawa Bridge on Mount Kikyo. It was a massive structure, built by Rock Shinobi's strongest ninjas. 

It wasn't just a bridge; it was more like a giant mountain spanning the canyon.

In the original timeline, Konoha lost an entire army before finally destroying it.

Simu, however, didn't need that kind of sacrifice. With his power, he could destroy it easily with a single [Sage Art: Nuclear Bomb].

No one was more suited for the task than Simu.

While the others hesitated, Simu made the final decision. "That's settled. Everyone, prepare for the raid on the Country of Grass tonight."

Night fell.

Between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, life in the Country of Grass was tough.

At this moment, Kiichiro, the leader of Kusanagi Village, stood anxiously on a high point, looking out over his village.

"Are you worried about the Konoha troops arriving today, Chief Kiichiro?" A Rock Shinobi appeared behind him.

The war was being led by Rock Shinobi Village.

"Are those traitors already wiped out?" Kiichiro suddenly asked.

Kitsutchi, a high-ranking Rock Shinobi, nodded, his tone laced with disdain.

"It's just some rabble, if Konoha can't even deal with this kind of thing, it will be really surprising.

Kiichiro looked at Kitsuchi seriously. "Are you confident in this mission?"

Without hesitation, Kitsutchi replied, "If Iwagakure faces Konoha alone, we would definitely lose. However, Konoha's golden flash killed the Kazekage of the Sunagakure two years ago. Do you think they'll just stand by now?" 

"No matter how powerful Konoha is, they can't handle the pincer attack from two great nation at once."

Kiichiro said nothing more.

His eyes fell across the night and fell on the huge raised earthen platforms and city walls everywhere.

In order to prepare for this war, the ninjas of Iwa Shinobi Village built a solid defense system in the Kusagakure.

Earth platforms tens of meters high extend out from the ground.

Between each platform are connected thick walls.

If the enemy wants to attack Kusagakure, they must cross these walls or earthen platforms. 

But as soon as anyone makes contact with them, Iwa Shinobi will notice and respond with an immediate strike.

To ensure a swift victory, Kitsuchi didn't commit all of his forces at once. Instead, he sent the most elite two thousand ninjas to infiltrate the Kusagakure.

Simu, with his hands in his pockets and a two-meter-high mace beside him, observed the scene. 

"These earth platforms... is this the proudest technique of Iwa Shinobi Village?"

Lindy stood next to Simu and explained, "These earth platforms act like nodes. If Iwa Shinobi injects Chakra into them, the walls can regenerate endlessly."

Simu nodded. "You want me to destroy these platforms in one attack, right?"

Lindy smiled. "Exactly."

If the platforms aren't destroyed, Konoha's forces would be forced to face an unending series of walls as they advance, eventually leading to their defeat under the constant pressure.

There are twelve earthen platforms surrounding Kusagakure Village. Simu took a deep breath and activated his Observation Haki, casting it out like a net. 

He quickly pinpointed the most suitable path.

On this straight line, there were six platforms in total.

"This is the one," Simu muttered to himself, exhaling deeply. 

Thunder crackled around him as he gripped his mace firmly.

A loud roar instantly resounded throughout the night sky.

The thick purple thunder fell from the sky, coiling around Simu like a python. The mace was enveloped in his strongest Armament Haki.

He pointed in the direction of Kusanagi Village, and swung the mace in his hand like a baseball player.

Flashing thunder wraps around Armament Haki and surges out!

"Mighty Country!"

The entire night sky was illuminated by dark purple thunder.

As the first thunderclap echoed, the ninjas stationed on the platforms realized something was wrong, but it was already too late.

A huge thunderbolt erupted from the distant forest, surging like an unstoppable tidal wave of destruction. 

It crashed into Iwa Shinobi's defensive line with overwhelming force.

"Enemy attack!" 

The sentry guards shouted desperately

They immediately used Earth Style ninjutsu to raise dense walls from the ground, trying to stop this terrifying attack.

However, this combined strike of the Two Four Emperors of the Pirate World was far beyond what these Iwa Shinobi could withstand.

The massive shock wave crushed the walls effortlessly, barely slowing its momentum.

It barreled forward and slammed into the towering earthen platform.

"Boom!"

Lightning engulfed the entire structure, its bright glow revealing the platform as it crumbled into a blackened shadow before vanishing entirely.

One by one, the second, third, and fourth platforms met the same fate, disintegrating under the relentless impact.

By the time the destructive force finally weakened, it had destroyed five of the earthen platforms.

"Damn it," Kitsutchi muttered, his face illuminated by the flickering thunder.

Standing firm on the final platform in the attack's path, he quickly formed hand seals and shouted coldly:

"Earth Style: Earth Dome Mountain!"

A massive mountain of solid rock erupted from the ground, shielding the platform and finally halting the raging thunder in its tracks…

Between Kitsutchi and Simu, a massive ravine stretched thousands of meters long and 50 to 60 meters wide.

At its center lay five shattered and crumbling earth platforms—remnants of the once-proud Iwa Shinobi defense technique.

This made Kitsutchi tremble with anger.

Meanwhile, the two thousand Konoha Shinobi hidden in the woods seized the moment.

At Simu's command, they charged onto the battlefield in full force.

Ninjutsu of all kinds lit up the battlefield, chaos erupting as the fight intensified.

Rock Shinobi's famed defensive line, though formidable, had been torn apart by Simu's devastating strike.

While the Rock Shinobi could rebuild, it would take precious time, leaving them vulnerable.

For now, they relied on Earth Style ninjutsu to fend off the relentless Konoha assault.

"Summoning Technique!"

In the center of the battlefield, two huge Summoning beasts appeared. 

As always, one of the summoned beasts was Katsuyu Sage, summoned to assist.

It swiftly split into countless smaller versions, landing on the shoulders of Konoha Shinobi to heal their wounds.

The other was the Two-Tailed Matatabi.

"Capture the leader to end the fight! Let's go, Two-Tails!" Simu commanded.

"Understood!" Matatabi roared.

With tremendous power, its four legs pushed off the ground, propelling it high into the air.

Under the stunned gazes of both allies and enemies, Matatabi landed in the center of Kusagakure with a thunderous crash.

"You heard it—Hanyu Simu is here!" Simu declared as he leaped off Matatabi's back.

The enormous mace, weighing a thousand catties, followed, slamming down with immense force.

"Raimei Hakke!"

A massive burst of thunder erupted from Simu's hand, forming an electrified grid that spanned tens of meters around him.

"Boom!"

The surrounding ninjas were instantly obliterated by the devastating impact.

Simu's mace struck the ground with overwhelming force, shattering it into countless fragments and sending a towering column of smoke into the air.

"Is this really Konoha's Golden Flash...?"

Both Rock Shinobi and Kusanagi stared at Simu in utter disbelief.

The Simu described in their intelligence reports was a master of speed and light-based techniques, known for his carefree demeanor.

But the man before them, wielding a huge mace with raw power, was nothing like they expected.

While thinking, Kitsuchi finished off his enemy nearby.

With a powerful leap and another hammer blow, he ended the lives of another dozen enemies in an instant.

This immense power was truly intimidating.

However, Iwagakure's Jōnin wouldn't allow Simu to run wild unchecked.

"Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld!"

The ground beneath Simu's feet turned into a muddy swam, trapping him momentarily.

Another Rock Shinobi quickly formed hand seals.

 "Earth Style: Earth Whale!"

 With a powerful strike to the ground, a massive rock formation rose, surging upward like a colossal whale breaching the ocean, aiming to crush Simu.

Simu sighed. "Such a drag."

Electric arcs danced along the length of his mace.

"Raimei Hakke!"

"Boom!"

The massive stone whale shattered into rubble under the devastating strike, reduced to dust in an instant.

Simu plunged his mace into the ground, letting the fragments of shattered rock rain down around him. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared behind the Iwa Shinobi Jōnin.

"Have you ever been kicked by the speed of light?"

The mocking tone sent a chill down the Jōnin's spine, and panic set in.

"Earth Style: Rock Skin!"

His body was instantly encased in gray-white stone, forming a protective shell.

But against Simu, this defense was meaningless.

"Light-Speed Kick!"

With a flash, Simu's kick obliterated the Jōnin's defense, leaving him defeated in an instant.

Simu turned his gaze to the approaching Iwa Shinobi reinforcements and murmured softly:

"It's getting late... time to end this."
