Konoha, Just Like Kizaru

As dusk settled in, the Third Hokage sat in his office, the flickering light of his pipe casting shadows around him. 

A figure appeared at the doorway, wearing a fox mask adorned with red patterns. 

He knelt down and said, "Lord Hokage."

"What happened?" the Third Hokage asked, glancing toward the ominous shadows of the Forest of Death.

Of course he also noticed the huge movement caused by Simu a moment ago. 

The Anbu members were silent for a moment, seemingly pondering how to explain the situation.

"Jiraiya-san just fought his student, Simu".

The Third Hokage raised his eyebrows. "That little guy is so powerful? How could he force Jiraiya into such a serious fight?" 

As Jiraiya's teacher, he understood Jiraiya's abilities better than anyone.

In the ninja world, whether it's Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, or Sealing Techniques, Jiraiya is among the best. 

After all, Hanzō of the Salamander himself referred to them as the Konoha Sannin. 

Simu must have unleashed unimaginable strength to make Jiraiya create such a commotion, and the Third Hokage understood this.

The Anbu members hesitated, not wanting to contradict their leader. 

But as members of Anbu, they knew they had to speak the truth.

"The explosion just now was caused by Hanyu Simu."

"Really?" The Third Hokage's eyes widened in surprise.

While he recognized Simu's potential and strength—believing that with proper training, he could grow into a second Hatake Sakumo—he couldn't believe that a recent ninja school graduate could perform such powerful ninjutsu.

"What happened?" the Third Hokage asked.

The Anbu reported the details of the fight between Jiraiya and Simu. 

The Hokage took a deep drag on his cigarette, one thought racing through his mind: this child is terrifying!

However, he quickly made up his mind. 

Since Simu is a genius, he must be nurtured and be trained in blood

"Continue to protect Simu and keep what happened today a secret. No one should know about him." 

"Understood." 

The Anbu members vanished, leaving the Third Hokage alone in his office, deep in thought. 

Although he was Hokage, the nominal supreme leader of Konoha, he knew that the village was not entirely under his control. 

He was merely a figurehead supported by various factions, and the forces within the village were complex and intertwined.

For example, there's Danzo, who controls the Roots, and advisors like Utatane Koharu, who have the backing of many veteran Jōnin.

Not to mention the major ninja clans—Uchiha, Hyuga, and Yamanaka—whose influence cannot be overlooked. 

Even in the capital of the Land of Fire, the daimyo has placed his own forces in the village, constantly affecting Konoha's political landscape.

During the war, these factions were able to unite against external threats. 

However, once the war ended and new interests emerged, Konoha began to experience internal turmoil.

As Hokage, he must work to unify the forces he can bring together. 

For example, he can use my position to plant the seeds of loyalty in the hearts of fresh graduates, drawing them into Hokage camp.

...

"What did you say your last attack was?" 

Jiraiya asked curiously from the booth in the barbecue restaurant.

"Light Release," Simu replied. 

Since he had already used it, he decided to be open and casually made up a new term.

"Light Release?" 

Jiraiya rubbed his chin, questioning the ninjutsu knowledge he had learned over the years.

"Is there such a bloodline limit in the ninja world?" 

Minato and Kushina looked confused. They didn't understand what Jiraiya didn't know.

Simu, feeling full, lay back in his chair and said seriously, "This might be my newly created evasion technique. It's probably a combination of fire, thunder, and wind attributes."

Jiraiya shot Simu with a suspicious look. 

Although he didn't truly believe the kid's nonsense, he couldn't come up with a better explanation.

It was Minato who seemed deep in thought.

"So, what are you talking about?" 

Kushina asked blindly.

Why do the three of them seem to understand everything, but she is the only one who confused here?

Noticing her puzzled expression, Minato explained, "Ninja chakra has specific attributes. The most common ones are fire, water, wind, thunder, and earth."

He continued, "In addition, there are two other attributes: yin and yang. For example, the Akamichi clan's Expansion Jutsu and the Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique."

"But some ninjas have special attributes due to their bloodlines or other factors," 

"These special attributes are often a combination of two basic ones. For example, the First Hokage's Wood Style is made up of water and earth attributes."

"This situation is called Kekkai Genkai. Additionally, certain unique organs are also part of Kekkai Genkai, like the Uchiha clan's Sharingan and the Hyuga clan's Byakugan."

After hearing this, Kushina had a new question. "But didn't Simu say his technique is made up of three attributes?"

Minato looked at Simu and nodded with a smile.

"That's right. In addition to two-attribute combinations, there is also a more powerful three-attribute combination."

"This new bloodline limit technique is called Kekkai Tota."

"It's an even more terrifying existence than Kekkai Genkai."
