Naruto: With the Right Pay, Kick Out the Five Kage

"Is this Wind Style Ninjutsu?"

Jiraiya's face was full of doubt.

This move looked somewhat like Wind Style Ninjutsu, but Simu clearly didn't form any hand seals—he had released it with his feet.

Could it be his own seal-less jutsu?

Not just Jiraiya, even Kushina and Minato were stunned.

Despite spending so much time around Simu, neither of them had any idea when he had mastered such bizarre ninjutsu and taijutsu.

Hearing Jiraiya's question, Simu answered bluntly,

"Sensei, this isn't ninjutsu—it's taijutsu."

"Taijutsu?"

Jiraiya nodded slightly.

No wonder the Third Hokage had told him to pay close attention to Simu's physical skills.

However, since Might Dai wasn't well-known yet, Konoha at this time had no understanding of this unique taijutsu style that could launch long-range attacks.

"I'm attacking now."

The moment Simu spoke, his figure appeared behind Jiraiya in an instant.

"Using your voice to grab my attention and then launching a surprise attack?"

A battle-hardened ninja like Jiraiya reacted immediately, turning his arm sideways to block Simu's kick.

Simu grinned mischievously.

"You're my teacher, so it's only natural for me to use a little trickery."

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

Immediately afterward, he swiftly formed hand seals, causing his white hair to grow wildly like tree branches, shooting toward Simu in midair.

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

"As expected of one of the Sannin, you're using my inability to move in midair to launch an attack?"

Despite the perilous situation, Simu showed no sign of panic—he even had the leisure to analyze Jiraiya's strategy.

In a world where aerial mobility was rare, this tactic was indeed a solid choice.

Unfortunately for Jiraiya, Simu's abilities didn't belong to this world.

Just as the long strands of hair were about to completely encircle him, he stomped midair—

As if an invisible staircase had appeared beneath his feet, Simu suddenly leaped even higher into the sky, kicking off the air multiple times.

"How is that possible…?"

Even someone as well-traveled as Jiraiya, who had ventured across the ninja world, couldn't comprehend Simu's strange abilities.

"This is also part of taijutsu, Jiraiya-sensei," Simu said casually, hovering in the sky.

At this height, Jiraiya's long hair could no longer reach him.

Kushina, though momentarily stunned, reacted quickly.

Now was not the time to be shocked—she needed to create an opening for Simu!

While Jiraiya was focused on Simu, she launched forward, her foot pressing down hard enough to crack the ground beneath her.

A terrifying force exploded from her fist, slamming directly into Jiraiya's steel-like hair.

Boom!

The ground beneath Jiraiya split apart.

His silver hair, once as hard as steel, instantly softened like a swamp.

Having exerted her full strength, Kushina found herself momentarily trapped within the tangled strands.

Jiraiya manipulated his hair to completely bind Kushina, wrapping her up like a mummy.

From high above, Simu seized the opportunity. He extended his ten fingers and locked onto Jiraiya.

"Finger Pistol: Ten Finger Bullets!"

Compressed air bullets shot out from all ten fingertips at an incredible speed, hurtling toward Jiraiya's hair defense.

Jiraiya swiftly hardened his hair again, blocking most of the bullets, but one managed to slip through, heading straight for him.

With no time to dodge, he raised a kunai to deflect the incoming projectile.

The bullet struck the kunai, sending sparks flying.

Meanwhile, Simu stomped midair once again—

His entire figure vanished in an instant.

[Moonwalk] + [Shave]—Advanced Application.

Spinning rapidly, he delivered a powerful kick right at the weak spot the air bullet had created.

Boom!

With sheer force and momentum, Simu's kick tore a massive hole through Jiraiya's hair defense.

A kunai shot toward Jiraiya's face.

It was too late to block—his only option was to dodge.

As the kunai barely grazed past him, it suddenly emitted a puff of smoke—

A head of bright blonde hair was revealed.

It was Namikaze Minato!

The kunai had actually been Minato disguised using the Transformation Jutsu!

The moment Minato appeared, he held his kunai firmly and slashed toward Jiraiya.

It looked as if Jiraiya was about to lose.

However, at that very moment, the corners of his lips curled up into a smirk.

Minato's heart skipped a beat.

Jiraiya suddenly took a step back.

The silver hair that had been dispersed by Simu just moments ago surged back like a massive tide, swallowing them whole!

Jiraiya had already seen through their plan.

He had been leading them into a trap all along!

Kushina and Minato were both ensnared in his steel-like hair.

Jiraiya took a step forward, brushing off his silver strands as he walked.

Despite their efforts, these three rookies had actually managed to force Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, to this extent.

That alone was something to be proud of.

"Well then, kid—you're the only one left. What's your move?"

Jiraiya smirked, looking at Simu, who had just landed.

Simu scratched his head, already considering surrender.

After all, there was no real benefit in defeating Jiraiya.

Just as he was about to admit defeat—

Kushina finally managed to poke her head out from the sea of hair.

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

Jiraiya froze for a moment.

Then, he saw a light.
