Chapter 93: 093 Troublesome Meeting
Hearing Minato's words, both Kushina and Lindy looked at Simu with concern.
"Simu, why don't we leave now? I'll go with you!" Kushina said, her eyes filled with determination.
Lindy nodded firmly. "I'll go with you too!"
"Leave?" Simu asked calmly as he slowly put on his coat of justice.
With a composed expression, he continued,
"Why should I leave?"
"Have I broken Konoha's laws?"
"Is it wrong to killed foreign ninjas during a mission?"
"Or has Konoha become some kind of untouchable saint?"
His tone grew colder with each word.
He sneered, "I'm not leaving today. Let's see what they can do to me."
With that, he turned and walked toward the door.
"Simu, what are you doing?" Minato asked anxiously.
Without looking back, Simu replied calmly, "I'm going to see how those old fools plan to deal with me."
His tone was steady, but a chilling killing intent lurked beneath the calm.
Simu knew Konoha's leadership was often absurd, but when their absurdity targeted him, he wouldn't tolerate it.
He wasn't Hatake Sakumo, silently enduring disgrace.
Nor would he be like Hyuga Hizashi, quietly accepting an unjust fate.
"I'm coming with you!" Kushina declared without hesitation, following him.
Lindy immediately did the same.
The two stood by his side, like unwavering guardians, one on his left and the other on his right.
Simu smiled and reassured them:
"Don't worry, you two. Those so-called high-ranking officials, as rotten as they are, can't do anything to me."
He added with a calm tone, "If you come along, you'll only hold me back. Go home and wait for me."
Kushina thought for a moment and realized he was right.
"With the two of us, we'd only be a burden to Simu if we went."
She sighed and said, "Alright, but you have to come back alive."
Placing her hands on his cheeks, she kissed him deeply.
As for Lindy, she didn't overthink it. Her trust in Simu was absolute.
Whatever he said, she believed without question.
Even if it meant sacrificing her life, she wouldn't hesitate.
Simu gently stroked Kushina's scarlet hair before turning to Lindy with a smirk.
"And you? Aren't you going to kiss me too?"
Lindy's face turned bright red in an instant.
Kushina snorted coldly but, surprisingly, didn't object this time.
Blushing deeply, Lindy shyly leaned in and planted a kiss on Simu's cheek.
The Anbu ninjas, sent by the higher-ups to monitor Simu, were left speechless.
So not only was this guy terrifyingly strong, but he was also ridiculously good at charming women.
How annoying!
After receiving both kisses, Simu finally waved his hand with a satisfied grin.
"Don't worry, just wait for the good news."
With his hands in his pockets, Simu walked toward the Hokage building under the watchful eyes of countless Anbu.
His coat fluttered in the wind behind him, revealing the faintly visible word "Justice."
Minato watched Simu's calm and carefree demeanor and sighed.
This guy is just... something else.
Without wasting time, Minato disappeared, determined to find Jiraiya. As one of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya might be able to help.
When Simu arrived, the Hokage building was already abuzz with activity.
At the entrance, an Anbu ninja stood guard, staring intently down the road.
In total, ten Anbu, including those hidden nearby, were monitoring Simu's every move.
To Simu's surprise, he saw a familiar figure—Uchiha Mikoto!
At that moment, she was arguing with the guards outside the Hokage building.
"Let me in!" Mikoto shouted anxiously.
But the two Anbu ninjas remained unmoved, their eyes cold beneath their masks.
"Apologies, but the Hokage has ordered that unauthorized individuals are not allowed to enter," one of them said flatly.
Unable to force her way in, Mikoto had no choice but to take a stand outside.
Planting herself in front of the Hokage building, she raised her voice and yelled:
"Simu killed for Konoha's mission!"
"If you hand over Simu like this, Konoha will show itself to be heartless and ungrateful!"
"No virtue, no honor!"
"What ninja will dare to take on missions for Konoha in the future?"
"How will clients ever trust such a cold and ruthless village?"
Her words struck a nerve, each one filled with righteous indignation.
Hearing the commotion, a large number of villagers gathered curiously.
They could sense something big was happening, though they didn't know the full story.
As Mikoto passionately explained the situation, the crowd gradually pieced it together:
Simu had killed the heir of a noble enemy during a mission for Konoha, and now Konoha planned to hand him over to appease the enemy's anger.
Rumors quickly spread like wildfire.
Simu couldn't help but chuckle.
He never expected the gentle and virtuous Uchiha Mikoto to show such a fiery and determined side.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage building, Uchiha Suzuki, the head of the Uchiha clan, watched his daughter crying below.
A wave of pain swept over him for the third time.
As he observed her unwavering passion, he couldn't help but wonder if being so emotionally driven was a blessing or a curse for someone of the Uchiha clan.
From the crowd, a tall figure in a coat of justice emerged, walking slowly.
"Excuse me, coming through..."
Simu squeezed his way out of the crowd and gently placed a hand on Mikoto's head.
"Thanks for your trouble,"
Mikoto froze for a moment before her face turned slightly red.
"N-No, you're welcome!"
Simu turned and walked calmly toward the Hokage building.
Two Anbu ninjas stepped forward, raising their hands to block him.
"The Hokage has ordered that unauthorized individuals are not allowed to enter"
Simu adjusted his glasses and asked, "Do you even know what they were arguing about?"
The two Anbu ninjas fell silent, unable to respond.
Simu pointed to himself and said,
"They're arguing about whether to hand me over to the enemy as an apology, and you call me unauthorized at a time like this?"
He took a step closer, his tone suddenly turning serious.
"Move aside!"
The two ninjas remained motionless, their silence defiant.
Simu chuckled coldly.
"So it's those two old geezers behind this, huh?"
Before the Anbu could react, Simu vanished and reappeared between them.
With a single punch for each, he sent them flying, smashing through the walls of the Hokage building.
The commotion brought an abrupt silence to the meeting room inside.
"What's going on?"
Mitokado Homura looked out suspiciously.
Danzo's gaze darkened as he followed Homura's attention.
The Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke, as if he had already guessed what was happening.
Sure enough, Simu suddenly appeared outside the window.
He knocked lightly on the glass.
"Moshi, Moshi, may I come in?"
Before anyone could respond, Simu opened the window and jumped inside.
He casually sat on the windowsill, nodding towards Uchiha Suzuki, who was seated closest to him.
"It's really scary, there are so many clan leaders here, what a big gathering." Simu said casually.
The entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone stared at Simu in surprise, as if a monkey had suddenly walked into a corporate board meeting filled with executives in suits.
Noticing the silence, Simu kicked his feet up and relaxed.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. We were having a nice chat just a moment ago"
"Go ahead! Don't let my presence throw you off."
His casual demeanor made the Hokage's high-level meeting feel more like his own living room.
Simu's nearly defiant behavior left everyone speechless.
Here's a polished and simplified version of your text:
Mitokado Homura immediately scolded,
"Hanyu Simu, do you understand what you've done? Do you realize how much trouble you've brought to Konoha?"
Simu lazily rested his hand on his face and yawned.
"Of course I know. Didn't I just kill the son of a noble during the mission?"
The room fell silent once more.
Even the Third Hokage was at a loss for words.
Mitokado Homura's chest heaved with frustration.
"You know he was the son of the Wind Daimyo! Did you kill him to start a war between the Country of Wind and the Country of Fire?"
Simu tilted his head slightly, locking eyes with Mitokado Homura.
"I killed him," Simu said calmly.
Mitokado Homura froze, unsure how to react.
The room was completely silent again, despite the earlier quarrels. The tension was thick as Simu's words hung in the air.
"You... you... what did you say?"
Mitokado Homura's chest heaved with anger and disbelief.
"I said I Killed Him!"
Simu casually picked his nose, flicked the booger away, and added,
"Did you hear me clearly? If not, I'll say it again."
"I K.i.l.l.e.d Him!"
In a flash, Simu teleported to Mitokado Homura, squatting on the table, staring the old man down
"Don't give me a lecture. We're all ninjas. Why can't I kill him?"
"He wanted to go to the battlefield himself, so he deserved to die!"
"If you're not happy, I'll lock you in a cage with the Wind Country Daimyo and let him deal with you. What will you do then?"
Simu's words, aimed at Mitokado Homura, made him so angry he looked like he might explode at any moment.
"You... you... you're being outrageous!"
Simu sneered coldly.
"I'm outrageous? No, I think you are outrageous."
"A so-called 'loyal official' who would harm Konoha just to fight for power and gain."
"The one who should be executed is someone like you—short-sighted, stubborn, and only good at talking!"
Simu's words didn't just scold Mitokado Homura; they also hit Utatane Koharu hard.
The taunts were sharp and loud.
Many of the Jōnin present began to look at Simu with new seriousness.
Regardless of how things turned out, it was impressive that he dared to speak out like this.
"Presumptuous! Take him down!"
Unlike Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu remained calm.
Her two ninjas moved quickly to restrain Simu.
But Simu was faster.
The moment Koharu spoke, he already sensed their intentions with his Observation Haki.
Simu stepped on the table with both feet, grabbing the heads of the two ninjas and slamming them into the wall.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the two ninjas, loyal to Utatane Koharu for years, were killed by Simu.
"That was close," Simu said, turning to look at Koharu.
"If i'd been a moment slower, i'd be dead, and the advisor would have silenced me, then tossed my body out to calm the public."
Simu casually placed his hands in his pockets and turned away.
Simu still wanted to speak, but the Third Hokage cut her off.
"Enough!"
"This is the Hokage building, not a marketplace!"
Simu looked up, locking eyes with the Third Hokage.
Simu said calmly,
"Hokage-sama, I'm not like Hatake Sakumo, who would take his own life over suspicion or rumors."
The Third Hokage's pupils shrank at these words.
Simu's statement carried several meanings:
He had the same strength as Hatake Sakumo, if not more.He would not sacrifice himself for the village.If the village insisted on handing him over, it would only lead to one outcome—a powerful renegade in Konoha's future.
"What do you want?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.
"If they want war, then let's have war."
"If Konoha, the supposed overlord of the ninja world, only backs down and compromises when threatened, then what's the point?"
"The one who died yesterday could have been Hatake Sakumo. Today, it's Hanyu Simu they want to hand over."
"What about tomorrow? The Hyuga Clan? The Uchiha Clan? The Akamichi Clan?"
"Can Konoha just give in to whoever demands it?"
"Where the leaves of the tree fall, the tree's life continues."
Simu looked at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
"Is this how you so-called 'great trees' burn yourselves to protect the new shoots?"
"Or do you simply discard them to nourish the tree?"
Simu scoffed.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were left speechless.
The main reason they were stunned was that they never expected Simu to act like this—so defenseless.
The Third Hokage remained silent.
The Fire Country's daimyo envoy, sitting on the side, spoke up,
"Hokage-sama, this is the daimyo's request."
He meant that the daimyo wanted Simu handed over. If Konoha refused...
Simu turned to look at the messenger.
A chill ran through the messenger's body.
It felt like the person in front of him wasn't human, but a wild beast.
Suddenly, there was noise outside.
A team of men in white trench coats arrived at the Hokage building.
They were the messengers from the country of Wind.
Before entering, the lead emissary shouted,
"If Konoha doesn't give an explanation to the country of Wind today, we will declare war on the country of Fire!"
These words caused many to change their expressions, including the Third Hokage.
It was a clear slap in the face to Konoha.
Simu smiled slightly,
"Since you can't make a decision, let me help you decide."
