Chapter 3 It's Scary Uchiha

Simu walked onto the stage, his thoughts drifting casually.

Seeing such a contemptuous attitude from his opponent, Uchiha Hanabi felt his anger flare.

"So it's you, Simu. You better laugh now because you won't be able to later," Hanabi said coldly.

Although he had not yet awakened his Sharingan, he had already mastered several ninjutsu techniques under the training of his family.

After all, the Ninja Academy only taught basic chakra control and the Three Basic Jutsu: Transformation Jutsu, Clone Jutsu, and Substitution Jutsu.

But he had already learned Fire Style ninjutsu. Against a regular student, this would be like an adult bullying a child.

Watching Hanabi's arrogant expression, Simu smirked.

He restrained his laughter and exaggeratedly said, "Oh no, an Uchiha! How terrifying!"

"Hateful!"

Hearing Simu's mocking tone only made Hanabi even more furious.

He was a proud Uchiha, and at his age, being taunted like this was unbearable.

Not just Hanabi—many of the students watching also wanted to punch Simu.

"Don't stop me! I'm going to beat him up!" Kushina roared, ready to charge onto the stage, but Minato quickly held her back.

"This guy is really..." Minato sighed, not knowing what to say.

Although Simu was his friend, he had a talent for making people hate him.

"Damned bastard! I'll show you the true power of the Uchiha clan!" Hanabi shouted, charging straight at Simu.

Simu lazily stretched a hand to scratch his head, looking completely unfazed.

As expected from someone trained in the Uchiha family, Hanabi's fundamentals were solid.

In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance and threw a punch straight at Simu's face.

But Simu...

Instead of dodging, he casually put his other hand back into his trouser pocket.

Then, tilting his body slightly—like a drunk swaying—he effortlessly avoided the punch.

However, Hanabi wasn't that easy to fool.

"He fell for it!"

The punch was a feint—the real attack was coming from below!

Hanabi twisted mid-air, sending a powerful kick toward Simu.

Given Simu's delayed movement, it should have been impossible for him to react in time.

Unfortunately for Hanabi…

Simu was no ordinary student.

With the powerful reflexes he inherited from Kizaru, this level of attack was nothing to him.

A simple sidestep was enough to make Hanabi's kick miss completely.

Not only that—Simu casually reached out, grabbed Hanabi's ankle, spun him in mid-air, and threw him back onto the stage.

"You Uchihas really are as strong as monsters," Simu said, his hands back in his pockets, his tone still as irritating as ever.

"You're pushing it too far!"

To the Uchihas watching from the sidelines, it didn't look like Simu was showing strength—it felt like he was outright humiliating them!

Even some of the Uchiha clan members outside the ring had darkened expressions.

But Simu didn't care.

If he could stir up enough trouble, maybe even Uchiha Madara would come to challenge him one day.

Unable to hold back anymore, Hanabi made his move again.

This time, he threw a barrage of shuriken from both hands.

Although they were wooden training shuriken, they were thrown with enough force to break skin and bones!

Finally, Simu decided to move.

Watching the dense rain of projectiles, he muttered, "This is too scary..."

A cold glint flashed across his sunglasses.

Marine Six Styles: Paper Art.

His body seemed to lose all weight, floating like a feather in the wind.

Shuriken after shuriken zipped past him, but not a single one touched him.

He looked like a thin sheet of paper, swaying with the air currents caused by the incoming projectiles.

Yet no matter how fast or precisely aimed they were—none could hit him!

"What kind of movement technique is that?"

The spectators were baffled.

To them, it looked like Simu wasn't dodging at all—he was just standing there, yet nothing hit him!

But on the Hokage's balcony, Hiruzen's eyes shone with interest.

"This appears to be an advanced form of taijutsu," he murmured.

Danzo, hidden in the shadows, spoke in a low voice. "That boy is dangerous."

Hiruzen nodded slightly but said nothing more.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Simu casually patted his chest.

"That was close! I was almost turned into a pincushion."

Hanabi's face burned red with rage.

How could someone who had been raised believing "Uchiha is the strongest" endure such humiliation?

His hands flicked, and two kunai slipped from his sleeves, landing in his palms.

With a burst of chakra, he dashed toward Simu at full speed.

Furious and humiliated, he thrust his kunai straight at Simu's face.

Simu tilted his head slightly, effortlessly dodging the first strike.

But Hanabi had already anticipated that.

A second kunai shot in from the left!

This time, Simu was forced to take a step back.

Using that brief opening, Hanabi quickly formed a hand seal.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Two identical Hanabis flanked Simu from both sides.

For the first time in the fight, Simu was outnumbered.

"This should be the end," Hanabi sneered.

But Simu simply raised a finger.

Finger Pistol!

With a sudden "boom," one of the Hanabis instantly disappeared into a puff of white smoke.

Before the real Hanabi could react, Simu's foot shot out.

Boom!

A clean kick sent Hanabi flying through the air, slamming him back onto the stage.
