But for the glory of Uchiha, Uchiha Hikari obviously does not intend to stop there.
As he flew through the air, he quickly formed hand seals.
It worked!
Unexpectedly, forming the seals was usually difficult for him, but he managed to do it smoothly under these conditions.
"Asshole, I'll show you Uchiha's true power!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"What?!"
The audience nearby stared wide-eyed.
They didn't expect that a student who hadn't even graduated could master Fire Style ninjutsu.
Kushina anxiously grabbed the corner of Minato's clothes, her eyes filled with concern for Simu.
The glow of the fire illuminated everyone's faces.
"Don't worry, this attack won't do much to Simu,"
Namikaze Minato said confidently.
The Uchiha next to him smirked dismissively. "The Great Fireball Technique can be blocked by that brat."
"What an arrogant guy," Another Uchiha added.
The two Uchiha Ninja wore expressions of smugness, feeling assured in their stance.
Let's prove that we Uchiha are the strongest in this village!
The Third Hokage watched the battle with intense focus.
A massive fireball was forming, its scorching flames distorting the air around it.
With terrifying energy, it descended toward the arena like a comet.
Right below it was the motionless Simu!
The teacher from Class No. 1 stood nearby, ready to step in at a moment's notice.
As soon as Simu signaled his surrender, the teacher would quickly take him away.
But despite the red flames dancing wildly on Simu's face, he remained indifferent.
"Is this guy scared stupid?" someone below mocked.
Just as the fireball was about to hit, Simu remarked,
"It's like a monster."
The flaming fireball crashed down, filling the entire arena with powerful explosions and flames.
The shockwave from the blast surged toward the audience.
But the blast was blocked by the barrier created by the surrounding ninjas responsible for maintaining order during the match.
"How's Simu?!"
Kushina asked anxiously as she watched the scene happened.
Although she didn't interact with Simu much during the week, she still didn't want anything to happen to him.
In mid-air, Uchiha Hikari, thinking everything was over, wiped the corner of his mouth as he slowly descended under the pull of gravity.
Just as he was about to receive applause, a teasing voice rang in his ear.
"That was terrible, you little devil of the Uchiha clan."
To everyone's shock, Simu had actually appeared behind Uchiha Hikari.
"How can that be?!"
The Uchiha clan ninjas were stunned.
Even though they were only Chūnin and had gone to the battlefield, they had not seen any trace of Simu's movement just moments ago.
Uchiha Hikari's face went pale.
Simu leaned in close and said, "Did you know that speed is power?"
Then he dropped his long legs down hard, sending Uchiha Hikari tumbling into the pit created by the fireball!
A cloud of smoke and dust filled the arena, and silence fell all around.
No one expected that the seemingly careless student had hidden such terrifying strength.
Facing Uchiha Hikari, the proud son of heaven, Simu handled him as easily as if he were playing a game.
"The battle is over! Hanyu Simu wins!"
The teacher from Class No. 1 quickly stopped the fight and took Uchiha Hikari away for treatment.
"Simu, when did he become so strong?"
Kushina said in disbelief.
While she knew Simu was powerful, she hadn't expected him to be this strong!
The entire battle was seamless, and his moves left everyone confused about how he did it.
"As expected of you, Simu."
Namikaze Minato watched Simu on the field with intense eyes, filled with fighting spirit.
Despite his calm personality, he couldn't help but want to compete with Simu, especially after seeing the speed displayed in that last move.
It made him, who is also good in speed, feel a bit ashamed.
"Those boy's physical techniques are interesting,"
Shimura Danzō said hoarsely from the shadows, like a predator eyeing its prey.
The Third Hokage tightened his lips and issued a serious warning.
"Without my permission, you are not allowed to think about this child,"
The Third Hokage said firmly. Danzo, not intending to defy the Hokage, simply replied,
"There will be a chance."
After a long silence, warm cheers erupted from the crowd.
However, these were just cheers for the moment.
There are not many people like Minato who have the qualifications to be a Hokage.
After all, describing Simu's image was quite really hard .
However, Simu didn't think it was a big deal.
Standing with his hands in his pockets, he called out,
"Lord Hokage, am I number one today?"
"If not, I can keep fighting."
