Konoha, Just Like Kizaru

Chapter 66: 066 Jounin Exam, End of Round 1



The power of the seal on the talisman pulled at Two-Tails, making it struggle unwillingly.

It slammed its claws into the ground, not trying to escape, but aiming to strike Simu one last time before being sealed again.

Countless mantras wrapped around Two-Tails like chains, and with the help of several Kumo Shinobi Jōnin, they finally managed to reseal Two-Tails back into its host.

Due to the corruption of the Tailed Beast Chakra, after resealing, the surface of the Yugito Nii body was scorched, looking terrible.

The ground around it was torn open with several deep, ugly gashes, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Jiraiya and Tsunade rushed to the scene, searching for Simu. 

They hadn't expected the Two-Tails' hatred for him to reach such a level.

Two-Tails would rather endure Admiral Mifune's strike than be sealed again, all to hold on to their hatred for Simu.

Jiraiya gave Doe a cold glare. 

He was sure Doe had purposely delayed earlier, hoping the Two-Tails would seriously injure Simu. 

If anything happened to Simu, Jiraiya had already planned how to take revenge on Kumo Shinobi.

Kushina rushed to the scene after the battle, anxiously scanning the direction of the smoke and dust.

The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and a lazy figure walked out of it.

Simu scratched at his tangled hair.

As he walked out, he said:

"Oh, it's really the legendary tailed beast. That was close. I almost got killed."

Even Tsunade, who had been so worried earlier, couldn't help but roll her eyes. Jiraiya chuckled in frustration, "This guy..."

Kushina quickly rushed over and hugged Simu tightly.

"I knew you'd be fine," Kushina said as Simu picked her up.

"Let me tell you, it was close. That tailed beast almost killed me," Simu said, ignoring the angry looks from Kumo Shinobi. He walked over to Mifune Admiral with Kushina in his arms.

"Excuse me, do we pass the first round of exams?" 

Minato, who had followed behind, asked, holding out a dozen scrolls. 

Most were yang scrolls, with a few yin scrolls mixed in.

Mifune nodded slightly in response.

"Certainly," Mifune said. 

If Simu can't pass this test, then the others don't need to continue the exam.

The other contestants watched in stunned silence. 

When did the Jōnin exam ever require someone to fight a tailed beast?

By sunset, the first round of the exam was over. In just one day, the landscape of the Snowstorm Mountain Range had been completely changed, and even the sky had a huge hole in it.

The farce ended with Kumo Shinobi losing face.

Under Simu's powerful sniping, none of Kumo Shinobi Village's five teams, totaling fifteen people, passed the first round of the assessment. 

Among them, Yugito Nii, the two-tailed Jinchūriki, was severely injured due to the Tailed Beast riot.

When Simu returned to the hotel, he noticed that everyone was looking at him with a mix of awe. 

It was a blend of respect and fear for the strong. In this Samurai homeland, people hold the powerful in the highest regard.

"Have you heard? The Kumo Shinobi team has all gone home."

"None of them made it past. Why not go back and watch Simu win the championship?"

Konoha's players discussed happily.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Fugaku, covered in bandages, lay on his bed, lost in thought.

After this battle, Simu had firmly established his position in everyone's eyes. 

But Simu didn't care about that. 

What mattered to him was that his imitation value had gone up again! 

He had even broken through the 50% mark, meaning it was time for a new round of lottery!

Simu hadn't expected that teasing the tailed beast would bring such benefits. 

He wondered when he would get a chance to mess with Kurama. 

But then again, Two-Tails and Nine-Tails were on completely different levels.

He decided to put that thought aside for now. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Simu silently shouted in his mind

"I, Simu, have reached this point all thanks to my own efforts!"

"And a little help from the system," Simu added with a smirk.

"System, draw!"

"Extracting ability..."

"Extraction complete."

"Congratulations, you have acquired the skill [Life Return]."

Simu instantly felt a surge of energy. He focused his thoughts on his hair, and it began to grow rapidly, resembling Jiraiya's long locks. If covered with Armament Haki, his hair could truly become a deadly weapon.

With this new skill, Simu now had control over nearly every part of his body.

Simu suddenly had an idea.

If that's the case, maybe he could sleep on his stomach tonight. Could he lean against the ceiling tomorrow morning?

This could be a useful trick for a harmonious married life!

Simu realized that the [Life Return] skill not only gave him perfect control over his body but also greatly improved his Chakra recovery speed.

Additionally, his body could now handle more food and convert it into physical strength more efficiently.
