What they saw was Hanzo's broken body.
"Hanzo-sama..."
The Ame Shinobi stared in disbelief.
Simu hold Hanzo up and spoke loudly:
"The leader of Amegakure, Hanzō of the Salamander, broke his promise, he allied with Sunagakure and Iwagakure to attack Konoha.
People of Amegakure, will you surrender or …..?"
A terrifying killing intent erupted from Simu, sweeping across the entire Amegakure in an instant.
The remaining Ame Shinobi—already weak—collapsed under the pressure of his Conqueror's Haki.
Only a few dozen managed to remain standing.
From atop Two-Tails, Simu overlooked the entire village.
"Surrender, or perish."
His icy voice echoed across Amegakure.
"Return Hanzo-sama at once!"
Hanzo is their belief, absolutely not allowed to be insulted by others!
Several Ame Shinobi flickered forward, using the Body Flicker Technique to charge at Simu.
But their speed was nothing compared to Hanzo's.
Two-Tails lightly waved his thick tail, and swept several Ame Shinobi to the ground.
Some Ame Shinobi attempted to resist, but they were quickly subdued by Konoha Shinobi.
Even a few Konoha ninjas were knocked unconscious by Simu's mace
Even Jōnin is the same.
After dealing with the remaining Ame Shinobi.
Simu stood on top of Two-Tails, which was as tall as a hill, and walked towards the building in the center of Amegakure.
Four Tails and Five Tails followed closely behind, exuding terrible coercion.
With Ame Shinobi's defenses shattered, the remaining villagers posed no threat.
They ran back to the house long before Simu entered the village.
Meanwhile, Konoha Shinobi swiftly secured the entire Amegakure, sealing off any escape routes.
"Am I that scary?"
Simu sat in the office of the leader of Ame Shinobi, rubbing his nose suspiciously.
At that moment, Aburame Shibi walked in.
"You defeated Hanzo, their leader. Who wouldn't be afraid of you?"
More than a thousand ninjas from Konoha have surrounded Amegakure.
As for the captives, they were very well-behaved and had no intention of making trouble at all.
After witnessing Simu's overwhelming power, they knew that even if every Ame Shinobi joined forces, they stood no chance.
Shibi continued:
"Amegakure is fully under our control. Everyone left behind has been captured."
The first thing Simu had done upon entering Amegakure was force Hanzo to reveal Root's secret hideouts then he wiped them out.
As for Amegakure.
As for Amegakure itself, all Ame Shinobi had been subdued, and the remaining civilians posed no real threat.
Even if there were, they were soon captured by Konoha's ninjas.
Simu looked at the Amegakure shrouded in dark Cloud, and said lightly:
"Don't worry, we'll prepare first… then head back to Konoha to settle the score with those old men."
Aburame Shibi's eyes under the sunglasses are a little complicated.
After the battle, nearly a thousand warriors, including Shibi, became Simu's closest and most loyal comrades, his core team for future wars.
Only a few hours later, Aburame Shibi walked in again.
"Simu-sama, a group called Akatsuki is requesting an audience with you."
Outside Amegakure, a group of ninjas in black-bottomed robes are being stopped by Konoha Shinobi.
"Amegakure is currently under Konoha's control. No outsiders are allowed entry."
"Konoha Shinobi?"
At this, Nagato frowned.
Meanwhile, Yahiko was already furious.
Anyway, they are natives of Amegakure.
As a result, Amegakure is now occupied by people from Konoha, how can he accept this?
He pointed to the Konoha Shinobi and shouted:
"Why do you Konoha people occupy Amegakure?!"
At this time, the scale of Akatsuki's organization was not small.
Hearing the leader's words, the dozens of ninjas behind him became nervous instantly.
Yahiko placed his palm lightly on his weapon.
Seeing this, the Konoha shinobi tensed, ready to strike at any moment.
"Because Amegakure was the one who declared war on Konoha first."
A calm yet authoritative voice echoed from the distance.
In an instant, a flash of golden light appeared in front of Yahiko, revealing a figure clad in a justice coat—Hanyu Simu.
Nagato's expression turned serious.
If it's this man… Even with my Rinnegan, victory is uncertain.
Simu's eyes first locked onto Nagato's purple-ringed Rinnegan, then shifted to Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki.
"Amegakure attacked first. We only defended ourselves."
"Does that explanation satisfy you?"
Yahiko's face twisted in frustration.
"Where is Hanzo-sama?! I want to see him!"
Simu shook his head: "I've locked him up."
"As the one who led the attack on Konoha's forces, Hanzo will be taken back to Konoha for trial."
"What? You captured Hanzo-sama?!" Yahiko's fists clenched tightly.
At this point, Hanzo had yet to betray them. To Yahiko, he was still a hero—the protector of the Land of Rain.
Simu nodded. "Yes."
Yahiko's expression darkened completely.
"Since you are also Jiraiya-sensei's student, I'll give you a chance—release Hanzo-sama and leave Amegakure."
Simu raised an eyebrow.
Oh, right. These three are technically his senior brothers.
But he still shook his head and replied calmly, "We won't be leaving until Amegakure compensates Konoha for the attack."
"What did you say...?"
Yahiko clenched his fists, then slowly relaxed them.
He lifted his head, determination burning in his eyes.
"If that's the case… then I won't just stand by and watch the Land of Rain be invaded again. Prepare yourself!"
"Yahiko..." Nagato reached out to stop him, but it was too late.
Yahiko had already launched his attack.
"Water Style: Water Chaos!"
A turbulent stream shot from Yahiko's mouth, forming a powerful water column that surged forward.
Simu didn't move.
A dark blue flame streaked through the air, colliding with the water and instantly evaporating it.
"Master Simu."
Two-Tails emerged from within Amegakure, stepping beside Simu with piercing eyes locked onto the three before him.
Moments later, Four-Tails and Five-Tails arrived.
"That kid gives me a bad feeling."
Four-Tails fixed his gaze on Nagato's Rinnegan, an unsettling discomfort washing over him.
Nagato's expression grew serious.
"Three tailed beasts..."
With Akatsuki's current strength, they were no match for three Konoha jinchūriki.
Simu's gaze remained on Yahiko but was truly focused on Nagato.
"So, are you still planning to fight?"
Among them, only Nagato posed any real threat.
"Even if it's a tailed beast..." Yahiko clenched his fists.
"No one has the right to violate the Land of Rain!"
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A massive water dragon erupted from the ground with a deafening roar.
"Overconfident brat."
Two-Tails, deciding Simu didn't even need to act, casually raised a paw and struck the water dragon mid-air.
Fire and water collided, creating a dense cloud of steam.
Seeing their leader attack, the other Akatsuki members didn't hesitate.
They quickly formed hand seals, preparing their own jutsu.
But before they could act, Five-Tails Kokuō stomped the ground lightly.
Then, with a deep breath, he unleashed a massive cloud of superheated steam.
A violent gust followed, sweeping through the battlefield and sending the Akatsuki ninjas tumbling to the ground.
Just as they were about to be completely overpowered, Nagato extended his hands.
"Wind Style!"
A powerful gust erupted from him, dispersing the steam in an instant.
"What terrifying power..."
The sheer might of a Tailed Beast was overwhelming.
But even more frightening—how powerful must Simu be to command them?
Standing beside Simu, Four-Tails, with its green face and sharp fangs, pounded its chest.
"These brats dare to step in?!"
Lava dripped from its clenched fist, hissing as it formed deep pits in the ground.
But before it could attack, Simu acted first.
A wave of Conqueror's Haki burst out from him.
The overwhelming force surged forward like a tidal wave.
The Akatsuki members, barely back on their feet after the storm, were instantly hit by the dark-red Haki.
The lingering smoke and steam around them were swept away.
In an instant, most of Akatsuki collapsed, leaving only a few still standing.
"What... What kind of jutsu is this?" Yahiko's eyes flickered with unease.
Nagato, understanding his fear, reassured him.
"Don't worry, they just fainted."
"And... this isn't ninjutsu."
Nagato, the wielder of the Rinnegan, had mastered all seven chakra nature transformations, including Yin-Yang Release, by the age of ten.
That's why he could sense it—whatever power Simu had just used, it wasn't ninjutsu.
"As expected of a Rinnegan user, your perception is sharp."
Simu's calm remark put Nagato on edge.
"You… know about the Rinnegan?" Nagato asked coldly.
Simu remained silent.
Wherever Nagato was, Uchiha Madara's shadow was never far behind.
Simu gestured casually.
"Come on, show me what Jiraiya's students are capable of."
"You're underestimating us!"
Seeing Simu's dismissive attitude, Yahiko immediately charged forward.
