Konoha, Just Like Kizaru

A year later, with cherry blossoms swirling in the air

Hanyu Simu, Namikaze Minato, and Uzumaki Kushina had fully grown up. 

They had lost their innocence in the face of battle and could now officially be called ninjas. 

"How time flies," Simu sighed as he lay on a stone bench in the park, his hands in his pockets. 

In just a year, Konoha Kizaru had become well-known in the ninja world.

For the next few missions, Jiraiya no longer led the team, but handed it over to the Simu team to solve by themselves.

They lived up to expectations and completed 2 A-level missions, 10 B-level missions, and countless C-level missions.

Simu's team had truly transformed into an elite group within Konoha.

"Let's burn our youth!" a lively shout rang out in Simu's ear.

Simu turned around, feeling helpless. 

"Mr. Simu, I'm here to get your encouragement again!" Might Dai ran over excitedly.

What does he mean by that? Simu thought, feeling desperates as he swiftly kicked Might Dai away. 

It was worth mentioning that Dai was actually many years older than him.

As for why Might Dai was in the same class as Simu, it was clear that his talent wasn't great. He had failed the graduation exam several times

Much worse than his son Might Guy.

Only by virtue of his passion and perseverance in practicing physical skills, he was able to graduate at the same time as Simu.

Getting up from the pit, Might Dai said excitedly:

"Mr. Simu, I've learned your [Tempest Kick]!" 

Might Dai's face was full of excitement as he continued, "I also combined your ideas to create a new move called [Konoha Super Whirlwind]. Would you like to see it?" 

Over the past year, he diligently practiced [Iron Body], [Shaved], and [Tempest Kick] with determination. 

While Simu didn't mind that Dai had learned these techniques, he found the man a bit annoying.

Just as Might Dai was about to show Simu his new moves, Simu spotted his savior: Namikaze Minato! 

"Hey, Minato-kun! Perfect timing. Might Dai is looking for a sparring partner, so I'll let you handle that," Simu said, putting his hands in his pockets with a smirk. 

Finally, he could take a good rest. 

Might Dai's eyes lit up as he turned to Minato, excited for the challenge.

"Minato-san, can you join me in burning my youth?" 

"What?" Minato paused, initially wanting to refuse. But seeing Might Dai's eager eyes, he reluctantly agreed. 

"Alright." 

"Yes!" Dai pumped his fist in excitement. 

"Then I won't hold back—here it comes!" 

"Leaf Hurricane!" 

Might Dai recognized the gap between him and Minato, so he went all out right from the start. 

He dashed in front of Minato and executed a sweeping kick. After a year of being a ninja, Minato had significantly improved his physical skills and ninjutsu.

He instinctively took a step back. 

Might Dai wore a bright smile on his face as he turned around and delivered a kick in mid-air. 

Minato sensed something was off and raised his hand to block it. 

The force of the kick pushed him back several steps. 

However, Might Dai's attack was far from finished.

He rolled over and planted his hands on the ground, spinning his feet wildly toward Minato. 

The rapid kicks rained down like a whirlwind, each one coming in faster and with more force than the last, thanks to the momentum. 

This technique was inspired by Simu's advice to Might Dai

Using [Shaved], Dai quickly closed the distance, then activated [Iron Body] to strengthen his legs. 

He launched a powerful wave of attacks using inertia! Minato struggled to defend himself with his physical skills. 

"How about that? This move was specially created for me by Simu!" Dai shouted. 

"Burn your youth, Minato-san!" 

Minato crossed his arms, but the force of Dai's kick sent him flying.

"This is Simu's idea? It's very creative," Minato said, wiping his mouth as he dodged Dai's heavy kick. 

He then pushed off the ground, using the Body Flicker Technique to launch himself forward. 

In a flash, Minato didn't retreat but charged at Dai, tackling him hard. Dai's offensive was instantly interrupted. 

Minato quickly backed away, using the momentum, and formed a hand sign with his hands.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" Minato shouted. 

A massive gust of wind burst from his mouth, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

Might Dai faced the oncoming wind with no fear, only the excitement of embracing his youth. 

"Minato-san, let me show you what true youth is!" he declared as he flipped upside down, his feet spinning wildly in the air.

"Konoha Super Whirlwind!" Might Dai shouted. 

Countless vacuum slashes erupted from his spinning feet, striking everything around him with force. 

The powerful slashes even tore through Minato's Wind Style technique.

"That's amazing, Might Dai," Minato said sincerely, impressed by his friend's skill.

After executing the move, Might Dai lay on the ground, exhausted and panting. "This is all thanks to Simu"

"This isn't my credit; I just offered an idea," 

Simu replied, appearing in the middle of the battlefield with his hands in his pockets. 

Minato looked at Simu. 

Even though Simu downplayed his role, he knew that sometimes the most important thing in ninjutsu and taijutsu is that very idea or inspiration.
