Naruto: Learn the Substitution Jutsu and use it to create Star Platinum?

"I got it~~"

Lin Yi reached out and caught the mission scroll thrown by the badger dog, then sighed softly.

It feels like the holiday has been going on for days, and now it's almost over.

"To investigate the movements of Iwagakure?"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

"It seems this won't be over anytime soon."

After World War II, the only two major powers that did not participate in the war were Kumogakure, which had just ended its internal strife and was too busy to do anything else. The Eight-Tails had been causing trouble at home for a while and was indeed unable to cause any trouble at the moment.

However, the other Iwagakure is quietly making a fortune. With two Jinchūriki at their disposal and having not suffered the devastation of World War II, it is quite normal for them to want to cause trouble now.

After informing Minato, Lin Yi left notes at the Hatake family's residence and his own ninja tool shop, then dashed towards the gates of Konoha.

"Is everything ready? We're going to the Land of Earth this time, so it's best to bring plenty of supplies."

Badger coughed lightly twice, and only after the other three nodded in confirmation did they all slip away from Konoha.

"Is Iwagakure planning some kind of underhanded move?"

On the way, Yingque asked as she hurried along.

"I don't know, but since there are orders, I'll go and take a look."

The badger shook its head.

Hua Die bit her lip. "I really hope there will be no more wars."

Her parents both died in World War II, which is why she chose to become a medical ninja.

The badger did not respond this time.

He certainly didn't want war to break out again.

But this is not his decision.

……

Four months later, in the Land of Earth, outside Iwagakure Village.

"Come on!"

With a loud shout, Shadow Sparrow and Badger Dog immediately turned and fled.

It seems the butterflies behind are hard to keep up with.

"Platinum Star!"

Euler

Platinum Star emerged from behind Lin Yi, grabbed Hua Die, and followed closely behind Lin Yi.

"What's wrong, Shadow Sparrow?"

"There was an extremely strong chakra fluctuation just now; it might be a Jinchūriki."

Jinchūriki (human jinchūriki).

All four felt a slight unease.

If ninjas are killing machines, then the Anbu are the elite of the elite.

Then, Jinchūriki can be called weapons of war.

When Lin Yi first learned the true size of the tailed beasts, he thought he had entered the world of Ultraman.

"The temperature is rising."

The badger immediately sensed the wind blowing around it and said in a deep voice.

"He caught up."

……

In the woods, Sakumo Hatake looked at his teammate who had collapsed to the ground, a hint of hesitation flashing beneath his mask.

"Captain, let's abandon him; we still need to continue our journey."

Rainwater writhed into ink in the darkness, and under the ink's smear, red flowers bloomed from the mouths and noses of the team members lying on the ground.

"I'll carry out the next mission alone; you take him back for treatment."

White Fang's voice broke the silence.

"It's too late, my speed... can't keep up."

“…Then I’ll do it.”

"But what about the mission?"

"I'll take responsibility."

Chapter 13 Facing the Jinchūriki

Steam propelled waves of heat that relentlessly assaulted the backs of Lin Yi's team.

"Captain, messenger, you can go now, don't worry about me."

Ying Que gritted his teeth. He also knew a little about physical skills, but his speed was not as good as Badger and Lin Yi. At this moment, he understood that the two of them were accommodating him.

"Euler".

Neither Lin Yi nor the badger spoke. Ying Que simply felt herself being lifted up suddenly, and she was now sitting side by side with Hua Die.

Fortunately, Star Platinum has two arms.

"Hua Die, take out all the remaining explosive tags from the scroll."

As the badger and Lin Yi sped away, the dog spoke to the flower butterfly floating beside Lin Yi.

"learn."

Hua Die nodded, took out the scroll from her bosom, and a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes.

"Throw some to the back, some to the left, and we'll go to the right."

The badger then spoke.

Flower Butterfly nodded in acknowledgment, and Platinum Star slightly adjusted her grip to ensure it wouldn't affect the opponent's throwing angle.

First, some were thrown to the left, and the rest were thrown to the rear.

The badger gave Lin Yi a meaningful look.

"Fireball."

Although he used to look down on ninjutsu, three years have passed, and Lin Yi has already mastered some simple C-rank ninjutsu.

Just like Gandalf, even though he likes to wield a staff and a greatsword, he still knows how to use the Light spell, doesn't he?

The Fireball quickly ignited the explosive tag on the left, and the rocks unique to the Land of Earth immediately buried the area, creating the illusion that several people were destroying the terrain to hinder the pursuers.

The remaining flames, however, slowly spread toward the detonating tags behind them, calculated by the flames.

"go!"

Just seconds after Lin Yi and his group left, two ninjas radiating heat arrived.

The heat wave fueled the remaining fire, instantly igniting the scattered detonators.

boom---

Amidst the smoke and rubble, the two unharmed Jinchuriki slowly removed their Tailed Beast Chakra Cloaks.

"left?"

"not necessarily."

"They're just a few rats. You go left, I go right, they can't escape the Land of Earth."

Heat waves and steam erupted in the opposite direction...

"The chakra seems to have weakened. No, it should be that there were two people before, but now there is only one."

As the Shadow Sparrow was held in Platinum Star's hand, it spoke calmly.

His head was facing backward, making it easier to conduct reconnaissance.

When he observed it briefly before, he could only see an exaggeratedly large source of chakra. Since Yingque had never faced a Jinchuriki directly, he regarded the combined chakra source of the two as one.

"Can one of them fight?"

Lin Yi asked in a deep voice.

Badger dogs lived through World War II and had encountered the Tailed Beasts.

"What are you thinking? We can't fight."

The badger dog imagined the nightmare it had once experienced and quickly shook its head.

Only Kage-level powerhouses can contend with Jinchūriki.

"Even if we can fight, we can't win in a short time. If the other side can hold us off, we'll still die."

That's the downside of going deep into enemy territory. If you're discovered, you either have to run fast or be killed quickly. But if you get bogged down, there's always someone who can deal with you.

"Damn it, he's sped up."

Ying Que's expression changed.

Behind him, Han looked at the marks that he hadn't had time to cover up, and his mouth slowly opened into a grin beneath his mask.

If it were that guy Lao Zi, you might really have gotten away.

"Steam mode, on!"

White steam billowed from the pipes behind him, and in an instant, Han's speed was like a shooting star chasing the moon.

"Boom boom boom boom boom—"

A series of sonic booms sounded behind us.

"Five thousand meters away from us, four thousand meters away, three thousand meters away..."

Shadow Sparrow's veins bulged as it kept opening its mouth.
