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

At this moment, both he and Sakumo had removed their hoods; since they already knew, there was no need to hide them anymore.

"This is going to convict us."

Bai Ya said softly, indicating that he didn't blame Lin Yi. On the contrary, he had already begun to think about how to take all the blame upon himself.

"Trust me, teacher."

Lin Yi gave Hatake Sakumo a reassuring look and continued to focus on recovering his chakra.

We should still be on the safe side.

He kept the two men behind precisely because he could guarantee that staying would be better than fleeing.

"Hokage, I was at the base searching for information on the corpses when White Fang and his disciples suddenly stormed in and hacked their way to my side. I have no idea why."

The Third Hokage frowned as he looked at the scattered ninjas and severed limbs.

"Uchiha Lin Yi, Hatake Sakumo, how dare you?"

"Lord Hokage, please wait a moment."

Lin Yi spoke in a loud voice.

"Disobeying orders and killing fellow villagers—what are you waiting for? Take them down immediately!"

Despite his injuries, Danzo forced himself to sit up and interrupted Lin Yi.

The third generation leader narrowed his eyes and exhaled a smoke ring: "Let's talk about it in the interrogation room."

It's clear they want to definitively define this matter.

Lin Yi pushed Hatake Sakumo, inching forward, while speaking in a voice only the teacher could hear.

"Teacher, now immediately bend down and reach out your hand. Remember, your expression must not show the slightest surprise."

Then, he said, "Hokage-sama, you'd better not rush things."

Although Sakumo Hatake was puzzled, he still moved his fingers slightly to indicate that he had received the message.

Then he raised his hand and slowly bent down.

The ninjas present immediately went on alert.

"White Fang, you..."

"Smash it, Varudo!"

Feeling his chakra rapidly draining away, Lin Yi looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was already within ten meters of him.

The world instantly appeared before the Third Hokage's eyes. He then picked up his pipe and turned to place it in the hand that Sakumo Hatake had already raised.

Lin Yi's body suddenly went limp, but he managed to stand up and, without showing any sign of distress, stuffed another soldier's ration pill into his mouth.

Luckily, it's a ninja tool shop.

Sakumo Hatake felt a sudden increase in the weight on his hand, while Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a release in his mouth.

Shuo Mao kept Lin Yi's words in mind, and smoothly bent down and reached out his hand without showing any surprise.

But in his mind, he could already recall the scene of Lin Yi stopping him from committing suicide.

It's like that... so fast it's unsolvable.

"Lord Hokage, it's best not to rush."

The Third Hokage immediately looked at the pipe in Sakumo Hatake's hand.

His face looked a little ugly.

Apart from him, no one around him noticed it immediately.

when?

He immediately raised his hand to stop the Dark Guard.

White Fang, when did your strength reach this level?

"Then let Lin Yi finish speaking."

Lin Yi smiled slightly.

This is his method of guarantee.

They put on a charade with White Teeth.

Anyway, White Fang is known for his speed in killing people instantly.

They can take your pipe, and they can take your life.

Unfortunately, it only lasted a second. When I was fighting Danzo, I used it, which might have killed Danzo, but I was so exhausted that I would be instantly killed by his guards.

The teacher would have been too late to save him.

When the Hokage arrived, the Four Red Yang Formation had been dispelled, giving him a chance to kill.

But as mentioned before, killing in secret, even if you and I know, doesn't matter.

But to kill him face to face would be to tear off the mask of civility. Are we to kill the Hokage as well?

By doing this now, Lin Yi's right to speak is preserved, while his ability to stop time is not exposed.

Lin Yi waved his hand, and everyone instinctively dodged.

Soon, a ninja was lifted into the air by the world, dragged to Lin Yi's feet, and thrown to the ground.

The moment Danzo saw the ninjas on the ground, his face darkened instantly.

How did that brat know?

Yes! A master knife user!

Recalling the report from his one-armed subordinate, Danzo suddenly snapped to attention, his eyes fixed intently on Lin Yi.

Oh it's you.

That's right, the ninja on the ground was the one-armed old acquaintance whom Lin Yi had knocked unconscious.

How could he not have considered the possibility of failure?

Besides time-stop, this is his source of confidence.

Danzo could guess that they were coming because he lost his composure, but he would never have guessed that the person he fought with his men that night was Lin Yi.

Meanwhile, the body that Lin Yi had killed had already been completely disposed of by Danzo (Danzo would never let anyone know the memories in the deceased's mind, so the first thing he did after obtaining the body was to destroy the evidence).

In other words, Lin Yi was able to confirm that it was the person on the ground who killed Bai Ya's companion!

"Lord Hokage, how about we have a contest?"

Lin Yi took out a scroll from his pocket, untied it with a bang, and a severed hand was revealed.

"Elder Danzo, would you like to take a look together?"

Chapter 23 This is JoJo's Wisdom

"Danzo, what do you have to say?"

The third generation leader's face darkened.

He only felt a headache and was filled with nameless anger.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't stupid; no one knew Danzo better than him what kind of person he was.

Ever since he received Danzo's urgent secret letter, he knew that Danzo, that scoundrel, had done all those things before.

Also helpless.

His strength was far inferior to that of the First Generation, and his methods were far inferior to those of his teacher, Tobirama. Danzo did indeed help him do many things that he couldn't have done in his position.

But now that you've done it, they've turned against you and laid all the evidence in your face. What am I supposed to do?

If you have opinions about Naruto, why are you slandering Sakumo Hatake?!

They never intended to be involved, but you had to provoke them!

"I won't..."

"Third Generation Lord, please don't be angry."

Before Danzo could even utter his first sophistry, Lin Yi interrupted him.

Hatake Sakumo also turned slightly to stare at Shimura Danzo.

Although he is now somewhat like Kakashi, unable to keep up with Lin Yi's train of thought.

It seems like things have turned around again, albeit somewhat unpredictably.

Who cares, just listen.

"Uchiha Lin Yi, you live here."

"I think the Third Hokage may have misunderstood Elder Danzo."

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

Sakumo Hatake, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura were all stunned for a moment.

Especially Shimura Danzo.

Am I under the influence of Uchiha's genjutsu? Is he speaking up for me?

"My teacher and I chased this person all the way here. I suppose his attire is probably an attempt to frame Elder Danzo's Root?"

Yes, yes.

Danzo nodded. How could he have said what I was about to say?

“In that case, the Root must avoid suspicion. This person will be kept under the supervision of the Dark Division Headquarters, questioned carefully, and severely tortured.”

Yes, yes... no, no!

Danzo suddenly opened his eyes, and just as he was about to stop it, he saw that the root of the unconscious one-armed man had been pulled back to the side of Hatake and his disciples by an invisible force.

“My lord, my handling of this matter is in accordance with regulations.”
