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

"Puppet?"

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

Because of his mother, he had an innate aversion to puppeteers.

The blond figure lying on the ground looked at the puppet threads coming towards him, quickly bandaged his leg injury, and then took out his chakra blade and began to swing it.

Damn it, there are too many!

As the puppet drew closer, the reflection of the silk threads in the blue pupils of the blond figure became increasingly clear.

Finished!

Zheng——

A soft hum of blades rang out, and two blades rose from the ground, slicing towards the puppet like swimming dragons.

He was then picked up by someone he didn't know and taken away from the battlefield.

Minato looked down at the blond-haired, blue-eyed boy and quickened his pace slightly.

Chapter 39 Naruto: Kakashi-sensei, your child is so big already?

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!"

The dazzling figure wielded two swords, and the afterimages he created almost stirred up a storm.

The puppet threads were instantly torn apart by the blade, and then the bodies of several puppets were frozen in mid-air.

"Wow, that's amazing! Did you cut all the puppet threads in an instant?"

The blond boy, who had been pulled aside by Minato, looked up and sighed.

The voice just fell.

The puppet in the sky suddenly trembled, and then countless cutting cracks appeared on its body. The next second, it smoothly turned into countless fingernail-sized fragments that fell like snowflakes.

"That's...that's way too exaggerated..."

"Minato-sensei, Lin Yi-ge!"

Hearing the commotion, Kakashi quickly surveyed the surroundings before bringing Rin and Obito to Lin Yi's side.

"Senior brother, we haven't found any living people around, but there are many puppets all around. We suspect that... Sunagakure might be planning something?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly.

Indeed, it would be difficult to find another force besides Sunagakure capable of cultivating such exquisite puppetry techniques.

Moreover, although Loulan and the Land of Wind do not border each other, both are indeed plagued by harsh weather with sandstorms everywhere.

Now that Loulan seems to have the power to resist the sandstorms, it is not impossible that the Kingdom of Wind would covet it.

"Don't jump to conclusions." Lin Yi shook his head. Even though he was very unhappy with Sunagakure, making a conclusion based on just a guess would be detrimental to the ninja world, which had been at peace for four years.

"Yes!" Kakashi nodded.

Seeing that no more puppets were appearing, Lin Yi led the three little ones to Minato's side.

"Huh? Minato-sensei, who is he?!"

Obito then noticed that there was someone else next to Minato.

After Minato finished bandaging the other person's leg injury, he looked up and smiled, "You must be a Konoha ninja too, right?"

"From Konoha?"

Lin Yi looked at the two people in front of him.

The one on the left is the blond guy.

The one on the right still has blond hair.

“Minato-sensei, since the Hokage has already sent us, there’s no reason to send some young brat as well.”

Kakashi sensed something was wrong and shook his head.

Minato didn't seem to mind Kakashi's sweeping generalization.

"Then I'll leave him in Kakashi's care for now."

Then he turned to Lin Yi and said seriously, "There's a problem with Loulan. I'm going to find our mission target first. Lin Yi, you stay here and look after Kakashi and the others."

Lin Yi nodded.

"Minato-sensei, we can help too!"

Upon hearing this, Obito, before he could even ask the blond-haired guy who was also Minato-sensei, blurted out.

"Stop yelling, you bottom-of-the-barrel guy."

Kakashi couldn't resist tapping Obito on the head.

Given the current situation, doing this is indeed the best option.

Don't be fooled by how easily Lin Yi slaughtered those puppets, like cutting fruit. If Kakashi and his two companions were to face them, they could easily get injured or even killed.

However, they cannot ignore the mission objective, as they still do not know the specific situation of Queen Sara.

In terms of speed, let alone the three little ones, even Lin Yi is a hindrance to Watergate.

Minato glanced one last time at the blond boy who was still staring blankly at the ground, then turned and vanished in an instant.

"Hey, are you a Konoha ninja?"

Obito was direct, getting straight to the point and asking the question.

Isn't it obvious?

Naruto pointed to the Konoha headband on his forehead.

Lin Yi didn't follow, but instead picked up a piece of puppet fragment and examined it for a while.

The material of this fragment shouldn't be this fragile; it's not even in the same league as the quality of the world's previous cleavage.

On the other side, the three little ones also surrounded Naruto.

"Ugh, the Hokage really doesn't trust us at all, he actually sent ninjas..."

Before Obito could finish his sarcastic remark, Kakashi punched him on the forehead.

That darn Kakashi!

"Idiot, just because someone wears a headband doesn't mean they're a Konoha ninja." With that, Kakashi activated his transformation technique, and an unknown ninja wearing a Sand Village headband appeared on the spot.

"Am I now a nobody in Sunagakure? The bottom of the barrel?"

After the unknown ninja uttered Kakashi's voice, he immediately dispelled the jutsu and transformed back into Kakashi.

Pshaw, what's with the attitude?

Obito pursed his lips.

Could you please show me your identification?

Rin walked to Naruto's side and said softly.

Compared to ninja headbands, which can be easily counterfeited using transformation techniques, identification documents are much harder to forge.

Not only do they contain the unique anti-counterfeiting techniques of each ninja village, but they also contain the basic information and mission records of the ninjas.

"Ah, yes, yes, I should have it with me." Naruto blinked and immediately started rummaging through his clothes.

"Found it!" Naruto grinned after finding it and readily handed it to Rin.

Kakashi and Obito also leaned in.

"Konoha genin, Naruto Uzumaki, ninja number 012607?"

Kakashi read it aloud softly, his eyelids twitched, he gave Naruto a sharp look, and then put the document into his pocket.

Naruto was a little dumbfounded. He had simply handed over his identification because he thought the people in front of him were all Konoha ninjas.

How could they have stolen it from me?!

"Hey, why did you take my ID? And you said you had a mission... Where am I? Are you here to capture centipedes too?"

Naruto blurted out all the things that had been bothering him.

"This is Loulan. We don't know who Baizu is... What, you don't even know the mission location?"

Kakashi looked at Naruto's serious face and couldn't tell for a moment whether he was really stupid or just pretending.

"Loulan? Is this Loulan? I remember Loulan was clearly a ruin."

Naruto scratched his head. He remembered that when he fought the Centipede, Loulan was full of ruins, but now, apart from the hole he had just smashed, the surrounding area was full of magnificent high-rise buildings.

Kakashi looked at the oblivious Naruto in front of him, then suddenly turned to look at Obito.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Obito grumbled in dissatisfaction and withdrew his steps from moving closer to Rin.

"nothing."

Kakashi shook his head. No wonder he always felt a familiar...silliness about Naruto.

“Speaking of which,” Naruto said, looking at Kakashi, who had white hair and was wearing a mask.

This kid looks just like Kakashi-sensei.

"Is your surname Hatake?"

"Hmm." Kakashi nodded. There was nothing he couldn't say. It wasn't the Warring States period anymore, and the Hatake clan didn't have any rival families.

"Ah!" Naruto clapped his hands. "I knew it! Kakashi-sensei is really something, he didn't even tell me his child was all grown up!"

Kakashi:? ? ?

Looking at Naruto's indignant face.

Obito and Rin also froze for a second at the same time.

Then Obito couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, Kakashi, when did you become a teacher?" Obito laughed heartily while pointing at Kakashi, "And you've become your own son?"

Lin also burst out laughing.
