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

"The Godaime?"

Obito let out a strange cry.

"Excuse me, but Konoha is still led by the Third Hokage, and I am Kakashi Hatake. So, who exactly are you people?"

Kakashi frowned as well; they gave him a strange feeling.

They don't seem like enemies, but they're full of loopholes.

"What? The Third Hokage? But Grandpa Hokage was clearly already..."

Naruto looked at Kakashi, puzzled.

But Yamato's mouth dropped open.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed, a white-haired boy who seemed to be Kakashi's son claimed to be Kakashi, and the Third Hokage who was still in office.

Based on his experience and everything he had just heard.

A terrifying thought came to Yamato's mind.

They—traveled through time and space.

The person in front of me is not Kakashi's son; he is Kakashi himself when he was a child.

"Time travel?!"

After hearing Yamato's guess, Obito and the others exclaimed in disbelief.

Chapter 41 A Not-So-Optimistic Future

After hearing Yamato's explanation, Lin Yi, though still somewhat surprised, untied the ropes binding the two of them.

"Naruto, Naruto, you just said you were acting on the orders of the Fifth Hokage. Who is the Fifth Hokage? Is it Obito Uchiha?"

In Obito's mind, the Fourth Hokage definitely had no chance, but the Fifth Hokage still had a great chance.

"What are you dreaming about, you loser?"

Kakashi glanced at Obito with disdain.

Obito immediately glared at him angrily.

"Kakashi, you bastard!"

"Naruto?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Lin Yi suddenly looked up at Naruto Uzumaki.

"Um, what's wrong, sir?"

Although Lin Yi's actual age should be younger than Naruto's, his terrifying strength just now still made him call him "big brother".

"nothing."

Lin Yi shook his head.

Although he had never watched Naruto, he still knew that the main characters were named Naruto and Sasuke.

No wonder he hadn't seen those two people all these years; it turned out he had transmigrated too early.

"So, is the Fifth Hokage named Uchiha Obito? It can't be Kakashi, can it?"

Obito remained fixated on this question.

"Uh, no, the Fifth Hokage is Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin."

Yamato scratched his head and replied sheepishly.

"Tsunade?"

Lin Yi raised his head and frowned slightly.

How could it be Tsunade?

It's not that Tsunade isn't qualified to be Hokage; in fact, the current Fourth Hokage could easily become Hokage if Tsunade wanted to.

Then everyone else can abstain, including Sakumo Hatake.

In terms of strength, she is one of the Legendary Sannin, not far inferior to White Fang. In terms of status, the First and Second Hokage were her grandfathers, and the Third Hokage was her teacher.

In terms of prestige, countless ninjas have been saved by Tsunade on the battlefield, and most of them have been saved more than once.

However, judging from Naruto's number, and considering that less than a hundred people graduate from the Ninja Academy each year, Naruto will likely be a ninja about twenty years from now.

Twenty years, from the soon-to-retire Third Hokage to the Fifth Hokage, is a reasonable timeframe, but it doesn't seem reasonable for Tsunade to become the Fifth Hokage no matter how you look at it.

Twenty years later, putting everything else aside, Tsunade's age would definitely not be suitable for her to be Hokage anymore.

According to his plan, the Fourth Hokage should be his teacher, Sakumo Hatake, and the Fifth Hokage will most likely be Minato.

"If your teacher is Kakashi, you must have heard of Obito Uchiha, right?" Obito retorted, not wanting to admit defeat. Although he wasn't the Hokage, neither was Kakashi.

"Um, I don't remember..."

Naruto scratched his head, thought carefully, and shook his head in reply.

Kakashi-sensei seems to always be quite alone.

"What about Might Guy?"

"Ah, the teacher with super thick eyebrows, he's Neji's teacher."

Naruto Uzumaki does know Might Guy, and it seems that the guy with thick eyebrows is indeed one of Kakashi-sensei's few friends.

Where is Nohara Rin?

Kakashi suddenly spoke up and asked.

Like Lin Yi, he didn't want to know too much about the future.

But the other party claimed to be his student, yet didn't know Obito, which gave him a bad feeling.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Obito was definitely a friend he valued.

"No."

Naruto Uzumaki honestly shook his head.

Kakashi's heart sank.

Both Obito and Rin are quite talented. Twenty years from now, even if they don't become Jonin, they will at least be Special Jonin.

Although he always mocked Obito for being a loser, as a member of the Uchiha clan and someone who mastered C-rank ninjutsu before graduating, his ninja talent was definitely far superior to his peers.

Unless he, Rin, and Obito sever all ties in the future, but such a thing is impossible unless Obito and Rin betray the village.

That means...

Kakashi dared not think any further.

"It's alright, Kakashi. I'll probably be working at a hospital in the future, so it's normal that you haven't heard of me."

Lin smiled somewhat reluctantly.

Unlike Obito, who was oblivious to everything, even if she wasn't as perceptive as Kakashi, she could still roughly foresee her future...

There may be no future.

"If the Fifth Hokage is Lady Tsunade, then how did the Fourth Hokage abdicate?"

Kakashi took a deep breath and asked the last question.

According to Lin Yi's senior brother's plan, the fourth generation is most likely his father, Hatake Sakumo.

“The Fourth Hokage… he…” Naruto and Yamato’s eyes darkened simultaneously, “He sacrificed himself to protect the village.”

Kakashi stumbled, and Lin Yi clenched his fists.

"Did something happen at Minato too?"

This was Lin Yi's first question.

Naruto and Yamato didn't realize anything was wrong because in their minds the Fourth Hokage was Minato, and they didn't realize that Lin Yi and the others didn't know who the Fourth Hokage was.

They all nodded, thinking Lin Yi was repeating what they had said about the Fourth Hokage's sacrifice.

"Ah."

Lin Yi closed his eyes, covering his constantly spinning Sharingan.

No wonder the Fifth Hokage was Tsunade.

It's likely that most of Konoha's top fighters have died out, leaving Tsunade with no choice but to step in.

Something must have happened!

Kakashi opened his mouth as if to say something to break the silence, but then closed it again.

He still had many questions to ask, such as whether his senior brother Lin Yi was also...

It's understandable that Naruto didn't remember him, but Yamato's ninja certificate showed his Anbu experience. There's no reason for him to call himself Kakashi-senpai and not know that he was the Anbu envoy Uchiha Lin Yi.

After all, Lin Yi is now the envoy, which is basically no secret within the Anbu. This is also Hatake Sakumo paving the way for Lin Yi to take over as the head of the Anbu later.

Then there's no need to ask. Senior Brother Lin Yi probably already knows...

"What's the meaning?!"

As he gradually came to understand, Obito exclaimed, "Does this mean that, apart from Kakashi, we'll all... be dead in the future?"

"Tell us about the future!"

But both Naruto and Yamato were conflicted.

Especially Yamato, who is from the future. If he talks too much, will it have an impact on the future?

He didn't dare to gamble.

"Alright, Obito."

Lin Yi shook his head and pulled Obito back from stepping forward to ask more questions.

"They have their difficulties, but our future is something we will create ourselves."

If this is fate, he will fight to the death.

Finally, I patiently waited for the results.
