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

In just a few days, the three students in Lin Yi's class experienced things that other teams might never encounter in their entire lives. How could they not be excited?

Lin Yi then turned and headed towards the Hokage Building.

"Please come in."

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke softly.

Lin Yi pushed open the door, let the world throw the earth tooth on the ground, and then took out two scrolls from his pocket.

Inside are sealed Oishi and two half Chunin.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little confused. Wasn't Lin Yi just leading a small team to escort a merchant? What was going on?

"Lin Yi, what's this?"

Chapter 67: C-Rank Mission? A-Rank Mission!

Leaning slightly backward, Lin Yi rested against the invisible wall created by the weather forecast.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"These must be Iwagakure members disguised as Kumogakure."

Lin Yi didn't keep them in suspense any longer.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was momentarily stunned by the amount of information conveyed in that sentence.

"What happened?"

"We encountered a standard ANBU squad, all of whom were proficient in Earth Release ninjutsu, and the Jonin leading the squad seemed to possess a secret technique similar to Transparent Release."

In the end, one was burned to ashes, leaving only a surviving Chunin, while the Jonin who led the team was left with a complete corpse.

As for the two "halfs", Lin Yi didn't mention them, just consider them as filler words.

"It's alright. As long as the brain is preserved, we can gather enough information, not to mention that you've left one alive."

If there are survivors, it means they are in the right.

After figuring things out, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly guessed Iwagakure's motive.

You're from Iwagakure, yet you're impersonating Kumogakure to attack Konoha. Obito could see right through your intentions.

At that time, neither Kumogakure nor Konoha will tolerate Iwagakure.

"Did you encounter it during the mission?"

The Land of Hot Water connects the Lands of Lightning and Fire, and is also very close to the Land of Earth. It's highly likely that Lin Yi encountered it while on a mission in the Land of Hot Water.

"Yes, on the way there we encountered a cult of evil gods. I told Jiraiya about it, and this is what we encountered on the way back."

Of course, Lin Yi also sent a shadow clone to inform Old White Hair about the matter of Iwagakure during the subsequent journey.

"The Cult of Evil God?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in confusion.

After the simple explanation to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded to indicate that he understood.

They encountered trouble on both their trips back and forth. It's hard to say whether Lin Yi's team was just unlucky, or whether the two groups that encountered Lin Yi were just unlucky.

"These are turbulent times..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't resist and took a puff of his pipe.

"In that case, it's not quite right to classify this mission as C-level. Lin Yi's team's intelligence gathering on the Evil God Cult and uncovering the Hidden Rock Cave's conspiracy have elevated this mission to A-level."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi added an extra sentence to Lin Yi's mission scroll.

After returning the scroll with the modified mission level and reward to Lin Yi, Lin Yi thanked him and turned to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table, and soon, two ANBU members appeared in the room.

One carried the still unconscious Tsuchiya on his back, while the other unfurled the scroll of the "Jonin" photo album.

Daishi's body still retains the appearance it had when he died.

If it weren't for the scarlet mark on the throat, one wouldn't even be able to tell where the fatal wound was at first glance.

To be able to capture four opponents alive and leave such clean wounds.

There's only one reason: Lin Yi's strength is no longer on the same level as theirs.

"He's gotten stronger again... Uchiha Lin Yi."

The three generations did not know whether to be happy or sad.

"Take these to the interrogation department. As long as that Chunin doesn't die, you can do whatever you want with him."

"Yes, Sandaime-sama."

After leaving the Hokage's office, Lin Yi went to the mission hall and received his reward amidst the incredulous and expectant expressions of the registered ninjas.

As expected, the mission did indeed encounter risks, just as he had warned before.

What's unbelievable is that the risk was so great that it went from C to A, and the key point is that he still managed to complete it.

As expected of a Jonin from the Uchiha clan.

After mentally labeling Lin Yi as a ruthless person, the registered ninja respectfully saw him off.

Lin Yi then took out the portion of the reward that belonged to the three little ones.

Of course, it was paid according to the A-level task standard; he's not the kind of unscrupulous capitalist who takes kickbacks.

On his way back, Lin Yi first went to Shuimen's house to take a look, but no one was home.

It seems he's taking the Minato squad on a mission.

Busy, everyone is busy, it’s better to be busy.

The next morning, at the third training ground.

By the time Lin Yi arrived just in time, the three little ones had already gathered at the training ground.

"Here, this is your reward for the last mission. Don't forget it after training is over."

Lin Yi took out three thick stacks of banknotes and handed them to the three people.

"Huh? It's so thick."

Kurenai looked at the banknotes that required both hands to hold and sighed.

"Ten...ten thousand taels?!"

Matt Kai quickly took stock of the items and then exclaimed in surprise.

Zhi Shui asked in surprise, "Teacher Lin Yi, isn't this... too much?"

Although he hasn't graduated yet, a C-level mission would cost 30 taels just for the three of them. How bad must Konoha's inflation be?

"That's right, the next three generations raised our mission to A-level."

Lin Yi shook his head and gave them a reassuring look.

"A-level?!"

Compared to 100,000 taels of silver, an A-level mission would obviously excite Kurenai much more.

It feels like your peers are still competing in a local craft competition, while you've already won first place in the national competition.

A sense of superiority.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, confirming their doubts once again.

This is also a good thing for the three kids. Genin and Chunin have exams, while the evaluation of Jonin takes into account a ninja's strength, number of missions, quality of missions, and so on.

"Alright, as happy as you are, training can't be neglected."

Now, the three little ones have become quite proficient at climbing trees.

Lin Yi waved his hand, and a waterspout continuously poured water into a depression on the ground.

Soon, a pond the size of a swimming pool appeared.

“You’ve already mastered tree climbing. Today, we’ll begin our next training: learning to walk on water.”

After saying that, Lin Yi gently stepped onto the pond created by the weather forecast.

Like walking on flat ground.

"Treading water is much more difficult than climbing a tree. The difficulty of climbing a tree lies in mastering the changes in suction when lifting up and falling down."

Walking on water, on the other hand, requires mastering the use of chakra to push the water away, creating a tension similar to repulsion. Water is formless, and compared to tangible trees, the control of chakra on the water surface is more complex.

Today's goal is to be able to stand on the water.

The three little ones nodded as if they understood but not quite.

After putting the money away, he took off his coat and walked towards the pond.

wow-

Matt Kai was as fierce as when he was climbing a tree, leaping straight forward.

The chakra in his legs, combined with his own weight, caused the water to explode, followed by a performance comparable to that of the Philippine diving team.

The other two were also instantly submerged up to their feet.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and quickly formed a hand seal.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall."

Two earthen walls rose up, dividing the pond into three sections.

This way they can avoid interfering with each other.

Otherwise, not to mention Shisui and Kurenai, even Mighty, from the Philippine national team, would cause the water to churn violently with every jump, exponentially increasing the difficulty of training for the other two.

Once their chakra control improves, Lin Yi will naturally make the water surface surge.

Now is not the time.

Chapter 68 Tool Man, Minato Namikaze

After a few seemingly leisurely days, Minato led his team back to Konoha.

After learning that Lin Yi had contacted them, the Water Gate Class, which was originally going to disband and rest, also wanted to join in.
