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

The Land of Wind is arid, but it is currently the height of summer, and occasionally the weather suddenly turns cloudy, bringing torrential rain.

"But...but...he...he...he..."

"What do you mean, 'him'?"

Chiyo was also somewhat dissatisfied.

From this perspective, it seems better to let a puppet do the gatekeeping.

How could someone be so stupid?

The Sand Village's gatekeeper Chunin was still trembling, pointing a finger towards the sky.

The two frowned and looked in the direction the Sand Ninja was pointing.

Then, a look of disbelief flashed across his face.

Ebizo's cane loosened slightly and fell to the ground with a thud.

Above the sky, a giant dragon of clouds, hundreds of meters long, was slowly circling.

Atop the majestic and noble dragon head, a man in white stood with his hands behind his back.

"I'm sorry for the intrusion."

What's obscuring the sky isn't rain clouds.

Instead, it was the giant dragon beneath Lin Yi's feet.

The Sand Villager next to him finally lost control of his body and collapsed to the ground.

Shukaku was already a monster to them, but this Konoha ninja was riding a dragon that was more than ten times larger than Shukaku.

The dragon slowly poked its head out of the ground.

The thick skin formed by clouds and mist almost swallowed up the buildings of Sand Village.

Lin Yi stood steadily between the dragon's horns.

"Sorry, I don't like waiting."

Negotiations begin in Chapter 99, Sandy Sand

"Then...what is that?"

"A spirit beast?"

"Monster! Monster!"

As the giant cloud dragon approached, the Sand Ninja, who had initially thought it was just the weather turning gloomy, all trembled with fear.

"This Konoha ninja wants to declare war on Sunagakure?!"

Chiyo remained calm.

Having lived most of my life, no matter how exaggerated the scene, my descendants either die or disappear. For someone who is almost indifferent to such things, fear is just nonsense.

Lin Yi slowly flew down from the sky.

He raised his hand slightly in a wave.

"hold head high---"

The dragon's roar, which resounded for miles, almost caused ripples to spread through the air.

The next second, the giant dragon of clouds suddenly flipped over.

Its hundreds-of-meters-long, nearly thousand-meter-long, winding body instantly reversed, its tail throbbing as it flew straight into the sky.

The scorching sun shone down once again.

The wind and sand lashed against the faces of many Sand Ninja who had been startled and lost their scarves.

The sunshine and sandstorms that they once loathed now felt welcoming to them.

"Is that your summoned beast?"

Ebizo licked his dry lips and unconsciously used honorifics.

Lin Yi simply smiled and did not answer.

Nonsense, of course not.

A giant dragon amidst clouds and mist, well...

Looks like goods.

It looks scary, but it's actually heading straight for people...

That does hurt quite a bit.

But any ninja with some skills can handle it.

The final sound was actually a sharp cry produced by changing the air pressure difference, but it was layered and thickened by the echoes from the inner walls of the clouds to create the feeling of a dragon's roar.

in short.

While it can be viewed as special effects, it's definitely enough to fool people.

"Quite the opposite."

Lin Yi looked at Chiyo, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, a smile returned to his face.

"I am here on behalf of Konoha to cooperate with your village. I think this time, I should be able to meet the Fourth Kazekage, right?"

"Cooperation? What is there for us to cooperate on!"

Ebizo was furious.

But Lin Yi just stared at Chiyo.

He could tell that, right now, the one who had the most say was this old woman.

High in the sky, the occasional roar of a dragon echoed across the vast wilderness.

"Alright, then come with me."

Chiyo's aged voice rang out, and she turned around, her back slightly hunched, and walked towards the Kazekage Building.

Under Ebizo's displeased gaze, Lin Yi nodded slightly and then followed Chiyo.

Sunagakure Village, Kazekage Building.

In front of Lin Yi, a man with short brown hair was listening to Chiyo's report with a frown.

After hearing Chiyo's words, Rasa looked up at Lin Yi.

"A ninja from Konoha?"

Lin Yi nodded slightly.

"Not bad, Uchiha Lin Yi, this time..."

"I have no interest in what your name is, nor in cooperating with you. Get out of Sunagakure before I change my mind."

Luo Sha interrupted Lin Yi without any politeness.

Lin Yi's expression stiffened slightly.

The Fourth Kazekage was blown by sandstorms every day, turning into a sand wall?

"Lord Fengying, the Cloud Village's offensive must be quite unpleasant for you, right?"

Luo Sha's face turned cold.

"I told you, this has nothing to do with you. Since the Cloud Village dared to set foot in the Land of Wind, I will naturally make them pay the price!"

Actually, Luo Sha wasn't exaggerating when he said that.

With the power of his gold dust, he can not only exert several times his strength in the Land of Wind, but also pan for gold in the sand, helping Sunagakure fill the gaps in the war effort.

But that's all I can say.

When you get hit, you won't be killed.

You have the guts to let Luo Sha take a single step out of the desert.

Hell Thrust will slap you in the face right away.

"Heh, Konoha ninjas, there's no need for the eldest brother to laugh at the second brother now, right? Recently, Kumogakure announced its attack on Konoha, and at the same time, its offensive against Sunagakure has instantly dropped several levels."

Chiyo spoke slowly. She was not only one of the top fighters in Sunagakure, but also one of the strategists of Sunagakure.

"Konoha must be suffering, right? Now that you need to find Sunagakure, you should be begging us. But your attitude doesn't seem like you're begging."

She turned her head and gestured slightly towards Luo Sha.

Their current stance is unclear, and if they can manage to extract a piece of flesh from Konoha, they might as well just go through the motions without putting in any real effort.

Lin Yi also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's good that we can talk.

The Fourth Kazekage was incredibly wise, and Lin Yi was afraid that he would directly threaten him, as the other party was truly willing to start a war with him.

The ruthless are afraid of those who don't value their lives.

Compared to Rasa, Chiyo, though the puppeteer he disliked the most, at least had some brains.

Lin Yi counted on his fingers.

"It's true that Kumogakure declared war on Konoha." He paused slightly. "I can also tell everyone in Sunagakure that Konoha lost the Land of Hot Springs."

Chiyo was slightly startled. If they were to cooperate now, it would be like begging the other party to take the initiative by actively exposing their weaknesses.

They are still young; although their strength is hard to gauge, their tactics are still too immature.

Just as he was about to make sarcastic remarks about Konoha, Lin Yi quickly interrupted him.

"However, we did not lose any high-end combat power. Rather than a defeat, it is more accurate to say that we retreated."

"Hmph, you're from Konoha, so of course you want to put on airs. Who knows you were beaten to a pulp?"

Luo Sha suddenly spoke up with a sarcastic remark.

Lin Yi ignored Luo Sha and continued speaking while Chiyo was deep in thought.
