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

bass---

Two Chunin collapsed to the ground.

At the gap, faint flashes of lightning illuminated a charred area.

Just as the remaining Chunin was about to turn his head, the cicada chirping beneath his feet suddenly turned into a strange, fluttering sound.

Buzz buzz buzz——

Countless black insects climbed, bit, covered, and engulfed...

“Who…”

The Jonin from Iwagakure finally realized what was happening and was about to form hand seals.

boom---

A sharp pain shot through my neck.

Then all vision went dark.

For White Fang, if he gets the first move in the dark, it's an instant kill.

The fact that the Iwagakure Jonin was able to react even slightly was not because Sakumo was slow.

Instead, one of them must be spared.

The three dragged the Iwagakure Jonin aside and, after ensuring they had reached the safe area previously scouted by the Hyuga clan ninja, the parasitic insects on their bodies began to detach and fly back into Shiki's clothes.

"Shinku, let's begin."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded.

In terms of torture, he might not be as cruel as the perverts in the torture department.

But if he only needs to use illusions to extract some information, his skill in illusions is more than enough.

Where is the main force of Iwagakure?

The Jonin from Iwagakure opened his bewildered eyes.

"Two kilometers west of here."

How many scout teams are there in total?

The Iwagakure Jonin's expression showed struggle.

The chakra within his body surged continuously, seemingly trying to break the illusion.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Aburame Shiki summoned countless parasitic insects that reappeared, clinging to the Iwa ninja and beginning to absorb their chakra.

The main way to break genjutsu is to disrupt the opponent's genjutsu chakra by stimulating the chakra within the body.

As the Iwa ninja's chakra gradually decreased, his previously struggling expression calmed down again.

"There are eight in total..."

Sakumo Hatake quickly pressed for more information.

Where are they located?

"I don't know... our directions won't intersect."

Yuhi Shinku and Sakumo exchanged a furrowed brow and a glance.

"What were the codes you used to warn of danger and guide us?"

Iwagakure's hands began to tremble, but under the control of the illusion, he still began to write.

But just as he finished writing half of it, blood began to gush from Iwagakure's body.

"Get out of the way!"

Sakumo Hatake immediately pulled the other two back.

Fortunately, most of the opponent's chakra had already been absorbed by the parasitic insects, so he only twitched a couple of times before dying cleanly.

As expected, such coded language would still be marked with a curse.

As the head of the secret service, Hatake Sakumo was naturally very familiar with the situation.

Once it is detected that the person writing the coded message possesses a different type of chakra, the cursed seal will be activated to kill the host directly.

"Lord White Fang, what is this?"

Yuhi Makoto looked rather unwell.

"It's alright, knowing their temporary camp is enough."

White Fang shook his head; it wasn't Kurenai's fault.

The three quickly turned around and returned to the main group.

"Proceed 3,500 meters west and be on guard against enemy scout squads."

After Baiya finished speaking, he immediately led the main force in the direction where they had just killed the group of Iwagakure scouts.

Yuhi Makoto and Aburame Shimi both returned to their respective squads.

Five hundred meters further ahead from where it was discovered.

The Hyuga ninjas in the team could basically see the entire Iwagakure temporary outpost.

It can be described as densely packed.

No wonder we need to rest at night.

"Lord White Fang, based on the fact that many of the enemy's temporary tents are concealed by sealing techniques or other jutsu, we can estimate that the enemy has more than a thousand genin, more than four hundred chunin, and dozens of jonin."

The strongest Hyuga ninja in the group, wrapped in parasitic insects, cautiously peeked out with his eyes. After observing all the tents, he was somewhat astonished.

The village of Iwagakure truly lives up to its reputation for having many ninja.

"Teams one through five, go to the north to set up traps and then lie in ambush. Teams six through ten, go to the south to set up traps and lie in ambush as well."

White Fang spoke in a deep voice.

After receiving the order, each squad quickly moved to either side.

White Fang originally intended to use the scouts' waypoints to lure Iwagakure to the designated area.

This also reduces casualties on our side.

However, the enemy has eight scout squads, so it's not very stable no matter what we do.

Now I don't have to worry about it anymore.

If we can't use a soft approach, then we have to use a hard one.

Chapter 108 All-Out Operation — Hidden Cloud Retreat, Returning Home: Minato's Tactics

Dawn was breaking.

The fourth-generation Ai removed the bandages from his body.

The last battle with Lin Yi was mainly due to the depletion of chakra.

In fact, the injuries weren't as severe as the two stabs I received when we first met.

Although there are no visible wounds now, he still can't really use his right arm much.

"how's it going?"

The Third Raikage was still resting with his eyes closed, but the moment the other person entered, he knew it was his son.

"It won't hinder the battle."

The fourth-generation Ai waved his arm.

"How are the others injured?"

The third-generation Ai slowly opened his eyes and asked the secretary accompanying him.

"Most of them can return to the battle, and the seriously injured ninjas have been arranged to return to the village."

The third-generation Ai nodded.

In the previous battle in the Land of Hot Springs, most of the minor injuries were caused by fighting with ordinary Konoha ninjas.

Serious injury means that some unlucky person encountered an area-of-effect attack from Lin Yi or Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's oil fire is a bone-deep affliction; even a tiny bit can produce a high temperature that burns to the bone.

Lin Yi was alright; he wasn't seriously injured.

Those who were touched by Frost Sigh basically went down to report for duty.

“I will escort the wounded. They have shed blood for the Land of Lightning, and I must ensure they return to their homes.”

The Third Raikage stood up and cracked his neck.

A series of cracking and popping sounds immediately followed.

"I left in a hurry this time, and I'll take care of some things I left behind after I get back to the village."

After instructing his secretary to gather the ninjas being sent back to the village, the Third Raikage turned to his son and spoke.

"Ai, you and Bi will lead the team to the Land of Rivers as planned. I will catch up with you soon."

After saying that, without waiting for the fourth generation Ai's response, he walked straight out of the tent.

In the camp of seriously wounded soldiers.

The Third Raikage slowly strolled in.

Sparse greetings rang out in the camp.

"Sandaime-sama..."

As for why it is sparse.

The Third Raikage looked up.

Some had their mouths split open, some had lost their chins, some had their entire faces still wrapped in bandages, and some had only empty holes in their eyes—he didn't know who had come in.

"You are all heroes of my Hidden Cloud Village."

The Third Raikage clenched his fist.
