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

Page 126

The enemy's high-level combat force wasn't completely wiped out. Putting aside everything else, just the Third Raikage alone, apart from Lin Yi himself and Minato, would be a death sentence in a one-on-one fight.

Lin Yi didn't want to take that risk.

He didn't want it at all.

Therefore, he became greedy.

"I don't understand what you're talking about kneeling or not, and I don't need Iwagakure to kneel to me."

Lin Yi responded loudly.

These are just polite words, meant for everyone to hear.

Even if Sunagakure really admitted it, he couldn't say it openly.

But what followed was a private conversation.

Lin Yi landed slowly.

With a wave of his hand, the wind and clouds formed a dome, trapping the two of them inside.

"Heh, what, are you going to use me as a scapegoat?"

The loess sneered.

Lin Yi wasn't angry; instead, he spoke calmly.

"Iwagakure must be quite badly injured by now, right?"

Even if Lin Yi doesn't continue to make moves, the number of Iwagakure people who have died at the hands of the Cloud Village is already in the thousands.

Even if most of them are genin or chunin, it would still be enough to cripple Iwagakure.

"so what?"

The yellow earth still looked cold and indifferent.

"You don't need to be so wary of me. You guessed right, this was all my plan."

But it is you who are greedy for meat, it is you who are willing to pursue it, and it is you who have stepped into the Land of Fire.

The ones who caused your direct casualties were the Hidden Clouds.

So you should blame Yunyin and your greed.

Of course, I won't admit it once I'm outside.

Lin Yi sat on a small cloud, a playful smile on his face.

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

Huang Tu frowned, feeling frustrated, but also realizing that the other person was right.

"I think the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire don't really have any deep-seated hatred between them, do they?"

Our Second Hokage died in the Land of Lightning, not the Land of Earth. If we go back further, not only me, but even you weren't born yet.

Therefore, I have no need to exterminate you all.

Huang Tu's eyes flickered slightly.

"But I said I wouldn't do it..."

Before Huang Tu could finish saying the word "dog," Lin Yi waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't be in such a hurry, I don't want you to submit so easily."

Huang Tu narrowed his eyes.

He noticed what the boy said.

It's not that we didn't want them to submit, but that we didn't want them to submit.

But he didn't speak, and instead waited for Lin Yi to speak.

"My request is simple: if you deal with the rest of the Cloud Village people later, I will not only spare you, but I will also hand over the antidote with both hands."

Huang Tu didn't rush to refute, but instead gave a cold laugh.

"You gave us the antidote, and now you want Sunagakure to take the blame?"

The meaning is very clear: if Sunagakure had nothing to do with you, how would you have the antidote?

"Lady Tsunade is outside, so this kind of poison that won't kill is nothing to her."

Lin Yi smiled slightly.

Huang Tu's face stiffened, and then he spoke in a deep voice.

"You want to completely expel Konoha?"

Sunagakure took the blame for the poisoning.

Iwagakure then took the blame for intercepting and killing Kumogakure.

Oh, no need to memorize it.

They did indeed do all of these things.

When the time comes, we'll just have to find those two families to deal with the third-generation Thunder that even Lin Yi is wary of.

And Konoha? They simply conducted a reasonable investigation within their own country at a reasonable time.

Not a single soldier wasted.

"You are so cruel."

After figuring things out, Huang Tu's face turned completely gloomy.

When the time comes, who will be the one to face the Cloud Village's frenzied counterattack?

It was neither Sunagakure, which was already on the verge of being attacked by Kumogakure, nor Konoha, which was completely innocent, but Iwagakure, who "backstabbed" and intercepted their main force.

If Yunyin truly regains consciousness and intends to recuperate, then...

So, would Iwagakure, having already turned this into a knife, leave such a weak "mortal enemy" unattended?

Therefore, Lin Yi made this move.

Once Huang Tu agrees, Iwagakure and Kumogakure will immediately resume their brief alliance and shared misfortune.

To become the enemy who most wants the other person dead.

"What if I don't agree?"

The loess continued to open.

Lin Yi spoke calmly, a smile still playing on his lips.

"Then I'll go ask Yunyin if he's interested in killing you all to save their lives."

Lin Yi pretended to lower his head.

"My patience is limited... If there is no reply in three seconds, then Iwagakure will only have death as your only option."

"three…"

"I promise."

See, even rocks aren't that hard, are they?

Chapter 117 Closing the Net (Part 3)

"Wise choice."

Lin Yi was not surprised that Huang Tu made this choice.

He created an environment similar to the prisoner's dilemma.

It's as if I'm telling Huangtu in a blatant way: if you don't agree, I'll let Yunyin choose.

Would Huangtu dare to gamble on Ai's choice?

He dare not.

Both parties have the same status.

If A chooses to take action, he will wipe out all the remaining Iwa ninja.

For the Land of Lightning, destroying the Land of Earth, which has been embroiled in a bloodbath, will immediately become their top priority.

What he couldn't accept was that Lin Yi was using the remaining lives of the Iwa ninja to threaten him, forcing the Land of Earth to surrender or take sides.

Lin Yi's current option is for them to take the blame, but the losses will stop there.

Although we now have the Land of Lightning as a mortal enemy, at least we've survived, haven't we?

Besides, if all the Cloud Ninja here are eliminated, how many people will be left in the Land of Lightning?

Their Land of Earth suffered a severe blow, but the Land of Lightning was left half-dead.

Such mortal enemies are at least easier to deal with than a fully-fledged Konoha and the shameless Sunagakure, right?

Huang Tu couldn't help but marvel once again at the cunning of the person before him.

Huang Tu originally thought there was only one possible outcome: all the ninjas here would be wiped out, and the remaining Iwa ninjas and Kumo ninjas would form an alliance to fight against Konoha and Sunagakure.

But the young man in front of him only said a few words.

This adds two more possibilities to the future.

First, the Land of Earth will act as Konoha's sword to kill the Land of Lightning.

Secondly, the Land of Lightning will become Konoha's sword, to kill the Land of Earth.

Furthermore, the future that Huang Tu originally envisioned has become the most impossible future to achieve.

What remains unchanged is that Konoha, which would otherwise face risks, will now be completely carefree, sitting comfortably in the stands watching them fight to the death.

Forget it, being a knife... is better than being a dog.

As for what happens next…

Huang Tu stole a glance at the boy in the clouds.
