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

Matt Kai raised his sweat-drenched head and looked out over the grass, following the sound.

A short man in a yellow tracksuit was waving at him.

Hmmm, he's a bit older than an uncle, but not quite an old man yet.

Kai jumped and stood up straight.

"Um, sir, is there something you need?"

"You're a taijutsu ninja, right?"

"Yes, it is."

Might Guy scratched his head, not upset that his training had been interrupted.

However, the push-ups are interrupted now. I have to run ten laps around the village later. If I can't do that, I'll do two thousand frog jumps.

"I've been seeing you training a lot lately."

The middle-aged man sat down next to him as if they were old friends.

Matt Kai had no choice but to sit down as well, and said apologetically, "Sorry, sir, I'll be more careful next time and won't bother you..."

"No, you didn't bother me."

The middle-aged man waved his calloused hands, causing Matt Kai's eyes to narrow slightly.

Is this middle-aged man also a taijutsu-type ninja?

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then resumed his cheerful demeanor. "Are there no missions lately?"

"Yes, our team usually only does one mission per month."

Matt Kai nodded.

"Who's your captain? He's so lazy."

The middle-aged man frowned slightly. Judging from Might Guy's age, he could only do C-rank missions at most, once a month. He was probably a Chunin who had survived on the battlefield, which was why he had lost his courage.

"No, our teacher is very good. He said that a ninja's true growth is not about simply piling up the number of missions, but about being able to savor and reflect on the experience after each mission, thereby improving oneself."

When Matt Kay said this, he didn't hesitate at all.

He always remembers what Teacher Lin Yi said.

"Your teacher was just fooling you."

The middle-aged man waved his hand dismissively.

"Come, become my apprentice, and I'll teach you martial arts!"

"No, thank you for your kindness."

Matt Kai's previously enthusiastic face immediately lost much of its interest. He planned to finish his sentence and then continue exercising.

"Do you know who I am?"

"do not know."

Matt Kai stopped and honestly shook his head.

"Hey, ha!"

The man began to spin wildly on the spot, and a tornado enveloped him, eventually forming a dragon-shaped tornado nearly twenty meters long.

"I am Chen, the strongest taijutsu master in Konoha, the Dragon God of Konoha!"

Matt Kai blinked.

This was compared to the hundreds-of-meters-long fire dragon that Teacher Lin Yi had released in the past.

"Oh."

Chapter 123 Teacher Lin Yi and Teacher Chen

"I mean, I am the strongest taijutsu ninja in Konoha."

"Ok."

"And you are a taijutsu ninja."

"Yes."

Chen blinked, looking at Might Guy in front of him who had a serious expression, to make sure that the other party was not just giving him the runaround.

"Now that I'm going to take you as my disciple, shouldn't you be happy?"

Might Guy shook his head.

"I have a teacher to lead the team."

"Your squad leader has no future."

Chen stomped his feet.

How old is your captain?

"Um, around fourteen."

Might Guy and Kakashi were quite familiar with each other, so he had some idea about Lin Yi's age.

But Chen immediately realized.

"Your captain, he didn't just pass the Chunin Exams recently, did he?"

Previously, Konoha held the Chunin Exams to replenish its ninja teams. This kid in front of me only knows taijutsu, so he was probably just randomly assigned to some Chunin who had been promoted.

"In this way, you don't need to leave your team; you can just become my apprentice."

Chen took another step forward.

If it were in the past, his attitude towards Kai would definitely be "take it or leave it."

Even if he values ​​talent, there's no need for him to shamelessly beg others to become his apprentices.

Although Konoha is not known for its taijutsu, in such a ninja village, Chen must have something special to claim to be the strongest in taijutsu. Ordinary Jonin are no match for him.

However, his favorite disciple lost his life on the battlefield in the Land of Grass.

His apprentice was the same way, with a heart full of passion for taijutsu, but he was not as good as Guy. Guy was not good at ninjutsu, and his apprentice simply did not know ninjutsu or genjutsu.

He felt he had let his disciple down, so after that, Chen returned and resigned from his ninja career, becoming a lazy, good-for-nothing middle-aged man.

At first, he was actually resentful when he saw Kai training in the village, because his disciple was so dull.

But gradually, month by month, as long as Matt Kai wasn't on a mission, Chen could always see the sweat he shed.

Perhaps it was Kai's persistence, or perhaps it was his guilt towards his former disciple; in any case, Chen was moved.

He admitted that he had ulterior motives, seeing Matthias as a substitute for his deceased disciple.

But there's no such thing as liking someone for no reason in this world, is there?

"My team leader is not a Chunin."

Matt Kai shook his head, then called out to Chen from behind.

"Teacher Lin Yi."

Old Chen blushed.

Although he looked down on Captain Kai and felt that he was wasting talent.

But it's impossible not to feel embarrassed when someone is caught stealing your partner.

"Cough cough."

Chen steadied himself and straightened his expression.

"Young man, I'm not trying to be mean."

Turning my head, I saw the other person's waist and abdomen.

Chen wasn't very tall, about the same height as Matt Kai now, but Kai said his team leader was 14 years old, right?

Chen slowly raised his head, and what came into view was a handsome and aloof face.

Is he even fourteen?

"Hmm, still training?"

Lin Yi nodded, ignoring the strange old man.

"Um, let me tell you, this child..."

"Yes, Teacher Lin Yi, is there a mission?"

Lin Yi shook his head.

"No, Hong is treating us to dinner tonight, it's your favorite barbecue."

"Hey! Do you know you're wasting your time...?"

"Huh? Why?"

Matt Kai scratched his head.

"She wants to take advantage of the current relative stability in Konoha to learn the family's illusion techniques from her father, so she will be going into seclusion for a period of time."

Everyone has their own expertise. Even ten Kurenai Yuhi wouldn't be enough for Lin Yi to defeat, but when it comes to genjutsu, Lin Yi can at most gain a commanding view through his Sharingan.

However, based on the fundamental principles and the secret techniques unique to the Yuhi clan, Yuhi Shinku is the most suitable for the color red.

"Is anyone listening to me...?"

"Okay, I understand. I will definitely be there."

Matt Kai nodded vigorously, his inner fire burning even brighter.

Shisui has always been the strongest member of their team besides Teacher Lin Yi, and between him and Hong, one is skilled in physical combat and the other in illusion, it's hard to say who is stronger.

But Hong must have improved a lot after this training, so I can't stand still!

Okay, we'll add two thousand sets of frog jumps later, and if that's not enough, we'll do two thousand push-ups.

"Do you realize you're wasting his talent? Right now, he can only do this kind of inefficient training. I am the strongest taijutsu ninja in Konoha. Only by handing him over to me can he achieve his best development!"

Lin Yi's mind went blank.
