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

"…you…"

Even someone as sharp-tongued as Kakashi wouldn't know how to respond to this.

You sent the Nine-Tailed Fox to escort the princess?

Let alone whether Konoha would release them, would the Land of Snow dare to?

"Kushina-sensei can't do it anymore."

Rin wasn't as carefree as Obito; she was more perceptive and had already noticed Kushina's true identity.

Or rather, Minato-sensei never hid anything from them.

"There's another one!"

Obito suddenly hooked his arm around Kakashi's neck.

"what."

Kakashi raised his eyelids again.

"When we went to the Grass Country to clean up the battlefield before, wasn't that commander-in-chief your dad?"

"Yes."

Kakashi nodded.

"So, for him to be a battlefield commander-in-chief, he must be a Jonin, right?"

Kakashi's gaze grew increasingly strange.

If you were to ask whether White Fang is a Jonin, then it seems he really is.

"No, Father is very busy and doesn't have time."

Kakashi held it in for a long time before finally uttering a sentence.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about that."

Obito leaned back.

Kakashi and Rin continued to think about whether there were any suitable candidates.

Aside from Lin Yi, he didn't know any other Jonin in the Uchiha clan.

This time, he really has no chance with the princess.

However, when he opened his eyes, a familiar face was directly above Obito, staring at him.

Why are you sleeping here?

"Brother Lin Yi!"

……

"So, you're taking on an A-rank mission and need a Jonin to lead the team, but Minato isn't here, so you want me to lead the team?"

After listening to Obito's rambling, Lin Yi sorted things out a bit.

"Uh-huh!"

Obito nodded.

"We're escorting the princess, Brother Lin Yi."

Lin Yi smiled knowingly.

"Oh, it seems Obito has high hopes for this princess. Is it possible she's even cuter than Rin?"

Obito's expression changed drastically.

"No way! Lin is definitely prettier than the princess. I... I just want to be a hero."

Obito glanced back nervously at Rin, only to find her face slightly flushed, which put him at ease.

Lin Yi glanced at the three little ones in front of him. Obito, needless to say, was the one who wanted to go the most. Kakashi and Rin also had a faint longing in their eyes.

"Which country's princess is she?"

In general, situations involving a princess of a country are beyond the reach of an A-level individual.

After all, a special Jonin can take on an A-rank mission by bringing along a few Chunin or even Genin, so the minimum requirement isn't very high.

Since Konoha, already the number one ninja village, is involved, it's not certain that they'll send a Kage-level ninja, but specifically requesting an elite Jonin is still possible.

Last time, Loulan was ranked A-rank, mainly because Loulan didn't have its own ninja village, and also because the other party really couldn't afford the reward of S-rank.

So this time it's also a country without ninja villages?

"Senior brother, the Land of Snow."

Kakashi spoke.

Lin Yi searched his memory for information about this country.

The Land of Snow is further north than the Land of Frost.

It seems there is a Snow Village.

A country like that should be able to afford S-level compensation, right?

Lin Yi frowned slightly.

Or perhaps the country's ruler has many children, and this princess is not favored, so an A grade is sufficient.

Or perhaps the other party already possesses certain protective capabilities and is simply using Konoha as a front to borrow strength.

They can handle things that Konoha doesn't understand, and they can still use Konoha's name to their advantage when they can't handle them.

If it were peacetime, there would be another possibility: the routes would be familiar and people would have experience, so there wouldn't be any danger. But now it's clearly not peacetime.

Looking at Lin Yi, who was deep in thought.

"Senior brother, is there something else you need to do?"

Kakashi didn't know Lin Yi's exact strength either. Sakumo didn't say it to discourage him, but Kakashi knew that his senior brother was no ordinary elite Jonin.

"Do not."

Lin Yi shook his head.

"I'll go with you. We're just killing time anyway, so let's treat it as a trip."

He was inwardly mocking himself.

Lin Yi, Lin Yi, you've been using your brain a lot these past two years, and you subconsciously want to get to the bottom of everything.

There aren't that many surprises.

Besides, it's a small country; even if something unexpected happens...

It can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist.

Chapter 127 Obito's Hero Fantasy

"Great!"

Obito jumped up and threw a punch. He had witnessed Lin Yi's strength during his trip to Loulan. To be able to shatter such a large puppet, he must be one of the more powerful elite Jonin.

Moreover, Lin Yi was also a close relative and elder brother of Obito. It could be said that, apart from Minato, Obito was most willing to let Lin Yi lead the team.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief; he had also hoped that his senior could be with them.

"Thank you for your help, Professor Lin Yi."

Unlike Kakashi and Obito, Rin Nohara, even though Lin Yi was only three or four years older than them, was still a Jonin leading a team, and she still deserved the respect due to him.

Although Lin Yi-sensei didn't seem as gentle as Minato-sensei, she felt that he was also a very kind person.

The three children checked their supplies, sealing scrolls, and ninja tool pouches to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything before following Lin Yi back to the Hokage Building.

"Uncle Tanaka, that mission is still up, right?!"

As soon as Obito stepped across the threshold, he shouted impatiently.

"Even if you were here, I couldn't give you... Have you found a Jonin willing to lead the team?"

Tanaka was tidying up the scrolls with his head down when he suddenly remembered the previous conditions. He quickly looked up and asked Obito, who was standing in front of him with his hands on his hips and looking smug.

"Hmph, that's right."

Lin Yi stepped forward from behind and pointed to the sealing scroll on the table.

Ignoring Tanaka's changed gaze.

"Is that the one?"

"Uh-huh, yes!"

Obito stood on tiptoe to reach the edge of the table, looked down to confirm, and quickly nodded.

"We'll take this task."

Lin Yi nodded, then took the scroll and spoke to Tanaka.

"Okay, okay, okay, do I need to register?"

Tanaka picked up the pen, somewhat stammering.

"Uncle Tanaka, of course you have to register, isn't that the rule?"

Obito rolled his eyes. He had just been saying that the rules couldn't be broken, and now he was asking this kind of question.

"Okay, let's register."

Lin Yi nodded.

Tanaka quickly registered the four people and handed the complete mission information to Lin Yi with both hands before letting out a sigh of relief.

After collecting the information and determining their location, the group headed towards an inn in the center of Konoha.

"Great."

Obito walks with a hopping gait, which shows how excited he is.

People like him, who have had almost no friends growing up, love to daydream.

Obito always felt that he, like the protagonists in those heroic biographies and legends, had a passionate and righteous heart.
