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

"I'll stop him, you guys go." x2

Lin Yi and the badger said the same thing in unison.

“Envoy, I believe in your abilities, but you are still too young and inexperienced.”

But Lin Yi simply stopped and let Platinum Star gently put down Shadow Sparrow and Flower Butterfly.

"Captain, you can't stop him for long."

The badger did not refute this.

He is the type of assassin who attacks quickly.

For this type of ninja, once someone falls below his kill threshold, he will slaughter them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. But if he encounters someone he can't cut down, even trying to fight back might be a pipe dream.

The badger hound stayed behind; its attacks were like tickles to the Jinchuriki. As for its Transcendent Release, the enemy could simply ignore it and continue the pursuit.

In other words, it's extremely good at dominating weaker opponents, but struggles against stronger ones.

"Believe me."

Lin Yi left only this sentence and then turned and ran away.

"Walk."

Without a second's hesitation, the badger grabbed Shadow Sparrow and Flower Butterfly and instantly flew towards the Land of Fire.

Have they abandoned you?

A deep voice rang out from beneath the red conical hat.

Lin Yi is now 1.6 meters tall, but the person in front of him is still half a body taller than him.

"No, I just... had an itch to do it."

boom!

Sand and dust flew up as Lin Yi rushed towards Han in an instant.

"interesting."

Steam fueled the fist's power, and the terrifying speed and temperature distorted the air around Han.

blah-

The Japanese blade made a harsh, cutting sound like glass cutting through Han's gauntlets.

"Ok?"

Han stared at the blade that had risen on its own before him, now that no one was there.

Is it a bloodline limit?

"Eula!"

Platinum Star fought back fiercely with a single strike, forcing Han to retreat.

Lin Yi instantly lunged forward, his moon blade pressed tightly against Han's neck.

when!

Han dodged to the side, reaching out to block Lin Yi's blade, while the airflow and steam in the pipe forced Lin Yi back.

Then, a chakra membrane, like an outer garment, began to envelop his entire body, combining with Han's own steam.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

"Canteen Spicy Sauce!"

Han simply sidestepped the incoming blade.

But immediately afterward, another sword, about the size of the Sun Blade, slashed at Han's torso, tearing a large gash in his tailed beast cloak.

Double swords?

Han stared intently at the two sword blades floating before him.

I already told you, Star Platinum has two arms!

Lin Yi also drew a short sword slightly larger than the Moon Blade from behind, imbued it with chakra, and together with Star Platinum, he slashed wildly at Han.

Four-Sword Style!

Platinum's power is heavy and its momentum is fierce; to attack it, one must defend against it.

Lin Yi's movements were swift and unpredictable, targeting vital points.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—

boom!

Han was violently thrown away, his chakra cloak was slashed in countless places and was slowly wriggling and recovering, while his armor underneath was in complete disarray.

"King Mu, it seems we've been underestimated..."

Lin Yi quickly swallowed a soldier's ration pill.

Ahead, the ragged Han swelled up, and his violent, surging chakra slowly condensed into five tails behind him.

Then, the face, which had long been replaced by the beast-like giant face, opened its blood-red maw, and a small, dark-colored bead gradually condensed.

"Tailed beast jade!"

Can't escape.

Instead of retreating, Lin Yi advanced, thrusting two short blades straight at the Five-Tails, only to have them easily blocked by the chakra cloak that had transformed into claws.

"The chakra reaction behind that was incredibly strong."

While eating her soldier's rations, Yingque nervously glanced in Lin Yi's direction.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

The twin blades of Star Platinum were constantly flying around, but the Five-Tails' chakra seemed boundless, and it would immediately recover as soon as it was torn apart.

His dark eyes revealed a savage expression, and Han let out a tearing sound.

"Die."

The Tailed Beast Ball, the size of a human head, expanded instantly and then violently shot towards Lin Yi.

The whole world seemed to fall silent for a few seconds.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom—

Chapter 14 Returning to the Village and the Rumors of Sakumo

The smoke gradually dispersed.

The already scarce greenery on the ground has been completely turned into scorched earth.

Han, panting heavily, deactivated his tailed beast form.

He removed his tattered armor and gasped.

His forearms were covered with numerous deep wounds that exposed the bone.

Is this the strength of a Konoha ninja?

But is it the land of swords, or the land of iron?

He had never heard of a ninja of this caliber before. Had the Land of Earth truly been closed off for too long?

Although the Tailed Beast Ball just now was not as destructive as the fully transformed Tailed Beast, it was still the limit for a single half-Tailed Beast.

Even if it were higher, setting aside the issue of control, he himself would have been killed at such close range.

If the other party hadn't been trying to buy time for their comrades, Han Jin wouldn't have felt confident he could have kept them in check.

Without letting his guard down, Han used his chakra to seal the blood and continued to search carefully.

However, apart from a dark short blade in the distance, all that could be seen around was soil constantly emitting black smoke.

So it was resolved?

"King Mu?"

A deep voice echoed in his heart: "There is no sign of life."

There must be no trace of their remains.

"Han, do you still want to continue the pursuit?"

"No, with such a commotion, Lao Zi still hasn't arrived. He must be quite far away. We're already on the border, and in my current condition, it wouldn't be worth it."

Han shook his head.

Although his battle with Lin Yi lasted only a few minutes, it was enough for elite ninjas to cover a distance of nearly a hundred miles at full speed.

“Ninjas of this caliber are extremely rare, regardless of the faction. It would be enough to keep even one.”

Having said that, Han put on his half-broken straw hat, turned around, and staggered away.

……

At the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth.

"Captain, it's already...dark."

The badger remained perched on the tree, silent.

The secret service team is different from ordinary teams.

Out-of-town missions and dangerous missions are the norm.

Over the past three years, they have faced numerous crises and missions together. At first, they only wanted to invest in Lin Yi, a "connected person," but now, Badger Dog truly regards the messenger as a partner they can entrust with their lives.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

"You all go, I'm going back."

Badger Dog handed the scroll containing the intelligence they had gathered over the past few months to Shadow Sparrow.

"No!" x2

The shadow sparrow and the flower butterfly both shook their heads.
