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

"I thought you were all dead! Explain yourself! Give me an explanation!"

Feng Hua Nu Tao pointed to the messy table behind him, his fingers trembling.

The two snow ninjas moved their lips, but still didn't speak.

They really didn't feel anything at all. Normally, after the storm had passed, they wouldn't keep watching over the same gate. After all, they were guardian ninjas, not watchdogs.

Lin Yi: Time stop, isn't that amazing?

"It must be those Konoha ninjas, it must be."

Just as the wind and waves were pacing back and forth.

Leopard Fang, who had disappeared not long before, has reappeared.

"Lord Nutao, my other two companions who were with that Konoha ninja have gone missing."

The raging wind and snow suddenly raised its head and appeared in front of Leopard Fang in an instant.

"Snapped!"

The bright red handprint left Leopard Fang stunned for a moment.

Feng Hua Nu Tao was able to govern the country for so long and secretly usurp the throne without letting a word out, so he was no fool. He immediately realized what was going on.

The other party deliberately kept their fangs to act as a guide.

"You're the one who brought him here?!"

"what?"

Leopard Fang hadn't even reacted yet.

The wind, flowers, raging waves, and closed eyes.

The Konoha Jonin followed Leopard Fang all the way to his secret room, which was completely soundproof. Unless someone came in, the other party probably didn't hear what they were saying.

After I left, the other party sneaked in, searched through the documents, and left the house immediately after obtaining the accurate information.

As for why it was so messy, Feng Hua Nu Tao guessed that the first reason was that the other party didn't know when they would return, so naturally they wouldn't bother to clean up.

Secondly, the files inside can be put back, but the broken lock can't be reconnected, so it doesn't really matter.

However, the other side has already discovered the secret of the chakra armor and knows that they intend to usurp the throne.

By now, his elder brother, Kazama Satsuki, should have already received the news.

"We can't stay in Fenghua City any longer. We're heading to Xueren Village now."

Feng Hua Nu Tao said in a deep voice.

"The other party is not simple; he truly deserves to be a Jonin from a great ninja village."

Leopard Fang asked, covering his face.

"Then, Lord Futao, what was the original plan for the Snow God Festival?"

Feng Hua Nu Tao stared at Leopard Fang as if he were a fool.

"Do you have any way out now? Forget about those Konoha people, go back to Yukigami Village now. I will have the Yukage personally take action, along with all the elite troops and the armor we just developed!"

"Never mind? Are we going to call for Lord Xueying again?"

Leopard Fang sensed that Wind and Waves seemed somewhat self-contradictory.

"idiot!"

Feng Hua Nu Tao added insult to injury with a kick.

"Now that Konoha's squad is on guard, who can stop them besides the village's elites or even Yukage himself? Should you go or should I?"

"I…"

Leopard Fang lowered his head guiltily.

"The only way now is to ignore that Konoha team, turn the tables, go to Yukigami Village, gather manpower and activate the armor. We can still make it before the Snow God Festival."

"If the people of Konoha leave then, and we take over the Land of Snow, I will be the legitimate heir to the royal family of the Land of Snow. As long as I stubbornly deny it, Konoha will have no reason to wage war against a daimyo."

Leopard Fang nodded.

Ultimately, ninjas replaced the samurai in status. Although they surpassed them in some ways, they still nominally had to obey the daimyo. For example, the Hokage of Konoha, in principle, also needed the approval of the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the daimyo of the Land of Fire would nod in agreement.

This is actually why the Snow Village was willing to help Fuuka Nutō.

The Snow Village is loyal to the Land of Snow, and the Land of Snow only cares about the surname Fuuka, not who the person is. As long as Fuuka Nutō can make them stronger, they will help Fuuka Nutō.

"If those people from Konoha hadn't left."

The wind, flowers, and raging waves squinted their eyes.

"Hmph, with the entire village's strength plus the chakra armor, unless the Hokage himself comes, I'd be more than happy for him not to leave."

Alright, let's get going!

"Yes, Lord Fury Tao."

Outside, Lin Yi's true form floated freely above the clouds. The refraction of sunlight and the reflection from the snow, along with the subtle adjustments made by the weather forecast, created the perfect optical cloaking for Lin Yi.

Ah, he's a smart man.

But clever people often die because of their own cleverness.

That's right, this is Lin Yi's plan.

He was certain that someone who could plan such a long-term scheme like Feng Hua Nu Tao was no fool, so Lin Yi hadn't actually done anything.

But Fuka Nutao, this "clever person," will surely think that Fuka Saya is now in cahoots with Konoha.

So, Feng Hua Nu Tao can only choose to go all in or give up with nothing.

But with the throne within his grasp, could he possibly give it up?

He had been planning for over a decade, and putting aside the consequences of abandoning the plan, he simply couldn't accept the sense of loss.

Therefore, he will definitely choose to go all in.

He will bring all the power he can muster to seize the throne.

In this way, he is both the leader behind the ninja village and the daimyo of the country. With this dual identity, he can use his status as daimyo to deceive Lin Yi, who represents "Konoha".

He then armed himself with chakra armor, gradually realizing his greater ambitions.

And what about Lin Yi?

He just needs to wait quietly.

When the Snow God Festival arrives, and blood is drawn...

Lin Yi reappeared like light, saving Kazama Saya and her father, and incidentally erasing the power brought by Kazama Nutao in one fell swoop.

No trouble, no misunderstandings, and no one will slip through the net.

He will only gain gratitude and respect, while Konoha will gain a customer who has lost his own ninja village, and a little "chakra ore" that the Land of Snow has no shortage of.

Perhaps the only thing that isn't very pleasant to look at is when there's blood.

But there is no way, this is a necessary sacrifice.

Lin Yi's eyes were indifferent.

My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror; all my deeds are for the sake of justice.

Chapter 135 A Gift for the Snow Goddess

The day before the Snow God Festival, the people of Windflower City were already filled with happiness.

The streets began to be decorated with the characteristics of the Snow Country and offerings needed for the festival.

"Mom, when does the Snow God Festival start?"

Lan Hua is the daughter of a commoner family in Feng Hua City.

The flower is called Orchid because his father once saw it outside, and according to him, it was the most beautiful flower in the world.

In fact, it was because he had only ever seen this one type of flower.

After Daimyo Kazahana Hayate created more and more mechanical creations, a lot of the original labor force was freed up, so most families in the Land of Snow only had one or two children.

There used to be many children, firstly because many children couldn't withstand the "blessing" of the snow god and would freeze to death in the severe cold, and secondly because the family needed enough laborers to get through the coldest time in a short period of time.

But now, with the help of machinery, having more children is just consuming resources.

As Lan Hua's mother placed offerings on the altar outside the door, she smiled and patted little Lan Hua's head.

"Are they going to the palace to steal the Snow God's offerings?"

Little Orchid's face flushed red instantly.

He lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Hmm... last year's leaves were so delicious, they were sweet."

Orchid Mom finished setting out the last offering and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It should open early tomorrow morning as usual. Your dad can take you there to ask for it."

The word "讨" here actually means asking the Snow God for offerings.

The offerings made by the people of the Snow Country are mostly ordinary dried meat.

Of course, families with a little more money might bring out sausages or even fresher meat.

As for the royal family, they would use the most precious fruits and vegetables.

Although they are called offerings, after the Snow God is worshipped, people will take them back to keep as food or eat them on the day of the celebration.

The fruits and vegetables offered by the royal family will be given to all the people participating in the Snow God Festival.

In September and October, the Snow Country is about to enter its coldest period, and it is impossible to ask the entire country to withhold a portion of its survival supplies for no reason.

Last year, Xiaolanhua arrived late and only managed to get a single vegetable leaf.

"Don't be too hasty when the time comes, or the Snow Goddess might be displeased."

"No, no, the Snow Goddess is very generous."
