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

"This is the objective of this mission."

Lin Yi and Minato also straightened up and accepted the scroll.

"Has the Land of Earth made another move?"

Previously, Lin Yi's longest and most dangerous mission was to gather information in Iwagakure.

"Yes, this task has always been there, but we just haven't found a suitable candidate."

Sakumo was originally a good candidate, but he was previously embroiled in a reputation scandal.

At this moment... the Third Hokage also did not want Sakumo's prestige to rise to another level.

Just then, Jiraiya returned to the village, and the task was assigned to him.

"Jiraiya, I trust your abilities. Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique will guarantee mobility, and Lin Yi has experience facing this target directly before. So, I'm counting on you two for this mission!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's slightly aged voice rang out, and the others naturally nodded in agreement.

……

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.

"Now you've got what you wanted."

Lin Yi walked through the woods, smiling as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Minato shook his head with a wry smile: "It's better if this kind of wish fulfillment happens less often."

"Oh, speaking of which, Lin Yi, have you ever fought against the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails? That's really impressive."

Jiraiya, who was leading the way, turned around, his expression slightly exaggerated.

That's right, the three of them were tasked with checking on the movements of the Jinchūriki of the Land of Earth.

Normally, Jinchuriki are kept under surveillance in their respective villages until they die, but these two from the Land of Earth keep coming out to cause trouble every now and then.

Wouldn't that drive other countries crazy?

That's why they sent the three of them to investigate: Jiraiya, Minato, and Lin Yi.

This configuration represents the top-tier combat force that Konoha currently possesses capable of operating freely.

Even if you encounter two tailed beasts at the same time, you can at least escape, if not win.

If we find out that their goal isn't the Land of Fire, then let them do as they please. But if their goal is something else, then we need to make plans early.

"Lord Jiraiya is joking." Lin Yi gave a helpless, wry smile.

My family knows their own affairs.

"At that time, our team was chased like stray dogs, and I didn't face two Jinchuriki at the same time. I only fought one battle with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and in the end, I only managed to escape by faking my death."

Lin Yi did not hide anything.

When you're doing a mission, your teammates are the partners you can entrust your life to and your back to. If you boast to your teammates, you'll only suffer the consequences.

Even so, it is still quite remarkable.

Jiraiya did not look down on Lin Yi because of this; on the contrary, he admired him even more.

The two Jinchūriki chased after him together, but he stayed behind and stalled with one of them until his teammates were safely evacuated. Even if he faked his death to escape, he still survived by fighting against the Jinchūriki.

"As for specific information, I have never seen a complete tailed beast transformation, but in normal state and in half-tailed beast state, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki can use steam."

Before Jiraiya could speak, Lin Yi took the initiative to reveal all the information he knew.

"steam?"

Jiraiya and Minato asked in unison.

"Hmm." Lin Yi nodded. "He is covered in armor, which can be enhanced by steam to increase his speed, physical skills, and damage output."

"In the half-tailed beast form, it will be covered with a chakra cloak, with extremely strong recovery and defense capabilities, and can release small tailed beast balls."

Tailed beast jade.

Upon hearing this, Minato's eyes flickered slightly.

"As for the Four-Tails, we felt a heat wave at the time, but the Five-Tails' steam didn't feel as hot to me later, so I speculate that the Four-Tails should be good at ninjutsu related to fire release."

Jiraiya nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Then, full speed ahead!"

Chapter 28: Another Battle Against the Five-Tails

Within the Land of Earth, barren rocky mountains rise and fall, and the air, thick with heat, is slightly distorted.

"A ninja from Konoha, huh?"

A deep, resonant voice exploded before my eyes.

Lin Yi and the other two stared nervously at the two human jinchūriki in front of them.

The three of them had just found the vicinity of the two Jinchūriki when they were already sensed. They wanted to explain, but the Jinchūriki wouldn't listen, so they had no choice but to fight on the spot.

"Kid, you're still alive?"

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, recognized Lin Yi, narrowed his eyes, and his tall figure exuded a sense of oppression.

"Looks like you were careless, Han."

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, was only half the size of Han, but his aura was in no way inferior.

Han gave a soft hum, tightened the mask around his mouth, and his deep voice came out.

"It's not too late to make it up today."

brush brush --

In an instant, more than ten kunai were thrown at Lao Zi and Han.

"Melting Escape!"

"Boiling Escape!"

The lava and boiling steam knocked the kunai off the front of him.

"With such limited skills, you dare to confront us directly?"

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of light appeared, and the sharp blade was already close to Lao Zi's neck.

My goodness, Minato Namikaze [teenager] adult.

I felt a sticky sensation on my hand, and a dark red chakra ring had already formed around Old Purple's neck.

The next second, a giant magma projectile the size of a human head slammed into the water gate.

The moment the hot wind swept in, Minato had vanished from his spot and returned to Lin Yi and Jiraiya's side.

Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet

Jiraiya's mouth was filled with a mixture of oil and fire, and a huge wave of high-temperature fire flew towards the two Jinchūriki.

"Playing with fire in front of us?"

The two paid no attention to him, their chakra began to fill their bodies, and the next moment, they actually crashed straight into Jiraiya's wall of fire.

Bang————

Two large holes were created in the fire wall, and Jiraiya also dispelled his ninjutsu and took a half step back.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall"

A giant wall, several meters long, blocked the fireball that Lao Zi spat out.

Then, Jiraiya leaped high into the air.

"The Lion's Dance of Disorder"

The white hair on his head instantly grew longer, tightly binding the man's muscular body.

Old Zi, who was standing nearby, was about to come to the rescue.

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!"

Two blades, each nearly a meter long, appeared before Lao Zi and began to slash wildly.

Behind him, Lin Yi opened his scarlet eyes and, wielding twin blades, attacked Lao Zi from behind.

cut!

Old Purple's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately enveloped himself with Tailed Beast Chakra. However, under the merciless slashing of the world, the immense power even cleaved the Tailed Beast Cloak into a beggar's uniform.

On the other side, Han, who was bound by Jiraiya's hair, struggled to break free, and steam kept gushing from his trachea.

But I just can't ruin this hair.

"Watergate!"

"what."

A kunai suddenly appeared before Han's eyes.

not good!

Han instinctively tilted his head back, dodging the blow that Shui Men was about to deliver to his neck.

"Such a fast teleportation... or..."

Han stared intently at the water gate.

The next moment, he swelled up.

On the other side, Lao Zi, who was overwhelmed by the world and Lin Yi, also angrily unleashed his ultimate move.

Black and red chakra continued to spread and envelop his body.

Unlike the half-tailed beasts Lin Yi had faced before, this time, two colossal beasts, each tens of meters tall, looked down at the three small creatures with disdain.

Roar roar roar roar—

"Game time is over."

"If you want to defeat us, bring the Nine-Tails with you first!"

Immediately afterwards, the aura began to gather, the two tailed beasts opened their mouths, and countless chakra began to converge towards the center.
