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

"What are you saying! Kakashi, I passed the exam with 320 points on my own!"

"I think the full score is 500. Is there any subject you didn't take?"

"Aaaaaaah! Kakashi, let's duel!"

"Alright, alright, Minato-sensei is still watching."

Lin pulled the two of them back to the ninja academy.

"This is out of respect for Mr. Minato and Rin, not because I'm afraid of you."

Obito stood up straight, seething with resentment.

"You'd better not be."

"Hmmm, then next." Minato took out two bells from his pocket.

"According to tradition, the part should be the bell-grabbing game."

"Stealing the bell?"

Obito countered with a question.

"Yes, it means the three of you will fight against me together, and in the end, you just need to get the two bells hanging on my waist."

Minato nodded and explained.

Obito suddenly realized, but immediately raised a question.

"But why should the three of us only fight over two bells?"

"Because the one who fails to get it will be sent back to school and have their genin status revoked."

Kakashi lowered his voice and threatened Obito.

"Is...is that so?"

Obito's face was somewhat pale.

He's simple-minded, not stupid; he's stubborn, but he knows his strength is definitely a bit weaker than Kakashi's.

Kakashi has taken one bell, so won't Rin and I have to fight over the remaining one?

If I manage to snatch it, Lin wants to go back; if I give it to Lin, I want to go back myself.

No matter what, I can't be with Lin anymore!

“Of course…” Minato said with a smile, drawing out the last syllable.

Obito's heart was also in his throat.

"Not any more."

"Whoo~"

“There are three bells in total.” Minato clipped the two bells from his hand to his waist.

“I have two of them.”

"Then the one left?"

Nohara Lin asked curiously.

"The last one is with me."

A voice that Kakashi knew best appeared.

Senior brother?!

In an instant, the three noticed that a boy slightly shorter than them was standing next to the water gate.

so hot.

This is the second time Rin Nohara has expressed her feelings.

The first time was when I saw Minato-sensei in the morning.

However, it is different from the Minato.

If Minato is the warm and gentle sunlight on the Hokage Rock, then Lin Yi is the cold and serene moon amidst the cliffs.

This older brother looks like someone you don't want to mess with.

"Brother Lin Yi."

"Senior brother."

Obito and Kakashi shouted at the same time.

Then they looked at each other at the same time.

"Senior brother? (Brother Lin Yi?)"

Only Nohara Rin blinked blankly.

what's the situation?

Seemingly noticing Rin's curiosity, Obito spoke first: "Lin Yi is from my clan. I know him because my house is near his ninja tool shop. But Lin Yi doesn't hold any position in the clan, so I always thought he wasn't a ninja."

Nohara Rin nodded. No wonder she had black hair just like Obito.

Kakashi also spoke up: "My senior brother was my father's first and only disciple."

This time, Nohara Rin was genuinely surprised.

Who is Kakashi's father?

As the Third Hokage aged, he was hailed as the greatest ninja in Konoha.

Was he the only disciple of such a person?

But I've never heard Kakashi mention this before.

Minato didn't interrupt them immediately, but waited until they finished speaking before explaining the rules.

"Alright, I'll give you thirty minutes to prepare. You can set traps or discuss tactics. In short, if you get the three bells from me and Lin Yi, you'll pass the level. Be careful, though, if you don't get the bells, the consequences will be very serious."

After saying that, he and Lin Yi disappeared from the spot, leaving only a voice behind.

"We will enter through the main gate of the third training field in thirty minutes."

Obito's face darkened again.

Good news, there are three bells.

Bad news, if I don't get it, I still have to go back to school.

"Kakashi, if Lin Yi is your senior, how strong is he?"

Minato-sensei was the team leader, a Jonin, and the strength of a Jonin is undoubtedly exceptional.

Then the only solution is to try to find a solution from one's own people.

Let's pick the softest persimmons.

"Don't even think about it. Senior brother is a Jonin of the Anbu. As far as I know, half a year ago, when Minato... the result of the sparring between the teacher and senior brother, senior brother basically won."

A Jonin from the Anbu?!

Chapter 35: Smash Warudo! Use the Thousand Years of Death on him!

"If Brother Lin Yi is so amazing, how come I've never heard of him before?"

Obito could hardly believe it.

What does the Anbu mean to a newly graduated Genin?

That's like a raw recruit watching elite special forces.

Anbu jounin?

Elite Special Forces King!

But if Lin Yi had such abilities, his neighbors had no idea, and there was no legend about him at the school.

Could Kakashi be lying to me?

"It's right that you don't know."

Kakashi glanced at Obito.

Now it's practically public knowledge that my senior brother is in the Dark Division, and besides, they're considered his own people, so it doesn't matter if they know.

"Because my senior joined the Dark Division on the day he graduated."

"What?! Right after graduation... you joined the Anbu?"

Obito jumped up immediately.

What kind of monster is this?

They both graduated, but one went to the Dark Division, and the other went to catch cats.

The difference is too big!

Lin also covered her mouth in surprise.

“But… if Brother Lin Yi has such strength, there’s no reason why there’s no word about him in the family or at school.”

The family could say it's because they joined the secret service early and couldn't reveal it due to secrecy, but what about the school?

To be able to join the Dark Division right after graduation, one must have gotten perfect scores every year and always been number one.

"Ah, because my senior graduated after just over a year, his classmates didn't have much of a chance to get to know him. As for graduating after just over a year, that was a record at the time."

Even with a mask on, Obito could still feel Kakashi's smile.

"Because I broke my senior's record later, you will naturally only know my record."

This is Kakashi's proudest achievement.

Damn it, he got away with it again!

Obito stomped his foot.

"Alright, stop wasting time, you bottom-of-the-barrel." Kakashi stopped joking with Obito and said seriously, "I'm saying all this just to tell you that there's no way to take shortcuts. If you don't want to go back to the Ninja Academy, then you'll have to follow my instructions."

"Understood, Kakashi."
