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

"Hey kid, don't mess around. Besides, if you really say something that disrupts spacetime, you might disappear yourself."

When Jiraiya heard that last syllable, he could roughly tell that his future ending wouldn't be very good.

But so what? Who is he?

One of the Legendary Sannin, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, the guide of the Chosen One...

If his future were truly bleak, he would accept it with a smile, for Jiraiya had never felt guilty.

"It doesn't matter. If you're all okay, then that kind of thing doesn't matter at all!" Naruto finally couldn't hold back his tears and they burst out.

If his father, Lin Yi, the lecherous immortal, could live on in the future, then he would be willing to accept even if his father disappeared.

"What if it's a parallel universe? Even if you say it, it won't change your past." Jiraiya looked at Naruto seriously.

On the way here, Minato told Jiraiya that Naruto was most likely a future ninja from a parallel universe.

"At least, I saved the lecherous immortal of this time and space."

Naruto stared intently at Jiraiya, his eyes showing no sign of backing down.

"What an unlovable brat." Jiraiya pursed his lips and patted Naruto's head.

"Alright, I don't need a brat like you to save me. Just take care of yourself."

Jiraiya looked left and right, then his gaze settled on a ramen shop.

It looks like it just opened today, with heat constantly rising from inside.

"Let me treat you to ramen. You didn't have breakfast this morning, did you?"

"I'll treat you to a meal, as long as you're willing to listen to me."

Naruto shook his head and turned to Jiraiya instead.

"Tch, forget it then." Jiraiya curled his lip.

But seeing Naruto looking dejected, Jiraiya let out a sigh of relief and gently patted his shoulder.

"Ok?"

Naruto looked up at Jiraiya, puzzled.

"If we don't go now, it seems we'll have to wait in line."

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded emphatically, leading Jiraiya as they jogged into the shop.

After ordering two bowls of specialty ramen, Naruto was eager to tell Jiraiya about the future.

Most importantly, tell him not to try to gather intelligence.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiraiya picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Naruto's mouth.

"I only promised to eat ramen together."

Naruto swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth.

Two wisps of mist slowly rose in front of the two people sitting side by side.

Naruto seemed to have returned to the scene when he first went to Ichiraku Ramen with the perverted sage.

At that moment, at this moment.

"Is it good?" Jiraiya asked Naruto, who was rather silent beside him, while slurping up his ramen.

"Mmm!" Naruto raised his slightly reddened eyes, but his face was full of happiness. "It's delicious!"

Even though the shop owner only started preparing yesterday, even though the flavor of Loulan is very different from that of Muye, even though the ingredients are really just average...

But Naruto really wished he could eat this bowl of noodles more slowly.

Slower.

"Naruto." Jiraiya took a book out of his pocket and handed it to Naruto.

Naruto took it and looked at it.

"A Tale of Strong Willpower and Endurance?"

"Ah, it's just a draft. I wrote it a few years ago when I was traveling in the Land of Rain."

Jiraiya patted Naruto's yellow hair. "Coincidentally, the protagonist of the book is also named Naruto."

Jiraiya finished the last bite of noodles and smiled at Naruto.

"No matter what, as a ninja, you must always be strong. Don't run away from difficulties. Don't be discouraged by setbacks."

……

Finally, believe in your dreams, persevere, and no matter how unrealistic they may seem, there's always a possibility of them coming true.

Naruto put down his chopsticks without interrupting Jiraiya's lectures, which he used to dislike the most.

At the same time, I also had a bad feeling.

Jiraiya reached out and wiped away Naruto's tears, which were welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"Naruto, if I have any disciples in the future, I will train them to be as outstanding as you."

After saying this, Jiraiya's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only an empty bowl of noodles and the Tough Ninja Manual in Naruto's hand.

"Lustful fairy!"

Naruto Uzumaki finally broke down, and tears began to blur his vision.

He rushed out and began searching the streets for Jiraiya.

"Why won't you listen to me finish...?"

I just... I just wanted you to live...

Chapter 51 Carrying the Expectations of Another World

Seeing Naruto return looking dejected, Yamato knew without a doubt that Jiraiya hadn't listened to Naruto's "spoiler" after all.

“How could a hero like Lord Jiraiya possibly accept such ‘help’?”

Yamato sighed inwardly.

However, Naruto was still Naruto. He didn't stay down for long before throwing himself back into training.

For a week, almost everyone was engaged in high-intensity training, except for sleeping and eating. The Queen of Loulan spared no effort in providing food and other necessary supplies.

Such an opportunity to take time off work.

It not only greatly helped Naruto and the three little ninjas who needed to grow, but also Lin Yi and Minato benefited greatly.

After seven days of special training, Lin Yi, seeing Naruto's reluctance, gave Centipede one more day of his life.

Let Minato spend one more day with Naruto as a father.

Shopping, dining, and enjoying the beautiful desert scenery...

Although Naruto had already visited many of the places, he didn't get bored at all. This was the first time in his life that he had "traveled" with his father.

As night fell, Lin Yi tossed the barely breathing Centipede onto the ground.

My face, swollen like a pig's head, still hasn't gone down.

"Are you ready, Naruto, Yamato?"

The world has quietly pressed the blade against the centipede's neck.

"Dad, Brother Lin Yi, Kakashi-sensei, Obito, Rin, see you in the future!"

Naruto waved and loudly bid his final farewell.

"Naruto, goodbye." Minato Namikaze waved back.

Lin Yi seemed to remember something and skillfully swallowed a soldier's ration pill.

Chakra began to surge.

"Naruto, come here."

Naruto scratched his head, wondering why his older brother Lin Yi had called him, but he still obediently walked to his side.

Lin Yi gently placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder, continuously channeling chakra into Naruto's body until he felt somewhat weak. Then he called out to Minato, "Minato, seal this chakra within Naruto's body."

Minato hesitated for a moment, then nodded and placed a seal on the spot where Lin Yi had injected chakra to ensure it wouldn't dissipate.

"Naruto, these are the hand seals to release the seal." After teaching Naruto a simple hand seal, Minato gave Lin Yi a gesture indicating that he was done.

Naruto blinked, wondering what his older brother Lin Yi was doing.

"Naruto, this chakra is almost 80% of my current level, and it's also the maximum I can transfer. If we encounter danger, release it."

Lin Yi smiled and said to Naruto, then held up one finger.

"1 seconds."

"Huh? Brother Lin Yi, what do you mean by '1 second'?"

Lin Yi didn't answer again, but shook his head, indicating that Naruto could go back.

Yamato walked toward Naruto, but couldn't resist stopping when he passed Kakashi.

boom!

"Ouch!" Kakashi shrank back, his face darkening.

"Sorry, Kakashi-senpai, it's your fault for bullying me all this time, hahaha, I just couldn't help it." Yamato threw his head back and laughed heartily twice. "Goodbye, everyone."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and covered his head.

Yamato, right? I'll remember that name. My dad is the current head of the Anbu, and my senior brother will be the next head of the Anbu, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

You wait, you better not get caught by me.

Lin Yi recovered some of his chakra, the world reappeared, and he picked up the Sun Blade that had just fallen to the ground.

A cold light flashed.

Then, the technique on Centipede's body was released, and the enormous energy remaining in the Dragon Vein erupted. A burst of purple light appeared, and Naruto and Yamato had already disappeared before their eyes.

……

Konoha 66, Loulan.
