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

"Tsk, I don't trust anyone else with that."

Looking at Lin Yi's sincere expression, Minato had no choice but to accept the title of "tool".

"All right…"

Lin Yi gave an OK sign, said something to Shisui and the others outside, and then headed towards the Hokage Building.

Minato's words actually reminded Lin Yi that although he had ulterior motives in seeking out Tsunade.

But doesn't Konoha want Tsunade?

With a great battle about to begin, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted Tsunade to return more than anyone else.

Chapter 69 What a loser, old white-haired dog!

"Go find Tsunade?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and subconsciously picked up his pipe and took a puff.

After careful consideration, he slowly began to speak.

"Is this timing inappropriate?"

Doesn't he want Tsunade to return to the village? Doesn't he know the value of the strongest medical ninja and Kage-level shinobi in the ninja world?

As the Hokage, he was in a precarious situation and wanted Tsunade to return more than anyone else.

There's no other way!

Tsunade's identity predetermined that she couldn't be forcibly brought back.

Even his attempts to persuade him to stay as a teacher were useless, so how could he be easily persuaded to come back?

Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew about Tsunade's hemophobia.

Having this disease, one is extremely unstable, let alone going into battle to fight the enemy, and even treating the wounded becomes very difficult.

If the illness recurs during treatment, it will be extremely dangerous for both the injured person and Tsunade's reputation.

It's better to let Tsunade relax. Anyway, the enemy doesn't know about her problems and won't bother to provoke her.

last of the last.

You, Lin Yi, don't you even know your own surname?

Damn it, the Uchiha clan!

Moreover, Lin Yi and Tsunade didn't have much interaction.

Going there would be a waste of time; Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't see any benefit in it.

Normally, if Lin Yi wanted to go, we would just let him.

But now war is coming soon. They've already lost Tsunade, and now they're going to lose Lin Yi, who was just starting out as an elite Jonin. That's hopeless.

He's not a fool.

Lin Yi was a little confused; this was not what he had imagined.

Logically, shouldn't the Third Hokage have been overjoyed to agree to his request?

It's not entirely Lin Yi's fault for miscalculating, since he didn't expect a ninja of Tsunade's caliber to suffer from hemophobia.

Although Lin Yi didn't know why the Third Hokage wasn't in a hurry to find Tsunade, he could still sense why the Third Hokage didn't want him to leave.

They're afraid of not having a skilled person at a crucial moment.

"Hey, Third Hokage, here's this. I can come back immediately if there's an emergency mission."

Lin Yi took out Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai from his pocket and shook it.

The Third Hokage paused slightly. In that case, Lin Yi would indeed be able to find him at a crucial moment.

But he was still hesitant. After all, it was a pointless thing to do, and Lin Yi was in charge of the class... all of these were problems.

"But Lin Yi's class..."

"I've let Minato temporarily take over as captain, and he'll be working with Minato's team to catch up on... training."

The third generation leader's head turned slightly black.

He realized that Watergate was the biggest victim.

"Anyway, let me give it a try. If I bring it back, we won't have to worry about Sunagakure."

Although Kumogakure is currently waging war against Sunagakure, their initial suspicions were that Konoha was the one responsible for the loss of the Kazekage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of the evaluation that Sakumo Hatake had left for him.

Don't mess with Sunagakure if you don't have Tsunade.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Lin Yi has thought of everything he needs to consider, so letting him give it a try is not a bad idea.

"Alright... In that case, I'll leave it to you, Lin Yi. This mission is a special mission. If you can bring Tsunade back, you'll be paid the S-rank mission reward."

After receiving the mission scroll and some information from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Lin Yi gave an OK sign, turned around, and left.

Most A-rank and S-rank missions, as well as special missions, are issued directly by the Hokage and do not require registration at the mission hall, such as the last trip to Loulan.

In fact, Lin Yi had no particular ambition regarding whether or not he needed to find Tsunade to complete the mission.

If we can bring her back, we can get a reward, and the village will have another super nanny. Everyone will be happy.

It doesn't matter if we can't find it; the key is to get the sealing technique that Jiraiya mentioned Tsunade developed.

Even just a few words of advice can inspire Minato.

Once outside the village gate, Lin Yi didn't wander around like a headless fly.

The prerequisite for finding Tsunade is to find Tsunade first.

Of all the people Lin Yi knew and could find who understood Tsunade best, there was only one.

Jiraiya.

With a contingency plan in place, we pinpointed the direction of the Land of Hot Springs and took off.

Without the three little ones, Lin Yi could travel at more than ten times the speed of sound by himself at full speed.

Setting off in the morning, before noon, Lin Yi had already arrived in the Land of Hot Springs, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Perhaps due to the threat from the Jashin Cult and Iwagakure, Jiraiya stayed in the command room quite seriously this time.

"You brat, what are you doing here again?"

Jiraiya felt a sense of foreboding the moment he saw Lin Yi's face.

Either the research was interfered with, or something went wrong.

Nothing good ever comes of it.

"It's important. The Third Hokage wants me to go find Tsunade."

Lin Yi opened a corner of the mission scroll with a serious expression.

See, it was clearly him who asked Hiruzen Sarutobi for it.

But once he said that, it immediately became clear that the Third Hokage had told him to go find Tsunade.

Justified!

Looking for Tsunade?

Jiraiya's expression froze.

That shouldn't be the case. Tsunade's current condition is not suitable for war. The old man couldn't possibly not know that, so why would he still send Lin Yi to find her?

Does the old man perhaps have some way to cure it?

Jiraiya was certain that it was a genuine Hokage order.

Without further hesitation.

First, have all the ninja under his command withdraw, and then set up a soundproof barrier.

"What do you want to ask, kid?"

"Tsunade's preferences, the places she's most likely to go, and any distinguishing features that would make her easy to find... as well as her experiences leaving the village, etc..."

Lin Yi asked everything he could in one go.

Jiraiya frowned slightly.

But he also knew that now was not the time to hesitate or waver.

"Tsunade's hobby is gambling."

"block?"

Lin Yi was a little puzzled. What was the blockade?

"It's the 'gambling' in 'gambling'."

Lin Yi's expression was somewhat strange.

Orochimaru's face was cold and sinister, like a venomous snake in the shadows.

Old White Hair was even more arrogant than ever.

This Tsunade-hime is a gambler.

Good heavens, they've got it all: prostitution, gambling, and drugs.

This is the Three... Ninja?

Lin Yi could only say that having taught these three disciples, Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly accomplished in his life.

Jiraiya, seeing Lin Yi's expression, felt somewhat embarrassed. He coughed and continued speaking.

"If you want to find her, you can go to the larger casinos in various cities. As for her features, appearance can be altered with a transformation spell, but she brought her disciple Kato Shizune and a summoning beast, a fragrant pig."

Lin Yi nodded and noted it down, which meant it was a combination of two people and a pig.

"And experience..."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, but after thinking it over, he told Lin Yi what he knew.

"Tsunade used to have a younger brother named Nawaki, who was also Orochimaru's disciple, but he died in the Second War... and... no, that's it. Because of this, Tsunade developed a hatred for war."
