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

Looking at Jiraiya's awkward demeanor, Lin Yi sensed the stench of lies and concealment.

"Old White Hair, you'd better tell the truth. If we can't find it, it's all your fault."

Jiraiya's face turned bright red.

"Of course I'm telling the truth! Yes, she had a boyfriend before, but he died in World War II, that's all!"

After gesturing wildly, Jiraiya quickly finished speaking.

What's your boyfriend's name?

"...Kato Dan."

Chapter 70 Finding the Key to Tsunade's Heart

Lin Yi suppressed a smile and patted Jiraiya on the shoulder.

It's alright, Old White Hair.

There is no Gotham City or Batman in this world, so you don't have to worry about anyone coming to arrest you.

If Lin Yi couldn't tell from Old White Hair's words that he liked Tsunade, then all his years of experience as a relationship guru in his previous life would have been for nothing.

No wonder Jiraiya stammered at the end.

Kato Dan, Kato Shizune.

Lin Yi blinked.

"Truly master and disciple?"

"nonsense!"

Jiraiya immediately understood what Lin Yi meant and jumped up and down in a panic.

"Kato Shizune is Kato Dan's niece!"

Ang~

Lin Yi gave a look of sudden realization.

Jiraiya really wanted to punch him.

Having obtained what he needed, Lin Yi didn't linger any longer. After bidding farewell, he turned and flew back towards the Land of Fire.

The Land of Fire, its capital.

Instead of rushing to find Tsunade, Lin Yi first found a place to study the information he had just retrieved from the Konoha Anbu.

It is naturally Kato Dan and Senju Nawaki.

Do you even know what the value of a junior officer in the secret service is?

Lin Yi likes to use his power to intimidate others because violence is often the fastest way to solve problems in this world.

But he's not like the Hidden Cloud Village, who only knows how to move his muscles.

When brute force alone cannot solve a problem, one must use one's brain.

Whether it's sending Tsunade back to the village or having her teach him the chakra storage technique, the initiative isn't in Lin Yi's hands.

And Tsunade is not someone he can coerce with force... unless he doesn't want to stay in Konoha anymore.

Just as he plotted to become a disciple of White Fang when he was young, and once schemed against Danzo.

In reality, none of these were sophisticated schemes; they were simply based on a calculation of human nature.

Lin Yi didn't need to know what Tsunade's humanity was.

He didn't care what kind of person Tsunade was; all he needed to do was grasp the weaknesses unique to Tsunade's humanity.

Tsunade's grandfather was the First Hokage, her great-uncle was the Second Hokage, and her teacher was the Third Hokage.

He can be described as the most powerful second-generation official in Konoha, with impeccable political connections.

Such people are usually strong-willed and use this strength as a cover to conceal their inner vulnerability.

At the same time, what this type of person recognizes is definitely not material things or skills and strength.

For someone like Tsunade, having a powerful background is not a problem; she herself is the biggest powerful background.

She wasn't short of money, but even if she was, she couldn't gamble all the time, especially since Jiraiya said she always lost when she gambled.

She is not lacking in strength either; she is the strongest medical ninja, one of the Legendary Sannin, and a Kage-level existence.

Therefore, conventional coercion and inducement are completely ineffective against Tsunade.

What truly moved her were definitely some spiritual qualities.

With a clear direction, Lin Yi's speed in searching for information naturally increased dramatically.

Senju Nawaki, Tsunade's younger brother, all those miscellaneous things, the ninjutsu he knows, the missions he's completed, the time it took him to get his rating... none of that matters.

Lin Yi didn't even bother to read it; he only paid attention to two sentences.

First, Nawaki wanted to become Hokage. Second, he died in the war.

Then turn to Kato's broken piece.

Skip over any spiritualization techniques, or the number of tasks completed.

First, he dreamed of becoming Hokage; second, he wanted to die in war; and third, he wanted to support medical ninja reform.

Lin Yi's smile gradually became more unrestrained.

Look, he now has the key to Tsunade's heart in his hands.

Of course, he had no interest in running up to Tsunade and shouting things like "I want to be Hokage."

Tsunade wouldn't believe it, and he couldn't act it out.

That's similar to Obito and Naruto's style.

Speaking of which... in Naruto's world, Tsunade did indeed become the Fifth Hokage.

But if he can't act, he can be a director.

As for the actor, Lin Yi focused his attention on a name.

Shizune Kato.

She is her lover's niece and also Tsunade's apprentice.

The apprentice also has a younger brother.

Lin Yi absolutely refused to believe that Shizune didn't carry a trace of Tsunade's longing for Dan and Nawaki.

It can be said that silence naturally occupies a significant portion of Tsunade's heart.

Now, what Lin Yi needs to do is increase the proportion of this part, thereby using silence to influence Tsunade.

For example, have Shizune go to Tsunade and shout that she wants to become Hokage.

As for whether Shizune wants to become Hokage?

unimportant.

What the actors think is determined by the screenwriter and director.

All she needs to do is act well.

After roughly outlining a framework in his mind, Lin Yi packed his things and set off again.

Let's start by looking in the casinos of the capital.

With the screenwriter and director in place, the next step is naturally to find the lead actor they've already chosen.

Starting from the nation level, Lin Yi began a point-to-point search.

First, there are two people and one pig.

Secondly, I always lose when I bet.

Using these two points, Lin Yi found Tsunade's whereabouts in just a few days.

It is a city adjacent to the capital of the Land of Fire.

Although it cannot compare to the capital, it is still quite prosperous.

Disguised as an ordinary gambler, Lin Yi naturally stepped into the casino, acting like a seasoned gambler.

His gaze, however, inadvertently fell upon a table where dice were being rolled.

A blonde girl with a single ponytail was slapping the table, her face flushed, while a black-haired girl stood beside her, holding a piglet.

found it.

"Lady Tsunade... Lady Tsunade, we're almost out of money this time."

Shizune walked up to Tsunade with a worried expression and whispered in her ear.

"Huh? Didn't you just receive 500,000 taels?"

"Yes, but Lady Tsunade, you've been losing and now you only have 50,000 ryo left."

Tsunade's expression froze.

Then he waved his hand again.

"It's okay, I'll definitely win the next round!"

Tsunade clenched her fist and then pushed out all 50,000 ryo from Shizune's arms.

"Go all in on the leopard!"

It's impossible to win back your losses in one go when betting on Big or Small; only by betting on Three of a Kind can you possibly win it all back at once.

"Go all in on the leopard."

Lin Yi, disguised as a gambler, also placed all his chips into the Leopard Zone.

The dealer, suppressing a laugh, nodded and began shaking the dice.

What a fat sheep! Even after losing like this, they still dare to bet on the leopard.

Unseen by the crowd, Star Platinum's figure flashed by.

"Okay, place your bet now, open!"
