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

"Isn't that obvious enough?"

Lin Yi has his own bottom line.

He never does anything that jeopardizes his principles.

However, his bottom line is rather flexible.

For those whose strength is inferior to his, he naturally disdains playing games and simply crushes them head-on; that's the easiest and quickest way.

But now we can't beat them, so we have to resort to underhanded tactics.

"what!"

A flash of lightning, and the Cloud Ninja furthest from the Third Raikage screamed in agony.

Under gas compression, the burning of the flames becomes much stronger, coupled with lightning speed.

He only had time to let out a scream before he turned into a charred corpse.

"Oh dear, this is a new ninjutsu. I haven't mastered it yet. I hope the Raikage will forgive my poor skills."

Lin Yi was being polite, but his expression grew colder and colder.

The blade had already drawn a line of blood across Ai's neck.

"Maintaining ninjutsu is tiring, and the Raikage probably wouldn't want my hands to shake, would he?"

Raikage's expression grew increasingly grim.

He had fought Lin Yi before and knew his speed.

Not as good as him, but not by much.

At the very least, the speed at which he arrived would be enough to rescue a few ninjas by the time the lightning swords fell from the sky, but it would be impossible for him to match the speed at which Lin Yi swung his sword.

"it is good."

Raikage closed his eyes and slowly uttered a single word.

He then instantly appeared beside Jiraiya and threw him towards Lin Yi.

A cloud formed, quietly holding Jiraiya back, and then quickly rose.

The Third Raikage was not one to hesitate; just as he had told Lin Yi to leave when he knew he couldn't keep him.

It's the same now; we can't stop it.

Can only compromise.

Of course, if Lin Yi dares to harbor any ulterior motives, the entire Hidden Cloud Village will abandon its wars against all other countries and launch a full-scale attack on Konoha until no one is spared, until death does not the end.

Lin Yi also knew that now was definitely not the time to be greedy for small gains.

That's right. In Lin Yi's eyes, these Cloud Hidden Ones, even including the AB combination, are nothing more than small gains.

He raised his hand and wiped it away.

The wind stopped, the fire died down, and the thunder vanished without a trace.

He nodded to the Raikage, then ascended to the top of the mountain.

Above the clouds, Lin Yi led Jiraiya towards the Land of Fire.

The Third Raikage waved to the Cloud Ninja from his spot.

"Search all Konoha strongholds, leaving no stone unturned. Once you find nothing amiss, destroy them all."

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

……

Lin Yi did not see any retreating Konoha ninjas on the way, nor did he see any ninjas coming to his aid.

First, all other Konoha ninja stationed at the hot springs were wiped out, and reinforcements have not yet arrived.

Secondly, the reinforcements that came to help encountered the retreating Konoha ninjas and learned that, apart from him and Jiraiya, all the survivors had already withdrawn, so they returned to Konoha together.

Lin Yi prefers the second option.

After all, given their strength, they weren't even at the Kage level, so going there would only be a waste of their lives.

The underground scenery passed by quickly.

Jiraiya finally woke up slowly.

"Ok?"

The scenery around us kept changing.

"Lin Yi?"

Turning his head, he saw Lin Yi.

How did you bring me out?

Jiraiya could hardly believe it.

He felt a long-lost despair when facing the Third Raikage, far exceeding the despair he felt when facing Hanzo alongside Tsunade and Orochimaru.

Even Jiraiya doubted whether Hanzo could still address the Third Raikage with the title of demigod.

But this ninja who drove him to despair lost to Lin Yi?

Even if they don't lose, they're bound to suffer a loss at Lin Yi's hands.

Surely it's not like Lin Yi and the Third Raikage became good friends and the other party just gave it to him for free, right?

"I beat the Raikage into submission, and he handed you over voluntarily."

Lin Yi grinned mischievously.

"real or fake?"

Jiraiya didn't quite believe it.

If the Raikage can easily defeat him, and he can beat the Raikage, doesn't that mean Lin Yi can also easily defeat him?

"Of course it's fake."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes. "That guy is a monster. How could we possibly beat him?"

"It was just a little trick, and it can only be used once."

The most important aspect of what makes a dirty trick dirty is its underhanded nature.

Once you've used it once and put it in the sun, you can't play with it again.

Even in this war with the Hidden Cloud Village, he used time stop far too many times.

You can look down on the intelligence of the Cloud Ninja.

But their combat wisdom should not be underestimated.

If they can actually reverse his time stop, Lin Yi's move will be greatly diminished.

After all, in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, ever since the whole world learned that Jotaro could stop time, Star Platinum has been getting the short end of the stick.

Intelligence is often more important than hard power.

Jiraiya was finally relieved.

He was certainly happy to have survived.

But if this bastard becomes that strong, he feels it would be worse than killing him.

"But this time, we lost."

Jiraiya regained his composure and said in a deep voice.

"Yeah, a pretty thorough defeat."

Konoha's stronghold in the Land of Hot Springs was completely destroyed by Kumogakure.

It's estimated that news of the Cloud Village's formal invasion of the Land of Fire will arrive soon.

Don't be fooled by how glorious Lin Yi's rescue of Jiraiya was; in reality, he was just taking Jiraiya with him when he escaped.

"I wonder what the situation is like in the Land of Grass."

Jiraiya's heart also began to feel heavy.

House seemingly endless rain.

If the Land of Earth were to mobilize all its resources, the Land of Grass's situation might not fare much better.

……

The Land of Grass, a secret underground place.

"Master Ban, is this your junior?"

"Haha, that's interesting."

The extremely aged Madara Uchiha looked at the information sent by White Zetsu.

[Uchiha Lin Yi's assessment of the two: Not bad]

"Hahahahaha."

Although his voice was aged, it was still deep and resonant.

“This child… resembles me.”

Chapter 93 Uchiha Madara

"Lord Madara, shall we choose him as our proxy?"

A clump of black, muddy substance clung to a white figure, who spoke in a hoarse voice.

"It's hard."

Madara Uchiha shook his head slightly.

Like him, Lin Yi was brave and intelligent. He could suppress others with force without using his brain, but if he could, he would still use schemes and tricks.

However, such a person is unlikely to become someone else's proxy.

"Lord Ban, what do you mean?"
