It's Lin!
The "masked man" who had never appeared in the original plot turned out to be Lin just as Cross Country initially guessed!
So, why did Lin become the second "Mask Man"?
Why did Lin abandon the faith of Konoha Village and become a member of Kiri Ninja Village, or Madara?
The beginning and end of the matter, taking Kakashi away from the Fourth Hokage's home at this time, already had a preliminary guess.
The truth behind the cross-country speculation is that when the Fourth Hokage sent Lin to the Mist Ninja Village in an attempt to take away the Three-Tailed Isoba from the Mist Ninja Village, the Fourth Hokage's strategy was actually to lose his wife and lose his troops!
Master Madara happened to be using a special secret technique to control Lin when the Fourth Hokage was launching his strategy, so that Cross Country could successfully save Lin who had died long ago in the original plot. However, under Master Madara's plan, the four Hokage Dai's plan still failed like a "joke".
A complete failure!
What about actually?
Is the off-road guess correct?
Basically it’s correct!
It's just that in the cross-country judgment, the time when Madara actually controls Lin is slightly different!
In the cross-country idea, the time Madara controlled Lin was when Lin was lurking in the Mist Ninja Village. In fact, Madara didn't take Lin too seriously at that time. He just used Lin as an abandoned child. On the one hand, he wanted to borrow Lin's jinchuriki identity to suppress the Leaf Village. On the one hand, they are preparing to use Lin's death to successfully complete the "blackening" of Uchiha Obito.
I never thought that in Master Ban's plan, there would be a person who would disrupt the situation, and that person would naturally be Cross Country.
It was the sudden appearance of Cross Country that made all the plans of the Fourth Hokage successful, but made Madara's plan a complete failure.
But what kind of person is Madara?
That is the person who can plan a hundred steps with one step!
Therefore, when the Fourth Hokage and Danzo Shimura worked together in an attempt to use the power of cross-country to re-seal the three-tailed jinchūriki in Lin's body, so that Konoha Village could truly master the power of the three-tailed jinchūriki, Madara was surprisingly involved. In the plan of the Fourth Hokage and Shimura Danzo, it happened that when Cross Country re-sealed the three-tailed Isora in Lin's body, they completely controlled Lin.
In other words, when she returned from that cross-country mission, Lin was under Madara's command.
Even if the cross-country trip successfully brought back the Itachi God, and the Itachi God successfully awakened the Sharingan, the foreshadowing of the tragedy had already been laid, and all that had to wait was for the tragedy to actually happen.
As for the secret technique Madara used to control Lin, and why Lin was able to use ice escape, Cross Country can also guess.
The first question is, what secret technique did Madara use to control Lin?
The answer is that the secret technique that Madara used to control Lin is the secret technique that Madara used to control Uchiha Obito and Nagato.
If Cross Country had opened Kagura's inner eye early and checked the condition of Lin who had transformed into a "mask man", maybe Lin would have been able to escape Madara's control earlier. Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world, so even if Cross Country has arrived at Lin's side now, Master Madara has already used the secret technique of escaping the shackles to change Lin's will.
Even without Madara's control, Lin has also completed her "blackening" and is already as hopeless as the defeated Uchiha Obito.
The second question is, why can Lin use ice escape?
The answer...
is also very simple!
While hiding in the Mist Ninja Village, Madara never gave up studying the Blood Succession Boundary.
Especially as mentioned before, after obtaining the cells of the first Hokage, Master Madara tasted a little bit of sweetness, and he did not forget the blood inheritance limits of many families. When studying the limits of blood inheritance in the Mist Ninja Village, Ice Release was naturally the object Madara wanted to study, and Lin was very unfortunate to become an experimental subject.
Fortunately, Lin's body is very special and can temporarily exert the wonderful effect of ice escape.
The only unfortunate thing is that as the use of Ice Escape deepens, the cells in Lin's body will collapse bit by bit, and there is no way to save her using any secret technique.
As a result, Lin must be an abandoned child even if she is completely controlled by Madara.
It's just that the Fourth Hokage doesn't even know about off-roading now.
Cross Country had long secretly guessed that the identity of the "masked man" was probably Lin. At this time, when he rushed to the battlefield where the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage were fighting, he was very impatient, hoping to change the subsequent events through his own power. Tragedy. But Kakashi in a coma is always a burden, especially if Kakashi knows Lin's identity, Kakashi, whose mind has not yet fully matured, will definitely be in a dilemma.
Therefore, suppressing the heat in his heart, Cross Country could only take Kakashi to Akai, hoping that Akai could protect the unconscious Kakashi.
Instead, it was the Fourth Hokage.
Immediately realizing that the identity of the "masked man" was Lin, the Fourth Hokage's eyes revealed a look of shock, which soon turned into a wry smile.
Immediately, he forgot that he was in a battlefield, heading towards the "masked man" he was fighting with, and the Fourth Mizukage of the Mist Ninja Village.
In an instant, the Fourth Hokage seemed to have changed directly from being a Hokage to being a teacher. He stared bitterly at the "masked man" Lin in front of him and murmured: "Can you give me a reason?" Really, Lin? Why... why did you become a member of the Mist Ninja Village? This time, the purpose of your incarnation as a "mask man" was really... really to kill Kushina?" "Lin? Minato,
you Do you know what you are talking about?"
Suddenly hearing the Fourth Hokage reveal the identity of the "masked man", the Third Hokage looked at the Fourth Hokage in shock, then looked at the "Mask Man" Lin, and shouted in disbelief : "That's right, that's really the breath of the Three-Tails! Minato, I said your plan was a bit radical at the beginning, look at it now! You... what have you done?" As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, the Fourth
Hokage He lowered his head in shame.
When he was radical in the past, Uzumaki Kushina was always by his side, and the Fourth Hokage could still stick to his own ideas.
What now?
First it was Lin, and then the Third Hokage, which dealt a heavy blow to the Fourth Hokage.
But just when the Fourth Hokage lowered his head in shame, hoping that Lin in front of him could give him an answer and give him a step up, what the Fourth Hokage had been waiting for so hard was not the answer from "Mask Man" Lin. Instead, it was The cold voice of the Fourth Mizukage!
"From the moment you were ready to give up on your disciple, the Fourth Hokage, your disciple was ready to give up on you." "Is it still interesting to
say this now? I don't feel it is interesting at all anyway!" "
Because our Mist Ninja Village Lin, everything is ready!"
After saying that, the fourth generation Mizukage's lips raised an indifferent smile.
And just when the fourth Mizukage's indifferent smile appeared on his face, there was another "bang" sound!
Smoke fills the air!
As the smoke gradually spread, a strong shock wave suddenly "collided" the third generation Hokage and the fourth generation Hokage and flew out at the same time. If it weren't for the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage, who were shadow-level warriors in the ninja world, it is estimated that the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage would have died under that terrifying impact.
However, don't look at the Third Hokage. The Fourth Hokage only suffered a slight injury. But with the sneer of the Fourth Hokage, the situation in front of the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage is very not optimistic!
why?
Because just when the Fourth Mizukage raised his sneer, the "masked man" Lin, who was fully controlling the power of the three-tailed Isozu, actually liberated the three-tailed Isokon's power in front of the third and fourth generation Hokages. !
That is to say, the Nine-Tails War in the original plot has not really begun yet!
Now, the attack of Sanwei Isozu is already an unavoidable disaster!
"Oops!"
"The three-tailed Isozu is completely liberated under Lin's control!"
"Minato, call all the ninjas in the village quickly, prepare..." "
Get ready to work together to take down the rampaging three-tailed Isozu!"
