In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

When winter arrives, snowflakes drift down from the sky, and the temperature drops to several degrees below zero.

Lin Fan sat on the porch outside his house. He hadn't used his evolution points for a while now, as he was researching medicine.

The reason is this.

"Since animals and alcohol can be improved using evolution points, why not try evolving medicine?"

So Lin Fan asked Tsunade for some common medicines.

However, upon examining common medications, it was found that most of them were for treating injuries and illnesses.

For example, cold granules, fever-reducing capsules, and liniments for bruises and sprains.

Enhancing this kind of thing only increases the probability of curing diseases, which is meaningless.

So Lin Fan found three more special medicines in Tsunade's medicine storehouse.

"Estrogen-regulating capsules"

"Liuwei Shenbao Pills"

"Nourishing the Spirit and Strengthening the Heart Pill"

The third type is a medicine specifically for people with unstable mental and emotional states. For example, Kakashi could use this medicine to speed up his recovery after being affected by Itachi's genjutsu and lying in a hospital bed.

"Three medicines, if each one increases the level by one, that's 3 points; if it increases by two, it's 9 points; if it increases by three, it's 39 points. My goodness!"

Lin Fan counted on his fingers.

He currently has 55 points. If he evolves all three medicines three times, his "savings" will almost be depleted in no time.

"Never mind, I'll just look at one for now." Lin Fan thought for a moment and then focused his attention on the six... estrogen regulating capsules.

"Estrogen Regulating Capsules - Evolution +1": "Slightly increases estrogen levels for better results."

"?"

What kind of garbage is this?! Evolve again!

"Estrogen Regulating Capsules - Evolution +1" → "Estrogen Regulating Capsules - Evolution +2": "After taking it, the patient's estrogen levels will rise rapidly until the deficient portion is filled, without any side effects."

"???"

3 o'clock is gone.

Lin Fan suddenly felt heartbroken. Although he knew there would be a trap, he didn't expect it to be this big.

It's also possible that this medicine comes in boxes of dozens of pills, with a few pills taken at a time, three times a day, and patients usually need to take it for several months or even half a year to get better... Damn it! Those unscrupulous merchants!! Order more!!!

"Estrogen Regulating Capsules - Evolution +2" → "Estrogen Regulating Capsules - Evolution +3": "After taking it, estrogen levels will exceed a critical point. Women who take it will experience increased attractiveness, and men who take it may have a small chance of becoming female."

"?!?!"

I got an SSR! From now on, I'll give the medicine to those characters who are drawn as women but are actually men, and they'll all take it without making a sound.

"But is it only a small probability?"

Lin Fan looked at the evolution data on the medicine, thought for a moment, and still didn't evolve a fourth time. Although the fourth time would likely result in a high probability or 100% chance of becoming a girl, it wasn't necessary... mainly because he couldn't bear to.

"I'll put them away now, they might come in handy in the future," Lin Fan thought, putting the three medicines into the box he had prepared.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.

Lin Fan's ears twitched slightly, but he didn't look.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pulled open.

Tsunade stood at the doorway, breathing rapidly, and spoke quickly.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Lin Fan put the box under the bed, stepped back out, stood up, turned around, and clapped his hands: "What's wrong? Has the four-nation coalition invaded?"

"What four-nation alliance? No, that's not right." Tsunade shook her head, then said in a serious tone, "Something happened in the village, or more precisely, something happened to White Fang."

White teeth? Leaf-like white teeth?

"What does that have to do with me?" Lin Fan said irritably. "I don't even know White Fang."

Tsunade: "..."

Oh right, she knows White Fang, but Lin Fan doesn't, so for Lin Fan...emmmm.

"Alright, I was too hasty." Tsunade sighed helplessly, "Jiraiya isn't in the village, and Orochimaru is probably doing nothing, so I had no choice but to confide in you."

Lin Fan thought for a moment, then went with Tsunade to the other party's living room to drink and listen.

It's not that I don't want to drink tea, it's that Tsunade's family doesn't even have tea.

"...The mission details were originally classified, but you're a special case. I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else." Tsunade took a sip of sake and said, "Sakumo's mission this time is two months long, an S-rank top-secret mission. The objective is to help the Fire Country Daimyo eliminate some people from the Wind Country who have left their businesses in the Mountain Country. As for the Sand Village, Sakumo's strength is just right for dealing with them..."

After a pause, Tsunade's tone grew increasingly serious:

"But White Fang is only 100 meters away from the mission target this time. If he doesn't rescue the person, the mission will be completed. But White Fang is facing two choices."

"First, rescue the comrade who is being attacked."

"Second, disregard the lives of your comrades, kill the mission target, and complete the mission."

"And White Fang chose one."

At this moment, Tsunade sighed:

"The daimyo is furious because the reward for this mission was very high, more than ten million, and there were also some agreements reached with the village, which are now all void because of the failure."

Our men spent two months gathering intelligence there, suffering heavy losses, before finally finding this opportunity to infiltrate and kill the target, only to ruin it.

"This time, White Teeth might be in big trouble."

Especially since the other party holds such an important position as the head of the secret service, many people have long been envious and resentful, and there are probably many who would kick him while he's down.

Lin Fan took a sip of wine.

He thought for a moment and then asked.

"And what about the white teeth?"

Tsunade shook her head.

"He didn't say anything, only that he would accept whatever the village decides to do with him."

"What did the Hokage say?"

"The Hokage said that White Fang's actions had a very bad influence. If he weren't an Anbu, there would be room for leniency, but because he was an Anbu member and the Anbu leader, the village cannot easily forgive him, but they will not exterminate him either."

But the original White Teeth died.

Lin Fan thought to himself.

"So now, isn't White Teeth being cyberbullied?"

Aside from some original ninjas, aren't all those named and unnamed passersby who inherited the Will of Fire from Konoha the Will of Conqueror?

Lin Fan suddenly found it interesting.

He also wanted to challenge White Fang.

"Cyberbullying?" Tsunade wondered.

"It means being criticized by the villagers," Lin Fan explained.

"Oh, that's true, and it's quite serious," Tsunade said. "Now White Fang basically doesn't go out anymore, he just stays at home all day. I only found out what happened after I heard the rumors in the village and went to the Hokage Building to ask."

"So, this has been going on for several days, and then it was 'accidentally' leaked, and eventually spread throughout the village?" Lin Fan smelled a conspiracy. This was too interesting. Was this the Naruto conspiracy theory? Damn Hiruzen Sarutobi, you must have harmed Sakumo Hatake!

Tsunade sensed the sarcasm in Lin Fan's tone, but she forced a smile and said, "The Hokage probably doesn't know."

"?" Lin Fan tilted his head: "If you don't know, how do you know?"

Tsunade: "..."

"If you want to see White Fang die, then see White Fang die. Don't say such things." Lin Fan waved his hand with a smile.

After a long silence, Tsunade said, "The Third Hokage isn't that kind of person."

"But he let it go, didn't he?" Lin Fan said calmly.

Tsunade fell silent again.

After drinking half a jin of sake in one go, Tsunade's face was flushed.

After a long silence, she spoke.

"I want to stop all of this. I don't want to see anyone else die."

Is it because you don't want to see anyone die, or because you don't want to see the Hokage make one mistake after another?

Lin Fan did not say this.

"Since the mission failed, why not just complete it? It's that simple."

"Completed? Are you kidding me?" Tsunade gritted her teeth. "That target failed in the assassination attempt and returned to the capital of the Land of Wind overnight. Even if we wanted to pursue them now, we couldn't possibly cross into their territory and kill them. If we were caught red-handed on their soil, such an act would be considered a declaration of war, with far greater consequences!"

"Then let them not find out."

Lin Fan's gaze fell upon "Instantaneous Movement Technique - Evolution +1": "When you use Instantaneous Movement Technique, movement will add a layer of flawed defensive shield in the designated direction, and the movement speed boost will be slightly increased."

"evolution!"

"Blink Technique - Evolution +1" → "Blink Technique - Evolution +2": "The flawed defensive shield is upgraded to a defensive shield, with double the effect of the flawed defensive shield, and the movement speed boost is greatly increased."

"Go again!"

"Blink Technique - Evolution +2" → "Blink Technique - Evolution +3": "Full-body defense is upgraded to a defensive shield spike, with 1.5 times the hardness of a defensive shield, and also has an attack effect; movement speed boost is doubled."

"I'm quite confident in my own speed."

Seeing that the Body Flicker Technique had evolved to the point of being abnormal after three iterations, Lin Fan said confidently. He believed that with his current speed, and by using the Substitution Technique at 1.5 times its original speed, layering it on top of each other, even if Tsunade went all out, she would definitely not be able to keep up with him.
