In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

In the dark and gloomy Anbu base, a white light suddenly flashed and shone directly on the face of a young ninja.

The young ninja's eyes narrowed subconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, a calm and unassuming voice came from in front of me.

"Name."

"...Toda Seiji."

"age."

"27 years old."

"gender."

"...What do you think, sir? —Bang!"

The young man slammed his hand on the table, and the young woman next to him, wearing a mask and a dark uniform, stopped writing.

"Toda Seiji! Do you know what a terrible mistake you've made?! Do you believe I'll exile you to the... I mean, to a border prison to do hard labor!"

The female operative codenamed Snowflake twitched slightly at the corner of her mouth.

Border prison, what is that? Does Konoha have one?

Seeing that even this newly appointed "big shot" who didn't even wear the ANBU uniform had said such a thing, Toda Seiji could only sigh helplessly.

"male."

"Hmm, that's more like it." Lin Fan, who had stood up, sat back down in his chair and said, "Tell me. Why did you disrupt the Fourth Hokage's inauguration ceremony?"

......

The interrogation was quick, and both Toda Seiji and the other Chunin confessed.

"They both say they came 'voluntarily' to obstruct your succession." Lin Fan handed the interrogation report to Tsunade.

Tsunade took it, glanced at it, and the two seemed to be coordinating their stories, giving almost identical answers, but also identically stupid.

"Voluntary? Is there such a thing as voluntary participation in this?" Tsunade nonchalantly tossed the report aside. "Kama, could you please find Orochimaru for me?"

Lian, who was standing next to Lin Fan, nodded and then disappeared with a whoosh.

......

Orochimaru has arrived.

When the laboratory's seal was lifted, Orochimaru knew that his fate was now in someone else's hands.

"Congratulations, Tsunade." Orochimaru offered his congratulations the moment he saw Tsunade.

"Well, thank you so much for the wonderful show you gave me." Tsunade tossed the two men's interrogation statements to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru reached out and caught it, glanced at it briefly, and immediately understood everything.

"If I said I didn't do this, would you believe me?"

"I believe you," Tsunade said.

"I really didn't expect you... um?" Lin Fan realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence and turned to look at Tsunade. When he saw that face that showed great trust in her comrades, he couldn't help but recall the scene in the original work when Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were surrounded by Iwa ninja.

Orochimaru was equally surprised at this moment.

It gives people the astonishing feeling that someone randomly picked a test subject for an experiment, injected them with a vial of interstitial cells, and then got up as if nothing had happened and even asked for another vial.

"I've always trusted you... Orochimaru... Of course, this is the trust of a comrade, and also the tacit understanding between comrades." Tsunade shook her head and said, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will definitely fulfill my duties as the Fourth Hokage."

"Tsunade..." Orochimaru's cold face softened slightly. His indifferent gaze, which looked at Lin Fan as if he were an ant or a weed, now showed a hint of gratitude for Tsunade's trust.

Orochimaru did not know who Lin Fan was.

Never doubt the daily working hours of a researcher who is fascinated by science and immersed in scientific research.

"Actually... I've conducted quite a few human experiments during this time." Orochimaru hesitated for a long time before finally revealing what he had done.

"Human experimentation... Huff!" Tsunade exhaled a heavy breath. If you were to ask her what she was most angry about and hated, besides the tragic past that reminded her of, with her hands stained with blood... then human experimentation would undoubtedly be her second biggest trigger.

"...You should know how many people from the Senju clan died in that experiment."

Tsunade said in a heavy tone.

"Of course." Orochimaru nodded, reciting the number of Senju family members who participated in the experiment as if reciting a textbook: "A total of 105 people."

"in......"

"No need to say anything more."

Tsunade raised her hand and interrupted Orochimaru.

At this moment, Tsunade's head was lowered, her face was gloomy, and her expression was somewhat unreadable.

After a long pause, Tsunade's voice broke the silence of the room: "Can I still trust you? Or rather, are you still Orochimaru of Konoha?"

Tsunade's words caused a crack to appear in Orochimaru's heart, which had long since turned to ice and only trusted himself.

"...What do you need me to do?" After a long silence, Orochimaru finally spoke.

"Come back," Tsunade said.

come back.

Such simple words.

At this moment, it echoed in my ears like the tolling of a bell at the end of the century.

"Okay." After a long silence, Orochimaru finally managed to utter this word, "I'm back."

Watching the two gazing deeply into each other's eyes, Lin Fan suddenly felt out of place: "..."

Then I go?

......

Orochimaru told Tsunade about the base where he usually conducted his experiments.

I also took the opportunity to find out who Lin Fan was and why he was in the office where even Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't.

"Oh. You became a Jonin in just a few months, and your strength is even comparable to ours?" Orochimaru, having let go of everything, suddenly felt his tense body begin to relax, and his voice became more relaxed.

"Thank goodness." Lin Fan was embarrassed. According to normal legal procedures, shouldn't Tsunade, as the leader and the judge, have given Orochimaru, this guy who disregards human life, a death sentence, or at the very least a suspended death sentence? ...Oh, this is the Naruto world, so it's alright.

After exchanging a few words, Orochimaru learned a lot about Lin Fan and, upon seeing the necklace around Lin Fan's neck, understood everything.

Tsunade has also met her destined one...

And what about his destined person? Why hasn't an immortal person appeared before him to repair the secret technique of possession...?

......

Tsunade only breathed a sigh of relief after Orochimaru left the Hokage Building.

As expected, she's not good at this kind of political stuff, but thankfully the problem was solved.

"Orochimaru probably won't continue working for Danzo anymore, right? But what should I do next? Damn it! That damned old man! He told me to get used to the Hokage position on the first day and then left me here all alone as some lousy Hokage! And that bastard Lin Fan didn't say a word the whole time, relying entirely on his improvisation!!" Tsunade glared resentfully at Lin Fan, who was standing there talking to Lin Xiaobai.

"What should we eat tonight? Let me think."

How dare you! You ask the rabbit what to eat! Why don't you ask me?!

"Tsunade, what would you like to eat?"

Tsunade's face was cold.

"casual."

"???"

Are all women really the same? And why do I feel like she's angry? Maybe it's just my imagination?

"But before that, we must finish what we've done on the table." Tsunade's voice pulled Lin Fan back to reality.

Lin Fan stiffened for a moment, then followed the direction Gang was pointing and saw a huge pile of official documents, as big as a small mountain.

Huh? Didn't I come here to be a secretary?

......
