In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

"Teacher, are you really unwilling to tell me anything?"

"I don't object to Tsunade becoming the Fourth Hokage, and it's normal for Danzo to be arrested, but I don't understand why Tsunade had you arrested!"

"Teacher, have you really done something unforgivable?"

He listened to his disciple's question.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was torn.

"Jiraiya, don't ask anymore, I'm doing just fine here."

"If you really care, please help me release Shinnosuke."

"You're still thinking about Shinnosuke..."

Jiraiya said disappointedly, "How can the Hokage be so concerned with trivial matters?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "No. He's just too noisy. Listen."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed outside.

—Shinnosuke Sarutobi: "Let me out! Whoever it is! Let me out!!"

Jiraiya: "..."

The materials used in this prison are so poorly soundproofed... Wait, is this the time to be thinking about that?

hum.

An invisible wave, perceptible only to the summoner, entered Jiraiya's cerebral cortex.

"The intelligence frog I sent out has broken the psychic connection."

Jiraiya's expression was serious.

"It seems Tsunade's reinforcements have arrived."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled, "Let's go, Jiraiya. Go out and apologize now, or Tsunade won't treat you the way she treats me."

"Teacher, come out with me."

"I really don't want to see the scene of master and disciple killing each other."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

"Too late, Jiraiya."

"Teacher, what I have done has already disgraced the name of Hokage."

"Tsunade can never forgive me."

Even if Lin Fan hadn't appeared, Tsunade would have hated herself when she found out later.

"teacher!"

Jiraiya shouted.

Da, da, da.

Clear footsteps could be heard outside.

Jiraiya stood in the Dark Side Plaza.

Two familiar young men entered.

Jiraiya wore a relieved smile.

"You're here?"

"Isn't this Jiraiya? Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have gone with Tsunade to greet you," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Jiraiya ignored Lin Fan and looked at Orochimaru, who was standing silently to the side.

"Orochimaru, I never thought you'd come to this."

"Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. Jiraiya, you've never understood me, and this time is no different."

Orochimaru responded.

Jiraiya smiled helplessly.

"I don't understand your grand principles, all I know is that the Third Hokage is our teacher, and I absolutely cannot stand by and watch you and Tsunade persecute him like that!"

"Spiritual communication!"

With a bang, Gamabunta appeared in the square.

"Tch, they beat me to it." Lin Fan's lips twitched as he finished forming the hand seal.

Orochimaru said, "Even if you summon Gamabunta, do you think he'll help you or Jiraiya?"

Lin Fan fell silent for a moment, recalling his past with Toad Wen: "..."

"Jiraiya? Weren't you on an S-rank mission? Why did you suddenly call me out? Huh. What kind of place is this? It's so small." Gamabunta felt like he couldn't breathe in this cramped space. This place is so low! Where did I end up here?

"That mission is over," Jiraiya said. "I don't have time to explain to you right now, but please, Boss Toad, help me buy some time and stop them."

Please.

Jiraiya vanished from the Anbu Plaza with a bang.

Gamabunta: "?"

—What do you mean by stalling for time? Are there enemies here?

"Um, what happened here?"

Gamabunta's lips twitched as he looked at Orochimaru and Lin Fan in front of him.

He still harbors some lingering fear of Lin Fan.

"It's nothing, Jiraiya was just joking with us," Lin Fan said with a smile, taking a few steps forward. "Just let us through."

Gamabunta's toad eyes narrowed.

"Yeah?"

"Yes," Lin Fan replied.

Lin Fan was about to pass by him.

Gamabunta exhaled a breath of stale air, and the enormous short sword, perfectly proportioned to the giant toad, was suddenly drawn from its sheath!

"Lin Fan, you think I, Boss Toad, am a fool?!"

Click!

The floor was slashed open by a short knife.

"Lin Fan, get out of the way!" Orochimaru shouted.

"Heh." Lin Fan chuckled. "Should I avoid his sharp edge?"

Losing in the past life doesn't mean he'll lose again now!

We will win!

Lin Fan raised his hands and crossed them. The huge short sword suddenly attacked. With a loud bang, countless pieces of rock flew out, the ground shook, and the Dark Division Plaza trembled a few times. The Dark Division ninja who had 'fainted' deep inside the base suddenly jumped up.

"Holy crap? An earthquake? Wake up! Quickly dig the injured out and get them to safety!"

A rustling sound rang out all around.

The iron doors of each cell banged loudly.

"Let me out! An earthquake, you bastard, let me out!"

"Let me out! I am Shimura Danzo! Let me out! I will reward you handsomely!"

"..."

In the Dark Side Plaza, Gamabunta's short sword could no longer advance even half a step.

"Such heavy force. Lin Fan, I thought you used some kind of blood-stained power to throw me out last time, but now it seems you're just born with superhuman strength."

Lin Fan stood there, leaving two long marks on the soles of his feet, holding Gamabunta's short sword in one hand.

"That's right, that's right."

Lin Fan responded to Gamabunta without any politeness.

"Hey Wentai, isn't this a bit petty of you? I'm your contractor, after all. Lin Fan is very unhappy with how you treat me."

Gamabunta: "...You brat! You're asking for it!"

Hama Wentai gritted his teeth.

He conceded defeat before because he didn't want to waste time with you, out of respect for Jiraiya. But now that Jiraiya has clearly turned against you and dares to call himself "brother," then I, the boss, won't hold back either!

Lin Fan made a hand gesture to Orochimaru.

The latter nodded and crawled into the floor.

Sensing Orochimaru's departure, Lin Fan said to Gamabunta, "In that case, let's fight!"

Lin Fan whooshed away from the position of the short sword, stepping on his right foot with his left, and flew into the air.

"Movement Speed ​​Evolution +6": "Your current running speed far surpasses that of top martial arts masters, allowing you to scale walls and even briefly fly by stepping on the air."

"Bunta, have you ever seen a move that comes down from the sky?"

Although the highest point in the Dark Side Plaza is only about twenty meters.

Gamabunta is 17 meters tall.

But at this moment, Gamabunta had no choice but to look up at Lin Fan, whose palm was glowing.

"What is that?" Gamabunta squinted at the Rasengan in Lin Fan's palm, which was gradually growing larger.

Although the Rasengan didn't trigger the 'passive' ability, Lin Fan only needed to continuously input chakra into the Rasengan core to make the Rasengan's power keep increasing.

Until the Rasengan became several times larger than him.

"Oh no, this move is no joke."

Gamabunta drew his short sword, gripped it with his two frog paws, and prepared to use the power of Sage Mode to increase his strength, so that he could use this sturdy short sword to block Lin Fan's Great Rasengan.

Seeing this, Lin Fan smiled and said, "Wen Tai-san, you probably haven't killed a goblin before."

"Goblin?" Gamabunta was puzzled. What was a goblin?

He didn't have time to think, and with a forceful slash of the short knife—snap!

"What?!" Gamabunta then realized that his short sword was stuck in the top of the cave. The cave ceiling in the Dark Side Plaza was reinforced, and given Gamabunta's height and the size of his short sword, it was clearly over twenty-four or twenty-five meters long. The short sword was stuck in the cave ceiling.

"Super large jade rasengan!"

Lin Fan roared.

Lin Fan, catching the Rasengan as it fell, hit Gamabunta on the head with it, and Gamabunta's eyes cleared up.

Rumble!!
