In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

—The Four Symbols Seal.

This technique was a sealing technique that Danzo set up specifically for his own death, with the aim of preventing the enemy country from discovering his body's secrets. To some extent, Danzo's claim that it was for Konoha was not untrue.

Upon hearing Danzo's words and seeing the sealing barrier that had already formed around them, Koharu Utatane knew that she only had a few seconds to escape, after which she would be sealed into a space along with Danzo...

With a snap, a rectangular pillar of earth appeared on Lin Fan's body, pressing against his back with force.

Lin Fan glanced at it but didn't say anything. He knew how powerful Danzo was, so at that moment, he took the opportunity to throw out two kunai:

"You think you can escape with a substitution jutsu? Heh. Impossible. I'm holding you, cough cough, you can't escape!" Danzo coughed up black blood, his mouth filled with black blood, and he smiled madly. At this moment, the war had reached its end. Everyone who was still fighting stopped and focused their attention on the street that had formed a black sealing barrier and was spewing out black sealing liquid.

"...Koharu, why did you do this?" Shimura Danzo sighed as he saw Koharu willingly stay to help him seal Lin Fan.

Koharu Utatane gave a bitter laugh: "I have no choice. Danzo. Even if we represent the darkness of Konoha, Lin Fan isn't any better. Let's die together!"

"Koharu... Danzo..." Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing on the execution platform, finally woke up. Seeing the scene of Danzo and Koharu sealing Lin Fan, he was lost in memories, as if seeing a revolving lantern of memories.

"How touching." Hearing their 'righteous words,' Lin Fan could only smile helplessly. At this last moment, they still wanted to clear their names. Or rather, do evil people eventually think of becoming good people? ...But it's a pity. Only the two of you will go to hell and the underworld.

His fist was indeed clenched very tightly, and he used the black blood containing the sealing chakra to limit the extent of Danzo's chakra usage. At the same time, if he forcibly broke free, he would also take Danzo's body with him, and there was simply not enough time to run out of the sealing barrier in a few seconds.

Moreover, Koharu Utatane's Earth Release pillar was pressing against her back, and she couldn't even use her waist to support herself...

but.

"Original Body - Evolution +3": "You have complete control over your body."

"I never expected that Jiraiya would save my life." Lin Fan laughed in exasperation. He had almost been defeated by Shimura Danzo. His physical body was absolutely unable to withstand such a crushing force with spatial attributes.

The instant Lin Fan used the Substitution Technique, his body shifted slightly, and time seemed to stand still around him. Simultaneously, his figure shrank instantly, easily breaking free from the two's restraints, and he slowly walked towards the exit of the barrier...

Let's say goodbye properly then.

Three people.

At the very end, Lin Fan used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to form a shield on his back, and his entire body moved to a more forward position almost instantly.

With a deafening boom, streets and buildings with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters were completely swallowed up by this powerful black sealing technique.

After the deafening roar, all that remained was a patch of teeth marks, like those left by someone gnawing on the land of Konoha, the final imprint on the ground.

"Lin...Fan?" Time passed too quickly. Tsunade thought Lin Fan could dodge, but in the blink of an eye, her last glimpse of Lin Fan was enveloped in black blood energy...and then disappeared.

"Lin Fan!!" Tsunade abandoned her composed demeanor as Hokage, leaping from the high platform. All the ninjas who witnessed Lin Fan's death were stunned...

After all, with Lin Fan's speed, he could have easily dodged it.

At this moment, based on the memories in the scene, someone judged that Lin Fan was bound by the combined forces of Shimura Danzo and Utatane Koharu, which prevented him from moving freely. Coupled with the previous exhaustion, Lin Fan was willing but unable to move... In the end, he turned into air along with his body.

"Lin Fan! Lin Fan!! Don't die!!! You bastard!!! You promised me..." Tsunade was digging at the ground.

Many Konoha ninjas, seemingly because of the death of a "high-ranking" figure, set aside their differences and stood behind Tsunade, watching this woman digging in the earth while shedding tears.

"Lin Fan, is he dead?" On Jiraiya's side, the ground was littered with Uchiha ninjas. He leaned against the middle of three wounded toads. When Uchiha En'gao and the others heard about Lin Fan's death, they didn't seem too happy. Or rather, they actually understood Lin Fan's thoughts.

On Orochimaru's side, the Hyuga main family wasn't so open-minded. The rigid thinking of the main family members meant they couldn't understand the idea of ​​"no destruction, no construction." However, now that everyone in the main family was unconscious, the only conscious member left was Hyuga Hiashi.

"So... Lord Lin Fan was already prepared to die..."

"He won't die," Orochimaru said to Hiashi Hyuga, exhausted and leaning against the wall.

Hiashi Hyuga glanced at Orochimaru but didn't reply. After all, the radio was filled with the other staff members frantically shouting, "How could Lord Lin Fan...!" and "Damn it! Do these old bastards not even spare Lord Lin Fan's life after death?!"

These words are enough to prove that Lin Fan is dead, killed by Shimura Danzo and the two former elders.

Lin Xiaobai seemed to be deep in thought or suppressing something. Those around him, seeing Lin Xiaobai's expression, were at a loss for how to comfort Lin Fan's 'pet'...

"Why are you all crying?" Lin Xiaobai suddenly smiled. "Shouldn't we be happy that Konoha headquarters won this war?!"

Lin Xiaobai's voice rang out on televisions, radios, and broadcasts everywhere, reaching everyone: the ninjas from other villages who breathed a sigh of relief at Lin Fan's death, and Zetsu; his classmates who were saddened and at a loss for what to do after Lin Fan's death; many other figures who had high hopes for Lin Fan; and the daimyo of the Land of Fire who was still opening champagne to celebrate.

Everyone who heard Lin Xiaobai's voice froze for a moment.

—What does she mean?! What does she mean by this?!

Immediately, Lin Xiaobai directed the staff to point the live stream at a spot further away on the street, under the shade of a tree.

Lin Fan, whose hair had grown back through sheer physical exertion, whose clothes were tattered and blackened, and whose entire body was covered in blood, stood there unharmed, enjoying the cool shade provided by the trees.

"Lin Fan! You're alive! You're really alive!" Lin Fan stretched out his arms as he saw Tsunade running towards him.

As Tsunade crashed into Lin Fan's arms, Lin Fan felt that the force of the blow was heavier than that of many Jonin who had hit him... Damn it, you're using superhuman strength too.

However, after the initial hardness comes a soft, supple experience.

Lin Fan looked into Tsunade's eyes and gently grasped her face.

The scene under the shade of the trees is incredibly beautiful, like a warrior about to transform into a dragon, only to be moved by the princess's kiss at the last moment and become a hero once more...

Jiraiya watched this scene with a touch of sadness. Orochimaru suddenly patted him on the shoulder. Jiraiya smiled helplessly when he saw it was Orochimaru. Meanwhile, in the crowd, Jiraiya knew that he had lost to Uchiha Mikoto from the very beginning. Although he was a little sad when he thought Lin Fan was dead, this sadness was only because he thought he could not get revenge, and he had no other thoughts.

But seeing Lin Fan alive, Mikoto Uchiha suddenly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. She relayed the news to Jiraiya's side of the battlefield, where she saw Minato Namikaze and the others fighting, including members of the Uchiha clan and the three giant toads. She offered to help them carry the bodies, on the condition that they not be ambushed. This scene amused many ninjas and eased some of the sadness of the dead and wounded on the battlefield.

"Is that so? The Uchiha clan has lost?" Uchiha En's ambition vanished upon hearing Mikoto's words that Lin Fan was still alive, and that Danzo, the two elders, and the acting head of the Sarutobi clan had all been completely wiped out by Danzo's secret technique of self-destruction and sealing.

"Mikoto, try to get on Lin Fan's good side. The future of the Uchiha clan in the village... it all depends on you."

Uchiha En'gaku knew that after this incident, Lin Fan would begin to suppress the Security Department, bringing its power under the Hokage's control and completely integrating the Uchiha clan into the village...

But he was extremely unwilling to let such a thing happen to him.

But reality told him that Lin Fan's strength might already be comparable to his ancestor, Uchiha Madara.
