: I love Lin Fan the most!

Hokage Building.

Lin Fan and Tsunade arrived at the Hokage's office and explained their request.

"No, I disagree." Hiruzen Sarutobi refused outright. "Putting aside Tsunade's situation, Lin Fan, you alone have no chance of infiltrating the capital of the Land of Wind to complete the assassination mission. If the mission fails, or you are even discovered, you will become the target of hatred for the entire Land of Wind."

Tsunade took a deep breath. She had originally planned to hide something, but now she didn't want to anymore.

"Old man, my illness is cured."

"Huh? It's done? Is this for real?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up abruptly and looked at Tsunade with delight.

"Good! Very good! I knew you could recover."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was genuinely happy for Tsunade.

However, Tsunade did not tell Hiruzen Sarutobi that she resolved her inner conflict after meeting Nawaki and then gradually overcame it by finding blood on her own.

That day, I went to the ninja academy to watch the battle and do support work, just to see if my hemophobia had gotten better.

"It's only partially better, but I still can't handle large amounts of blood."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's surprise diminished somewhat.

"Alright, you need to rest too."

"But rest is one thing, but that's no excuse for you to act recklessly."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "This matter is too serious. The daimyo clearly wants to hold White Fang accountable. I've already sent Koharu to negotiate with the daimyo to see if we can reduce the compensation, but if we touch a raw nerve at this time... sigh!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. He understood White Fang's defeat, but sometimes understanding wasn't enough; that was the rule of the ninja world.

"...How big is it?"

"The estimated loss is at least several billion."

"So many?" Tsunade exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Fan: "?"

Billions? That's tens of billions in Japanese yen, or about a hundred small goals in yuan? Holy crap! White Fang deserved to die!

"Yes, even if White Fang sells his clan's land and empties his savings, it won't be enough to cover a fraction of the losses this time," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a worried expression.

"I just hope that Xiaochun can succeed in the negotiations, but Baiya may end up with a huge debt. Of course, it's not that the village is unwilling to pay; the village will pay what it can, and if it can't, then there's nothing we can do."

Seeing Tsunade's gaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi offered an explanation.

Tsunade remained silent.

She owes billions, but her debts are only a few million. Selling a mansion would only bring back a hundred million or tens of millions. If she owed billions, she wouldn't be able to pay it back even if she sold all the remaining land of the Thousand Hands Clan.

"Why should I pay it back?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled. "If I don't pay back money I owed based on my own abilities, what can he do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

Tsunade: "..."

"You make it sound so easy," Hiruzen Sarutobi said. "Do you even know who provides all the money for our village?"

"Daimyo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. He no longer wanted to explain to Lin Fan, a guy who didn't understand politics: "In short, I don't agree with this mission, and you can't complete it either. Going there will only be suicide."

Tsunade didn't speak; she looked at Lin Fan, lacking confidence in completing the task.

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "What if I finish?"

"?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious. "If you succeed, I'll give you the Hokage position!"

Tsunade was surprised, "Really, old man?"

This was the first time she had ever seen her teacher back down.

"Of course! If you finish, I'll immediately give you the Hokage position!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said angrily, "But what if you don't finish?"

"If I fail, do whatever you want," Lin Fan said. "But we can't arrive only to find the mission target already dead. Failure can't be blamed on us."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.

If the objective is dead, does that mean you still need to complete the mission?

"If you fail, you can join the Anbu after you graduate and become a Chunin, okay?"

Huh? I'm already this strong, and you still want me to be a Genin?

Lin Fan's lips twitched.

"Okay, I have no objection."

Joining the Dark Division is impossible. There's no way I'd ever join the Dark Division in my lifetime. Everyone knows the Dark Division is full of hard-working individuals who work overtime.

Lin Fan overheard the conversation between the ANBU member monitoring him and the ANBU member stationed at the Hokage Building.

"Ugh! Standing guard all day is exhausting, Xuehua, how are you?"

The female ANBU member named Snowflake was the ANBU ninja who was monitoring Lin Fan.

"It's alright. Lin Fan doesn't wander off. I just need to find a fixed spot to observe him every day."

"Damn! I'm so envious. Shall we switch?"

"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid?"

Each surveillance operation was conducted by a single person. After hearing the above information, Lin Fan understood just how arduous the work of the secret service was.

......

The two successfully received the mission.

After walking a short distance from the Hokage Building, Tsunade asked Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan, do you really want to become Hokage?"

"Yes, I dream of becoming Hokage."

Lin Fan nodded. Being Hokage would make him an emperor, and he could say to Danzo every day, "Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

He could even say to Hiruzen, "Hiruzen, I am the Hokage!"

Isn't this delicious?

Moreover, the village's plans were all approved by the Hokage, which incidentally broke Naruto's record of becoming Hokage after being a Genin.

He, Lin Fan, became Hokage right after graduating from the Ninja Academy!

"However, after we get out of this mission, we can't admit that we're Konoha ninjas," Tsunade said. "Also, my appearance is too conspicuous, so I need to think of a solution. I'm wondering if I should get a nicer mask."

The legendary Sannin of Konoha are still considered quite prestigious in the ninja world.

"Dye your hair." Lin Fan suggested an idea that many of the natives had never considered: "If you dye your hair and change your hairstyle, who would recognize you?"

"?" Tsunade pondered for a moment.

Hmm? That seems right? But why do I always think of such conspicuous ideas as wearing a mask and a black robe?

"Lin Fan, you're really smart."

It's not that I'm too smart, it's that you bunch of natives are too stupid.

Lin Fan yawned and accompanied Tsunade to the village's barbershop to get her hair dyed.

He is not actually ignorant of politics.

He just didn't understand why ninjas had to obey the daimyo.

Is it just because the daimyo is rich? Does having money mean you can do whatever you want? What's the point of a ninja training their whole life then?

Suddenly, Lin Fan thought of something.

"Tsunade, I'm going out for a bit. You can go home and pack your things while I'm gone."

After saying that, Lin Fan ran out.

"Hey!" Tsunade turned around, but Lin Fan was nowhere to be seen. "That damn guy!"

The hairdresser, Tony, who was cutting Tsunade's hair, smiled and asked, "Lady Tsunade, is that your boyfriend?"

Tsunade blushed slightly.

"No, that's not true. We're just friends."

The female hairstylist chuckled but didn't expose her.

......

Lin Fan ran back to his home.

This mission will take at least several days.

He forgot one thing: his own evolved level 3 "estrogen regulating capsule".

"This medicine doesn't have an expiration date, so how can it stay in the box for so long?" Lin Fan stared at the capsule in the box that had changed from a red and white capsule to a small red pearl-like capsule and pondered.

"No, we need to find someone to eat this; we can't let it go to waste."

As Lin Fan walked out the door, Lin Xiaobai ran over quickly.

"Lin Fan, where have you been? You haven't even poured out my lunch yet!"

Lin Fan's lips twitched.

He crouched down and patted the little bunny's head:

"Lin Xiaobai, you're a mature rabbit now, it's time to learn to find your own food."

Lin Xiaobai shook his head.

"No, you'll find it delicious."

Tsk, how do you deal with a rabbit that's too clingy?

......

Lin Fan poured lunch for Lin Xiaobai.

Then he thought about how Lin Xiaobai was home alone while he was away, and he worried that someone might kidnap Lin Xiaobai and use her to control Lin Fan.

After nurturing her for so long, Lin Fan still has some feelings for Lin Xiaobai.

Evolution Point: 30

"Fine, that's enough for one evolution. I'll give it all to Little White."

Lost in thought, Lin Fan patted Lin Xiaobai's head.

Lin Xiaobai was munching on hay, muttering, "Five ants! Five ants!!"

"Rabbit Evolution +3" → "Rabbit Evolution +4": "Greatly enhances intelligence and physical quality. The summoner's soul can possess the body for up to 3-10 minutes. The original consciousness is preserved during possession, and the summoner can obtain one-tenth of the power at the peak of their soul. The summoner can choose whether to take over the body."

Seeing that the evolution points had been reset to zero, allowing the ghost to possess him and advance, Lin Fan's lips curled into a wild smile.

Excellent. With the power inherited from possessing multiple bodies and the ability to choose which body to take over, Lin Xiaobai is getting stronger and stronger.

"Huh!" In that instant of power-up, Lin Xiaobai felt many things he hadn't understood before suddenly become clear, and even chewing hay felt more powerful: "How strange, Lin Fan, I feel like I've gotten stronger again, is it you?!"

"So, do you like it?"

"I love it! I love it so much! I love Lin Fan the most!" Lin Xiaobai jumped into Lin Fan's arms and rubbed her head against him vigorously.
