I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Fast, ruthless, and accurate!

He gained a new understanding of these three words.

"Yes!"

Shuo Mao understood.

His final, seemingly unpredictable attacks, which appeared to suppress Orochimaru's assault, actually put excessive strain on his own hands.

In a real battle, he couldn't do that.

"As expected of the head of the Hatake clan, his understanding of swordsmanship is profound!"

After listening to "Moonlight Night Dance," I felt I gained a great deal of insight.

"Over the next day, I will teach you how to fight correctly, based on your performance today, especially... against the Sand Ninja."

Kazami Hatake scanned the room and found that most of the instructors had a plan in mind.

He was alone, and he really didn't have any good solutions.

After watching the battle, he didn't think Jiraiya was really lacking in talent. On the contrary, he was very impressed with the wisdom and decisiveness that Jiraiya showed in the battle.

But his style was too unconventional, and Kazami Hatake couldn't think of a suitable approach for him in the short term.

Jiraiya was clever enough to speak up, saying, "As for me, I can go back to Mount Myōboku..."

"No need, I've thought of some training methods that would suit you. You'll train with me from today to tomorrow."

Akabane calmed himself down and then took the initiative to accept the mission.

"what?"

Tsunade's eyes widened, clearly disbelieving that such a lazy person would actually take the initiative to stop her from doing the work.

"This...will it interfere with your training?"

Jiraiya was a little embarrassed.

Although Mount Myōboku is a good place, the toads' ninjutsu is actually quite limited. He has already mastered all the ones he can, and it's impossible for him to master the ones he doesn't know in a day.

"will not."

Akabane shook his head—he had no intention of training.

"Alright, everyone train."

After finishing speaking, Kazami Hatake got up and walked out.

Except for Jiraiya, everyone else followed him to find a training ground.

"We can train indoors."

Akabane lay down, talking and scribbling randomly. A little while later, he threw the paper to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya took it and examined it carefully.

The paper depicts a densely packed sphere covered in various bristles; upon closer inspection, it appears to be a person in the center.

"what is this?"

"Needle Ksitigarbha, do you know what a hedgehog is?"

Akabane replied.

"Arrested."

Jiraiya nodded, then seemed to be deep in thought.

In this picture, isn't the ninja being protected just a hedgehog?

"You have a good amount of hair; this kind of hair-related ninjutsu is more suitable for you."

Akabane said, half-jokingly.

If someone with hair loss were to practice this technique, they would probably go bald after a while. But I have a lot of hair, and it grows fast, so I don't have this problem at all.

"That's really a very good technique. Are there any more?"

Jiraiya asked excitedly.

"Practice this first. You only have a little over a day, so master it quickly."

Needle Jizo is a defensive ninjutsu that will be very useful in the upcoming Chunin Exams. If Jiraiya can master it, he will have an extra advantage in the Chunin Exams.

"Can I master this technique right away?!"

Jiraiya was thrilled and immediately took the blueprints to study them.

Akabane lay down, feeling perfectly at ease preparing to sleep.

Jiraiya then began practicing the Needle Jizo technique, which was his later creation, so it suited his taste perfectly. Upon hearing it, his mind began to wander, and he came up with all sorts of new ideas.

He had a complete set of ideas on how to use the Needle Jizo technique, and with the knowledge he learned from Mount Myōboku, creating this ninjutsu was not difficult.

This was the situation Jiraiya imagined, but in reality—

The hair is either too stiff to be contained, or too soft to be effective.

So much so that after studying it for a long time, his hair grew quite a bit due to the chakra, but his ninjutsu was still in a semi-finished state.

Akabane slept soundly all afternoon.

After all, he couldn't offer much help in developing ninjutsu; Jiraiya had to come up with most of the initial ideas himself.

He didn't get busy until the next day.

Jiraiya's needle Jizo technique is already quite mature, requiring only some minor adjustments.

This is where Akabane comes in.

If Jiraiya were to put in the effort himself, these minor adjustments alone would likely require a considerable amount of time to work out.

For example, Chidori is an incomplete ninjutsu without the Sharingan, but with slight adjustments, it can be transformed into Chidori Blade or Chidori Stream, making it a complete ninjutsu.

The details of ninjutsu often require special ideas and a higher level of insight and knowledge, in which Akabane far surpasses Jiraiya.

The needle statue was completed the next afternoon!

Meanwhile, the Chunin Exams are just around the corner.

Chapter 124 Everyone Here is Trash

"Fight hard in the Chunin Exams, don't hide."

As they approached the side, Kazami Hatake continued to chatter on.

Based on his understanding of Akabane, he knew that once the guy entered the exam hall, he would definitely slack off until the end and then just muddle through.

"Alright, Uncle Kazami, I got it. Anyway, it's just the Chunin Exams, I'll take it seriously, okay?"

Akabane had a terrible headache and kept trying to get rid of people.

As Kazami's son and Akabane's teammate, Sakumo sincerely admires Akabane.

The only person in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who can get their father to nag like this!

"Not urgent."

Kazami Hatake glanced at him indifferently and strode towards the location of the first exam.

For some reason, Akabane suddenly had a bad feeling.

Outside the examination hall, many ninjas from various villages had gathered, waiting for the first theory exam to officially begin.

Kazami Hatake looked around, then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing this, Akabane's unease grew stronger.

The next second, Kazami Hatake said calmly, "Akaba, these opponents are too easy for you. You can just take the test anytime."

Instantly, the scene fell silent.

After saying this, Kazami Hatake turned his back to everyone.

"really!"

Akabane covered his face.

The effect of this statement is comparable to "Everyone here is trash".

As for?

All the ninjas present looked over, including the two Chunin guarding the gate from Sunagakure.

The poor genin was tricked by his own jonin.

Although I understand, I don't know if everyone is still very unhappy inside.

Everyone glanced at him, seemingly memorizing Akabane's appearance, but no one dared to openly cause trouble.

but.

Some people were surprised to discover: "Hey, Akabane... isn't he the author of 'One Piece'?"

"One Piece, that exaggerated and stupid manga?"

A ninja from the famous Hot Spring Village sneered and mocked, "What Devil Fruits and One Piece? The author must be an idiot."

The Land of Hot Springs is located on the sea, so they are very familiar with the ocean.

One Piece?

Pirates are basically just wandering samurai and wandering ninjas. Who would give up being a proper ninja to become the leader of a wandering ninja?

Tsunade clenched her fist, intending to go up and "argue" with him.

Akabane grabbed her, then glanced at the genin of Tang Shinobi and said calmly, "Your narrow-minded mind simply can't understand the meaning of the word 'story'."

"you!"

"Enough, Yamada!"

Next to him, another of Tang Ren's companions reached out and grabbed him.

"What's enough? The people of Konoha are provoking us like this..."

"That's enough. One Piece is just a story. Why are you being so provocative?"

Yamada's companion said with dissatisfaction.

"You! That's why you're so weak! Hmph~"

Yamada turned and left with a grim expression.

After he left, two teammates from the Hidden Spring Village came over to apologize: "We're sorry, he's not usually like this. We apologize to you."

"Really? It's nothing."

Akabane smiled, seemingly not caring much.

This whole scene, however, exposed the discord within the team.

At first, Akabane was a little confused, but after thinking about it for a moment, he understood.

Unlike other small ninja villages, Tangren Village has always loved peace and was unwilling to participate in conflicts. Therefore, their village is also known as the "village that forgets war".

However, they also produced some outliers, such as Hidan, who came from Yugakure.

This guy named Yamada looks a lot like Hidan.

If it weren't for a holiday, Akabane wouldn't bother with the affairs of Yugakure.

However, since Yamada vented his anger on him, he should be taught a good lesson when they meet in the exam hall.

It turns out that many people were indeed annoyed with Akabane and wanted to teach him a lesson, but Yamada's antics drew everyone's attention to One Piece instead.

In the entertainment-scarce world of Naruto, even One Piece, whose plot hasn't unfolded yet, is still a rare gem for many.

After Akabane and Yamada finished arguing, quite a few ninjas from villages that were on good terms with Konoha gathered around.

For example, Kusagakure.

The first thing they asked when they arrived was, "When are you going to bring the comics to their market?" Some of the ninjas from the clan even wanted to do business with Akabane on the comics.

In short, it's incredibly popular.
