I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Page 121

Rather than risk a second round of losses, it's better to lose face a little...

The Land of Wind is very poor, and every ninja is hard-earned. Therefore, every Kazekage is very pragmatic—face is nothing compared to the lives of ninjas.

After pondering for a long time, Shamon had already made up his mind, while Hatake Kazami remained calm throughout and showed no sign of panic.

"I surrender……"

With Shinnosuke's surrender, the battle came to an end.

Shamon, with a broad smile, said, "Kazami Jonin, the purpose of the Chunin Exams is to assess the ninjas' abilities, not to actually compete. Now that everyone's abilities have been demonstrated, there's no need for further matches."

The old man couldn't sit still any longer.

Kazami Hatake sneered inwardly, glanced at the nine people below, and nodded, saying, "Of course, the organizer this time is Sunagakure, so you can decide the procedures."

"Alright, let's end the Chunin Exams here."

The monk stood up and made a gesture.

Everyone stopped and looked up.

Shamon took a deep breath, remaining calm and composed. His voice, amplified by chakra, resounded throughout the valley: "After three rounds of testing, everyone's abilities have been fully demonstrated. Therefore, I hereby declare this Chunin Exam over."

"what?"

Suna looked at his teacher with a look of astonishment and disbelief.

"The list of Chunin to be promoted will be announced to the Jonin of each village after discussion. Please wait patiently."

"That's what Shamen said calmly."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

"Let's go."

Chiyo sighed softly, understanding why the monk had made his decision.

"Our village is still too weak."

Ebizo sighed helplessly.

The Kazekage's decision represents the entire Sunagakure village.

Although the process was not announced at the beginning, this result undoubtedly showed weakness to Konoha.

Kazami Hatake would be pleased to see this.

If Sunagakure voluntarily backs down, they will at least gain one more Chunin spot.

Akabane glanced at Suna.

Unexpectedly, the Kazekage of Sunagakure does not intend to fight in the second round, so he will not have an opponent - although speaking of the second round, it may not necessarily be him fighting Sunagakure.

At this moment, Suna no longer cared about Konoha and hurriedly left, seemingly to find the Kazekage.

"Let's go."

Orochimaru remained silent for a moment, then turned and left.

"Looks like I won't be able to help you get revenge today."

Akabane reached out, allowing Tsunade to stand up with his help.

"Thank you."

Tsunade took his hand and struggled to stand up.

Her physical condition recovers quickly, but if the injury is more severe, it will also take a long time to heal.

When they left, they followed the people of Sunagakure through a safe passage to the main road outside.

"I finished my exam today, so I should be able to go back tomorrow, right?"

Jiraiya exclaimed excitedly, "I can't wait to go back and let my teacher witness my growth!"

"Fool, you only defeated a weakling from Sunagakure, what's there to be proud of!"

Tsunade said angrily.

"You do not understand."

Jiraiya gave her a disdainful look.

If his comics can gain the approval of three generations, he can publish a book!

However, he wisely refrained from explaining, after all, how could someone as superficial as Tsunade possibly understand art?

Tsunade was so angry that her hands trembled.

In the past, she would have punched them long ago, but now she and Yuhi Shinku were the only two out of the nine to lose, which was incredibly embarrassing.

Thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but hang my head in dejection.

The Sand Village completely underestimated Jiraiya, thinking he had no ability, so they sent an inferior horse.

Even with inferior horses facing inferior horses, Jiraiya still managed to win.

"Don't be sad. Victory or defeat is just a result. The actual promotion depends on the process."

Zi Xiao comforted her.

"I just feel like it will take a long time to get my revenge."

"If you want to break through his shell, you'll have to go back and practice."

Instead of offering comfort, Akabane coldly poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

Because he knew that Tsunade wasn't the kind of woman who was so delicate as to need comforting.

"Of course!"

Tsunade clenched her fist, secretly pondering how to train back home.

However, upon seeing Akabane, she immediately had an idea, and her mood instantly brightened considerably.

……

Back at his residence, Akabane immediately created a shadow clone.

With my return date fast approaching, there's still some finishing touches to be done on the next volume of Naruto, which I need to complete today.

However, he himself couldn't stay idle either.

Besides updating the Naruto manga, he also had to notify the caravan.

Unlike the ninjas, some of the caravan members are ordinary people, and there's also the comic book donation project that hasn't been completed yet, so they'll probably have to stay here for another day or two.

After finishing all this, Akabane returned from outside.

Not long after she sat down, Yuhi Shinku peeked around and, upon seeing Akabane return, immediately came downstairs.

"Akaba, I need to talk to you about something."

Kurenai Yuhi looked somewhat embarrassed, as if she found it difficult to speak.

While drinking water, Akabane gestured for him to continue.

He took a deep breath and said, "Akaba, I want to draw manga."

"Pfft~"

Akabane spat out the water he had just drunk, but luckily he reacted quickly and turned his head, so the water only sprayed onto the ground.

He coughed violently a few times, apologized awkwardly, and then asked, "What's the meaning of suddenly wanting to draw comics?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt like drawing."

"It was Kurenai Yuhi who said."

"Don't lose even once and lose your confidence as a ninja. A temporary win or loss is nothing. Illusion ninjas are not good at one-on-one combat anyway."

Akabane said.

Illusion has its strengths, but it also has its limitations.

In some ways, it is very powerful, but when the opponent knows how to counter it, illusion becomes less terrifying.

The same applies to illusions involving saddle horses.

"I understand that drawing comics is not an escape, but a genuine love for it."

"It was Kurenai Yuhi who said."

"If that's the case, what story would you like to draw?"

Akabane asked.

"I just don't know what to draw, so I'd like to ask you for guidance."

"Oh, is that so..."

Akabane fell into deep thought. Did this mean he wanted Akabane to provide an outline, which Shinku would then draw on?

However, there are many stories from past lives that I cannot share.

Even positions like colonel and general require inquiries; they couldn't draw many stories from their past lives, and after pondering for a long time, they still couldn't find a suitable subject.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered an old manga – "Ikkyu the Clever".

There's not much of a setting, and the background is similar to the Warring States period in the Naruto world, making it easier to understand.

So he immediately told Yuhi Shinku about the concept.

"This topic is quite interesting. I'll go back and think about it now."

The red-clad woman's eyes lit up.

Of course, Shinku didn't intend to get the subject matter for free. Instead, she thought she could draw it herself and then give all the profits to Akabane as a token of gratitude for his guidance.

"go Go."

Chapter 133 Don't even think about slacking off!

Akabane is not a banyan tree; it doesn't have the ability to form a forest from a single tree.

The more comics there are, the more popular the industry becomes.

At this moment, the shadow clone disappeared, and his memories and fatigue returned, leaving him feeling exhausted and drowsy.

"That's very efficient!"

Return to the room.

The comic's updates have all been completed and compiled into a book. Although the technique is rough, it is easy for the factory staff to understand and print.

"Let someone send it back as soon as possible."

Akabane took the book and went out to find his own caravan.

At that time, Anmashanyuan was working on a comic book donation project.

On the Sunagakure side, a Jonin was in charge of receiving the supplies.

"Akaba, what brings you here...?"

"Don't be nervous. I just came here to ask Uncle Shanyuan to send someone to deliver something for me."

Akabane took out the updated content.

The Sand Village Jonin glanced at it curiously, then his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Is this an update for One Piece?"

"Sadly, no."

Akabane smiled.

It seems that One Piece has already established a foothold in Sunagakure.

"I really hope it can be done soon, my child is driving me crazy with all the nagging."
