I'm drawing manga in Naruto

The ninjas kept thanking him, which made Akabane feel embarrassed.

He scratched his head and said apologetically, "I forgot to tell Brother Yunlang, which caused this misunderstanding. So... you can borrow it for free today, but you have to return it within one day."

"Kiba-kun, thank you so much, but we know each other, so one set is fine!"

They kept bowing and thanking him, then took the comic book that Kurama Yunlang handed them.

The four or five people left quickly.

Akabane sighed. For these commoner ninjas, even a hundred ryo was incredibly precious, and they might not even know the person they were borrowing from, so one ryo a day was within their means.

"Young Master, could you please let me know next time you have a new plan?"

Kurama Yunlang said weakly.

"I'm so sorry, it was an accident..."

Chapter 143 Akabane, let's study snakes together!

"Kurama Akabane, humph, another shadow clone. We've been working together for so long, can't we have a little more trust?"

Uchiha Genkai emerged from the woods.

There was no dissatisfaction, but it wouldn't be fair to say I was particularly happy either.

"You misunderstand. I'm not being wary of you. It's just that if my real body comes here, I'll have to go back, which would waste a lot of unnecessary time."

The shadow clone arrived from the other side.

This grove of trees is where they first met, and now it's perfect for their second meeting.

Upon hearing this answer, Uchiha Genkai couldn't help but sigh softly.

This guy is incredibly lazy.

However, he didn't say anything. He walked to a suitable spot, stopped, activated his Sharingan, looked around, and only said after confirming that no one was following him, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"..."

Akabane remained silent; he hated this kind of question the most.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Uchiha Genkai had no choice but to continue himself: "Your manga never mentions the Uchiha clan, so I think the Uchiha clan has been wiped out."

"If things continue to develop this way, it's highly likely."

Akabane did not deny it.

The Third Hokage and Danzo were never benevolent figures.

The Uchiha clan was further marginalized in later generations, and that wasn't just Danzo's idea.

Of course, without the Nine-Tails incident, the Third Hokage wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Yes, Danzo."

Uchiha Genkai said, "Kurama Akabane, are you interested in the Hokage?"

"Ha, are you kidding me?"

Akabane didn't answer directly, but his meaning was self-evident.

"If you were the Hokage, perhaps the Uchiha clan could have fully integrated into Konoha."

Uchiha Genkaido.

"No, I'm not interested in the Hokage position."

Akabane shook his head.

Being the Hokage is exhausting, not to mention that even drawing a manga can be over-interpreted.

Those days were so boring.

"It's such a pity, otherwise you would have been a very suitable candidate."

Uchiha Genkai felt a little regretful.

Although Akabane is not a third-generation disciple, anyone with discerning eyes can see that he is not much different from a third-generation disciple.

Secondly, he gets along well with other people.

Sakumo, Shishou, Orochimaru, Tsunade...

This group of people went through the Chunin Exams and gradually honed their own unique skills.

They are strong competitors, and also part of Akabane's core group.

Not only that, there's also Danzo's side. It can be said that Akabane has the best resources among the new generation.

As for Danzo himself—

It's not that Uchiha Genkai looks down on people, but as long as the Third Hokage is alive, that guy will never become Hokage.

Those who belong to darkness can never truly become the sun.

"If this is all you wanted to say to me, then I can only apologize."

"I mainly wanted to say that you can draw it however you want, there won't be any problems with the Uchiha."

After finishing his sentence, Uchiha Genkai turned and left.

Akabane pondered for a moment, then dispelled the shadow clone.

"Uchiha Ryo's awakening might be related to me, and there may be others involved as well."

Akabane received the information and understood.

The fact that the entire Uchiha clan can adopt an indifferent attitude must indicate a greater benefit.

Even if comics have some implications or guidance, they are essentially fictional, and these unimportant things can be ignored in the face of tangible benefits.

Compared to the crisis of outsiders obtaining the Sharingan or the Uchiha clan being targeted, the extermination of a clan is obviously more exciting.

Moreover, this can also incite a group of "violent fighters" within the tribe.

"Uchiha Genkai, can you really do this?"

Akabane thought to himself.

In the original Naruto series, aside from the wars of Izanagi and Izanami, the Uchiha clan rarely engaged in internal strife.

When Fugaku Uchiha came to power, he never thought of purging the clan, but instead compromised step by step.

Is it really possible to purge from within?

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me.

Akabane lay on the bed, feeling carefree and relaxed.

What happens within the Uchiha clan is none of his business, and as for the Hokage, no matter how much others try to push him, he has absolutely no interest.

Besides, I'm only twelve years old. If I want to become Hokage, it will probably take me more than ten years.

However, considering the threat posed by Mito Uzumaki...

After lying down for a while, Akabane got up, took out his drawing board, and began to draw.

Naruto has to continue, otherwise if he really gets locked up in a dark room, he's doomed.

Given Mito Uzumaki's reputation, Chiaki Kurama would only be happy that his son would have the opportunity to receive guidance, not worried or afraid.

"The next scene is the first Chunin Exam, hmm... it's pretty easy to draw."

Akabane recalled the plot in his mind, then quickly picked up his pen and began to draw.

It doesn't take long to draw a picture, let alone when the plot and storyboard are already in your mind.

Not long after, the episode was finished.

However, while he was engrossed in his painting, a snake's head suddenly peeked out from the window.

It looked at the window, then squeezed in through the crack.

"Orochimaru? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Akabane grabbed it.

"King Akabane, I have mastered the two techniques you mentioned."

"It is the snake clone," the snake said.

"So fast!"

Akabane was stunned for a moment. Hidden Shadow Snake Hand and Hidden Shadow Multi-Snake Hand were not difficult, but he had already mastered them in just one night?

"It takes a lot of effort to apply it in real combat, and I've only just mastered it now."

The snake clone said calmly.

It was said lightly, but...

Akabane sighed softly. It seemed there was a reason why this guy was called a once-in-a-century genius.

"Okay, I'll think about it some more."

He pondered for a moment and quickly drew four pictures.

Orochimaru-style Substitution Technique.

The fierce snake takes a step.

Evil Serpent Wrist Explosion.

The Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes.

The last one doesn't require much technical skill; it's simply a matter of sheer quantity, so it's just an extra.

Of the three ninjutsu, the Substitution Jutsu is the most difficult.

Other ninjutsu are simply a combination of taijutsu and summoning techniques, forming a mid-to-long-range combat style.

Orochimaru's Substitution Technique is similar to a snake shedding its skin, discarding the outer layer and regenerating a new "me" from within.

It doesn't require hand seals, but it does consume a lot of chakra.

The snake clone climbed onto Akabane's shoulder and looked down, memorizing the images of the four paintings.

"This substitution technique... is incredible."

Orochimaru was very surprised.

He obtained a snake's molt and wanted to study methods of luck and regeneration from it, but he never thought of using the snake's molt itself to create a ninjutsu.

"This is just a preliminary concept; you'll need to develop the specific principles of ninjutsu yourself."

Akabane said.

"That's more than enough!"

The snake's body flicked its tongue, appearing extremely excited.

The worst thing about research is not its difficulty, but the lack of a research direction.

It flicked its tongue and said, "Akabane-kun, would you like to study snake-type ninjutsu with me?"

"I don't have a psychic contract."

Akabane gave a casual reply while continuing to draw his manga.

"I have it here."

"No, snakes don't suit my temperament."

Akabane immediately refused.

"that's too regretful."

He has all sorts of ninjutsu ideas, but he just doesn't like snake-type summoning beasts.

The snake's clone flicked its tongue and then returned the way it came.

I have to admit, for a moment, Akabane was indeed moved.

Orochimaru's summoning beast is Manda, and Manda comes from Ryuchi Cave.

As one of the three holy sites, the strength of Ryuchi Cave is beyond doubt. Once you pass the test of Ryuchi Cave, you can even cultivate the Immortal Mode.
