I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Akabane was a little flustered. If things continued to develop this way, he might have to take over the throne of "Kage of the Pot".

"Your technique is more suited to the training of the root. As long as you don't slack off, the root will definitely develop better."

Danzo calmly said, "In addition, the war in the Land of Whirlpools is being led by the Anbu, and most of the Anbu will be transferred to other positions. You need to take good care of the village's security."

"This seems like a lot of trouble..."

Akabane couldn't help but complain in exasperation, but when he met Danzo's gaze, he swallowed the rest of his words.

It looks like there's no room for negotiation!

"You know about the Root base. As for the manpower issue, I will inform all the tribes and have them send people over soon."

"Am I supervising a bunch of freshmen?"

Akabane immediately understood, and felt even more uncomfortable.

Who are the most difficult people to manage?

newborn!

They all have no self-awareness and think they're incredibly capable.

Not only are they causing trouble, but they're also incredibly annoying. Managing these people would probably require creating multiple clones of yourself.

But in the comics...

"So complicated."

Akabane sighed softly. If he had to choose between the two jobs, he would rather draw comics.

Let the clone manage the roots from now on.

"If there are no problems, you can leave now."

Danzo said calmly.

"Yes, teacher, please take care of yourself."

Akabane wouldn't have any more questions. Asking one more question would only make things worse. He'd better just make a quick getaway.

He was somewhat dazed after leaving the Dark Division.

This development was somewhat unexpected and not quite what he had imagined.

On the way back to the comic book store, Akabane was absent-minded.

He was thinking about the root problem.

Danzo's character hasn't deteriorated to the point of being untrustworthy yet. Since we've entrusted the root to him, we should indeed give it to him.

Furthermore, judging from Danzo's words, it's highly likely that the elders of Root will be going to the front lines, leaving only a few behind, along with a bunch of new recruits.

Thinking about it this way, Gen is at most a new training base, and the probability of him taking over as "Guo Ying" is not high.

From now on, I'll just be a little busier.

Akabane comforted himself.

He left the Anbu and had just arrived in Konoha when he saw Orochimaru waiting at the crossroads.

"Orochimaru, you are..."

"Kiba-kun, thank you!"

Upon meeting, Orochimaru bowed at a 90-degree angle, showing his sincerity.

A smile he couldn't hide appeared on his face; he looked very happy and satisfied.

"What good thing happened?"

Akabane had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but having just clashed with Danzo, he was too lazy to think about it anymore.

"My teacher is going to set up a research institute, so I won't have to do my research in secret anymore."

Orochimaru was extremely grateful. "Although the teacher didn't mention it, I know you must have played a part in this."

"why?"

Akabane was puzzled. Had he become so outstanding that he could no longer hide it?

"Only you could come up with such a brilliant idea, and a way to make a profit from it."

Chapter 156 Don't underestimate art!

That's a hurtful thing to say!

Akabane was exasperated. What did he mean by "profiting from this"?

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally said what was on my mind."

Orochimaru seems to be in a good mood, and his speech is lively and energetic, unlike his previous quiet demeanor.

Although the two had exchanged information, Danzo's threat to them still existed.

Now that the research institute is complete, he no longer needs to be mindful of Danzo's feelings.

All research can be brought to the forefront.

of course……

If Orochimaru were interested in the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the chances of his proposal being approved by the Third Hokage's side would be almost zero.

But this time the efficiency was really high.

In the past, it would probably have been a lot of nonsense, or we would have had to wait for Danzo to return.

After all, in terms of rank, Danzo is now the Hokage's assistant, and these orders cannot be issued without him.

But this time the Third Hokage was very decisive, and held an internal meeting without waiting for Danzo to arrive.

The meeting concluded quickly and a decision was made.

Akabane took a few steps, thought for a moment, and then said, "I just went to see my teacher."

“My snake has noticed.”

Orochimaru was not surprised.

He deployed several spirit snakes as sentries, thus gaining advance knowledge of the movements of the Dark Division and Akabane.

"He has already relinquished control of the lab, and I will take over the rest of the business."

Akabane said in a low voice.

"Is it your responsibility to take the root of the problem?"

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised; how could he not know about "Root" when he was cooperating with Danzo?

That was Danzo's treasure!

"The new root is equivalent to the training department."

Akabane explained.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then said with some concern, "Be careful not to end up doing all the work for someone else."

"Yes, we definitely need to train our own people, so I'd like to ask you to procure some equipment."

"The arm guard of the Sky-Slicing Wave?"

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then immediately understood what Akabane meant.

"It would be best if all three types of equipment could be developed; the principles behind them are not difficult."

Orochimaru's ninjutsu and creativity play a very important role in training and developing "tools" (human beings).

Putting everything else aside, the Sound Ninja three-piece set is enough to serve as a formidable special combat device. With software modifications, it might even be possible to create a bunch of ninja-style special forces soldiers.

"Okay, this doesn't require a new lab. I should be able to figure it out in the next few days."

Orochimaru actually had a well-developed idea about the three pieces of equipment used by the Sound Ninja in the manga.

He had previously thought this thing was rather useless and had little research value, so he gave up the idea of ​​perfecting it.

Since Akabane needs it, he doesn't mind spending a little more time.

"It doesn't matter if we get it done sooner, since everyone can use the equipment anyway, and we might even be able to mention it to the teacher."

Akabane said nonchalantly.

The handover of Root will have to wait until the Land of Whirlpools is completely at war.

Judging from Danzo's intentions, once the Land of Wind is finished, he can immediately begin planning for the Land of Whirlpools.

Therefore, if you calculate the time, it won't be too long.

"That makes sense. Any other ideas?"

"Sound waves can also be detected. If you can develop ninjutsu in this area, you will have made a great contribution before the battle even begins."

Echolocation!

The strongest technique of the Mist Ninja is silent assassination.

however……

Under echolocation, nothing can be hidden.

"Sound wave detection?"

Orochimaru became interested and excitedly grabbed Akabane's hand, "Tell me quickly, what's the principle behind it?"

"When sound encounters an obstacle, it returns and forms an echo. Assuming that the speed of sound is constant, we can calculate what obstacle is ahead based on the time it takes for us to hear the echo."

Akabane said simply.

Orochimaru was initially very excited, but later his expression gradually turned sour.

Even if this technique is created, who can master it?

Even setting aside whether an echo can be heard, just the fact that one can deduce the other party's location from the echo requires a great deal of calculation.

In that time, the white eyes, the parasites, and so on would have been investigated and figured out long ago.

After much deliberation, he honestly asked, "Why do I feel like it's not working?"

"Ninjutsu alone is not very useful. You need to create a ninja tool that can emit and receive sound waves. Then you can just teach others how to use it."

Who can withstand the sheer volume of primitive technology?

Humans aren't bats; they can't hear sound waves and instantly know the other person's location.

"Although I don't know the specifics of how to do it, I have a general understanding of the principles."

Orochimaru nodded heavily.

I used to think sound waves were simple, but now that I listen to them, I realize that there are countless intricacies involved, and it's impossible to figure them out in just a few days.

"Okay, then... do you want to go to the lab?"

Akabane gave a frantic hint.

So much work to do, go and study it!

"Akabane-kun, do you want to come with us?"

"No, the comic will be updated this afternoon, and I have to go back to manage things at the store."

Akabane immediately explained.

His experience researching the Mirage of Mist with Orochimaru made him deeply aware of the terror of a mad scientist.

As for research, he can just be a master of empty talk.

"In that case, you should go back first. I'll test the sound wave detection you mentioned after I've developed three types of ninja tools."

Orochimaru, unaware of anything amiss, enthusiastically went to the laboratory instead.

Akabane breathed a sigh of relief.

If we really work with Orochimaru on this research, who knows when we'll be able to create the Light and Sound Ninja set?

After all, it's easy to talk about, but actually manufacturing it requires careful consideration of the size and number of sound holes. It's a complicated and meticulous process.

If you're not careful, your true nature as a poor student will be exposed.
