I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Jinchūriki?

Shuo Mao frowned slightly.

Sunagakure places great importance on Jinchuriki, and this generation of Jinchuriki remains unknown to this day, never even appearing in the public eye of Sunagakure.

Would a village like this allow a Jinchuriki to participate in the Chunin Exams?

What a joke!

The comic wasn't made up out of thin air. After thinking for a long time, Sakumo keenly sensed that there was something wrong here.

However, this part of the plot doesn't reveal anything, it just makes people feel that Gaara is very cruel and bloodthirsty, but nothing else.

In episode sixty, Kabuto reappears.

This episode only features Team 7, Kabuto, and an eye lurking in the shadows.

After reading this chapter...

Sakumo pointed at Kabuto and asked, "Is he one of Orochimaru's men?"

"Did you watch the rest of the story?"

Kurama Yunlang was somewhat surprised.

"No."

Sakumo waved the eleventh volume in his hand. He hadn't started reading today's update yet and didn't know what would happen next.

However, judging from the current plot, the clues are already quite obvious.

Akabane remained noncommittal, only offering a smile.

Shuo Mao closed the eleventh volume and opened the next one, which contained the latest episode delivered today.

Upon reading the next chapter, he became even more certain of his suspicions.

Kabuto is Orochimaru's spy!

However, there were still some things that puzzled him. Why would Sunagakure release a Jinchuriki just to participate in the Chunin Exams?

Is it really worth it?

Later in the story, a scene appears where Kabuto and Orochimaru are walking together.

"As expected... But, it was all just for Uchiha Sasuke?"

Sakumo pondered, completely immersing himself in the story, not just as a reader.

As an insider, speculate on the roles and purposes of Kabuto and Orochimaru.

Unfortunately, there were too few clues.

He only sensed that these two characters were involved in a long storyline, but he couldn't guess what the storyline was.

Seeing Kabuto choose to abstain, he became even more certain of this.

"I feel like something big is going to happen during the Chunin Exams. I feel like the upcoming plot is going to be very... very exciting."

Sakumo considered his words for a moment, then closed the comic book after saying those words.

Akabane admired him greatly.

In his past life, when he read comics, he wouldn't have seriously tried to understand the characters in the story. Instead, he would have focused more on how the comics were drawn and how the characters' emotions were expressed through the visuals.

"Will something big happen during the Chunin Exams? Why? Is it because of Orochimaru?"

A child who was about to buy a comic book looked up and asked.

The child was only about five or six years old, but he could already understand the patterns and words on it.

Judging from his clothing, he must have come from a commoner background.

Sakumo gently stroked his hair and said, "It could be Orochimaru and Kabuto, or it could be Sunagakure."

"I don't quite understand."

The child shook his head.

He's so young, he only knows how to read comics, how would he know so much?

Not to mention him, even Kurama Yunlang was completely baffled—

As the shop owner, he probably knows less about the future developments of the manga's plot than Sakumo does.

“You are really amazing.”

Akabane sincerely exclaimed that intelligence analysis is also a course of ninja knowledge, and Sakumo's ability in this area is simply at its maximum level.

"It's just an analysis based on reality. If what you draw has absolutely nothing to do with reality, I have no way of guessing."

As he spoke, Sakumo flipped open the One Piece manga.

He wouldn't dare say he could predict the plot of One Piece, because it's a completely unfamiliar system, a fictional world.

He has read all the One Piece manga.

However, I was busy practicing dual swords in the latest episode and didn't have time to watch it.

When he saw the scene of Oni-giri...

"This is the first time I've encountered this technique, but what was the Three Thousand Worlds technique yesterday?"

Sakumo still had that move on his mind.

"Keep it a secret, it will be revealed later."

Akabane chuckled.

This is one of Zoro's strongest techniques in his Three-Sword Style, and it's been released quite late; they'll have to wait a while.

"alright."

Shuo Mao paused here, "Ye Wu really did start practicing; she's been researching the Sword Shadow Clone Technique lately."

"what?"

Akabane was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this.

The Third Hokage did have a Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, but how do you create a Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique?

"He specifically sought out the Third Hokage to learn the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, and the Third Hokage taught him."

Sakumo continued.

“Any results?”

Akabane was very impressed. If Night Dance could solve the problem of controlling the Sword Shadow Clone, and then combine it with the Crescent Moon Dance, it might really have a very good effect.

"At the moment... no."

Shuo Mao put away the book.

Night Dance has been staying at the Hatake family's dojo for a while, and like him, she hasn't seen these updates, so she's taking the opportunity to share them.

Will there be an update tomorrow?

Sakumo asked a rare question, eager to know if the subsequent developments would unfold as he had anticipated.

"should have."

Akabane needs to speed up the updates, so as long as the factory can print them, he will continue to provide enough updates.

Shuo Mao wrapped the books in a cloth, then slung them over his shoulder, looking just like a peddler buying and selling.

"gone."

He waved and left the shop.

Akabane stretched and went into the lounge to check on his clone's drawing progress.

Previously, I had been drawing "Naruto". Including the updates from Izumi Hiroshi Yamano, I have already drawn up to chapter 70 of Naruto.

The shadow clone is currently drawing an update of One Piece.

"I'll start drawing from the end of Naruto, chapter 71..."

Akabane sat down and took out his easel and brushes.

The plot of this episode seems to be a battle between the two sisters, Sakura and Ino—although he felt that the relationship between the two sisters was rather superficial.

The most exciting part of the preliminary rounds was the match between Lee and Gaara.

The Eight Gates clash with the Jinchūriki.

Although Xiao Li lost in the end, his performance was truly captivating, making it arguably the most exciting duel in this part of the story.

Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to draw this part of the story tomorrow.

Akabane drew slowly, pondering other questions.

With the story progressing to this point, many people have probably guessed that Orochimaru returned to the village with a special purpose. So, what will happen to public opinion in the village when the Konoha Crush plan is revealed?

The shadow of a village, whose disciple turned out to be a traitor, returned to personally destroy the village he once knew.

However, after so much buildup, the fact that "Orochimaru" is a villain was already revealed long ago.

The biggest reaction at that time should be the ending where the Third Hokage is killed by Orochimaru, and... also the Reaper Death Seal and the Impure World Reincarnation.

One is a forbidden technique that is said to be able to summon the Grim Reaper.

The other is a forbidden ninjutsu that manipulates the souls of the dead.

He was preoccupied with something and unconsciously made a mistake in his drawing. Fortunately, it wasn't too serious, so he simply touched it up with ink and it quickly blended into the design.

However, to avoid making another mistake, Akabane focused his mind and concentrated on drawing the manga.

With the main body present, the clone seemed to move much faster, and another page was completed in a short while.

While Akabane was focused on drawing.

In the Anbu, Danzo picked up a document and examined it carefully. This was some information he had missed when he went to Sunagakure. Now that he had recovered, he was reading it from the beginning to avoid missing any information.

Aburame Etsugu stood silently before him.

"Orochimaru's ninja tools have already begun production?"

Danzo saw a message that Orochimaru had restored and improved the facilities from the manga, allowing him to unleash the Sky-Slicing Wave with the help of a new ninja tool. The message also mentioned that Akabane was collaborating with the Armory to manufacture this ninja tool.

Aburame Otane nodded and said, "The ones Orochimaru made by hand are indeed usable, but whether the ones mass-produced in the factory can be put into use is still unknown."

"New ninja tools may pose risks; it would be best to test them with shadow clones before deploying them."

"Yes, I understand."

Upon hearing the reply, Danzo continued reading the next item, only to find another explosive piece of information.

Tsunade has recently been researching information about the First Hokage.

What do you mean?

He turned the scroll over and showed it to Aburame Eokun.

Aburame Otane glanced at it and explained, "My lord, Tsunade came to the Anbu and borrowed all the information about the First Hokage. She also had a conversation with Orochimaru."

Danzo was puzzled.

When it comes to understanding Hashirama Senju, the Senju clan is undoubtedly more knowledgeable, yet they ended up having the Anbu investigate...

I don’t quite understand!

He pondered for a moment, then set the scroll aside.

"How's Akabane's manga going lately?"

Danzo paused his work for the moment, and Akabane's manga came to mind.

Come to think of it, it's been a while since I last watched it...

"Would you like to hear spoilers or watch it yourself?"

The oil-loving woman asked uncertainly.

Come to think of it, the term "spoiler" seems to have originated from Akabane's side...

Danzo sighed inwardly, then thought for a moment and said, "Bring me the manga, I'll take a look myself."

Subsequently, several comic books were brought up.
