I'm drawing manga in Naruto

The shadow clone said calmly, "But later, you have to give me a break and let me go out for a stroll."

As a shadow clone, his lifespan is very short.

Many exes begin and end with work, but he's different; he's a shadow clone with dreams.

"Sure, can you send me the update? I'll take a stroll over there while I do."

Akabane said casually.

"..."

Still working.

The shadow clone sighed deeply, realizing that he was just like Yang Bailao, destined to be exploited throughout his life.

However, it's good that they can leave the village, as most of their shadow clones probably haven't even left the village.

He comforted himself in this way.

In fact, compared to those shadow clones that were created only to die, they were already quite lucky, at least that's what Akabane thought.

With both the main body and the shadow clone working together, it will only take a short while for the next five episodes to finish.

As for the one on the other side...

After completing the fifth chapter of Naruto, I'll send the manga here and then decisively disintegrate myself.

However, Akabane quickly finished the remaining five chapters of One Piece. After all, the two of them were drawing at the same time and supervising each other, so their efficiency was three times higher than usual.

At this time, Yamano Izumi's caravan had not yet arrived. Akabane kept his promise and sent his clone to deliver the manga update, while also taking a stroll.

As for whether the clone will cause trouble...

It is impossible to know, since the individual consciousness created by the shadow clone is relatively independent.

The shadow clone left the village.

The location of the arsenal was not difficult to find from the shared memories, so he made his way smoothly after leaving the village and arrived at the arsenal in no time.

"You are... Mr. Akabane, why did you come in person?"

No need to announce it; the two security guards recognize them.

Now, in the arsenal, some people may not recognize the ministers from above, but absolutely no one will not recognize Akabane.

After all, the profits from the weapons business go to the higher-ups, while the profits from the comics are shared by everyone.

"I have some business to attend to here. Is Mr. Yamano here?"

The shadow clone asked calmly.

"Yes, yes, you can go find it yourself."

The two security guards were very welcoming and, without suspecting anything, opened the door and let Akabane in.

If we were to replace them with someone else, we would probably have to conduct a thorough review.

"Thank you."

Akabane entered, took the familiar route, and found the mountain spring inside.

Yamano Izumi looked very surprised.

Unless there is something very important, Akabane will not personally go to update the manga.

Is it a shadow clone or someone in disguise?

He pondered inwardly, but outwardly remained calm and extremely enthusiastic, immediately standing up and saying, "Mr. Akabane, I didn't expect you to come in person."

"Factory manager, you don't need to test me anymore. Why don't you just start calling me Akabane directly?"

The shadow clone calmly sat down, seeing through Yamano Izumi's probing, and then took out several comics from the package.

Yamano Izumi gave an awkward laugh and apologized, saying, "The weapons I manufacture are quite valuable, so I need to be careful."

"Understood, I'm here mainly about the comic update."

The shadow clone divided the comics into three stacks, pointing to the thickest one and saying, "This stack is for One Piece updates, this stack is for Naruto, and this stack..."

What is this stack of things?

Yamano Izumi came closer and looked at it curiously for a few moments.

Kaihime Muzan?

"This is my latest attempt at a short comic. You can take some and print them out. Konoha doesn't need to print them. They should be mainly shipped and sold to foreign countries such as the Land of Rivers, Amegakure, and the Land of Water."

The shadow clone said calmly.

"You only need to sell to other countries, right? Okay, I understand."

Yamano Izumi understood, and then turned the comic book over to take a look.

He was captivated at first sight.

This style of painting...

Delicate and graceful, the clothing is also a very retro Warring States period style.

The most important thing is!

Turn to the first page, and you'll find an exquisitely beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous, color portrait.

He quickly looked up.

The shadow clone asked with feigned concern, "Mr. Yamano, are you alright?"

"No...it's nothing, I've just not feeling well lately, and it seems like I'm going to have a nosebleed."

Yamano Izumi quickly put the cover back on, while secretly suppressing the inner demon within him to prevent it from escaping and causing havoc on the world.

"It's good that you're alright. I'll leave the printing of this comic to you. The proceeds will remain the same."

The shadow clone said calmly.

"This comic is bound to be a hit. If it isn't, I'll eat it in front of all the workers in the factory."

"Izumi Kou said with absolute certainty."

The book is a good book; otherwise, it's impossible that reading just one page would disturb his usual peace and quiet.

How could a good book like this not become a hit?

"You can decide for yourself, but it's better to be as fast as possible."

After the shadow clone finished speaking, it took out the stack of One Piece updates separately and said, "There are ten chapters here. You can compile them into a booklet and print it out."

"clear."

Shan Yequan Hong nodded.

The shadow clone nodded slightly, then said with concern, "Mr. Yamano, if you are not feeling well, please take care to rest. Eat more good food to replenish your nutrition, otherwise it will be very troublesome for me if you collapse."

"Of course, of course."

Yamano Izumi laughed wickedly without any attempt to hide it. Akabane's clone didn't seem to care, and after putting down the manga update, he got up and left.

There is still some chakra left in the body, enough to sustain the consumption for a while longer.

If it ends now, the original party will immediately receive the news, and his hard-earned work may be lost.

After he left, Yamano Izumi excitedly picked up "Kaihime". He looked at the cover carefully and noticed that the name on the cover was not Kurama Akabane, but "Shinnosuke".

However, he didn't care. Painting this kind of picture and changing the name to something unrelated to himself would indeed make it easier for people abroad to accept it. His focus was not on the artist's name, but on the content.

He turned to the first page, studied it carefully, and then turned to the next page to continue reading the comics.

"I thought Akabane couldn't draw like this, but it seems I was too naive."

When Yamano Izumi saw what was behind him, his heart pounded violently.

Bravo!

Chapter 181 Just one look, just one look!

"My day!"

Akabane cursed in frustration.

After thinking it over and over, I thought there was no problem, but in the end I was still tricked.

Kaihime Muzan?

That guy actually came up with that idea!

Truly worthy of myself...

Akabane sighed softly, somewhat helpless.

To be honest, he himself did not object to these comics; otherwise, he would not have been so well-read and knowledgeable in his previous life, let alone guided Jiraiya to complete such a work.

However, the premise is that he himself does not participate.

Deep down, Akabane felt that such artwork was undignified and not the style of a great manga artist.

However, since things have come to this point, the shadow clone has already made a contract with Yamano Izumi on his behalf, and there is no point in going back on it now.

As shadow clones, they understand the original body quite well. As long as there is a large gap between the "facts occurring" and the "information feedback", Akabane will gradually accept the facts and will not take any measures to stop it.

It's not that I can't, it's that I'm too lazy to do it.

Of course, this is on the premise that the use of shadow clones will not actually harm the original body and will instead benefit the original body.

For example, art comics.

Even if it's a special category, it can still increase your points, right?

Mosquito meat is still meat.

Akabane Mimi ate dinner and then sat down to rest, comforting herself in this way.

"Akaba, Kiyotsuki hasn't returned for three days. What happened?"

Saki cleared away the dishes and asked with some concern.

She always felt a sense of emptiness after suddenly losing her "youngest daughter".

"She is practicing a special sealing technique with Lady Mito, and her chakra is not very stable. Lady Mito needs to keep an eye on her at all times, otherwise she may be in danger."

Akabane offered an explanation.

"Ugh, I don't know what to do lately. I'm even losing interest in reading comics. Please speed up the updates! Waiting for them every day is so boring!"

Kurama Saki sighed and urged him on.

Aside from being a mother, she is also a loyal manga fan of Akabane, watching Naruto and One Piece without missing a single episode.

Akabane was pleased that she accepted the manga, but strongly condemned and expressed dissatisfaction with the pressure to release more chapters.

Five chapters a day, what more do you want?

and so……

He went upstairs to sleep.

Early the next morning, Yamano Izumi's caravan slowly entered Konoha and arrived at the comic book shop along the outer road.

"Yunlang, opening the shop so late tonight, be careful Chiyu will scold you."

When Yamano Izumi saw Kurama Yunlang setting up his stall, he called out from afar, and then made a small joke as he got closer.

"You're right, I always open the shop at this time. You're just too early."

Kurama Yunlang wiped his hands and then came over to inspect the goods—actually, there wasn't much to inspect; he mainly checked whether the goods had gotten wet or something.

"Two hundred copies were printed the day before yesterday. The ones that were just delivered yesterday haven't been printed yet. Only fifty copies are available at my factory. Yesterday's One Piece update was too numerous, so we didn't include them this time. In addition, we'll make up for the previous updates with two hundred copies each, as well as ten new short comics."

"Short comics?"

Kurama Yunlang was slightly taken aback, as he had never heard Akabane mention any new comics being drawn.

"No... um, it was drawn by an artist named Shinnosuke."

Yamano Izumi was about to say that it was given by Akabane, but then he thought about it and "guessed" Akabane's intention in going there alone, so he took the initiative to "conceal" it for him.

"never heard of that."
