I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Hinata Shinza glanced at it a few times, then asked, "How's the communication with the caravan going?"

"They will cooperate fully."

The third generation produced the blank letter sealed with the daimyo's seal, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Shinsaku Hyuga nodded, saying nothing.

“Akabane, you’ve been to the Land of Rivers, and the caravans there cooperate with you. Tell me about the situation there.”

Xiaochun said after turning to bed.

really……

As Hinata Shinza said, it was his job, and he couldn't avoid it no matter how hard he tried.

Akabane sighed inwardly and thought for a moment about what to say.

Then, pointing to a location on the map, he said, "The caravan's final destination is here, Chaochuan Town. It is an important transportation hub in the Land of Rivers, and most of the rogue ninjas also run here."

"Are there any people from Sunagakure over there?"

Reconnaissance is not so simple. If the population is mixed, it will be difficult for them to distinguish each other's identities, and their infiltration work will also be at risk of being exposed.

"When we arrived, there was a rogue ninja from Sunagakure, but he was later killed, supposedly by the Mist Ninja."

"The Mist Ninja..."

The Third Hokage frowned slightly. Kirigakure was overseas, and the rogue ninja had run off to the Land of Rivers, which was far inland. That was quite an idea.

However, he didn't pay attention to these things and let Chiyu continue.

Then, Akabane recounted his "experience" in Chaochuan.

After a moment of contemplation, the third generation leader and the two elders spoke up: "Clan Chief Zhen Zuo, what do you think?"

“If I were to lead the reconnaissance, I would suggest that the Inuzuka, Gekko, and Hatake clans send people to infiltrate Ayakawa Town with the caravan, while our Hyuga clan secretly crosses the border and monitors from the outside using the Byakugan.”

Shinsaku Hyuga is very careful with his words, leaving no room for criticism.

"The Anbu can't help, so the reconnaissance work in the Land of Rivers is entrusted to you. You must monitor every move of Sunagakure and report back to the village immediately if there is any disturbance."

The Third Hokage's statement essentially indicates his agreement with Hyuga Shinso's policies.

Akabane kept his eyes down, his mind at ease, and did not speak or participate in these political affairs.

however……

Next, the Third Generation tapped the table lightly and said after a moment, "Also, Akabane, your reserve department should be set up soon. It's best to arrange the personnel in advance to avoid being caught off guard."

"Yes, don't worry, I have a complete plan."

Akabane nodded.

"What are your plans for the reserve department?"

Mitomon was somewhat worried.

He's just a child, yet he's taking on so many responsibilities; it's really putting him in a difficult position...

"Speak your mind and don't hold anything back."

The third generation tapped the table with his pipe, his words carrying a warning tone.

"I plan to teach according to individual aptitude. In addition to training together, I will divide students into special classes for physical skills and special classes for illusion skills, and provide special guidance to these two types."

"Specialty class?"

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her new room, frowned slightly, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

The Third Hokage reached out to silence her, then nodded to Akabane and said, "You may continue."

"Yes. The taijutsu specialty class is mainly for ninjas who do not have talent in ninjutsu or genjutsu. It allows them to train intensively, and when they go on missions, they are assigned to other teams according to their abilities, so it does not affect them."

Akabane explained, "As for the illusion class... I mainly guide them on some aspects of illusion techniques."

He had long had ideas for an illusion class.

In combat, genjutsu is a rather useless ability, except for the bloodline limit genjutsu of the Uchiha and Kurama clans.

Akabane provided them with intensive guidance in order to increase the number of servers in the future.

"Hmm, that's a very good suggestion."

The three generations nodded.

He thought more deeply than Akabane. In the inheritance of ninjutsu, genjutsu, and other things, commoners could never compare with clan disciples.

Physical skills are different.

This is a path that anyone can practice; as long as you work hard enough, you can master decent physical skills.

If trained properly, perhaps a few excellent physical talents can be produced.

Therefore, the Third Hokage thought for a moment and said, "I agree with the idea of ​​special classes, but for some of the students, I hope you will not only teach them physical skills or illusion techniques."

"do not worry."

Akabane readily agreed.

Regarding the special talent class, he didn't plan to find people with talents other than physical skills.

Like a physical education class.

Among the three who mastered the Eight Gates Formation, they all shared one characteristic: apart from taijutsu (physical arts), their other talents were not particularly outstanding.

That's why they can focus on physical training, forcing themselves to train and become stronger.

There aren't many who specialize in illusion magic, but since they're just training servers, the requirements aren't too high. Once they can become servers themselves, they'll naturally have already mastered ordinary illusion magic.

As for teaching, Yuhi Shinku has already mastered the basics of the illusion. With a little more guidance, she'll probably be able to take up a substitute teacher position.

The Third Hokage hadn't watched any Naruto updates and hadn't guessed Akabane's plan, so he nodded in approval.

After that, Koharu, who was in the dormitory, raised a few more issues, all of which concerned the preparatory department.

Shinsaku Hyuga listened from the side without offering any opinion.

Only at the very end did he say, "I've heard that Akabane has a kind of illusion technique called Illusionary Game. Could we use this to establish a special training class for reconnaissance?"

Akabane's face turned green upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "This is quite difficult. If the technology catches up later, I will consider setting up a reconnaissance squad."

Training reconnaissance inevitably requires the assistance of the five senses.

Therefore, Akabane had to personally oversee the establishment of the reconnaissance squad and the training of the students.

He doesn't have that much time.

"Okay, then I'm all set."

Hinata Shinza didn't know Akabane very well, so when Akabane answered like that, he really thought there was no such condition.

The Third Generation was well aware of Akabane's situation, but there was a limit to how much pressure he could exert. In the early days of the Reserve Department's establishment, Akabane had no time to deal with the reconnaissance squad.

Chapter 186, a limited edition comic, is available for an exorbitant rental price!

"In that case, sirs, I shall take my leave now."

"can."

The third generation nodded, indicating that he could leave.

Akabane is only twelve or thirteen years old. If he were given a really important task, it would be hard to say whether he could handle it, and some people in the village would probably have objections.

This is the best we can do for now.

Akabane nodded slightly.

As he walked out of the Hokage Building, his mind was still replaying the meeting he had just attended.

The secret service was dispatched to the Land of Whirlpools.

This is an open war.

The reconnaissance and surveillance in the land of rivers, and the village reserve units—these are all preparations for another war.

When the real war breaks out, everyone in the reserve force will go to the battlefield—including him, Kurama Akabane.

"Fortunately, I've drawn quite a few recently and accumulated some points."

Akabane sighed softly to himself.

The system has been updating very quickly in the last two days, resulting in a surge in points. The system panel now shows over 2,600 points.

These points are enough to redeem both perception abilities and healing enhancements simultaneously.

Perception is very important.

Having this ability is extremely helpful for both survival and offense, therefore...

Back in the comic shop's break room, he immediately exchanged his enhanced perception abilities.

One thousand points will be deducted.

Then, the system's power began to manifest.

There were no physical changes, but Akabane felt that his control over his mental energy was more refined, and his perception of his surroundings was clearer.

He can sense changes in his surroundings as soon as he closes his eyes.

"Almost half the village."

Akabane took a deep breath, then quickly withdrew his senses.

This is not the limit.

The reason he only covered half the village was because he dared not extend his sensory abilities to the Senju clan; if Mito Uzumaki could sense them, he would be doomed.

Of the abilities of the Uzumaki clan that have been exchanged for, only the healing ability remains unexchanged.

The Uzumaki clan's healing ability allows them to recover by having someone bite their skin, making their healing power even stronger than many medical ninjutsu that would follow.

However, the thought of his body covered in other people's teeth marks made Akabane feel a chill, and even though he could heal himself, he still couldn't bear it.

With over 1,500 points remaining, 1,000 were exchanged for one-handed hand seals, and the remaining 500 were used to add two points of mental power.

As the attributes improve, the price becomes increasingly expensive.

Difficult!

Akabane sighed as he looked at his points, which had now dropped to double digits. Although the One Piece manga had just arrived and he hadn't fully digested the previous two Naruto volumes, the departure of the Anbu during the war meant he had lost many sources of points.

We need to keep working hard.

He then sorted through the memories in his mind.

One-handed hand seals are not a bloodline limit; many people can master this skill through continuous practice.

The system-generated product is top-tier from the moment it's redeemed.

One-handed hand seal, Earth Escape.

In just a second or two, the hand seal was successfully formed.

Although it's a little slower than forming hand seals, it's still quite fast compared to a normal person.

Akabane returned to his room and crawled out of the ground.

He was quite satisfied with his one-handed hand seals, which would greatly enrich his attack methods in the future—for example, using one hand to manipulate two pens with puppetry, and using the other hand to perform hand seals for some ninjutsu with fewer seals.

Or it can be combined with hand seal ninjutsu, such as super strength or Rasengan; in short, it has many uses.

Akabane ignored his clone who was frantically drawing and got up to leave, but just as he stepped out of the lounge—

"Jiraiya? What's that guy doing sneaking around like that!"

With heightened perception, one slightly uncomfortable thing is that you can unconsciously sense what people around you are thinking.

Such as now.

Akabane didn't pay much attention, but Jiraiya was immediately perceived as if by a guiding light. For some reason, this guy was hiding under Kurama Unro, seemingly planning a sneak attack.

"Yunlang, have you offended Jiraiya recently?"

"Jiraiya? No, there isn't!"

Kurama Yunlang looked bewildered, not understanding why Akabane asked such a question.
