I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Akabane stamped his foot and said, "Why are you hiding? Come out."

"what's the situation?"

Kurama Yunlang was puzzled, but the next second, he saw Jiraiya emerge from the ground and suddenly appear in front of him in front of the counter.

"Hehehe, Brother Yunlang, I heard you got a manga called 'Kaihime Muzan'. Could you let me have it?"

Jiraiya rubbed his hands together in a lewd manner.

Akabane glanced back...

Wow, all nine comic books on the bookshelf have been bought?

There are quite a few gentlemen in Konoha!

"Are you kidding me?"

Anma Yunlang immediately exploded.

That was the last copy, and Yamano Izumi Kou came over in the afternoon and asked him about it. There were only ten copies left in Konoha, and the rest would be shipped overseas for sale.

How can we give away a limited edition treasure?

"Please, Brother Yunlang, that's definitely a masterpiece. It's very meaningful to me. Besides, don't you hate this kind of comic the most?"

Jiraiya jumped up, his face filled with indignation and sorrow.

If he hadn't been imprisoned on Mount Myōboku by the Toad Sage these past few days, he wouldn't have only just returned to Konoha, nor would he have only just learned about the new "Kaihime Muzan".

"Who says I hate it the most? I hate your terribly low-quality comics!"

Anma Yunlang remained unfazed.

Akabane realized that Jiraiya was hiding underneath, probably trying to steal the manga.

He glanced at him, then walked past him, intending to leave.

Jiraiya immediately grabbed him.

"what?"

"Please put in a good word for me, and I'm willing to pay ten times the price!"

Jiraiya pleaded shamelessly.

Akabane was helpless; it was just an art comic, yet it had managed to steal the spotlight of a rare, out-of-print artwork.

He pondered for a moment, looked at Anma Yunlang, glanced at him again, and then said, "Why don't you pay to rent it out? The comic book will still belong to Brother Yunlang."

"borrow?"

Jiraiya hesitated.

It was just a loan, it can't be considered his at all. Besides, it would be a waste for such a comic to remain in Kurama Unro's hands.

"Tch, don't make that face. If it weren't for Young Master Akabane saying that you could borrow it or not, you would have gone to borrow it from whoever told you about this book."

Anma Yunlang was straightforward and fearless.

He didn't know the whereabouts of the other nine books, but he was certain that they all came with transformation abilities.

Konoha is so big, finding nine books is just too difficult.

As for the book that Jiraiya knew belonged to, Akabane felt there was no need to guess. Judging from his conflicted expression, it was almost certainly the Third Hokage.

"I...I'll borrow...how much?"

Jiraiya reluctantly pulled out his wallet, realizing that despite doing a lot of missions recently, he hadn't actually saved much money.

Anma Yunlang held up one finger.

"One or two?"

"You're dreaming! One hundred taels!"

Jiraiya was dumbfounded. One hundred taels a day? Why don't you just rob someone!

Akabane shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

The goods belong to Yunlang, so he can set the price himself; that's what business is all about.

As for him, neither dissuasion nor encouragement was offered.

"I... wait a minute, let me have a few of the comics from before first."

Jiraiya wanted to say he wanted to rent it, but he swallowed his words halfway through. He then picked and chose from the store, finding all the updates he hadn't seen before.

Then he took out several hundred taels of silver.

"I'll rent that book after I've read all the updates."

Jiraiya seized every second and immediately picked up a book he hadn't read before and started flipping through it.

Akabane sat down, but immediately frowned, moved a little further away, and asked with disdain, "What do you smell like?"

"..."

Jiraiya paused for a moment and sniffed himself.

Although he couldn't smell anything, he knew he must have a odor, and immediately said with a sullen face, "It smells like toad oil."

"Toad oil?"

Is it a toad oil fire bomb?

It seems that Jiraiya is also growing and should not be underestimated.

Akabane was amazed, but at the same time, he quietly moved the stool two or three steps further away.

Because the smell of toad oil is quite strong.

"It's not so bad once you get used to it."

Jiraiya was helpless.

To enhance his strength, he had long since abandoned taste and integrity—he ate insects, let alone just being with toad oil.

As he spoke, he began to flip through the comics.

He hadn't been here for a few days, so he was already quite far behind on the updates, which allowed him to read four books in one go.

After looking at it for a short while, his eyes lit up.

"This Sound Ninja is so cute, and Ino is so pretty... Wow, I can picture this technique!"

Jiraiya watched for a while and roughly saw the plot where Ino used a secret technique to enter "Gold's" body and control it. However, it was clear that what he was thinking was not as innocent as in the manga.

"Yes, this plot will be perfect for the next book."

Jiraiya was also very excited.

Just thinking about it made him feel incredibly excited.

He finished the book very quickly. Except for the few female characters, he read it a little slower, but afterwards he turned a page almost every few seconds, which was incredibly fast.

When it came to Sakura and Ino's battle, he got excited again: "Wow, both sisters are so cute, twin sisters are great too."

Is he here to read comics or to look at girls?

Not only Kurama Unro had questions, but Akabane also felt his manga had been insulted. It was a perfectly normal plot; what on earth was this guy imagining after reading it?

Then, when the storyline involving Hinata and Neji came up, this guy got excited again.

A filthy person sees everything as filthy.

Akabane sighed softly, deciding not to continue, otherwise he feared he might not be able to resist going up and taking the comic back.

Jiraiya read very quickly, skimming the plot and finishing another volume in just a moment.

However, when it came to the battle between Lee and Gaara, he finally stopped quickly flipping through the pages and started reading the plot carefully.

After reading it, he took a deep breath and said with great emotion, "Akaba, do you know, I really know such a person. He doesn't have the talent for ninjutsu or genjutsu, but he insists on very rigorous training every day."

"Oh?"

Akabane raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

"He was a very pitiful yet hardworking person. He would get up very early and go to bed very late every day. He would exercise all the time except when he was eating. Sometimes I didn't know why he was so persistent."

The person Jiraiya was referring to was very likely Might Guy.

After a moment of silence, Akabane asked, "Has he already graduated?"

"He seems to be a year younger than me, so he should be graduating this year, though... he might not graduate at all."

Jiraiya's tone was downcast.

There are far too many children like that who can't graduate because they lack talent.

Every year, a large proportion of ordinary students are unable to graduate because of this, and after repeating the year for many years, they are helplessly eliminated and return to being ordinary people.

"I want to see him."

"what?"

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Akabane meant.

"As the manga says, there is another kind of genius in the world, and that is the hard-working genius. Even if they don't have great talent, as long as they persevere, they can still become a great ninja."

Akabane said, "I want to help him."

How could a fitness fanatic like that possibly waste his time and money reading comics?

Therefore, Akabane wanted to tell Might Guy this truth in person, and at the same time make Renka bloom ahead of time!

Chapter 187 Great Ninja? Keep fooling us!

How do you plan to help him?

The method of offering help matters.

If it's just sympathetic help, the other person might prefer not to receive it.

Because he didn't know how to help, Jiraiya never interfered in the other person's life.

"Encouragement, opportunity."

Akabane uttered two words.

The theory of the Eight Gates Formation is not difficult; what is difficult is that someone can persevere in practicing and implementing it.

People like Matt Day are exactly the kind of candidates that physical skills training programs need most.

of course……

Might Guy himself, as long as he knows the theory, can also develop the Eight Gates. However, compared with professional researchers like Orochimaru with extremely high knowledge reserves, his method is too simple and crude, and it is easy to go astray.

"When will you learn Danzo's ways?"

Jiraiya sighed helplessly, then quickly flipped through the book. "We probably won't find them if we go now. Let me finish reading the manga first."

He didn't know where Might Guy was every day, and besides, he hadn't been to Konoha for three days, so how would he know what was going on?

In addition, he was also curious.

What exactly does Akabane mean by encouragement and opportunity?

The two tacitly refrained from explaining, as places like comic book shops are crowded and chaotic, and some confidential matters are not suitable for discussion.

One Piece updates are infrequent, only a short while, and I finished reading it quickly.

Akabane wasn't in a hurry.

He has nothing to do anyway, so even if he goes home, he won't start painting, since he already has a clone working over there.

Jiraiya kept reading them until he finally put them all together.

Reference complete.

But the most precious one...

He looked at Anma Yunlang with some longing, but when he thought of the exorbitant price of one hundred taels a day, his face immediately fell.

"So, do you want to borrow it?"

Kurama Yunlang chuckled strangely, convinced that he had Jiraiya completely under his control.
