I'm drawing manga in Naruto

With the great war over and peace restored to the ninja world for over a year, the fighting strength of each village has slightly recovered, just as Akabane stated in the manga.

Peace is so, so difficult.

Not only that, there's also the evil cult inside...

After pondering for a long time, he asked solemnly, "Is it true that the Tang Ren you mentioned, who worships an evil god, possesses powerful regenerative abilities?"

“That’s right. He has a chakra within him that can help him recover quickly, and to strengthen this chakra, he must torture others to perform that kind of evil god ritual, otherwise it will slowly disappear.”

Akabane naturally omitted the fact that they deliberately allowed the other side to kill, and only mentioned the results of Orochimaru's research.

"I never imagined there was such an evil cult in the ninja world."

The third generation gasped.

The "evil god cult" exists solely for the purpose of creating bloodshed; it has no other purpose whatsoever.

The most terrifying thing is that Konoha was completely unaware of this beforehand.

"They may be more cautious in their actions, specifically targeting smaller ninja villages, and their movements are relatively subtle, so they remain unknown to others."

Akabane explained.

"Beneath the surface of peace, a turbulent undercurrent indeed exists."

The Third Hokage sighed softly, then asked out of the blue, "Akaba, would you be willing to be my disciple?"

"No... that's not appropriate."

Akabane was stunned for a moment.

Having obtained Danzo's summoning contract and received considerable help from him, the fact that he now wants to join the Third Hokage would probably give him a stroke.

"Hahaha, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

The third generation let out a hearty laugh.

Just now, as he looked at Akabane, he suddenly realized that Danzo hadn't actually wanted Orochimaru; he had been after Kurama Akabane from the very beginning.

However, only Danzo could control Akabane's personality.

Thinking of this, the third generation remembered their son's frying pan.

I can't think about it, it's giving me a headache!

"By the way, I met a student named Might Guy yesterday. His ninjutsu and genjutsu are so bad that he won't be able to graduate. I would like to make a special request to you to transfer him to the preparatory department's physical combat specialty class."

The principal of the Ninja Academy is still nominally the Hokage, so Might Guy's affairs need to be reported to the Third Hokage.

The third generation pondered for a moment, clearly not remembering who Might Guy was.

There are too many people in the village, and the number of students is increasing with each generation; how could he possibly remember so many people?

He then pulled out a booklet from underneath and searched for a long time before finally finding Matt Day's record.

"His genjutsu and ninjutsu are both very poor, and his taijutsu... well, his taijutsu is also just average, but his teacher said he works very, very hard."

Three generations read and recorded it.

Then, he seemed to realize something, his expression suddenly changed, and he angrily said, "You don't mean to make him train in the Eight Gates, do you?"

The Eight Gates Formation has recently appeared in the manga.

The content of the manga is naturally considered to be Akabane's philosophy. The Eight Gates do exist, and many people have made theoretical conjectures and deductions about the Eight Gates Formation, but no one dares to actually try it.

The price is too high!

"No, you misunderstand. The Eight Gates can't be opened just like that. After our research, we found that it requires some kind of unknown talent. Our idea is to teach them some of the physical techniques we've researched and found to be usable."

Akabane immediately explained.

The martial arts specialty class doesn't just teach the Eight Gates; the Eight Gates are forbidden techniques, and their main purpose is as weapons for deterrence.

Most people can actually learn the other techniques, such as the Silent Step, the Dipper Death, and the later Navy Six Styles, etc.

"I hope you will be careful. Although physical techniques are less costly than ninjutsu or genjutsu, a mistake could lead to disability."

The third generation solemnly stated, "As researchers, we must never disregard life or take other people's lives lightly."

"I see."

Akabane lowered his head.

The development of the Eight Gates naturally had to proceed step by step. It took Dai twenty years to truly master it. Even if they had theoretical research, they still had to be cautious when actually implementing it.

In dire circumstances, Akabane would even consider using points to exchange for the Eight Gates Formation.

"You should know what's important. I trust you relatively well in this regard. The key is Orochimaru. You must help me pass on my message."

The three generations continued to give their instructions.

"Yes, it's alright then..."

"Wait, don't rush off. Shinnosuke is working on chakra weapons lately, and I think you should go take a look."

Chakra weapon?

Akabane involuntarily recalled the scene when Shinnosuke obtained the frying pan during their desert survival mission—

Did I somehow make a frying pan?

Thinking about this, he understood why the third generation was so annoyed.

It takes a long time for the ice to freeze three feet thick!

Chapter 191 Silent Step Version of Instantaneous Movement Technique

"So, Shinnosuke really did make a frying pan?"

The Hatake clan's dojo.

Akabane didn't go to Shinnosuke, but instead secretly went to find Yoru.

Yoruichi and Shinnosuke are teammates, and the Moonlight Clan is closely related to the Sarutobi Clan, so he went to find Yoruichi first, even though it was a long way off.

He doesn't dare go to Shinnosuke's side yet.

"It happened the day before yesterday. He designed a picture of a frying pan and asked the clan to make it. It was simply..."

As Ye Wu spoke, her expression grew increasingly strange.

It seems there's more to the story.

Akabane felt increasingly uneasy, so he cautiously asked, "What's wrong?"

He said the frying pan was the most suitable weapon for him in the world, and claimed that once it was made, it would be passed down as a family heirloom.

Upon hearing this, Akabane didn't know how to express his feelings.

Like him, Yewu was also incredulous when he first heard the news, but now he was probably numb to it, rambling on and on: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with a frying pan. It can be used for both offense and defense, and it's also very compatible with the nature transformation of Earth Release chakra."

"This family heirloom is too outrageous. The Sarutobi clan will hate me to death."

Akabane was somewhat frightened.

His decision not to join the Sarutobi clan was the right one. Just imagine, as the eldest son of the third generation, Shinnosuke could become the clan leader in the future, as long as he wasn't too bad.

If the clan leader's heirloom is famous enough, it will eventually become a heirloom of the Sarutobi clan.

The Hatake family heirloom is a short sword.

The symbol of the Senju clan is the first necklace.

When I mention it to others in the future, I will say that the Sarutobi clan's heirloom is a pot!

What if he gets some kind of "pot-making ninja" or "pot-making hero" title, and eventually inherits the Hokage position...?

A real pot shadow?

"The three generations of officials will hate me for the rest of their lives."

Akabane covered his face.

No wonder I feel like I'm going through menopause today. Anyone would be upset if they experienced something like this, especially since I was "drawn to death" in the comic. Anyone else would have been cursing and spewing profanities.

"It's not that serious, anyway, it's not the first time."

Night Dance said with a sharp remark, "Sakumo is going to be the future head of the Hatake clan. The Hatake clan's heritage includes not only the short sword ninja style, but also a dual-sword style and Chidori."

"I really appreciate your comforting words."

Akabane's eyelids twitched, then he leaned against the big tree and asked, "What are you doing, Sakumo? I've been quite busy lately and haven't been able to come see you."

"Sakumo has been missing for quite some time."

Night Dance looked around, then leaned closer and whispered, "They're probably going into the Dark Division for training, and then they'll be going to the battlefield."

This is a confidential matter.

He wouldn't have revealed this if he didn't know that Akabane was close to the Anbu and Root.

"Sakumo's abilities are best suited for the battlefield, where he can grow the fastest."

We're going to the battlefield!

Someone like Sakumo, who has experienced the baptism of war, might come back as a Jonin.

Akabane sighed inwardly.

He then looked at Ye Wu: "And you?"

"My strength is insufficient; going to the battlefield would only cause trouble."

After finishing her speech, Ye Wu got up and continued exercising.

During this period, he did not practice swordsmanship, but instead focused on honing his chakra control. Although he was still not as good as Tsunade or Akabane, the results were quite remarkable.

Judging from the chakra threads, controlling the three swords should be no problem at all.

However, he was clearly not satisfied. To complement the Crescent Moon Dance, the chakra threads needed to be even thinner so that they wouldn't be detected by the enemy.

"At the current pace, your sword clone will soon be able to be used in conjunction with your swordsmanship. Who knows, it might even become a family heirloom of the Moonlight Clan in the future."

Akabane said, half-jokingly.

If the method of controlling the sword clones were more covert, it might be even more powerful. However, manipulating the blade remotely, even just the sword clones, is extremely difficult.

For the time being, puppetry is the best solution.

After practicing for a while, Ye Wu shook her head and said, "I'm still far from good enough!"

"Alright, you can practice slowly. I'm going to run away before Uncle Kazami comes back."

Akabane waved his hand.

Kazami Hatake has been very busy lately, so he is often away from the clan. The dojo is currently being looked after by Yoru.

But waiting a little longer might not be the case.

"Wait, Silent Step and Die-Die look pretty cool too. Can you tell me what you think?"

Ye Wu pulled him down, sat him down, and took out a comic book from her pocket.

"This character's abilities are all inspired by a cat's attacks. Cats walk silently, and their attacks are also very fierce claw strikes."

Akabane mimicked a move from a manga, then slashed at an angle.

Night Dance was speechless. Of course he knew it was imitating a cat's moves, but the key was how to perfectly hide the sound and move at high speed.

Ninjutsu includes the Body Flicker Technique, which allows for high-speed movement.

The issue is.

The clones of the Crescent Moon Dance are illusory and have no substance, so their running is naturally silent.

The original body is different.

Running at high speed will always make a slight sound, and even if it is barely audible, it is still deadly to a ninja.

Assassination techniques allow no room for error.

To ensure a high success rate, the Dance of the Crescent Moon usually ends with a leaping attack from a blind spot. The advantage of this is that the jump increases the power of the sword strike, achieving a one-hit kill.

If you can master the silent step, you won't need to go through all that complicated stuff.

"Silent Step is just a concept, inspired by the beast mimicry ninjutsu."
