I'm drawing manga in Naruto

He kept talking on and on.

Akabane shut his mouth and listened attentively.

He got it.

Orochimaru doesn't need answers from others; he only needs one listener—one who won't look at his questions and research with prejudice.

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he closed the box, then sat down and said, "I'm also thinking about whether, if I were to forge the memories of characters like Iruka and Mizuki for others, they would believe that they are Iruka and Mizuki and live on in that identity."

Good question, I'd like to know too!

Akabane felt that he couldn't answer anything else besides that question; that's the difference between a mediocre student and a top student.

Even if a top student can't answer a question, they can still use a wide range of sources and politely and gracefully express that they don't know.

It's different for underachievers.

Orochimaru finished explaining his conjectures about the soul in one breath, and finally sighed helplessly.

The realm of the soul is vast and boundless. Even the Second Generation, who was most skilled in research, did not have a clear understanding or explanation of it, let alone Akabane.

He sat down again and pulled out another booklet from underneath.

What kind of soul-searching question is this?

Akabane couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, he was a genius in other people's eyes. It would be too embarrassing if he couldn't answer any questions!

Fortunately, Orochimaru didn't make things difficult for him this time.

This booklet contains a design blueprint that demonstrates in detail a combination ninjutsu technique—

Using Earth Release barrier technique as the cannon barrel, Wind Release as the power source, and fire oil and fire release as cannonballs, it can carry out long-range attacks.

in short……

"Is that a cannon?"

“That’s right. I created this technique based on the idea in your manga, but for now, I haven’t thought of anyone who is suitable to use this ninjutsu.”

Orochimaru himself does not know Fire Release.

He has now developed two chakra nature transformations—one is wind, and the other is earth.

Without Fire Release, it can only be released in combination.

"This is just a preliminary concept. The ultimate goal is to create ninja tools, not to combine ninjutsu."

Orochimaru introduced his techniques.

"Not bad."

In my lifetime, I might just witness a real naval battle.

Akabane is becoming increasingly confident in Orochimaru's vision of a pirate kingdom, and perhaps in the future, the Land of Rivers can truly be transformed into something like the one in One Piece.

However, the name of the River Country will become somewhat ambiguous at that time.

The two chatted for a while longer before Akabane left the laboratory with the letter in his pocket.

After being away for four or five days, it's time to go back and let them know I'm safe.

It was already evening.

The nights in Konoha are relatively lively, with some people still walking around on the streets. When I returned to my clan, my parents were still awake and not yet at rest.

Seeing that Akabane was safe and sound, Kurama Chiaki also breathed a sigh of relief.

Akabane briefly mentioned what he could say, and then talked about Xiao Qingyue.

The Land of Whirlpools is probably gone.

Akabane could guess most of what the letter from the Whirlpool Tree Sea said, and even Kiyote herself had a general idea.

The girl seemed dull, but she was actually very clever.

Kurama Saki wholeheartedly agreed to the adoption as a daughter and the change of her surname.

As for Kurama Chiaki, he listens to Saki.

With the whole family agreeing, and with an elder and a future leader in the family, it's practically impossible for the Kurama clan to object.

Akabane had been away for several days and therefore was unaware of the situation.

He now enjoys the same treatment as the next clan leader within the clan. Everyone speaks of Chi Yu with praise and respect, and his reputation is excellent.

of course……

She's also notoriously lazy. For example, right now, as soon as I got home, I took a shower and then, without caring about anything else, I just covered my head and went to sleep.

Shan Yequan Hong is very knowledgeable. He specially delivered more than a hundred books in the morning. However, due to the shortage of personnel, the number of people in the convoy was much smaller this time. With the help of the surrounding villagers, they were able to quickly move everything back.

Although the manga shows that Kurama Unro knew Akabane had returned to the clan, after working together for a long time, he also understood Akabane's character quite well.

When Akabane returns from an outing, he usually needs to sleep for at least half a day.

When he's sleeping, anyone who disturbs him will get yelled at, unless it's something extremely important—like someone like the Third Hokage or Mito Uzumaki asking him for help. Otherwise, it's all postponed until he wakes up naturally.

Someone contacted us this time too.

However, since it was just a brat from the Uchiha clan, Kurama Unro didn't go looking for Akabane. He waited until Akabane woke up on his own and came out of his house to the comic book store before telling Akabane what had happened.

The person looking for him was Uchiha Ryo, but that guy was just a messenger; the one who should really be looking for Akabane was Uchiha Genkai.

Akabane left behind a shadow clone, then leisurely headed towards the guard unit.

However, something went wrong here.

Having been away for a while, he assumed the guards were still in the same old place. But when he arrived at the Uchiha's location, he learned that while he was away, the entire guard unit had been relocated to a remote area on the outskirts of the village.

Judging from the geographical location along the way, this should be the location of the Uchiha clan after they were expelled from the manga.

Find the guards, go through the main gate, and you'll see the lake directly in front of you where Sasuke later trained his fireball technique.

There used to be an abandoned training ground on the outskirts of the lake, but it has now been rebuilt and expanded into a large training ground. When Akabane walked in, he could still see many ninjas training inside.

As he approached the door, he saw Uchiha Genkai standing in the middle of the training ground, like a homeroom teacher, his eyes scanning back and forth, paying attention to the training situation of everyone present.

It seems he doesn't use the kaleidoscope very often, but his eyesight is still very good.

Akabane thought to himself, but upon getting closer, he realized that Uchiha Genkai's eyes were actually fixed on a child.

The child is about four or five years old and seems to have good talent. He already has the strength to accurately throw a kunai into the center of a target ten meters away, which shows that he has perfectly inherited the Uchiha bloodline.

"Your child?"

Akabane asked in a low voice.

"Yes, his name is Fugaku."

Uchiha Genkai was very proud. Judging from his current performance, he knew that Fugaku would definitely be a genius in the future.

"Ah."

Akabane glanced at the child.

In terms of appearance, she is somewhat similar to Itachi and Sasuke, but the resemblance is very limited. It seems that Itachi and Sasuke inherited more of Uchiha Mikoto's appearance.

Upon seeing Akabane arrive, Uchiha Genkai glanced at Fugaku a few more times, then turned and followed Akabane in another direction.

He pointed to the training ground and said, "I think the Third Generation Lord must have had his reasons for appointing you as the training instructor. Therefore, the main reason for inviting you here today is to ask you about training-related issues."

"Training? There's not much to say. My training mainly relies on the bloodline illusion technique of the Kurama clan, using the five senses to simulate the real battlefield as much as possible to achieve the purpose of preparatory training."

Akabane explained.

"Yes, I had guessed that. However, it seems that Shinku has recently developed a technique to freely manipulate illusions. Although it doesn't have the five senses, it should have some of the effects, right?"

Akabane was stunned.

Did the server succeed?

But then I thought about it again, and since Kurenai Yuhi is now a big shot in the guards, it doesn't seem to have much to do with him.

I felt a pang of sadness.

He sighed inwardly, then nodded heavily: "It does have an effect, but there may be differences in some areas."

"for example?"

Uchiha Genkai stopped in his tracks, tense.

Although the Uchiha clan also knows genjutsu, Akabane is clearly the real expert in this area.

"After all, an illusion is just an illusion. Many strategies can sacrifice others to achieve missions or strategic goals. Without the five senses, ninjas might use methods like exchanging injuries for injuries."

Akabane explained in detail.

These issues had actually been discussed with Danzo before; this is just a reiteration.

Uchiha Genkai listened attentively to every detail, nodding as Akabane spoke.

Finally, he sighed and said, "After your analysis, it is indeed true. An illusion is just an illusion after all. No matter how realistic it is, it cannot be compared with a real battlefield."

Akabane nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "However, I have a plan. The guard team has a lot of newly recruited genin, and our reserve team is full of newly recruited genin. After the reserve team starts training for a while, we can have a joint illusion exercise."

"A joint illusion exercise? That's a good idea."

Uchiha Genkai immediately agreed to the plan. After walking a few more steps, he looked around and, seeing that no one was around, took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Akabane.

Akabane glanced at it, then his eyes widened.

kaleidoscope?

He looked up in disbelief and glanced at Uchiha Genkai.

"Don't worry, it's just some non-classified information."

Uchiha Genkai sighed softly.

Akabane opened it, and as he said, it wasn't anything too confidential. It contained a test documenting the difference between Uchiha Genkai's use of a dojutsu before and after.

The decline in vision may not be significant, but for elite Jonin, even the slightest change can be felt.

He then said, "The eye that reflects the soul, the more hatred and pain one experiences, the stronger its power becomes. I believe you can guess this, otherwise it wouldn't have been portrayed as such a character."

"Hmm... I guess the Uchiha's eyes are related to mental energy mutation. The greater the negative emotions, the more active this mental energy becomes, eventually forming an energy form that is different from normal chakra."

Akabane told half the truth and half the story, not revealing everything.

The eye that truly reflects the soul!

There are some scattered records about these things within the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Genkai nodded slightly in agreement, but did not point out any errors.

He was just somewhat sentimental.

Did Akabane know all this just as a guess, or did the Second Hokage or the Anbu have data on the Uchiha clan?

In the past, Uchiha Genkai might have felt resentful and wanted to understand, but now he doesn't care.

If you know, you know; it's not a big secret anyway.

The important thing is that everyone in the tribe is alive and can live a peaceful life; that's more important than anything else.

At the same time, he was confident that with his management skills, the Uchiha would not engage in infighting to activate their Sharingan—if such a clansman did appear, he would kill him without hesitation!

Chapter 217 Not every pair of eyes can control me!

"But... can kaleidoscopes cause vision problems?"

Akabane pretended not to know and pointed to a certain entry in the booklet to ask.

Uchiha Genkai was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, the price of using it is to gradually walk into darkness."

"I see. But I remember Ban's eyes have been used for a long time without any side effects. Could it be that some method has been used to resolve this?"

Akabane guessed casually.

"do not know."

Uchiha Genkai remained expressionless; only he himself knew whether he was truly aware of the situation.

after all……

Some of the Uchiha clan's history must have been passed down, and he should be able to deduce some of the truth from the clues.

Akabane didn't expose her; it was just a casual question, so no answer was to be expected.
