I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Tsunade laughed out loud.

She said something was strange. Akabane usually swept his hair back and didn't have bangs, but now that he had covered his hair, his whole face looked odd.

"It's okay, I just wanted to change my hairstyle."

Akabane would never admit that he thought the diamond-shaped mark was too girly and that's why he wanted to cover it up.

"It looks better if your forehead is exposed."

Tsunade brushed her hair aside.

"gone."

Akabane waved his hand.

He was initially worried that the three of them might have some opinions about the latest plot, but it's clear that they have completely separated their "self" in the comics from reality.

The three ninjas have broken up?

The three of them aren't even among the Legendary Sannin anymore, so what's the point of arguing about that?

However, as third-generation disciples, if they really end up like this in the comics, it is indeed very heartbreaking and sad.

After teaching these ninjutsu to Tsunade, Tsunade herself entered a semi-secluded state. Akabane didn't bother her much afterward, but instead used his sensory abilities to check on the training progress of the preparatory group students while taking a break.

In terms of physical skills, Might Guy is far ahead—his talent in physical skills is not top-notch, but his willpower and endurance are amazing, and he can endure hardships that others cannot.

These characteristics perfectly align with the features of a health-boosting meal.

He not only eats things that others fear like snakes and scorpions, but also asks for an extra midnight snack. In the morning and afternoon, he drinks a nutritious juice as a refreshment during his breaks.

Previously, Dai couldn't afford anything too nourishing due to poverty, but now, in just over ten days, his physique has visibly improved.

Thanks to this, he was the first to be granted permission to learn the Eight Gates – Opening Gate – from Orochimaru, a technique personally tested by Danzo.

of course.

Orochimaru, having obtained such an excellent experimental subject, was generous in passing on his research and combat experience, which he had Dai write down in a booklet.

Dai didn't understand, but he was very diligent and would always take it back to look through it slowly and ponder it little by little.

With the month drawing to a close, half of the special training had already passed.

Everyone's physical fitness is much better than before, and they have also improved in other aspects. Akabane figured it was time to add some extra ingredients.

The new rules are simple.

A surprise attack in the middle of the night.

After discussing with the other instructors, Akabane quickly approved the proposal. To ensure safety, he still invited many medical ninjas and ANBU to come and keep order.

That evening, Akabane played "Rock Lee's Struggle Story".

This storyline begins when Rock Lee is considered incapable of becoming a ninja, and continues until he is injured by Gaara and Tsunade deems him unable to continue as a ninja.

From despair to hope and then back to despair...

Their lives are different from Naruto's, but equally moving and deeply touching.

That night.

As usual, the genin left one person from each team to keep watch at night, while the rest went to sleep.

At this moment, the fog gradually thickened.

No one noticed anything amiss, not even Iwamaru. Its eyes scanned the surroundings, its vigilance was extremely high.

The next second, its expression became blank, and it gradually fell into a deep sleep.

This is a manifestation of illusion.

The art of nirvana!

A wide-range illusion technique quickly hypnotized all the awakened ninjas, after which the instructors appeared in the surrounding trees.

"Their vigilance is too poor. With scout ninjas from the Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans, not one of them noticed my Hidden Mist Technique and Genjutsu."

Akabane stood on the tree and criticized.

Ryosuke Shiranui remained expressionless.

Discover?

It's not that they're too weak, but rather that your mastery of the Fog Concealment Technique and Illusion Technique is too strong.

Such a high level of technique would be impossible for even the genin, let alone the chunin instructors. Fortunately, it was nighttime, so no one saw the ashamed expressions on the chunin instructors' faces.

“Each squad takes half of the men and leads them to the other side of the training field.”

Akabane said calmly, "Tomorrow, assign each of them some tasks, but mark that the other half of their teammates are in danger, and let them choose and take action."

"Yes."

Ryosuke Shiranui lowered his head.

This situation is also frequently encountered on the battlefield, where choosing between companions and continuing the mission often becomes a agonizing question for everyone.

"Then, let's get started."

After Akabane finished speaking, he formed hand seals and instantly disappeared.

This kind of physical labor is definitely not something a genius like me should do.

The mentors looked at each other in bewilderment.

How could just a few of them move fifty genin?

"Adults from the Dark Division, come out and lend a hand. Let's lead the students to the other side of the training ground. Also, please have the medical personnel stay here to prevent any accidents from happening."

Ryosuke Shiranui swiftly issued the order.

Chapter 231 The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and the Uchiha felt...

Early the next day.

Many of the genin on night duty were uneasy—it was their turn to be on night duty yesterday, but for some reason they were so sleepy halfway through that they just fell asleep.

however……

When I woke up, I looked around and everyone was completely bewildered.

"This is where?"

"What happened? How did we get here? Where is the others?"

"..."

The environment was completely unfamiliar. Upon closer inspection, many people realized that this was the other half of the training ground where they hadn't been active much.

A group of people started discussing it amongst themselves.

"Quiet down, all of you."

Lu Ming was completely bewildered. After everyone quieted down, he rubbed his temples, observing his surroundings and pondering.

After a long pause, he spoke up: "First, those who were on night duty last night, please tell us what happened."

"We didn't know, we just felt really sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it."

Someone said weakly.

Inuzuka Ishi, holding Iwamaru, stared blankly for a few seconds before saying, "I remember the fog was particularly thick..."

"Mist, trap... Very good. Mist is the technique of concealment, and trap is a large-scale illusion technique called Nirvana Abode. We can confirm that we were ambushed by our mentors. If we were on the battlefield, we would have been wiped out."

Lu Ming said calmly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after several seconds, some people gradually came to their senses.

They've been too comfortable lately, which has made them less vigilant than they were at the beginning. If they were really on the battlefield, they would have all died last night.

Lu Ming looked around and said, "Everyone, look around and see if there are any clues. The mentors wouldn't go to such lengths to move us without giving us any hints."

"Yes!"

Everyone started to take action.

Although Shikame was a year older, he was still a Genin, so the others didn't necessarily have to follow his orders. But at this crucial moment, only he was clear-headed and gave orderly commands, so everyone obeyed his instructions.

Soon.

"I have an extra quest scroll on me."

"Me too."

"..."

Everyone gathered the task scrolls together and looked through them one by one.

All the missions point to three completely different directions, except for one that leads to the other half of the training ground. The descriptions of the three missions are also completely different.

Some were carrying war intelligence, others were ordered to support the front lines, and still others were responsible for transporting ninja tools such as shuriken.

Everyone looked at Lu Ming, unable to make a decision for a moment—all three were very important tasks.

"What? Do you all expect me to give orders?"

Lu Ming looked at them and sighed helplessly.

"Your mind is the clearest, hehe..."

Inuzuka Ishi felt no shame whatsoever. He didn't have high aspirations or great ambitions; he was content as long as he could complete the mission.

Others wanted to step forward, but lacked the ability to come up with a solution, so they had to keep their thoughts to themselves for the time being.

Lu Ming looked around, sighed, and then began to issue the mission: "Select four ninjas who are good at speed, stealth, and rushing, and take this war intelligence to the mission point. Half of the rest will support the front line, and the rest will come back with me to find our teammates."

"Yes!"

Without any questions, after a round of selection, the chosen candidates were quickly assigned and began their respective tasks.

On a large tree not far away.

Nohara Shigeaki smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Ryosuke, it seems that someone is in charge here and they have already started to take action."

“The Nara brats are always smart and have a lot of guts. They even dare to give orders at a time like this... So let’s get started. Everyone, proceed according to the original plan.”

Ryosuke Shiranui's lips curled into a slight smile.

The three tasks have different priorities. For example, supporting the front lines and delivering intelligence are top-priority tasks that must be completed first.

While ninja tools like shuriken are important, they can be prioritized later, following the orders of one's comrades.

of course……

Strictly speaking, in the ninja code of conduct, completing the mission is the primary objective, so even if comrades lose contact, the mission must be completed first.

From this perspective, Lu Ming's decision to abandon the third mission and choose to find companions was undoubtedly a mistake, and he is very likely to be blamed later.

This is also why many cunning little devils dare not stand out.

Unlike this side, the other side doesn't have a commander like Lu Ming, and they're currently embroiled in a debate.

There aren't three missions here; there's only one mission and one choice—prioritize the mission or prioritize rescuing your companions.

“Ninjas prioritize completing their missions. I believe we should prioritize completing our missions first, and our comrades can search for us after we finish our missions.”

Uchiha Ryo said without hesitation.

"I think we should find our partners first. The mission manual says that our partners were scattered to another area because of last night's raid. They are likely in danger, and our mission location is very far from their location. By the time we finish the mission, it will be too late to find them."

He sought the Dao in the mountains.

"I don't need your opinion, I only need my opinion, so listen to me!"

"Uchiha Ryo said coldly."

"How can you do this? Your companion is in danger, of course you should save your companion first!"

Matt Day stood up and shouted at them.

Seeing that someone had spoken up, the others followed suit and began to take sides. No one could convince anyone else, and after arguing for a long time, they decided to split up. One group completed the task, while the other went to find their companions.

Not far away, several Chunin instructors were with Akabane.

"Sir, what should we do?"
