I'm drawing manga in Naruto

A chaotic scene, guards struggling to maintain order, and Konoha Village experiencing traffic congestion.

A huge pot fell from the sky.

Akabane felt a heavy weight on his back, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

"Akaba, you're finally awake."

Yamano Izumi Kou hurried over and whispered, "The Akimichi clan ninjas were so enthusiastic! As soon as they knew the manga was going to be updated, they all waited at the door, and then..."

"I understand. Everyone's probably here to buy Master Boy. How many copies do you have left?"

Seventy-eight volumes.

Yamano Izumi answered quickly, because he was in a hurry to sell the copies and remembered every single one he sold.

Akabane turned to look at the long line behind him: "There are still seventy-eight volumes of the manga left. Apart from the first seventy-eight people, I will number the rest of you in order. The new manga will arrive in three days and will be delivered to your homes in order and by name, so please do not crowd or take up space."

"Sequential numbering?"

This is a good idea.

Akimichi Torifu happened to receive his manga, then turned to look at it and said, "Akimichi clan members, use your shadow clones to help count and complete the sequential numbering as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

With a reasonable method in place, order numbers were quickly delivered to Akabane.

Akabane handed these tracking numbers to Yamano Izumi and said, "Mr. Yamano, if it's convenient, please attach these tracking numbers to the outer packaging of the comic books after they've been printed. I'll have someone pick them up and deliver them."

"Yes, I understand."

Shan Yequanhong's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. Not only did they not need to send anyone to deliver the goods, but they could also deliver them directly to people's homes, saving everyone the time of coming to pick them up.

Convenient and fast.

"Um, please disperse, everyone. Don't block the road and disrupt traffic."

Akabane amplified his voice using chakra.

Before long, the people on the street gradually dispersed.

This situation was truly beyond his expectations. He originally thought that even if a new manga was released, it would be similar to One Piece or Naruto at most, and if people came one after another throughout the day, there would be no need for on-site supervision.

However, who would have thought that a mere food-themed comic would become so popular?

It's probably related to the Akimichi clan. When they see a long line of people, everyone flocks to it. Herd mentality applies everywhere.

After dealing with the queue issue, Akabane could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He was about to go back when one of the guards walked through the ranks and came up to him.

A member of the Uchiha clan.

Although he was wearing the standard uniform of the new guard, the Uchiha symbol was still visible on the hem of his clothes.

"My lord, the clan chief requests your presence to discuss some matters."

"Lord Yuanhai? Yes, lead the way."

Akabane thought for a moment, then followed the man to find Uchiha Genkai.

The reason they were looking for him now was definitely not about the food manga; there must be something else to discuss or inquire about. He followed the Uchiha clansman toward the training base.

Upon arriving at the training base, Akabane saw Uchiha Genkai standing by the expanded artificial lake.

"I'm so sorry to have asked you to come all this way, Akabane-kun."

Uchiha Genkai looked somewhat haggard, as if he was worried about something.

Akabane was somewhat puzzled.

What else is keeping Uchiha Genkai up at night?

So, the fact that he contacted me means it's related to him?

He fell into deep thought, and a few seconds later a word flashed through his mind: Reincarnation.

Yesterday's episode truly revealed part of Orochimaru's secrets regarding the Reanimation Jutsu—

Directly transferring the soul and taking over the other person's body is a secret technique of reincarnation that allows one to possess everything about the other person!

It seems that's the reason.

Uchiha Genkai took a few steps, sighed somewhat dejectedly, and then asked in a low voice, "Akaba, does such a ninjutsu as the Reanimation Jutsu truly exist in this world?"

"The realm of the soul is a field we haven't researched yet. To be honest, I don't know either. The Reincarnation of the Corpse is just a technique I created."

Akabane said.

However, this explanation clearly failed to convince Uchiha Genkai.

He thinks a lot.

First, he couldn't be sure if the Impure World Reincarnation technique actually existed. After all, in the manga, Orochimaru shamelessly claimed it as his own, and Uchiha Genkai was unaware that this technique was actually invented by the Second Hokage.

If the Impure World Reincarnation is established, then the Corpse Reincarnation is also a possibility.

Chapter 246: Kirigakure lodges a strong protest against the manga.

Uchiha Genkai was exhausted.

After joining Konoha, Uchiha became somewhat arrogant, thinking that after so many negative effects, no one would bother with Uchiha anymore.

Some time ago, he even hoped that Akabane would be drawn in a more tragic way, so as to stimulate the clansmen to awaken and advance.

Now, things are even worse – not only will they take away your eyes, but they will also take away your body.

If one of the two Uchiha heirs is usurped, there is indeed no more tragic outcome.

He remained silent for a long time, then sighed heavily and said, "I've heard that the Reaper Death Seal is a real technique. There are techniques in this world that summon the Grim Reaper at the cost of one's soul. Perhaps there really are ninjutsu that can escape the Grim Reaper's gaze and travel into other people's bodies..."

"Hmm... Shall I go and remove the comic?"

Akabane was somewhat unsure of Uchiha Genkai's thoughts.

If you want him to withdraw, you should have come to him yesterday instead of dragging your feet and only calling him over today when you found him directing the queue at the village entrance.

"It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's the thief's eye on it. What's the use of hiding these things? The main thing is to become strong yourself and develop a way to break the technique of resurrection."

Uchiha Genkai shook his head.

His thoughts were actually very clear, but for some reason, he didn't know how to express them.

Akabane was a smart man. At first, he didn't quite understand what Akabane was saying, but after hearing this, he began to understand.

As everyone knows, Orochimaru is the most skilled ninjutsu researcher in the entire village. In terms of research, even the Third Hokage, who is a ninja doctor, may be slightly inferior.

If you want someone to develop a solution, the best choice is naturally Orochimaru.

However, in the manga, it was Orochimaru who developed the Reanimation Jutsu.

Isn't this like learning how to catch a thief by looking for one?

Psychological problems, this is very difficult to handle!

Akabane was momentarily at a loss for words, after all, Orochimaru was indeed interested in the Sharingan, and if Uchiha Genkai were to deliver it to his doorstep, Orochimaru would probably be overjoyed.

But as for a way to break the cycle of resurrection...

In the manga, Sasuke was used as a vessel for reincarnation three years later, but with the power of his Sharingan and cursed seal, he seemed to have successfully turned against Orochimaru, preventing him from being reincarnated.

However, Sasuke is an exception.

He is the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, which must have an impact on various aspects. Otherwise, the three-tomoe chakra could backfire on the Reanimation Jutsu, making Orochimaru's painstakingly researched ninjutsu a joke.

After thinking for a moment, Akabane could only say, "If you really want to fight against the soul plundering the body, you have to start from many aspects. Either strengthen the strength of the soul, or develop a way to mark it with your own mark."

"what?"

Uchiha Genkai looked at Akabane in surprise.

He could understand the former—strengthening one's soul power would naturally help resist soul-based plundering—but this method was clearly ineffective for children.

No matter how strong a child's soul is, can it really compete with an adult's?

Unless the adult's soul is already broken beyond repair.

However, the method of marking others with one's own mark might help young members of the clan overcome the crisis.

He pondered for a moment, and after a minute or two, he understood what Akabane meant: "You mean that the conditions for this kind of soul-stealing ninjutsu must be very demanding, with a series of prerequisites. As long as we disrupt one of the links, it will be more difficult for the opponent to steal it?"

"Guessing, purely guessing."

Akabane nodded.

These are his personal speculations and have not been confirmed in the manga. The reason for repeating them twice is to prevent Uchiha Genkai from shifting the blame later.

Uchiha Genkai fell into deep thought.

If we compare the body to a house, then reincarnation is like a thief breaking in, driving away the weak child, and taking over the house. The act of leaving one's own "mark" is like adding a security door.

To some extent, it is useful.

Uchiha Genkai was well aware that it was only "to some extent" a solution, but it was still a method. Compared to his own unrealistic ideas such as "awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan," Akabane's proposal was clearly more suitable.

He took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Akabane-kun."

"It's alright, actually, these are all problems I caused."

Akabane shook his head.

The Reincarnation Technique seems to have been developed only by Orochimaru in the manga. He doesn't know its principles, but judging from the exchange level, it is a very high-end forbidden technique—requiring a full five thousand points!

Because it involves the realm of the soul, a very mysterious level that few people can master.

Akabane was very curious about this technique, but he didn't need it for the time being, so he wasn't interested in exchanging for it.

The same principle applies to curse seals.

The cursed seal is a degraded version of Sage Mode, and it's not what Akabane is after. He already has the Mangekyou Sharingan, Flying Thunder God Technique, and other ninjutsu, which, combined with his own strength, are enough to handle most battles.

These miscellaneous abilities can be ignored for now; prioritize exchanging for attributes.

He accumulated over 7,000 points during this period, enough for him to exchange for more than 30 attribute points!

"Anyway, thank you very much, Akabane-kun. If there's anything we can help with, please don't hesitate to let us know, or..."

Uchiha Genkai had a goal to strive for. Although they were not good at research, they could never entrust the research of techniques that were related to the fate of their clan to outsiders.

"No need, I just offered a suggestion."

Akabane shook his head slightly.

He understood that Yuan Hai's gesture was a veiled gesture of goodwill, and might even imply an alliance, but he could not agree to it.

The head of the guard team is Uchiha Motohiro, and the vice-captain is Akabane's father.

This is a balance. If the Kurama clan gets too close to the Uchiha, the village will definitely not feel at ease. In the end, either the power of the Uchiha and Kurama clans will be weakened, or another clan that can rival them will emerge.

Neither of these scenarios is what Akabane wants to see.

of course.

Although he said he didn't need any favors, Uchiha Genkai wouldn't be foolish enough to forget this kindness, as it would come in very handy at a crucial moment.

"gone."

There's a ton of stuff going on at the comic shop, I don't have time to chat here.

Akabane was in a terrible predicament. He had just been blamed for disturbing the peace, and he wondered how the Third Hokage would deal with him.

Ugh, this is awful.

At that moment, he wanted to light a cigarette to ease the melancholy in his heart.

Back at the comic book shop, Akabane saw a group of people sitting outside. Most of them were burly men from the Akimichi clan, who had no regard for appearances. Their tables were piled high with food, and they were stuffing themselves with food as they read.

"Magic Mapo Tofu!"

"Wow~ Dragon Dumplings, they look so delicious..."

"Food that glows is good food. What am I eating? Ugh, this junk food doesn't keep me full at all."

A bunch of gluttons groaned in agony, stuffing handfuls of food into their mouths as they cried out. Their stomachs seemed bottomless, and they never looked full.

Akabane wiped away a cold sweat, feeling that the entire Konoha restaurant industry should give him a share of the profits; he estimated that today's income alone could equal their usual monthly turnover.
